Teachers Arriving.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Reed arrived by
the overland coach to visit his classmate, Prof.
Hassel, before proceeding to Deer Lodge.
where he is to hold the position of Principal
III the public school for the term beginning
on the 18th inst. Mr.. Reed is a graduate of
the Grinllel College, and, although u very
young man, is said already to have had COLI
siderable experience in teaching. He comes
very highly recommended by Prof. Hassel,
whose Endorsement. we are inclined to think.
means something. On the same coach Mr..
Howell, also a graduate of Iowa College,
accompanied by his sister, Miss Howell, were
passengers from the terminus to Salisbury.
From there they took the branch road to Vir-
sinia City, where Mir. Howell will be Priuci-
pal and Miss Howell teacher in the interme-
date department. OF the public school during
the coming term.

Foot Race.

Yesterday a foot race between John Atkin-
son, OF Waikerville, and j. J. Hammer, Of
Butte, was run, down ut the race course.
Stakes, $3.50 a side, with about IS 200, as near
as could be judged, up Oh side bets. The
race, though pretty close, was VOL by Atkin-
son without doubt. But through a strange
oversight no judges had been appointed, SO
there was no one to make al official decision
concerning the money put ur by outsiders.
For a time there was a good deal of wrang-
ling, but finally Hammers hackers acklowl-
edged the corn, aud in most cases the money
was paid over. 1t is said that the frcebooters
OF Walkerville plucked the poor Butteites to
the extent Of the figures mentioned above,
$1,000, in this little pedestrian exercise. We
can hardly believe this report, but if it is true
the Walkerville fellows ought to be ashamed
of themselves for imposing on innocence in
that hcartless fashion.

Mr.. j. F. Savlle, who has just returned
from a few weeks vacation spent in the neigh
borhood Of divide, informs us that the Hecla
company Of Glendale have lately purchased
an iron mine in Soap gulch, and that upwards
Of 40 men have already been put to work in
the mine and on the road leading to it. Iron
ore, used largely as q flux in smelling, has
heretofore been supplied the Hecla works
from Burch creek. If the Soap gulch hema-
tite is found to answer the purpose as we'll as
hat brought from the more distant locality,
a very important saving in expense Of trans
portation will be effected. Another gentle
man who came overfrom Glendale yesterday,
says fifty carpenters are at work upon the
main building being erected, to replace that
destroyed by fire some time ago. At last re-
ports the smelter was shut down to admit of
a new water jacket hearth being put in. The
job was completed some days ago, and the
furnace is now running full blast. The i'm
p~rovements going on about the works are OH
so extensive a scale that 100000 feet of lum
Der will be used within the next three OF
four weeks. So says the managing superin-
teLdent.

Sheep.

Great tlocks Of sheep are pouring in to the
West Side almost every week from Califor-
mia. Many of those sheep have the scab and
our ranchmen are not unreasonably alarmed
at the prospect OF their healthy tlocks becom-
Ing infected. Mr.. T. o. Miles, whose ranch
is four miles below Silver Bow, announces
his intention to prosecute an individual who
calnped near his premises last week with a
large band of sheep suffering from the scab.
He will also give all others a taste Of the law
who are not careful to do as it directs when
travelling in the neighborhood of his ranch
with diseased sheep.

Lamp Explosion.

Night before last just as the forms were
locked up to 60 to press, a bracket lamp ex-
ploded in our press room, occupying the base
nent. The lamp was attached to the stair
way, beneath which is a small pile of paper,
ten or twelve bundles, in the usual wrapping
Of gunny sack stuff: The explosion scattered
the burning oil promiscously over this highly
combustible material, and in a second bright
tongues of flame came streaming up into the
composing room. BY dint Of considerable
effort the flames were e%xtinguished before
any damage was done. If the Office had been
nntenanted when the accident occurred, a few
minutes Roadway would have insured an
ether fire in Butte.

Low water Mark.

A private letter received yesterday from
Benton says the Missouri is so low that the
hght-draught steamer Helena, upward bound,
was then lying at Cow Island, being unable
further to ascend the stream. On the day the
letter was writer sixteen %down-river passen-
gers left Benton by Mackiaaw to make con-
aection with the steamer at the Island. The
Missouri is at low water mark, and looking
ahead it seems as if the Missouri river nayiea-
ton was also fated to descend to low water
mark in the near future. We all understand
what a great benefit to the entire Territory is
he free navigation of the Missouri. We
grow quite eloquent in expiating upon our
happy privilege in having that "artery of
commerce" to keep railroad charges some-
where within the bounds of moderation by
Offering . competing transportation line. We
know all about the advantages of river navi-
CATION, but, after the Montana style, we are
anxious to p%erpetuate those advantages with
cut giving ourselves any trouble Or mourning
any expense on their account. We are too
nuch like the enterprising business men who
III H0i y uCSIV "a udVlllS GlelE LOWl IL
represented by a bright newsv daily paper,
but at the same time are careful to give no
support to such a paper further than to be-
stow up it the honor of their appreciation.
The road from Benton to Helena crosses the
Sun River bottom, almost all impossible mo-
rass in the wet season. Several plans of sur
mounting the difficulty offered by this bad
stretch of road have been suggested, but thus
far nothing but suggesting has been done.
Meanwhile the railroad is getting closer and
closer, and compared with il, what with low
water in the fall and bad roads in the spring,
the Benton and Missouri route is becoming
less and less a f~avorite. But steamboat lines
are not operated for amusement, any more
than newspapers are conducted for sanitary
considerations. We may find when too late
that our lack Of public spirit has caused us to
be deprived of something which we wished 10
keep, and which when once gone may not
readily be replaced.
