Successful Working OF the Placer MINI
"A Chance for Unmarried Ladies.

Special Correspondence of the MINER.
Though Beartown is an unimportant camp
compared with prosperous and %fourishing
Butte, and though there is perhaps no present
prospect of a successful rivalry on our part
between the two places, late developments
have given us renewed hope for an increasing
and permanent prosperity and we confidently
expect that the clean up torthe year willshow
that the industry and enterprise ofour citizens
have added very materially to the precious
metal production of the rest of the Territory.
The graded road built by popular subscrip-
ton of money and the individual labors of
our mining population has been completed
for over two weeks and will add very materi-
ally to the rapid development Of the district.
Heretofore there was no connection by wagon
road with the outside world and the result
was that freights were so high that neither
machinery nor merchandise could be shipped
will any degree of profit.
The placers are all looking we'll. Those
in the lower end of the gulch will not be
worked during the entire winter season in
consequence of the water freezing up, but
operations in the immediate vicinity Of town
will continue uninterrupted.
Many of the boys are accumulating money,
and it is safe to say that all are making fair
wages. When The spring opens, therefore,
and water becomes abundant, a wonderful re-
vival may be expected, and the persevering
miners of the gulch will once more be finan-
cially we'll heeled and ready to get married.
Speaking of getting married, reminds me OF
the remarkable scarcity of the fair sex in this
town of otherwise abundant resources.
Can't you ship us over half a dozen ladies
from Butte, or has the recent matrimonial
epidemic of which the MINER speaks resulted
in the location and p~atenting Of all your fem.
mime property? SLUICE.

New County Jail.

The NeW North Vest has the following to
say of the new Jail
The best public building belonging to this
county, and one of the best Jail buildings in
the Territory has just been completed by the
contractors and accepted by the County Com
missioners. 1t is a W story building, with
basement. The foundrtion walls of stone
two feet thick are eight feet deep and sur
mounted by sixteen-inch brick walls. The
roof is of heavy tin with two coats of paint.
The architecture of the building is pleasing
its location convenient to the Court House,
and the work throughout appears to be sub
stantial and workmanlike. The cost of con-
struction and furnishing aggregates SIT 900.

The following telegram from the Terminus
was yesterday morning received BY Mr.. Lee
Mantle
Chris Gudh, waybilled from the Divide, has
lust shot himself at the terminus. Can you
help me find his relatives or friends
L. J. FISK.
1t is most likely that the person referred
to is a man named Chris Guth, who has been
engaged for a number of years running a
brewery at Philipsburg. His name being
Guth. the remarkable similarity in the
spelling of Guth and Gudh gives color to
the apprehension that he is the man who has

Energetic preparations are being made by
the New York Copper Company to begin the
work of reducing their copper ore at the ear
liest practicable moment. The time of be-
ginning operations can not be positively stated,
as that is largely to be determined by the
future state of the weather at the terminus,
but enough material has already arrived for
all present operations. The engine and boiler
of 40-horse power, and an improved Blake
crusher are now on the ground, and the work
of excavating for the building of the smelter
is rapidly progressing. The castings for the
water jacket furnace and 5000 friedrich are
at the terminus awaiting transportation, and
provided the weather is at all favorable Mr..
Meader is confident of his ability to have the
business in running order by the middle of
January.
The smelter will have a capacity to reduce
between twenty and thirty-five tons of ore
daily, and as there is practically no limit to
the amount of ore which can be extracted
from the company's mining property, it is
most likely that the latter figure will be nearer
the amount put through. An assay office,
commodious and perfect in all its appoint
ments, will be erected in a few days adjacent
to the site of the reduction works. In this
Office Mr.. Wartenweiler will conduct the nee
essary experiments, and ascertain the best
and cheapest method of manipulating the ore.
The gentleman has had large and successful
experience in treating the ores of Utah, and
besides being a thoroughly scientific chemist
and metallurgist, is also a decidedly practical
one, so that under his direction the profitable
handling of the copper ore is assured beyond
a reasonable doubt.
The business office in the upper part of
Main street is rapidly approaching compile
ton. 1t contains two rooms for the office
employees, and a comfortable, large and con-
venient apartment for the transaction of the
general business of the company. 1t will be

Mrs. W. W. Chapman returned home from
Virginia City, Friday, accompanied by her
two sisters, Misses Annie and Mamie Rod
gers. The young ladies will remain until
after the holidays.
The coroner's jury called to investigate the
death of Mr.. Thomas Maginnis returned a
verdict in accordance with the facts as already
published. The unfortunate victim of the
tragedy will be buried at Bannack city.
Of the Bodie mines, the Neps says: The
work of development goes forward at a rapid
pace, and every envrgy is being put forth to
open up the different mines along the lo1e.
The principal point of attraction during the
week has been the rich strike in the Ad-
denda.
Mr.. Thomas Godfrey is this year the vic
tim OF many misfortunes. The latest, and
let lis hope it will be the last, occurred but a
day or two ago. He was passing across the
floor of a stable and partially fell through a
hole in the planks, breaking two ribs and Sc
riously bruising his left knee and right elbow.
Medical assistance was at once called and his
distress alleviated as much as possible.
1t now transpires that Mr.. Chris. Guth, of
Philipsburgh, is not the man referred to IN
yesterdays MINER as having suicided at the
terminus. as he was heard of at his home
only about three days ago, which fact pre-
cludes the possibility of his having killed
himself as suggested. The mar who did
commit the act of self-destruction was named
according to the dispatch, Christ Gudh, and
as our genial lightning manipulation wrath
fully resents the implication that he made a
"bulP" in taking the telegram, it is after all
possible hat it was not the Philipsburg mar
who climbed the golden stairs.

According to reliable information obtained

he precise nature Of the work going on at
shelter of the Colorado and Montana
npany is not generally understood, and
h the fact that the product does not figure
bng the regular bullion shipments, it has
D supposed by some that the operations
of no great Importance to the camp. The
trary, however, is true, as the product of
company adds very materially to the in
sing output of this prosperous and -four
ng district. The smelter was erected and
ow owned by a company incorporated in
orado.
he ore at present being worked is chiefly
per-silver ore from the Gagnon mine,
Ere it is purchased at the dump. The as
value of the present supply is between $50
500 in silver per ton, but is chiefly valu-
E for the high per centage of copper it con-
IS. There is no refinery connected with
works, the product of the furnaces being
bped as matte, concentrated as much as
sible.
The ore, on being brought to the reduction
Eks is first put through a Blake crusher,
kr which it is still further pulverized by the
tnish rollers. 1t is next put through a
rse of treatment in the re-. erberatory fur
Ees, where all volatile substances are elimi-
Jed as far as possible. Finally it is taken to
smelter, which is in separate building,
ore it is reduced to a molten condition,
on being drawn off, is ready for exporta-
as copper-silver matte, and shipped to
Blackhawk and Colorado smelling works
Colorado to be separated and refined.
About fifty per cent. of the matte is copper,
It's assay value IN silver ranges from 5000
BOO per ton. The works have a capacity
eight tons per day, and the monthly out
of bullion seldom falls short of 500, 900.
nsidering the fact that the works have been
operation only since last August, and that
ny small difficulties have more or less de-
ed continuous operation, the showing is
3hly creditable, not only to the camp but to
scientific skill and enterprise displayed by
Williams, the superintendent. The only
btacle in the way of a grand financial sue
S for the company is the fact that the
elter is dependent for its ore supply on
mes which it does not control. Every
ind of ore reduced is previously purchased,
3ich necessarily adds largely to the cost of
e~rations.
