Special Meeting Monday Niqht.

The council met in another special
meeting Friday night and held forth
until after 10 o'clock.
Frank Scovel appeared before the
council and stated that a mistake had
been made in drawing up the sprink-
ling contract. The contract was then
amended by interlineation Sc that it
was satisfactory to the bidder.
Alderman Symmes was elected as
president of the council for the ensu-
ing year.
The city has eve yet secured from
r. G.. Jackson a deed to the reser
voir site and a right of way up to the
reservoir. In order to get the mat.
ter cleared up the city attorney was
instructed to draw up a deed convey
ing the site to the city and to try
to get Mr.. Jackson to sign the same.
The city marshal was instructed to
have the granary belonging to Peter
Shields removed from First avenue.
The feature" of the special meet.
ing was the sale by auction OF the
privilege of advertising on the city
sprinkler. The mayor appointed City
Clerk Pfaus to act as a~uctioneer. He
did the job in a manner to lead those
present to believe that a irst-class
au~ctioneer was spoiled when Mr.. Pfaus
entered the mercantile business.
There were three bidders but the
privilege was finally knocked down to
Manager Symmes of the Power Mer-
camille company for s1O0.25.

Mininu Outlook in Fergus.

The report from the U. S. assay Of
fee in Helena, found in another place
in these columns, shows a most en-
couraging increase of gold produc-
ton from Fergus county during the
month of April. 1904, over April of
last year. Fergus county is now pro-
ducing over one.half Of the gold sent
in to the assay office from the state.
Other counties have made substan-
tial increases in their output but Fer
gus easily holds the supremacy as
the banner county. SILL 900 is a
large sun to take from the ground in
one month and from present indica-
tons this amount will be increased

wunderIin Interested Near Helena.

In an article concerning the mining
outlook around Helena the Record OF
Friday contains the following item:
Another thing that will serve to in
crease confidence in gold mining in
the vicinity of Helena is the fact that
Joseph Wunderlin, one of the owners
of the Barnes-King group in Fergus
county. is interested in a property
now being developed a few miles
from Helena. Mr.. Wunderlin was one
OF the first miners in Montana. lie
began his mining career in the placer
diggings in Grizzly gulch, three miles
south of Helena. in the old town of
Dry Gas, in 1865. Mr.. Wunderlin has
been very successful in his mining ca
reer and is now a large owner in one
of the great gold mines Of the world,
the Barnes-King cyanide group OF the
Moccasin mountains. He has been a
resident of Fergus county for many
years, but still regards Helena as his
home, and that he has faith in the
mining veal surrounding the city
is attested by the fact that he does
not hesitate to put his money in for
development work.

FRANCHISE TAX LAW.
The Tax Can Not Be Collected For This
Year and an Estimated Revenue Of
$50, VIII Not be Received.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia. AIarci? i2.-Attornev
General Gunter has rendered an
opinion on the franchise tax law.
and the tax cannot be collected this
year. This practically means that
All estimated revenue of $4,000
will not be received BY the state this
YEAR because the law does not go
into effect until March 20. and the
returns were required to be made
during the month OF February.
After reciting the statement OF
the Comptroller General and the
provisions of the Act. the Attorney
General says:
1t is evident that the basis for
imposing the license fees under this
Act is the annual report OF the
comptroller general during the
month OF February. The Act was
approved on February 29. and III
the absence OF any provision fixing
the date for it to take effect '1nder
the law it does not become opera
tive until twenty days thereafter.
Hence as the Act does not be-
come effective until after the month
Of February. and as the reports are
limited 10 that month. the Act. so
far as the features under discussion
are concerned. is ineffective until
next year.

Plans Practically Completed For
Caring For the Visiting Mill
tary at the Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, April 10.-Plans for the
model camp for the companies of visit
ing militia to the Worlds fair have
been practically completed by Lieut.. G.
s. Haight of the Fourth United States
cavalry, who has just entered upon his
new duties as military secretary to
Col. Culp, head of the ceremonies COM
mittee. These plans are a departure
from those originally made, which pro-
vided quarters for the troops in the
barracks to be erected on the site just
west of the Woman's building and be-
tween this and the stadium and Phys.
icai Culture building.
According to the present plans, only
four barracks will be erected, the out
of-door camp taking the place Of those
it had been the original intention to
build. The barracks will have &C.
commodations for 800 men each, and
the camp will accommodate from be-
etween 1000 and 1900 men. The model
camp will be patterned after that of
West Point, including proper tent ar
rangement, model sanitary conditions,
with the additional setting of cinder
walks and grass plots to beautify the
camp.
Over 10000 uniformed soldiers, it is
estimated, will be entertained at the
camp during the exposition period.
