A few years ago cattlemen in Montana
never gave the coast markets a thought
Today more beef from the ranges of this
other coast shops than in any other mar
ket in the country. The tide of trade is
setting strongly toward the West to the
great benefit of Montana markets. The
pronounced falling off in shipments of
Montana beef to Eastern markets is not
that choice shipments are seeking mar
ket at coast points. The change in the
tendency of cattle shipments is marked
and permanent and entirely satisfactory.

The business men and Amalgamated
stockholders of Butte breathed a sigh
Of relief yesterday when they read in
the Inter Mountains helena dispatches
the news of Judge Knowles decision
Hberating the dividends Of the Boston
& Montana company and turning over
to the Amalgamated company such pro-
portion thereof as the latter has Boston
& Montana stock to show for. Without
reference to the legal aspects Of the
discuss, it may be said that the with
holding of the Boston & Montana diyi-
dends under injunction was a severe
though temporary loss to the mining and

the cause was the failure Of the mines

country have judges succumoed 10
temptation. One reason for that is the
extreme care the people generally use IN
the selection of candidates for the bench;
another reason is the utter impossibility
in ninety nine cases out of hundred Tor
any corrupted judge to violate his con-
scientious beliefs or the plain dictates
of justice without public detection.
Except in the most complex cases, no
judge. high or low ever made ruling
contrary to the principles OF justice
without arousing immediate suspicion in
the public mind as to his mental or
moral decay. The people can not be de-
ceived as to the character of their SER
wants, and condemnation and contempt
both swift and sure always overtake a
public official the moment he steps aside
from the path of duty and soils his
hands with a bride for violating his oath
and betraying his constituents.
In the Arizona case, the judge should
be considered innocent until proved
guilty. but the fact that he has not
challenged his accusers to the proof and
had them arrested With view OF COM
polling them to disclose what they know
against him, and the fact also that he
has not demanded investigation, appear
ing as the plaintiff instead of the defend
ant in the action-these considerations
do not tend to create an impression in
the judges favor. 1t is almost the first
case of the kind that has occurred in the
Southwest for many years. 1t is one OF
the results of carpet-bag government.
and the sooner, therefore, Arizona shall
be admitted to statehood and it's judges
are elected by the people. the better for
the cause of justice in the southwest
corner of the republic.
The dispatches do not give particulars
as to the alleged bribery of the judge.
Whether he took the money for mis-
reading some cattle brands, or giving
wealthy criminal his freedom, or over
looking a few end lines and side lines
or moving the apex of a mine onto an
other mans claim is not disclosed.

The Butte Business Mems association
last night made an energetic start
toward raising the money needed for the
mining congress next year.
1t is evident from the size Of some Of
the subscriptions that $4,000 will not
be raised, but this fact need not discour-
age the friends Of the project. There is
no need of raising $4,000.
Enough was subscribed last night to
indicate the total of the business men s
donations will reach $4,000.
The mining companies are yet to be
heard from. What they will do in de-
Tense Of the good name of Butte for
enterprise and hospitality is not yet
known, but a report has reached the
Inter Mountain that the Amalgamated
company will subscribe not less than
$1,000 to the good cause. That will be
a very handsome exhibition of public
spirit and entitle the company to the
thanks of the community. Other COM
panies doubtless will come to the front
also in a liberal spirit.
The success of the mining congress is
assured,

ZINC SMtlTER CONSOLIDATION.

From ST. Louis, Missouri, comes the
smelling concerns operating in that re-
gion. The consolidation will result in
reduction Of the cost of producing
zinc and better enable the American
concern to meet foreign competition in
any market. The account of the organi-
cation and it's probable effect upon the
market and the profits of the zinc
smelling industry as given out in East
ern financial centers, is as follows:
Details of the plan to consolidate the
large zinc smelling companies in this
section have just leaked out. Options
have been secured on all the plants mem
toned. and E. Rollins Morse & Bro,
of 6 Wall street, New York, are anlaay-
oring to conclude the details of the con.
solidation.

With the acquisition Of the properties

through efficient management and nu-
merous economies the profits of the cor
poration will be largely increased beyond
the combined profits Of the individual
plant, and with the present capacity and
present market and consumption it is ex-
pected that the profits of the Zinc
Smelling corporation, from the produce
ton of the spelter, zinc and sulphuric
acid, will be close to 100000 annually.
The present production of spelter in
America, the prospectus states, is about
100000 tons per year, most of which has
been consumed at home. over 60 per cent
being consumed by the steel and wire
industries. Heretofore, it says, the ex-
ports have gradually increased, but dur
ing the present year the home consump-
ton has been practically equal to the
production. The European production is
given as about 100000 tons annually. and
the consumption as fully AGO. 900 tons. The
cost of production in Europe is placed at
over $40 per ton more than in America,
and the consumption per capita is more
than % per cent greater.
