NEW MILL NOW IN OPERATION
Ores of Cave Gulct Being Turned to Gold Bars--Whs-

Developed by Four TunneIs--FulI
Description of Property.

The new cyanide plant of A. s.
Wright & Co.. erected on their Whis-
Ky Ouch properties and but recently
completed, began operations Mondny
morning, February eth. This mill IL
located at the head Of Cave gulch,
about two and "A half miles south Of
the town Of Gilt Edge, and has the
greatest ore-consuming capacity of
any plant yet erected In FerguscOun-
ty, being very complete In every de-
tail and n model ofconstructlon from
the mill mans point of view. An
ARGUS man was present MT the start
ing OF the mill aud through the cOur-
tcsy of Mr.. a. l.. Luslnger, manager,
and his assistant. Mr.. ]. III. McCor-
mick, he wus shown through the en-
tire plant and thus enabled To give n
correct report OF this new factor in
the mineral output of the county.
This mill. though located in Cave
gulch. il commonly known ~ the
Whisky gulch mill, as il Is intended
to work the ores of the group al
mines known as the Whisky Gulch
Group, of which we shall speak later.
II has u capacity for the consump-
tion of about two hundred aud
twenty tons Of ore each tweuty-fUur
hours and In many respects II is not
only an innovation but n decided i'm
provemcnt On the other cyanide
plants of dissection. The mill build
Ing il constructed ON the terrace plan,
there being four benches or floors.
Above the upper floor, and connected
with 1t by Il chute. is AN ore bin with
n holding capacity of three hundred
tons. The ore from this bin passes
down the chute ovcra grizzly (screenl
directly into "A Gates crusher that IL
able to crush fifty tons per hour.
From the Gates crusher the ore passcs
Into belt cup cunveyor and IL elc'
waited and cmpt!ed into n one-fourtll
Inch mesh revolving screen. From
the revolving screen the fines pass
down u trough on to beltconvcyor
which carries them To the teaching

Petitions against the enactment oil
the Tierney gambling bill continue to
be received each day and II the
measure ever reaches the house
which is very doubtful-the commit
tee will found an abundance OF OPP
position already at hand. The com
mittee on public morals OF the SEN
ate has announced public meeting
to be held tomorrow and then those
who favor the licensing Of crime can
have an opportunity of saying so.
The Helena Business Mems associa-
tion did not indorse the bill. az some
of the members desired, the opposi-
tlon being overwhelming. 1t Is
hardly believed the bill will even get
a favorable report in committee.
Representative Lehman has intro
duced several measures, and it Is
probable that they will pass. One
changes the statutes OF limitations
on book accounts from four to five
years; another provides for the de-
posit OF public funds In banks and
the payment of interest thereon TO
the state or county. The last named
seems to be especially certain OF pas
sage, as already there has been much
consideration of the subject and the
feeling appears unanimous in its
favor.
Women suffrage has made its an
nual appearance and in a few days
will be debated, defeated and laid
aside for two years more. Represen-
tative Jensen. oi Cascade county is
the bills father this session.
The house appropriations commit
tee and many individual members
visited the new capitol one day this
week and expressed approval of the
building though nearly all believed it
had been built too far out VI town.
1t will be ready for occupancy next
summer or fall and the Legislature
must appropriate a considerable
amount for furnishings and improve
ment of the grounds.
Powell county has been created.
Gov. ToOle affixed his signature
Thursday and the bill took effect the
following day. 1t Is reported that
before adjournment bill will be
passed changing the name OF Deer
Lodge county to DAILY county, this to
be followed Immediately by another
bill changing the name of Powell
county to Deer Lodge county. To
such a movement there would scarce
ly be any opposition, as its effect
would be to restore to old Deer
Lodge Its name and give the name Of
it's founder to the county OF which
Anaconda Ia practically all.
The pure food bill, making provi-
sion against the sale Of articles under
other than their legitimate names,
has passed the senate, amended to
exclude drugs and medicines from it's
provisions and postponing the date
of it's taking effect to July lst. Boz

said he knew all Of the people living
In the district involved wanted the
bill passed. they were entitled To II

that there would he no opposition to

otiice-holders vi Fergus county. Mr..
Stull rad also II letter from David
lIilgcr, Il prominent Democrat oi
Fergus county, who nude the same
statements contained in the first
letter.
Murray of McaGher countyiollowed
Mr.. Stull in favor OF the motion and
In opposition TO the bill. He snld
that from time to time Mcaghcr

the bill proposed to take n little more
than one township from Meaghcr

To lose IL.
"Mr. Stull," said the speaker, "is a
very clever politician. and II he can

IN THE LEGISLATIVE HALLS
Eight Hour Bill Was Enacted to Take Effect in Ninety
Days--StulPs Segregation Bill Was Beaten
by Large rlajorty- ty--Senatoral
Vote is Chestnut.

Helena, Feb. Especial to the AR
GUs-The feature of the past week in
legislative circles was the passage OF
the Quinn eight hour bill, amended
So that its provisions SO far az relate
to smelters will not take effect for
ninety days after approval. The
senate committee heard great
amount of testimony concerning 1t
and reached the conclusion that to
put the eight hour law in force I'M
mediately both in mines and smelters
would cause many OF the latter to
shut down until competent men
could he employed. A majority of
the committe first decided to report
as substitute measures the two Hob
son bills. One Of these provided for
eight hours In mines and under
ground work, the same as the Quinn
bill, and the other for eight hours In
smelters, concentrating works,
stamp mills, etc., the first named
bill to go into effect Immediately up
ON approval. and the latter not until
June. But the next morning one of
the members of the majority agreed
to support the minority reportfavor-
ing the Quinn bill as amended and
after a days debate, the measure was
passed by the senate, approved by
the house and sent to the governor,
who signed 1t Saturday. The bill re-
ceived the vote Of every member
in each house, SO that no partisan
benefits attach to its passage. Both
the Republican and Democratic plat
forms had declared for eight hour
legislation and the pledges have been
redeemed.
In the house Friday afternoon the
Stull bin to take twenty-six sections
from Fergus county and a small
piece from Meagher and attach it to
Yellowstone was almost unanimous
ly beaten. Mr.. Hedges led the oppo-
sitiOn and made an able fight. 1t
was generally conceded to have been
the best debate OF the session.
Mr.. Stull was completely on the de-
fensive and his argument failed to
win any considerable support. This
measure Is now killed.
Voting for senator has become n
chestnut. The voting elicits little in
terest and the formality Is only gone
through with each day so as to COM
ply with the law. Rumors float
about, but how much foundation
there is for them cannot be ascer-
tained. Friday it was said that as
soon as the eight hour bill was
passed the labor henderson the
Heinze element-would switch and
make possible an election, but Satur-
days vote showed no material
changes. Frank has evidently
reached his maximum and yesterday
fell off to eighteen. Many believe no
election will he had until towards
the close OF the session and then q
surprise of some sort may be sprung.
The Republican vote has been cast
for Lee Mantle each day. Following
is the vote OF the leading candidates
up to date:

CoMsToCK DIvIDENDs.

A dividend has been declared by the
Consolidated Virginia Mining Company
after a cessation of over six years. The
amount is 10 cents share on the 2l6,0OO
shares of the capital stock, or $21, 600
AS there is 100000 in the companys
treasury after the payment of all of
the April bills, the surplus is sufficient
to continue the payment of dividends
for nearly five months, while the condi-
ton of the mine is said to be such as to
promise payments for an indefinite pc
riod. This result has been accom-
plished by the draining and pump
ing out of the mine from the 1900
to the 2100 foot levels, where a body of
ore has been exposed and partly work.
ed that had lain under water for a
score of years. 1t is reported to run
between $40 and $50 a ton and to b.
about half and half as to the proper
ton of gold and silver, the first named
metal slightly predominating. 1h'
Consolidated Virginia has been the first
of the Comstocks to undertake the
pumping out and draining of the deep
levels. and has invested large amounts
in the electric machinery required for
that purpose, besides. occupying about
two years in the task. Success became
evident some time since, and % con-
sequence other of the mining enter
prises on the Comstock have provided
themselves with like machinery and
will also proceed to resume deep eX-
ploitation on that once famous lode.
The last previous dividend of the Con-
solidated Virginia was paid in Febru-
ary, 1895, and 1t was then prognosti-
Gated that no more would ever be paid
by any of the Comstock companies.
