The Utah q Northern is building . large
bridge over Beaver river, aud the new town
(Dilloa, will be reached in four or five days.
Business at the terminus Cred Rocky is not
very brisk, owing to the move. The pay car
has just come and the boys are making things
a little more lively. Some of the buildings
are being pulled down already for the move
to the new town of Dillon, As miles from
Red Rock.-C0r. Salt Lake Tribune 26ta.
Owsley & Curtis brick yard, directly south
Of town, is a scene of busy activity from
morning till night during the six working
days of the week. Sixteen men and two.
horses are employed, and with thisf force 15.
600 standard brick per day are manufac-
tured. A large kiln now burning will soon,
make a very material addition to the stock of
100000 already on hand. Other yards in.
this vicinity are equally busy, and yet it is.
safe to predict that brick will be scarce when.
the building season opens next spring.

The Bible Society.

A most interesting meeting, held in the in
terests of tins society, was largely attended
last evening at the Presbyterian church. Ad-
dresses were made by Rev. DR.. Fisher, and
Revs. Gilbert, Longstreet and Smith, who
urged upon their hearers the importance on
the study and the necessity of a wide difiu-
sion of the Holy Scriptures. The speakers
were earnest and eloquent, and We think the
inspiration of that meeting will do much to-
ward the establishment Of this society upon a
basis of efficient and permanent work in the
territory. The meeting was adjourned to
this evening at the same time and place, when
an election of officers will be held and such
other business done as will tend to promote
the good work, and we trust the people gen.
erally will attend. The same speakers will
be present, and it is expected that others Will

Don's want Chinese Neighbors.

ome days ago a party of Cinnamon pur-
sed a lot OH East Park street, out near
ID Scheuer's store, intending to erect a
kh.house thereon. The Caucasian owners
beighboriag lots were not at all backward
giving the M~ongolians to understand that
h establishment at that point was unde-
ID but undeterred by this cold welcome,
Cinnamon went on with the work of pre-
ing their lot for occupancy. Their first
was to sink a well, IN undertaking with
ieh they were pretty we'll advanced, when
ther progress was arrested by the occur
ICES we are about to describe. On Satur-
] evening the we'll had reached a depth of
but 20 feet, as w are informed, the earth
ldlassed from it lying close by. On Sum-
m ,rning it was found that all this earth
been shoveled back again by parties UNI
bwn, and the we'll completely filled up. A
&c of board projecting from the ground
ere the we'll had formerly been, gave no.
j that any improvements made by China
n OIL that street would be destroyed. This
" strike some of our readers as rather a
ID handed proceeding; but our white fell
citizens are scarcely to be blamed for forci-
protesting against the location in the neigh
Fhood of their homes of a Chinese laundry
h its unsavory smells and heather sur
kndings. The Cinnamon should all be
pfnec within the Chinese quarter. If we
unprovided with means of combining them
hin those limits the legislature might fur
b such means in the form of an optional
to be levied upon laundries and other in
Itries usually prosecuted by Cinnamon.
EN- if the latter were given to understand
i the extra tax would not be imposed pro-
led they were to carry Oil business within
hlities prescribed by the authorities, but
lerwise it would, there would be no diff
ky In getting rid of them.

Messrs. Frank McElroy, Earnest Lang anc
Robert Yeldell arrived yesterday from an ex
tended visit to the National Park, the two
former gentlemen having also visited Tho
Wood river mines, Idaho, since their depart
ure, several months ago. In their opinion
the new Eldorado is q fraud, or at least hai
never been demonstrated to be anything else
The ores are principally galena, the ASA:
value of which is not sufficient to warranI
its being shipped, and the amount of which
so far discovered is not large enough to jus
tify the erection of smelling works. Th.
deepest shaft in the camp is not dow NOR
than thirty feet. 1t is sunk on a ledge owneI
by a Salt Lake company. and already give
signs of petering, though the owners are cor
fident that it will widen with the attainmer
Of greater depth. The other locations Of tn
camp are mere prospects; to call them mine
is to do violence to the term. Very few me
are working for wages, provisions are higi
and prospectors are folding their tents pr
paratory to a hasty departure on the first az
proach of winter.
With the expenditure of considerabl
money in opening up the mines, and Il
erection of smelling works, it is possibl
that the Wood river country may yet enjoy
permanent boom, but until capital can be ii
duced to undertake the work of development
the man who visits the new district takes b
chances of having to walk home. Such
least is the opinion OF Messrs. McElroy ar
Lang, who have returned to their first Low
the silver city, and propose hereafter to r
main here.

sale of n Coal Mine.

Barton Il Hobart, owners of the coal mine
located at the head of Dog creek, in this
county, have sold a three-fourths interest in
the PROPERTY to Hotter Bros. and Thomas
Power, of Helena, for $2,7OO, and the new
owners of the property announce their inten-
ton of expanding a considerable amount of
money in its development. 1t is believed
that hereafter coal will not be an unpurchas-
able commodity in Butte, though whether it
can be prodeced at a cost sufficiently low to
warrant its use for domestic purposes is yet to
be ascertained.

a CHANCE SHOT IN THE DARx.
A Prospecsor Kills His p.r,n..

Lawrence Lorraine and Andrew Naplc. of
the northern portion of Deer Lodco co,,n.,
went out prospecting some time ago. condnct,
ing their explorations not far from veste,-
burg, In the main range Of the Rockies. T.,
that nelghborhood large game abounds. spch
wild animals as bear, lynx, wolverines. etc
being quite numerous; and one night To-
raine was aroused by the barking of his dog
and a sound OF cracking, a. If some large ami.
NAL were making his way through the brush
WOOD outside. Siezing his rifle and address,
ing a word or two to Maggie, whom he be-
iieved to be still in bed, he stepped from the
tent, when he saw what he believed to be a
bear, only a few yards from him in the brush
wood. Raising the necdle-gun he fired with
an aim that was only too we'll taken, for it
was not at a bear, but instead at his partner,
who had left the tent without his knowledge.
That he fired. The bullet took effect near the
lett elbow, ranged up the arm, which must
have been ina bent position, to near the shout
DER, then across the breast to the right arm
pvt, where it made its Exit. As soon as he
discovered his fatal mistake, Lorraine first
placed his wounded partner in the tent, did
what he could towards providing for his COM
fort, and made haste to Deer Lodge for assis-
lance. Strong and willing hands were no,
lacking and on Friday the relief corps
reached town with their suffering burden. Al
examination of his injuries showed that his
left arm was fr1ghtfully shattered with q
wound so severe that it wa extremely doubt,
full whether the patient could rally from tht
amputation that was at once seen to be nee
essary. The operation was performed by
Drs. Mitchell and Ives, who amputated the
shattered arm almost at the shoulder Joint
and dressed the wound in the breast. TIT
patient sank under the operation till eacl
breath was expected to be his last, then ralliet
until hopes were entertained of his final re
covery, but sank again under the shocl
which had been too great for his coustitutio,
to survive. Early on Saturday morning h
died, TO the intense grief of his partner, VIII
was we'll nigh distracted at the fatal effects Q

1t is a mistake to suppose that Butte is dull
because the streets are not lined with sew
eral hundred FOUNDERS. Active and expert
eneed miners have no difficulty IN finding
work, and the amount Of money disbursed
mGnlhly by the numerous mining, milling
and smelling companies is our times rs great
as that paid out two years ago. 1t is possible
that merchandising is somewhat overdone,
but anyone with a knowledge of t lie various
enterprises of tie camp, nearly all Of which
are successful, can readily ascertain iur him
self that the amount of money in circulation
is steadily increasing.

Probable Erection Of . 4o-ss.mp NH,

1t is reported on reliable authority that ar
rangements are almost completed between
Mr.. W.. A. Clark, owner of the Frank Moul.
ton mine, which adioins the Alice on the
west, and a Salt Lake company for the trans
fer Of a one-half interest in that noted prop
erty. The stipulation, it is understood, is to
the effect that in consideration of a deed to
one-half of the mine the purchasing parties
will import h~ois.ing machinery and Cornish
pumps necessary to sink a shaft to a depth of
eight hundred feet, and that they will erect
without unnecessary delay a forty stamp
dry-crushing mill with chlorodlzing furnaces,
six Sl-horse-power boilers, a 300-horse-power
engine, and other machinery of the most i'm
proved and durable pattern, embrac. ng a to-
tai expenditure of S25o,oO0. Negotiations
are not yet fully concluded, but there slittle
doubt that the project will be shortly con-
summated. 1t is believed that the mining
machinery will be ON the ground this fall, as
in all probability it will be ordered next
week, and that the construction of the mill
will be begun next spring, On the opening Of
freight communication.
Of the permanence, richness and extent Of
the Moulton mine there can be no doubt.
Located indisputably on the Rainbow lode, it
has virtually been developed by the Alice
shaft to a depth Of 100 feet, and as the Alice
/ vein has greatly improved in richness in the
west levels, it is reasonable to suppose thai
the improvement continues into the adjoin-
ing property, the Moulton. This being the
case the wisdom of opening up the Moult n
on a large scale will be at once conceded, for
not only may its development be depended
upon to result in immense advantage to the
owners. but it will be of immediate benefit
to the camp, and will materially aid in bring.

tana which may be confidently looked for as
a natural consequence of the intelligent in

Progress in Maine.

Maine seems to he drifting slowly
towards an era Of peace. There was
show of demonstration of force on
the part of the Fusionists, met by II
counter demonstration of military
force on the part of Gov. Davis and
the Republicans. But both parties
stoutly deny that violence was really
meditated. Meantime, the Fusionists
have really submitted their case to
the Supreme Court, which is n COM
plete hack.down for them. This Is
doubtless to pave the way for thcm
to retire in obedience to the court de.
cision, for which they are doubtless
seeking preteXt. This will leave
the victory with the Republicans
where it justly belongs. Then the
first thing to do. will be to 80 amend
their constitution so that a plurality
vote will elect governor; then get
rid of the cumbersome executive
council, and have the vote counted by
officials not personally interested in
the result. The Republicans hold the
fort, and it is very generally awarded
to them by the public opinion of the
whole nation.
