If the following straw vote tax

train a few days ago, says the One
Horse News of Whitefsh, Mont, is
any barometer OF the feeling of the

how the country views the political
situation, Kall1ulating Kal may as
we'll calculate on looking for a job
from one of his old friends, from Den

old bosom friends of his, will no doubt
reciprocate for his undying friendship
and protection when they were trying
to gcuge the public.
The conductor states that straw
ballot was taken in one of the cars on
his train recently, on which were rid
ing 43 passengers, representing al
most that many states. The vote
stood 80 for LaFollette, 3 for Kali
kulating Kal, and for Davis, which
likely reflects the feeling Of the coun-

will be remembered that Mr.. Garrett

"The Pain in the Northwest" The

METAL MINING in
MONTANA In 1924

The production of copper, lead, and
zince in Montana was proceeding at
a somewhat better rate early in 1924
than in 1923, according to a statement
issued by the department Of the in
terror, based on statistics compiled by
c. n Gerry, of the geological survey.
The output of geld, however, was de-
cidedly less and many of the silver
mines had ceased operations. The
price Of lead was high and average
about 8.5 cents a pound from Janu-
airy to May, but the prices of silver,
copper and zince decreased and were
much less than those of 1923. Cop
per at 1875 cents a pound is not con-
sidered encouraging fer deep mining
at Butte, and the Anaconda Copper
Mining Co. decreased its output in
May by closing the Tramway mine
and by curtailing operations at the
Colorado mine which was recently ac-
quired from the Davis DAILY Co.
The gold produced in Montana in
1923 was valued at $1,758,748, an in
crease from $1,657757 in 1922, in
spite of the fact that no dredges we're
at work in Madison county. A large
part Of the gold came from the pro-
perty Of the Anaconda Copper Mining
Co. at Butte; the Ruby Gulch mine,
near Zortman; the Shannon mine, at
Marysville; the Jardine mine, near
Gardner; and the Swissmont mine, at
Elkhorn. A large decrease will no
doubt be recorded in 1924, as the
Ruby Gulch, Shannon and Swissmont
mines are idle. The Jardine mine,
however, is maintaining a large out
put Of gold both from bullion and
from roasted concentrate The output
of gold from silver ore in Granite
county and from iron ore in Deer
Lodge county is decreasing consider
ably.
The output of silver from Montana
in 1923 was 13,380,862 ounces; an in
crease from 12,468,151 ounces in 1922.
In the early part Of 1924 the Anacon-
da, Butte & Superior, and Elm Orlu
companies made a good record from
copper and zinc ore containing silver,
but several other companies were dis
couraged and ceased operations when
