a Gaffnfiss Silver Mine.


Our correspondent Pedro" writing
from Gailatin City, states that great nx
element prevailed there on the 9th inst,
caused by the discovery Of rich silver
mine in that vicinity. The fortunate find
ers are J. G: Hopping. q well-known s,ock-
grower. and Geo. Warren, q Galatin farm
er. The lode is located about half mile
south of Al. Nichols ranch. and can be
traced for a considerable distance. Pc
dro" states that when he first visited the
lode he was astonisiled to observe the en-
tire able bodied population had turned out,
either as sight seefs Or ARMED with pick
and shovel: The latter portion eXcitedly
working away rs if expecting to strike, Il
bonanz a tcw inches from the grass roots.
The adjacent ground, and in fact the whole
region. was stakcd OIL. The rock that our
correspondent saw WAS fairly glutted with
native silver. 1t is not known how wide
the vein is. bat the owners are busily at
work exposing the hidden treasure, and in
4 short time will know the width Of their
mine. The lode is termed the Josephine.
The store at Galatin City, it is expected.
will be removed to the new mines, and Al.
Nichols has already commenced to lay out
a town on his ranch. Additional palticul-
lars will be furnished us by our Gall: tin

Helena and Deer Lodge have recently
been visited with showers of angle worms,
and there is at least a reasonable presump-
ton that Bozeman. during some night this
week. must have had similar visitation,
and that Messrs. Dow and Langhorne. two
noted fishermen, got up bright and early
and before anyone else was out of bed and
..ba~9ed'' the entire shower. for we are
informed those two gentlemen have actt'-
ally invcigled over fifty fine speckled trout
this week from small tributary of Boze-
man creek, that heretofore was never
known to contain a single specimen of the
tinny tribe. The Sporting Club should in
vestigate this matter.

Some time since the First National Eank
of Deer Lodge received from Morse & Bro
gan. Ireka. an ounce or so Of beautiful
nugget gold, varying in size slightly above
and below that of a grain of wheat, with
the request to- send them the value of it in
silver coin. Mr.. Larabie, cashier, showed
it to number Of gentlemen, all OF whom
very much admired the nuggets, which
were very handsome. Mr.. L., however.
notified his correspondents that, While lie
would be pleased to ship them all the coin
they desired, she very much regretted to
inform them the nuggets they had RENTED
were bogus etc, etc. \ few days later
Col. Morse came in and cleared up tie
mystery. Some Of the boys had purchased
a chicken from Chinaman, and on open
ing its craw the entire amount of gold sent
up had been found in it-a pretty 1air craW.-
full. 1t was discovered to be bogus, and
sent up, as a joke, to see if Ed would
detect it, which the same lie is about ..s
likely to do as anybody in AM erica. The
surmise is that the Chnam9n fror,. whom
the chicken was bought, or some of his
nei.hbors. manufactu, ed the .;aueer." and
while it was sitting out of doors to cool.
the rooster bird 'llis.eok it for grain and
ate plenty. 1t las resulted in "a close watch

is a very me iE,itation, and is not readily
detectp / by the eye except for q brassy
appe arance when compared with other
geld. 1t is we'll enough for those handling
gold dust to keep Il look out for that rar-
ton of it which the chicken didn't get

play It back on us:

as celebrated for elegant chirography as
Greeley or Boss. but the following entities
him to rank pretty well up with that
crowd. He wrote Il string of locals one
afternoon. hung the copy on the hook
and took run down town. The boys,
one after the other. took a look at that
copy as it hung, and invariably
''dodged'' it. kerley returned in an hour
or so. and finding the boys hard pressed
with telegrams. concluded to sci a stickttil,
and on going TO the hook. as a matter of
course. his locals were on top, and, with
out noticing what it was, lie pulled it Off
the hook. laid it on Ills case, picked up his
stick. and took Il look at that copy"
First straight look, then to the right,
then to the left. and then he picked it up
and took a good, square look; laid it down
again. and resti@g both elbows on the case,
he exclaimed: "What COMPOUNDED fool
wrote that" or words to that effect.
The roar Of laughter that greeted him
caused little light TO dawn Oh his mind
in regard TO who wrote it. and picking it
up he again remarked: Boys. this does
look little familiar, and on close inspec-
ton it is easy TO read, but | am willing to
order up Il key of beer If that will settle
this thing" 1t settled it: bnt Kerlcy was
observed TO deposit those locals in his
