L am in favor of voting saloons
out of existence. just as soon as pub

Gambling In Metal.

Gambling in metal is done by means
of buying and selling warrants. these
being the notes for specified quaint
ties of metal held in stock.
The basis of the gambling is that in
many businesses it is often necessary
to buy ahead large quantities of metal.
When things are slack large stocks ac-
cUmulate, while as soon as things be-
come more brisk the metal is taken out
of the stores.
An immense amount of gambling Is
done in connection with pig" as pig
iron is popularity known. Warrants for
pig are made out in units of 500 tons,
and payment is made for the warrants
once q month. Should a man really
want eco tons of pig iron he obtains
warrant which authorizes him to take
500 tons out of store. and he will be re-
quired to pay for the metal within
the month.
Supposing Il man buys in the expec-
tation that he will be able to sell the
pig iron at higher price than is ruling.
| he buys warrants according to his
means. and he has i month for things
to mature. Should the price of pig go
| up, during the month he is able to sell
! his bargain to another man. and he
pockets the difference. although he
has never laid down any money in real
coin.
| Should things go wrong with him
ana prices 90 down. then he is obliged
to'pay the difference between the price
at which he bought the pig and the
price at which he is able to sell it. and
so he sustains loss.-London An
.jswers.

SAILOR CO. ELECTS DIRECTORS

The annual stockholders meeting
Of the Sailor Mining company,
limited, was held at the office Of
the company in the Topliff block
this week.
Reports of the president and
manager, treasurer and secretary
were submitted.
The following officers were
elected:
Myron Topliff, Wallace, presi-
dent; Fred Hensalt, Missoula. vice
president; J. H. Williams, treasur-
er; H. G. Topping, secretary; Sam
G. Brown, director.
The property Of the Sailor COM
pany is located on Slate creek 10
miles south of Wallace and consists
Of six unpatented mining claims.
The development to date has
been the running Of a tunnel ap-
proximately 100 feet and the sink
ing of winze 20 feet.
There is a good ore showing.
The formation is slate cut by a
quartzite dyke. The tunnel follows
the>quartzite dyke into the noun
tain and shows ore nearly its entire
length. The ore is high grade
galena, practically free from zinc
and iron. 1t is quite probable that
future workings will develop a good
ore shoot, and will be the means OF
opening up the south end Of the
Occur d'Alenc district.
The property is well equipped
with cabins, blacksmith shop and
tools.
Provision will shortly be made
to patent the property and small
assessment will probably be levied
for this purpose. The company
recently levied an assessment to
prosecute development work and
very little Of the stock will be de-
linquent as every stockholder has
faith in the property and confidence
in the management.

SILVER CLIFF IMPROVEMENTS
New Road, Buildings and Equipment to
Facilitate Development.

James Young, manager of the
Silver Cliff Mining company, near
Lookout, reports that during the
past month the company has made
considerable necessary improve
ments, including threc-quartcr-
mile wagon road connecting the
new lower workings with the Mis-
soula branch of the Northern Pacific
railway, and blacksmith shop and
storeroom, the dimensions of which
are 1G by Is feet. A 9OO-foot air
pipeline was also run from the
compressor plant above, the pres
sure from which will be utilized in
the operation of power drills in the
lower drift.
This lower drift is in now
distance Of 10 feet, 81 feet of which
was through wash, ncccssitating
timbering all the way, but we are
in solid formation now,N said Mr..
Young.
"Wc have shipped some rich
copper ore from the upper workings
and the purpose of the lower drift
is to get under this body.
1--WE ran the lower drift no feet
and by crosscutting 1 feet we inter
sected the vein, which we found to
be seven feet wide, although on the
surface it showed width of Is feet.
The vein filling at this point con-
sists Of carbonate of copper, some
native copper, chalcopyrite and
bornite, and indications warrant us
in the belief that an ore body may
be broken into at any time. The
future development of the property
will be in the continuation of the
lower drift, which, when in $50
feet, will be under the showing
made $50 feet above.
From these lower workings, by
running south a distance OF $50
feet, we can tap the old workings
800 feet deeper, or total depth of
1900 feet.
The physical condition of the
mine is now better than at any
time in its development.
