A Rainy Day Item.

A set of S-ton hay scales, the best Of their
kind were put in place yesterday ready for
use, in front of the Farmers Corral, lower
Mail4 street. They rest on a broad founda-
ton of stone, and are in every way accurate
and reliable. When put in readiness for
service yesterday the gentlemen standing by
were requested to step OH the platform, one
at a time and be weighed, by way Of testing
the new scales. Among tee first Of to avail
themselves of this request was agentleman to
whom the beam made its bow only when 1854
pounds was recorded.

%bystanders who doubted the accuracy of the
report.

heaving a deep sigh and placing his hand on
his heart, eyes, soInethingimust be wrong. I've
lost thirteen pounds in less than TWO weeks
Subsequent trials proved that the scales
weighed to within half a pound of a mans
weight as recorded by Fairbanks Premium
The complaint of the gentleman who hat
dwindled way until he weighed only 20
pounds is something like the self conissera
ton of a lately convalescent invalid, wilt
gives an idea of the sufferings he. passed
through by saying that he has "fallen away

No more clean shirts. Hereafter we of
Butte are to be numbered among the great
unwashed. China John has got on his dig
and on his ear at the same time and shuts
up shop as a protest against the oppression of
his white brother. Seriously, there are two
sides to a story and perhaps it may be as we'll
to listen to that of the defendants. Justice
is Justice no matter what be the color or ma
tivity of the litigant. The Cinnamon say
they were lined for allowing the Stops to run
from their wash house in a name authorized
by Marshal Beck. If this is true, il the OBJ
iectionable slops were escaping by a channel
where officer Beck thought they would be Of
fensive to no one, it might be we'll to enquire
into the expediency of Furnishing them when
they thought they were complying with the
law. But right or wrong, every Chinese
washman in town is Oh a strike. Not a moth
er's son of them will so much as look at
soap-suds, until they are furnished with a
drain by which they Can allow their Stops to
depart in peace. "Oh, for a nice glossy billed
shirt" will be the exclamation of the Butteite
about a week hence.

Locating Tunnel sites.

7. T. Baker lately located for the Hecla
company the sites OF two tunnels which, if
opened, may be the cause of important
changes in the working of the company's
mines. For the thorough understanding OF
the advantages offered by the tunnels a brief
typographical description of the district is
necessary. Trapper creek and Canon creek
head quite close together in the same range
of mountains, and empty into the same
stream, the Big Hole river. Canon creek
being the longer of the two doubles around
the read of Trapper, where the two creeks
are only separated by IA narrow divide. This
divide Is Lion Hill. on which are located
most of the mines Of the Hecla company.
All the lodes crop ont on the Trapper creek
side of the divide and it Is on that side that
the mines have been opened by inclined
| shafts following the lodes from the groupings,
or by tunnels. But recently attention has
been directed 90 the opposite side of the hill,
to the advantage TO he secured by opening the
mines by tunnel from the bed Of Canon
creek. This creek is much deeper than Trap

Breaking o Horse.Breaiker.

Yesterday MIR. d. s. Wagstaff while ei-
gagged in breaking one of j. w. Chapman's
horses..to drive single met with an accident in
which only his great activity saved him from
perhaps fatal injuries. The horse, drawing
an old-fashioned cart, was jogging along as
quietly as if his whole existence had been
passed between the shafts, when suddenly the
harness gave way allowing one shaft to drop
agasnst the fiery courser's fore legs. This
was something not to be submitted to by any
well bred cayusc, and so away he went at full
speed down Montana street until the Montana
hotel was reached where he managed to
dump his driver on a pile of quartz. Mr..
Wagstaff landed with the agility of a cat,
right side up, but the footing was too inse-
cure Tor him to regain his hold. After strik-
ing on his feet he fell forward and rolled
over, receiving two very severe scalp wounds
across the top of the head, be sides painful
bruises on the shoulder, hip and breast. He
was at once conveyed to his home, where DR..
Mussigbrod was summoned to attend him as
soon as the extent of his injuries was ascer-
tanned.

The Forest Fire.

-
We were not exactly correct in stating as
did yesterday that the members of the Walk
erville relief party had all returned home as
as the magnitude of the fire was ascer-
aimed. A few, discouraged by what they con-
sidered the utter hopelessness of the task,
returned as stated ; but a much larger num-
Der remained OH the ground and bravely
fought the fire all night long. Thanks to thei'
strenuous and d!sinterested efforts fully three
thousand cords of wood was saved from a
destruction all too certain if brave and stub
born battle had not been waged against the
invading foe. From the most reliable reports
it appears now that only about three thousand
cords were consumed, about half the wood
lying on the ground over which the fire was
liable to sweep. Yesterday morning every
available team was set to work removing be-
You'd danger the wood yet unreached. But
at noon the furious blasts of the morning
were followed by the kindly rain whose COM
ing was greeted as the coming of an angel of
mercy by the anxious workers whose saliva
ton it proved to be. At present no appre
hension of further disaster is entertained
Neither Lavell's nor Catching's mill was
destroyed.

and eleven received their first communion.
In the afternoon another sermon was deliv-

Bishop keener Expected.

Bishop Keener of the Methodist Church
South, is expected to arrive at Butte towards
the end of this week. The Bishop, whose
home is in the State of Louisiana, is IN his
annual tour, and visits Montana to attend the
Conference at Willow Creek. Next Sunday,
September 7th, he is announced to conduct
morning and evening religious services in the
new Methodist church, Butte. Besides the
members of his flock, great numbers belong
ing to other denominations will avail them
selves of the opportunity to listen to one OF
the most celebrated pulpit orators of the day.
The church is quite a spacious edifice, but it
will likely be found unequal to the demands
made upon it next Sunday. The arrival OF
the Reverend Bishop will be duly chronicled
in the Daily MINER.

temporary organization with a charter MEM

j. F. Forbis, Alex. Johnston, j. A.. Meyer

draft a code of bylaws and report on the
evening of September 18th, when the perma-
nent organization will be effected. The name
adopted is the "Butte Social Dancing Club"
with membership strictly limited to fifty.
Members admitted by ballot only. Now that

fitting that some provision be made for pleas

Our New City Marshal.

For some time past Mr.. j. F. Beck's inten-
ton to resign the office of City Marshal at an
early date has been generally known. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Beck's resignation would
nave been handed in at the last meeting OF
the council, last Friday night, if he had been
at home; but a sudden call having been made
for his services as Deputy Sheriff he was alb
sent in hat capacity at Deer Lodge. During
his absence the Board of Aldermen met, and
as there was not to be another meeting for
some time to come, it was deemed expedient
to consider Mr.. BIS resignation as already
submitted, and to proceed to act upon it.
The council well understood that the nature
of Mr.. BIS duties as Deputy Sheriff were such
as to conflict with the proper discharge of the
functions of the City Marshal's office, by rem
dering it necessary for him to be frequently
absent as Sheriff, whereas as Marshal he
should always be OH hand when wanted at
Butte. In addition the demands made up
ON his attention by the management of The
large property left in his charge by Mr.. A. W.
Barnard demands that he can neglect only
to the detriment of his principal interests
lett but little time to be devoted to business
connected with the City Marshal's Office. The
members of the council understood all this,
and since it is desired to bring about imme'
diately an enforcement of certain city ordin'
ances as yet permitted to lie dormant, it was
thought advisable to appoint another incum
bent to the office from which it was Mr.. b.
intention to withdraw. Accordingly by thu
nomination Of the Mayor, supported, We be
lieve, by the unanimous vote of the council
Mr.. William Warfield was made City Mar
shall of Butte. Mr.. w., who is we'll know

similar position in Helena for a period o
three years. If the duties of his Office are at
tended to in a manner at all fulfilling the eX
pectations INDUCED in by those best acquaint

The Rain.

Rain, the long needed, blessed rain came
copiously yesterday afternoon, just when its
coming was most needed. For the past few
days fires have been raging in the forest
north, south and east of town, while far to
the west, well up on the Big Hole, great col
umns of smoke located another destructive
conaagration. May the wet weather continue
