Recent returns from samples of

shows 38 per cent copper, 6 9-10
ounces silver and 45 cents gold.
Another return was 33 per cent

Great Falls Leader. g
A gentleman stepped into the
Leader office yesterday and re- ii
marked: "The laboring class must r
be pretty well employed in Great c
Falls just at present. I have been c
looking for a man three or four days
to do a little piece of work and
can't find one." We hear other
talk of the same nature about the N
streets and presume is is fair to
say that there isn't a loboring man
in Great Falls to-day, if he dosn't 14
happen to be too much of a spec- h
ialist, who cannot find honest em
ployment at fair wages. We are h
proud to say as much, and that 0
Great Falls is one of the few cities
in the northwest where there are 0
not more laborers than can find i
employment. This is not published d
to the world with a purpose to call r
in hundreds of laborers, who per- P
baps would not find work waiting, b
but as a striking proof of the gen- b
eral prosperity this city is enjoying. s
We find that our men of affairs are g
all conservative in their stateriients, P
but they have no hesitation in say- "
ing that business is "looking up." r
Great Falls is a bee hive of busy d
people, a city wonderful for its b
every day progress. b

A Lost Child.
I am trying to find my father. I
am told that his name is James E.
Bailey. I have no recollection of
him, nor do I remember that I ever
looked upon the face of a relative.
My mother died, fifteen years :go
in Boone county, Iowa, when I was
only a year old. Shortly after
mother's death I was adopted by a
neighbor named Morgan. When
I was about eight years old we re
moved to Nebraska, and at this
time father seems to have lost track
of'me. I understand that he en
deavored to find me, but was base
ly led, by an interested party, to
believe that I had died. I have
only recently learned that the Mor
gans were not my parents. I am
passing my days among strangers.
They are nothing to me; I am
nothing to them. The thought h
makes me homesick and lonely
and sad. I believe my own dear d
father is living, somewhere in this
wide, wide world, and if he is I
mean to find him. You can assist
me, if you will, but I can offer you
no reward at present, except my s
gratitude and my blessing. d
If you are unable to give me any ti
information regarding my father,
please help me to publish and cir
culate this notice and oblige, sin
cereiy yours, RETA BAILEY, T

Last summer a Nebraska young si
man disappeared from his home, p
leaving word that he pyas going to N

son of Holy Writ. The other day a
he came home, leading a calf, and li
on meeting his father he said: it
"Well, father, I have had enough a.
of a time to last me the rest of my it
life. Will you take back your pro- p
digal? I have brought a calf with tl
me." To which the old man re- ei
plied, "I see two calves, my son; al
but let that pass. I need another b
hired man, and if you'll keep ol
straight. I'll take you on." "By w
gum, yer a white man, dad." Re- p
plied the son, and he immediately c:
went to work to show that he had T
reformed. As for the calf, it was p
decided not to kill it as it was of c
blooded stock, and when raised will b
bea valuable cow. ft

Cures for the Blues.
Chicago Herald.
1)o you ever have the blues? Of
course you do, for there never yet
lived a man or woman whose soul
cast no shadow. These times of
depression from which we all of us
suffer more or less are nothing
more than the shodows cast by our
souls in the road along which we
are walking heavenward. Sun
shine rays produce shadow, and the
fact that our souls go into eclipse
now and then prove that there is
sunshine just behind us. But what
do you do when you get the blues?
Do you cry or scold or mope? It is
hard to live in the same housewith
you while the shadow falls athwart
your way? Do the children get
out of your way when they aee you
coming? I have found one excel
lent cure for the blues which I
mean to tell right here. Go straight
to work and do something for some
one more miserable than yourself.
Whatever your trouble may be,
there is always some one to be c
found who has a harder lot to bear.
The other day a young wife war e
deserted by her scamp of a husband 1
and taken to the hospital to face a
terrible illness, without a friend to
stand by her in her hour of need,
and with not a cent to defray ex
pences or unlock the door of the.
future. Suppose you go hunt her
up and offer a helping hand. Such C
betrayal and desertion discounts
your puffs of vapor. A mother
watched the coffin lid close the
other day forever and forever, so
far as mortal time counts, between
her yearning eyes and the face of d
her only boy. What is your tran
sient depression compared to the
heart anguish of such a grief as si
hers?Don't you think it would help a
cure you of the blues if you sat tr
down and wrote that mother a let
ter, or dropped in for a hour or two sI
to keep her company? It seems r
such a selfish thing to be so ex
clusive in bearing trouble. Aload e:
shared is a load lightened, and the t,
deepest gloom takes on a bright hi
tint now and then if overshown ai
with the sunshine of love. o0
A Vermont Editor. L

A Vermont editor in speaking of ci
Montana newspapers says: "No
state in the Union is better suppli- tr
ed with newspapers than the ne I i
state of Montana. Two of these c(
papers are before us. The Inter- ai
Mountain, a handsome daily print- M
ed at Butte, the great nmining town, a
and th' other the Madircl iani, pi' i
lisbed at Virginia City, the old cap- qI

are both republican in politics, and st
in them, time party has two able ex- to

er of many words, but every sent- Jt

blow. lie has the happy faculty sc
of saying more in a line than many sc

San Francisco Chronicle.
m Joseph Bruno arrived in this city
ass thi-ree days ago with about $500 in
his his ipo.loet; He came fronm Michi
gan, and it must have been very
, evident that he Was verdant, for
nd yesteiday nirrning he met a very
th nice young fellow~ affable, kind and
ge obliging, who took a great fancy to
the wanderer firom the Wolverine
n state, and at once became his very
w dear friend.
Ig The two men "did the town" in
u good style, all at the expense of the
at affable friend, and along in the after
is noon they landed in the Alhambra,
s- saloon kept by M. J. Dunn under
the grand opera house on Mission
street. Here they found three sol
e- enn-looking-men engaged in a
e. quiet game of poker, and after
watching the game for a while the
obliging friend bought some chips,
gave half of them to the tian from
e Michigan, and .the two were soon
rdeeply engaged.
'1 A very good hand was sooe: dealt
t- to Bruno, and he carried off the
1 the stakes. Of course, he could not
stop there, and when he found he
had been dealt three aces and two
kings he was only too willing to
show how they play poker in Mich
t igan. There was no limit to the
Il betting, and, as Bruno was crtain
the others held small hands, he was
not backward, ard soon had $430
on the table. The hands were then
g shown, and the Michigan man found
that dear friends are sonletimes
good pok:r players, for the affable
e man, who had two trays, had in
some way increased them to four,
and consequently raked in the $430.
t Bruno suspected something, and
announced his intention to notify
the police. After some talk the
four players quietly went out, and
t the proprietor, M. J. Dunn, offered
Bruno $400 if le would say nothintg.
Bruno refused, because he wanted
the full an;ount, and he went for an
oflicer. When the two returned the
offer was raised, the full amount of
$430 was given by Dunn to Bru ob,
and the Michigan man was once
more happy. He will be more
careful in dealing with an obliging
western man when he meets anoth
er one.
i Nevada Irrigating Co~vention.
Represeniative men of this state
held a convention here today for
the purpose of approving the Salt
Lake convention's request that the l
generel government take action in
r the matter of irrigation. Governor s
Colcord presided and addressed the t
convention as did F. G. Newland., c
Senator Stewart, Congressman Bar
time and others. The convention c
approved the Salt Lake piatform of J
water districts similar to those un
der the Wright law, in California.
Yellowstone Journal Comment:
The subject of irrigation is con- a
stantly attracting earnest attention
and the intetests of Montana de
mand we too awake to our own
needs; the extract above quoted J
shows that Nevada is moving in the
matter.
Montana today has the greatest
extent of irrigatable lands of any o
western state, and it is time to pro- ti
fit by the experience of Colorado
and California and begin the course S
of dcvelopment by irrigation that
has rendered such large tracts of
those states, the most valuabtle agri
cultural la.Aqds in this country. I
Of all the irrigating systems yet ti
tried, the Wright system as estab- o
lished in California is the most suc- e
cess-ful and seemns to be the best ad- '
apted to the cornditions that exist in I
Montana. This in brief is the en- *<
actment of state laws providing for le
irri~iidii districts which shalt be'
quasi-corporations like a school dis
trict with trustees an1d power to is-ir
sue bonds and construct andl main
tain dams and canals and to tax all (I
land irrigated by the ditch for the i,
payment &f;h interest on the bonds. h;
Just as ever'y s {tfment of a fewf w
families in Moihtaiii& dcan- oigaii-zie a R
school district and niainta:in a a
school, so can every district ha;ing bl
enough ranches to make iriigation p,
desirable, finrm an irrigatior dlistrict g,
under the Wright law and thius iti- p:
sure the construction of a ditch. il
Montana ought to follow the.ex=
ample of Nevada without delay; ti'
hold a convention and prepare for in
the enitt.tment of an irrigation law. li

Z '1 he Snell Mltirder.
Th' widcow of the late Albert K:

last March, was taken to the
Bay View asylum recently. She has
recently asserted her husband was:
the companion of William Tascott;
the man who is supposed t6 hake
murdered Millionire Snell in Chi
cago a few years ago. Ordway was
the son of a well-known clothier
and she was married to hihm in 181
81. Her husband, she says, sooti
took to drink and tegan to associate
with disreputable people. One'
night he stood before the finfrof
with a fhlna 6n his fa6 'ind dea

from old man Snell or kill the
She pleaded with him to renouncer
his intettib6; but he presisted andt
left the house in a hurry. Niext
morning he returned with a bl6od}
handkerchies and without shoes;'
When questioned by her he said he`
had loaned his shoes to Tascott;
who had been shot and was lying
in the rear of a saloon on West
Madison street.
One of the most important states
nients in the woman'C stfry is that'
she knows Tascott is dead. She'
says she knows that he was stran
gled to death and his body rnde'
away with by his pals. In that<
connection she mentioned thd
u:;nmes of Fuukhouse, Marston, at&n
Reynrolds. Subsequent to the mur
der of Snell she says her husband
was continually nervous, and al-'
ways seemed anxious to leave the'
city, although he was iti businese
with his father. After a great deaf
of persuasion she agreed to accom
pany him to Baltimore. After they'
arrived here she made up her iiind.
to expose the crimi~, but he in
duced her not to do so. Finally'
as a result of drink, he suicided.:

Grey Bull (Wyoming) Mascot.
W. E. Guynup, informs thi Mas:

son got off the road between the'
LU ranch and the Grey Bull bride'
and wandered through the upper'
Buffalo basin for two days. On
the second day the two became
separated and the son warrdered
into the UL ranch. He informne
the employes there of the' sad
plight in which he had left hig'

ganized and started in search of
the old gentleman, but after being;
out all day, they returned without:
him. On the third day the old'
gentleman wandered in. His tongue_
was so swollen that it was severaf
days before he could get it back in
to his mouth. The pair were afoot'
