THEIR Letter Sent
BY SENATORS
EX-GOVERNOR NORRIS AMONG
THE MEN RECOMMENDED
FOR THAT PORTFOLIO.

IA Washington, Jan. 16.-Democratic
senators from the Rocky mountain re-
gton today semi to President-elect
Wilson a letter urging The selection
of a representative of that section as
secretary of the interior. Mr.. Wilson
was assured that the appointment of
former Governor e. T.. Norris of Mon
tana, former Governor James H. HaW-
ley of Idaho, j.. n. Teal of oregon or
Clay Tallman of Nevada will be salts
factory to the democrats of the far
west. Senators Newlands of Nevada,
Chamberlain Of Oregon, Myers of
Montana, Perky of Idaho and Smith
and Ashurst of Arizona were the sign
ers of the letter.
The senators declined to make public
the text of their letter to Governor
Wilson, but Senator NeWlands was
authorized to make a statement re-
garding it. He said hat the six rep
resented states containing the bulk of
the public lands, and they felt that
they should be heard in connection
with the selection of a secretary of the
interior, because of the connection of
that official with the administration of
public land questions. q
sIn our communication said Mr..
NeWlands, eve urged that since the
problems Of the interior department
relate to the public lands, the admin
istration and management of water re-
sources, the administration of Indian
affairs, the development OF irrigation
projects and the development of the
natural of the country, the
secretary of the interior should be
chbsen from the school of western ex-
perience if 3he is to be qualified prop
erly to administer affairs of such vital
Importance to the Western people,"

GIRL WAS ADOPTED

JOIN THE GYPsIES.

Butte, Jan. 16.-0special.)-Tha
strange case OF Evelyn Mitchell, or
Mary Mitchell, as she was known here,
who is now causing the Los Angeles
authorities much trouble, has created
considerable comment in Butte, and in
terest is added to the case by the dis
covery that the adoption papers are
on file in the office of the clerk Of the
district court. They show that Mary
Mitchell became the legally adopted
daughter of HiSta Gychi and Mary
Gychi on December IS, 1906, A. c. Nc
Daniel acting as attorney for the petit
TONERS and Judge Donlan signing he
order.
Attorney Mcdaniel stated today that
he has a very clear recollection of he
case, and while he did not know that
Rista and Mary Gychi were gypsies,
he knew them to be Spanish, and says
they were unable to speak English.
They came to McDaniels office, and
through an interpreter made known
their wants, securing the proper legal
papers and process. The little girl
was then at st. %Jeseph's orphans home
in Helena. They told Mcdaniel that
they We're well acquainted with the lit
tie girl and her parents, and that the
mother.of the child had asked them to
adopt her as their own.
The mother Of the girl, Mrs. I'll. Fl.
Mitchell, died in Helena, and the child
was deserted by it's father.

what has seemed to to the public an
unnecessarily long delay" said Sena.
TOT Survant. Some time ago we
made a partial report which has been
made public. It dealt with what APP
peared to us to be. the. more unim-
portant features of the investigation.
THE committe has been handi-
capped in many ways. 1t has had OBJ
stacles of every iii thrown in it's
path. 1t has had a reason for the
secrecy with which it has guarded
some of the features of the inlvestiga-
tion. These reasons still are valid,
but If the public wants the details we
will give. them out. Then it is up to
the public

Missoula and sHSkane men are inter-
ested, a made. an important discpv-
cry of ore in its lower tunnel at Null
Ian. The company has expended in
the ne~ighborhood of 100000 in the
lower tunnel searching for the vein.
The work has been going forward
here steadily since 1908, but it was
not until the past month that the
vein has been located. 1t was neces-
sary in the first place to drive 1000
feet of tunnel to reach the line of the
vein, and where 1t vas crossed by. the
main tunnel it was SO disturbed by
faultfng as to throw it off from the
engineers. estimate by several hum
bred feet. 1t took nearly a years
work drifting and prosecuting to To-
cate the vein. Where first cross
cut, the, vein is IA feet wide of milling
ore. Since that time the company
has driven Is feet on the vein with
constantly improving conditions, and
row has two feet wide of copper ore
which will average about 5 per cent
copper and ~ silver per ton
In addition to the copper, the vein
ALSO shows a streak of lead-silver ore
about two feet wide, which also gives
good assay eturns. The vein is a
true f~isstlre, and gives very promise
of developing ore of even better quail
ity than that now being opened
Harry ingalls, of Mullan, is manager
and secretary of the company. Mr.
Ingalls, has been with the company in
this capacity since 1901, and all of the
work performed has been under his

workings the company expended about

yer ore at a depth of about 300 feet.

Association:
Texas not only broke all pre-
vlous records at home in crop
production last year. but leads
all other states by several million
dollars.
We produce thirty-two leading
agricultural products, including
livestock. in commercial quantl-
ties. ar ! a portion of sixteen of
them is manufactured in the
State. But of 80 Industries list
ed, a surplus is shown for only
eight.
Cotton is our leading agricul-
tural product, and the combined
value Of the lint and seed consti-
tutes AZ per cent Of the total
farm production. while corn TAX
es second rank. Coffee and tea
are the only agricultural pro
ducts consumed 20 any extent in
Texas which are NOT produced
in commercial quantities within
our borders.
Cotton and rice are the onb
farm products we produce in
surplus quantities.
Despite the fact that these
crops are raised successfully in
Texas. vet Texas Is compelled 10
import millions Of dollars worth
of the following. Indian corn.
hay. Irish potatoes. broom corn.
