EDITOR HUsBANDMAN:
Cold, disagreeable weather, accompanied
by rain and SNOW, has been our lot tor seye-
raj days past, with no indications of clearing
up at present. Some of the streams are
swollen to OVERLOOKING, roads are muddy
and difficult to navigate in places. Screen
OAK arc scarce. and taxes raising.
Loaded freight trains are passing daily
from Corinne, vending their way to the
city of high prices.
Yesterday a two months subscription
school closed very pleasantly with declama-
tons and the reading Of compositions, some
of which would have done credit to older
scholars with larger experience. A spelling
bee concluded the exercise, and after a spir-
tied contest the good-natursd Miss d. earned
the victory. After a weeks vacation tor re-
pairs in the school room, the school will be
resumed under the charge of Mrs. B.. +.
Hopes, for a term of four months. The
school for the summer will number about 50
scholars. The largest attendance ut the
school Just closed was %, average attend
ance, 2l.
Since reading in the last HUsBAsDMAS
such a glowing description of this place by
your travelling correspondent, | have been
cooitating whether 4 clothes line strung
with calico by fairer hands than an old bach
elor's would not enhance the beauty of the
shrubbery and lattice work surrounding my
dwelling, and l have about reached al If
frmativs conclusion. But how and where
to obtain the fairer hands is the most per
picking. The %shrubbery and lattice work
fail to attract them, and | haven't a ''bar'l
of money! and if my winning ways are igg-
nored who is responsible.
A large-sized Bruin yielded up the ghost

HELENA PRODUCE MARKET.

HELENA may II, 400.
The markets of the past week have UNI
dergone slight changes, some of the arti-
cles declining, and some more firm and adj
vancing. The receipts of -four have been
light, and there is a slight downward ten
dency. This, however, is not caused by any
large surplus in the markets, and the dull
ness is mainly attributed to the indisposition
of any one to deal extensively in the trade.
The oat market is firm and slightly inclined
to better prices. The barley market is over
stocked and declining. 1t now only finds
sale for feed, the brewers havin. laid in
good supplies. The butter market is we'll
supplied and selling at low figures. A few
persons, however, who are living near the
city, and are well known, are selling to sps-
cial customers at 40 cents; but the butter
brought in from a distance finds dull sale at
from 20 to 30 cents. TIL following is the
ruling Of prices at the close OF last week.
Oats, in good demand, at $500. Coed,
heavy oats. $3.15.

The time has at length come when our
people begin to feel the necessity of devel-
oping the rich belt OF quartz leads known to
the fame of this district filled the whole
land. Rich leads were found, men made
a from the rock with a hand mortar,
rich deposits, or rather pockets were found.
Eight or ten thousand dollars was taken
from one of these. Every foot Of the noun
tain was claimed, and the lucky owner con-
sidered himself a millionaire, but the leads
gradually fell into the hands of capitalists,
who have only done enough work on any to
acquire a title, and are making no effort to
develop their wealth. Among the most ex-
tensive owners in this district is the West
ern Star Mining Company. This company
holds over q dozen of the best leads. but
have only done sufficient work to acquire a
title to W of them, the rest they hold by
what might be termed strategy. On the LIST
day of january of each year the company
employ some one to relocate certain leads,
and deed them back to the company.
This they do from year to year, and make
no effort at prospecting. Our people are
getting tired of this kind Of work, and if
this company does no more this year h
usual they will find it difficult to come their
old dodge. This region is known to possess
great wealth, and its interests have beer al
lowed to lie dormant long enough. Ihe
Western Star Mining..Company miss thell
guess if they suppose the people of our
section will tolerate this wholesale monop'
DIV, which cripples the prosperity OF the
county, any longer. There is a faint rumol
that the company are about to commence
work. This is the old story, and gotten uT
merely as a blind to keep our miners IRON
making an effort to possess the best OF these
mines. A word to the wise is sufficient. l
there is not $500 worth of work done or
each of the leads held by this company be
tween this and January, 1878, all save th'
two that are patented will pass into othe'
hands and the work Of development be com
mcnced. and an era of prosperity to GU
county must doubtless ensue.

WE desire to call attention to the pro-

The long talked-of match game between

and was won by the First Nine, - to Is.
There was unusual interest manifested by
the players, who were in good trim, and
showed marked improvement upon former
play. There were a number of spectators
present.
Mr.. JAS. KING, formerly of the firm o.

camp, thoroughly identify him with tn

return. We take pleasure in welcoming
him back wish him success in reopenin'
his rich mines here, of which he is now tn
sole owner.

SERGEANT BRYANT, of Camp Baker, re-
turned from Benton this week. He met his
family and started with them for Camp Ba-
ker, vi~ the Government road, having en-
ployed a pilgrim to furnish transportation.
After much difficulty in contending with
soft roads and high water, they reached
Birds creek. A terrific rain and snow storm
overlook them here which dcmoralized the
teamster, who could not be dissuaded from
turning back to the settlement on the Mis-
souri, river. Leaving his family at Mr.. Har-
ris' to await more favorable weather, Ser
geant B. returned to Shaw and took passage
on the coach. He reports Benton alive with
business. Several heavy trains have loaded
for the North. But little freight is moving
toward Helena, the roads being in such
wretche'l condition that it is almost impos-
sible for freights to move. The lake is very
high, and Canyon Ferry is fearful. He
thinks but little freight will arrive before
the weather settles.

Owing to the light fall of snow last win
ter, the general impression has been that
water would be light, but thus far, the
weather prophet has again proved a failure.
The frequent rains accompanied by heavy
falls of snow on the mountains the past two
months, rather changes the outlook. The
mountains are whittier than usual at this sea-
son-the snow coming down to the low
hills. The water season may not last AZ
far into the summer as it sometimes does.

entire distance is proposition that

Tarrant county has set the example
an example OF what energy and deter>

sistent--an example that Weatherford
can and should follow without the loss of
another month. The very fact that
work was begun on the line would ad.
vance at once the price of real estate in
the entire county, and especially in the
city Of Weatherford. No store.house
would remain vacant no eligible lot
would DO left without a building, no
hotel would have spare bedroom. The
wagon trade that would pour into her
thoroughfares would equal that of Dial.
las three years ago, when so great was
the crush of wagons in our streets that
special forces of policemen had to be
detailed to open way for traffic.
The trade of the rapidly filling west
would be handed over to her merchants,
and, within few brief months, the
amplest repayment would be made for
all expenditures in constructing the
Iwenty.nine miles now unbuilt.

pose, the whistle of the Pacific's engines
will soon echo among her h ills.
