WHAT SENATOR
CARTER SAYS
MONTANA WILL NOT GO INTO
THE CONFISCATION BUSI-
NESS.
STATE HAS STRONG j
ANTITRUST LAWS,
Mining Litigation Cannot Be Settled
Except by a Sale or Con-
solidation.

Senator Thomas II. Carter, of Nom
tana. was recently interviewed, while in
the east, on the Montana copper sitta4
ton and said: S. ,
Il know nothing of any negotiations
concerning a settlement of the Montana
copper situation. and l rather think
matters will be allowed to go on for
some time about as they are. Mr.
Rogers is pretty good fighter and has
been at it for forty years, and i think
will continue to fight for some time
longer.
An eight hour miners day is bound
to come by legal enactment in Mon
tana, and l believe that the company
store system will also be abolished. but
nobody cares much about the store.
Il do not believe, however. that Mon
tana is going to break away from the
other states of the Union and go into
the contiscation business. 1t is true
that Montana has a very strong anti
trust constitution, and it also has the
strongest antitrust statute that it is
possible to frame. The declaration in
this statute may be interpreted into con-
hscation of property, nevertheless l do
not believe that the people of Montana
desire to go into that kind of business.

of mines in Butte without violation of
sound law. and if two mines can COM
bine twenty mines can. Nevertheless.
l do not think there is anything at
present in the Montana situation, either
in the line of confiscation or consolida-
ton.
'Of course this mining litigation in
Butte cannot be settled except by a con-
solidation, or somebody selling out, and
when it comes to a question of sale Mr..
Helnze must be the seller as I don't see
where he can get the money to become
the buyer The litigation that has been
started the past few years could not be
settled through the courts in ten years.
and possibly not in the life time of any
of the litigants.
GAS to whether MI Heinze is at lib
erty to sell out or not. in view of the
result of the last election, l can only say
that l don't think Senator Carter or
Senator Clark or Senator Heinze are alb
solutely necessary for the good of the,
state or the nation. I used to think in.
Washington that when Tom Reed made,
new ruling, the business Of the world
must stop, but bless my soul. the world
kent right along in about the same old
way, and the man ten blocks from the
capitol failed to hear anything about
Car Reed or his ruling. We are all apt
to be swollen bit, when focused in the
public eye.

floor of the Boston Stock Exchange the
day following the Montana election that

feat of Judge Clancy, am willing to say
most emphatcally that l never sent such

RAILROAD NOTES.

1t is stated that negotat tons have been
completed, between Messrs. Cox, Palate,
Mckenzie and other representatives of a
Toronto, Canada, syndicate, whereby the
Great Northern comes into possession of
the Crows Nest Pass bituminous coal
lands in British Columbia, short dis
lance north of the boundary line. They
are located in the Rocky mountain
range.
The price paid for these coal lands is
not ascertainable, but it is understood
that Mr. Hills figure was limited to
100000.
A railroad man familiar with these coal
mines said that their value cannot be
estimated, though tests have shown that
many million dollars worth of coal are
in sight. An added value, he says, is
given this coal by reason of the fact
that iron ore Of a superior quality is
found on the American side of the bound
AIRY only short distance away. Mr.. Hill
is reported to have recently purchased
large tracts of iron ore land. and if it is
true as reported that he will become in
Lterested in the establishment of iron
mills, the acquisition of the coal mines
will become valuable and necessary
purchase.
1t is said, that this coal is peculiarly
adapted for use in locomotives, and for
this purpose it will become doubly valua-
