The Belmont mill is in successful operation
and the tramway to and from the mine is in
admirable working order.
1t is reported that q rich strike has been
made in the Cable mine. A new ore body,
nine feet thick, showing much free gold. has
been penetrated below the present work.

mems are exhibited.
Messrs. Sloss s. Hammond, having closed
their arastrs for the season, proceed now to
develop several leads of their Silver Lake
property-the Alturus, Mount Pleasant and
Silver Moss among others. The recent sue.
cesses of this company encourage them to
persevere in developing their mines.
Mr.. John Rainstord has purchased the in
terest of VIM. Magyer in the Centennial mill,
Butte, and everything about the property is
to be repaired and put in first-class working
order. Five stamps will be worked this win

The Hope mine, Philipsburg, has reduced
its working force to fifteen men, who are
now employed in searching for milling ore to
work with the large quantity of base ore in
sight.
The Penobscot mine and mill are reported
in excellent condition, and good pay steadily
coming out. Gold bricks will come in pretty
regularly from this time forward.
The Burdan mill, Divide, is in operation
and sanguine hopes of big results are ex-
pressed in that quarter.

Do They '.Salt'' Sn axe River SAND.

Scoops of Snake river sand conveyed down
to the Saints city are being washed and as
sayed for gold. The Tribune, with no suspi-
cion that ''salt" has found its way into the
samples, says that seven cents is the product
taken from two pans The Tribune adds: {:
t'The sample was taken from Holmes &
Lawrence's claim, about thirty-five miles be-
low Taylor's bridge, and was not a picked
sample. There is no longer any question
about the richness and extent of the gold
bearing gravel on the river, or the possibility
of saving the fine gold, which is remarkably
evenly distributed through the dirt from the
surface to the very edge of the water. 1t ap-

GEN. Marcy's Testimony.

O00s AOOCAa1aV0Js
CHICAGO, November 28.-The 1TS6une's
Washington special says: General R. B.
Marcy. Inspector General Q. s. Army, has
prepared paper charging the Indian Bureau
with being thoroughly impregnated with cor
ruption, and that any change would be ad-
vantageous. He denies that the Indian Bu-
reau tends to civilize, educate and Christianize
the Indians. There is no progress towards
self-support. Meanwhile the agents have
amassed fortunes out of $1,000 salaries. On
the contrary, when the Indians were under
the control of the War Department, from
1888 to 1847, there was no corruption. An
nuities were publicly and honestly distributed.
The army does not desire the change, but it
would be an economical measure, and would
stop the immense corruption and extrava-
gance

HALIFAX, November 27.-The North street
station was crowded this morning to witness
the departure of the Governor-General and
Princess. The buildings were beautifully
decorated and great crowds were present an
hour before the time of leaving. The Vice
Regal party reached the station at 1915 and
were received by guard of honor from the
63d volunteer rifles. The Marquis and Prin-
cess went at once to the car and remained on
the platform until the train moved off, amid
immense cheering, salute being fred at the
same time from the citadel.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Some Points i'm the Report Of Secretary
SchurZ.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior, in his annual report, re-
fers to his recommendation of last year in
regard to the Indians, and says: The con-
solidation of a number of agencies has been
undertaken with view to better the location
of the Indians, which will at the same time
render more efficient supervision possible and
reduce the expenses of government and lessen
the opportunities for fraud and peculation.
AS far as the appropriations made by Con-
gress would permit, agricultural implements
and domestic cattle have been furnished the
Indian tribes to set them to work for their
own support and to encourage industrious
habits. An Indian police has been organ
lied at % agencies, and from all of them
favorable reports as to the working of the
new system have been received. Instructions
have been given to discriminate in the distri-
button of supplies and annuities which are
not actual necessaries against individual
Indians who show no disposition to work,
thus discouraging idleness. The allotment of
land among Indians on several reservations
has been ordered and is in progress. The
facilities of education have been extended as
much as possible and proper directions have
been given for instructing Indian children in
practical pursuits The Indian service has
been reorganized in several of its branches.
1t was found necessary to remove q number
of agents on account of improper practices
or lack of business efficiency, and great care
has been taken in filling their places with
new men. Where mistakes were found to
have been made in selections they have been
promptly rectified. Important changes have
been made in the contract system and in the
methods of accountability. An active super
vision has been exercised by inspectors and
special agents. The detection of fraud has
been followed by vigorous prosecution, and
on the whole feel enabled to say that the
character of the service has been raised in
point of integrity and efficiency. lam, how
ever, far from pretending that the present
condition of Indian affairs is what it ought to
be. The experience gained in an earnest
effort to overcome difficulties and to correct
abuses, has enabled me to appreciate more
clearly the task still to be accomplished.

Repurt Of the Commissioner Of Indian

Report Of the Commissioner Of Indian
Af1hirs.
WASHINGTON, November 27.-The CON-
missioner of Indian Affairs in his report
urges the consolidation of tribes, as recon-
mended by his predecessors, reducing the
reservations to nine in number, and restoring
to the public domain 17,642,4 ,455 acres of
land. He thinks most of the Indians in
Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona might
be removed to the Indian Territory, and the
klamath Indians to the Yakima reservation,
Washington Territory, whittier the Bannack
and Malheur Indians will be Immediately
sent. He renews his appeal for permanent
title to Indian lands, recommends the organ
ization of 5000 Indian cavalry under army
officers for service near the reservations. he
publishes the correspondence between the
agent of the Bannacks and the military and
shows that the latter were well Informed OF
the actual state of affairs in time to be pre-
pared for hostilities; also, that the Indians
received all the subsistence the funds appro-
priated by Congress enabled the Indian Office
to purchase. he shows that the agent of the
Cheyennes was required by law of Con-
gress to withhold supplies from Indians who
would not work, which lead to the outbreak
of the Cheyennes. He recommends the re-
moval of the Umatillas in Oregon to the
Yakima reservation, and the lands be sold for
their benefit. The Mission and Hoopa Valley
Agencies, California, are re-established; their
discontinuance was caused by the failure of
Congress to make appropriations.

THE will of Alexander McGill, of Alle-
ghany City, Pa, has just been filed. 1t is
dated Jan. 1st, 1878, and leaves his property,
worth $4,000, to certain relatives for life,
and to three aunts in Ireland, or the survivors
of them, when the American heirs die. If
there are no heirs surviving in the old country
the money is to go to the president of the
United States, to be applied to furthering the
interests of the National Democratic party.
If the president is not Democrat the money
is to remain on deposit till Democratic chief
magistrate has been inaugurated.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD.
BUTTE, NJ. T., November 20, 1878.
The election being over our people have
simmered down to business and other cares of
life. Where short time ago Democrat, Re-
publican and Workingman were all the talk,
can be heard only ''mill' ''mine," ''big
strike," etc., in mining circles. We notice
the sale by Peter McMahan to Thornton,
Rosenthal, Kelley & Ransom of an undivided
one-twelfth of the Gagnon mine for $15, 900,
cash. Also the sale by James A. Murray to
the the same parties an undivided one-ninth
Of the Gagnon mine for the sum of $4,000
cash, this latter figure being 1.-THE rate of $685.
600 for the mine, which is less than 400 feet
in length. This sale shows healthy condi-
dition of affairs. When home capital comes
to the front in this manner, it demonstrates
that all confidence in the country is not lost
and that men do not run away from the coun-
try as soon as they accumulate a few dollars.
The Silver Bow Mining and Milling Co.'s
new 15-stamp mill got up steam yesterday for
the first time, which adds fully $4,000 per
month to the bullion product of our camp,
and gives employment to quite number of
men who are now idle.
The new smelter being erected by the Gag
non Company intends to start up within ten
days. This enterprise, something new for
our camp, will add very materially to our
wealth.
Col. L. NJ. Black and Thomas Conners are
about purchasing the famous Burlington mine
from Messrs. Gassert & Reeding. We under
stand the figures are $4,000.
The petition for daily mail service from
Helena to the metropolis is being extensively
circulated and almost without exception
signed. This service is something that our
people need and demand. Col. Black has
done nobly in so long keeping up this line
and should receive this contract as partial
reward for the good he has already accom-
plished.
Messrs. L. W. Foster & Co., have moved
into their new brick store, which beyond
doubt is the largest and best fire-proof build
ing in Montana.
The town is going ahead with jingle, and
all we need is thoroughbred Republican
newspaper in order to hold US level Welearn
that steps have been taken to start such a
paper at this place at an early day.
Mr.. John Rainsford has bought the entire
stock of the Centennial mill, and has force
of workmen putting ii in repair, when ten
more stamps will be added to our producing
capacity. In the future l will endeavor to
keep your readers fully advised of all matters
of interest in the Silver City.

this city and had consultation with Spring

some plan for preventing the Republicans
from making any more capital out of the

allow the Republicans to offer resolution
upon the subject Correspondence was had
with Clarkson N. Potter upon the subject,
and day or two ago Springer went to New
York for the purpose of consulting with him
and other prominent Bourbons. The Jesuit
of this conference is known here. Springer
is charged with q resolution asking that an
investigation be ordered into these matters,
as charged in Republican newspapers, and
that Whitelaw Reid will be summoned as the
first witness to tell how and where he OBJ
tanned the dispatches that he has published.
The resolution is to be offered on the first
day if it can properly come before Congress-
1t is arranged in such way that there can be
no opposition. Randall has been notified and
