NO MONOPOLY.

The discontinuance of Col. Blacks stage
line and the consequent increase in rates for
freight and passenger travel has created much
discomfort in our neighboring city of Helena
which vents itself in an editorial in the hide
pendent and a short article in the Herald.
While the MINER has ever been in favor
of increased facilities of transportation as a
means for assisting the general prosperity of
our Territory it has not been in favor of a
monopoly in railroads, steamers, or stage
coaches. While it has often admired the en-
terprise of Messrs. Gilmer & Salisbury, yet it
sees no reason why they should have the
exclusive control of stage lines in this or any
other Territory. The truth is, we need not
only two we'll equipped stage lines between
Helena and Butte but also between Butte and
the terminus, and we are in hopes another
season will see such a state of affairs. The
old method of packing in passengers like sheep
and cattle and ~trundling them over the rough
roads at exorbitant prices did very well for
early days, but has been long enough sub
mitted to, and the times demand better ac-
commodations, more rapid transportation and
lower prices.
We think the proposed plan Of the Helena
merchants a wise one. Let an agreement bf
signed on one side to carry passengers at S:
one way, if you please, and freight at q cts
per pound, and on the other side to p~atroniz'
exclusively that line and the battle is fought
For when a stage line finds it has the capita
! represented by the merchants of either Hell

WHIST.

Tho game of whist being very
popular IN this county, the following
exsact from a. recent magazine arti-
Gle on "Carda and Card-play ing"
will be of interest:
Whist, or whisk, as It was formerly
called. and which stands pre-emincnt,
is Of oaparatively RECEIPT origin, at
least ic our form Of play. It is
thought to have been derived from
the old game Of trump but the rules
under which il was framed
differed very materially from the
modern. Mention is FIRST made of
whist in the sABeau's Stratagem,' a
play of Farquhar's, written in 17O7,
but we are informed that it was not
earlier than 100 years ago that the
game began to he studied according
TO improved lights, by a party OF
PLAYERS assembled at the Crown Coffee
House, Bunhill Row, London.

EDITOR SENTINEL: "Misfortunes never

aptly illustrated in Silver Reef the past
week or two. The destruction Of 200 cords

as that which Eureka underwent. At
about half past Q O'Clock this morning .
fire broke out on a plank sidewalk, in front
Of a u on the west side of Main
s:s eel. X would naturally De supposed
that q fire originating in such q place and
at such an honr could easily nave been ex-
tinguished. The wind, however. was blow
ing a perfect gale, and in q few minutes
almost the entire block in which the Harri-
son House was located was in flames. The
fire spread south and west with fearful
rapldity, and ook in its course the Harri-
son House, the Pioneer restaurant, the
stores Of Heintzelman & Ponjade, Jacobs
Il Sultan. Siegel g. Marks, l. Shwartz. John
H. Cassidy's saloon and the new postoffice.
With the exception Of the stores of Liddle
Bros. d Co. and McManus & Read, all the
business houses on the west side of Main
street are gone. About twenty Of the finest
residences in town are also destroyed.
The fire was checked on the south by
Rice's fre-proof building, in which the
Leeds Banking Company are located. 1t
did not stop on the north until it reached
a cross street between Jacobs & Sultan's
store and the Barnnm restaurant. The
East side Of main street is badly blistered.
but remains intact. 1t Is thought the loss
will foot up half a million. but . small
proportion of which is covered by in

Under AlvIseul en- {,

The trial of the Chinaman recently ar
rested for smoking opium, was held before
Judge Cromer yesterday. The testimony
was to the effect that the accused party was
the lessee of the premises, and Mr.. Beatty.
his attorney. claimed that the law passed
by the last Legislature was not intended to
prevent any one from smoking or using
opium upon their premises. Two other
men were found smoking in an adjoining
room at the time of his arrest, and the Dis
trict Attorney made the point that this
rendered him liable to the penalties i'm
posed for keeping a house to which smokers
r,sorted. The defendant eutered the plea
that he was not aware OF what the NV"
Others were doing, and therefore not re-
sponsiblc. Judge Cromer took the case
under advisement until after the meeting
OF the Grand Jury, which will be some
time during the present week.
