'I Ilf Boulder Mine*
The recent storms have resulted in a
snowfall of nearly two feet in many por
tions of the Boulder mining district,
temporarily suspending the work of
prospectors. Work upon the developed
properties, however, is bei dr successfully
prosecuted.
a, t i, t , , .
At the Independence mine a boarding !
H
house has been erected and the GOO foot
tramway is being roofed to protect it
from the winter snows. About fifty
men are now employed in the mine and
about the company's mill. The com
pany is now operating its three-stamp
mill as well as the ten-stamp mill of the
Hidden Treasure company upon the out
put of their mine for the purpose of re
ducing the large accumulation in their
ore house and upon the dumps. From
thirty to thirty-five tons of ore are
treated daily and with excellent result
in the output of amalgam. Upon the
mine a crosscut bus been run from she
hrst to a second vein of ore which is of j
still greater width and of equal richness j
w ith the ore now being worked.
The Yellow Jacket is another of the
promising mines of the district, cwned
by Cook & Owens, which shows a good
body of rich ore. Work upon this prop
erty, however, has been suspended for
the winter.
A strike of rich galena ore has been
made upon Baboon mountain, which in
dicates that the Boulder district wil
j prove rich in silver as well as gold.
! Three sawmills are now in active of
I eration in dilferent localities, which will
\ furnish an abundant supply of lumber
j for building and other purposes. "
I E. Langham, of Helena, representing
: the Crawford rotary quartz mill com
j pany, visited the Boulder district the
I P« 8 t week and placed orders for four of
! those mills. Two have been purchased
j by the Poorman Mining company to
; treat the output of their property. One
j will be placed at the Daisy mine by
Chapin A. Leo, and another, to be de
voted to custom work, will he located in
the Lake district. It is claimed that by
the employment of these mills ten per
cent, better returns can be secured than
by any other process yet utilized in
treating free-milling ores.
David Kennedy, owner of the Dixie
mine, has gone to Helena, taking with
him 400 pounds of ore which will be put
through the Crawford rotary mill as
a test of the u re Hnd also to demonstrate
the working of this process of treating
ores.
\V H. OUR, CONTRACTOR.
Delilen Timt He Has Skipped and Un
derestimate* His Liabilities.
The Butte correspondent of theStaml
ard, under dote of October 14th, says:
"W. H. Orr, the well-known Helena
contractor, was in the city this evening
and emphatically denies the statement
made in some of the state papers this
morning to the effect that he had skip
ped. Mr. Orr states that the article re
ceived from Livingston in regard to the
attachment on him misrepresents him,
and that the facts in the ease are quite
different. Mr. Orr has now due him on
the High school building at Livingston
«0,400, which is held for 45 days after
completion of the building as security
against lien. Out of this amount there
is due the material men from him about
85,200. Mr. Orr has not skipped out, is
working in Butte, and is in constant
correspondence with the board of school
trustees of Livingston and has not yet
been informed of any liens or attach
ments being made against the school
building or himself. The report that
Mr. Orr has skipped is certainly wrong,
and Mr. Orr believes the falsehood was
maliciously circulated."
From this statement of Mr. Orr it is
plain that he possesses a very limited
knowledge of his affairs in this city. At
the date of the filing of attachments last
week there was due Orr on his contracts
for the school building and poor house
about 87.500. Of this amount something
like 82,000 will he required to finish
those structures, which Architects Gal
braith & Fuller have been ordered by
the school board and commissioners to
do. This would leave less than 86.000
due Mr. Orr on both contracts, while
claims against him, including three or
ders covering 86,000, and attachment
suits for a like amount, making a total
of 81*2,000, are still to be satisfied. This
will leave at least 86,000 to be in some
manner supplied by Mr. Orr, either
through his own efforts or those of his
bondsmen, before he can place himseif
upon a sound financial basis in ths com
munity, any statement to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The Park Comity Columbian Exposition
Association.
This association was organized Au
gust 4th, 1892. It meets semi-monthly
at the new school building, and is stead
ily increasing in membership. A club
has been organized and papers on the
life of Columbus, King Ferdinand and
Queen Isabella are read at the meetings.

after a lingering illness of pneumonia.
Deceased was one of the first miners in
Alder gtflch and at one time was pos
sessed of valuable property at Helena.
He came to Emigrant gulch during the
early days of gold excitement in that
district and for several years followed
the avocation of a miner. Later he en

in Paradise valley, where he remained
until the time of his deuth. He was 46
the

HELENA FOK THE CAPITAL.
Why Montana'* Voters Should indorse the
(Jueen Lit y ol the Rockies Answered
hy an Illustrated Man.
We present above to the voters of
Park county and eastern Montana a ;
comprehensive map that the voters may
be enabled to understand fully the ad
vantages to he gained by the whole
state by the establishing permanently of
the state capital at Helena, showing the
relative position of that city, in a cen
tral sense, toward the rest of the state.
It will be seen, hy reference to this
map, that the claims of Helena's friends
that the city is most centrally located as
regards railroad facilities, commerce
and population, are unquestionably es
tahlisheil. We find the center of popu
lation fifteen miles southeast of Helena;
the next to follow being Boulder and
Deer Lodge. Boulder has relinquished
her claim and is an ardent supporter of
Helena, while Deer Lodge, which was
prompted to enter the race by bright
promises from Anaconda and Butte, has
been "side-tracked" hy Marcus Daly
who is the only man in Montana that is
credited with owning a town and every
thing therein contained "all by himself,"
and whose town at present is the only
one that can he regarded as being in the
race with Helena.
The greatest good to the greatest
number should govern the minds and
thoughts of the people of this county
and all eastern Montana. A vote for
Bozeman means a vote to assist Marcus
Daly in keeping votes from Helena and
; taking the capital to Anaconda—in fact
canvassers for Anaconda in eastern Mon
tana when they cannot obtain n promise
to vote for Anaconda advise a vote for
Bozeman.
Voters, can you see the scheme?
As for Butte, it is boasted hy the An
aconda boomers that Daly controls one
! half of its votes and that great inroads
are being made upon the other half hy
the free use of "boodle" and political
trades.
Great Falls, through a few men that
own town lots in the suburbs of the
city, is making a fight, but the mun who
has done more than any other to up
build this thriving city—J. J. Hill—
in a recent interview, said that he
would not take any part whatever in the
capital fight but was willing to leave the
matter in the hands of the intelligent
voters of Montana.
Decide the capital question upon the
merits of the respective cities and Hel
ena will surely win hy an overwhelming
majority on the first ballot.
Park county says that the permanent
capital of Montana shall be at Helena.

After a week of persistent advertising
both by the use of fiaming handbills anil
personal appeals to the faithful, supple
metited by the enlivening strains of the
! Livingston band, the democrats failed to
or
produce any enthusiasm for their meet
.... , ..
ing \\ eilnesoay evening. As the time
approached for calling the meeting to
oriter it was evident that the attendance
would be slim, which had a decidedly
depressing effect upon party leaders.
When the meeting was formally opened
at 8;3D only about half the available
seuting capacity of the opera house was
utilized, and this in a great measure by
ladies and boys.
The opera house had been profusely
decoiated with potted plants, bunting
and banners bearing democratic mot
toes, none of which detracted much
from the naturally handsome stage ef
fect, although to those hypercriticaliy
inclined the democratic orthography
employed upon several of the banners
was a source of criticism.
John T. Smith was the first speaker
introduced and apologozied to the audi
ence for his appearance on the ground
that it was only to follow the time-hon
ored democratic custom of presenting
everything that was down upon the bills.
He told his audience that he was pre
pared to stand hy his party upon a coin
; par i Bon u f its record with that of repub
hy
he
the
the
ican administrations. In attempting a
comparison of these records he delivered
a eulogy of Thomas Jefferson who was
one of the original advocates of protec
tion to American industries — after
which, with a sweeping stride in the his
tory of the country he advanced to at
tack the republican party for the public
credit strengthening act passed in 1808
and the demonetization of silver net in
1873. The latter law he declared was
surreptitiously passed through congress,
and for this he attached all blame to Hie
republican party- a tacit admission that
none of the democratic representatives
or senators possessed sufficient intelli
gence to detect and expose this legisla
tive trick. Upon the tariff he claimed
to stund squarely with the party in the
declaration that a protective tariff was
unconstitutional. To fortify himself in
this position he entered into a "scrap
book" discussion that proved exceed
ingly tiresome to his audience—all of
whom were well aware that in face of
the ruling of the United States supreme
court holding the McKinley uct consti
tutional the speaker was simply placing
himself in a position antagonistic to the
highest judicial authority of the coun
try. He next attacked Governor Rick
ards for his rulings us presiding officer
of the state senate, asserting that he
had out-Reeded Reed, and although his
ruling had been sustained by subsequent
rulings of that official and in turn up
held hy a decision of the supreme court
of the United States in passing upon the
McKinley hill, Rickards had no right to
apply such a rule unless it had first been
incorporated as a rule of the senate.
This criticism of the republican candi
date for governor evidently did not even
satisfy the speaker himself, and he at
tempted to supplement it with an offens
ive comparison. He unloaded his stale
canary bird story upon the audience,
but as this could not be made applicable
to Governor Rickaids, he tried the alli
gator and bird story of Dr. Livingstone.
In this he met with better success so far
as he himself was concerned, hut the
audience failed to note any* parallel be
tween the story and the speaker's state
ment that Governor Rickards is engaged
in picking the teeth of the republican
party, and as a natural result the gleam
of animation that overspread the coun
tenance of Mr. Smith found no respons
to
ive sentiment from the audience. He
then gave county politics a whirl by re
iterating the charge made against the
republican officials of extravagance and
incompetence. As a sample of the un
reliability of his assertions on this sub
ject lie stated that the county had been
involved in debts aggregating about
8110,000, with nothing to show for it.

j ing with the deliverance of this attack
I exhausted himself as well as the audi
ence he retired to make room for ihe
speaker of the evening.
I Hon. E. 1). Matts of Missoula was
j next introduced to the audience as the
"Bald Eagle of the Rockies." He is a
j pleasing speaker anil among the best or
I ators in the democratic party of Mon
tana, and as a result his plea for free
trade was greeted by attentive listeners,
although a large proportion of the au
dience differed with the conclusions
reached hy the speaker. His opening
remarks were a scathing rebuke to the
speaker who had preceded him. He
stated it as his belief that almost with
out exception the people of this country
are actuated hy honest and patriotic mo
tives in an effort to secure the liest pos
sible form of government, and theiefore
entitled to a candid and respectful con
sideration of their political opinions.
Believing this he would not indulge in
any offensive personality, hut would ilis
cuss the issues involved in the campaign
fairly from a democratic standpoint.
He also declared Ins belief that a pro
tective tariff is unconstitutional, and
then entered into a long discussion of
the beauties of free trade, notwithstand
ing the fact that leading democrats of
! Montana have publicly declared that a
removal of the duty on lead would close
down the lead mines of the west and
throw thousands of men out of employ
ment. His tariff talk was a benefit to
the republican cause in this city and
can be relied upon to greatly increase
the majorities tor both legislative and
county ticket. His discussion of the
silver question was a repetition of that
employed by democrats everywhere. Ho
charged the republican party witji re
sponsibility for the demonetization act
of 1873 as well as all other legislation in
imical to the white metal. He did not,
however, explain why, if the democratic
party is friendly to silver, it failed with
a majority of 140 in the house to pass
the house free coinage bill, and why
later in the last session it also failed to
pass the Stewart free coinage bill after
that measure had received the approval
of a republican senate. He denounced
Weaver as an enemy of silver because he
favors an irredeemable paper currency,
claiming that he was unworthy the sup
P ort of friends of silver.

be
On the other
hand he urged his hearers to vote for
Stevenson, the démocratie candidate for
vice president, probub'y forgetting that
Mr. Stevenson owed his election to con
gress to an advocacy of the same fiat
money policy that secured Weaver's
first election to congress. The main
reason for urging the election of Stev
enson was the speaker's belief that Mon
tana] with several other states would
elect a democratic United States sena
tor, leaving that body a tie, in which
event a great advantage would accrue to
the democratic party hy having a demo
cratic vice president to preside over the
senate. The republicans present "caught
tnetip" and many who would otherwise
have sacrificed politics for personal
friendship will now refuse to support
any candidate whose vote might con
tribute to the election of a free trade
democrat lo toe senate from the state of
Montana.
