DEMocHAqIC PARISH CONVENTION
After consultation with prominent de-
mocrats from various parts Of the par
ish, IN town this week on account Of
the session of the police jury, the chair
man Of 7eur parish executive committee
has called mass meeting for Wednes-
day, April T, 1880, to elect delegates to
the democratic State and Congressional
conventions to be held at New Orleans

son Of the year with all our citizens, the
opinion was unanimously expressed by
leading democrats from the country
that a mass meeting in this instance
would be preferable 10 a regular con
ycntion. We hope to see the mass
meeting largely attended, and that its
proceedings, as usual, viii be harmo-

Our PoLIcE jury held its last SEES
sion this week, and it is highly credita-
bic to its members, in view OF the
great distance most of them had to
come, aud the difficulty Of travelling,
in consequence of the recent freshets,
that all but one of its eight members
we're present. The retiring Police
Jurors have discharged their arduous
and responsible duties consoicntiously,
and faithfully, and deserve, in very
high degree, the grateful appreciation
Of their constituents.
The new Police Jury, required to
meet and organize one week from next
Monday, april 6th) or as soon as
practicable thereafter, has not yet been
appointed by the Governor, and we
have no idea WHO viii be appointed.

Gates the enactment Of a law under

A Pioneers Death.

At the Miners Hospital, yesterday morn
ing, Thomas Hoops, died of pneumonia. De-
ceased was between fifty mi sixty years of
age, and dated his residence in the territory
from 's3. He was one of the first men to en-
gage in merchandising in Montana, and dur
ing the Alder excitement was a member of
the firm doing business at Virginia City un-
der the name of Hanna & Co. He was at that
time a most capable business man and nuM-
bered among his friends all who had any deal
lngs with him. He came to Butte at an early
day, and resided at different times in other
parts of the territory, being everywhere re.
garded as a man with few faults and many
virtues. Like all other pioneers of Montana
he met with successes and reverses of fortune
and accumulated at different periods consid
cradle means, with which he was ever ready
to bestow charity. During later years mis-
fortune rendered him careless of his fate, ant
exposure and dissipation brought an end t.
his career. He will always be remembers,
as a man of generous impulses and an honest
upright citizen.

The Alice Mill.

The sixty stamps of the Alice were drop
ped yesterday morning and the ore which had
previously been put through the Blake crush
ers and subjected to a proper treatment on
the drying floor, was pulverized in the batter
les and carried to the roasting furnace for
liberalization, after which 1t was put through
the pans and settlers, all of which were in
operation. The machinery worked without
a hitch and there is no doubt but that when
the final start is affected, a long and contin-
uous run will be made.
The engine room has been fixed up III
handsome style, the wall being papered and
the woodwork painted. The $50 horse pow
or engine which is to furnish the motive
mower for the huge concern, has been chris
tened "Baby Mlne," the name being paint
ed on the side. 1t Is a model OF strength
and beauty, and when in motion seems IN
stinct with intelligence. Quite a number OF
visitors were present yesterday while the mill
was in operation and within the next few
a.vs others will doubtless avail themselves
Of the opportunity of seeing the largest
ouartz mill in the world. 1t is understood
that when the stamps are dropped for a maj
start, visitors will be excluded.

Justices Court.

'ne justices court yesterday morning,
'adge Wilcox presiding, John Troy was ar
ra'gned charged with stealing a deer from the
premises Of the Virginia Chop House. He
was caught in the act by a policeman. and
tnertore had no alternative but to plead
guilty. which he did. He pleaded, in extern
uatlon OF his crime, that he was starving and
therefore was forced to resort to stealing in
order TO secure a meal, w%hereupon the Judge
asked:
"Dld 1t require a whole deer to satisfy the
cravings of your appetite P'
mo, your Honor, but if I had taken only
a portion OF the animal the offense would
have been quite as %dishonorable and 1 should
have repeated it the nex night, which would
nave been committing a wrong act twice, and
l should have been considered more culpable
in the sight of Heaven. 10 1 was conscien.
tious enough to take it all at once"
He was sent up for 80 days in the county
Jail.
TIT second case was that of James Charles
McDermott, who was arrested for stealing 9
watch on the night previous. He pleaded
not guilty, but the evidence of his guilt bein,
conclusive, he was sentenced to imprisen
ment for 30 days, and will go to Deer Lodg
in company with Troy.

fearful Reflections Over the Pinafore.
Editor Butte MINER:

Editor Butte MINER:
A ride of twelve miles in a northwesterly
direction from Helena, brought ne to Silver
City, a village which claims the honor of hay
ing the Oldest postofice in the territory.
During the days of placer mining on Silver
creek, and at the time of river travel, Silver
City was a place Of much Importance. 1t was
the county seat of Lewis and Clarke before
Helena was dreamed of. The streams Three
Mile, Seven Mile and Ten Mile are situated
that distance from this place.
Leaving Silver City the traveller is soon
winding his way among the hills bordering
Silver creek, where the ground fol several
miles is %ploughed and furrowed by the hardy
miner in years gone by, in his eager search
for the yellow metal.
No one knows the amount that has been
taken from this stream, but it surely has
yielded its share.
About SIX miles from Silver City a COM
pany of Pig Tails have been working hydraul-
ic diggings for the past three years, but any
interrogations put to the Cinnamon as to the
value of their ~clean-ups ELECTS the response
"Me no sabe."
Amile further up the stream and we hear
the steady roll of the batteries of the Drum
Lummond mill, owned by Thos. Cruise, who
is also sole owner Of the immense gold and
silver mine of that name. Here a new town
has been built during the past year, one store,
one saloon and two boarding houses being
necessary. The Drum Lummond is the
mine of the place, although the Pinaiore can
Justly be claimed a budding bonanza. 1t was
the fortune Of your correspondent, about a
year and a half ago, to be the discovelor and
sole owner of the Pinafore NINE. A very
small compensation in a time of misfortune
compelled me to part with it. To-day, when
l stood by a shaft on the claim and saw the
rich ore being taken out from the FIVE foot
ledge, l inwardly thought, ''Verily the way of
the paospector is hard" B. Wilson & Co.,
of Belmont. own Is feet Of the vein, and their
portiont although small in length, appears to
make up in width, of ore ranging from 500
to $500 per ton. Mr.. Wilson's ground has
the appearance of being an immense 'blow-
out" and for a width, yet to be determined, is
one mass of good paying, free milling ore,
carrying both gold and silver. Vestel, Muth
g. Co. own several claims in the immediate
vicinity, inclnding the remainder of the Pin
afore location.
Here we are within one mile of Belmont,
and the improvements of that camp deserve a
letter for themselves, so, for the present,
adios. X.

Ferdinand Hirsch, which was long and tedi-
GUS, and the court adjourned at 8 p. NJ, hitch
ing on the point of legality of what is known
as Dixon's location notice, which, after ex-

admitted in evidence.
The examination of Hirsch was continued
to-day, and was vastly amusing, notwithstand-
ing its length and the noise with which it was
conducted.
Only three witnesses were examined up to
the close of the afternoon hour, when court
adjourned till 8 a. m. tomorrow.
The protracted examination of the first
witness has delayed the trial at least one day
longer than expected.

An Arctic Experience e.

A prominent citizen who resides in the
west end of town had a little picnic party
early yesterday morning all by himself. A
few rods FROM his house is the Gussie mine,
on which a shaft has been SUM to a depth OF
about 25 feet. This shaft serves the purpose
of a well, and at the time stated the citizen
went forth to draw some water. The night
having been a very cold one, however, the
water in the bottom was covered by a thick
layer Of ice, and it became necessary for the
gentleman, who is something of an athlete,
to make a descent which he accomplished
by means of a piece of scantling and a rope.
Having broken the ice, he started hand over
hand for the surface, but had got no more
than ten feet, when he became unable to pro-
coed and was forced to slide back. The
thermometer was below zero and the citizen
was en- dishdbille, so that his situation was by
no means enviable. He made repeated at
tempts to regain the surface, but each time
was forced to the bottom, until, after becom-
ing thoroughly exhausted by the extra exer-
ton, he threw up the sponge and quoting
some of the most nervous passages of scrip
ture, took a seat in a drift, where he speedily
began to undergo the freezing process. Time
dragged its slow length along, and the tenn
perature of the shaft seemed to get colder
and colder. The thought of missing his
breakfast and perishing in that 25-foot hole,
not more than a few rods distant from his
home, did not inspire emotions of great joy.
AS a last, desperate resort, the gentleman
therefore raised up his voice in a loud if not
melodious key, and after thus exercising his
vocal powers for something over an hour,
succeeded IN attracting the attention of a
passer by and was hoisted to the surface, TO
would not make the descent again for many
Nickels.
