The Sunny Side.

A rich strike on this claim was reported
some ten days ago but recent developments
haye been of a nature to justify further men-
ton. The lode is situated a short distance
northeast of town, iun east and west and
pitches TO the south, but SO steep as to descend
almost vertically. A shaft sunk on the lode
reached water level at the depth Of thirty-two
feet, from which point a level has been OPEN
ed west so feet. This level follows a two-foot
vein of ore which, taken together, averages
SO or. per ton. The first class, found in a
vein four inches wide, carries from 800 to 100
ounces of silver to the ton. The Sunny Side
is the property of Messrs. John A. Rowand
and Ed. Baxter, who have devoted eight
months labor to the task of opening it.
Enough ore is already in sight a6undantly to
repay them for their entire outlay of money
and labor, while the claim promis es to be
still better deeper down.

A Character OF Earlier Montana.

The Bodie (Cal. } Free Press thus alludes
to the death of a character well known
in Montana.
The inquest OH the body of Eleanore
DumOnt ("Madame Mustache") took place
this afternoon at 3 o'clOck-too late tor publ
cation in this issue. The drug used by the
unfortunate woman, in taking her life, was
morphine. DR.. Roe analysed the contents of
the bottle found by her side, and it proved to
be a mixture of claret wine and the above
narcotic.
Those who remember the Madame will
agree hat she commanded q degree of re-
spect very rarely accorded to one of her class,
respect due to traits of character which may
be inferred from the following incident:
At the discovery of tho Kootenai mines in
British Columbia the Madame Joined the

excitement, and was among the first to arrive
at the new camp, where the very flattering
appearance Of the eigglngs led her not only to

as a gambling saloon and dance hall. But
the camp tailed to realize the expectations of

disfavor with the tickle prospectors who we're

from Carpenters bar, Montana, so that the
Madame soon found herself ip the most dis

Here she prospered and made money fast
A year later the Elk creek strike sent her to
the mushroom town of Reynolds City and
while there she met the contractors who had
built her Kooienai saloon and to whom she
was still indebted. Having been contracted
in a foreign country the debt was of course
beyond the reach of what little law there was
at that time in Montana (there wasn't
enough to hurt) while the contractors,
working there for days wages, would proba-
bly, have laughed at the idea OF presenting
their bill But nevertheless, rs soon as the
Madame learned they were there, she

Truthful and honest, whatever other faults she
might have had, always smiling, never forget

Slurs on Woman.

OF all evils prevalent among young
~ men,lWe know of none more blight
pr( ing in its moral effects than 10 speak
lightly ofthe virtues OF women. Nor
a. is there anything in which young
~ men arc so thoroughly mistaken as
- tho low estimate they form Of the
| integrity of women. Not of their
= own mothers and sisters, but Of 9th
s .,.2"rs, who they frrgct arc somebody
clsc's mothers and sisters. AS rule,
no person who surrcndcrs to this de-
i'basing habit is to be trusted with an
i q enterprise requiring integrity Of char
actcr. Plain words should be spoken
on this point, for the evil is gcncr-
> sal one,y and deep-rootcd. If young
,,,. men ore sometimes thrown into So
cicty of thoughtless or dcpravcd wo-
y" men, they have no right to measure
q all other women by what they sec Of
:, these than they have to estimate the
character Of honest and respectable
" ''citizens j by the developments Of crime
oG kin our police courts. Let our young
men remember that their chief happi-
ness in life depends upon their utter
4. faith in women. No worldly wisdom,
no misanthropic philosophy, no gene
ralization can cover or weaken truth
1t stands like the record itself-tor it
is nothing less than ths-and should
put an everlasting seal upon the lips
A.1 that are wont to speak lightly Of
women.
