The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-06-22

The lower story OF the old "Hotel de Min
eral,' provided with a glass front, enlarged,
and elegantly fitted up, has been opened as q
saloon by Messrs. Gwfnn & DAILY.
Not a single drunk and disorderly, not q
fight, lot an arrest in or about town on Mon
day during the celebration of the b. w. IT.
anniversary. What a moral town Butte
would be to be sure, if the union boys had a
celebration every day. But that perfection
of behavior is rather binding on the local,
having a tendency to make items disastrously
scarce.
Mr.. w. w. Mccall has put on a semi
weekly express to carry passengers and the u.
s. mail bet~een Butte and Fish Greek. The
express will leave Butte at 10 a. IN. on Tues
day and Friday of each week, and proceed by
way of the Pipestone hot springs to Fish
Creek. Returning it will leave the latter
place on Mondays and Thursdays. The want
Of passenger transportation over this route
has long been felt.
We are pleased to learn that our ci-deraet
townsman, Mr.. d. M. Evans, has struck it
rich at Cataract. Last Friday Mr.. E.. was SO #
fortunate as to discover a silver bearing lode,
since named the Red Rock, ranging away up
in the hundreds per ton in silver, besides q
fair gold assay. The Red Rock, where struck,
is five feet in. width. A handsome specimen
taken from the prospect shaft can be seen in
this city at the store of Messrs. Caplice q
Co.
Yesterday must have been a kin of field
day for freight trains, a day of mastering at
the Butte headquarters. Before ten o'clock
In the morning, the OK or mule trains of B..
F. White, Dancerault, Bennett, Cornell and
Peter were crowding main street, each trying
TO get the inside track of the rest, in pulling.
up in front of the various stores. Bennet
had 10000 lbs. of groceries for Marchessau
& Walton and 10000 lbs. of hardware for
Kinna & Jack. The others were all partly
loaded for l.. w. Foster s. Co., and D. n.
Dellinger, with small lots for various others.
Mr.. T. T. Baker, deputy mineral land sur
veyor, leaves this morning for Glendale to
complete the work of establishing the gradi-
lent for the tramway which is to furnish
transportation from the Hecla Co.'s mines at
Lion hill to the SIN Ell at Glendale. A
strong working force W. be employed in the
tramway next week and the work driven en-
ergetically ahead until completed. Besides
the gradient to be established, Mr.. Baker has

locations to complete. During his absence

office will be attended to by Mr.. j. H. Harper.
