eral recognition and secure proper
equipment and undergo due organiza-
tion by the time the guard leaves.
This new Home Guards is a mixture
of two movements.
The first movement in the state con.
| sisted of what may be called the Home
| Guard proper, civilians of the civil
war, mere boys to veterans Of the
civil war The second movement
in the field only few days later
| arose among rifle clubs affiliated with
the National Rifle association. AS a
rule, these were young men and the
majority of them are sharpshooters.
There arose about 1000 of these men
scattered through the state, with
scores of flourishing clubs enough to
form regiment.
| However, it has been found feasible
in Butte and Helena to combine these
movements. Butte now has two full

armed and drilled, and the riflemen
have mixed with the civilians. In Hell

joined the older organization and In
number of smaller towns, the eX

ization into state body, probably
could be speedily formed into such.

Tons Of Gold Dollars.

The statement that there has just
been counted in New York, at the
United States assay office, the enor-'
nous sum of S765OOO,00O in gold may.
be visualized somewhat when this is
translated into ounces, pounds and
tons, writes Girard in the Philadelphia
Ledger. i.
While it has been asserted that this
sum probably is the largest amount OF
gold coin and bullion ever accumulat-
ed in one place, it Is well to remen-
Der that only SO recently as a year
ago there WAS said to be $500, 1000, 600
in gold and bullion in the Russian
State bank.
The sum in New York figures out
something like this: There are APP
proximately $4,000 900 ounces or 3,OOO,-
600 pounds or 1916 tons. The figures
are not exact.
