PRICES OF FOOD.

:. The steady and marked decrease in the prices
of butter, eggs and other essential articles of
food is TO be regarded with peculiar satsfac-
tior at least from the urban consumers point
of view On general principles cheap food
cheap in price not in quality-is blessing. At
the present time il is doubly SO, an antidote
&c the bane OF extortionate prices charged for
meat. For the prices OF meats are still going
up. They are already at pitch which is pro-
hibitive 10 many and which has proved ruinous
TO some retail dealers, and Yet they are still
rising. in such circumstances ii is boon 10
have cheap butter and cream and eggs and
poultry 10 take the place in q measure of the
beef which is no longer TO be had
AS for the prices of meats. there is probably
no room for doubt that they being arti-
fcfally forced up by monopolists in order 10
make increased profits out of the necessities of
tie people That is grave indictment. There
could scarcely be more serious one. Yet it
seems 10 be true not only upon the face OF the
case but after careful consideration and In
yestigation. Granted that natural conditions
have made the production OF beef more costly.
II is impossible to discover that they have done
SO to anything like the degree indicated by the
rise in market prices. II the Beef Trust has
been moved TO raise prices because OF scarcity
of food or any such thing its rule appears to
be TO raise the price two cents for every one
cent of actual increase of cost The belief is
now pretty generally entertained that the
trust" is artifcially and arbitrarily putting up
prices. and is doing so with the intention OF
keeping them up. 1t Will put them up to an
almost prohibitive figure, and then gradually
reduce them. leaving them at a figure consid-
erably higher than they were before the rise
began. Thus it VIII appear 10 have reduced
prices when 1t was able to do so, and Will hope
thus to allay popular clamor, while at the same
time efecting for itself large net gain. II is
also supposed 10 be trying the not unfamiliar

TRANSPORTATION OF INVALIDS.

rather common neglect TO recognize the dill
ferences which exist In the contagiousness OF
various diseases is freshly illustrated by story
which a Denver physician relates in American
Medicine" A patient of the narrator suffering
from tuberculosis wished TO return to his old
home In Norway. He found to his dsmay,
however, that all of the prominent steamship
companies have adopted the policy usually in
dcated on the back of their tickets of refusing
passage TO any one afflicted with that any
other contagious malady. 1t was only by going
to Canada, and by patronizing an obscure line,
that the man was able to cross the Atlantic.
The incident reminds american Medicine" of
the recent refusal of a railway company to
carry n typhoid fever patient in paror car
from Philadelphia to New-York. No doubt
these instances have been frequently paralleled,
and one Is thus led to ask how far such denials
justified.
Precautions like those here described are
taken In the interest of healthy people who
travel by land and sea They are based on the
principle of promoting the greatest good Of the
greatest number, though they may also be
meant to guard the reputation of transporta-
ton line from injury. Few persons realize, per-
haps, how strict the companies are in this re-
gard. Possibly the practice here outlined is not
always observed with uniform vigilance. 1t is
conceivable that less conscientious man than
the Denver doctors patient might evade detec-
ton by preserving Judicious retieence. Still,
decent man never wants to sail under false
colors, and the real question is in regard to
what is the avowed policy Of the steamship
lines and railroads. No one will find fault with
the exclusion Of victims of smallpox, yellow
fever and cholera. Many physicians, though,
look at tuberculosis and typhoid fever In
very different light The germs of the latter
disorder are taken into the system only with
food or drink. Inhalation has nothing to
do with the process. AS for tuberculosis, only
prolonged and intimate association with
sufferer from 1t is likely to imperil any else.
There is a distinct injustice, as well as hard
ship. therefore in adopting the same attitude
toward these two diseases as in regard to the
plague.
In many UP to date young ladies' boarding
schools it is customary to set apart special
room as a hospital to which case OF scarlet
fever or diphtheria may be transferred. A rigid

While public attention has been al

ing on in the many mining properties
in the Judith mountains and there is
but little doubt that in the near future
many properties in that district will
be developed and placed among the
gold producing mines of Fergus
county.
The Gilt Edge mine, which is 10.
Gated about mile from the lively lit.
tie mining camp Of that name, is a
steady producer and has been operat.
ed with more or less success since
'92, and since 1897 has been in con-
tinuous operation. and under the able
management of E. w. King, on be.
half of the Great Northern Mining &
Development Co., has become one of
the largest and best paying cyanide
properties in the state of Montana.
1t is not generally known that in
this noted mine there are $4,000 feet
of workings which have been pro-
nounced to be the best timbered in the
state of Montana by the government
mine inspector. The monthly clean
up at the mill runs from s25,00O to
$34, 1000 and the ore body seems to be
simply inexhaustible. Ore which is
almost perfect for treatment by the
cyanide process has been encountered
from the grass roots to depth Of 375
feet; this latter discovery has been
made on the south side Of Virgin
gulch, where the bulk of the ore
seems to lay. The property consists
of 80 claims and comprises a large
area of the cyanide ground in the Ju-
dith range, in which Dame Nature
has deposited some of her richest
treasures.
The claims from which the princi-
pal bulk of the ore is now being ex.
tracted are the Plattsburg. the orig
inal location, Chicadee, Lookout and
the Standby. Other claims in close
proximity to the workings are the
Standby No. 2, Peerless and the Cuba,
on which development work has prov
en- conclusively the presence Of cy-
anide ore in large quantities. The en-
tire management of the property has
been in the hands of e. w. King for
some years past; N. j. Littlejohn is
mine superintendent, while A. M.
Plum has charge Of the big cyanide
mill. The latter has a daily capacity
of $50 tons and is fitted with COM
plete outfit of Gates rolls and crush
ers, while the tank room contains six
tanks with a capacity of seventy tons
each. The ore is conveyed to the
tanks by means of an overhead cable
car which is an automatic self-dump-
er and easy to handle; the cyanide So
luton used is practically the same as
is used at Kendall, Is one-hun-
dredths of one per cent.
The formation encountered in the
Gilt Edge mine is somewhat different
from that found in the North Mecca
sins; the ore lies in huge pockets In
close conjunction to the lime and
porphyry contact which in most cases
Is very clearly defined. 1t contains
so per cent silica and is easy Of treat
