MOOSE LAKE COUNTRY
IS PROMISING WELL
Rich Specimens Of Ore Come From
the Mines West of Ana
conda

Jerry Connolly, the veteran mining
man of Granite, is in the city for brief
visit. He leaves this evening to take
part in the Fourth of July celebration at
Philipsburg. when the eagle will be
hauled down from it's nest in the noun
tains and parade the streets for the
edification of Young America.
Mr.. Connolly is now prospecting the
Moose lake district, some 40 miles west
of Anaconda, looking for the mineral
treasures that are firmly believed to be
concealed in the hills there. Speaking
of the district, Mr.. Connolly said:
II believe that, with the single possible
exception of the Butte district, the
Moose lake country is destined to be the
richest in the state. There is gold, silver
and copper in great quantities, If pres
emit indications prove good. There are
from 40 to so men at work prospectiE g
at present, almost every hill having its
miners camp. All the men are finding
indications that point to fortunes in tie
near future, and all are CORRESPONDENCE
jubilant.
"At present there is but one real mine
in the district, that one belonging to J.
p. Dunn, who is shipping ore to Ant
conda that runs close to so per ton.
Inc district is TOO remote Tor any great
notice of it's richness to spread to the
outside world, and also too remote for
the speedy introduction of the capital
that is necessary to carry on the work
and show what is in the country.
"A petition has been forwarded 20

justification for a new effice. Heretofore
it has been impossible to get any one

Fourth of July.

1t is the spirit which makes tie
holiday that furnishes the basis of
self-government and insures to every
American equal rights under the law.
When the Fourth of July becomes a
second-class holiday, when mems minds
cease to revert to the cause Of it's origin
and when they no longer encourage
their children to observe it with eager
enthusiasm, then the government of, by
and for the people will be in danger OF
disintegration. Fortunately there is no
evidence that such a time will ever
come. The American people We're never
more patriotic than now, they never en-
joyed so many privileges and so much
liberty as now. The national spirit OF
unity and brotherhood between the pco-
pie of the several states was never .e.
fore SO strong. These facts were amply
demonstrated three years ago when, eff
Santiago de Cuba. the battle of the
Fourth of July was fought, which shat
tered the Spanish power in the western
proved to the world that the Americ an
love Of liberty and the American willing
ness to fight for it had not weakened,
but had strengthened with the years.
Before Santiago on sea and land the
flower of American youth did credit to
the traditions of Concord and Bunker
Hill, and the north and south stoo
shoulder to shoulder battling with the
forces of tyranny that a new nation
might enjoy the blessings of freedom.
AS the years come and go the cela-
bration of the Fourth of July should be-
come more general and more reverent.
The people Of the Union have much to
be thankful for in the way Of unparal-
leled material prosperity and briyh.
prospects, but the heritage Of liberty
which the fathers fought ana bled for
and bequeathed to their sons transcends
in value every other gift that has come
out of the past to bless and enrich hu-
mainly. AS long as George Washington
remains enshrined in the affections OF
the American people the government a,
Washington will live and prosper.

Threatened lnjuncti0nS.

The Boston News Bureau Of June 80
quotes the following, under New York
date:
If the laws of Montana are enforced,
the Parrot and the Boston & Montana,
as we'll as the Anaconda, will be taken
away from the Amalgamated Copper
company, and operated by receivers.
The origin of that yarn is not stated
by the Boston paper, but it's purpose
can be readily surmised. That purpose
is to create more alarm among business
men and workingmen in Butte; to in
jure the credit of the former and cause
apprehension and distrust among tne
latter. The publication of such stuff is

1t is reflection upon the good name Of
the state. The great mines of the Butte
district will never be operated by re-
ceivers, no matter by whom their ao-
pointment may be requested. There is
no doubt that under certain conditions
receivershlps are necessary to insure
justice to parties litigant, but the paper
which boldly asserts that any given
mines are to be placed by the courts in tie
hands Of receivers to be worked, should
verify the information or suppress it.

paper, would not be capable of oper-

PASTORS LIFE FULL
OF ODD EXPERIENCES

That the life of a pastor is full of ups
and downs" as we'll as that of the man of
the world was lately illustrated. Mid
night had come, silence brooded and all
was dark save the distant street incan-
descent and a night lamp. burning in
the parsonage. After a busy day-ca;ls
on parishioners, hours of study, sermon
writing, calls received and advice sought
and given on a wide range of emergen-
cies the Wearied pastor lay down at
goodly hour to rest the weary body and
BRAIN Sweet sleep soon soothed him,
only to be driven hurriedly away by
sounds of distress from an adjoining
room. With alacrity the good man arose
and tenderly cared for the suffering
member of the family until pain yielded,
then again sought his twice welcome
couch, leaving a night lamp burning in
the convalescent's room, only too pure
beacon to eager eyes; waiting Nor
pheus again laid soft fingers upon the
pastors tired eyes and touched gently
the palpitating brain, soothing to soft
repose. The clock chimed twelve-the
midnight hour-his wearied sense took
but a dreamer's note of this sound, but
a moment later was startled to 'Strenu-
ous' consciousness by the clang of the
door bell-Shiller ran ever at this erie

the messenger, who probably sought his
PRAYERS to ease some death bed. Instead
his eyes were dazzled by the respondent

in the mineral belt. It is urgently IN

Edwards. have a fine prospect, which
they are working from a tunnel. They
expect to run the tunnel 500 feet or more
pefore doing any other development
work. That will be sufficient to show
the extent of the deposit.
Mr.. Connolly brought in a sample OF
hne-looking quartz. which is being as
sayed here in the city. He would hazard
no estimate as to it's real value, but his
eyes sparkled as he brought it to light
and those of the reporter did likewise
should the assay be equal to appear
ances, Mr. Connolly has a bonanza.
Some eight years ago the B., A. & p,
made preliminary survey into the
Moose lake country, but nothing came OF
1t, and the country is still just as nature
lett 1t. There is great abundance OF
timber and water, good country to
prospect in, save for it's remoteness from
town. AS most prospectors are not men
OF great means, it is seldom that they
go very far from the base of supplies.
and SO this apparently rich district has
| escaped their notice. But now the work
of development is going on in earnest,
and it may be that Mr.. Connolly's pre-
dlctions are to have speedy realiza-

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
Helena Is Scandalixed.

One Of the good men who call the
sinners to repentance and whose field
Of endeavor is at Helena has given
onense to almost every man in the capt.
tai city by an onslaught on the social
clubs Of which the Last Chance gulch
place has several and which are the par
ticular pride and glory of it's Inhabitants.
In full view of large congregation and
IN the possession of all of his senses he
last Sunday declared that the clubs of
Helena ARE consecrated to the devil.
The Lambs club with it's bar, a source
CT large income, is following closely in
the footsteps of the Montana, where it
is well known that all kinds of de-
bauchery are fostered." These were the
words used by the reverend gentleman
and what is more. he refuses utterly to
take back a single word. The charge is
a fearful one and it is hard to conceive
that man who presumably is not
member of either one of the clubs which
he aSSailS would dare make it,
. The Rev. Mr.. Bovard must have been
the victim of falsehood, or else he got
the Seely dinner and some of the little
p!easantries practiced at the Helena
clubs mixed. Think of Sam Hauser.
Governor ToOle and more of the promi-
ncnt members of the Montana club ac-
cused of debauchery when doing nothing
more wicked or sinful than trying the
nerve of one another in seeing who can
bluff the longest and hardest on pair
of deuces. or ex-Mayor Weed and one of
the Kleinschmidt boys drinking the
health of each other in highballs. Mr..
Bovard has been victimized and if he
does not believe it he should secure a
visitors card and drop in some evening.
Upon leaving he might think that he
had used poor judgment in backing some
of the hands dealt him, but he would
never acknowledge himself guilty of hav-
ing engaged in debauchery.-Bil Billings
