In the campaign being conducted by
the police of Great Falls against pro-
family on the streets, the officers are
receiving the support of the press in
their crusade against this outrag. on
decency, which is all too common in
the publicity of all western cities, For
syth being no exception. Every re-
spectacle man will endorse the senti-
ments of the Great Falls Tribune COM
menting On the disgraceful habit as
follows;
At best profanity is a useless. vul-
gar and debasing habit. But particu-
larly is treprehensible and disgusting
in public, where it meets the ears of
women and children.
Men in the west are altogether too
much given to the habit, and wany of
them commit the offense without inten-
ton of harm. and without realizing the
extent to which they do swear. But
that does not excuse, though perhaps
it may palliate.
But profanity where it will not Of
fend is not to be compared with the
vulgar oath shouted in the street or
spoken in the presence of those whom
all men know Will be Inundated and
insulted by the words. 1t is lowering
is owardly and indecent in the latter.
The police should keep up the good
work until the man who is vile enough
shall be afraid to do so.

WHEN the republicans tell you in their
platforms or on the stump that they ia
vor this. that or the other law if they
are reelected tell them they lie and
and they know they lie. And to prove
it, show them they have had for six
years the president, the senate, and
the house, and could have enacted any
law the people demanded and their
national platforms proclaimed. They
do not want any Legislation that will
benefit the people. All they want is
the votes of the dupes so they can con-
tinue to skin the public. The republi-
can party has passed in the last six
years every law the trusts, the monop-
olists. and protected interests have de-
sired. 1t has never passed single
act that made it easier for the working
man to make living. But its legis-
lation has resulted in enabling the
special few to tax the clothes off his
back, deny his wife and children the
necessary food for their proper susten-
ance, and put beyond the reach of any
wage Garner the possibility Of an edu-
cation for his posterity.

ON A LARGE SCALE.
England Group Will Be Operated. Plenty
of Capital.

Operations on the England group of
claims which are located near the Stanley
will be started at once.

was in the city this week making all the
necessary arrangements. 1t it the inten-
ton to continue drifting on the Cor bett
vein until an additional 100 feet is made
This property is in section that has
wonderful production record and there
is little doubt but what it will prove a
good payer in a very short time with
proper development work.
The company is capitalized at $Ioo, 1000
aud rs, 600 shares have been disposed at
so cents per share. In addition to this
10000 were sold at par.
Thus it can be seen that there is plenty
of capital back of the enterprise to insure
it's success.
Work is to begin within the next thirty
days, and it is probable that large force
will be employed.

Pittsburg Company.

The Dover mine which is owned by the
Pittsburg company has completed ar
rangements whereby the work on the
property will be conducted on a much
larger scale. A new air compressor will
be installed at once and drifting and
sinking will be continued.
In this property there is ten feet of
good concentrating ore which was opened
up at depth of 200 feet.
The Brighton which is operated by the
same company now has new hoisting
plant and sinking will be commenced
w. L. Shaffer has been appointed man,
ager of the property.
1t is quite probable that the company
will, in the near future, erect a mill oi
its own, but at the present time the ore

STRIKE IN THE ALPINE.
Eighteen Inch Streak Opened Which Gives
Good Returns.

The Consolidated Alpine still continues
to open up good bodies Of ore, and as a
result all the parties interested in the
property are highly pleased,
This week manager Crow opened up an
eighteen inch streak of ore in the bottom
of the shaft which gives assay returns of
S38.74 to the ton. The rock is very hard
and with the aid of drills and two shifts
working only three feet a day has been
made.
The uprase which is being made from
the second level west is about completed.
AS soon as this work is all completed, it
Is the intention of the management to at
once begin sending ore to the mills and
smelters for treatment.
At the present time there is large
amount of good pay ore on the dump,
which is being sorted ard gotten ready
for shipment A delay was caused for
the reason that it was deemed best to make
few improvements on the property
Everything is now in shape and in a
short time the indications are that the
Consolidated Alpine will be doing bust
ness on an extensive scale.
The greatest trouble that has been ex-
perienced was in securing sufficient water
to run the boilers. However, the shaft
is making more water at the present time
than formerly and from now on it is not
thought that any delay will be caused on
this account.
The Alpine is rapidly forging to the
front as one of the best propositions il
the district. The men behind it are good
citizens and highly respected in the vari
Gus communities in which they live. anc
the proposition stands high with the in
vesting public.

Looks Like a Payer.

The Cashier Gold Mining and Reduc-
tion company, which is operating the
Golden Wedge or Meeker group in Rus
sell gulch, is taking out some fine ore.
Shipments are being made every week
and the returns give net values of from
sI2o to $40 per ton for the first class and
an average of SIS per ton for the second
class.
Development work on the Meeker is
being prosecuted by driving a cross cut
from the 800 foot level west from the
shaft. The vein extends the entire dis
tance and is from three to four feet in
width. The indications are that it will
develop into the rich stuff and if the ex-
pectations of the company are realized,
the management of the company will al
once install large plant of machinery tc
cost in the neighborhood of $780, 900.

A STRONG
MINING
COMPANY
Federal Mines Corporation Incorporated to
Operate in Gold Dirt District.

Operate in Gold Dirt District.
Articles of Incorporation were filed
with the secretary of state this week for
the Federal Mines Corporation to oper-
ate in the Gold Dirt district, in this
county The fact that so many local
people are connected with it give it a good
standing at once so far as its home pros
poets are concerned. The capitalization
of the company has been placed at $780,
900 which is a guarantee to the investor
that apitalization-the most cor
rupt of the practices in mining, so far as
the investor is concerned-will be avoided.
Thomas G. Mallalieu, connected with
the war department at Washington, is
president of the company, John T. Nal
lalieu, well known as a mining man in
this district is vice president; Fred G.
Shaffer, secretary; o. w. Lowell, of the
Lowell Hardware company, treasurer,
and H. A. Moore, the well known min
ing engineer, manager and consulting
engineer.
The property of the company consists
of six claims and tunnel site with the
tunnel already driven on giant low
grade vein for a distance of I4o feet. 1t
is known as the Iron Crown Group and
has been known to mining men for
several years. The fact that it adjoins
the Lexington mine, or that it is within
500 feet of the endlines of this famous old
producer speaks well for its future. Be-
sides this it is the general opinion of
mining men that the Lexington, Little
Richard Coming Nation and several
other rich leads cross the Federal group.
"The capitalization of the company is
something of an innovation" remarked
Secretary Shaffer to a Siftings represent
alive this week. "While the number of
shares for sale in the treasury is 90, 900,
yet we do not anticipate that it will be
necessary to sell to exceed 10, 900 shares.
The property will practically develop it,
self now and all we need is to sell a few
thousand shares to put the needed i'm
provements on the property"
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-11-01
Local Man Highly Complimented.

Richard Pearce, who has been employ
ed in the Trathen furniture establishment
for several years, is now receiving honors
rarely ever enjoyed by artesans in such a
small city. Mr.. Pearce is an adept in the
line of framing pictures so that their best
qualities are brought out. His work has
attracted the attention of railroad men in
Denver and he is now doing work in this
line for some of the largest of railroad
photographs. His latest order was for a
monster frame for drawing of the fam
GUS "loop" and it will be piece of work
well worth seeing when he gets through
with it.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-11-01
To Resume Operations.

1t is stated on good authority that the
Gold Investment company will in the
near future resume work on the West
Calhoun in Leavenworth gulch. The
ore in this property always carries high
values and as the shaft is only down 200
feet, it is thought that more depth will
make it good property. The adjoining
properties which have put down twice
this depth have proven good payers.
This property is owned by Adlai E.
Stevenson and other well known and
prominent capitalists.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-11-01
Empire Tunnel.

The Empire tunnel is one of the big
gest propositions in the entire county,
and that it has done more than any other
thing to bring Covode mountain promi-
nently before the mining world cannot
be questioned.
The tunnel is now in over 1900 feet
and the bore is being pushed as fast as
possible. The tunnel has reached CO.
vode mountain and this insures more
rapid progress on its journey for the
Gold Dirt mine on Silver mountain.
One of the largest Slopes in the county
is to be found in the tunnel and through
out the entire distance of the tunnel the
rock is highly mineralized.
The company is shipping high grade
ore and each week handsome returns are
received. Milling ore from the Harrison
and Paymaster 1odes sent to the mills for
treatment returned good paying concen-
trates.
At the present time the management
CT the company is considering the advis
ability of erecting a reduction plant al
the mine.
