LIINIP CITY, MONT., JULY 27, Heil Coder Sanders is afflicted with yellow myopia. - Re ought to fol- low Lee Mantle to the Arkansas Hot Springs.—Marisville Messes- ger. _ In the words of the famous Chicago eoniedian. John Dillon, Col. Sanders will \get himseit awfully disliked,\ unless he cop- pers his statements on the silver question. The \thing\ temporarily in charge of the Basin Times hastens to apologize for his master. Stick to your legitimate calling of boom- ing prospect holes—you are out of place in capital fights, political con- troversies ov,arguments with gen- tl%men. \Business is improving,\ shout the gold bug organs for so much a line. But we have had the wool pulled over our eyes long enough. We want a \permanent improve- ment of business\ and will be sat- isfied with nothing else. The res- toration of silver will alone ac- complish this object. The Silver ‚ Craze. In the blind hope of casting dis- credit upon the rising tide of the free silver movement, the gold bug press of the east is daily publish- ing items to the effect that the \silver craze\ is dying out, and that the \silver crank\ is disap- pearing. If there was a semblance of truth in their statements it would be a sad commentary upon the intelligence of a crvilized people; but their falsity is better understood by no one than those who pen them. Nor do they an- ticipate that such statements will influence the opinion of a single individual who has given the sub- ject of free silver and its relation to the prosperity of our country and people any thought or investi- gation. But it is the man who has uot yet begun to think, and there is no better way than by leading him to believe that the subject is a passing craze. The American people are not naturally politicians or students of political, or eco- nomic questions. The gsowth and development of our country has been so rapid and our people too much engrossed with the cares of. business, and in the pursuit of for- tune, to give matters of political importance that thought and atten- tion which they deserve. And it has been the business of profes- sional politicians to throw a halo of obscurity aboutall groat nation- al questions, and so clothe them with high sounding and meaning- less termo that the ordinary indi- vidual is amazed at their intricacy and appalled at their immensity. The question of finance, ot the relation of free and unlimited coin- age of silver to the material de_ eloprnent and industrial prosper ity of the country has, through the TIRE LUMP CiTY MINIM: LUMP VITT, MONTANA. efforts of the advocates of free sil- ver, been stripped of its useless verbiage, and the cardinal princi- ples of • sound mosey, based upon sound sense and reason, made 80 clear that he Who funs may read, and the way made so plain that a man, \though a fool,\ need not err therein. It is this that has caused cpusternation in the gold bug camp and startled the money sharks of Wall street, and leads a subsidized press, not into an in- telligent argument of the question, but to adopt their present method of distracting attention from the movement by referring to it as a craze and its advocates as cranks. Assessment Work. The time approaches when assessment work for the current year must be done, and thus early we call the attention of prospectors and claim holders in Lump gulch and vicinity t() the fact that this is a point that must not be overlook- ed this year in circler to retain un- disputed , posselieion of your prop- erty. A prospect that is worth lo- cating and holding for a year ought certainly to be worth doing the assessment work on, and a miner cannot put up too many fences around his property. This is par- ticularly true of the mines in Lump where, when ore is once discover- ed it is liable to be permanent and rich. There are few silver pro- duoing camps in the United States to -day that can work at a profit for the present price of silver; there- fore it needs no argument to sub- stantiate the fact that assessment work should be early attended to and the law complied with in Lump. In this connection we cannot help but remark that the man who has twenty-four locations, (and there is a certain man in Helena . who has been holding twenty-seven locations in this gulch during.the past year, we are informed,) will probably have his hands full when he commences to do his assess- ment work. The sum of $2,700 is quite a sum to expend in doing annual representation, and the probabilities are that he will be watched pretty close to see that he does it. • Mining in Old Mexico. Mining in Mexico is not in a de- pressed condition because of the low price of silver. This particu- lar industry is prosperous there. The peso or dollar and onza Mexi - cane is now, and always was, oil its equality or standard ratio of $1.21 to one ounce. The peso or onza buys as much to -day of all the ne- cessaries of life as it always did, and the man in Mexico wh, works out his silver mine ha- ne er felt or known that silver Las dropped in value. On the contrery, he has been largely benefitted ty the drop in silver, as most mines contain in addition gold and other metals which are always paid for aceord- ing to the gold standard; that is, for his silver he in turn receives his silver in dollars, and there can be no loss, while for hie gold he receives from $36 to $38 per ounce ineilver, says the Mining and Soien- tific Press. Undet\°the new Mexican law mining is especially encouraged. The preliminary denouncennqit of a mine costs from $15 to $25 awl re- quires publication in the official paper of the capital of the state for ninety consecutive days. At the end, if the party desires a pat- ent, he pays the federal treasury $10 for each pentencia 325 feet square; hereafter an annual tax is demanded of $10 per pentencia, and no further obligation or work is required. Prices vary from re- sponsible positions at $4 per day to $1..2i, which, when the capital comes in gold from the outside and is exchanged into Mexican silver makes it doubly ()heap. Ifundre•ls of mines in Melly, are paying handsome dividends, which in the States c,old not be worked at all under tile present silver depres sion. The famdus Candelaria mine, which has paid its successive own- ers in the course of 200 years over $150,000,000, is now working on ore which pans only $25 to $28 per ton. The San Dimas district, in which the Caudelaria is situated, is said to be the richest in Mexico. Most of the large mines there a r e in the hale a of Americans. The Candelaria, owned by T. M. Burns and Clarence Materiame, of Han Francisco; a group of mines be- longing to the Hearst, Hagi._;in Company; the Coronado property of J. N. E. Wilson, and the Prom- ontores, an old mine recently ac- quired by F. M. Ochoa and other San Franciscans. All these mines except the latter, are low grades of free milling gold ores, while the Promontores hardly gee. ten per cent. above the others. It is the present advantage of exchange and cheap labor which more than any- thing else makes these profitable. And now comes Secretary Car- lisle and sir; he don't want to be president. This is really too bad, as the representative of the gold standard he would be backed by Wall street and he could make a campaign on no uneertain issue. At a meeting of the Democratic free silver editors of Missouri, held at Sedalia on the 24th inst., United States Senator F. M. Cock- rell, spoke on the financial issue. He said the pending financial issue is simply whether the single stand- ard of gold shall be continued or a true bimetallic system shall be re- stored. He did not give his ideas as to what a \true - bimetallic sys- tem shall be, but advocated the restoration of bimetallism as a remedy for existing evils. He also ridiculed the idea that the agita tion of the silver question will divide the democratic party. After Secretary Carlisle's famous speech on the meaning of \sound curren- cy\ as understood by the present administration and as is now being expounded by the Secretaiy of the Interior, in Georgia, it is hard to reconcile Senator Cockrill's utter- ances in favor of bimetallism, as being in accord with the present democratic party. It may be true, however, and probably is that the present administration does not represent Jacksonian democracy so far as finance is concerned, but it represente the machinery of the democratic party and is backed by \boodle\ and will make a strong fight for party control during the coming campaign, and it will then be necessary for Senator Cockrill and other leading Democrats to define their ideas of true bimetall- ism; and if they are true friends of silver, as they olaim, and desire its restoration on as favorable a basis as it occupied before the act of 1873, there will be a fight in the Democratic party and if it is not split, it will be because there are a sufficient number of honest intelli- gent eel patriotic men in the party to overcome the influence of Wall street which now dominates the administration at Wash iiigton. Any one who has been in Luneté City during the past week and seen the number of four -horse teams and single teams hauling ore down the gulch, and has not been con- vinced that we are here to stay, • and that the future of the camp is assured would be a veritable doubt- ing Thomas. The Independent takes excep- tions to what it terms ««Casey's fool statement\ that Cleveland bought his election to the presi- dency by a monetary deal with New York brokers of gold standard proclivities, and then proceeds to extoll Cleveland's honest motives. His motives may be honest, but that his financial - policy has been dictated from Wall street is too well known and understood to be denied. And that he is the most obstinate, pig-headed individual that ever sat, in the presidentai chair is a fact that his most ardent admirers are compelled to admit. There are Iota of republican bigwigs in Montana who are joist hopping to follow Sander'e example and make a bee line for the gold bug bag. It's the dickens and all to be caught between bases—Independent. The Independent is all right on the silver question, but if it proves as good a democrat as Sanders has a republican, will it find itself in the gold bug camp in '96? That there will soon be estab- lished a line of steamers plying be- tween the United States and Japan seems to be an assured fact. When trade is thus opened up its effect will be felt througout the norh- west, and Montana will contribute her quota of business. The Bannock Indians are again on the warpath. The only way to take the fight out o an Indian is to educate him, and the government should proceed to educate them at once—with a gatling gun. ALHANIBRA SPRINGS HOTEL. A. P. READ, - - Lessee, L. S.
