vote on the Capital Law. They figure W
\ majority for Helena. The Secretary
acted IN 4 dual capacity in his Proper
Office and is Governor, and issued a pro

government of the Territory. This action
was utterly unexpected by the residents o.
this city, who supposed that the parties

this matter in this aper.

Just had the coolest snap ever exp riencsd
in Virginia City. The thermometer reg
,s,ered 20 degrees below zero, when at lie
lowest. The ..o.dcst inhabitant'' sffirms
that this Las Eever been beaten for cold
since the discovery Of Alder Gulch-and
he's an individual that was never known
to speak crookedly.

1t is believed that on the night of We'd
nest!ay, January 18th, the degree of tenn
perature in Deer Lodge was fifty-five 10
sixty degrees below zero.
Mr.. Joseph Ramsdell in driving from
Deer Lodge to his home four miles below
in the storm of last Saturday nigh: got lost
and was out all night lie WAS pretty near
but not quite frozen.
Mr.. Geo. w. Irwin, Under Sheriff. who
was absent couple of weeks in Beaver
head county, returned this week. He had
a pretty close call for FRI ezing or one oc-
casion but got into quarters. George was
up in Trapper district and says that they
may talk all they will Of the Coms:ock
Bonanza" but there is q wealth SO fabu
lous in Trapper that the smallest owner
will discount Sharon in few years And
he is not more than half in j.s, about II

THE WAITER
This has been the al!-absobing topic fol
the paet'en days during which time the
mercury has rarely, If ever, been above
zero and generally from twenty to forty
dcgr es below. On three suct essive nights
congeaIed before midnight. Last
Wednesday night was the coolest ever
known here. The town wac developed in
= dense fog of frost particles that pricked
like D. edles. The degree of cold-thcre
being no spirit thermometer available
was estimated Ut fifty five to sixty degrees
below zero. This is probably correct as 1t
was 50 degrees below in Silver Bow, less
exposed point than this. There have been
no regular systematic observations kept
and recorded, and the variations of differ
ent thermometers hsve been remarkable
even with like exposure Granville Stuart
