'GIic Rock Island.

merely to its favorable situation. an impor-

serves to be ranked we'll up among the treas
urc-producing lodcs of Butte. Thus far the
claim has been pro>pcctrd by two Shafts 100
feet apart and each 50 feet deep, and by
two levels connecting those shafts. one
at il depth of 60 feet the other so feet from
the surface. or at the bottom of the shafts.
Tbs lower. ol SO-foot level, is also extended 10
feet west OF the western shaft. The ore taken
from those shafts and levels. worked ut the
Silver Bow mill. made its owners IA return of
Sl.5SO.2G over and above the expense of mill
ing. At this figure the min" paid handsomely
for working. although in shaft sinking or in
running tunnels the ore was taken out at
Il much greater expense than will attend the
operation of stopping from the Slopes now open.
The Rock Island is owned by j. NJ. Steward
and Ed. Hickey. and is worked under lease by
Pat Flynn and Dave NJ. Evans. who employ
or ten men in working it. Its first class
ore. by mill process. yielded 10 ounces silver
and $50 in gold to the ton.

the whole winter to track II rabbit. Late in

disappeared in April. We have very pleas

The Driver.

very hiydcsi testimonials from his former

had frequently been entrusted with large
sums OF money, which he always delivered
safely to the cOnsiglees. bat suddenly, for
some unexplained reason, he fell from grace.
and sacrificed his good character all for a
miserable three hundred dollars. On lsis
last trip to Butte he was entrusted with this
amount by Mr.. Lhas. Wunderlich. of Divide,
with directions to deposit it in IL banking
house in this town. Upon arriving here h"
told Mr.. Lee Mantle that he hal gotten INTO
trouble that would compel him t." leave. He
explained this difficulty as being III SOME way
connected with Il horse which he had bnlglt
not knowing it was Il governments llol,r and
had subsequently sold upon detecting t;u'

was his explanation. but in bidding Mr..
Mantle good-hy he cried bitterly. his con-
science being in plain revolt against the 'l'ett
he had resolved upon committing.

The Sidewalk Question.

Mr>>ls. L. l.. Bonner Il Co.. are laying down
a tWo-incl-plank sidewalk. fourteen feet wide.
and on street grade. in front of their new
building on Upper Main street. We UNDER
stand That objection has been made TO this inn
%lnorenent On the ground that the width men,
toned is excessive; but the width of the
sidewalk should he prol"rtioratc to that of
the street. and since Main street is 81 feet
wide. space can surely ic spared for Il good
broad sidewalk o., either side. Whether this
particular width of fourteen feet is excessive
or tn" reverse, there is irot the slightest doubt
that the sidewalks almost everywhere else in
town are too narrow. The City Council has
not established ii standard width for our side
walks. When they do establish Il standard
we hope il will be- of liberal dimensions.
