,Ardens! A story is told us of a returned
Phoebe miner which takes the wind out
of Tennyson. He had been in the Ne
vada mines about six years, his wife
hearing nothing of HIM in the meantime.
Believing him to be dead she yielded to
the solicitations of an old sweetheart,
aud married him. Time rolled on, and
progeny rolled in. A few weeks ago
Enoch Arden returned home and went
after his wife. tie saw his successor and
all the infants, and then the green-eyed
lobster didn't fasten on him with airy
claw. He went for that new husband
and booted him out OF the house, sorting
out his children and sent them blubber-
ing after their daddy He then gave his
wife a whaling and is now the model
head of a happy family. 1t wont do to
fool with the boys who have had little
mountain experience.
Rich SILVER ORE. - Our Montana
patrons will read the following with in
terest, from the Helena Herald OF late
date: "We were shown to-day some very
r.ch silver ore specimens from the Wash
ington lode, Cherry Creek District The
ore had been subjected to the heat of q
small blow-furnace, and was literally COW
cred with silver blsters. We are told
that the Washington lode has crevice
averaging about II inches, which yields
4 ore assaying about 81 900 per ton. This
\ lode is but one of hundreds in this and
other silver districts of Montana that
Y must await the coming of that capital
n and machinery which ever follow, but
seldom precedes, the building of II rail-
road into mining countries.
ALLEGED OvER-Es11MArE. the item
published in our paper last week on
pneumonia and its unusually fatal results
here, we are assured, by those who ought
1 to be best posted ON the subject, that We
greatly over-estimated the per centage O.
cases which prove fatal. 1t is claimet
that when we deduct from the total mum
Der of deaths those in which the diseas,
was caused by dissipation and aggravat
ed by exposure and neglect, the per cent
age of fatality will be as small as any
n where in the world. 1t is an undeniabl
fact that deaths from pneumonia rarel
y occur here among women and children
\ those who have comfortable homes.
i ANOTHER SNow-sToRM.- Sunday nigh
4 we had another heavy snow storm. TIL
n fall lasted the greater part of the night
4 There is now almost as great depth c
snow as there was ten days ago. 1t mus
nj prove great drawback to mining, q
N we'll as other interests. 1t will be almo:
ID impossible for days to come to have OF
- hauled to the mills in sufficient quaint
ties to keep the mills running; and thel
sM are immense amounts of merchandis
I'M between here and Lehi and Palisade-a
HI ready long on the road-which will
III still further delayed.
MIsREpREsENTs Us.-The State Journ
recklessly says "the RECORD, the Wig
ance Committee and the Coron
are all in together" If warning
community against the fearful co
sequences of anarchy, and urgil
magistrates and peace officers to perfor
their duties SO thoroughly that there "
4 be no necessity of the people taking thu
protection in their own hands, Is the a
vocacy of Vigilance Committee, tn
we are its advocate. But our conserv
tlsm don't 60 so far as to deny the nsct
sity OF popular tribunals under any Al
all circumstances.
The Eureka Sentinel calls us to {
count for saying, in On item announce
the resumption Of stage travel betwe
Hamilton and Palisade, denying that t
travel had ever been interrupted
= that line. We supposed our informant
was from an authentic source. If Mess
Woodruff & Ennor were able to vii
stand the epizootic without missing
connection, we are pleased to hear it, a
cheerfully record the fact to their cred
81 or as evidence of their good fortul
\ whichever it may be.
