New Bs,slness branches.

Mr. WI Sebree, who arrived Yesterday
at Butte, besides being a membc 81 tho mar.
chandising and banking firm OF sebree. Fer
rs u Holt, at the terminus, is also largely
interested at Salt Lake City in the mauufac-
ture mi sale of wagons, carriages and acri.
cultural implements. The object Of Mr..
oebree's visit to our city is to establish a
branch OF his business here to be carried on
by Messrs. Kinna & Jack, who will soon have
a full stock in the line in which he principally
deals, that is the Balm wagon-draft or light:
the celebrated Champion reaping and moving
machines; the Oliver chilled and Moline
plows, and the Tiger automatic rake. These.
together with several other. articles of minor
Importance, Mr.. Sebree will put on the mar
ket at such rates as will altogether shut off
competition from outside points, remote or
close at hand, The stock will be on display
by Messrs. kinna s. Jack within a short time.
Mr.. Boyce, whose removal from Helena to
Butte is mentioned by the Herald in a piece
reproduced in this issue, is a wide-awake,
prompt, fair-dealing business man, who, in
associating himself with the great dry goods
house of Sands Bros, chooses Butte as the
place promising the best future for his busi-
ness. Mr.. Boyce has been in business for
several years in Helena, where he was sue
cessor to the firm Of Toole, Leach &c Co., one
OF the earliest established dry goods houses
IN Montana. The thorough understanding
and careful attention to business which led to
success at ele will insure the same success,
and in a more marked degree, at Bite.

LETTER FROM GIBBONSVILLE.
Situation OF Inc Camp-Its LOdes and
Placers-Industr1es, stores. POpula-
ton. Etc. Etc.

Editor Butte MINER.
As there seems to be very little known on
the outside about this camp, a few items of
news concerning it may be of interest to some
of your readers. But first let me tell where
our town is located. Gibbonsville is in Idaho,
a short distance across the divide from the
head of the Bitter Root, and ON the direct
mines. 1t is about 80 miles from Butte and
only a few miles from the battle ground on
which, three years ago, Gibbons fight with
the Nez Perces took place. This is both a
quartz and a placer camp. To work the
former we have a ten-stamp mill and fourteen
~roasters, running steadily, on ore that averages
from thirty to a hundred dollars per ton.
Altogether about thirty lodes that will pay
have already been opened. Ed. Stickler owns
one of these, from which 100 tons yielded an
average Of $12O per ton. He has Is tons
more of the same kind ON the dump. The
Shaft on his claim is 10 feet deep, and shows
from two to four feet of high grade ore all the
way down. Cream Il Duane have a bonanza
which, from several tons now on the dump, is
well worth noticing. l have seen ore from
their mine that will pay two dollars to the
pound. At present they are running a tunnel
to tap the lode at a depth of $50 feet. The
Huron lode, owned by Means, Crogan 4
johnson, shows a fine body of ore. Butler X
Co. have struck it way up on the Rather.
Dan McCarty is working a full crew Oh his
claim. Tingley & Son also give employment
to a number of men in their mill and mine.
We have also goo& placer claims near by that
pay we'll. The Davis Bros saw mill supplies
the camp with lumber. jeremiah Fahey is
our principal merchant, having a large store
well filled with goods. Our town has a pop.
ulation of about IT'S, with not an idle man in
camp. If your correspondent should honor
us with a visit we will show him round and
get plenty of subscribers for the MINER.
SIRIUS.

Harrisburg, Penn, April 2S.--The Demo-

between the contending Philadelphia or Wal

to the hall of the convention, and a large
number of special door-keepers we're on hand.
The Randall people appeared to have thor
ough control cfall entrances TO the hall, and
many visitors received their tickets of ad-
mission before those of the delegates were is
sued. So strict we're the orders that il was
impossible for telegraph messengers to pass

in reaching the telegraph office. When
Speaker Randall entered the hall he was
greeted with most enthusiastic reception.
He had not been elected a delegate, but APP
peared as a substitute. Senator Wallace was
also present as n delegate.
About o'clock Speaker Randall bad
another short interview with Senator Wal

promise the difference between their respe T.
i've factions BY appointing a committee to
whom all differences should be referred.
At lilo the convention was called to order,
and Mr.. Cassidy announced that he brought
glad tidings to the convention and to all the
people in the commonwealth. He said that,
at the last moment, plan had been agreed
upon to adjust all differences in Philadelphia
in manner creditable to the entire Demo-
cratic party. He then named eommittee,
to whi,h, he said, all contests would be re-
ferred without debate.
Speeches we're made by Speaker Randall,

Circiing the North Pole.

A BEGINNING is about to be made,
says Mature, to carry out Lieutenant
Weyprecht's proposal for a circle of
observing stations around the North
Polar region. The Danish Government
has resolved TO establish a station at
Upernivik. in West Greenland, the
Russian Government has granted sub
sidy Tor an observatory at the mouth OF
the Lena, and another ON the new Siber
ian Islands; Count Wilczek is TO defray
the expenses Ola station on Nova Zemhla.
under the direction of Lieutenant Wey-
precht; the United States Signal Serv-
ice. under General Myer. has received
permission to plant an observatory at
Point Barrow. in Alaska; and it is ex-
pected that Canada will have a similar
establishment on some point of her
Arctic coast. At the Hamburg Con-
ference il was announced that Holland
would furnish the funds for a station
in Spitzbergen; and it is expected that
Norway will have an observing post
on the extremity OF the Province OF
finmark. This is good beginning.
and il is hoped III Il some sort OF agree
ment viii be established to have all the
observations made after uniform
method, otherwise their value will be
greatly decreased
