We publish else where from the Herald an
account of an apparently concerted effort to
destroy the city of Helena by fire. Six at
tempts were made in one night, all occurring
after IL O'Clock. They were well laid plans.
and it seems Providential favor that they
did not succeed. 1t seems impossible that
such villainons natures, capable OF pcrpetrat-
ing crime so mohstrous and hideous as to
make ones blood almost curdle to con- em-
plate it and the probable results following
its successful consummation; we say it seems
impossible that such monsters are permitted
to live and have bciLg upon the. face OF Gods
earth. Several attempts have been made
before to fire the city at various times, bu,
Sunday night last seems to have been select
ed to make the work Of destruction certain
and complete. The city was fired in five diff
fcrcnt places. either OF which would have de-
veloped into a general connagrataon. but tor
timely discovery. Incipient as these efforts
proved, on account OF q seemingly Pr0yideli-
tial interference, the aggregate losses sus-
tanned will foot up several thousand dollars.
This truly alarming state OF affairs should
awake the citizens of Helena to the necessity
OF a summary expulsion from her mi.lst Of
every suspicious character, and Of those not
having some visible means Of support.

The Sixteen Mile Mines.

A nelghboring journal, few weeks since.
took occasion to indirectly disparage the
Sixteen Mile silver mines, by lnslnuating that
we were giving them more prominence in
our columns than their intrineic worth justi-
fled. Though we claim we have from the
beginning written of them with caution, be-
ing careful to first ascertain the reliability OF
our data before giving publicity to our con-
illusions, yet we have predicted that they
wdald prove in their development the most
important mining camp Of Montana ; and
now we can repeat this prediction. and with
still stronger confidence. We mainly base
our sanguine hopes on the facts that the
Ilomessake vein carries an immense body OF
ore, th,t it is in the true silver mine forma-
tio:r, and can be traced by its heavy cr"ppin $
its eutire length. No other vein in the Terri
tory is 50 similar in these characteristics to
the great ComstOck lode of Nevada !; and
then the ore in some OF the Sixteen Mile
mines is incomparably richer than the COM
stock ores. We have before us certificate
OF assay procured by Mr. Jacob Gum. one Of
the principal owners of Sixteen Mile district,
in Sacramento, which returns S325.H III sill
yer to the ton. The assayer made no return
Of the other meta!s-lead, copper and gold
but offers to pay 1925 per ton for ore deliver
ed in Sacramento. The ore assayed was con-
siL..r. Il ). f.i. average Of tho vein. Assay
in the Territory from the very same ore re-
turned only 50 a ton in silver, with but q
tracing Of gold. The Sacramento assay is
confirmed by assays III Chicago and San
Francisco. We again asscr. that the Sixteen
Nile silver mines are our first hope OF tie
immediate future.
