Helena, Montana, Thursday, September 16, 1876.

to get that time-piece Then he got sleepy,
and hid the watch between the beds. After
five minutes he put it under the bed. He
felt easy for ten minutes, and then bid it in
one of his boots, and hid the boot under the
bed.
Dreams came to that young man as he
finally slept The old white horse came and
stood over him with tears in his eyes, and
then turned around and swallowed the watch.
Thieves broke in and stole it. His sisters
red-headed baby bit it square in two. 1t took
legs and ran away from him. At midnight
he awoke, saw the moon was up, and as he
got into his clothes he said to himself
''It's only eight miles home, good going,
and dunn me Fl don't walk right in on the
hull family fore daylight.'
We all differ, you know, in our makeup,
but then that was his first watch, and who
could blame him?

Saul and Jonathan.

From the Territorial (Nev) Enterprse.]
After all that has been said by indicative
press about MIR. Sharon, his words, rs re-
ported in the San Francisco Chronicle, will
give the people of the East new idea of the
man: Il am worth $15,O0O,O00 in solid
wealth and permanent real estate. Mr.. Raj
ston was my friend through him made it,
and will devote the full half of it before
there shall come a stain upon his honor"
No one who knows the man will doubt for a
moment the full sincerity of his words. He
is reticent and cautious, and is as careful of
promises as he is careless of reproaches and
abuse. The best love of his nature was given
to Mr.. Ralston. They for years were giants
battling together for common victory, both
bold, both aggressive, both confident in their
native resources, and each leaning upon the
other when the battle was sore. One is gone,
and the other has come down from his golden
throne to battle with the throng, lest they
bear away the honor of the fallen. The
acute brain is making its combinations now,
not to pile up wealth-not to add a few mil
lions, more or less, to the millions already
gathered-but to do an act which shall pierce
the ear of death and give benediction to the
sepulcher of him who has passed away. We
need not say this is very extraordinary. 4
friendship which lasts beyond the grave,
which holds the honor of friend which is
now but dust as something more precious
than houses, or lands, or gold, is very rare in
this world, and the people OF the East, more
than we here, who are accustomed to gener-
Gus impulses, will wonder at it, and ask one
another, "What manner of men are they
upon the Western Coast of our country, who
hold their treasures so lightly and their friend
ships so dear?"

Richard Grant White says: 81 have re-
marked one fact which l haye never seen
recorded, and which on mentioning it to ac-
countants and teachers, | have found to be
new to them, to my surprise, that the CON-
bnations of 8 always produce figures which
are either 8 or the sum of which is 8. Thus:
8, 1S, q, 45, "a, 63, 72, 81, 80, 80, 10S, 1T,
1876, etc. The reason of this remarkable fact
l do not pretend or hope to understand but
it is none the less a safe guide"

FIRST GOLD MINING H.. MONTANA.
Where and by Whom the First Work
done.

Granville Stuart, one of the first pioneers
of this Territory, furnishes the NortAaces1
with the following facts concerning the first
mining done in Montana The dates are
from memorandum book still in the pos
session of Mr.. Stuart, and the authority is
unqucstionable
1.-The first diggings in Montana where
sluicc-bOXeS were used was on Gold Greek,
about one mile west of Pioneer City, where,
in the summer Of 1860, Henry Thomas, bet
ter known as ''Gold Tom," hewed out four
small sluicc-boXeS about s or inches wide,
and about ten feet long, and which he put
together with wooden pins for want of nails,
and with which he worked over two months
that summer, and about a month in the sum-
mer of 1861, washing off the surface from
3 to feet deep, making from $1.O0 to so
a day. He also, during the first summer,
aided 10y a man (name forgotten from Bitter
Root Valley, sunk shaft about 20 feet deep
in his diggings, and in the summer of 1861
he alone and unaided sunk that shaft 10 feet
deeper, or about 30 feet in all. He would
descend and fill ibis rude bucket, and then
climb out and hoist it up with his lariat on
windlaSs that he also made without nails.
While working there in 1861 he showed
James and Granville Stuart, then living at
the mouth of Gold Creek, what money he
took out. The amount is forgotten, but most
of it was in pieces weighing from 10 to Is
cents
His sluice-boXes and windlass are still
Mere, and may be seen by the incredulous.
1t is the intention of the Historical Society
to remove and preserve them, they being the
first ever used in mining in Montana.
The next sluices used was set of nine
lOX12 inch boxes, which were started run
ming in ''Pinc Tree Gulch," on Gold Creek,
on the Sth day of May, 1862, by James and
Granville Stuart, Thomas Adams, f. II. Burr
and John w. Powell.
The next was set of the same size, put in
operation in Pioneer Gulch, about one-fourth
of a mile above Pioneer City, by p. w. Nc
Adow and a. s. Blake, about the 18th Of
May, 1862. The next suices were started
by VIM. b. S. Higgins in Pioneer, just above
Blake Il Meadow about the same time, and
still another set was started near them by
Stuart 4 Co. about the Goth of May, 1862
And at the time Of the discoce'y on the other
Pioneer diggngs, at the head of Big Hole,
there were some twenty men who had been
slucng over two months on Pioneer and
Gold Greeks, in the vicinity of the present
town of Pioneer
