Ruby Gulch Is Rapidly Coming to the
Front-Rich Mining District With
Promising Future.
SMELLING AND CYANIDE ORES
Situated on the Same Contact Zone
as the Mines Of Whisky Gulch,
Gilt Edge and New Year.

Ruby Gulch is situated in an un-
usually picturesque locality on the
eastern side Of the Burnett divide in
the Judith mountains and running in
an easterly direction down to Boyd
creek. The name, Ruby, was bestow-
cd upon II by early p~rospectors who
encountered large numbers of small
red garnets. while panning for gold
at the head of the gulch. which though
Of wonderful luster are almost value
less, owing TO their extremely small
size. Ruby Gulch has been prospect
ed to a considerable extent for the
past ten years, but IL is only during
the last year or two that development
work has demonstrated in a satisfac-
tory manner that the locality Is rich
in mineral wealth and will no doubt
in the near future rank with some Of
the best gold producing districts in
Fergus county, the most richly miner
allied section of Montana, Ora Y
Plata.
The district is one in which cyanide
ore is naturally predominant, though
lead sulphides- containing large values
in gold have been encountered; not.
ably in the property of the Ruby Min
ing. Milling & Dev. Co. The general
geographical formation Of the coun-
try shows strong indications Of the
porphyry intrusions through the in
tervening layers of lime. in places the
porphyry being encountered directly
on the surface. The ores are encoun-
tered on the lime-porphyry contact
and the principal properties are stu.
ated on the same contact zone as the
rich mines OF Whisky Gulch. Gilt Edge
and New Year. The ore deposits
show that they are the result of i'm.
pregnation by an aqueous solution,
highly m~ineralized, at the period OF
the breaking of the lime formations
by the intruding ~porphyry. The coun
try Is easy of access, possesses some
ideal millsites and is only twelve
miles from Lewistown.
The property on which the most
development work has been accom-
plished is owned and operated by the
Ruby Mining. Milling & Development

Combination RumOrS
Between Railroads

CHICAGO, Nov. 21-Rumor that
there is deal pending between the
Santa Fe and the rock Island regard
ing the joint use of certain tracks in
New Mexico was confirmed yesterday
by an official of one of the roads. He
stated, however, that nothing definite
had come out of the negotiations and
that possibly nothing of a definite
character would result. Should an
agreement be reached, however, the re-
suit is likely to give the Rock Island
a Pacific Coast outlet by the way OF
the new line building northwest from
Tucumcari TO Colorado. where con-
nection would be made with the Santa
Fe. On the other hand. the Santa Fe
would get valuable concessions which
would shorten some of its lines into
the southwest. On both sides the pro-
posed agreement would abrogate the
necessity of building several lines ae-
cording to present plans.

REPUBLICAN, LEADERS, TO IGNORE
R0OSEvELT'S RECOMMENDATIONS

number of 178 Democrats in the Fifty
eighth congress and a detection of
only fifteen Republicans would bring
the Republican leaders to terms.
Among the reasons which have act
uated the President to get action on
the trusts and the tariff are:
First-His knowledge of the exist
ence OF such combinations as the beef
trust, the great Northern Pacific
T'erger anu tie coal trust.
Second-He favors reciprocity with
Cuba, and this can easily be accom-
plished without friction if tariff
schedules are rearranged.
Third-In the West, where he ex-
poets to find his great support for his
nomination in 1904 there is a consid-
erable demand for tariff reform.
Fourth-The enlargement of the
free list, or the reduction of duties on
articles entering into competition
with the products of the trusts sug-
gests to hin. a powerful remedy for
some of the evils for which the party
is now blamed
Fifty-The sentiment of the coun-
try is rapidly crystalizing in favor of
tariff reform and the dissolution OF
the trusts.

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. 21.-In-
dications, of an eatra session of the
newly elecued Congress have rather an
affirmative aspect. The report from
the conference at Milwaukee of the
met to discuss the condidacy for
speaker of Mr. Babcock has not been
exactly confirmed, but there is no
doubt that on the occasion of the con-
ference Mr. Babcock gave his col
leagues assurance that an extra ses-
sion was to be expected.
His denial that he gave a straight
statement that there would be an ex-
ira session he has qualified by saying
he did not speak with! the authority of
the President. Nevertheless it is be-
lievtd that while the calling Of an ex-
ira session has not been determined as
to date, if at all, it is certain as has
been frequently stated, that the sub
ject has been seriously discussed by
the Republican leaders, and that it
has been under consideration ever
SINCE the Oyster Bay conference last
summer, at which there were widely
noted as present Senators Aldrich.
Spooner, Lodge. Platt of Connecticut,
Hanna and Allison No official indi-
cation of the extra session stp was
given out from that conference, but it
was said to have been debated there
and it's final determination LIFT to the
developments of the campaign then IN
progress.
Events appear unmistakably to favor
the probability Of an extra session.
The sentiment for tariff revision un-
reniably made itself manifest in the
course of the campaign; it was in
Republican platforms, district and
State and Republican speakers gave
assurance of their support of revision
and reduction. These facts, being
duly recognized. the Republican party
sooner or later must settle the issue
within it's own ranks. 1t would be
bad politics to postpone the task until
the regular session of 1903-1904. the
year of the Presidential campaign. It
is too hig and serious an undertaking
to handle at the short session of the
present Congress. therefore it is alto
gether probable that an attempt will
be made to dispose of the subject as
soon as possible, and as long as pos
sible before the campaign of 1904.
Meantime the tariff commission idea
will be assuming such shape that the
country will possibly derive some as
surance that the subject will be taken
out of politics. This apears to be the
present aspect of the case.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 21.-Relatives
in Lincoln have just received particu-
lars of the shocking death in Portland,
Oregon, of John Gilbert, a prominent
stockman Of that city, who formerly
lived in Lincoln. The man was liter
ally eaten alive by infuriated hogs.
Gilbert had gone to the pens to feed
a drove Of hogs that he was fattening
for market, and found two of them
engaged in fierce fight. He picked
up club and endeavored to separate
the brutes, when one of them turned
upon him. Plunging it's long tusks
into his leg. it tore out a great chunk
of flesh. Weakened by loss of blood
and suffering excrusiating pain, Gill
bert tried to escape from the brute,
but in vain. He contrived to reach
the fence and to get part way over it
when, becoming tooweak to go far
Their, he fell back into the pen.
The whole drove of hogs then set
upon him and ate him alive. When
his body was discovered later it was
mutilated beyond recognition. Mr.
Gilbert, leaves one son in Portland.
