that with the exception of three or four NGsiOHc
Inteligeneers, sent his frst arrival, the Delegat

LOOKED UP.-On December 21st, a
local appeared in our Helena column, referring 70
q run made BY the James Stuart mill at Flint
creek. The authority Cor the run was credited TO
an item In the IndepeHdeRt taken from the Journal
Of Mnins. and quoted in that paper as having been
taken from a ST. Louis paper" The Journal of
MfnfnS ot Jan. Is, says: 1--WE give them credit for
grets that the PosT, usually accurate. should
make such a mistake" The Journal disclsims re-
sponsibilitY, general principles for articles in
instance of their receiving credit and being con.
sdered the authority for such items, generally
made up from other papers, without preferring auy
although il was desiguated ''the JouTaars figures.
the authority upon which the Journal made them
was also given in our local, and we think its
grets in this instance are quite unnecessary. The
Journal has sufficiently good reputation for
liability in Montana, and few papers can complain
Of receiving credits for what they entitled.
The Journal Is the only mining paper, so far
have seen, that has invariably given Montana that
prominence in its columns, 10 which the value Of
its minerals and actual product entities it. and for
this reason If for no other, would have made

more than that IL good TO be there The Yir
ginia City Circle, Masonic Association, had its
regular communication last evening. The atten
dance was quite large. The Circle has many more
members than last winter, and it is undoubtedly
one of the most happy, harmonious organizations
that could be organized in any community. The
Eastern Star degrees have been conferred upon
nearly all those entitled by their relationships TO
receive it-....The sale of tickets for the Charity
