At present the Territorial Asylum at Warm
Springs contains forty patients quite as many
as can be provided for with the accommoda-
lions offered by the buildings now in use.
Considering that the population of the Terri
tory is increasing steadily and rapidly an
increase rather than a decrease in the num-
Der of the insane is to be looked for, and to
meet the demands likely to be made upon
them Drs. Mitchell and Mussigbrod, proprie-
tors of the Asylum, have decided upon en-
larging it by the erection of another building.
This building will be 25x52 feet, frame, with
brick veneering; and will be two stories high.
The site selected for it is the high ground
within the enclosure and about thirty yards
nearer the creek than the present asylum
building. 1t will be built expressly to ans
wer the requirements Of an insane asylum
and will be well supplied with everything
necessary for the safety and comfort of its
unfortunate inmates.

Is something over 22O0 feet, SO that a tunnel
driven into the liill from that side would
pass more than 1100 feet below the ore house
at the foot Of the hill at Trapper. The dis
lance from the bed of Cafion creek to a
point PRECAUTIONARY below the ore house is
a trifle over 1000 feet, or a little more than
three qarters of a mile, but inasnuch az she
lodes all dip towards Canon creek at an an
gle of about zoe with the perpendicular, the
ore bodies would probably be reached by a
tunnel of less than half the above mentioned
length. Assuming the pitch to be uniform,
its length can of course be calculated to the
fraction of an inch from measurements of
angles and distances made on the surface.
One of the sites surveyed by Mr.. Baker was
for a tunnel of this description; a tunnel to
start from the bed of Canon creek and tap the
Hecla Co.'s lodes at the lowest possible point.
The other is to start at a point further up
hill, about on a level with its base Oil the
Trapper creek side. Canon creek being SO
much lower than the head of Trapper has a
milder climate. Besides this Its banks are
heavily wooded there is plenty of water at
the mouth of the proposed tunnel, and the
surrounding neighborliood is at once more
sheltered from storms and less exposed TO the
danger of snow slides than is the opposite
side. Those advantages, supported by econ,
omical considerations from the much smaller
expense attending ore-working from tunnels
than by shafts, may cause work to be begun
Oh the lower tunnel at an early day.

A StilI.BOrn Ordinance.

las there a stove-pipe ordinance adopted
lutte? We have a vague, dream-like rec
Etion of such a measure, but why was it
Oh, we know. 1t was like some

hot particularly serviceable in practice.
en our worthy Council undertakes to pass
Fher ordinance it might be a good idea to
Ehase a little stifening for the backbone
hose whose duty it is to carry said ordi-
ZEE into effect. From our office door call
cen a half dozen stove-pipes set up in ut
contempt of the statute in such case made
provided.

school Furniture.

For the two primary rooms to be opened in
the upper story of the brick school house the
trustees are about to order from the East the
following bill Of classroom furniture:
60 double desks and seats.
teachers desks.
4 recitation seats.
2 programme clocks.
2 call bells.
Proposals offering to supply the furniture
were received from several manufacturing
houses but the trustees have not decided as
to which their order will be given. When
they come to a decision the order will be
sent by telegraph that the freight may be
shipped in time to get the benefit of the sum
mer rates which come to an end on the 3Oth
of September.

New City Ordinances.

At the meeting of the City Council on
Friday night ordinances Nos. 10, II and IL
were adopted. No. 10 provides for levying q
city license tax on all, or nearly all branches
of business conducted within the city limits.
No. II provides that hereafter no one shall
attempt to build or operate a planning mill
within the city limits on pain of a fine of
500 a day for every day airy such establish
ment may be conducted in defiance of this
ordinance. 1t also authorizes the City Mar
shall to reinove at the owners expense,t to some
point outside the city, the stock and machin-
cry Of any planning mill whose erection may
hereafter be undertaken within the city.
Those ordinances 60 into effect without fur
ther endorsement. Willy, nilly, we must
accept them as passed and govern ourselves
accordingly; but such is not the case with
ordinance No. IL. This provides for a
special tax TO be levied upon all property
within the city, the proceeds to be en-
ployed in constructing water clsterns as
a timely guarantee against the total
destruction of our town by fire. Since it
provides for a special tax, this ordinance must
be submitted to the people and accepted by
a two-thirds vote before it becomes a law. At
present we shall limit our advocacy of this
measure to the hope that the people Of Butte
may show by their votes that they are civil
lied beings, and as such that they are willing
to profit by the experience of other civilized
communities. Because a village Of Indian
lodges can dispense with a fire protective Or
ganization it seems to be thought by certain
of our enlightened citizens that Butte can do
as we'll, that We can go on indefinitely in OUR
present exposed condition, trusting TO luck
and to luck only. But this is a fatal mistake.
Butte has been twice warned. The planning
mill fire and the fire at Howe & Blake's car
penter shop, each occurred in an isolated
building. But, ,chat ,cOuld hare happened if
the fire in either instance had broken out ON
Main street where the accident of fire, taking
so many buildings together, is surely greater
than in the case of a carpenter shop standing
by itself? Those were the two warnings.
Let the people Of Butte beware lest the next
= visitation of fire leave them to bewail in tears
and ashes the folly of negiecting to provide
against a calamity sure to come. sooner or
later.

Election Of school Trustee.

Yesterday all election of a School Trus-
tee took place =; only that it didn't. The vot-
ing booth was opened promptly on time, the
School Trustees, plus the good-looking clerk
of the school Board, were on hand ready to
record countless thousands of votes, but the
votes were not forthcoming. After all the ell
oquenca expended by the MINER in trying to
urge our citizens to take All interest in the
election, Butte managed to poll exactly 80
votes, which were divided among the four
candidates as follows:
Henry McMurphy.
Simon Hauswirth. ...... .
Wm. Stanchfeld 4
Grand Total.
In consequence of the tie the election was
declared off, to borrow an expression from
next week. 1t now devolves upon the
County Superintendent, Mr.. G.. 4. Harden
brook, to award the fiercely contradiction
prize to some one whom he may deem worthy
the honor.

THE POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS VIRTUALLY
nROppED


A dispatch from Charleston, s. c., this morn
ing says: "At the opening OF the U. s. circuit
this yesterday morning, Judge Bond in
structed the jury charged with the trial of the
Barnwen county election conspiracy cases to
biiDg In verdict Of mot guilty On the ground
of a defect in the Information. : The
jury brought in verdict OF not guilty. Dis
trict Attorney Northrop then moved to continue
all the political cases until the next November
term OF the court. The cases were so con-
tfnued."
The cases which are thus postponed have at
tracte ed much attention and their institution was
to great extent the result Of political pres
sure. Their continuance until November next
amounts to practical abandonment. The de-
nOuement that was reached yesterday was,
what had gone to South Carolina from Wash
fngton. The Presidents method of dealing
with the south, which he inauguratod when he
first entered upon office, is further carried out
IN the disposition OF these cases. They were
the outcroppfngs Of prejudice and political ami
mostly. Their discOntinuance Is a rebuke
TO the revival OF SectOnalism which Is
attempted. The southern members of Con-
gless are perfectly sa' isfied with the turn
which affairs have taken, and In it re.
cogniZe the consistency OF the President. That
the good feeling Is not all On one side is EVIL
denced by the facts that the state judiciary OF
South Carolina yesterday released F. L. Car.
doZO, ex-treasurer OF the state, and that an
agreement has been had TO abandon the pOlit.
lcal prosecutions against republicans. AS both
the democratic charges against republicans and
undoubtedly born OF political prejudices, the
settlement reached yesterday is a very salts
factory ore to those who put peace and good
Will above partisan ends and desires.

The Electric Light.


The specification of EdiSons improvement In
electric lights, for which patent was granted
yesterday, is as follows" Electric lights have
been produced by coil or strip Of platina or
other metal that requires high tem-
perature to melt the electric current
rendering the same incandescent:, 10 all
melting and destroying the apparatus, and
breaking the continuity of the circuit. Ny im-
provenent Is made for regulating the elecrc
negh and preSeng
its temperature rising to the meltlnl
point, thus producing oTe reliable electrc
g passs an eaot
current through them. In my apparatus the
heat evolved or developed is made to re sula e
become too intense because the current is les
sened by the effect OF the heat when certain
temperatures are reached, thereby pre-
ventg injury to the thu SUBJ
times below the melting point of the
incandescent substance. Various devices for
carrying my improvement into practice may be
employ ed and have tested large number l,
however, have shown in the drawings my i'm
provement In convenient form, and contem-
plate obtaining separate patents hereafter for
state my present invention to relate broadly
to the combination. with an electric light pro-
duced by 1ncandescence, Of an automatic ther-
maj regulator for the electric current: The
111dlum, t1tan1um, or any other suitable con-
ductor having a high fusing point, and the
same Is used in the form OF wire or thin plate
or leaf. The expansion or contraction
or al suitable material under changes of
temperature forms a thermostat1c current
regulator that operates automatically to pre-
vent injury 10 the apparatus and to the body
may be surrounded by glass tube or any other
sultaDle dev1ce, such as two concentric glass
tubes with the intervening space filled with
alum water or other bad conductor of heat, the
object being to retain the heat of the incandes-
cent metal and prevent less by radiation
the loss by radiation. l am aware that the
electr1c current has been used to produce heat
and that such heat has been employed to vary
the relative position OF the light giving cleo
trodes and the length Of the Intervening arc
IN my Ight there Is no electric arc" The In
Ventlon claimed is, In combination with an elec-
trio light, having continuous incandescent
tor and a thermostatlcally operated s6unt.
In the thermal regulator Invention, also
granted yesterday, the object is to devise a
reliable and economical electric lamp to give
light by 1ncandescence due to the passage of
the electr1c current through conductors of cleo
tflcity SO that great number Of lamps may be
USED Id the electric circuit. The invention con-
sists SIS IN causing the heat generated by the in
csandeScent conductor to expand the air or fluid
In the containing chamber as its temperature
rises, the pressure thus created serv-
ing to move outwardly yielding
material such as a diaphragm which
In its turn serves to control the passage
OF the electric current through the incandes-
cent body by means OF contact points OF circuit

matically,
