BIltte's New Mayor.

Concerning our new executive the Ne,g
NORTH West, of yesterday, contains the fol-
lowing timely remarks. A vague suspicion
that Mr.. Walton "will be mayor as our
contemporary puts it, is beginning to pervade
in certain quarters hereabouts, 1t is said:
Mr H. &. Walton, the newly elected s:Lord
Mayor of Butte, dropped into town few
days ago and was heartily congratulated BY
his many friends here on his civic preferment
Mr.. Walton will make good mayor and he
will be mayor. There will be no power

made. The Board of Aldermen is good, too.
and altogether there is fair prospect that the
city government will be satisfactorily admin
is.ered during the coming year.

SIR: The Gregory lode is one of the first
discoveries made in this Territory. The
mine was located many years ago by some
Colorado prospectors, and is situated in the
Colorado Mining District, Jefferson county.
1t has been favorably known for the past
fifteen years.
Like all other mines of similar character,
located in the early days Of Montana, it did
not come into prominence until some five
years ago. Since the reduction in freights
and prices of labor and material, work has
been prosecuted with considerable vigor, and
the output of ore has been quite large. The
ore is an argentiferOus galena, carrying fab
lerz in considerable quantities. The ore av-
eraged in value from the surface to the 200
foot level Sl45 in gold, silver, and lead.
Below this level, there is marked enrich
ment in silver conte nts.
The mine has been worked to depth of
