Yesterday Mr.. Beard, of the Butte and
Glendale express, had such a large order to
fill for the latter named place that he brought
over an extra two-horse team. This speaks
well for Butte's trade with the great mining
camp of South-W Western Montana.
Mr.. Oscar Smith, who some time ago pur-
chased briggs ~arastra, at Charcoal gulch, neal
Divide, brought in 553 or. of silver yesterday.

The Administrators sale of the quartz mill
at Rocker and other property belonging to
the Wolverton estate, was announced for yes
terday, but did not take place because a suf-
6cient number of bidders failed tt put in an

against Beecher g. Co., owners of the
diseased sheep, was compromised by Mr..
Beecher paying the cots and a portion of tie
expense which Mr.. Miles must incur in keep
ing his flocks remote from the pasture ground
upon which the diseased sheep were allowed
to remain for some days.
The Cinnamon of Butte have learned to
take a hint. Day before Yesterday certain of
the Celestials were notified by the City Mar
shall of the existence ofa nuisance about their
premises and ordered to abate the same. Yes
terday they we're busily at work, following
the Marshal's suggestion. Hereafter with our

Visitors to Helena during the Fair, or in
fact at any time, should not fail to drop in al
Trains gallery and view the many beautiful
objects of art on exhibition there. The pro.
prietor takes pleasure in exhibiting his arr
treasures whether his visitors have any pat
ronage to bestOw or not. If they have Mr.
0. c. Bundy is on hand to take their picture
in any style of the art. Mr.. BIS pictures ell
larged from the photographs are equal t.
those recently shown here as samples o
the best San Francisco work.
Mr.. Vim. McKeown, of Cold Springs, JET
terson county, has enriched the MINER cabi
net with several beautiful specimens of tn
petrifications we recently described. One pre-
sents a mass of bullrushes lying " criss-cross
as they happened to fall into the moderl
Lethe by whose touch they were made to for
get their perishability. Another offers a buncl
of wire grass, the minutest hollow in even tn
smallest tendril being distinctly visible. Al
interesting curiosity mentioned by Mr.. Nc
Kcown, is an old buffalo skull found half sub
merged in the water flowing from the warn
spring possessing this petrifying quality. TIL
portion of the skull covered by water wa
converted into solid stone, while the othel
half was thoroughly decayed bone, ready
to crumble at the slightest touch.
