Montana Legislature Nears End of Session Without Extra Session
Special correspondence reports rapid progress in the Montana legislature with focus on county officers salaries and the eight hour law. The counties are divided into three valuation classes affecting pay scales for sheriff, assessor, clerk, and other officials. The eight hour bill faces strong mining industry opposition, while joint memorials on mineral lands advance. The senate leads in passing several measures, and most members expect no extra session though two weeks remain.

Millionaire near miss sparks tale of copper claim scheme
Gen John A Wiley recounts a Tucson Arizona copper deal that nearly made him a $3,000,000 holder. A prospector’s false closing kept the fortune from realization while Flood and Mackay later paid $100,000 to the original finder. The Copper Queen mine’s fate underscores the missed windfall and a colorful era of mining hype.
