The ENTERPRISE AND CHRONICLES TELB-
CHAINS. The Maine unpleasantness is causing
lots of fun for the readers of ,hc Enterprise
and Chronicle. Of course all the dispatches
which come after clock reach the Enter
prise anu are copied in the Chronicle next day
while all that come in the day time reach the
Chronicle first and are copied into the Enter
prize. The Chronicle heads its dispatches
something like this:
More Republican Villianes. - Hellish
Plot to Overthrow the STATE Government -
The Sack in Circulation. "A Sad Pic ule of
Radical Rottenness.
Then the Enterprise comes to the front the
next morning with the same dispatches head
ed:
Democratic Diaboli,m-A Unionist Plot
Exposed Their Per iursrs to tho Fare-A
Foul Conspiracy Unesrthed."
A very funny thing occurred the other dav.
A dispatch reached the Chronicle which stated
that Blaine was Frustrated from overwork.
After the word "ovsrwork" the Chronicle man
interpolated "(carryiDg the sack)', and the
next day the Enterprise run the same di-patch
with the same peculiar Interpolation, minus
the parentheses, which contrasted very singu-
lary with the head lines endorsing Blaine

IHE MINING BILL,

Some w. or three weeks ago We We're in
formed by a Washington dispatch That a sub
stitutc for the "sIuare location BILL had
been iayOrably considered hN Ire Pacific Coast
members OF Ike HOusr, and thai its final en-
actnent this session Was considered probable.
At the tim: We wee left i'll ignorance respect
ing the nature or provisions Of this substitute,
but this Knowledge las lately been furnished
in a communicates from the Hon. Martin
Masinnis to some Of the prominent miners of
Butte, aud thus enlightened, it is the opinion
of those well qualified judge, that the substi-
tute, instead of being an improvement, is
decidedly more Objectionable than the origi-
ual bill. The original had at lie st the merit

view. If a ledge was always found to be en-.
closed between well-defned, strictly parable
walls, and to descend into the earth in all
un,arylng direction, it would be possible,
then, but still not without Considerable
trouble, to ascertain the angle of its pitch OF
dip. But as lodges are actually met with
how is the " average dip" to be ascertaincd ?
Where the walls are broken, or where the
change from ore into ~unproductive quartz and
from that to porphyry is very gradual, upon
what system of examination is the dip to be
ascertained with the mathematical accuracy
implied in the law which allows the original
locator to follow the ore beyond his side line
if fhe angle with the horizon be twenty. six
degrees, but prohibits him from passing that
line if this angle be twenty-tour degrees?
Or again, how deep must the observations be
conducted in order to ascertain the average
dip?' For the pitch oi q ledge to vary as the
ledge gains depth is the rule, to remain UNI
changed the exception. In cases then where
the angle made with the horizon is sometimes
greater, at Others less than twenty-five de-
grees, it will be understood that great difficult
ty will be experienced in ascertaining the
true average dip. And this must be learned,
if justice is to be lone between the owner of
the original location, claiming under the old
law the right to follow the lode beyond the
side line Of his surface claim. and the owner
of the adjoining location nilo, under the new
law, will claim the ledge as soon as it crosses
that line. In such cases the application of
such a law would present great difficulty even
where all parties concerned were DESTROYS of
having justice done; but this, unfortunately,
would not be the unvarying experience. On
the contrary it may be accepted as certain
that in every case of location of a valuable
mine, in which the ledge pitched at any con-
siderable angie with the vertical plane, the
locator could look forward to legal complica-
tions with the owners OF the side Claim,
whose location would be made merely to gi7e
them II chance of making a raid on his prop
erty under the forms of law.
The small amount of litigation to which
the Interpretation or applica' ion of the min
ing law now in force has given rise has often
been the subject of comment by the miner,
well pleased to have OCCASION for thus COM
mehting. Measured by this standard, the
law is certainly a most admirable one as it
stands but it requires no special knowledge
of mining to perceive that the proposed law,
if enacted, will speedily make for Itself a
different record. TO those distr. cts of Mon
tana i'll which the country rock is granite aud
where the lodges all pitch at II large angle
with the horizon, the new act would not apply
but i'll the Trappcr mines, as well as in all
less confusion would inevitably result from
its operation. 1t will be an unfortunate day
for the mining interest when this act becomes
law.

EARLY MONTANA.

The term "tenderfoot' originated in Mon

Mountains, who We're generally pilgrims who
had followed an oX-team into the county.
In return, the Tenderteet called Pacific Coast
people "Other Siders." The same terms of
distinction are in use in LeadvilIe now Tie

Montana, and, as they hated the Other Sllers
cordially, one of the latter had IA poor show

ticular angle as the arbitrary division be-
tween one class OF mines to which the new
law will apply and another class of mines to
which it will not apply. The angle must be
asceytainsd with mathematical precision, and
this, in anything 50 difficult to determine as
the exact dip of a ledge, is practically an inn
possibility. If the law can be so modified
that its application may be determined by To-
cality, this objection will be obviated. If it
could be made to apply to Leadviile and all
other districts knownto contain either blanket
cd IS or amorphous bodies of ore, and not to
apply to deep lode districts, then no complaint
would be heard no injurious effect on the
mining interest would be noticeable. As for
districts vet to be discovered it might be left
to the miners in those districts to decide un-
der which law their locations should be made.

The Coming Year at Kingsley
Seminary.

M. Ed{tor:
AS times are not very newsy in this
section now, | will give you II brief
sketch of Kingsley Seminary. feeling
that the schools and colleges of our coun-
try should have the sympathy and hear
ty cooperation Of every citizen, and of
every well wisher of the prosperity of
our country and nation.
The fourth session of Kingsley Semi
mary opened the 2nd inst. with good
ly number. The prospects are very fiat
ering for large attendance and Il pros
porous year. The dormitories are all
crowded and quite q number boarding
in private families. This Seminary un-
der the control of Prof. Joseph II. Ket-
ron, is destined to become great pow
er and brilliant light in upper E. Tenn.
The Prof. is Il man of unblemished NOR
al character, inlleXible principles, thor
ough educator, and rare executive abil-
ty as teacher. 1t has been said, and
truthfully said, too, that he does more
than any other man in the whole coun-
try towards advancing the interests of
the people, and the upDuilding of the
country. He invariably carries sun
shine in his face and frindship in his
heart.
Miss Matte Mason, A. b., of Louden
Tenn, has charge of the music depart
ment. She is an accomplished lady and
gives entire satisfaction.
Those who desire quiet peaceful ru-
raj retreat to attend school and make it
a success will find at the Seminary a
hearty welcome, kind friends, and n
lovely home. Very truly yours,
AN OBSERVER.
