 WHAT IS l1EGITIMATE MINING?
 It is buying the virgin mining ground in the mining districts, where the ground has ben proven and the ore is known to exist and then devet- oping that ground under the superv;s ion of an experienced mining man and blocking out your own ore-and when you have sufficient ore in sight blocked out. erect a mill suitable to your ore and your location and then put the ore through your mill just as you would thresh your wheat or shell your corn
 You can buy this virgin ground through an honest broker Or promoter by buying his stock in some good prospect which he is developing and offering to sell a limited amount Of treasury stock at nominal price.

 From all over the world. from ev- cry country and every cline We hear of millionaire mine owners. but from only few cities do we hear of mil- lionaire merchants and bankers Where are the railroad men outside of the New York Stock Exchange who nave made their millions?
 To prove that mining stock invest ments pay, that they are safe. that they are more than ordinarily profit able, note the following as taken from various authorities:
 1000 shares in the Homestake, South Dakota, pays s6,000 annually.
 $1,000 in the Tamarack pays $6.000 annually.
 1000 shares in the Calumet and IIecla pays $S3 9o0 annually.

RESIGNATION.

William D. Haywood has resigned
As secretary Of the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners. It Is said he will no
longer have any Official relations with
the federation.
The retirement OF MI. Haywood has
been anticipated ever since the arrest
.of the federation oficials charged
with the murder Of former Governor
Stuenenberg Of Idaho and accused
with committing numerous other
crimes. Nj. Haywood was the leader
Of the radical element Of the fedora.
tion and the brains OF the socialist
movement Ia the western part Of the
nation.
While the miners stood by him and
his codefendants admirably in their
time OF need, many Of the policies ad.
yocated by him we're abandoned,
The more conservative element Of the
organization became active and as q
result a member Of the Butte Miners
union, the most conservative labor or.
ganization In the big copper camp
was elected the nominal head of the
federation. Conservatism to a large
degree superseded radicalism.
Az . result It Is not surprising t.
learn that Mr.. Haywood has resigned
II IL to be hoped that. his resignation
will eliminate the Haywooddsm from
the miners organization and that n
the future It will work In q conserva
tive and legitimate manner for the
improvement Of the workingmen and
the conditions which surround them

NEEDS MORE ROOM.

The remarkable increase In business
which is shown by the report OF the
Billings postoffce for 1907 is another
evidence that more room IS needed.
The quarters OF the postomce are en-
stirely too cramped to enable the
clerks to give emcient service. There
is not enough room to work in or
enough room for boxes. It is doubtful
If there is another office In the coun-
try 50 cramped for room.
The matter has been repeatedly
called to the attention Of the federal
authorities. 1t has been one Of the
arguments advanced for building a
federal building here. One year ago
the request for more room was made
and no heed was paid to it, Now the
business lis more than twice what 1t
was then In some departments and
yet the quarters have not been en-
larged.
These cramped quarters are to
blame for any i%nef1ciency that may
occur IL the local postal service. The
local postohce is to be congratulated
on being able to handle the business
as well AZ 1t does.
But It Is apparent that unless the
government intends to build a federal
building here soon 1t will have to Sc
cure enlarged quarters for the local
postof1ce. 81 fact, It Is almost neces.
sary to secure enlarged quarters until
the government building ID erected.

WILLIAM JAMES Y

William j. Bryan, the newly ap-
pointed senator from Florida, whose
n name was confused with that Of vii
Ham j. Bryan Of Nebraska, will be
the youngest member OF the United
States senate. His career has been q
most meteoric one Four years ago
he was unknown in political life II
Florida and during that short time he
has been able to place himself nea,
the head 81 democracy il that state.
Graduating from Washington and
Lee university not more than si1
years ago, Florida's new senator start
ed as 9 lawyer in Jacksonville tt
make q name for himself. His bril-
liancy and force Of language soon Won
= name for himself, and he was elect
ed county solicitor. Then came hs
entry into the politics OF the state
After successfully managing the cam,
paign Of n. p. Howard, the present
governor Of Florida, he announced
himself As a candidate for delegate to
the national democratic committee
from the state at large, and led the
entire ticket BY over 1000 votes.
Mr.. Bryan was appointed United
States senator BY Governor Napoleon
B. Howard to succeed the late sena-
tor Stephen r. Mallory. His life 80
far would indicate that he will have
% brilliant career as the other W. i.
Bryan, twice defeated as 4 candidate
for the presidency.

MoNTANA's CLIMATE,

Steps should be taken by the com.
mercial bodies Of eastern Montana to
advertise the climate Of this portion
Of the state. It would be hard to find
a more attractive climate. It is not
too hot In summer nor too cold in win
ter. Weather such as the Yellowstone
valley has experienced this fall and
winter should be inducement enough
to %pursuade any man to move to this
portion of the state.
Despite this glorious climate people
outside the state seem to have an idea
that Montana is as frigid as the
Artic regions. It is a matter OF com
ment that people, starting for eastern
Montana secure the ;warmest Of APP
parel and the heaviest Of wraps, tx
pecting to go where 1t is awful cold.
But when they arrive here they don't
have to even wear their heavy wraps.
It Is a most agreeable surprise.
IN other sections Of the country
there have been billiards. and heavy
snow falls, but in the Yellowstone val
ley the thermometer this year has
not gone as low as zero. Men seldom
wear their overcoats in the day time.
Yesterday afternoon several men were
seen talking on one Of the street cor.
ners and they did not even-have their
coats on.
The wonderful climate Of the Vel
lowstone valley is something Of which
all can boast. There IS nc better eli
mate anywhere else.

Il SALOON QUESTION.

The first meeting Of the city council
in 1908 will be held Tuesday night.
One Of the matters which will come
before that meeting will be the appli-
cation Of N. Gratz, proprietor Of the
Peerless cafe, for a saloon license to
conduct a saloon on North Twenty
seventh street. The application has
been referred to the license commit
tee and it Is anticipated that 1t will be
reported at the meeting Tuesday
night. 3
From time to time The Gazette has
protested against the granting Of such
II license IN the ground that there
are too many saloons in Billings now.
Mayor Foster IS said to be opposed to
granting the license and in this he IS
supported by several Of the members
Of the city council. This paper BE-
heves that the sentiment Of the com
munity is against increasing the nun
Der Of saloons. Certainly the senti-
ment Of the property wner q
North Twenty4seventh street is
against the granting Of the application
Of Mr.. Gratg.
It is not that anyone has anything
against Mr.. Gratz or the brewery,
which is back of him, but 1t Is the fact
that there are too many saloons in
Billings that has caused this agitation
against granting him a license. At
the present time there IL SO saloons
in Billings. Permits have been grant,
ed by the city council for two others,
one for Frank Vannek to conduct a
saloon IN the Belknap block, IN the
store now occupied by Hunkins' Jew
elry store, and another to Tony
Minder to conduct a saloon on North
Twenty-sixth street In his new build
ing. When these two licenses are ia.
ken out there will be IS saloons in
Billings. Surely that Is more than
enough saloons for a city the size OF
Billings. That means a saloon for
every IS men in Billings, basing the
population at 10000.
o oi3o 9th inwt y
While this paper does not believe
the council will grant Mr.. Gratz a II
cense, he seems confident Of securing
It and has already started work
Of remodeling his restaurant in order
to put in a saloon. It's to be hoped
that his confidence is placed wrongly
and that the councilmen will not
grant him a license. In fact 1t would
be hard to understand their action II
they should in the face Of the protests
that have been made against IL.

THE PETTIRoNE r b

The verdict OF not guilty returned
In the Pettibone case was more gem
orally expected than the verdict in
the Haywood trial. The evidence in
the two cases was practically the
same, and 1t was to pc expected that
the jury In the last case would view
It the same as the jury in the Hay
wood trial. It was realized that the
only real evidence against the defend
ant was that given by orchard, and it
was expected that jurors would not
give it much credence, coming from a
man who had confessed to the awful
crimes Orchard had admitted commit
ting. @
After all, the verdict is probably a
good thing. Had Pettibone not been
acquitted it would have caused class
hatred and strife that would have been
hard to overcome. For years to come
the anarchists and socialists would
have pointed to the trial at Boise as
an attempt to harm the working class.
AS It was, they said Justice would not
be given and an acquittal could hardly
be expected, as the courts were
against the workingman. What q re-
buke the verdict is to the socialists
and anarchists. What an answer to
their screed against the courts Of the
land. *
The case against President Meyer
Of the Western Federation has been
dismissed, and now 1t is to be hoped
that the miner and mine owner will
come closer together and work more
harmoniously. II the great mining In
dustry Is to advance and progress
peace must be maintained in the min
ing districts. It is time for the miner
and the operator to get together and
make such peace.
