OF the nearly $500. 100000 speui
yearly in this country for Intoxicating
drinks and tobacco, the larger portion

a few weeks failures To the amount Of
over million dollars have been re.

truth is. the bluegrass products were
of a fancy kind-blooded horses,
Shorthorn cattle, and prime whisky
and the hard times decreased their
value. There is always sale Gor a
good $50 Texan steer. but not $500

REPUTATION AND CHARACTER. -
Reputation is what We seem Ia he.
Character Is what We really are. Men
know our reputation. God knows our
character. Reputation, like wealth,
is leit behind Us when We pass into
eternity. Character is taken with Us
over the river of death. Reputation
fades away and is Of momeniary i'm
poriance, Character Is An everlasting
possession, and has an eternal value.
Then il is far more important to ne.
quire character than To make reputa.
ton. The acquisition Of character
should he the great business life. II
We take care Of our character our rep.
utslion will take care oi itself.

WE understand that the stock men Of
Lower Smith river contemplate starting
on the roundup about the first of June.
This labor will occupy a month or more of
time, as the increase of calves this season
will greatly exceed that of any previous
year, reaching into the thousands.

county, passed on Mondays coach tor a Wis
it to the sheep ranch, accompanied by his
wife. This is a nice season for a visit to the
country, The landscapes are fresh and
green, the brooks alive with trout, and the
bleating of many lambs will be music to
the ears of those accustomed to the buzz
and whirl of city life.
WE learn that COMMISSIONS Hoyt who
was appointed by the Helena Board of
and Butte wagon road, has adopted the
route csa the Jefferson mines, leaving Boul-
der valley six miles to the east. This will
be a considerable disappointment to the
people OF Boulder, who have expended "a
great deal of labor on the road, hoping that
travel would pass that way. The route
adopted is claimed to be much the shortest,
and its passing the Jefferson mines is con-
sidered d very important matter. There
are some immense hills on this route, and
the building of a good practical road will
cost considerable. The Boulder people can
tap this road at a convenient point, and if
their route is best will catch a fair share of
the travel.

note is the "Durant," owned by ;Simms &
Corbin. Several years ago this lead was
developed to the depth of so feet. The vein
is narrow, but shows free gold, and created
some excitement when being worked, a CON
siderable sum of money having been taken
from it'by pounding the ore in a hand NOR
tar. On the highest part of the hill or di-
vide is the Virginius, McGregor and Gold
Bar, owned by S. Allen, of Diamond City.
The first named has a shaft down 100 feet,
Fanl a well-defined crevice, varying in width
from 20 inches to 3 feet. The McGregor has
a shaft 60 feet deep, and exhibits a body Of
quartz q feet wide. A tunnel has been run
in towards this lead from the Montana gulch
side, IS feet, and is. estimated to be within DO
feet of the vein. When completed it will
tap the ledge 125 feet below the surface.
The Gold Bar is developed to the depth OF
Is feet, and has a 2 foot vein. Mr.. Allen
has great faith in the richness of these mines,
and has expended nearly Sc, 600 in their de-
velopment. He invests his earnings, accu-
mulated through the summer season, in.rep-
~resenting and sinking deeper during the
xyintar months Tha Topn Vrao ou,naI Nv,
Grub & Ringer, is next on the Montana
side. Tie shaft or this ledge is IS feet deep,
showing a Well-defined crevice 3 feet wide.
This is the only ledge whose value has been
tested in a mill. just how much it yields to
the ton has never been stated by the owners,
but since crushing the few tons of ore which
they hauled to the mill, 20 miles distant, the
proprietors have gone steadily Oh with the
developments. Their tunnel is now within
16 feet OF the lead. Lower down, on the
number OF other locations, belonging to the
Western Star Mining Company, of Philadel-
phia. The Western Star shaft is 45 feet
deep, and shows Il w~elIdefined lead nearly
4 feet in width. TlIs company have spent
a large sum of money in running tunnels,
developing their leads, and building roads
to them. They have a five-stamp mill near
ly completed, and are, W. are informed, ne
gotiating for more capital with which to re-
sumo operations. There are probably a
hundred other leads upon the hin, more or
less developed and open to relocation, and
they certainly present an inviting field for
prospecting. The mountain in which they
are situated is partly cut in twain by Mon
tana and Whites gulches. These leads are
certainly the fountain-head from which come
the placer deposits of Montana gulch, Gold
hill, and Confederate bars, which yielded
over $4,000 to each square rod of surface,
and added over two million dollars to the
country's wealth.
