The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-03-16

Last night the Centennial Hotel parlor was
the scene OF a very pleasant affair, Miss Ella
Viola, of the Sawtelle troupe, being the re-
cipient of a handsome set of gold bracelets,
from her legion admirers of the Silver City.
Mr.. John f. Forbis, in touching and expressive
that the gift was made as a slight testimonial
of the esteem in which she was held as a
lady of many virtues and accomplishments.
Miss Ella gracefully accepted the gift, thank
ing her friends for the interest manifested
and assuring the company that she would
never forget the Silver City nor its excellent
and good looking young men.

An Evidence OF Growth.

Perhaps the best evidence of the unexam-
pied rapidity of the growth Of the Silver City
is found in the increase of taxation during
the past twelve months. The law provides
for the support of the fire department, that
one mill on each dollar assessed against shall
be devoted to the fire brigade. For the year
1878 the fire company received 1852, that
being the mount adjudged due them from
the tax receipts on city property. For the
year 1879 the amount of municipal taxes
awarded to the fire company advanced to
5 ,O54, which shows at what a remarkable
rate the property valuation is inceasing. This
amount has just been paid to the treasurer Of
the fire company, Mr.. McMurphey, Who has
RENTED $1,000 on account Of the engine,
Notwithstanding the fact that the amount was
not, according to contract, due until next
year. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
fire company, which is a public institution of
the utmost value, will soon be entirely free
from debt, and that it will soon be fully
| equipped with all necessary fire apparatus.

A RICH STRIKE IN THE PARK.
The Kennedy Property Yielding q Big
Harvest.

A valuable property is the Park mine, on
the divide separating the rich auriferous
gulches of Grizzly and Nelson, four miles
northwest of Helena. Next to the Union
mine the several claims along this lead have
produced more gold than any mine of its
character within the district. The luckiest
owner on the property is probably George S.
Kennedy, who recently struck a large body
of ore of the average value of s75 per ton.
He has steam hosting power, which operates
to drain the mine and lifts the auriferous rock
to the surface. We learn from parties down
from the Park that in a comparatively short
time 200 or more tons Of ore will be ont and
ready for treatment at the mill. The pros
poets are that Mr.. Kennedy will realize from
Sl5, 900 to $4,000 from the mine within the
next ninety days. The good fortune will
strike the average citizen as especially de-
served in view of the ''grit" displayed by
George amid discouragements and embarrass-
ments encountered a year ago. May the bo-
nanza bring him a million before he is done
with it.-Ierdld.

Good Assays.

The following assays of several gold leads
owned by John Murphy 4 Co., situated at the
head of jefferson, were recently made by
Charles Rumley, Asssayer:
SAMPLES OF ORE
Fair View mine.-No. $40 F.; gold, SS7.37
McClellan.-No. S741; gold, $l32.63 per
ton. ~ -e,oos o 49,.
Lone Man.-No. S742 gold,Sl23,59 per
ton.
Messrs. Murphy q Co. are now putting up
A fiye-stamp mill, with capacity for twenty
stamps, and within sixty days will have it in
full blast. Mr.. Murphy, who was in the city
to-day, feels ~jubilant overthe prospect thai
is 50 inviting" And well he may feel SO, as
lie and his partners are pretty certain to make
,,s;r fortunes out of these mines. The as
saws sneak for themselves.-Heraid.

DR.. Del.

A dispatch received yesterday by Deputy
leriff Owens from Under Sheriff Lou =.
nith who on last Wednesday left here in
Insult Of the alleged Dr.. Del, states that al
a very rough. trip he arrived at the termi-
is but that Del had either eluded the vigi-
nce of the officers there or had been llber-
led Oh a writ of habeas corpus. Mr.. Smith
ated his belief, however, that the DR.. (O
ad not left the town and that his capture
las quite probable. The team which he
polk OH his departure from Butte, Mr.. Vail
pm found at Red Rock, as the skedaddler On
ccount Of the deep o could not pass that
pint. AS there is a probability that he may
e able to effect an escape we append a brief
e%scription of his personal appearance. dc
! fully six feet high and exceedingly slim,
pmplexiom light, face long and sallow and
overed with a beard tinged with gray.
FEARS speclacles and has a blear watery eye
ptally destitute Of expression =; usually wears
long ulster over coat and invariably carries a
eavy brown cane ; has a strong German az
ent and like the Chinaman loses all knowi-
dge of the English language when occasion
%equlres. He is. a smooth Ephriam and a
ard case and his "racket" is to make all he can
nd pay nothing. In several Utah towns he
ettled as he did in Butte--contracted several
pills and skipped.

From Saturdays Daily.


A Meagller county correspondent OF the

airy goth, says: 'Mr. T. Linten, who has been
below on a six weeks hunt, states that him.

shell hunting for the 500 head of sheep he
lost some time ago in ii storm, had very poor
s,ccess. He hired Linten, "a herder and we'll

diligently for ten days and only found sixteen

The Effect Oh Cattle.

A well grounded apprehension exists that
the severity OF the weather yesterday and
last night will prove fatal to a large num-
Der of cattle, and especially those grazing in
the Deer Lodge valley. The present winter,
by reason of its length and the deep SHOWS
which have fallen, has been exceptionally
hard on cattle, hut though thus far no heavy
losses lave occurred, they are reduced in flesh
to such an extent that it is feared the bitterly
cold snap which set in yesterday will be at
tended with serious results.

From Fridays Daily.l
A NEW MINING COMPANY.


During the last few days of February there
was organized in New York another company
for the purpose of developing and dealing in
mines. As Mr.. Joseph B. Meader, of the
Montana Copper Company OF New York,
figures as one of the directors, of the new
organization, there is every probability that
some of its capital will be invested in this
district, and from private sources we have
already ascertained that at least two mines of
the Summit Valley district are likely to pass
into its control. 1t IS known as the North
American Mining and Developing Company,
its principal office being at 81 Broadway, New
York. The capital is ST. OO,O 900, divided INTO
10000 shares, with a par value of $25 per
share. Twelve thousand shares are now
offered to the public for subscription at par.
The subscription books were opened in New
York OH the first inst. Among the directors
we note the following we'll known names.
which are sufficient to prove that whatever
the company undertakes will be carried to a
successful issue if within the bounds of posi-
bility:
Leverett Saltonstall, Boston; Vim. r. Gar
rlson, President of the Elevated Railroad
Company, New York; Thomas Ii. Perkins,
banker, Boston; p. l.. Everett, President of
the Third National Bank, Boston,; G. W.
Warren, N. Y. Life Insurance Company l.
G. Babcock, Treasurer Adams Express Com
pany, New York; Congressman Milton Say
Ter, Ohio; Jos. B. Meader, Montana, and a
large number of other wealthy and influential
men. The operations of the company will
rot be confined to any particular section of
the country, but wherever a god mine is to
be purchased, it will be secured and devel-
oped. Mr.. Jos. b. Meader being one of the
directors a considerable amount of the capital
of the organization will be invested in this
district. In No part of the West is there a
better prospect gifts being returned with
interest.

Those Lo Is.

The jumping or relocating OF certain lots
on lower Park street, of which mention was
made in yesterdays MINER, bids fair to create
something more than mere street talk or To-
cal excitement, as the property involved is
valued at several thousand dollars. Yesterday
a large force of men were engaged in the
erection of buildings upon the disputed lots,
and that a settlement of the affair can only
be had through a court of justice, is a fore
gone conclusion.
