An Iowa cattle dealer named WilitZ, came
up from Carroll a short time since, pros
pecting for a route for Montana beef. /
was his intention to have purchased on the
Muscleshell or Smith river, but the bulk O
the beef cattle on these valleys was already
sold. He was, however, much pleased will
the route, and thinks it the best one fol

The water season is over in most mining
camps, and miners have but littleto 40. A

after leads may result in thedndlng OF a tor

We learn from Jacob Zehntner, who wa.
out on Hound creek, at John Ming's CATH
camp, a few days ago, that Mr.. Ming ha
already about 800 head of beeves, and calcu
lates chat he would get together 1900 in
few days, when he will start with them 70

river, crossing out to the Muscleshell, the
turning south along the base Of the noun

The coach line from Helena to the White
Sulphur Springs has no superior in the Ter
ritory. The new coach ''Diamond," built
expressly for this line is a beauty. 1t is not
large and u~nwieldy-like, like the Concord
coach, but sufficiently commodious, built
trim, and balances tip-top. 1t is the best
wagon that has ever been on this line. A
coach ride of ten or twelve hours under
these circumstances is not such a Wearisome
journey, after all. Try it.
J. II. Severance, who has been on Smith
river for the past nine months, examining
into the different branches of the stock bus
mess. He was much inclined to the horse
business having owned some fine steppers in
his old home in Boston, but having looked
at matters to his full satisfaction, thinks
wool growing will pay best. He started to
the Muscleshell on the 10Th, for the purpose
of selecting a home and commencing to i'm
prove Mrs. Severance will be on from the
Eastin August.
THE Fort Shaw and Camp Baker mail
carrier saw a party of about thirty Indians
moving down Rock creek last week. The
mail carrier was unobserved by the Indians.
| He tthougIht there was no wome with them.
The matter was reported to the authorities
at Camp Baker. who, believing that they
were the seven lodges OF Flatheads under
Antoine, sent Capt. Comba and posse out
to warn them in. Later advices from Camp
Baker state that Capt. Comba has returned.
He was unable to find any trace OF the In
\ dams. !
During high water there is some excuse
for bad roads, as work done at that time is
usually thrown away. Taking this view of
the subject, the public generally are content
with getting along over the roads as best
they can. But now that the water season
is over, it is time a proper effort was made
to put the roads in good condition once
more. Miners and farmers who have in
jured the roads should put them in repair,
and road supervisors should 20 to work in
earnest. The roads i'm this county are IN a
very bad condition, and we trust a proper
effort will be made to repair them at once.
Charles Anceny, Of Gallatin county, has
recently sold to Nelson Story a lot of fifteen
or twenty high grade young bulls at good
figures. Mr.. Anceny is one OF the few fine
stock breeders of Montana who nave kept
up their herds and continued to breed them
carefully during the past five years, though
there was but little sale for that kind of
stock. Now that we have a market, and
our beef cattle find ready sale, our stock
men are beginning to look out for good
bulls with which to improve their herds,
! and Mr.. Anceny is receiving his reward for
his care and patience. He has some of the
best breeds, and his skillful management in
breeding is bringing his herd Up to a fine
standard. We wish him success.

Backward Spring.

Cold and rainy weather hangs on unusually late this year. Following dispatch refers to region generally mild even in mid-wl lter:
 PORTLAND, OR, April 30: Recent re- ports from Southern Oregon state that the weather in that vicinity has been very cold. Ice, during the night, has been formed to nearly the thickness of half an inch, and heavy frosts have not been unfrequent. This cold spell has done great damage to fruit crops. A very large percentage of grapes, cherries, plums and other fruit has been destroyed Reports from eastern Oregon and portions of Washington Territory are not any more favorable. The weather in those regions has been very cold, and great damage was done to fruit. In some localities it was so cold as to freeze twigs through and kill them.

General Shields.

General James Shields, who failed to be elected Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives an office to which he had not aspired, has had very re- markable career. He was born in Ire land, sixty-eight years ago, and has lived in the United States fifty-two years, forty of which have been in the public service. He has been e member of the Illinois and Missouri Legislatures, Auditor of the State of Illinois, a judge with her Supreme Court, with Douglass) her Senator in Congress, Senator also from the State of Minnesota, a MajOr-General in the war with Mexico, and the war of the rebellion, Governor of Oregon Ter ritory, and Commissioner of the Gen. eral Land Office. He was shot through the lungs in Mexico, and given up for dead. Congress voted hIm a sword for his heroism, but so poor has he be come that he has been obliged to pawn it for bread. With plenty of oppor- tunity to get rich out of the govern ment, he has always been poor man. He now lives in the Congressional District of General John B. Clark, in Missiourl, and when General c. went to see him last summer he found him in the field, barefooted, following a sorry looking mule hitched to sor- rier plough.

Raiders in New Mexico Come to
 Grief.

BROWNSVILLE, TEX, May 2.-On Friday last about 200 men assembled at Lamonds, eighteen miles from here on the Corpus Christi road, and march, ed to San Isidro on the river, reaching there about 3 o'clock in the morning About fifty men attempted to cross the Rio Grande into Mexico. They were led by Rafael Lera. They were met by a party of regulars from Matsmoros, and skirmish ensued which resulted in the discontinue of the conspirators, eight of whom were made prisoners. Two were wounded and two killed, and three others were drowned in the river in their efforts to recross.
 It is understood the object of the raid was 10 intercept and capture Gen eral Candles, who is on his way from Reynosa to Matamoros.

Truthful Contrast.

The San Francisco Post lately refer red to the Rio Grande border troubles and wound up this way:
 The condition of affairs affords a marked contrast with the good feeling and peace that prevail along the north ern line of the Mexican republic. So. nora and Chihuahua, especially the former, are entering on new era of neighbOrly feeling and prosperity. Along the border of Arizona and So nora increased activity in mining and traffic of all kinds prevails. General Rosencranz is engaged in the examin- ation of Sonora coal deposits at the in- stigalion of San Francisco capital. Old mines and placers abandoned dur ing the Apache incursions by their American owners and lessees, are be- ing reOpened and worked. Railroad projects between the gulf of CalifOr nia. Tucson and the Rio Grande are being pushed with activity President Dlaz has wisely appointed a Consul at Tucson, Arizona. All these things are ln striking contrast with the disorderly and filibustering spirit that prevails along the Texan frontier.
 To ex Gov. Stafford more than to any .ther man is due the credit of having brought about peace and security on the Sonora border, and for making it even unsafe for bad men to steal and murder on one side and then escape to the other side of the Sonora and Ari- gona line.

Half a Year.

Our last number closed the first six months issue of THE CITIZEN in Flor. ence. Being new at the business we have found considerable more hard work than we had expected, and have met some annoyance and difficulty when least looked for. While on the other hand we have received frequent and liberal aid and encouragement, so that on the whole we have no cause to complain. Financially our wo k has been a success and if our patrons are satisfied with our past efforts and will continue their prompt and literal support, we shall be glad to serve them through another half year, and per haps through long series of years to the best of our ability. Our steady purpose shall be to furnish our readers with reliable statements regarding our local interests, the most important news and general useful information.

Cheering Rail Road News.

The time has come when the in- creasing importance of Arizona de mands better and more rapid means of travel and transportation. Every resi- dent of our vast Territory appreciate this fact, and railroad men are begin ing to feel that they cannot afford to lose time in barley and legislation.
 The present is no time for us to op- pose or object to a strong railroad cor poration because another imaginary company might possibly benefit us more in the long run. If we had al choice of several good companies we might then discuss their respective merits and express our preference, but from our best information we may state that only one railroad is liable to penetrate the interior of Arizona for some years 10 come. The Texas Pa cific cannot build without government aid and there is little or no possibility of that aid being extended, while on the other hand we have recent reliableI assurances that the Southern Pacific Railroad will commence extendingI their road eastward from Yuma as soon as Congress adjourns, whether they get the desired legislation or not. They intend to build 10 Maricopa Wells and rest there until there is good pros pect for another company to meet them at the Rio Grande The present out look indicates that the rest at Marico- pa Wells will be brief for the Cobra do and New Mexico papers are full of railroad extension news, and there isI now hot strife between the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Com pany and the Denver-Rio Grande Com pany as to which road shall possess the most feasible route westward.
 We confidently expect that a year hence the iron horse will be within forty miles of Florence, and we are much mistaken in our probabilities if the next three years does not witness the completion of a Southern Trans continental Railroad.

CHAMBERLAIN who was appointed Indian Agent for San Carlos, was twice discharged from the revenue service for drunkenness, and about the day of his recent appointment got drunk in Washington and did good deal of foolish blowing. The facts coming to tn knowledge of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, he advised the Pres ident and the appointment was revok- ed. So this Territory thus escaped a serious and dangerous affliction.
