Mr_riitank .2 5 , 1 KENDALL CHRONICLE Published weekly where the big mines are situated. E. R. CLEVELAND Editor and Proprietor. SOIllICIIPT1011 ExTge: One Year . VAS Six Months .5.1.25 Pay in advance and avoid the disagreeable dututiug letter. An Incentive for Work. Between now and the time when snow begins to fall thete is certain to he a vast amount of prospecting work done in this district, and where this work is performed it) an intelligent manner the results are likely to be satisfactory. There is a vast mineral- ized section in the North Moccasins that has been practically tintouched by the hand of the mining man. A trip over .these mountains Till bring to light the fact that only in widely. separated Spots has the prospector's pick touched the ground. Here and there a hole is du . ;, a tunnel run into :the hill a few feet, or an open cut made. It is often , the case that this work is undertaken merely to represent assessment require- ments. This method of mining re- sults in little good. Ledges and ore de- posites are not to be found by this un- practical method. Utifortunately too much of this kind of work has already been done in this district. But it is gratifying to know that men of energy, thrift and means are taking hold and soon the district will be thoroughly exploited. The two big mines already opened up, and yielding handsomely, should be an incentive to others to go ahead and open up the bodies of ore that are known to exist outside the Kendall and Barnes -King properties. The district has made a magnificent start along the road to wealth and importance. A yeat's labor has demonstrated much; it has proven that there are two mines here that have no superiors anywhere in Mon- tana; that there's other ground equally as rich in gold -bearing ore, is cer- tain to be demonstrated sooner or later. Another year of active develop- ment work will verify the truth of this statement. The Prerailing Spirit. The spirit of discontent over exist- ing conditions seems to be more pre- valent among the working classes this year than formerly, notwithstanding wages are higher now than ever before. True the cost of living is greater . than for some years past, but according to statistics the advanced wages ovircome the higher cost of living. So the dis- position to strike for still better pay is not the outgrowth altogether of inade- quate conipensation. There must be other causes at work, causes that are not observable to the general public. The fact is, mans ideals are changing more rapidly than his condition. 'I he desire for something he does :not possess is so great that there seems to be no alternative but to demand more pay. At the same time there is an in- clination to work fewer hours. It is noticeable that working men, much as they desire money, are more willing to accept pay for an eight -hour day than to work nine or ten hours for the proportionately greater comdensation , There are those who View with con- cern this unrest among those who win bread by daily toil. But there need be little worry on that score. Revolu- tions do not go backward. The law of evolution is a just one, anC),human- ity is traveling upward. Strikes, dis- content, and labor agitation generally, are but incidents attending thejourney. Some Weather Observations. The excessive fall of rain during the closing week of June and the first week in July seems to have characterized the weather not only throughout Mon- tana, but in the states of Washington and Oregon. ihe Fourth of July was a wet one. In Spokane, for instance, rain tell not only on the Fourth, but on the day preceding it and for two days following. The weather clerk cut pranks in the east also. The telegraph has told of intense rain storms, and the destruc- tion -of much property. No special section is selected for these abnormal downpours. Localities that usually suffer from lack of moisture at this season are buidened with excessive moisture, and so it goes. The attempt is often made to prove that the climatic conditions in the United States are changing, and occassionally figures are offered , to prove these assertions; but the evi- dence, when carefully analized, does not bear out such intimations. On the contrary, ffie carefully taken obser- vations by the weather bureau, prove that the weather of one decade does not differ perceptibly from that of an- other. Of course a dense population or the presence of a city will cause some change to occur in the weather of that immediate vicinity, from what it was when the land was unoccupied. But upon the whole the climate of the United States is little different in 1902 from what it was in 1802, Of 1702. Climatic changes are about as slow as geological changes, and that is very slow indeed as we count time. So when the statement is maae by some \old-timer\ for instance that \the weather of today is not, what it was when I was a boy,\ etc., the oboo: vation need nOt be taken very serious- ly, for there is nothing in it. The earth's vegitation teaches us that climatic changes are slow indeed. Harry Tracy, the Oregon murderer, that has made it so exciting for are officers, commenced his doviltry in' 1896. es a boy, riding the range in Wyoming he robbed a store and after serving a few months in jail made his escape. While such cold-blooded fear- less fellows as Tracy often cause the officers of the law a vast amount of trouble and while they sometimes go a long time before meeting with their just desert's, it is as certain \as the night doth follow the day\ that they are finally overtaken by the law. None of them ever escape the penitentiary or the noose if they persist in their evil course. The ena of a criminal career is in k4ping with it. The law of retri- bution is a fixed one and it can not be set aside or ignored.
