MARRIED.
Two Happy Victims to the Darts Of Cupid

Yesterday morning, at 10 O'Clock, at the
residence of the brides parents, a marriage
upon which society sets its stamp of hearty
approval, was solemnized in this city, Mr..
Richard B. Wallace being the fortunate
groom and Miss Mollie Griffith the lady of his
choice. Mr.. Wallace is a very popular gen.
tleman, is closely Identified with the mining
interests of the Silver City and has been for
a long time superintendent of the Sill YER Bow
mill, which he has managed with excellent
good judgment. He is in every way worthy
of the smiles of fortune and Is to be congratu-
lated on the event of yesterday-the happy re-
a~lizaSion of his hopes. The bride, beautiful
and accomplished, has long been one OF So
ciety's favorites, and begins a new life under
the most nattering auspices, to the eminent
satisfaction of her many friends. The mar
riage was performed by Rev. j. +.
Russell, in the simple but impressive torn OF
the Presbyterian church. Besides the imme-
diate family circle only a few invited friends
were present. After lunch had been eaten
the COON aud his lovely bride departed for
Helena where they will spend their honey
moon.

Almost a. ,SensaliUn.

Several days ago Butte came very near
having a frst-class sensation. A stranger in
This sanity city who was acquainted with a
family living on lower Park street, and who
was intending to go down there with his wife
to spend the evening, had started with that
object in view and had reached Owsley &
Mantle's stable, when he suddenly remem-
bered that he had special business at one
of the Main street stores. lie therefore re-
quested his better half,or tEree-fourths as the
sequel proved, to remain on the corner while
he went up town, to which she assentad. He
was absent perhaps fifteen minutes, and On re-
turning was thrown into a cold perspiration
by finding that she was gone! He yelled her
name to the winds, and gaining no reply, hur-
ried of to find a policeman, with blanched
features and hair on end. He found Marshal
Warfield, to whom he howled in anguished
accents his consuming fear that his wife had
been kidnapped.
The marshal treasured him as well as he
could, and advised him to 60 and eat some
cold pigs feet and cool himself of, but he was
inconsolable, and could hardly stand up
through excess of fear, so that worthy off ce1
consented to accompany HIM in the search
for the lost partner to his affections. Up
one street and down the other the
worthy pair trudged, inquiring al

and the frenzied husband were utterly ex'

whelming joy of the latter, the cause of al

A. the Alice MilI.

The progress made during the past two
weeks towards the completion of the Alice
mill is very satisfactory. The tree batteries
of boilers, with their attachments, have been
successfully put up. The $50 horsepower
engine, the largest in the territory, is in posi-
ton, and lacks only the ay-wheel, not yet ar
rived, to be complete. Twelve of the eigh-
teen pans and six of the nine settlers are
ready to begin work. The mortars for sixty
stamps and battery tlmbers for the same are
in place and the stamps are in the mill ready
for adjustment. The retorts and a portion OF
the winters salt supply have also been re-
celved. On the ore floor 400 Tons Of ore have
been dumped, to be in readiness for the
stamps when the fires are started. The Sted-
efeldt auxiliary furnaces on the west side of
the mill will be finished this week, aid those
on the east side are being forwarded as fast as
possible. Outside of the mill is a reserve of
upwards of 1000 IONS of ore, to be used in
| case of accident to the machinery at the mine.
| The inside of the building is already begin
ming to look like a quartz mill. 1t will be
complete in all its appointments, and will be
the largest structure of the kind in the
world. 1t is a veritable forest of timber.

At the race track yesterday the only event
of importance was the quar,er-mile dash be-
tween Deceiver, Spanker, Harry Bluff and
Little Dick, for "a purse of 500 and gate mon
ey. The majority of the crowd had a dead
pointer on Little Dick, but the result demon
strated the truth of that pious old saw, "Man
proposes, but God disposes." The start was
not effected without great trouble. Spanker
running through no fewer than six times be.
fore an even start could be obtained. When
the 90 was given, Deceiver lead out, follow
ed by SPEAKER, Dick and Bluff, in the order
named, the horses passing under the WIRE
without changing their position. Considera-
BILE money changed hands on the result, and
those who bought the field against Dick are
heavy winners. After the race a lively fight
occurred between Two of the riders, which
the crowd enjoyed immensely. There is a
probability of another race today, between
Harry bluff and Dutchman.

ton that the animal should not be injured
thereby. This offer not being accepted. the
owner OF the horse declined to allow him to
finish the race, and the heat and bets were
declared off by the judges, to the evident sat-
i~sfaction of a majority of the crowd. As 10
the merits of the controversy we desire tn
make ne statements, contenting ourselves
with the remark that the judges ruling,
whether right or wrong, should be accepted
ny all fair-minded persons without a demur-
rer. 1t they were wrong it is because they
were mistaken, not because they desired to
90 injustice to any interested parties. Ifthey
are right it will convince those parties of the
utility OF any future attempt to lose a race
when it is possible to win, it. Whether Bru-
tus could win or not, however, is a matter
very difficult to decide, for many good horse
men believe that Billy Grant is too many for
the iron gray however speedy the latter may
have been at some former period of his life.
The last event of the season was the called
up. The contestants were Cameron's Cable
John, Nantes Little Mac and Benjamin's
Smoky, the latter to buggy-a very wise pre-
caution. The horses lit out at a lively rate
when the so was given, Smoky dropping into
the rear. The race between the other two
was quite exciting, and was wen by Gable
John in the very slow time of 3:12.
The venerable Smoky was distanced. In
the next heat Mac soon took the pole anc
went down the back stretch in three-minuL
time. John gained a lead, however, an,
passed under the wire in 3:15- The thirt
and deciding heat was but a repetition of thu
other two, as far as the result was concerned
Mac held the lead to the three-quarter, pole
but coming down the home-stretch flew all tt
pieces, giving the advantage to the Sorrel
who skipped under the wire in 3:11a.

At the Grand Central Hotel on Monday
evening, a very pleasant matrimonial event
occurred in the union forever of Mr.. George
L. Decker and Mrs. Martha A. Faubel. The
groom is well known in Butte as a contractor
and builder, and Mrs. Faubei, though having
resided in the city but "A few months, has
made many friends. The OCCASION of the
marriage was a very pleasant one. The SER
vice was performed by the Rev. Father De-
Reckere at $50 o'clock, in the presence of a
large number of popular ladies aud leading
citizens. After the ceremony was over, the
company repaired to the DINING room of the
hotel where the light fantastic was tripped,
and where an elegant collation. was spread
by the proprietor. The happy couple begin
their c~onJugal career with the best wishes Of
many friends. We acknowledge the courtesy
of the groom in sending to the MINER sane
tum a basket of champagne, but record with
infinite grief the fact that it arrived after the
office was closed and the paper gone TO press.
However the will is us good us the deed.

Silver Bow mill. In the east shaft no work
is being done, though as soon as the roasters
in the mill are ready to fire up the extraction
OF base ore will begin.
Active operations continue on the 100 foot
east level, which is being widened to the full
width of the vein along the entire length OF
the drift-325 feet. The object, as before
stated, is to put the property in good shape
for the heavy extraction of ore, which will
soon be necessary for the c%ompany's smelter.
1t is estimated to be al easy matter to In
crease the productive capacity of the mine to
100 tons daily, and those who have visited
the properly will readily understand that this
increase is easy OF accomplishment. As soon
as the mechanical force can be spared from
the now almost completed smelter the build
ing of the new shaft house to cover in the
main shaft will be begun and pushed to an
early completion. The hosting machinery
will be among the heaviest yet imported into
the territory.
The prospects north of the Alice are devel-
opiRg some rich ore bodies, and will I'M
doubtedly come into early prominence.
The ledge has not yet been struck in the
Magma Charta shaft.
The Alex Scott is being vigorously worked
by Rowand & Co., who are extracting some
excellent ore.
The west drift from the bottom of the Star
West shaft is being vigorously forwarded with
satisfactory results.
A new shaft has been started ON the Volun-
teer, with excellent prospects Of pay ore.
The east drift in the Salisbury shaft is 16C
feet long. The slopes are producing 10 tons
daily of fair grade free ore.
There haye been no important develop
ments in the Gagnon bonanza during the past
week.
Sinking on the Original continues. The orr
in the bottom of the incline Is improving il
quality, though the ledge is somewhat mar
row. The slopes from the 1OO-foot level ar
yielding all excellent grade of ore.
Several mines south OF the city III whicl
the volume of water proved too much for tn
windlasmen will soon be started up with tn
necessary pumping machinery.
Encouraging reports have been receive
from the 4th Of July, in the Main range.
The Burnet, continues to roll out 30 ton
of low grade Or per day.
Work on the High Ore is suspended pent
ing the arrival OF machinery.
A block OF ore in the first level of the LIE,
ington is yielding 10 tons each "a hours, an
allows the stamps of the Lexington mill 4

The Parrot mine was never in uch exec
lent shape as al present, and will prove itse
fully equal to the task of keeping the pr

shaft a south crosscut has been run in 80 fe

Died

On Saturday night, at l1:45, Miss Minnie
N%eidenhofan, after a lingering illness, died
at the age Of seventeen years and nine
months, to the almost u~nsuppertable grief of
a loving mother and to the deep sorrow of a
very large circle of warm friends. Mrs. Nei-
denhofen, who is engaged in business in
Butte, came to Montana originally from Wy
mona, Minnesota, bringing with her Miss Min
ME, who was then a bright and winsome girl
just merging into womanhood. The young
lady's illness dates from the 18th of July last,
up to which time she had enjoyed good
health, though of a naturally delicate consti-
tuition. On that day she contracted "A cold,
| her condition in spite of the best medical aid
gradually becoming worse until her illness
finally developed into typhoid pneumonia,
which. resulted in her death as stated.
During her residence in Butte she had ell
deared herself to a large circle of acquaint-
ance S, whom she irresistibly att C by the
brightness of her intellect, the sweetness of
her disposition and the charming grace of her
department. What makes her untinIely de-
mise particularly sad is the fact that she was
Just on the eve of being married, the wedding
costume having already been provided. But
she was wed to the angel of death.
The funeral took place yesterday. The
features of the deceased wore a composed
and beautiful expression, and the spectacle
was rendered particularly touching by the fact
that the remains were attired in what were
intended for her wedding robes, with bouquets,
orange wreaths, etc. One of the longest funeral
PROFESSIONS ever seen in Butte followed the
remains to the cemetery, where all that was
mortal of a pure and lovely girl was laid to
rest-a fearful exemplitication of the adage
"whom the gods love die young"
