TAPPING THE TREASURE BOX, Porsiatont and Profitable Attacks on Na- ture's Btorehouse. DELVING FOR THE GOLDEN DUST. of the Past Pale Before Pro- ‘tions of the Present and Cers tainties of the Near Future —Northwest News. Marve a Visible and unmistakable are the signs of & general and healthful revival in the Black Hills, Tho advance of competing railroads to mining camps heretoforo isolated has already stimulated the production and marketing of ore. Another season’s advance will largely increaso the output of all mines, aad make profitable many now piling up tons upon tons of ore upon the dumps. Local smelters give promise of great benefit to miners. But most fmportant in this lino is the reduction of the smelting rato by the Omaha Smelter, enabling miners to ship low grado ores at 4 profit to this city. Speaking of the general outlook the Dead wood Pioncersays :*“Men who have prospected yoar after year and constantly worked upon mines that have never brought them a cent are now full of hope, and are almost willing to stake the remainder of their working days against the poorest prospects that the south orn Hills is ou the vorge of tho biggest boom the Hills bas ever experionced. They are in earncst. Their property is now in demand is frequently being examimed by eastern speculators who are securing interests in many mining locations. Some unusually 1arge deals are on tho tapis and certain of being consummated. We arc suro to be right ‘in 1t in a short time." tvidence of the boundiess wealth of tho Hills is supptied by the old reliable Home- stake property. ‘Tho 160t monthly dividend was paid November 25, making a grand total of #,768,750 paid’ to the lucky stock- holders to date. The product of the company for Octover was the largest in any month since Decomber, 155, being §114:300, and making the toval product for the cight uonths ending October 81, $5,200,700. Withln the six months ending' September 1, the cash surplus increased $143,537 to £266,574 Valuable iron oro has been aiscovered eight miles west of Rapid City. Specimens of the ore assayed yield 72 per cent metaiic iron and of a grade that produces the best Bessemer steol. A ledge of molybdenite, a rare minoral, sa1d to be worth & an ounce, was discovered near the Margerite tin mine. Tho vein is eight fect thick. Molybdenite resombles graphite, but 1s distinguishoed from the latter by ‘a lead-gray stroak. It is found in soft, l6ad-gray, foliated masses of inolastic scales! Development in the tin district is continu- ous. Tho new mill at Hill City is ready for the machiner: The nctivity provalent in ali directions naturally infuses greater life into all dopart- ments of business. Confidence is steadily growing and cnterprise expanding. ‘Tho Black Hills is surely entering upon uu_ era of great pros perity. Border Jour nalism. The Cosur d’Alene Barbarian is abroad in search of scalps and shekels in Wallace, Iduho, and immediate vicin The first or mtroductory scalp dance gives a glimpse of the exhilarating freedom of expression and rockloss domand for soctal and faroic reform characteristic of journalism 1n a verdant mining camp. [ saluting tho starued com- munity the editor Cristo-ically exclaims: ““I'ie world mine oyster 13 Whicn I with sword shall open.” A short sermon on jackpots lenas a piquant, alr to the editorial pago. A fow excerpts will show the drift of an able-bodied “leador *Look not upon the jackpot with covetous- ness, for it is filled with costly uncertaintics, and Sorrow ana_distross follow in its train.” “*A vobtailed flush is an abomination and a sorrow toa player atall times; but whon the fifth card fits the aching void, it is a joy and a hapniness to its holder."” “A stack of blue checks is a delight to the speculator; but astack of whites is a triflo and an irritation to behold.” ““Tho roar of the ‘suckor is music to the ears of the man who wins; his lamentations are as the sighing of tho wind.” In politics the Barbarian prooses to main- tain & lurge juicy silenco, unless candidatos show & touching liberality with their “stacks.” Socwl lifo appears both varied and entertainiug. “A fresh crop of yestal virgins from Denver,” we are told, are disporting themselves in town. “Night be- fore last phraim Plungo _tried to beat four aces with a bobtail flush. Ephraim_will live on bay for somo time tocome. Tho resi- dents aro extremely tender on’ their rights and liberties and are ratber inclinod to scaring people to death. R. E. Foram struck town with @ cargo of bi- chloride of gold and a fatal desire to establish a Keeley institute. *“Today,” says the Barbarian, “his carcass hangs limp and lifeless, decoraling the tamarack pole in front of Coyote Sum's crystal palace.” Hero 1s a touching obituary : “The beautiful little flaxeu-haired twins of Colonol D. Q. Smith, Dollie and Johnnio, ato some lead concen- trates last Mouday, mistaking them for licorice drops. The aforesuid charming babes aow wear wings. Our entorprising under- taker, Mr. . B, Couse, wears u boutitle smile.” State Water Rights, Tho attsmpt of Colorado fand owners to divert the waters of the Big Laramie river from Wyoming to the former state provokea a vigorous protest from the peoplo of Wy- oming, and is likely to land in the courts at an early day, Great interests are involved in the detormination of the rights of states to the waters of nterstate streams, and “he growing unportance of irrigation must_soon bring about uniform laws in the states vitally concerned. The New York Engineering Record cites a precedent: “\When the question of increas- ing the water supply of New York was being actively discussed somo eight years ago, and & proposition was made by private partios to deliver to New York water from the Ramapo rogion, which is in New York state, on the west side of the Hudson river, by means of pipes 0ss that river, New Jorsey took steps to preveat such u diversion of the Ram- apo waier, because, like in the Wyoming case, tho natural flow was through the state, A commission was created to resist, when- ever occmsion arose, any such attompt, by appeal to the United States suprome court if necossary. The result of such au appeal, it seoms roasouablo to suppose, would o in favor of the contesting state, though in the case cited the matter was dropped and the issue avoided.” Another Ore Working Process. A secret process for working ore is being given a practicul test at Virginia City, Nev, ‘The procass 1s one discovered by the brothers Louis and Alexis Janin, By means of their discovery the Janins expect to be able to work our ores to a higher per pont than is aow being done by our mill men., Louis Janin was at one time superiutendent of the Goula& Curry mine, also was afterward con cerned in wills on Six-Mile canyon in which were worked tailings of Comstock ores, therefore no is woll acquaintod with the n ture of the material upon which he ha: undertaken Lo operate, It is in silver that the saving 13 expected to be made, [t is claimed that the gold 1 the ore will be saved as at preseut, and in adai- tion a very et e S per oeut of silver now lost. In working by the new process no change n the wachinery and apparatus at preseat in our mlls is required. Stamps and pans are used as by tho usual Comstock proce: but the chomical treatment of the pulp 1s diffor- ent; ulso thera is probably some difference in the mechanical manipulaiion of the material in the amalgamation paos. The Supphirs Fields. No compavy wes ever floated in Loudon that had suct an array of great names us the Montana Bapphire company. Men in every walk of lifo are represenied, among them Lord Chelmsford, who 1s the chairman, mar- uis of Lorue, duke of Portland, duke of .oiuster, Sir Francls Knollys, Sir Robert Moner, Marquis of Tweeddals, Lord Church- All, marquis of Breadalbane, earl of Chestor- field, carl of Mayo and many othors prowi- nentin social and business circles. Those opposed to the Montana sapphire bave con- tended that it is not & fasbionavle stone. Tt sooms, though, that tte founders of the English company should be ablo to make them popular. The entire stock of the company, £450,000, was subseribed when the books' closed in London, Novemver 3. The land to be acquired by the company is known ns the Spratt gem flelds, about 4,000 acres, on Eldo- rado and other bars, on the Missouri river, about twelve miles from Helena. One_of the largest minors of sapphire grounds and n leading promoter of this in- torest is W. B. Reed of Helena. He owns some of the best grounds, and alroady has & tine collection of uncut gems. Ho will s0on make a toip to Amsterdam to have them cut. A Gigantic Co-Operation. While the Dakotas were under territorial government the JI'armers alliance achie notable success in owning and managing elevators. Legal regulations ana state super- vision, coupled with alliance competition, curbed the power of the elevator syndicates and forced them to grant the recoiving and shippig accommodations which _distin- guished the co-operative elevators. Tho suo- cess of that movement encourages the allinnce to reach out into a wider fleld, A prominent alliance leader in South Dakota announces” that the organization pro- pos to join with many others in a co-overative interstate reciprocity schume. He says the business departments of the alliance in twenty-two states have united with leading business men of New York city and formed a_company similar in its plan of operation to the celebrated Roche dale system 1n England and to the Ziou co- operative stores of Utah. The organization has largo means at its command. It is claimed the advantages to the alliance are twofold, at least. 1t will have the bustness ability and expe rience of somo of the shrewdest men in the nation at its back, while there will appar- ontly bo plenty of capital to moet any emer- gency which may arise, and to push the business as circumstances permit. [n roturn tho allinnce will give the organization its patronage. Corur d’Alene Miner: In the extreme northwest, within a ra of nov more than 150 miles from Spokane, Wash., says Frank Leslie's, lie the richest and greatest silver-lead districts in tho world, Their present development is a matter of which to be nationally proud. “Their probable product reaches a figure sur- prising, their possible output astounding. “Think for a moment of a crescent 500 milos in extont dotted its whole length with val- uable claims! Itis not a matter to be proven; they are thero awaiting transportation to becorno mines, The Caur d'Alene district alone supports & popu- lation of 30,000. Fourteen mines ship an average of fourteon tons of concen- trates dally. To give the roader an iaca of the operation of this district in money, there are over 3,000 miners and laborers at work above and below the surface at 3 to &1.50 per day, making a daily pay roll of over £10, 000, or £3,600,000 per annum. The capacity will be doubled next season, so the sum_of 7,000,000 will be taken from this httle di tricv and put into circulation in asingle yea These figures are accurate and consequently intorosting, as they illustrato by comparison the wondarful producing power of the gi- gantic semicirclo before mentioned. Pluck and Persistency. Thirty-six years ago, in 1835, a raiding party of Bannock Indians swooped down on the shack of B. 1. Dowell, on Crow Creek, southern Ovegon, and paralyzed a mule, Mules were almost worth their weight in nuggets in those days, but Mr. Dowell wasn't porkish. Ho swore a mighty big oath and demanded $200 of Uncle Sam. ~ Through eighteen congresses and nine administrations he has been persistent in season_and out of season In pressing his claim. Vigorous, ag- gressive and persistent, ho has never been the typical disappointed ciaimant, heart-sick with waiting the slow action of an ungrate- ful government, buv rather a thorn in the flesh and un aggravation to the dilatory powers, At last his reward came, and he stood a concrete illustration of all the adages which foretell the triumph of preservance. Slowly the opposition to his demand wore away under uis constant attrition, and a fow days ago Dowell stood with Uncle Sam’s promises to pay the bearer §200 1 his hands, und that mule was paid for. e lictory. Publishing democratic newspapers in Montana is a fruitless and tedious occupa- tion. Even the all pervading ifluence of the Missourians rarely Lifts it above o char- ity existence, and few if any thrive without the roil of a millionaire or two to draw upon for sustenance. The Red Lodge Picket changed hands and politics recently. It eked a precarious liviug sounding the praises of tne democracy.

All the members of the various unions wiil not pat- ronize the Chinese aud they agree to boycott all morchants, saloon men, restaurant keop ors, hotel men and others who employ them in any way. Heads of families are requested not 10 employ Chinese as cooks or servants. The fight promises to be a hard one on tho part of the labor men. Thers are over 4,000 Chinese in Montana, and 1,600 in Butte alone. Nel ska.
