HELENA PRODUCE MARKET.
HELENA, February, 10, 1871


The markets have undergone some
changes since last week, mostly tending to-
ward a decline. The receipts of oats, how-
ever, have been less than that of last week.
but as there was also a decrease in the de
mand, the prices have kept about the same.
but a little inclined to come down. Flour
has dropped % cents on the sack. This was
not caused by large receipts, but on account
of the indisposition of any one to speculate.
The merchants as well as the buyers are of
the opinion that this product must come
down as soon as spring markets come. and
are, therefore inclined to get along with as
little as possible. The barley market has
also fallen off slightly, the brewers being
well supplied and taking the same view of
the situation as the flour dealers-hoping
that the price may soon lower.

IT is but due to the representatives OF the
Legislature, Messrs. l.. Rotwitt and II. b.
Brainard, to state their position OF the rail
road question. Both of these gentlemen
were elected on the anti-subsidy ticket.
When the North and South bill came in the
House, they were puzzled to decide what to
do, other than vote no. Mr.. Brainard tear
ing that if something was done the bill
would pass, with its terminus at Pipestone /;
and feeling that it would be much to the
interest of Meagher county to have the ter
minus nearer, he offered and supported the
amendment to bring its terminus to Helena,
believing that if his county should be COM
PEELED to pay taxes for the road, they should
have it come as near its border as possible.
He took the ground that "if we must have
the road, let's have it come as near us as
possible Mr.. Rotwitt took a different
view of the situation, and voted no, believ-
ing that it was his duty to his constituents,
having been so elected to vote no. Though
both of these gentlemen voted in opposi-
tion'to each other, each seem to be confident
that they have done right. It was not my
intention in writing this, to justify either of
the gentlemen in their course, but / feel that
it is due to them to give the people of Mea-
cher county a true statement of their posi-
ton. Will.

WE ARE indebted to William Rennie, of
Toronto, Canada, for his descriptive seed
catalogue. This catalogue contains a large
number of illustrations, and is gotten up on
beautiful toned paper. 1t strikes us very
favorably that Canadian grown seed would
be well adapted to Montana. The trees,
plants, ETC., grown there are of a very hardy
variety, and their climate is much like our
own.

ANDREW CUNNINGHAM, an old resident
of Confederate gulch, committed suicide
last Sunday night. For some weeks past
it had been noticed by his friends that he
was loosing his mind. Sunday he was in
town most of the day, but seemed rather
silent. In the evening Mr.. Seibricht induced
him to accompany him (Seibricht) to his
horne down the gulch, near Eldorado bar.
After supper, Mr.. Seibricht repaired to Mr..
Maloney's cabin near by, and with Mr.,
Manley and others were engaged in a game
of whist. On returning to his cabin, about
an hour later, Mr.. Selbricht found him sus-
pended to one Of the ridge-poles of the cab
in. He had drawn a flour sack across the
ridge-pole, to which was attached a belt
which was fastened around his neck. Near
by stood a trunk, from which he is suppos-
ed to have swung himself. A very slight
pull of the body caused it to fall, but life
was extinct. The body was still warm, but
the heart and pulse were still. Mr.. G. was
a hard working, industrious man. He lived
alone in Boulder gulch. About two years
since he had the misfortune to losing his
hard earning, amounting to $500, the money
being stolen from his cabin. OF late he
seemed to think that the perpetrators of the
deed intended to hang him, and Sunday, he
said, was the day they were to carry out
their designs. The deceased was born and
raised in Ireland. He lived a number of
years in Fairyiew, Grant county, Wisconsin,
where his family, consisting of a wife and
one child, still reside. He came to Montana
crate about nine years. Since being robbed,
he does not seem to have prospered. He
leaves no effects. The verdict of the Coro-
ner's jury was in accordance with the facts
as above stated.

THE new mining camp on Willow creek,
known as the Pony district, is fast assuming
Importance. There are at present nearly
800 persons there. Quite a little town has
sprung into existanee; over 100 buildings
have been erected, and the work of building
still progresses. The mines so far as devel-
oped, are exceedingly promising. The leads
are very rich, and have the appearance OF
permanence. The mountain range in which
the principal belt of leads are found, is a
spur coming down between Willow creek
and South Boulder. The leads seem to eX-
tend clear through the range, as they are
numerous and rich on each side, u Willow
creek friends are very sanguine, and look
forward TO see Pony rivaling Butte at no
distant day.
