Negro is shut out by social interdict as
irreversible as the laws of the Medes and
Persians. If the Negro is a man, let us
give him the chance of man, the powers
and privileges Of man. 1t is not neces-
sarv for us to give him our daughters in
marriage, although he has given great
many of his daughters to us. as all mulat-
tadom and quadroondom abundantly tes-
tify. 1t is not necessary for us to make an
ostentatious show of our conversion to
just and humane ideas in regard to him.
We should like to see the time when the
preacher to whom we have alluded would
feel at liberty to invite one of these orators
whom we have praised to occupy his pull
pit, and when such an orator would feel
at home there and seem at home there.
When this time arrives, in the coming of
the millennium, all other relations between
the two races may be safely left to adjust
themselves.

1t is the general impression that
the "unit rule" will be "busted' at
Chicago. 1t ought to be in so far as
it attempts to control the action of
the district delegates. 1t is legitimate
for state convention to instruct the
delegates at large and possibly re-
quire them to vote as a unit, but for
a state convention to attempt by a
bare majority to control the action of
district delegates is unrepublican and
should not be countenanced.

The Masquerade.

As stated in yesterdays MINER the fire
mems ball was a gigantic success, and the
balance in the treasury after paying all en-

deduction of $3.50 for expenses, 1888 remain
to be applied for the benefit Of our fire de-

The Judith Basin Mines.

A few DAYS since we received a note from a

to publish some facts relative to the judith

have failed to discover any person who has

on the subject to be obtained:

1t is no exaggeration to say that the Fire

social event of this or any other sea son, and
Will long be remembered IS one of the live
Hest and most enjoyable affairs ever occurring
IN the history of Butte society. AT an early
hour the maskers began to assemble, and
when The music began the hafl was crowded
with "a gay and happy throng. General hilar-

laughed, danced and cut up in happy
unison. The grand march was the
GROWING event of the season. Headed by
Judge Loeber, with imposing and martial
front, the incongruous Lhrong marched around
the hail, with solemn tread, like well-drilled
soldiers. 1t was, indeed, a miscellaneous
aggregation and the grotesque and ~fanciful

merous spectators, At twelve o'clock the
dancers unmasked and every lady in

as much of a success financially as socially.

Probable Mining Sale,

1t is reported that an important mining sale
willsoonb be consummated in Glendale between
a gentleman resident in this city and a French
company. The particulars of the negotiation
are not yet ready for publication, so we with
hold names for the present. Two experts are
expected to arrive inGlendale on Tuesday who
will examine the property in question on be-
half OF the French capitalists who, if the
report be favorable will in all likelihood pur-
chase the property of the Butte party, who
now has control of it by bond for a period
of six months The consideration asked is
said to be S350,00O. The mine is reported to
be a very promising one.

THE MINES.
Progress Of Development ia The Alice 10.
nanZ.
Reports from the Gasnon. Burnett and
Others.
The Alice.

Developments on the above named prop
elty are encouraging and satisfactory. On the
second and third levels the company is pros
pecting by drifts and cross-cuts with excellent
results. Square timhers are being put in and
ore is being extracted across the full width Of
the vein which is not less than thirty feet
wide. On the fourth an fifth levels the ore
body is improving in extent and richness, and
the water has ceased to occasion any trouble.
The work of active development is therefore
continuous. At present about fifty tons of ore
is being holsted daily, twenty tons being sent
to the mill for reduction and the remainder
dumped as second class ore. The ore at
present being worked mills eighty dollars,
from which it appears that the daily bullion
output is about 81, 600. Work on
The Magma Charta
Has been resumed, a contract having been let
to complete the unnel to a distance of 1900
feet, the full length of the claim. The tunnel
is now being run IN on the side of the ledge
and at the rate at which it Is now being
pushed it will not be long before
the entire length of the claim will
be made available for working purposes. 1t
is the intention of Superintendent DAILY when
the contract is finished, to run a series OF
crosscuts to the vein when a vast amount of
ore will be extracted and placed Oh the dump
to await the completion OF the new Alice
mill.
The burnett
Messrs. Clark l. Rainsferd, the lesses of
the above named property, have every reason
to feel gratitied at the results OF
recent developments. From the bottom
of the new shaft, which is eighty feet
west from the point where the tunnel
and first level unite, a lew level has been
started in an eastward direction and has al
ready penetrated the vein to a distance of
thirty-fve feet within the past two weeks.
The ground being soft, no blasting is neces-
sary it being all easy matter for the miners to
make from three to five feet Roadway each day.
The ore vein on this level is six feet wide, but
is not remarkably rich, as the level verges onto
the water line. This fact is easily accounted
for, however, by the theory advanced by Pro-
fessor Clayton, whu claims that certain forms

of the precious metal leaclsed through the ore
found near the water mark and have been re-
deposited at greater depth. As the lessees of
the Burnett are u%nprepared just now to put
in the machinery necessary for development
below water level, they have determined to
stope, as plenty of good ore can be extracted
between the first and second levels a short
distance above where the latter is now being
run. The present daily output is about
twelve tons, which is worked at the Centen-
NAL mill. The Burnett is an immense mine,
and a few dollars increase in the assay value
of the ore per ton would render it one of the
most profitable properties of the camp.
GagnOn.
Operations OF the Gagnon continue about
as usual. 1t is calculated thai about next
Tuesday the main shaft will have attained a
depth of 225 feet, or Is feet below the tlird
level. From this point a crosscut will be run
to the vein and a level started which will
prove that the value Of the Gagnon, like that
of other great properties Of the camp, in
creases as depth is attained. Owing to the
fact that the lives of the men working in the
bottom of the shaft are endangered by the
hosting of ore, the working force of the
mine has been temporarily reduced. But
four men in one part of the mine
have been employed IN extracting ore, and
the result of their labors has averaged one
hundred tons per week. As soon as the new
level is started, and hosting from the upper
levels can be resumed, a large force of men
will be employed, and ore will be extracted
to suit the pleasure of the superintendent
The machinery is running smoothly.
Work on the Czaroma has been temporarily
suspended, awaiting the arrival of a No. 10
Knowles pump, which will soon be started in
operation, when the work of development
will be resumed with renewed vigor.
