General Fred Grant. who recently re-
turned from Manila on the transport
Sheridan, was interviewed in San Fran
cisco on the condition of affairs in the
Philippines. General Grant said that
everything was settling down and that
the real work of governing and teach
ing the people had commenced, but their
peculiar national character makes them
hard subjects for the present. "You
must remember" said the General,
that they were originally pirates, that
their civilization is of the nth, not of
the 18th century, and the tendency to
~brigandage is SO strong among them
that it amounts to a disease. In many
districts the paying of tribute to rob-
bcrs is considered the regular thing, no
more out of the way than taxes. Our
task now isto give them good govern
mcnt in their municipalities, to protect
them against themselves until they ac-
quire 4 taste for order, and then with
draw gradually from active interior
encc, leaving the towns. one at n time,

district, 50 as to insure against relapse.

brigandagc and pillagc, and even mur-
der for n long time" Yet such are the
people whom the ''aunties" declared
ready to assume all of the duties and
responsibilities of an independent gov
eminent. Generals Grant further stated
that the resistance of the insurgents
was prompted 10y events in the United
States during the last presidential cam.

There are hundreds OF preparations

:Hmong the Miners
DEVOTED TO THE LARGE AND SMALL
NEWS OF THE MINING CAMPS
OF FERGUS COUNTY.


The initial steps were taken this
week toward the contamination OF
what may prove to be "a very impor-
tant mining deal in the Gilt Edge dis
trlct, and one that, II carried to a
successful termination, will add vast
ly to the output and prosperity OF
that camp. az 1t will put in operation
some unusually promising properties
that have not heretofore been known
among the producing mines OF the
district. BY this deal Messrs. Jones,
Matthews & Miller have given an op-
tlon for a bond ON the Mammoth
group OF claims to W. l.. Lawrey,
who recently entered the district
from Rossland, b. c., and IL reported
to represent a syndicate OF New York
capitalists. The option covers the
entire Mammoth group, comprising
eight claims lying Immediately north
Of and joining the mines OF the Great
Northern NJ. 4 ID. company and To-
Gated along the line OF the great de-
posits Of s~edimentary ores that are
known to exist throughout the
length Of the contact Of the porphyry
with the carbonlferous lime on the
east slope Of the range. The option
Is for sixty days and the bond when
given will involve II monetary con-
sideration Of 800, 900 and will have u
time limitation Of one year. The
greater part OF the development work
On the group has been done on the
Mammoth claim, which has one tun-
mel In the hill 40 feet which shows
ore almost Its entire length, and an
other 60-foot tunnel on the same
ground shows a good body Of low
grade cyanide ore, AZ does a 10O-foot
tunnel on the White Elephant, an
other promising property Of the
group. The average assay values OF
the ores on the Mammoth. are about
IS and the mill tests that have been
made have proved them to be very
susceptible to the cyanide treatment.
A substantial cash payment was
made to the owners On the delivery
Of the option and the first payment
on the bond is to be made when the
bond Is given. Two shifts of miners
have commenced work on the ground,
and as the claims are known tn be
among the most promising undevel-
oped properties in the district there
il little doubt but that the bond will
be required at the expiration Of the
option and that the Mammothg group
will soon be added to the list of pro-
ducing mines and will become an i'm
pOrtant iactor toward increasing the
bullion production Of the district.

The serious illness of Mrs. Mckinley
will cause universal regret, not alone
for the lady herself. who has long been
an invalid. but for the announcement
that her condition made necessary the
abandonment of the visit of the presi-
dental party to the northwest. The
disappointment of the people will be
shared by the president and his official
family as well. From Montana to the
Pacific coast elaborate preparations
were being made for the presidents ~.

have been second to none of her sister

patriotism. Our people will still en-

The recent important mining dis
coveries and transactions In the Ju-
dlth and North Moccasln mountains
have been an incentive toprospectors
to begin the exploration of the other
ranges In this section, and In the
Snowy range, lying south OF Lewis
town. some very encouraging finds
are reported to have rewarded their
efforts. For the past three months
Albert Russie and Alex. Baker have
been working OF a group Of claims
which they located on the head Of
Cottonwood creek about eighteen
miles south from Lewistown, and
they have exposed on the Queen
claim, between lime and slate walls,
a body Of sedimentary ore much sim
ilar to that found in the Judith
range. The ore occursi in n blanket
form and assays varying in value
from 81 to SG3 per ton have been re-
ceived from 1t. The average value OF
the ore is such that the owners are
sanguine that II 1t proves to be a
cyanide ore that 1t can be milled at n
profit. 1t has been known for sew
eral years that mineral existed In the
Snowy range. as much placer lead
has been found by miners In working
the alluvial gold deposits, but the
discoveries of Messrs. Russie and
Baker are the first auriferous ores
found In that section.

II il Fan be established that all graz
ing lands in Montana are fit for agri-
culture, n proposition which many will
not subscribe to. then the leasing sys-
ten is certainly a great injury to the
state and should be abandoned at once.
1t has long been held, whether seien-
tiiically demonstrated or not. that the
settling up of the west, the turning of
the soil and the planting oftrees has in
creased the rainfall. II this should
prove true in Montana there are mil
lions of acres on first and second
benches in Montana that would make
the finest agricultural lands in the
world and should be held sacredly for
that purpose. But it has been the eX-
perience and observation of many Of
our people that while some years would
be favorable for crops, in other years
the venture would prove disastrous.
There is no question but eventually,
when good agricultural lands have all
been taken in other states, the general
government will undertake the restora-
ton Of much of the lands in the arid
region by an extensive irrigation sys-
TEN. But this movement will be slow
owing to the great cost involved. Now,
the question is, ii the state would con
fine its leases to lands that come under
the head of arid, and thereby raise n
fund for our schools and colleges would
1t not be advisable to do so? The Ar
GUS columns are always open to anyone
who has views TO express on n subject
of such great moment to the state.

John Flynn, who has long been
identified with the growth and de-
velopment OF the prosperous camp of
Gilt Edge, has been doing a great
deal Of work on the Boston and Gilt
Top properties in that district this
spring. These claims adjoin the Cloud
claim OF the Central Montana Mines
company on the west and are on the
same contact as that property. On
the Boston a 5O-ioot tunnel has been
driven, which shows ore from the
grass roots, and on the Gilt Top il
another tunnel - feet, the last fifteen
feet of which shows ore over the en-
tire face OF the drift. The ore on these
claims has the same characteristics
ms that seen in the Whisky Gulch
mines and carries values equally as
large. Assays frem the Boston vary
from ST. to so and an average Of the
tunnel will exceed $40 per ton. On
the Gilt Top the hard brown orethat
il found in the Whisky Gulch mines is
present and the values are very en-
c%ouraging. A heavy capping OF lime
lays over the ore in this drift but 1t
is thought this will disappear when
the contact Is reached. Mr.. Flynn
cOntemplates extensive Development
IN these properties and the showings
already in evidence certainly justi-
fies it.
