you very sincerely for this very cordial
welcome given us this evening. l am quite
sure that nothing could be more satisfactO-
~ than hearty reception like this. The
school children-girls, with hewers-was a
token of the good feeling you have, not
only toward us, but all our countrymen Of
every state. If there is any sentiment that
has guided what We have done, it has been
for common nationality. 1t has been our
desire to do something for the people of
all the states. We have felt that the war
should end, and that peace should spread
through all our borders. We hope, as a
result of this, that men shall no longer

Barr Butte Silver.

We observed yesterday in the bank
ing house of Stebbins, Wood Il Post,
five bars of silver bullion from the
Merritt silver mine No. 2, Bare Butte.
This is the first shipment of twelve
hundred pounds fourteen bars) from
the same smelling. 1t is from surface
ore, and, of course, of low grade COM
pared with that which lies below.
In the reduction of this ore, no zinc
or anthony has been found, as in the
refractory ores of Colorado. This
being the fact, the reduction Of silver
ores of Bare Butte is accomplished with
as little trouble OIL expense, compare
lively, rs the reduction of our gold ore.
In the excitement Of the search after
new quartz gold fields in the Hills,
much attention has been detracted
from the Bare Butte silver district, a
region that now looks likely to prove
the Comstock of Dakota. b. H. Pho

Death OF Mrs. s. E. NuekolIs.

Mrs. S. +. Nuckolls. wife of our for
mer fellow citizen, Col. Nuckolls, died
in Salt Lake last Wednesday night.
The cause of her death was general
debility, she having been failing for a
number of years, but not until Tuesday
did her physicians lose hope, and con-
clude that her life would be spared but
n few short hours. What makes this
event more painful to the bereaved hus-
band is the fact that he was absent
from salt Lake, being in the Sweet
water mines, whittier he recently went
on business. lie reached home Thurs
day evening. Mrs. Nuckolls was so
years of age, and IA a most estimable
lady in every respect-devoted to her
husband, children and friends, and
esteemed and respected by all who en-
joyed her acquaintance. She leaves
four sons, the youngest about 8 years of
age.

With the rise Of ycsterday's = the
spirit Of Father McGoldrick left its
earthly tabernacle, and assembled to the
realms above. Calmly, peacefully, as
had been his life, he passed away, leav-
ing a multitude OF earnest and sincere
parishioners to mourn his early de-
parture.
Young in years, but old in learning
and ripe experience, and distinguished
by great devotion to his sacred calling,
Father McGoldrick at once gained the
respect and soon the love of his con-
gregation, after taking charge of the
parish of t.St. Mary of the Plains In
this city. Although over restrained in
his efforts for his people by the malady
which finally cut his young life short,
he performed a great amount of spir-
itual work among his fellow Catholics
in this section, after taxing his strength
heavily and straining the tender chord
to the utmost limit. 1t was such an
extraordinary effort which brought on
the crisis of his disease, and which
fastened this end.
We have had a long, intimate per-
sonal acquaintance with the deceased
we have known him eyer as a kind and
generous friend; we have witnessed
many instances of his kindness OF
heart, honesty of purpose and purity OF
nature. His love for the truth and al
the qualities that the best teachers OF
religion wish to have inculcated in the
hearts of men, was eye apparent in his
daily intercourse with his fellow man.
We remember his great sorrow man.
ifested at the bedside of his little
friend, Mary Mclaughlin, whose last
hours he made so beautiful by giving
to the little sufferer the comforting
promises Of a holy religion, and AT
whose funeral he preached 50 clio
q~uently and t%ouchingly, showing how
deep he felt, with the parents and
friends, the sad bereavement. Thus
his feelings have ever been intimately
interviewer with those of his parish
ioners-weeping with those who wept-
rejoicing with those who had AUS fol
rejoicing.
And now we will say Farewell
to thee, John McGoldrick; thou hast
been a faithful laborer in the Lords
vineyard; thy reward is awaiting thee.

when it will be sent to Omaha and in
tered in the Catholic cemetery there.

While en- route from the railroad to
Red Cloud, recently, Gen. Crooks
coach was upset. The night was in
tensely dark, and no portion of the
road visible. Near Running Water the
wheels ran into a deep rut %oyerturning
the coach in n twinkling. The team
became detached, ran away, became
entangled, and during the foundering
one horse was killed. The driver was
thrown violently to the ground, the fall
breaking an arm. Gen. Crook and one
of his staff were passengers, but es-
capped unhurt. Assistance was secured
from the station, and after a tedious
delay in a pouring rain, the vehicle was
rlghted and the trip resumed.
