c3th,

HuSbandman, Goth.
We are Informed that orders have been re-
ceived at Fort Logan to supend improve
ments, except to fix up the buildings on the
inside. This indicates that the long antici-
pated removal of this post to the Musselshell
valley, is to be carried into effect next season.
Messrs. Walwork & Anderson, who have
been placer mining this SUMNER, turned off
the water last week for the season. Theft
summers operations include the building or
a ditch, running an open cut and putting in a
f1ume about 1000 feet in length, reaching
bedrock at a depth of II feet. During the
winter they will give their attention to the
development of quartz mines in the vicinity
of Thompson gulch.
James King has been employing a force of
over twenty men on his fume for the past
two weeks, and hopes to get through in two
weeks more. When completed it will prob
ably be the best tlume in Montana. 1t is seven
feet wide with a partition, thus doing away
with the necessity of a side ditch. In the
spring when there is plenty of water he can
run both fumes, and in mid summer after
the water falls, run one, thus enabling him
to make a longer seasons work. The flume
will do good execution next season.

GENERAL JOE ROCKER,

Our dispatches this morning chronicle the
death of General Joe Hooker.
General Hooker was born at Hadley, Massa-
chusetts, near the Connecticut in 1916.
When about IS he entered West Point, grad
uating in 1897. His record in the Florida
war and in the war with Mexico, was very
high. For bravery and gallant conduct at
Monterey, National Bridge and ~Choupultepec
he was highly commended. Wearied of army
life in time of peace, he resigned in 1858 and
took a ranch in California: but at the first
opening of the Civil war he rendered his SER
vices to his country, being appointed briga-
der general. In 1862 he had charge of the
Army of the Potomac and took an active part
in the Mcclellan campaign. The next year
we find him taking the foremost place in the
military movements near Chattanooga, and
for the bravery displayed in the battle OF
Lookout Mountain, he was brevetted Major
General. In 1868 he was made Brevet Major
General Of the United States Army, at which
time he retired from active service, At the
time of his death he was 81 years of age, but
seemingly in good health,

LABORERS AND STRIKES.

A telegram in this paper records another
strike in the eastern part of the country. The
greatest objection that can he brought against
strikes is, that they always operate against
the poor man. An intelligent gentleman
the president of a large association of laborers
was asked not long ago if he knew of one
striker who gained more money than he lost
by being kept out of employment till the EN-
ployer made concessions Or refused to make
them? His answer was that he could not
mention a solitary case. 1t sometimes results,
indeed, that an advance in wages is allowed,
but very seldom will this pay for the tax upon
the members of the Union to support kin
dred organizations Or will it pay the expenses
of the laborers while they are thrown out of
employment.
Moreover, as soou as the excitement is over
it frequently happens that the employer
quietly removes the disturbing workmen and
supplies their places with others in whom he
occur that the advance is refused, and the
workman must go back to his work, having
gained nothing, but having lost his time.
Sometimes they commit acts of violence.
These always react on the laborers in two
ways. First, our government guarantees pro-
lection to men and property, and Furnishes
severely those ~injuring either. The govern
ment can, if necessary, call 10 its assistance
all the strength of the country. 1t is as use
less to resist its power as to fight a tornado.
A mob of worknen is pow rless before it,and
nothing but imprisonment or death can be
the reward of those who such
measures of violence. Again, capital is
frightened away and seeks new channels of
investment. There are a thousand ways of
investing capital. If the hands in shoe man.
ufactories strike, then capital is taken out of
that business and put out to interest in banks,
put into real estate, or in any other of the

DEATH OF AN OLD MONTANIAN.

In another column is given the news of the
death of Hon. Jas. NJ. Cayanaugh, who at
one time figured largely, in Montana politics,
and twice was sent from this Territory as
Delegate to Congress. His biography would
undoubtedly be full of interest. We are able
to give only a brief sketch of his life.
He was born in Massachusetts, about the
about So years of age. While quite young he
came to Minnesota, and was there at the time
of her admission into the Union i'll 1857, and
was chosen to represent TIE new State in
Congress. In 1861 he left Minnesota and
came to Colorado, where. engaging in politics
again, he ran OH all independent ticket for
Delegate, but was defeated. While i'll Colo
RADIO the news of The rich discoveries of gold
in Montana attracted his attention, and in
1865 he turned his course to this Territory.
Here he formed a partnership with W. F.
Chadwick. Esq, and engaged in the practice
of law. He had not pructiced two years be-
forel he was again a candidate for political
honors. In 1867 he ran on the Democratic
ticket against Col. Sanders, and in 1869
against Acting Governor Tufts, defeating both,
thus representing the Territory in Congress
for two terms. But in 1870 he was defeated
at the nominating convention by E. W. Toole,
Esq and shortly after he left the Territory
for Washington, u. G., where he remained a
short time. Since then he has been in New
York city, where he has engaged in ward
politics until a short time ago, when he re-
turned to Leadvllle, Colorado. There he died

Revolution I'm Telegraphy.

The new American Rapid Telegraph Com
pany has all the poles set between Boston
and New York, and over 100 miles of wire
strung, putting up two strings, those being all
that will be required by this new process.
The work is going on from both ends of the
route. Some delay is experienced in the de-
livery of the wire, OH account of the slow
process in the manufacture of all entire new
style, which is steel thickly coated with cop
per.
1t will require some length of time yet for
the line to be put in full running order, the
company intending to do the work thoroughly
and substantially, as it is no ephemeral or eX-
detrimental undertaking. When the line
shall be in successful operation from here to
New York, work will be pushed on toward
Washington, and not TO Chicago, as at one
time intended. After Washington. Chicago
will be the next objective point.
The method of ~telegraphy used by this
company is purely mechanical, messages being
sent by simply turning Il crank, and requires
10 hand-key operators. Perforated paper, is
used in preparing messages for transmission,
and they are received Oh strips similar to the
Morse system. Low grade Of operators only
will be required, and schools for instruction
have been Instituted both in Boston and New
York, in which young men and women are
taught at the expense Of the company.

THE MINE.
NO. =.
Editor Butte n

Editor Butte MINER.
Before bidding farewell to the mine l am
requested to correct an error made by Mr..
White in one of his able letters to the New
York Tribune, in regard to the price for this
mine. Mr.. N. S. Vestal received 100000 for
the property and all the bullion it would
produce until the money was paid over. The
mine and all equipments on this property was
turned over to Mr.. Walter McDermott, agent
for Mr.. w. B. Frue, on September II, 1878.
The cars that carry the quartz from mine
to mill are loaded from chutes under the rock
breaker and run down the tramway, $500
feet III length, to the lO00-ton ore house near
the mill. The tramroad works nicely. Two
cars, holding % tons each, are let down at
once, drawing up two empty ones. From the
lower ore house the quartz is trammed Oh a
short track and dumped before the stamps in
the mill. The mill at present has forty
stamps in constant operation with room for
twenty more. TIE new 75-horse power
Fraser II Chalmers engine, with two large
boilers to furnish the steam, occupy the new
2SX4O engine house. The quartz, after being
crushed in the batteries, flows over copper
plates and passes through shaking boxes from
which it passes over copper plates thence over
a series of blanket sluices and through llfled
sluice boxes until it is caught in two large
wooden tanks and is shoveled out into a large
pile for future treatment. The ~tailings, after
all the manipulation above described, are
said to contain S. TO the ton in gold Oh an
average. Forty. tons per day (23 hours) are
treated. Nine men are employed in and
about the mill on the two shifts. The aras-
ira, situated a short distance below the mine,
is now run by the 15-horse power engine, un-
til recently used for hosting at the mine.
Five new beds were added to these works
last spring, which makes a total OF eight beds
and one settler. About six IONS per "a hours
are treated by this process. Only the very
highest grade ore is treated in the arastra and
thereby a much higher per cent. is sayed than
by the stamp mill process. Six men are enl-
ployed IN and about the arastra. Among the
many Improvements made during the past
year. mention may be made of three new
engine houses, one-half mile of drifts, shafts
and wines, aided in tie mine, the tramway
