An Indian Horse Farm.

According to the Washington corrc-
spondent of the Butte Miner, a bill
has been introduced in by
Senator Dixon to incorporate a COM
pany for the breeding of horses on the
Crow Indian reservation. This plan
has the approval of the Indian bureau
and the war department. President
Roosevelt contemplates aiding the
Crow Indians by having them set aside
$50, 600 acres of their reservation for u
horse breeding farm and permitting
them to use tribal funds derived from
the sale of ceded lands for the pur-
chase of graded horses.
The Indians engaging in the pro-
posed business are to be organized
into a stock company with the Indian
agent as president and the superiu.
tendent to be appointed by the com.
missioner of Indian aft airs. 1t is ex.
pected that the Indians will raise a
grade of horses suitable for army use.

SETTLERS URGE ACTION,
Resolutions Adopted at Meeting Of
Milk River Valley Residents.

1t is hoped there will be better pro.
gress on the Milk river project, as a
result of the action taken by the an
nual meeting of the Milk River United
Irrigation association held at Havre
pursuant to the call of President L.
Neuman. The resolutions that were
adopted and addressed to the federal
authorities make q strong appeal for
more rapid and satisfactory work on
the undertaking, the situation being
described in q statement that shows
the hardship resulting to settlers from
the prolonged delay.
Among the communications placed
before the meeting was one from Sen.
ator Carter, which stated that work
upon the lower Milk river canals de.
ponds largely upon the outcome Of the
Winters case, which is now pending
in the United States supreme court.
A letter received from Congressman
Pray was in part to this effect:
"As OOH as I reached Washington
I at once turned my atteation to the
Milk river project, called at the state
department and made inquiries re-
garding the present status of negotia-
lions with Canada and urged upon
them all possible expedition in the
settlement of this controversy. All
the facts used as a basis for this
treaty were compiled by the secretary
of the interior and the officials of the
reclaim alton service and presented to
the secretary of state. A treaty was
prepared by our side in conformity
with these facts, a copy of which was
furnished the British embass ador
here. and another copy forwarded to
the American ambassador in London.
No doubt we will hear something of
the decision very soon.
"There will be a meeting of all the
officials connected with this depart
ment about the middle of the winter,
when official announcement of the
program will be made. l have urged
upon the officials that all necessary
preliminary arrangements be made at
an early date, so that work can be
commenced early in the spring"
The next meeting was decided for
Chinook, subject to the call Of the
officers of the association.
The present officers were reelected
for another year by reclamation.
Copies of the resolutions were or
dered sent to the president and mem.
bers of congress.

bureau OF mines and mining, says the
Kansas City Journal. There has been
for years an effort to secure greater
recognition for the mining industry of
the country, and there has been agita-
ton ever for the creation of a depart
ment, with a secretary who would be
a member of the presidents cabinet.
Last year the total output of the coun.
try's mines was valued at almost two
billion dollars, the exact figures being
given as 81, 902, 5l7, 565, or S27S, 5S5, s45
more than for the preceding year. An
industry which furnishes such figures
for the statisticians is certainly worth
the highest consideration.
The assistance given the farming
interests by the department of agri-
culture has added billions of dollar
to the wealth Of the country and has
set a pace that will be very hard to
follow in other lines of production.
It is confidently and very reasonably
argued by the friends of the mining
industry that the same sort of coop.
Grafton, investigation and active as
sistance would give an immense i'm
petus to the mining industry, which is
admittedly only in its infancy.

SPOKANE, Dec. l0.-A movement to
prevent the extinction of the Ameri-
can eagle has been started by Del
Cray Smith, twice grand worthy presi.
dent of the Fraternal Order of Eagles,
which numbers about 300, 900 members.
Mr.. Smith has issued an address to

involves the death of the bird.
He also advocates freeing the eagles

A

The partisan newspapers that are
attempting to make political capital
out of the action of President Roose.
welt in sending troops to Goldfeld,
New, are on the wrong trail. The
request for the troops came from the
governor OF Nevada, and the presi-
dent, under his oath Of office, is COM
PEELED to respond to such an appeal.
A very foolish attack upon the
president is made by the executive
committee Of the Western Federation
OF Miners, in a statement issued from
their headquarters in Denver. In de.
%nouncing the presence of troops at
Goldfeld, the manifesto makes this
absurd accusation:
1--WE desire to call the attention OF
the American people to the awful dis
aster at Monongah, w. Va, where
800 coal miners were murdered by the
capitalist system in its greed for pro.
fits. Had President Roosevelt been
as anxious to enforce the mining laws
of West Virginia as he is to send the
regular army to crush an organiza-
ton whose only aim is to better the
conditions and make happier the lives
OF the working class, 500 blackened
corpses would not today be laid upon
the altar of greed at Monongah, w.
Va, around which weep widowed
wives and orphaned children"
If the president is to be held re
sponsible for the enforcement of the
state laws of West Virginia. he is
equally responsible for the enforce
ment of all state laws in every part of
the country. He has no more author
ity in h matter than the Western
Federation Of Miners. The manifesto
continues:
"We protest against this action OF
President Roosevelt, knowing that he
was influenced by personal hatred
against the Western Federation OF
Miners and its officers. The moving
OF troops upon a peaceable communi-
ty must be regarded as at least hasty
and ill.advised, and we call upon the
working class of the country to pro.
test against this unwarranted and
unprecedented action Of mimic war
fare
Why should these labor union Off,
cials protest against the presence OF
troops ut Goldfield:: They will moi
interfere with any peaceable and law
abiding citizen. Their presence a
Goldfield or any other town in the
United States should not be ~otfensiv,
to any man who proposes to obey thu
law. In view Of the fact that the rights
and liberties of any American either
are o. affected in this matter, the re
sentiment displayed in this foolish at
tack carries its OWN condemnation.

PHONES IN NAVY.
Wireless System Used by BattIeships
With Great Success.

The wireless telephone installation
on some of the battleships of Admiral
Evans fleet has been proved entirely
successful for distances up to twelve
miles, and in n case Of note it was
distinctly more successful than the
wireless telegraph.
Lieutenant Commander Cleland Da-
Wis, the wireless expert of the navy.
reports that it operates so we'll that it
would even be possible to use it in
action, says Il Washington special to
the New York Times.
Constant communication was main
tanned by telephone between the navy
yard and the Virginia, a distance of
five miles; the cruiser Tennessee kept
mcnts with the navy yard at a dis
lance of twelve miles, while the wire
less telegraph operator on one Of the
Old Dominion steamers off Cape
Charles, twenty miles from the
navy yard. was surprised to hear mu.
sic and messages clearly in his tcle.

phone transmitters aboard his own
ship, so distinct was the sound.
The system in S employs the De

alton is practically the same as fol-

SOME MINING FIGURES.

Most people, ii asked to name the
most valuable single product Of the
mines Of the United States would
name the most precious of metals,
especially as Il great deal has been
said of late about the marvellous in.
crease in the production of gold. AS
a matter of fact, according to the Of
fetal figures of the department of the
interior, the gold produced during the
last fiscal year was little more than
has been imported during the recent
financial furry. 1t fell 81 900, 600
short of the 800, 900, 900 mark. The
white metal itself, SO far from showing
a decline, gained a total of 500, 900
ounces. 1t must be noted, however,
that the money metals have q real
value far greater than the mere totals
show in comparison with the other
metals or the other products of the
country's mines.
Few people would answer off.hand
that coal is the most valuable of the
mine products Of the United States,
so far Is the value of the output goes.
But the coal mined last year was
worth a little more than half a billion
dollars, and 81, 800, 900 more than the
value Of the output Of iron, the mex,
in Importance. In other words, the
coal is worth five times as much as
the annual production of gold, and,
in round figures, the same relative
proportions are sustained in the ease
of iron and gold. 1t is interesting tC
note that gold and crude petroleum
were almost tied in the matter of total
output value, and the patrician metal,
the basis of the financial systems o.
the whole civilized world, lost the
ace by 81, zoos, the values being giver
as 94,373, 100 for gold and $9l, 4li, %;
for crude petroleum.
