Editor Butte MINER.
The session Of congress beginning to-day
will not lack for I~on-political subjects for
work and debate. From esent appearances
these rather than partisan affairs will have
attention. Aside from the appropriation
bills, which are III a great measure the same
from year TO year, it IS probable the refund
ing bill, the reapportienment, and the bill
changing the system Of acting on pension
CLAIMS, will most certainly be acted on and
most fully discussed. a few words about
them may not be out Of place.
The pension bill proposes to have testi-
mcny in support Of claims taken as nearly rs
may be in the Deighborhood Of the claimants
residence, and that it be taken before a gov
ernment officer. This, it is urged, will do
way with the liability Of fraud which is sup
pOsed TO be almost unavoidable when claims
are decided upon e" purte evidence. The
two objections urged against the measure are:
/. That the witnesses are go much scattered
now that the claimants will be unable
to get them together without unreason-
able expense to himself; and, :. That the GX-
pensa 10 the government will DE greater than
now. The bill haS been several imes defeat
vi, but | tank Viii pass at the next session.
The ~letuHuin% bill Of Hon. Fernando
wood, already before congress, provides for
d lnree and Il i.alf per cent. bond with winch
to retire the seven hundred millions Of five
and SIX per cent. bonds which the govern
urnt has the option of paying next year
When Mr.. Woods bill was presented Secre-
tary Sherman opposed it, as he thought a
bond bearing less lltan four per cent. could
not tie sold AT par. lie now thinks three and
a half per cent. enough, and Ar. Wood is
said 10 ptlryc thee per cent. ample.
Tie re apporionlnent bill will, think, be
passed at this session il the figures Of popI-
)ation are furnished IL time by the superin-
truGent If the census. More state leSlsla-
lures will be in session now or will be III
time to redistrict their states, if The reap
puriiolmcnt is made at once, thai will

Her PAGES,

On Tuesday the new Alice mill, the largest
in the world, was started into operation to as
certain if everything was in proper running
order. Ten tons of low grade ore were put
through the rock breakers and to-day will be
stamped Inc roasted. Every portion of the
machinery of the huge concern worked to
the fullest satisfaction of superintendent
Hall and after treating a small amount Of
low grade rock to get the machinery in
"practice," as Mi. Hall calls it, the mill will
be regularly started up and thereafter kept
in continuous operation. Now let the Butte
boom hit us. We are not afraid of the show
ing we can make.

THE MINES.

ANChLuOs
Lessee Lacaff is displaying commendable
energy in developing this property. The old
shaft is being sunk night and day, and has
attained a depth Of ITO feet. The sinking of
the new shaft also is being vigorously prose-
cuted, and the men are now working 100 feet
from the surface. The two were connected
several weeks ago by the 7o-foot level, and
within the past few days the 100-foot running
east from the old incline has broken through.
Each of these levels Is run on the vein,which
varies from two to three feet in the upper one
and from three to six feet in the lower one,
and as very little stopping has yet been done,
there is a large amount of ore in sight and
available for extraction. The 70-foot drift
running west from the new shaft has attained
a length of SO feet, and is yielding a consid.
cradle amount OF ore Of excellent grade.
The ore lies on the foot wall, the vein dipping
south, and is nearly two feet wide, compact
and clean. Mr.. Lacaff employs about 20
men, and is undoubtedly reaping the reward
of his enterprise and foresight.

the south or main vein a drift has been started

with a view to prospect the ledge more than

not likely that any attempt will be made a,

commonly known rs the Silversm'th lode,
situated Immediately north Of and adjoining
the Frank Moulton lode. This suit was
commenced last Monday, when the jury wa 5
emmlnelled. The case proceeded through
the examination of almost innnmerabie wit
nesses on the part Of the plaintiffs, when Il
motion to-day was made on the part Of the
defense for non suit, on the ground that the
plaintiffs had not, in the evidence submitted,
established the existence Of wall rock III &C
cordance with local laws governing locations.
The attention of the court has been occupied
most Of the day in hearing arguments pro
and con on the part OF eminent counsel
r'oole and Spratt q Stapleton for the PLAN
tits, and Forbis, KNOWLES and Nap!on on the
part Of the defense, during which several l-
gal and argumentatjye tii,s occurred.
The result was the overrullng Of the mo

A writer in the Voltoire, who signs
himself Gun Russo" paints deplora-
BILE picture of the terrors by which the
Gar is haunted and of the precautions
taken to secure his person from injury.
At one time the Emperor of All the
Russias was in the habit of wearing a
coat of mail, very delicate and supple,
but, unable to endure the weight, he
has abandoned this ark of safety. His
uniforms, however, specially prepared,
and are said to be stepped in particu-
lar wash which renders them bullet
proof. The carriages and sledges used
by the monarch are also plated with
iron, and such is the mysterious secrecy
with which he is surrounded that even
the most trusted policemen are ignorant
half an hour beforehand in what drec-
ton he is going. The cook is watched
at his work by two special employees,
and the kitchen door is guarded by two
sentinels. The viands are tasted by ex-
perts, and only offered to the Gar
when they are convinced that no poison
is lurking in them. Fond as he is of
good cigar, the Emperor is obliged, from
similar motives of prudence, to forego
the pleasures of smoking. Such is said
to be the life of the greatest autocrat in
the world, who must now and then
envy the lot even of the meanest of his
subjects.

American Grain in Russia,

We are not the only people affected
by American competition. The Rus
slams are complaining deeplyof it. For
them and the Yankees for the suprcma-
cy of the European corn trade has been
n severe one, but now the Americans
have SO far developed their strength
that they have actually had the audacity
to carry corn to Odessa, which is just
as aggravating as we should find it if
they commenced to ship coal to New
castle. A few days ago an American
vessel is reported to have touched at
Odessa with a cargo of corn for the
famine-stricken people in the Caucasus.
One would have thought that, as corn
is as plentiful us dirt in the interior of
Russia, it would have been cheaper to
have exported the grain from Odessa,
instead of bringing it all the way
across the Atlantic. But this does not
appear to be the case. Thanks to the
corrupt system of substituting the rail-
ways of Russia and the steamboat COM
munication in the Black Sea, the
freights charged are SO excessive that
the merchants at Tidis find it cheaper
to bring over corn from America.
During last autumn the provincial pa
pers of Russia frequently complained
that thousands of tons of corn were
rotting alongside the Southern railways,
owing to the absence of proper grana-
rics to protect it from the weather and
the inadequacy of the rolling-stock to
transport it to the sea. AS an instance
of the badness of Russian railway or
ganization, the Odessa Prada men-
toned that, owing to the goods station
OF the Odessa Railway being situated
mile and half from the export quay,
the cost OF conveying the corn in
wagons from the trucks to the foreign
steamers was heavier than the carriage
of the grain all the way from Odessa to
standardization Examiner.

was recently interviewed by reporter
of the Chicago Times We quote from
the account of the conversation:
rs it possible to interview an army of
feer on the political situati ion2" was the
first question asked of the General.
"No, sir we take no part in political
affairs, and cannot be made to talk pol.
itics," replied the General.
AS I supposed" remarked the scribe,
"and have called upon you for an en-.
tirely different purpose. l wish to know
whether you are aware Of Gen. Han.
cocks alleged practice of eating soldier
for breakfast every morning, and what
truth there is in the statement that he is
habitually overbearing in the treatment
of those under him?"
"Any s'ories to this effect are simply
trumped up lies" replied the General. l
have known Gen. Hancock for the past
thirty years, and better soldier or kin.
der hearted man have never met"
What do you think Of his alleged in.
competency as a military mani"
"There is not soldier walks the earth
with better military record than Gen.
Hancock. l have never before heard
that anything had been said against
him. The opinion among army men,
from Gen. Sherman down, of General
Hancock, is the opinion held by me. He
is one of the best men and soldiers the
country has ever produced"
We give these because they will not
