Mining In Montana.

A feature of the Inter Mountains min .
ing news today is a long extract from
the report of Labor Commissioner CAL
derhead, relating to the mineral wealth
of the state.
The statistics are not only important,
but of exceeding interest, both in Mon
tana and elsewhere.
To eastern capitalists looking for op-
portunities for investment, the repor.
will prove Of immense value, particu-
larly if studied in connection with SINH
lar reports from the other mining states.
There is no place like Montana to the
man looking for a mine or an oppor-
tunity to sell OR buy one.
Under wise laws administered in a
spirit of justice and equality, the growth
OF Montana will be such as to surprise
the ratives as Wei as the immigrants.

She may have done some things which
We're deserving Of credit but the most
of her life has been spent in debaunch-
cry OF various sorts and, although the
chances were given her many times to
reform she preferred to live the life she
followed.
Mrs. Josephine Brake IS the latest
philanthropist who has taken up the
cause of Calamity Jane. and a day or
two ago Calamity departed with Mrs.
Brake for New York. where the latter
Vm furnish her with a home. Inciden-
tally Mrs. Brake intends to write q
book with Calamity as the heroine. SO
that her philanthropic motives are not
entirely disinterested. AS to whether
or not Mrs. Brake will be able to re.
form Calamity is questionable. AS has
been said. many efforts have been made
to this end. but it would seem as IL this
woman was entirely depraved, and there
are many others who are more deserving
of sympathy and assistance. women who
have tried to RISE. women who are will

Jane had with her in Castle, whom she
threw out of doors at the tender age
of Il years and who today is lame and
will remain lame all his life on account
of her cruelty and the cruelty of her
debauched associates. This young man
was sent to the reform school and was
kept there for some years, being par
oiled on account of gold conduct. When
he was released from the reform school
he was a new boy. but none of the
credit can be charged to his mother.
1t may be that today he is leading a
good life and that he perhaps has pros
pered to a certain degree, for he was
always a boy willing to work. but the
fact remains that he is crippled and
crippled for life, and certainly if these
New York philanthropists want to do
some good to the world they might bet
ter hunt up this son of Calamity Jane
and do something for him. at the same
time they are using the mother and
her supposed history for purposes OF
revenue. - Great Falls Leader.

Still SCOldln9.

The unmistakable reputation of Bryan
by the Ohio democratic convention does
not seem to have dampened the ardor
with which he sustains the role of the
Worlds Champion Scold. He comes
back" at the Ohio democracy with the
unsolicited announcement that the con-
vention blundered in making him an
issue, and should simply have Endorsed
the Kansas City platform and adj
journed. That. however, is exactly what
the convention did not propose to do.
It's fell purpose was to dispose of Mr..
Bryan as we'll as the platform on which
he was nominated so it stamped on his
portrait and declined to approve his
declaration of principles. Such action
simply meant that it would take time
for the selection of principles, but needed
none for it's consideration of Bryan.
The Bryan democrats, however do not
intend to give up the ghost. They pro-
pose an independent organization, just
as a minority faction of the Montana
! democracy did a year ago on discover
| ing the party machinery in the hands
of the arrogant tools of the money
power. The division thus threatened
| among the Buckeye democrats may
| mean defeat for the party, but defeat
| with Bryan is better than victory with
McLean-that is the sentiment of the
democrats whose headquarters are at
Lincoln, Neb.

About Trusts.

Some wise man recently defined trusts
as of two kinds, one being in restraint
of trade. productive of monopoly, with
out advantage to the public and intended
to cut wages and prevent competition;
the other being a necessity. based on
business demands. justified by threat
ened foreign competition and intended to
encourage home production, home enter
prise and American wages. The dis
tinction is plain enough. but there are
some newspapers that haven't the brains
to understand it or the decency to admit
such understanding.
For instance. the cottonbale trust, OF
which Senator Jones of Arkansas is
chief promoter. may be a cruel monop-
oily. since only the rich cotton planters
may be able to afford such con-
trivance; but the cottonseed oil trust,
which gives fair price for cottonseed.
manufactures it at great expense into
useful articles of merchandise, and finds
q market for them all over the world,
which otherwise would never be reached
that would be trust of different
kind, and it's suppression would only
entail loss to those least able to afford it.
Montana is not without it's interests
in trusts. There is one doing business
near Helena-the lead trust. It MAIN
tains the price of lead at cents. At
that figure any prospector in the hills
Of either Montana or Idaho can make
good money and pay good wages if he
have A mine near enough to the rail-
roads. The mines of the Coer d'Alen..

The Fair Question,

The question whether or not a county,
fair shall be held in this city in the near
future has been agitated more or less
during the last month or two. Great
Falls has just enjoyed a street fair
which was success in every way, anu
now Butte is holding one which prom
ises to excel even the Great Falls fafi.
However, in both Great Falls and Butte,
the idea has been principally to adver>
tise the city and the goods, wares aud
merchandise of the merchants of those
cities. In BoZeman, while merchants
advertisements would form no small
part Of the fair, vet it is the whole valley
which needs made public it's many all
vantages, richness and beauties. If a
fair is held in Bozeman, whether 4
county fair or street fair, it should be
a Gallatin county fair, at which may be
seen displays of everything grown within
it's borders, where every merchant in the
valley has his booth, every farmer a cor
ner, and every man, woman and child a
hand In the affair. Above ALL however
there should not be too many members
on the working committee, as it Is an
unfailing rule that too many cooks spoil
the broth.
On another page in this paper will be
IOuNu a nOtlCe OF meeting TOT the puf-
pose of organizing a gentleman's driving
club. The promoters of the scheme wish
it strictly understood that any person ir
the county who is lover of horses ans
wishes to see some trotting and running
races, is asked to become a member. Ir
order for this club to be success every
| horse owner in the valley should do al
| he can to aid it by becoming a member
| and Offering suggestions. If this cluf
gets good start in lift 1t is proba bls
| it will be the nucleus to the county fair
and the county fair will, if it is wei
managed, be an advertisement Of Gala
tin county. 1t is true this valley l.

method must be adopted to demonstrate
in a practical way that they exist II
truth and in fact. In these progressive
times it does not do to hide the ligh
under a bushel. because the light is YER,
apt to be extinguished. In other words
in order to create demand for on
lands and their products we must shov
them to the public like merchant doe

THE CONDITIONS IN ALASKA
Plenty of Food For Those Who Are
in That Far Off
Country.

George w. Trimble travelling for AN
eastern drug company is at the Finlen.
after long tour of British Columbia
and Alaska. He has an interesting
story of conditions all through the north,
the land of promise to all who go, the
land of desolation to so large a pro-
portion of those who follow it's glittering
gold Stag to it's home within the Actic
circle.
There is no more danger of starva-
ton in the north at least for several
years to come" said Mr.. Trimple.
There are enough provisions stacked up
on the beach at Skagway. Nome and one
or two other coast towns to feed 200 600
people for at least five years. The ships
that have gone into the Alaskan trade
have oaded to the guards with every
thing that could possibly sell, and the
merchants are overstocked to an alarm
ing degree. There is not a cent in trade
at any of the towns easy of access from
the coast. Prices are as low, or even
lower in many cases, than they are at
home. 1t is a case of sell as much as
they can rather than have it all rot.
UNLESS some great new finds are
made, it looks as if the whole country is
going to fall fiat. At present, the tall
ings from the first rich operations that
startled the world are being worked
over. and yield great returns. But they
will not last, and it seems as il the sup
ply of virgin gold is very small The
finding of new fields is an imperative ne
cessity to the country's continued pros
perity.
Dawson, the great. struggling village
that has been the Mecca of the golt
hunter for three years past, is stagnan,
as a prairie duck pond, though of course
there is muck gold being produced thers
