The Montana League has faced
an opposition that would have
been too much for any organiza.
ton which was not solidly united
and enthusiastic in its cause.
The League has faced the hitter
opposition of practically the en-
tire daily press Of the state; it il
fighting political ring and Z
copper and water power trust
that has dominated the states
politics since the state was or.
ganized; it has had to Withstand
the open and underhanded attacks
of councils of defense and has
been prosecuted with trumped.up
charges In the courts.
Yet Montana League members
have been mistaken by these
conditions. They have given
demonstration Of solidarity and
enthusiasm for their cause as
overwhelming as has been given
hy League members Of the other
states where it is organizing.
In North Dakota, the League men,
bers voted 28,S75 to 219 to sustain
the national committee; in Minne-
sofa, the vote was 26,180 to 1873 to
sustain the national committee; in
South Dakota, the vote was 11,027
to 264 to sustain the national COM
mittee, and the proportion was prac-
tically the same throughout the rest
Of the 13 states where the organiza-
tion is working.
Unanimous Verdict.
Never in the history of any organi-
cation has there been so nearly a
unanimous agreement.
The referendum board met at
League headquarters, St. Paul, to
count the ballots on January 27. The
two Minnesota members of the board,
David H. Evans and Charles A. Lind
bergh, were present, as was Mark P.
Bates, the South Dakota member ap-
pointed by the national committee to
supervise the count. Lynn j. Frazier
of North Dakota and H. F. Samuels
of Idaho, the other two members Of
the board, could not be present. But
the board had a majority present and
the absent members sent kilograms
authorizing the three members pres
ent to proceed with the count with
out them.
The referendum board found all the
ballots from the 13 states in their
original envelopes, still unopened.
They filled four or five packing cases
and trunk. To pen the envelopes
and count the ballots was a tremen-
dous task. The board put several
groups Of clerks to work. The bal
lots were first taken from their seal
ed envelopes and sorted as to states.
They were then put in piles "for" and
against sustaining the national
committee. All the ballots "for'
were done up in packages Of 100 by
the clerks, and SO were the ballots
against" in the case of states where
there were more than 100 against
but, alas! in only three out of the l3
states were there more than 100
League members dissatisfied with the
work of the organization!
Letter Enclosed.
It was an immense task to sort and
count the ballots. Much time was
lost opening the envelopes, and it
took almost three days to finish the
counting, although about Is clerks
were on the job under the supervision
Of the canvassing board. Several
rooms and tables were used, and bal
lots were stacked about in piles sew
eral feet high.
Besides this work. the clerks
had to take care Of thousands of
letters which were inclosed by
League members with their bal

Montana has the honor of giving
Mr.. Townley and the League manage
ment and policies in general as over
whelming a vote of Endorsement as
any other League state, not except
ing North Dakota. OF course, the
vote in all League states, especially
in North Dakota, is overwhelming
enough to put the League opposition
completely to rout. Scarcely one
member on a hundred in the 13
states as a whole where the League
is organizing voted not to approve
the national committee, but the vote
is especially significant in Mon
tana.

EXCITEMENT CAUSED
By DIVIDE STORIES

Sunday was a day OIL exceptional ex-
element at Tonopah. owing to the re-
mort that Divide Extension had struck
n rich in the new crosscut from the
1O0-foot level. No official information
was forthcoming. as II was clearly
understood that the only one autho-
rized to give out the news was Zeb
Kendall, president of the company,
who is down in San Francisco. Miners
began placing buying orders for Di-
vide Extension stock at anywhere
from 1915 to $500. compared with the
closing price Saturday afternoon of
50 .95. Dividend was also included in
the buying orders. implying that the
new ledge went through that property
and also into the Midway Divide. a
small fraction Of the Dividend, which
was decided to a Goldfeld company
about two months ago. Reports of the
nature of the find could not be con-
firmed. but thes street reports alleged
that the Extension had at least six
feet in the crosscut that would run
above $500 a ton.
The strike had been expected for
several days. since it was known that
the company was beginning crosscut-
ting, but it was not until late Satur-
day that there was any excitement.
Among other reports that added fuel
to the excitement was one that the in
terests of Herbert G. Humphry had
been optioned to a Boston syndicate.
which was anxious to take owe the
property on the showing made in the
crosscut, which rumor states, on-
firms in every way the values found in
prosecuting from the fifty-foot level
of the Caldwell shaft.
One of the most sensational findings
in the history of the district is likely
to outstrip that of the Divide Exten-
sion, which found its best values at
a depth of forty-five feet from the sur
face about six week ago. This Is on
the Knox Divide, situated on the north
eastern slope of Sutherland mountain,
in a section where the landscape is
about as hungry looking as any ina
gined. In an expanse of s%agebrush
without groupings or other outward
indications to suggest the presence of
mineral values, George Badgett. SUI
perintendent of the Knox Divide, after
trenching and prospecting for ten
days, finally opened a ledge carrying
phenomenal values in gold. with a
trace of silver. At eight feet the
hole gave $48.50 in gold. with one dol
lar in silver from a five-foot ledge.
At ten feet the values had improved
considerably and at eleven feet a
sample from two feet yielded $10S.1S
and a second sample gave s121 a ton
with only five and one-half ounces in
silver. The discovery upsets all
theories and proves that the entire
Divide district is undertake with a
network of lodges and veins which
are likely to reward the owners with
sensational values with very little
work. A windlass has been installed
and work on sinking a shaft will be-
gin forthwith. 1t is possible that a
high-grade shipment may be taken out
as very little sorting will be required.
The Smuggler Divide. adjoining. is
trenching close to the line of the
Knox, in an effort to pick up the ledge
showing on that property.-IGazette.
