CABLE CITY-We received visit
from Capt. v. Mccartney, who has just re-
turned from Cable City, with $50 ounces of
gold bullion, the result of one-weeks run
of the Nowlan mill at Cable City, which was
cleaned up on Tuesday evening. The value
of this run is over nine thousand dollars in
currency. We are rejoiced to record this
evidence of tbs continued prosperity of Mon
tana mining operations. We know of no
man in Montana who is more worthy of these
generous yields that Mr.. Vim. Nowlan. He
possesses a mind rich in mineral knowledge,
an experience ripe with years spent among
the mines of California, Australia, and other
mineral countries, an energy that 10 indomit-
able, and business sagacity which arrives
unerriDgly at correct conclusions prompt
ly. He is one. of the few men who in life
succeed IN great enterprises. Practical men,
who have acquired a knowledge of substan-
tial business, and who have the nerve to back
up their judgment with wealth, are the kind
ne eded to develope the vast and unlimited re-
sources OF n young and growing Territory
such as ours, and we say to Mr.. Nowlan, and
all such men, wherever they may be, Hail !!
hail all hail!
RUSSIAN BATHs.-The extensive es-
tablishment Of DR.. Z. Frank, on Wood street,
in this city. has become one of the institu-
tiona of the country and is attracting great
attention throughout the Territory, ON ac-
affected by means of the medicated baths pc
culiar to the establishment. These cures are
the result of sulphur and steam baths, which
are demonstrated to have wonderful effect
upon all rheumatic and iniamatory diseases
of the system. Many Of our most prominent
citizens have tested the efficacy of these baths
and have by them been cured. No medicine
of any kind is used, either externally or in
formally, and solely by means OF the baths a
cure is guaranteed in every case where any
other remedy was powerless. DIR. Frank has
had great experience in administering these
baths, and is careful as we'll as skillful in his
treatment of patients We can cheerfully
recommend these baths to all those affected
with rheumatism, stiffness of joints, mountain
f.vers, and upon the testimony OF our best
citizens, and our personal knowledge of cures
effected, we feel safe In assuring to all strick-

HELENA AssEMBLY.-Neverd did lamps
shine brighter over fairer women and Drawer
men tkan those that gathered to crown the
winters night with blooming hours of pleas>
ure. Last nights soiree was n success. The
music was superb, the ladies beautiful and
graceful in the dance, and the gentleman
well, no matter. Every one was happy, coun-
tenances bright with pleasure, ,reHected glances
that bsamed delight, and the merry laughter
rang the changes TO the soft cadences of
dreamy waltzes that inspired with grace the
circllnG forms that moved like bewildering
maze of beauty. The dance kept on merrily
and heartily till the hours began to grow,
when the weary dancers turned homeward
feeling that it was the hsppiest Of all the
happy scenes of the season.
MIssOULA MILLs.-We were grati6ed
by visit from Mr.. Frank Worden, who has
just ed from Missoula Mills. He informs
us that the people Of that region are turning
a little attention to quartz. There is lode
called the white Cloud" situated about two
miles south of Missoula Mills and ten miles
from Fort Owen, which has been prospected
quite extensively. A shaft has been sunk
upon it to the depth of some 50 feet, and the
character of the quartz improves rs the depth
increases. We understand that Mr.. j. L.
Hervey. who erected u mill at Cable last sea-
son is taking tie mill down and proposes
erecting IL upon this lode II such l. the case
We may now look for other than agricultural
productions from this region.
We recommend that the chaste and
scholarly (?) youth who with Mills help
scr,tbles locals for the Posr. apply for po-
si;Ion on he Maseppa, where his .'delicacy"
Of nature and classical attaininents would
lave a wider field for usefulness. Il Herald.
