City Council.

The committee appointed TO make inquiries
relative to the probable cost of building four
plank lined clsterns in Main street for fire
purposes reported that $500 each was the
maximum estimate.
On motion a committee was appointed TO
draw up plans and specifications for the same.
Resignation of Alderman o. B. Whitford
was read and accepted, and the End Of De-
cember appointed for an election, in the 4th
ward, of his successor.
On motion the petition of LeLande &
Ayotte, asking the privilege Of running a
dance house within the corporate limits, was
taken up and af.er some discussion referred
to a committee.
Mr.. G. Z. Ruthrauff, agent of the Brush
electric light, was introduced, and explained
the operation OF the light in eastern cities,
where it is being used for street illumination.
He concluded by making a proposition to
light Butte for $4,000 Tor five years, divided
as follows $1,000 the first year; $500
the second; $1,000 the third $500 the
fourth and $4,000 the fifth. This division of
the price is made to anticipate the giowth of
the city that is sure to come, and makes the
tax an exceedingly light one to begin with.
The city would be given from 80 10 20 days
to decide whether the contract was complied
with, and would not be asked to expend a
dollar in the experiment.. The Illumination
promised would equal 1000 gas lamps. The
council accepted an invitation from Mr.. Ruth
rauffto visit the Alice works Monday even
ing at half-past SIX.
A committee of three, consisting of Alder.
men Roach, Lowery and Gamer, was appoint.
ton and to report at the next meeting on the
ACCESSIBILITY of accepting NJ. Kuthrauff's
proposition. Adjourned until Wednesday
| evening.

THE MINES.

Operations in the Lexington are confined
altogether to the slopes in the west 20 foot
level which are yielding Is tons of ore daily.
1t assays high in silver and carries from s. to
Sis in gold. Sinking of the new shaft has
not yet been resumed, for, though the engine
is in position. the pump has not arrived.
In the face of the Colusa east drift, about
$50 feet from the DO !om of the shaft, some
large pockets of copper ore assaying as high
as 30 per cent. copper have been struck. The
average value of he produce IS higher than
formerly. A small force ~sufices to extract
enough to keep The smelter supplied.
The whim for the new shaft on the Anse,-
mo has been completed and sinking will be
resumed to-day or tomorrow.
At the Original the 100 foot level is being
extended east and tfe ledge prospected with
good results. The sinking of the main :.in-
cline continues, with little change in the char
acter and richness of the ledge.
The Slopes in the 225 foot west level of the
Gagnon are producing as usual. The ore
carries considerable iron, but is of mo e than
average value in silver. It is being treated
at the Colorado works.
The Pacific IS being vigorously worked.
The breast of ore in the west drift is 10 feet
wide and is producing from 20 to so tons of
free ore per day.
The Salisbury continues 10 produce from
eight to ten tons of free o. daily.
In the east drift of the North Sta, stop:n2
has been commenced on a four-toot body Of
rather low grade ore, and the Clipper mill is
making a very successful run on the product,
The pumping and hosting machinery en-
route for the Star West has not yet arrived
and as a result, the young bonanza is taking
a rest.
Some very rich ore is being extracted t!on
the Ophir. The incline, at a depth of abou
so feet, has made connection with the soutl
vein.
The new ledge, the discovery of which wa:
reported last Thursday, in the north crosscu
Of the Magma Charta at a depth of 2O6 feet
has been penetrated for a considerable dis
lance and the ore body opens up in fin'
shape. No hanging wall has yet been reached
The east and west drifts from the bottom
Of the Stevens shaft are being extended an,
are producing some free ore of e~xcellen
grade.

He Will Bet n Hat.

Inasmuch as the New North- West assails
in its weak way the gentlemen who were
partly instrumental in the success of the flu
sion movement, characterizes them as traitors
to their parties and exhausts its vocabulary of
billingsgate in denunciation of any and all
who support their political adversaries from
personal motives, we have been authorized by
one of these mallgned though not offended
gentlemen to offer a bet of a new hat, and to
offer it inthe mostfricndly spirit, to thise effect:
That the editor of our able and consistent
contemporary at the recent election voted for
five democrats on the legislative ticket and
for one prominent democrat on the county
ticket. What says our friend to the PROPOSE

Accident.

Yesterday morning a resident of Silver
Bow, named Benjamin Duoden, met with a
painful accident from the unexpected dis
charge OF a shotgun. 1t seems that a neigh
Dor had called in to borrow the weapon,
which was laying near the bed. Mr.. Dud-
den, who is an invalid, and who had not arisen
at the time the neighbor requested the loan,
reached for the gun, which, being loaded,
vent off, blowing off one of his (Mr. Dud-
den's) fingers. The neighbor got the gun, but
Mr.. Dudden did not get his finger.

Life OF Peter Hume.

About one O'Clock on Friday night a po-
tween Taylor's saloon and the Western
brewery. He was apparently fast asleep, but
ON being awakened and assisted to his feet
agreed to go home without further delay.
The policeman then left him and entered a
saloon. Soon afterwards Dennis Farrell, who
man lying in the snow. He called to his
assistance the policeman above referred 10,
who at once identified the PROSTATE and
almost insensible man as Peter Hume, whom
he had started to his cabin but a few minutes
previous. Owing to the GOODNESS of the
weather and to the large amount of liquor he
had taken, the unfortunate man was unable
to walk, ana a job wagon which stood in
front OF: Todd's was brought into requisition
to take him home. With the assistance of
several gentlemen who knew the old man i'll
his flush days, the policeman conveyed him
to his cabin, located a short distance soulh-
east of the city, and put him to bed, where he
was left, as they supposed, in a safe inc rom
Portable condition. At seven o'clock yesle,-
day morning a messenger was sent down to
see what was required to 'Drace up the old
gentleman, but the messenger found him
dead.
A coroner's Jury was called by Judge Bar
rett, and a verdict was rendered in accord
ance with the facts as stated, viz That
deceased came TO his death from the effects of
intemperance and exposure.
Peter Hume lived in Butte many years,
coming here when it was a placer camp. He
was always known as an honest, good-hearted,
industrious man but though he was no.

THE NATIONAL NINE.


Several weeks ago it will be remembered, a
party of capitalists from Boston visited Butte
and remained several days. 1t was impossible
at the line to ascertain the precise nature of
their mission, but from the fact that a consid-
cradle portion of their stay was spent in ex,
aiming the ''lay'' ofthe National mine andi in
acqualnting themselves with the value and ex-
tent of the adjoining claims, 1t was surmised
that the object of their trip was in some way
connected with an enterprise in which the
the National mine figured. After remaining
several days they returned to the east without
making known the OBJECT of their visit.
1t is now known that the conje' ,ure as to
their intention with regard to the National
was a correct one, as since their departure
letters have been received in Butte in which
the object of their visit here is explained.
Their report on the past me prospective flu
ture of the mine was of such a nature that a
syndicate was formed at the Hub and
the negotiations have ended in the purchase
of the property. The consideration is stated
to be $4,000.
The season is too far advanced now to per-
nit of the importation Of the machinery
required to resume the development of the
mine, as anextensive cave last summer placed
the old workings in such bad shape that they
can not be repaired. 1t is the intention,
therefore, 10 sink a new shaft and to open up
the mine in the best possible shape.
The National lies west of and adjoins the
famous Gagnon and in the west workings of
the latter mine the vein is of an extent and
richness such as TO leaye no doubt of the val
lie of the Boston company's property. Miller
T. Durfee are the gentlemen chiefly interest
ed in the new enterprise, though we believe
the company is il rich and extensive one, be-
ing the sam" that recently purchased the
G!oster gold mine in the Silver Creek district.
