The snow is yet too deep in the First
Chance and Wallace districts to render pros
pecting possible. Mr.. j. G.. Rainsford. who
just returned from that section of the Terri
tory, states that the tlakey element Is from
four (" seven feet deep. The mines which
have been in process Of development during
the past winter, Mr.. Rainsfold regards as very
promising. ......
Mr.. McGregor yesterday committed an
assault on the person of a maj named McLin
whose eye he banged. The exercise was ex-
hilarating hut costly. a fine Of ten dollars and
costs being the amount assessed as damages.
Dir. McLIn was also arrested for conducting
offensive operations on the coupienanre of

showed thai the latter was the first to declare
hostilitics.
-Four well-kiuwn citizens of Butte created
quite a sensation on the street yesterday by
appearing in brand new plug hats of imposing
dimensions. The vigilance committee made
ready for decisive action, but before any blood
was shed the offenders had invited the crowd
to 'take something damp" and by thus appeas-
ing the popular wrath were enabled to reach
home safe, whence they soon appeared in
civilized costume.

stamps for the new Alice mill, about 20 feet
more grading will be required. All the men
necessary for this purpose have been employ

teemed fellow 1ownsnan. Nh. w. II. Young,

Friends of the family ale invited to attend
the funeral, to take place Friday, the 4th

1t is reported on good authority that Mr..
Milo CourtwriSht is contemplating the erec-
ton of a mill in the Boulder district. This
gentleman went to that section from Helena
yesterday, with = view, it IS believed, of ex-
aiming the prospects of the country. The
Boulder mines ought certainly TO produce
enough ore to keep a mill i'll operation, and
it is quite likely that several will be erected
during the coming season.
Mr.. Beaucaire, who is about to establish
himself in the wholesale cigar trade at Butte,
was agree2bly convinced in a tour recently
made to various Montana towns, that this
Territory offers a fine opening for the business
in question. Although coming .'betwsen
seasons" that is, after the spring trade had
been supplied and before the fall trade had
set in, he nevertheless disposed of 10000
cigars in the course of a few days. But then
there is always a market in Montana for a
good article.
