THE SUMPTER MINER. Wednesday, June 6, igco '4 THE GENTLEMAN FROM COLORADO. Makes a Few Remarks the Game of Politics. on "I haven't been addressing Till: MlNliU'S large '"id ever Increasing clientele with words of wisdom of late, for two or three reasons", said the gentle man from Colorado Monday evening, as he stood watching are listening to a crowd of men who were guessing and speculating and bluffing on the result of the election. "One reason, and the prin cipal one, Is that I have been prospecting a claim out on the Cracker creek district, on which I have taken a bond. Now, am not going to tell you about that prop erty and voil you for a free wrlteup, be cause I'm not yet yet ready to cast the fly -though the lisli are 'rising' In these parts at present in a most enticing manner. I'll use you to cut halt for me later on, and will guarantee that you will not be aware of the humble employ ' merit you will then be engaged in; for that is an important branch of the mining business of which I have made a special ' study, and in which I rather prided my self on having attained some little lill. Take thet currency question for Instance ' I don't be alarmed and Rive me the shake, j I I'm not going to discuss the silver issue I I never do. A man who differs from me I on that question, hasn't sense enough to I argue anything and I never waste words 1 on an irredeemable blockhead. I was mere- i ly going to remark I'm sorry you imist go; I was about to tell you something worth printing. When I cut that 40-foot i ledge of Golconda rock over in the Crack-, er creek district, I'll buy you a saucer of strawberries, tell you a story and give you a scoop on your despised contempo rary." ' Montana'! Mineral Production Hon. Eugene Rraden,assayer in charge! of the United States assay office at Helena, Montana, has just completed his annual report on the mineral production of his state for the year 1800, which shows an Increase over the year previous of seventeen millions, a record of which every resident of Montana can well feel i proud. The output of the precious and base metals Is given in detail by Mr. Hraden, as follews: Gold, 54,1110,156.05; silver, 521,786,8)4.52; copper, 540,941,-1 005. 74; lead, 5goo.410.3j. With the ex ception of gold a marked increase is noted in the production of all the metals, the increase in the copper output being especially marked. The increase in the number of mills uselng the cyanide pro cess of reduction promises to greatly in crease the production of gold in Montana during the present year.
