Mr.. T. II. Dobson, a former resident OF
Butte, has just returned from the judith
Basin, where he passed the winter. Mr..
Dobson was at the Yog' lines for some
weeks. His opinion of TIE district is that
very little will be known of it SO long as the
claims remain in the hands Of their present
owners. The proprieters of the Yogo claims
are for the most part either "squaw men " or
hunters. classes whose affinity for the pick
and shovel is not remarkably strong. Instead
of trying to open their claims most OF them
are holding on to SELL The old game.
Proceedings against the miners who took
possession of the Trout mine at Philipsburg,
have been dropped. After the civil difficulty
had been adjusted IN the compromise ar
ranged between Messrs. Caplice g. Smith and
the miners, several of the latter were arrested
on the charge of unlawful interference, and
taken to Decor Lodge, but no witness for the
prosecution appearing in the examination be-
fore Justice Gleason, the case was dismissed.
ALPS Well that ends well.
Butte's death roll for the year ending May
31st, 80, comprises twenty-three children and
nine adults who died natural deaths. This is
the report made by the Sexton Of the City
Cemetery, but since the cemetery is the burial
ground for the district comprised within a
radius of 10 miles of Butte, it will be under
stood that the death rate is very light. The
population of the district from which deceased
persons find their final resting place III the
Butte Cemetery is at least five thousand.

A NEW RACE TkACK.
Prospect OF Some Exciting sport this
Summer.

There is now a strong probability that .
new race track will be made within q few
weeks and that some races. in which all the
more noted flyers of the Territory will partic-
ipate, will be arranged during the coming
summer. A number of gentlemen of this
city, who own fast horses, and others who
eitherpropose to " some, or VII take a great
interest in turf matters, have the matter in
hand, and there is every reason to believe
that the project will be pushed to a successful
issue. Mr.. James A. Murray informs us That
about $1,000 have been already Subscribed
and if the subject is cHuvassed = little more
it is thought that this amount can be increased
to $1,000, or to any reasonable sum required.
The necessary ground has been selected and
unless suitable arrangements are made with
the owner of the track heretofore used, a
force Of men will be at once employed to
make a course fit for the desired purpose. 1t
is designed next fall to make up come purses
and to invite The horsemen of the Territory
to come and win thcm-if they can. There
is no reason shat Butte should rot have
annual races as Interesting and exciting III
those in which Helena yearly INDUCES. We
have some fine stock i'll this county ana ait
confident that some good records will be
made and that = great deal Of money viii
change hands. We therefore wish every sue
cess to those gentlemen who are SO earhesti.
interesting themselves in The project to Civ
tile public some legitimate sport during TN
approaching summer.

Fourth Of July celebration.

Our National holiday is so near at hand
that it is high time for us to begin making
preparations for its observance; since 1t is
the general wish not only that We celebrate,
but also that our celebration, when compared
with those of former years, be on a scale
commensurate with our city's rapid growth.
Within four weeks the dawn of the Fourth
will be ushered in, and yet no one except the
Fire company has taken a single step toward
paving the suspicious date the respect aue it
as the anniversary of the nation birth. At
their last meeting tho fremen, with their
| characteristic public spirit, voted to have a
parade during tho day and a grand ball in the
evening, as their share towards contributing
to the days festivities, Committees to take
in hand the necessary arrangements were ap'
pointed and both our public halls-Owsley'.
and Loebsr'.-have already been engaged
for the ball, which is to DO a most bri 'lisn'
affair, if We may Judge Of it in advance by
tue very thorough preparations to be made
for it. The dance will answer admirably tt
bring the ceremonies of the day to a fttlnl
termination, but in the celebration itself
others beside the firemen should participate
1t would be All excellent idea for the Miners
Union and each of our other societies to CO
operate with the firemen in the parade, an
for a citizens committee to take upon them
selves the task of procuring funds necessar
to defray expenses. Music should be LIBERAL

A BIG DRIVE,
sheep Coming to
The Woo River MininE Excitement
Probability OF an Indian Outbreak.

Mr.. Harrie 5. Mills arrived in Butte vester-
day, having just returned from Jordan valley.
oregon, with a large band of sheep. The
trip was a rough and perllous one. The drive
was begun on the 18th of March, and would
have been finished at an earlier date but for
the fact that owing to the deep snow on
Camas prairie Mr.. Miles was compelled to
come into the Territory by way of Malad,
Idaho. Feed was scarce along the entire
route, the sheep subsisting on sage brush dur
Ing the greater part of the journey. Silver
Bow was reached on the 2Gth of May, from
which point the flock will doubtless be taken
to the ranch of Miles Brothers in the valley.
MIR. Miles reports that a very heavy emf
grafton is setting in towards the Big Wood
river. the scene of the latest mining excite
meni, and that fully 800 men are already in
the country. The majority Of the stampeders
are from Utah, Idaho and Oregon, Montana
being represented by only a few prospectors.
MIR. Miles met quite a number of men going
into the country afoot and destitute of pro-
visions or money. One party he came across
were literally in a starving condition and
would inevitably have persisted had he moi
OPPORTUNITY arrived. The Wood river district
is situated in the Salmon river country about
GO miles west of Challis. The mines are re
ported to be very rich, hut it is highly mprob
able that any thing has been discovered t.
justify such tremendous influx of popula
ton as is now heading towards the nev
Dorado.
On Horse Prairie MIR. Miles had an inter
view with Major Jim, who claims to be, &C
cording to Indian usage, the head chief of tn
Bannacks, but who Mr.. Miles says was deposc
by the agent to make room for another wal
rior who understands English. The latte
it is said, has been dispatched to Washlngto
to sign a treaty for the removal of the tribe
the vicinity Of the Crow reservation. He
expected to return in a few days and will
likely to meet with . warm reception. Maj'
Jim has about 200 warriors, and Peggy, al
p other chief who is not satisfied with the ne
< order of things, has about the same force
his command. Both Jim and Peggy express,
4 their firm determination to Mr.. Miles not
be removed, and that rather than give up the
r present lands they will fight. There Is tn
a possibility of a small Indian war.

THE
Butte Almost the Scene OF q Bloody
Tragedy.

Yesterday morning John Kane was arrested
for stabbing David O'Rourke, the circum-
stances of the case being briefly these -
Kane had rented a house to a lady m
Drake, and being unable to collect the rent,
took a stove as security for its payment, after
wards moving into the house from which it
had not yet been taken. Mrs. Drake,
however, claiming the stove to be hers denied
Kane's right to its possession, hired = dray
and secured the services of O'Rourke to re.
move it to the place where she now resides,
Arrived at the door, O'Rourke was forbidden
by Kane to enter. and threatened with death
should he persist in his determination.
Nothing daunted, however, he passed into
the house in company with the drayman but
on undertaking to remove the stove, was con-
fronted by Kane who had armed himself with
al axe, evidently for offensive purposes. The
drayman, who knew nothing of the circum-
stances of the case and fearing that blood
would be shed, sought to restrain the alleged
owner of the stove, with which purpose in
view he approached him from behind, pin
IoNGu UiS &IillSs AIN tiiSANcJ
unable TO execute his threat. In the scuffle,
however, Kane managed to draw a knife.
O'Rourke endeavored to secure the weapon
but Kane, partly loosening his arm from the
drayman's grasp, lunged forward and slightly
wounded O'Rourke in the breast. SooT
thereafter the drayman started with Kane tc
the police court, to deliver him up as prisoner
but had got no further than ten feet from thu
house, when O'Rourke, approaching his en-
envy from behind, first struck and afterward
kicked him severely.
Before Justice Barrett yesterday the hearin!
came I'D, Kane was bound over in the sun
of $500 for attempt to kill and ORourke, TO
assault and battery. was required to deposi

Think a Minute. First.

Apropos of the sayings of the little
ones, am reminded Of an incident which
touched me very much at the time, and
may find a responsive chord in the hearts
Of some who are parents. was sitting
on my porch on pleasant summer morn
ing, when up rims little Belle, intent on
a visit to little playmate across the way.
Papa" she asks, "may 90 over and
play with Carrie awhile2" and then, as
If she seemed to discern dissent in my
face, she put her little rosebud lips close
to mine and quickly added, Please don t
say no; think minute, first" Was
there ever more charming protest
against a hasty and inconsiderate answer
OF course, the little girl had her wish.
We are perhaps all too ready thoughtless-
ly to deny many Of the little ones things
that seem trifing to us, but are every
thing to them And when their little ap-
peals come, before letting the mo" rise
too quickly to our lips, let us think a
minute.-Harper'S Magazine.
