With a total metal production in
the year 1900 OF SG3, I4G, 726, the state
Of Montana continues to hold its rank
among the chief metal producing
states Of the union. This IL shownin
detail by the report Of b. II. Tatem,
assayer In charge of the United States
assay office at Helena.
\ decrease in the average price OF
copper, the principal metal product,
has caused a decline in the aggregate
value Of the output in the year 1900,
ms compared with 1899, but there was
n slight increase in the quantity pro-
duced. With the opening OF new dis
tricts to add their quota to the great
production of Silver Bow county, the
present year should show a material
increase.

After making a careful canvas OF

OF this years enormous crop, says:

friendly trade relations with Russia by

Senator Mason of Illinois has gone

may not be far amiss, lie says the
Democrats will in 1904 abandon free sill
yer and nominate n sound money man

third party and the Republicans win
continue in power. In that ease where

would the Democracy of Montana align

been operating the Alabama mine In

have recently commenced develop

some important discoveries Of cyan
ide ores have been made. Consider
able prospecting for cyanide ores has
been in progress In the Rockies dur
lng the present year, and though not
enough development has yet been
accomplished To verify the extent or
value of the cyanide ores II is thought
that some large bodies oi that ore
will be exposed in the Rockies, as the
formations there are much similar To
those Ia which the ore occurs in the
judith range. Putnam X Iortman
have located n group of claims en-
tending over Il distance ofncarly two
miles. along the contact on thesouth-
east side oi the range. and very favor
able assays have been received from
the discoveries. Their present visit
to Gilt Edge is for the purpose Of in
