MONTANA lTEMs.-From the Radiator
of April Ith, We condense the following:
SnaIts recently sunk in " French Gulch,"
OOrnerly known as 'Greenh)rn,' , develo lopcd
the fact thu. that locaity--once thought not
worth working-is very rich. From cne Of
these shafts forty eight dollars was obtained
from one painful of dirt.

Discoveries made in Montana Gulch have
caused something IT buz in Diamond City. |
The head of the Eulch down to No. I, had .
been thought worthless, but the biggest kind /
Of prospects had been struck up there.
Not less than three thousand miners are /
already in the Elk Creek diggings, and ,
great hopes are entertained Of the future OF
this camp Mining operations as yet have
been limited, bat a> far as prosecuted have |
proved satisfactory AMI cGcuurnEing. 1t Is I
thought that they @iii prove among the most
lasting and extensive EiIcers ever discover
ed. Water is abundant and easily acc -sslble.
The farmers of the Missouri, below Dia> !
mond City, are making extensive prepara'
tions for farming operations. Several huns
dred acres of wheat, barley and oats will be
sown in that locality, and an amount OF veg
etabes put in that will meet the demands oi
the mining population. >.
Several new lodes have been discovered IN
Meagher county-both gold and sllVer-suP-
posed to be very rich. ,,
The Vigilance Committee give notice that
Justice will be administered in the future as

murderers will be hung up without unneces>

The Radidtor urges that Montana at once
takes steps looking toward State organiza,
ton. Various and cogent reasons are urged
in favor of the measure; but sifted all down
lhey-amount to this-certain aspiring men
desire to occupy seats in the Senate and
House of Representatives, and to gratIfy
their ambition the expenses incident to
State Organization are to be prematurely pre-
cpitated upon the people. If our Montana
ncighbors are wise they will nip this scheme
in the BUD.
THE PATH TO HAPPINESS. William
Wri,'s letter to his daughter on the "smaIl
sweet courtesies of life" contains passage
from which a deal of happiness might be
learned: "TKe way to make yourself pleas
ing to others is to show them attention. Ihe
wbole world is like the Miller of Mansfield.
