DISASTROUS FOREST FIRE.


.. .as .--. - .
About one o'clock Yesterday afternoon
dense volumes of smoke rolling up and OBJ
securing the northern horizon gave rise for a
little while to the liveliest fears respecting the
safety of Walkerville. With the furious
wind then prevailing a fire would have meant
instant destruction to anything combustible
within its reach, and for a moment much
anxiety was felt concerning the safety of the
works upon whose preservation the welfare
of Butte so largely depends. But here the
telephone line was thought of, and with some
difficulty, owing to the swaying and clashing
of the wires, the query, ANY fire at Walk
erville ?" was sent. The response conveyed
the gratifying intelligence that Walkerville
and the Alice works were safe, but added the
news only less painful that a fire was
sweeping over the hills to the north of town,
hills which were known to be covered with
thousands of cords of wood, already cut and
awaiting market. Further than the tele-
phone dispatch nc report was received until
six O'Clock when Mr.. Frank Carey brought
the news that a fire originating at one of the
saw mills in Bull Run gulch had swept north
ward to the head of Yankee Doodle, consum-
ing at least two thousand cords of wood that
lay in its path. From the scene OF the dis
aster all appeal was made to Walkerville for
assistance in trying to save another lot OF
three thousand cords that was considered in
great danger. As soon as this call for help
was received the Alice mine was closed, the
miners willingly taking their way in company
with many others, to do what they could for
the relief of the threatened district. To re-
port the success met with we must await to-
morrow's paper. At nightfall the wind
which had been blowing hard from the
south during the day turned to blow almost
as hard directly from the north. AT present
writing there is danger that the fire will be
carried southwark from Bull Run to the edge
of the timber skirting Walkerville to the
north. iii it takes this course it is difficult to
estimate the damage it will do. Even as it is
many a poor fellow who has worked faithful
ly through the hot summer has seen the fruits
of his hard labor pitilessly swept away. AS
we go to pless Butte is invested with smoke
which, laden with the unmistakable odor of
a forest fire, renetrates to the most secret re-
cesses of our dwellings where it tells its ST.
lieut. story of the disaster which has taken
place and of the Disappointment, the suffering
which must unavoidably ensue.

The killing Of IIannOfen.

The description given bv an eye witness of
the Vipond homicide makes out a very bad
case against Madison. According to his &C.
count, the two men were drinking in Madi-
sons saloon, no third party being present.
What the quarrel was about is not known,
the first intimation the outsiders received of
difficulty being the appearance of Hannofen
in full flight from the premises closely
pursued by Madison. When some
distance from the door Hannofen turned to
look towards his pursuer, but was immedi-
ately shot through the lungs by the latter.
The shot brought him to earth, but in a mo-
ment he attempted to regain his feet, when
Madison coming up beat him down with his
revolver, kicked and stamped upon the pros
trate form, then fired two more shots, either
one as well as the first, inflicting a mortal
wound. Intact, it is said the last shot was
fired into Halnofen's dead body. Madison
had his examination at Glendale yesterday.
He was committed without bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury.

Death or ii. &. WiebbOld.

A letter received yesterday by Mr.. Geo. c.
Fitschen, says FL. C. Wiebbold, well known
in this portion of Montana. died at San Fran
cisco on the night of the 18th inst, and was
buried the day following by the Masons. Mr..
Wiebhold came to Montana in the summer
OF '66, when Butte was a stirring " camp of
log cabins and canvas tents. From that
year until the summer of 20 he was in bust
ness at this place but at the latter date he
removed to Silver Bow, where he established
himself in the mercantile business, remaining
there until quite lately, when the hope that
a change of climate would bring about a
change for the better in the malady he was
suffering from-dropsy-led him to under
take the California journey that proved his
last. Besides his store at Silver Bow, Mr..
Wiebbold was largely interested in city prop
erty in the business quarter of Butte. He
also owned some very valuable ditch prop
erty, among others the Basin ditch and the
Divide Greek ditch. A large circle of Mon
tana friends will hear with sincere regret the
not unexpected news of his death.

A gentleman from Glendale informs lis
that the Hecla Company have located one
mile of the tramway by which it is proposed
to connect the Trapper mines with the Glen
dale smelter, and that thirty men are already
at work grading. The tramway is to be pro-
vided with iron rails which will be set on a
grade at no place to exceed 600 feet to the
mile. In the transportation of the ore-cars
mules will be used, the grade not being
adapted to steam. To establish a grade suit
able to the employment of the locomotive
would have made it necessary to introduce
curves sufficient to make the line fifteen
miles in length instead of nine, while the
increase in expense would have been at even
a greater ratio. The great trouble encoun-
tered in the transportation of ore from Lion
City has proceeded from the fearful condition
of the roads in spring and early summer.
This difficulty will be obviated by the tram
way which will be in as good condition at
one season of the year as at another. The
uniformity of the grade In descending Trap
per creek from the mines will make the down
trip a matter of little difficulty, no matter
how heavy the load.

Yesterday Mr.. c. e. Thurstor, one of the
was IN Butte looking for workmen. Mr.. c.
says there is not a surplus man at Deer Lodge.
Everybody is busy and accordingly when a
demand arises for extra help outside places
must be looked to to supply it. lnasmuch as
IA similar report has already been made on
several occasions it might be advisable for
strangers looking for work to try their for
tune at Deer Lodge. They could find no
prettier town to live in; no better people to
live among. Mr.. Thurston says the stone
foundation of the Jail is completed, and the
brick work about to begin. If he succeeds in
getting help of the quality desired lii" roof
will be on by the first of October.

Another Claim TO be Opened.

For some time back rumor has had it that
A. j. Davis was about to sink below water on
his Lexington mine. Whether such was at
any time Mr.. Davis intention we are not i'll
formt d but if it was we have the best author
iy for stating that it has been abandoned.
No deep sinking will be lone on the LeXing-
ton this year, bat instead another claim, a
claim as yet untouched, will be opened. This
claim is the Alexandra, situated about $50
feet south of the Lexington, and running par
allel to that lode. 1t is to be opened imme-
d'ately by two shafts, one directly south of
the Lexington whim shaft, the other 200 feet
further west. Those shafts will be sunk to
water, a whip put on each, and levels opened
east and west. The Alexandra shows at the
surface a three-foot vein of low grade ore,
WEIGH is expected to improve with depth. 1t
pitches to the south, with a grade similar to
the Lexington.

The Fire.

At nine O'Clock last evening we were IA
vored with a call from Mr.. j v. Long, Walk
~erville, who gave us the particulars Of the
great fire, so far as ascertained up to that
hour. As at first reported the fire started at
Lavell's saw mill, Bull Run gulch. From
there it was carried by the wind to Yankee
Doodle gulch, and then up the gulch for at
least three miles, consuming everything in its
path. Towards evening, when the wind
changed, the flames doubled on their track,
coming back towards the south and destroy
ing some large piles of wood that had been
closely skirted on its first trip. Mr.. Long
was one of the relief party which set out only
to return as soon as the magnitude of the
conflagration was ascertained. No human
power can stay the flames. They must burn
until they burn out through exhaustion of
material to prey upon. Up to eight o'clock,
when our informant left the smoke bedimmed
scene, upwards of 5000 cords of wood had
been consumed, all the balance being in ex-
IRENE danger. Indeed, it is thought that the
wood escaping destruction will amount to less
than 500 cords, all told. OF those who suf-
fered losses We can as yet give only this brief
enumeration Walker & ladder, 500 cords;
SiIas Prather, 400 cords James Geary, 800
cords; Alice Company, 500 cords; W. A.
Clark, 500 cords. Besides the above, Jack
Lingle had 1000 cords towards which the fire
was maksng its remorseless way when MIR.
Long turned from the scene. Lavell's mill
and Catching's mill were also thought to be
in great danger.

From .Missoula county comes the news
that a placer claim embracing 100 acres
has been located on Trout Creek, close to Ce-
dar, the location being made on the 10Th of
this month. As there had not been a man at
work on the creek for months, the ground was
considered as that of an abandoned mining
district, and as such was located under the
U. S. laws. Besides this, the ground COW
cred by this location has been living un-
claimed, and unowned for years, even those
who last worked on the creek having no
claim on it Whatever. 1t was taken up under
the general mining laws because it is to be
opened by machinery, a costly undertaking.
Quite a handsome sum is to be staked ON the
venture, and it was not deemed expedient to
take any chances on the insecure title con-
ferred by location and representation !" un-
der miners local laws which might have
been revived for the purpose. With a title
secured by patent costly machinery will be
introduced and the ground opened at once,
and it is sincerely to be hoped that such will
be the course Of events. Trout Creek has al
ways been looked upon as one Of the great
placers Of Montana. Men have lost their
time, means, health, everything, in the effort
to open it; but for various reasons the drains
have never reached bed rock, 50 the secret of
1873 when work was begun is still a secret
to-day. 1t is mitch to be desired, then, that
the new company may succeed. The creek
is about 80 miles long. If rich at one point
it is likely rich for the greater part Of its en-
tire length, and in that case it will soon sup
port a busy mining community Of several
hundred men TO furnish a market for home
productions and set plenty of money in cir
c~ulation in Missoula county. Location by
patent may at first glance be thought u%nfavor-
able for such a state of things, but it is not.
A drain driven by one company is always
carr led ahead far more rapidly than it is by
the owners of small segregated claims among
whom nothing resembling system can be oh
served. Consequently, with the whole creek
covered by a few extensive locations a much
greater number of,rnen would find steady
employment than if the ground we're divided
into 2OO-foot claims, each having a separate
ownership. This is or the supposition that
the creek is rich in gold. On the other hand,
if it is barren, if it offers nothing to repay the
tremendous hardship already suffered in the
attempt to unlock its secret, the sooner the
fact is demonstrated the better will it be for
numbers on whom a firm belief in the hid
den wealth of Trout has ever exerted q most
disquieting influence.

broadway Culvert.

81 -I- ~
A short time ago our city authorities adver-
tised for bids for the construction of bridges
within the city limits, among others for one
on Broadway where that street crosses Blffa-
10 gulch. According to plans then entertain-
ed it was the intention to build, at a probable
cost of $500, an ordinary wooden bridge of
sufficient width to allow two teams to pass.
But this idea will probably be improved upon.
provided those owning property in the neigh
borhood of the crossing are willing to con-
made necessary by the improvement sug-
gested. The improvement is embraced in the
proposal of Messrs. Steele e. Sutton who offer
to construct for $500 an arched culvert of the
following description: The foundations of
the cu!vert will be 1o- inch stone walls, rest
ing On the solid bedrock on each side. This
stone work viii; be brought up to the level of
the ground in the bed of the creek. From
there upward the cnlyert will be of 12-inch
brick walls, the brick laid in cement. Width
from one wall to the other, five feet. The
perpendicular wall on each side to be five
feet high, measured from the top of the stone
work to the base Of the arch, the crown of
the arch to be two feet and a half higher still.
This will afford an opening 5x7aa feet, quite
sufficient to allow free passage for any volume
of water to be expected in Buffalo gulch.
But the best feature of the proposed improve
ment is the length Of the culvert, 80 feet, or
the full width of the street. With a properly
constructed culvert of this description Broad
way could be graded up to the level of Main
street at the point where the two streets cross,
and Main is 10 be taken as the standard in
establishing the grade of the cross streets.
The owners of property on Broadway are
asked to contribute $500 of the $500 required.
With that amount subscribed the city author
tiles will provide the rest, and will see to the
letting of the contract, etc.

The Alder Guscfa Strike.

The citizens of Virginia City, living as
they are OH the bank of a creek from whose
bed millions worth of gold has been taken
right under their eyes, are somewhat hard to
excite on the subject Of mining. The typical
Virginian is almosts stampede proof; almost, but
not quite. Private advices inform us the Al
der gulch folks at present have got it ; got it
bad over a recent discovery at the head of the
creek. The following is a mildly drawn des-
cription of the new find. as related to us by
one who has seen it "with his own eyes,"
which means, We suppose, that he did not
take a reportorial view of it by looking at it
with the eyes of his imagination. at the
head of Alder gulch the country rock is slate.
Further down the creek it is granite, and it is
right on the line of junction of the two diff
terent formations, the granite and slate, that
the new lode has been discovered. The
ledge is about one hundred feet in width,
bearing gold in every portion. no part of il
yielding less than S12 per ton. The first-class
ore is found in Il vein ftteentect wide, which
averages a little over Shopper ton. The
quartz is very soft, so soft that it. can be pail
ned or washed in sluicc boxes and a very
considerable proportion of its treasure saved
by that primitive process. The above is the
story told us by the Virginian. Does it sound
as if the narrator were at all afflicted with
the mining fever?
