From our Travelling Correspondent
Editor Butte MINER:
The road from Cataract to this place for
the most of the way is good and solid, but in
some places the mud holes are almost impas-
sable. boulder station has improved greatly
| since my visit here Oh the 1st If april last.
Three stores, carrying a stock of general mer-
~chandise, appear to be doing a good business.
Mr.. Trotter, the proprietor ofthe hotel at this
place, is kept on the trot continuously on ac-
count of such a rush of business.
Capt. Cook, the postmaster, informs me that
the mail is assorted and goes out in five differ
! ent directions seven times a week. Colonel
L. M. Black has the contract from thisp point
to Gallatin City. The mail is now carried on
horseback, but as soon as the water lowers in
the streams the Colonel intends to put on a
| line of coaches and carry passengers. 1t is
devoutly to be hoped that Mr.. Black will also
put OH d line from Butte to Helena. The
travel over this route. would surely justify two
lines.
Boulder City is surveyed and staked off in
seem think it Is destined to be the Z" future
great - city of thiss section
The advantage this place enjoys lies in the
fact that it is surl Rounded by a very fine min
ing country, both leads and placers, and its
broad valley, which is almost entirely taken
up by ranchers.
! Griswold's cheese factory is located about
two miles from the hotel. n.

men Of the party who remained. In self
defence one of them named Sterrett, not
otofer as previously reported, drew . pistol
ana mot at Smith, who to all appearances
iell dead. Sterrett then called on witnesses
10 prove that he had fired in self defence and
TO note the fact that the PROSTATE man had a
pistol in his hand, but no sooner had he
spoken than the supposed corpse leaped to his
feet with a fearful oath and beat a retreat.
lie soon returned, apparently sorry for what
he had done and the whole party retired, to
be awakened about - o'clock by the noise of
Smiths brutal attack on Sterrett, as already
chronicled. Sterrett shot three times, one
bullet taking effect near the eye, and the
others striking near the top of the head and
penetrating the brain.
Smiths wild conduct is accounted for by
the fact that he was an lnveterate opium smok-
er, and having none of the vile drug with
him, experienced the usual effects of a total
deprivation Of it, and became partly insane.
Sterrett is fully justified by public opinion in
putting an end to the %ruffian's career.

S~prink the Streets.

Editor Butte MINER
The subject of street sprinkling is one in
which all citizens take an interest, and as one
OF the number, l should like to see the cheap.
est and best method employed to keep the
dust downto its proper level.
If the financial condition of the city gov
eminent has improved so far as to permit of
an increase OF official salaries, why is it that
the citizens of Butte are allowed to depend
on private enterprise for the cleaning and
watering OF our main street According to
the provisions Of the city charter this is es-
sentially a function of the city government,
yet our city fathers quietly ignore the fact
that a portion of our business men are pay
ing weekly subscriptions Gin addition to their
city taxes) to have our main ~thoroughfare
watered. If it is necessary to the health and
cleanliness of Butte that the street should be
sprlnkled, it is the duty of the city govern
ment to see that it is done. The present
arrangement certainly reflects very little
credit upon their management. If the mu-
niclpal finances wouldnot admit of the recent
salary increase and street sprlnkling TOO, then
l would suggest that some sort of a special
tax be levied by the city for the latter purpose
so that the burden may fall on all alike. AT
present, only a limited number of those re-
ceiving the benefit of the watering cart are
helping to pay for the same.
