DISCOVERIES MADE NEAR CoUN-

FIVE FOOT VEIN DISCLOSED
Anaconda Almost Certain to Become a
Big Coal Mining Camp-Find Was
Made by Oscar Perry, 10
Years Of Age.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Nov. 30.-The discovery Of
coal in Newcombe's gulch just north of
the city has been followed up with an
other discovery in Sheep Gulch. south Of
the city, only short distance above the
Deer Lodge county courthouse.
This disclosure, like the one across the
valley, promises to develop into mine
of great Importance and the time may
not be far distant when the citizens of
this city will be drawing a part of their
fuel supply from the gulch south of
town. One thing is certain. the latest
find has demonstrated beyond a doubt
that this city is built upon coal belt,
how vast. remains yet to be learned.
The indications are, however, that the
recent discoveries will prove to be per-
manent and ere long Anaconda will rank
as one of the most important coal min
ing camps in Montana.
The discoverer of the Sheep Gulch de-
post is young Oscar Perry, 10 years of
age, a son of Isaac Perry. The New
combe's gulch disclosure lead him to be-
1ieve that the coal strata crossed the
valley to the southeast, SO he set out
to make Investigations. He tramped
over the hills back of the courthouse

and when he had been out but short
time he reported to his father that ne
had found something which had every
appearance of being COAL He broushe
down with him samples of the Groupings
which seemed to confirm the young
mans statements. Subsequently the eider
Perry located 100 acres of land IN MS
name and Immediately commenced de-
velopment work by sinking shaft.
Mr. Perry was very jubilant last nlgnt
over the result of yesterdays labor IN
camp and when he came down town an
nOunced that he had opened up gooo
body of coal about five feet in width at
a depth OF little more than the same
number of feet from the surface.
AS natural consequence OF Deihg
found so near the surface, 1t is still I'M
pregnated with seams. but these ne ex-
poets will disappear with depth. Tests
made with it proved that it's colnbusti-
bic qualities were good. 1t burned read
iIy and made a good fire, leaving re-
marably little ashes.
The quality of the coal is much the
same as that found in Newcombe's gulch
and further over on the Lost Creek side
OF the mountain.
Mr. Perry states that the vein pitches
toward the valley and the general
trend of the vein Is from the northwest
to the southeast and in a direct line
with the finds on the north side Of Ana
cOnda's limits.

Slump in Trade Caused by Fear That

London, Nov. 3O.-The fall in silver
threatens to cause depression in the

export to China and India.
1t is attributed to heavy sales by
American smelters rather than to the
premature rumors that the Chinese gov

AGAINST TAXATION FOR CLASSES.

cago, Ills, on Dec. 4, 1901.
Gentlemen of the National Live Stock
Association:
Poets have described and artists have
depicted, times without number, the
beauties of the only perfect human home
ever known to this world. In all the
literature and art Of Christendom, for
centuries, the biblical Garden Of Eden
has been portrayed as the one abode
entirely satisfying in its tranquil and
enchanting loveliness. Foliage, flower
and fruit abounded in rich and gorgeous
profusion, and neither storms nor clouds
ever darkened this winterless and
delightful home. Poets and painters
have We'd with each other in sketching
it and have exhausted, in their efforts,
the opulence of exaggerative descrip-
tion. Our first parents have been en-
We'd as to their lot, and criticised for
thousands of years because of that dis
obedience which brought the fall, or
uplifting, of the race from well-fed,
physical Incidence and perfect mental
stagnation, to strenuous struggle for
bodily life and a perpetual tension Of
intellectual activities
But the one great beauty Of that
original homestead on this earth which
has escaped alike the attention of
artists and poets, strikes the mind of
the economist as more to be sought
after, nobler and more heaven-like, than
all other characteristics and qualities,
and that is it's absolute Taxlessness.
That first inhabited and pre- empted
quarter section of the globe appeals to
the Judgment and reason of modern
men who are forced every day to think
of the burdens of taxation which gov
ernments impose upon subjects and citi-
zens alike in the beginning of the
twentieth century. No assessor ever
valued the acreage in the Garden of
Eden for the purposes of taxation. No
distress warrant was ever issued be-
cause of the non-payment of personal
taxes in that most serene and tranquil
home. Taxation is then the one great
sequential curse of the disobedience of
Adam and Eve. This curse intensifies
itself as the generations Of men come
and go. This curse is so ubiquitous, so
universal, that it reaches every human
being and EFFORTS its claim. There
never was and there never will be a
tax levied under any form of govern.
ment or law which, in and of itself, is a
blessing. A system of organized society
exacting no compensation for the pro.
lection of life, liberty and property
would be an ideal government. When
ever human research and inpenuitv car
