The Montana post., 1869-03-26


who has Just returned from that locality,
we learn that there is great excitement In re-
gard TO the quartz prospects, The unprece-
dented success of the Green Campbell and Ste
yen's & Trevitt mills, has aroused people to the
knowledge that there Is some of the finest
quartz in that locality that can be found In
the whole Territory. Everyone owning
quartz instead of being anxious 20 sell, expe-
rience a desire to prospect, and Developments
are being made to a great extent Several
owners of quartz mills and gentlemen repre-
senting mining companies, are in the district
examining lodes and the probability is that
before the expiration of summer many mills
will be at work.
HUNTERS Reconstruction our
Boremau correspondent, cd. W., 1--WE learn that
a portion of the Indian hunters returned on
Thursday. The entire herd of Meadows
cattle were found in good condition. The
Indian trail was struck and followed some
distance down the Yellowstone, and the only
indications discovered as to what tribe they
belonged, was a Crow moccason- The rest of
the party remained behind to reconnoiter and
search for the missing man. II. II. Noel,
Sam Moore and young man by the name of
Crowl, formerly clerk in A. T. Stewards
establishment, New York City, are the parties
missing, and if not killed, are undoubtedly
starved ere this time.
RUNAwAY.-A large and spirited horse
ran away yesterday evening with a mere child
that some one had placed en- its back. The
horse w@ stopped by some citizens or the
child would have most certainly been thrown
and perhaps received mortal injury. The
practice, too prevalent in our city, of allow
ing chiIeren to ride unattended, cannot be
too severely deprecated, So far no accidents
have happened, but at any moment they are
liable to be killed or reduced to the condition
of a cripple, so to go through life, a regret
to their friends and a burden to themselves.
DISTRICT CoURT.-The great case of
Kleinschmidt Duer vs.. Dunphy ct al. Is still
occupying the attention of the Court. The
evidence will be concluded this morning and
the arguments of counsel will occupy the
greater part of to-day and Tuesday, when 1t
will be given to the jury.
VIRGINIA CITY ITEMs.-From the
Democrat we learn that st. Patrick's Day was
observed with great effect, the procession was
very fine and creditable. The Address of
Judge Hosmer was beautiful, truthful and
able;" the ball and supper passed of in superb
style, and the entire exercises of the day sat
isfactory TO every one. The Democrat sug-
gests the fact that clean shirts improve the
appearance of everyone and recommends the
cif To rat of
xxx Gallatin -four arrived, and was disposed
of to friend Bailey of Nevada, cheap.
CAVE GULcH.-From Mr. B. w. Leigh
ton, just in from this mining camp, we learn
that drifting has been going on all winter
with very favorable results. MarshalPs ditch,
which conducts water from Magpie gulch,
will be open In about three weeks, and min
ing will :hen commence for the season in
earnest. There is some of the richest mining
ground in this gulch of any in the Terri
tory.
MAlL.-The coach came in Saturday
evening loaded with eight sacks of papers.
We did not notice any one bowling because
Wells, Fargo Co. threw paper sacks off in
the chuck holes. We understand the bulk
of the mail tonight is composed of papers,
and there are IN all twenty sacks to come.
It's a delightful season for all those who
I are so fond of papers.
/ ACCIDENT.-As Ches Travis was driv.
/ ing team down street yesterday the carriage
became uncoupied, Ches went with the fore
part, and in trying to become master of the
situation he received few injuries, though
not of a serious nature.
INDIANS HUNG.-From a private let.
ter it seems there were two Indians hung 70,
the murder of an employee of the Diamond
r, Train some time ago. Strange that whites
will be SO cruel as to hang poor Indians fol
killing just one man.
