The Copperopolis mines are turning out
beyond the most sanguine expectations of
the owners. We learn from G. A. Kellogg,
who was in Diamond a few days since, that
they are down Oh one lead so feet, and that
for forty feet it shows a two foot. vein of ore
that goes 46 per cent. in copper, besides
containing a percentage of gold and silver.
The work of development progresses stead
lily, and soon this district will become one of
the best copper producing sections in Mon
tana.
SOME lucky miners have just made a tor
tunate strike in the Scratch Gravel range.
near Helena. The lead contains l6 feet of
paying ore, two feet of which will go 5000
per ton. Assorted rock is worth one dollar
per pound. We have not heard as to its
extent, but it will most likely prove to be a
pocket, like similar deposits heretofore found
in the Territory. One of these rich deposits
was found in the Durant lead, at the head Of
Montana gulch. This was of limited extent.
yet 1t yielded a handsome fortune to the dis
coverer. These deposits are generally found
near rich placer fields, and from these it is
generally believed that the placer deposits
were made. The gold of Montana gulch
was Of such a nature that there is no doubt
but that it came from the leads that checker
the mountains about its head, and since the
gulch was one of the richest ever discovered
the leads are believed to contain a fabulous
amount of gold, and that, should they ever
be developed, they will yield an immense
revenue.

ON Thursday, and are looking for a more
extensive range for their herds Of sheep and
cattle. They will have nc trouble whatever
in finding all the ground they may need.
Come right along, gentlemen, pick out your
range and save your taxes. "-Benton Record.
The want of a larger range, as stated in
the above item, is not Il sufficient cause for
their dissatisfaction with their present local.
ity nor is the saving of two mills on the
dollar taxes their true motive for seeking h
new home. The country surrounding the
homes Of these gentlemen is large and as
we'll adapted for the stock business Us is to
be had in the Rocky Mountains. The real
cause of their dissatisfaction is theirlsolation
from the county seat of their county. These
gentlemen and their neigbors of lower
Smith river are wealthy stock growers and
pay a large share of the revenue into the
county treasury. They are entitled to the
same consideration by the managers of the
county affairs as the settlers in other Sec
tons, and unless something be done In the
advancement OF their interests 1t can not be
expected that they will be content. Since
the establishment of a mail service to their
settlement, which we are assured will be in
operation at an early day, their only need is
better roads. We think our County Com
missioners could not invest a few hundred
dollars of the county's funds to better adj
vantage than in opening a more direct road
between Camp Baker and the lower Smith
river settlement. and bridging that stream
below the mouth of Hound creek. A bridge
here would be of great value to the settlers
of that district, whose stock range on both
sides of the stream, besides it is the princi-
pal move towards opening a good and prac-
teal route to Fort Benton. We believe the
citizens of lower Smith river will contribute
largely toward the building of the bridge if
the county will take the matter in hand.

PERSONS doing business in old mining
towns, like Diamond, built of pine timber
and lumber, have little idea of the risk they
are taking of having their entire property
wiped out by fire any hour. On Tuesday
morning last it was discovered that the
blacksmith shop in this place was on fire.
In a short time it would have been in flames.
This should serve as a warning to our peo-
pie. They should examine their stovepipes
and see that they are perfectly secure. The
weather is dry and windy, and the danger
of fire was never more imminent. AS our
water facilities are not first-class, every one
should keep a barrel of water about the
house for use in cases of emergency. Fore
warned is torearmed. Diamond has escaped
wonderfully well thus far, and if proper
care is exercised our good fortune may con-
tinue. but a little carelessness on the part of
one individual may result in a great loss to
many.

charged with having taken into his posses

Root, among which was a watch with the

1t was bought by a gentleman who intended

traitor of the estate of James Barker has
written a letter stating that the watch can
not be recovered. The M;ssoulian calls
upon Carlton and Howard to explain.

SHERIFF FLEMING, who has just returned
from the Warm Springs in Deer Lodge
county, speaks in glowing terms Of the man
agement Of the asylum by Drs. Mitchell
and Mussigbrod. During the past year
these gentlemen have expended about
$4,000 in improvements. Besides reno
waiting, r%efitting and furnishing the asulum
buildings, they have added new and con-
%venient bathrooms. The surroundings are
also being improved by the building of
fences and laying pebble walks. An OBJ
%servatory is being erected on the spring
mound, which rises forty or fifty feet &bove
the plain, from which the surrounding
country can be seen. Considerable Of the
labor is being done by the Territorial in
sane patients, some of whom have nearly
recovered. There are twenty-nine patients
in all now at the asylum, -four of whom are
private patients. The proprietors have
the patients under complete control, keep
ing them secure without the use Of chains,
and are certainly doing a valuable service
in restoring them.

Nez Perces, which will doubtless be very
interesting. The accounts of their capture
and escape, as published in our Territorial

true story by the captured.
