Near the race track, about I o'clock on
Wednesday evening, Mr.. William Hamilton
met with a very painful accident. He was
travelling on horseback and when near the
enclosure the animal stumbled throwing him
to The ground and breaking his right leg a
few inches above the ankle. As soon as the
unfortunate man could be removed to a
house, DR.. Hough was summoned in attend
ance and did everything possible to relieve
his suffering. There is thought TO be no
danger of a resort to anputation being neces-
sary though the fracture was a most painful
one. Mr.. Hamilton, as one of the Older citi-
zens Of Butte, is well known and widely res
pected in this~c community, where news Of his
misfortune will be received with sorrow by a
large circle OF friends.

Butte as "a Railroad Point.

The Montana Copper Company will, during
the present year, ship from his camp nearly
1000 tons of copper silver ore, the Gagnon
will ship 5000 tons and the output of a doZ-
ell other mines will swell the aggregate to
fully 10000 tons. The Alice company will
ship into the camp nearly 1000 tons of mln-
ing and milling machinery and supplies.
Judge A. J. Davis will probably put up ! 20
stamp mill and will sink a 500 foot shaft, for
both of which heavy machinery will be i'm
ported and with development other mines
of the district will prove equally as valuable
as the Alice, Gasnon or Lexington and will
require the importation Of fully as much
mining and milling supplies. The merchan,
disc and passenger traffic of Butte is increas.
ing more rapidly than is that of any other
town in the Territory, and we are perfectly
safe in saying that Butte can guarantee great.
er profits to a railroad than any other city in
the Northwest. Should the road he con.
structed to this city it would capture all tho
trade of Glendale and Deer Lodge and pass
through by far the most prosperous and pop
ulous section CT Montana Territory. W.
sincerely hope that the railroad officials will
carefully examine the resources of all tina
part of the country which would be tributary
to it, should it be extended to this mining
! and commercial metropolis.

Under date of May 25th, Mr.. B.. +. White,
the forwarding merchant at the terminus,
writes as follows -
Freights are still arriving in immense
quantities and we are entirely without any
mule or horse teams. We are shipping some
by OK teams, but they are SO poor and the
grass so backward that they have to 60 very
slow. The X. r. is now getting in good
shape and freight is arriving rapidly, fully a
hundred tons per day; with occasionally an
extra hundred per special train. Passenger
trains are running on time and if transporta-
ton would only come in We would soon be
in pretty fair shape again to move treights
satisfactorily, which / thinE will soon be the
case.
Nothing is being done toward extending
the road. 1t takes all the power the company
have at present to move the freight and
passengers, and the construction material
being all on the other side Of the mountains,
it cannot be brought over for the present.

Last evening at the residence of Mr.. Rolla
Butcher, aWalkerville, an informal birthday
party was given in honor of Miss Emma
Butcher. A sociable company was present
and a very enjoyable evenings entertainment
was had, consisting of private theatricsIs and
tableaux, in which the participants displayed
a considerable amount of amateur ability.
Mrs. Rymal and the Misses Butcher delighted
the company with some excellent acting, and
Mr.. VIM. Read, as heavy william, Mr.. Joe
Long, as a bloatcd bondholder, and Mr.. Har-
per, in another we'll suited character, estab-
lishehd an enduring reputation as actors.
The tableaux were presented with excellent
effect, and the entertainment was varied and
enlivened by some choice selections of vocal
and instrumental music. A very elegant col
lation of edibles, prepared by the estimable
hostess, was paltaken of by tie assembled
guests, who'on their dispersion unanimously
voted that the evening had been most delight
fully spent.

PipeAtone.

Although some very rich float has b cen dis
covered in the vicinity Of the PipeStone Pass,
no we'll dchued lodges have becn struck until
quite recently. As it is ve.y ditlicult to find
any out-crop. One Of The most promising of
the very few leads yet discovered is the Alta,
partly owned an! now being worked und""

Mr.. Wallace has Just returned from the Pipe
stone and feels quite confident that the Alta
will develop into a good property in Common
with other veins recently discovered. The
characteristics of the new hedges are some
what different from those presented II the
Butte mines, the ledge, being smaller and the
ore richer. If the railroad should happen TO
run through the lIpe.tont Pass, Mr.. Wallace
says some tall - prospecting will be done IN
that section, and judging from the quality Of
the float, some very rich mines Willie opened
up.

dred Stamps.

1t is now settled to 4 tolerable deorso of
certainty that the new Alice mill, the grading
for which has just been completed, will have
a much larger capacity than was at first in
tended. A few days ago Superintendent
Dunn received a dispatch from the main nj.

arrangements for putting in fifty stamps, in

were drawn up. This alteration. if made

and This without a very large increase in the
capacity OF the mill when completed. 1t is
believed that twenty stamps can be put IN al
most as cheaply as ten, leaving out of consid-
Grafton the not very heavy cost of the stamps.
Mr.. Dunn is therefore of the opinion that it
would be wise and economical to have the
mill OF slxty-stamp capacity, and in order to
present his views in the most forcible manner,
a few days ago dispatched Mr.. Julian Smith.
foreman of the mill to Salt Lake to confer
and discuss the matter with Messrs. Walker
Brothers. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the ACCESSIBILITY of the execution cf Mr..
Dunn's idea will be conceded bv the owners
of the property. There is no room to doubt
the capacity of the Alice to keep a sixty stamp
mill in constant and successful operation IN
addition TO the present twenty-stamp mill,
and it will be to the interest of the stock
holders as well as beneficial to the camp to
increase the milling capacity as far as posi-.
bile. The mine is improving daily, the great
ore shoot on the 500-foot level being larger
and richer than ever. Should the suggestion
to increase the capacity of the mill now il
course of constructions, be received tavorahly
1t is not likely to interfere in any way will
the erection of the twenty-stamp mill in con
temptation tor the treatment of surface ore
as this can be reduced most profitably by thu
wet crushing process. There is a strong prob
ability, therefore, that at no distant day Ion
stamps will be pounding away on ore from
the Alice bonanza, and no probability at al
but that they will be kept busy for years t.
come.

The Alice Mill.

Superintendent Dunn, of the Alice mill,
yesterday received a dispatch from Salt Lake
instructing him to make arrangements to
have the mill now in process of erection of
sixty stamp capacity, instead of forty, as
originally intended. This Will be welcome
intelligence to the public and of undoubted
benefit to the stockholders. Some changes
will be rendered necessary in the grading,
lumber and contracts, but it is believed that
the addition of the twenty stnmps will delay
the starting up of the mill but a very short
time.

The Saddcst Phase Of Life in the
Gold and Silver Mining Regions.

The saddest phase of this coast
probably of all gold and silver-mining
regions-is the absence of homes. We
mean real homes, whose founder laid
the first hearthstone and made the first
clearing with the thought that on that
spot he was to do his life's work, and
there, at last, amid familiar scenes, sink
into that sleep that is final. The alb
sence of this disposition has made
nomads of the men of this coast. They
came here originally with the thought
that in little while they would return
and make the home of their future in
the lands of their birth. Could the air.
castles which have been erected in
thought by men on this coast, while ly-
ing in hunks in rude cabins, or in
blankets around camp-fres, be woven
into picture, what city it would
make. But the years have stolen by;
except in isolated cases, the bewitching
dreams have never been realized, and
while the hoped-for homes were never
builded back in the land of childhood,
neither, alas, have they been builded
here. We do not mean to say that
there are not plenty of families living
in what they call homes. But those
who have homes which were created
with the expectation that they would be
permanent, that in and about them was
to be boarded the gathered treasures of
life time, are very few. This might,
perhaps, be expected here in the desert,
but the same is true of California, espe-
cially in the country. As a rule, the
farm-hOuses of California and their sur
roundings are perpetual sign of "For
Sale" On many Of those farms men
and families have lived for quarter Of
century, and still it has never been
home in any rightful sense of the word.
There has never been a time that tho
husband and father has not intended to
sell out in the course of few months
and never time that the family has
not hoped he would. Virginia { Nev.)

Legal Papers In. Rhyme.

A SUIT for breach of promise of mar.
riagc, which presents some novel fea-
lures, has just been brought in the
Brooklyn City Court by Miss Arabella
Parthenia Featherstone against j. Uriah
Allibone, tho damages being laid at
$4,000. Miss Featherstone is an or
phan, about thirty years of age, and
lives with an uncle near Allentown,
Pa She alleges that on July 81, 1879,
Allibone, who was spending his vaca-
tion in the neighborhood, asked her to
become his wife. She consented. and
fixed November 2S as the wedding day.
In the meantime, however, Allibone
was married to another woman. The
popularity of the papers in the suit is
that the complaint, the answer, and
even the attidavits are all in rhyme. Tho
complaint begins thus:
"The plaintiff, in seeking redress for her
woes,
Comes into court and respectfully shows
and after setting forth the circumstances
on which the action is based, closes as
follows-asking for damages:
"Ten thousand is tho sum, "
Though it would not requite me,
Twill teach Uriah, any way, >-
How much it cost to slight mo-"
The affidavit to the complaint is as
follows:
Arabella Parthcnia Fcatherstono, ....
The plaintiff, being duly sworn,
Says: Il have read the facts above,
The same are true of my knowledge born.
Save the defendants VOWS of love;
And as to those do declare
l did believe him-that swear"
The answer denies the allegations of
the Complaint, and the defendant de-
clares that .-..:.s, . t..a.
-" He no promise of marriage has broken,
As never such subject was dreamed Of or
spoken"
He also says that the plaintiff repre-
sented herself to be engaged to marry
one James r. Vedder. His affidavit is
unique: a.-
"Kings COunty-Allibone, J. o.,
First being sworn In manner due,
Says the answer above is true"
The lawyers in the case declare that
the complaint and answer arc strictly
legal.--M. =. Tribune.
