Explaining . Critieas@.

The Butte MINERS boorish criticism of
Miss Monroe finds nc responsive echo else
where. The circumstance that the charming
reader did not appear to the best possible adj
vantage before q Butte audience is plausibly
enough explained. The MINER editor, dead
headed to the entertainment, and occupying
a front seat, Is believed to have elevated his
feet after the fashion peculiar to him, shut
ting off a great share Of sound and sight, and
substantially spelling the acoustics of the
hall. And after that, it was adding insult to
injury for johnson to 60 off and print a col
umn of rigmarole, laying all the blame upon
the brilliant little woman who has pleased
the public everywhere except at Butte! In
gratitude, baseness, can 60 no farther than
that.-Herdld.
TIE above will convey peace Of mind to
many suffering the pangs Of an over-sensitive
sympathy. A common idea, based probably
upon their shattered appearance, has u that
our legislators are the victims Of overwork-
are drifting to certain and premature decay
through an application all too intense TO the
b-business Of the session. It will be seen
that this notion is erroneous. Since "Oily," jr.
can spare time to "evolve from the depths Of
his inner consciousness" such q jeu d'esprit
as the foregoing, his duties As legislator can
not be very severe. We hope he was safely
delivered OF his mammoth thought; judging,
though, from his cadAverous, dead-and-alive
appearance We should say the experiences
went hard with him. BY next mail we ex,
pect to hear Of his having been churched.

Letter from the Terminus.

A private letter received a few days ago
from Mr.. B. F. White, the forwarding mer-
chant at the terminus, reads as follows. The
information it contains can be presented in
no better shape than BY publishing the letter
entire -
Editor Butte MINER:
Please make it known that hereafter all
Montana shipments over the u. r. and U. N.
R. r. will be billed at contract rates instead
of regular tariff as has heretofore been the
case |; thus avoiding the trouble and necessity
Of collecting rebates. The side track at the
new station at Camas creek was completed
yesterday and we expect to get moved up
there by the last Of this week. Grading is
going ahead fast as circumstances will admit.
Track laying will not even halt at the Camas
but will be pushed forward to mouth of
cahon TO which point the terminus is expected
to be moved by Sept. LIST. The Company
evidently mean to reach Red Rock before
snow flies. Yours truly,
B. F. WHITE,
EAGLE Rock, July IA, 1873.

Among the 8 notab les , at Fort Meade is the
horse Comanche, the only survivor
of the Custer fight. THIS is the horse, it will
be remembered. that was ridden in the battle
of the Little Big Horn by Colonel Keogh.
1t was found on the battle field after the In
dams had retreated, wounded in five places.
He was tenderly nursed, put on a steamer,
and brought to Fort Lincoln. There, by
good care, he entirely recovered. By = regi-
mental order Of General Sturgis he is now
never ridden, but led with the regiment at
all mounted ceremonies, draped in the deep
est mourning. He has stood the trip from
Lincoln nicely. and is as fat as a seal. Though
about fifteen years old, he seems good for
ten more.-Heruld. '.

OtoVe-plpes are disappearing IN many
quarters about town, being replaced by brick
1ues, in compliance with the provisions of
the city ordinance made and provided. IT'S
we'll as far as it goes, which is, as yet, to no
extravagaint length, since 7stove-pipes still
abound more than numerously. From any
eminence commanding a view of our town
they can be seen projecting in stubbed self
assertion matched only by the stumpy cussed-
ness Of q cane-brake of a years growth.
While on this subject, we feel like making a
little prediction. Yes, we feel as if we were
invested with the mantle of prophecy, and
accordingly W. set up in business as prophet
by predicting that the next thing in order will
be an official raid OF every China house in
town from which q stove-pipet announces its
smoky presence. Fortunate Celsstials. Dis
tinguished Celestials. Beaten, shot, hanged,
mobbed and used up generally in the coast
cities, they have only to come to Montana to
be made the recipients of special municipal
distinctions. For their benefit our town was
incorporated. For their sakes was it that our
sanitary regulations were adopted. A Chi
naman living away out on the borders of
Chinatown, half a mile from any body, is
honored with an official visit the moment he
manifests the least disregard for the welfare
of his Celestial person by keeping q pig-pen
the reverse of odorous. Such an institution
is scented out forthwith by the official nose
when the offending son of the Sun and Moon
is dragged into the police court at once and
admonished with the gentle hint of SO and
costs that he must take better care of his
health. Now this is all very we'll, but 4 white
man is as good as a Chinaman, provided he
can pay his fine, as the Celestial always can,
and since some of our white citizens, living
in the middle of town, are the proprietors Of
premises whose odor in no way rivals the
balm of a thousand flowers, we respectfully
suggest that a little of the zeal now expended
in looking after and providing for the physical
welfare of the Chinaman should be devoted
to the wellbeing of our own people. This
thing of having a corps of officers devoted to
the interests of the Cinnamon, but neglectful
Of those Of our own people won't quite do,
We are Disseminated against. We are neg.
lected. We experience an application of the
official cold shoulder that elicits from the
Caucasian his most vigorous howl of protest
And that this is thus admits of no denial
Angels from their lofty perch if they canno'
see the truth of our remarks, are at least con
scious that they are invested with All exceed
ingly strong odor Of probability. That is
they are conscious of this odor if their Olfac
tories approach in keenness these of the Butt.
folks who guilelessly voted for the charter
that they might live in . cleanly, well policet
town, rather than hat certain OF their ener
getic fellow citizens should be provided witt
a soft thing in the way of making money.

wGlkerville.

This lively little town situated only about
a mile and a quarter from Butte would be
recognized far and near as a place Of impor-
lance were it not o~vershadowed and to a Ger
tain extent absorbed in its overgrown neigh
Dor. In Walkerville more men are employed
at good wages, and more money is in circula-
ton than in any other Montana town of three
times its population ; yet, owing to its proxim-
ity to Butte, many branches of business US
ually fourishing in a brisk mining town are
as yet but imperfectly developed. Those who
have money to spend usually come TO Butte
to spend it, and the consequence is that bust
ness languishes in our sturdy little neighbor
on the hillside. But a change may possibly
be noticed at an early date. The opening of
the 5O0-foot level of the Alice is an event Of
momentous importance to Walkerville. Good
ore being found on that level, and extensive
ore bodies, it is no secret that a 40-stainp mill
will be erected Immediately by the Alice
Company. 1t is also understood that a mar
row gauge railway will be constructed from
the works to the heavily wooded slopes on the
mountain side eight or nine miles distant.
This railroad will be intended altogether for
the transportation of fuel, of which between
80 and 40 cords per day win be consumed.
Besides the above, mention is made of other
improvements which are of less note, but
which taken together offer the prospect of en-
ployment for hundreds of busy hands. Add
to this that free lots are to be had in Walk
e~rville, where the generous proprietors of the
patented ground adjoining the Alice convey
the title of town lots to those actually resid-
ing upon them, and we have quite sufficient
grounds to expect q rapid growth of Walker
vile within q very short time. We are not
addicted to encouraging stampedes. There is
just now no occasion whatever for anything
resembling a stampede. Any rush in this d.
rection would at present be premature, and
would be attended with disastrous results.
Still, we would advise the workingmen Of
Montana, those at least who are in search of a
locality in, which employment under good
wages can be found, to keep an eye on the de-
v~elopments to be made at Walkerville within
the next three months. If those developments
prove favorable that town will very soon be
the great labor mart of Montana. NfSf

MILLING

The Dexter mill was shnt down ! day or
two ago to remain closed about . veek during
which time will be madeithes chsnees neces-
sary to convert the mill from : dry " . wet
crushor. The smeltets, In which the owner
OF the Dexter 10 interested, Will soon be in
operation, when ores too base for resembling
processes can be worked to better advantage
by. smelling than By roasting and arnalga-
ting. Working ~ a wet crusher the Dexter
will reduce five tons per day more than its
present average ut . labor outlay Of two men
less than the force employed insdry crushing.
The introduction Of the appliances required
in wet crushing will not involve any change
Of the apparatus heretofore In use. In future
the mill can be used either ~ q dry or as a
wet crusher As its manager may elect.
The Cornish rolls, sampling mill, etc. of
the new smelling works were put in opera
ton last week and will hereafter run as
occasion NAV require. Ores are now cor
reetly sampled and purchased at their true
market value by the smelling cosspany.

How many Mountainous are there who date
Dir residence ia these wilds far back into
early days and are yet ignorant of the fact
y the summer night in our Territory pre-
IS a scene of ~sub-tropical beauty, from the
BGions of fire-fies to be found In suitable
kalities? To many'the circumstance We
kntion will recall only one of the most
|nmon spectacles OF their daily lives but
confess that, until quite lately, the writer,
hough a Montanian from way back, had
idea that midsummer nights were en-
|sned by a dream Of tropical beauty. Re-
pity, in a night-drive towards Helena
rough the Prickly Pear valley, what a food
recollections was revived when we sud-
|nly perceived that the dark ground of the
Dds in the low land on either side of the
ID was sparkling and glimmeIing with
pntfcss myriads Of the little creatures
sOse contributions towards the beauty of
FTexan night ian never be forgotten by
one who has passed q summer in the
Pne Star State. What memories OF boy
Pod's years were revived by that scene !
hat episodes Of foreign travel in sunny
mes came freshly to mind at sight OF those
~pnentary flashes. We confess we were sur
hed-frst, At the appearance Of the long
gotten apparition of nocturnal beauty, and
p, that SO striking a spectacle should never
Pc been mentioned by the papers published
Ne by. Upon reflection, however. we have
asidered 1t quite probable that the gentle
p connected with the Helena press are not
y regular in attendance at prayer-meetings

s are to be seen In that neiehborhood.

Communication
PRESCOTT, March 13, 1879.

EDITOR SENTINEL:-A paragraph ap-
pears in your issue of the Sth inst, to the
effect that the Prescott amateur theatrical
troupe has "busted up" Your informant
is mistaken; the company is not disband-
ed. A performance was advertised for
the 18th, but did not take place. The
reason announced before the curtain,
after quite number Of persons had taken
seats, was that two of the ladies who were
billed for parts IN one of the plays, had
been J0r6idders to 60 to the theatre.
1t is understood the club entirely ac-
quits the ladies of all blame in the mat
ter, as they were up in their parts, and
ready to proceed to the theatre and go on
with the play; the ladies were allowed to
make all preparations for the perform
ance, and their names were announced
In the programme for the evening.
The Glib was organized for the a1huse-
ment and pleasure of our citizens, and, if
we may judge from the comments of the
papers of this place, and from the re-
marks OF our citizens generally, the OBJ
ject of the organization has succeeded
beyond the expectation of the most san
guine.
1t is understood that no member Of the
club derives any pectniart benefit from
the performances; on the contrary, they
are all put to more or less expense in the
preparation of plays for proper presenta-
ton.
The money received is, after the pay
ment of necessary expenses, devoted to
the liquidation of the debt incu re- in
building the theatre. This hall is Gre
DIT to the town.
The forbidding of the ladies to take
part in the play is regarded as wanton
insult, not only to the club, but to the
public, and could have been offered only
by one utterly devoid of the first princl-
pies of honor, and yet this person occu-
pies position which some say moulds
public opinion. Save tie mark!

THE case of the Williams & Kellinger
Mining Company vs.. the Winthrop Min
ing Company involving the title to a Sill
yer mine in Shasta county, which occupi:
ed the Nineteenth District Court for five
days, terminated yesterday with verdict
for defendants. Plaintiffs located the mine
in 1868, and up to 1870 expended over SIS,
900 in its development. They then sban-
doned the NINE and it was relocated by
defendants in 1874. 1t was claimed that
plaintiffs had forfeited their title under
the Act of Congress II May, 1872, and the
jury 80 found, rendering verdict for de-
PENDANTS without leaving The box.

A MAN who goes around after a woman
Is a good deal like prospector hunting
for mine. You see d woman at ball and
she is all frizzled up and rugged out in
silk and painted where the skin shows
itself. These surface groupings look
pretty we'll but if you locate on the
strength of 'em you'll get fooled every
time. A woman of that kind is just like
a salted mine: Don't you take any stock
III her. She won't wash. If you want to
prospect little further slide up and take
an assay of her conversation. Ah, my,
boy! Thres per cent, of intelligence,
twenty-five of fashionable etiquette, and
the rest frivolity, conceit, ignorance and
vanity, mixed up in about equal parts.
Drop her right away. Such rock won't
pay to mill. A woman's heart is mighty
curions thing. Take it in all it's dips,
spurs, angles ramifcations and sinuoslties
and it's more of puzzls then our silver
sandstone formation. Some fellows try
to work it and by pure luck, strike it rich
right off in places where old experinced
prospectors never supposed there was
anything.-Silver Reef Miner.

YUMA ARIZONA SATURDAY MARCH g. 1879

Gila river even, many man has
been pierced to death with Apache
bullets and arrows. It was at a
point upon this stream, about mid
way between Yuma and Mari
copa, that the Oatman family
were surprised and several of the
family killed. Picacho, about
fifty miles from Tucson. was a
dangerous place upon the Butter
field road, and manypersons have
been killed at this point. But
none of these roads were SO dan
gerous as the roads leading out
of Tucson to Apache Pass and to
Tubac and vicinity. Indeed, it is
safe to say that hundreds have
been slain within a radius of fifty
miles of this place. 1t was at or
near Tubac that Hopkins, and
Grosvenor were murdered by
Cochise's Apaches.
Tubac is even now a struggling
cluster of ruins, which is being
gradually levelled with the sur
rounding adobe through the in
fuence of the elements. But
some few new houses have been
built, and others will soon be
erected, as it is only natural that,
situated as it is, in the very heart
of wonderfully-rich mining and
agricultural section; Tubac must
again become a place of some
Importance. B. c. T.
