SUNDAY READING

Without a friend, what were humanity?
live in a city.-Colton.
There is a faith that saves, but there is no
dogma that saves.-Verney.
There is nothing evil but what is within
us; the rest is either natural or accidental
Sir Philip Sidney.
The law can never make a man honest.
1t can only make it very uncomfortable when
he's dishonest.
Seek not proud riches, but such as thou
mayest get justly, use soberly, distribute
cheertully, and leave STANDARDIZATION.
Every flower, even the ~fairest, has its
shadow beneath it as it Swings in the sun
light.
o, thou whose days are yet all spring,
Faith blighted once, is past retrieving
Experience is a dumb, dead thing;
The vlctory's in believing.
The end of satire is the amendment of vice
by corruption and he who writes honestly
is no more an offender than the physician to
The patient when he prescribes harsh
remedies.
To do an evil action is base to do a good
one without incurrlng danger is common
enough but it is the part of a good man to
do great and noble deeds, though he risks
everything.
To spend too much time in studies is sloth;
to use them too much for ornament is affecta,
ton to make judgment wholly by their
rules is the humor of a scholar. They per-
feet nature, and are perfected by experience.
Bacon.
A cheerful temper, Joined with innocence,
will make beauty attractive, knowledge de-
lightful, and wit good natured. 1t will
tighten sickness, poverty, and atliction, con-
vert ignorance into an aniable simplicity, and
render deformity itself agreeable.-Adison.
The doubts of God's..goodness whence are
they? Rarely from the weary AND over-bur-
burdened, from those broken in the practi-
cal service of grief and toll but from theo-
retic students at ease in their closets of medf-
tatlon, treated themselves most gently by that
legislation of the universe which they criti-
else with a melancholy so!profouud.--Martin-
eau.

The drifts from the north and south cross
cuts Of the Magma Charta are being driven
ahead on a fine body of ore, and the product
is being shipped to the new Alice mill for re-
duction. The present output is about eight
tons per day.
From the bottom of the main shaft of the
Bell, a drift has been started east to tap the
remarkably rich shoot of ore recently opened
up in the 6O-foot level. Connection between
the lower west drift and the middle shaft has
not yet been effected.
Excellent progress is being made on the
Moulton shaft and the erection of the hosting
works has begun.
The Anselmo is producing daily about ten
tons Of high grade ore which is being shipped
to the Colorado smelter.
The new shaft on the Stevens is dowr
nearly to the water level on a fine vein of or,
and drifts east and west will be started in
few days.
The Colusa is producing about 80 tons o
copper ore per day, much of which is con
sidered rich enough for shipment east. TIL
balance is sent over the tramway to the smel
ter for concentration.
Everything is working smoothly at til
Alice and the old mill is making a run 0
some excellent ore. We are not advised
to the length of the 100 foot cross-cut, thong
the ledge has not yet been tapped.

M AND VICINITY.
What the Mills and Mines Of that Vicinity are Doing

Editor Butte MINEh:
In a mining district it is astonishing when
two or three good mines are struck now val
liable the ground in the vicinity becomes.
There is scarcely a foot of ground on the
side or level plain within several
miles north, west and east of Belmont
but what is claimed, the owners hoping that
on the strength of the mines now being work
ed their claims will become valuable.
The Belmont mine, 1 am told, locks better
to-day than al any time in its history, and
the 3O-stamp mill is kept in continual opera
ton.
The city of Belmont has improved quite
noticeably during the past summer, and, al
though the majority of the houses have been
built near the Drum Lummond mill, a quar-
ter Of a mile below the town, vet this place
boasts of a large, new frame hotel, several
residences and the inevitable saloons. While
visiting this place I took occasion to pay the
Chester mine a short visit. The Gloster is
owned by the Boston and Montana Gold
Mining Company, who purchased the proper
ty the past summer. L. r. METRE, of Helena,
is the agent and general superintendent, and
Mr.. Alex. Swan is tie resident superintend-
emf. The vein is developed by two shafts,
one so the other 10 feet in depth. A cross
cut tunnel $50 feet in length cuts the vein at
a depth Of 80 feet. In these openings the
vein shows pay ore from seven to eleven
feet wide. A 10-stamp mill is kept running
steadily near the mouth of the tunnel. VIM.
Negus has the contract to build a road from
the mine to the site of the new 4O~stamp mill
which is to be erected next summer The
ore from the mine to the new mill will be
transported on a wire tramway.
Several Belmont miners, the past summer
struck a gold and silver lead near the head o.
Poor Man gulch, which they have bonded te
Frank Taylor and o. J. Salisbury for $50,
900. l have been informed by disinterestet
parties that the mine shows up immense OF
the surface, and that should the ore body
only hold out for 25 feet in depth the min'
: will be worth much more than the bondin!
price. Several other parties have mines il
the vicinity Of the one mentioned, and all ar
SAID to be very promising. No doubt whel
The snow disappears in the spring a stamped
to this neighborhood will be the result.

A CLOSE CALL.
A Man Saves his Life By CravlinglUndsr A Bed,

A lively fracas occurred on Friday at
Silver Star between a man named Frank
Rodgers, we'll known in Butte, and a team
ster whose name could not be ascertained.
1t appears that the two men were engaged in
playing poker when a hot dispute arose about
the deal. Rodgers pulled a six shooter and
holding it up against the body of the freight
latter, though not apparently alarmed, re-
quested Rodgers not to shoot him down like a
dog, when he was told to go and heel himself
and to " come back a shootin." The team
ster left the house and Rodgers retained his
scat ready for war. In a few moments Rodg-
es happened to glance towards the door
which was partly open, and was consider
ably alarmed to see a doubled barrelled
shotgun pointed at him, the teamster behind
it with fire in his eye. Rodgers made a
jump for the back door leading into a bed
room and was closely followed by his enraged
foe. The room being somewhat dark and
the bed not having been made up, the team
ster mistook the clothes, which were lying il
a heap, for Rodgers at whose supposed body
he blazed away with both barrels. The
room was at once filed with smoke and feath'
ers and after the excitement had in a meas
ure subsidized, some men entered the apart
ment intending to bring out all that wa'
mortal of the victim, They were consider
ably surprised, however, to see Rodger
emerge from beneath the bed alive and I'm
harmed. 1t appears that he had wisely con
Guided to take refuge under, instead of Of
top of the bed and to his foresight in tn
matter he owes the preservation of his life.
The above are the particulars of the cas-
as nearly as can be ascertained; whether the
are absolutely correct we are not advised.

HELENA, Dec. 10.
A report from Jefferson City says that a
young man named Gus. Everhart, who was
one of the passengers from Helena, sat down
on the steps in front of Whetstone's saloon,
and taking a penknife from his pocket drove
it into his neck the entire length Of the blade,
first on one side and then the other. The at
tempt to destroy himself was fortunately OBJ
served and the knife taken from him. He
was a former employe of Ghas. Lehman, in
Helena. No cause assigned.
LATER-He died this morning at the house
of Mrs. Nick Kessler, on Ten Mile creek.

MEMPHIS, TENN.s March IL, 1871.
Our local money market is quiet and
easy, prime mercantile paper being in
request at the current rate of 8 per
cent, and outside rates ranging from
6 to 10 per cent. Indications point to
a plentiful supply of money through
out the south and west. until late in
the summer, while in the east the
financial position isapparently growing
more stringent. Late advices from
London also foreshadow an advance in
discount rates, owing to the financial
reins drawing tighter in that market.
Exchange rates were altered to-day
by a general agreement among bank
ers. Eastern cotton bills are now
taken at &c discount when no grace is
carried, and 3c discount with it. New
Orleans bills are ic discount buying,
and selling at par. Checks on the
east are now sold at &c premium.
Quotations at New Orleans for
American trade dollars are 94995c.
Five francs SOC; Mexican dollars $50,
and silver 49, per ounce. In New
