The Mammoth Stock Of the Power
Mercantile Co. Well Displayed.
The Power Mercantile Co. will this
week finish moving into its new
store building. A part of the goods
of the establishment have been in the
new quarters for the past two weeks,
and the clerks of the grocery depart
ment are now busily engaged In trans
ferring their wares.
The new structure occupied by the
Power Mercantile Company, Is one
of which a city the size of Lewistown
may well be proud, and would be con-
sidered a handsome building in a city
many times as large. Two stories In
height, with a front Of IS feet and q
depth of 80 feet; constructed of the
best dressed sandstone found in the
excellent quarries of this section, it
is indeed a splendid structure.
The interior arrangements are in
the design of the most modern, up
to-date department stores. On the
east side of the building is the gro
Gerry department occupying a space
3OxS4 feet. Here is located a first
class grocery establishment, both for
retail and wholesale trade.
The center space of the big room,
is also 30xS4 feet, and is given over
to the gents furnishings and mems
shoes department. This department
Is in itself a complete clothing store
and in 1t may be found all the aces
series of a well managed establish.
ment of that kind.
The other space on this floor Is the
| same size and is the millinery, dry
| goods and notions department. And
a handsome, tastily arranged depart
ment it is. A splendid chance is Civ
en- for the decorator to display the
goods of this department by reason
of the large amount of space, and the
artist of the Power Co. has not failed
to avail himself of this opportunity
All these departments occupy the
| ground floor.
The whole front of the building or
the lower floor is of glass and steel
The immense display windows have
a depth of six feet, are faced by plate
glass, the largest Of which are 9Ox10C
inches. and are arranged for the mos
artistic effects. Six large arc light,
illuminate this floor, and besides thu
convenience in the management o.
the establishment, every comfort o.

In the rear of the gents furnishing
department are located the spacious

Fergus county witnessed the most
important advancement made in Mon
tana during 1901 for the winning OF
gold. The application OF he cyanide
process to handle the low grade de-
posits of gold ore in the Gilt Edge
district attracted much capital, and
the year was marked by the erection
of new plants extensive development
and a large output of gold emanated
therefrom. This product amounted to
a very considerable figure, the out
put of nearly $4,000 standard ounces
of gold having all been the result Of
the employment and adoption of the
cyanide process to extract the val
ues.
The leading mines employed the
cyanide process in the Gilt Edge dis
trict during the year were the Gilt
Edge, Kendall. Barnes-King group
and Whisky Gulch. At all of these
marked activity was to be noted,
while other claims were brought out
preparatory to opening for produc-
ton.
Mr.. Tatem reports the total depos-
its Of gold and silver at the assay
office at Helena during the year 1901
to be as follows:
Gold, value, $1S7,551.46; silver, val
ue, $114.67; total, $751;, 663.l4.
The following tabulated statement,
however, which includes entire pro-
duction, whether deposited at Helena,
New York, Philadelphia or any assay
office or mint, proves the oft repeat
ed statement that two-thirds of the
gold production Of Fergus county is
sent east direct. and may be accepted
as a fairly accurate statement of the
production of the county. BY this Il
will be seen that Fergus county is
fourth in the list of gold producers
and fifth in the list of producers of
gold and silver, the heavy production
of silver in Granite county giving it
fourth place in the total value of both
gold and silver:

Little change in the value of the
gold produced in 1901 is shown, yet
the enlarged use of cyanide to win
this precious metal from Montana ore
during 1901 merits notice. The prin-
cipal scene of new activity was Fer
gus county. If the future operations
result as now believed, this field will
materially aid in maintaining the out
put of gold in the state, II, indeed. it
does not result in increasing the same
in the future. Had it not been for
what already is accomplished in that
section, the total yield of gold in the
past year would have decreased; the
values from milling and cyanide ore
fortunately overbalancing the decrease
from the smelling ores and placers.

COLONIAL CONGRESS.
Emigration Causes the German Much
 Concern.

Berlin, Oct 1.-The cause of German emigration is the knottiest problem WltA which the colonial congress here is deal ing. While other sections drone along, talking over tropical hygiene or various economic aspects of colonization, the emigration section spent much of it's sit tings yesterday and today in warm dis cussions of the political and social con ditions of Germany that drive forth peo- pie to seek their fortune in other lands.
 Professor Tile, chairman of that sec ton, attributed the emigration solely to economic reasons. emhgrants being nu- merods when times are hard and fewer when Germany is prosperous. The task of the colonial society and the government was to direct emigration to countries where the German would retain both his political and economic tie to the father land He should be induced to go to the German colonies but If he preferred to go elsewhere he should be guided to South America or other countries where civilization was not equal to that of Ger many.
 The emigrant going to the United States or to the British colonies where civilization was equal, Germany's citiz en was lost to Germany because he was i'm mediately absorbed into his adopted coun- try. But in less highly organized and less civilized Latin America, the Germa1 retained his language and for two gen erations continued to import German things.
 Professor Tiles views were subjected to destructive criticism. It was affirmed by Bremen shipping men that half the emigrants passing through that port lett Germany because they wanted treer ] political and social atmosphere and would not go to the German colonies because there thev could not escape compulsory military service nor the vexation of ex- acting civil and T-olice control
 A pastor working among the emigrants
 at Hamburg confirmed this observation,
 saying that next to the possibility of
 making an easier living the Germans
 dreamt of the political and social liberty existing over the sea.

MINERS UNION LEGAL.
Mitchell at Wilkesbarre Replies to Wilcox.


 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 11-President Mitchell arrived at strike headquarters from New York shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. He was immediately taken in hand by interviewers, but he stead fastly declined to talk of his New York trip for publication. In answer to a question why he should maintain such extreme reticence regarding his visit, he said:
 'I think the best interests of the ope- rators, the miners and the public will be subserved by my remaining silent" MT Mitchell's attention was called to the letter of Vice-President Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson Company, to President Roosevelt, in which he main tains that the miners ur51n is an illegal organization. The strike leader hesitated to say anything for a moment, and then replied:
 "The miners union is organized along the same lines as all the labor unions in tae country. If tfe miners organization is illegal, so are all the others; and say our union is not Illegal"
 This is the extent of MT. Mitchell's talk to the press representatives this morning. All efforts to draw him out on any other qu1ktion was a failure. MT. Mitchell had an engagement in Boston tomorrow, but he was compelled to cancel 1t, owing to a pressure of business here. There was a rumor that President Mitchell would go to Washington. but he denied it.
 The leaders of the strikers ara now looking to the American Federation of Labor to help them in their fight. The Federation has a membership of nearly 2,000, ,000 and it's purpose Is to assist or genzed labor generally. The miners union Is the strongest trade in that or ganizatlon, snd they now feel that the Federation should come out and take an open, active interest in the struggle. There Is a report here that this will be done in the form of an appeal for assistance to all the labor organizations in the coun- tJV

Tn Conference with Morgan.

New York, Oct. 11.--After spending sev- eral hours In conference with J. P. Ma gan on the latter's yacht Corsair, which was anchored in the North River, Secrc- tary Root was driven with MT. Morgan to the Union Club where Mir. Morgan entered and the Secretary was driven away.
 It was learned that at this time D. II. Bacon of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and Chairman Thomas of the Erie were at the club. MT. Morgan seem- ed to be waiting to know the result of the talk between MT Bacon and Mr. Thomas.
 Shortly before 6 o'clock John Markle one of the independent coal operators, called at the Union Club and held an animated conversation with MT. Morgan for about five minutes. The nature oi the conversation was not made public
 A late report says that late in the after. noon, after Secretary Root left the Union Club he sent a telegraphic report of his talk with MT. Morgan to President Roose- welt.
 Succeeding the conference at the Union Club, E. M. Thomas called on Senator Platt at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and lat CT went to his home in New Jersey. At o'clock Mir. Morgan was still at the Club and busy opening telegrams which poured in on him.

BIG FREIGHT TERMINAL.
Southern Pacific to Build at Point
 Richmond.

San Francisco. Oct. 1.-The Southern Pacific is to have a big freight terminal at Point Richmond. adjacent to the end of the Santa Fe railroad. and to the ex- tensive plant which the Standard oil people are rapidly completing. Word has been received from New York, says The Examiner, that after conferring with General Manager Kruttschnitt on the project, President Hartman has given 1t his approval. The terminal will be con- nected with the Southern Pacific main line by the construction of branch line from San Pueblo. The new terminal is ten miles by rail from the company's West Oakland freight yards. which have become too small for traffic. A branch system of shops will be erected at the new terminal.
 As near us can be ascertained ships to and from the Orient will load and unload Eastern freight at tho terminal. and through freight from the East to North ern States and the Sacramento valley will be handled here.

Reichstag Meets Tuesday.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-The Reichstag reas- sembles Tuesday for its last session be- fore the general elections of 1903. The tariff excludes all other subjects from practical consideration except the annual finance bills and interpellations of the ministry on the rise in the price of meat and the Polish incidents. There are clear indications that the Agrarian Conserva- tive-Clerical majority Is yielding to the government on the tariff question. Herr Rettich. Chairman of the Committee, sneaking at Mecklenburg, said the high tariff majority had better have something to submit to compromise. which. it is claimed proves the government will make some concessions The clerical newspa- pers support the declaration that com promise will be no easy matter to ar- range but say 1t Is likely to be reached before the Christmas holidays.
