Death OF Preston Scott.

A shade of sadness was thrown over the
city yesterday at the untimely, though not al
together unexpected, death Of Mr.. Preston
Scott. "Pres" Scott, as he was popularity
known hereabouts, was one of the pioneers Of
Montana, having immigrated to the Territory
upwards Of fifteen years ago. Like all other
old timers he had his ups and downs finan-
ciallv, but bis reputation remained always
unassailed and unassailable. He has been a
leading citizen in Butte for many wears, and
. prominent member Of the Masonic brother
hood. HIS age was in the neighborhood of
40 years. The disease that terminated his life
was pneumonia, which, Notwithstanding the
native vigor of his constitution, he was una
BILE to overcome, gradually wasting away I'M
til bis spirit fed before the fell destroyer.
In the death of Preston Scott Butte loses a
loyal and upright citizen, a man who has
lived a life of industry and usefulness, and
who goes to his long account to the seeE
regret of many earnest friends. He leaves 8
widow, to whom the public tenders its sincere
sympathy.

PHILIPsBURG MINING .v,rr


One of the most important MINING sp;t.
ever trled IN this Territory is that which came
up for hearing during the term of court lust
closed at Deer Lodge, entitled j. K. Pardse
vs.. Murray, Durfee ct al, for trespass. From
a letter received from Deer Lodge yesterday
we gam the following information in relation
to the case -
In March, 1870, J. X. Pardee, of the Alson-
gum Mining company, pun chased of Holland
q Estlll two mines, located about 1867. and
known As the Cliff Extension and the Salmon.
III the early part of 1875, Messrs. Murray &
Duflee discovered and sunk a shaft on q cross
vein known as the Scratch Awl running east
erly and westerly and intersecting ths Salmon
claim nearly at right angles. They also ran
atunnel, called the Sharktown, 800 feet long,
tapping the same ledge at a depth of 200 feet.
Plaintiff, alleging the belief that the Scratch
AWi, at its intersection, was within the walls
OF the Salmon and was not Of itself a sepa-
rate and distinct ledge with defined walls Of
its own, brought suit for trespass. About
thirty witnesses were examined, the trial
Sep rs III Ill bWSlNC tayS dlttJ liz Jury
had returned from their trip to the ground in
dispute. Able expert testimony was elected
and some of tho mos astute lawyers in the
Territory were engaged to conduct the case.
On last Friday the arguments closed and the
case went to the jury on Saturday evenn g
after the instructions had bean given. The
verdict was rendered about s O'Clock p. m, in
favor Of the plaintiff who was awarded 81
damages and all that section of the ground
comprised within the walls of the Salmon
extending from what was known in the trial
as the blue limestone seam, az shown IN the
Sharktown tunnel, eastward to the granite
hanging wall, so far as explorations show
about 1G5 feet. This decision gives to Mr.
Pardee the most valuable section according
to present developments, in the Scratch Aw.
vein, a large amount Of high grade ore being
exposed in the various workings of the latter
mine. 1t is highly probable that the cast
will be appealed to a higher court.

Matters and Things at the End OF b

Editor Butte MINER:
The terminus town at present is quite re-
markable for its bushes inactivity. On all
sides merchants are complaining, but think
there's a good time coming" Most of the
freighters are now on their first trip. Upon
their return they will "start the ball roll
ing"
The through passenger train arrives at about
$3.50 p. IN. and departs at l2:45 daily.
i Our town officials are making things lively
for the boys. The test case, The Railway Co.
VS.. Chas. Hawkes., proprietor of the Valley
House, attracted a great deal Of attention,
| the complaint being that Hawkes. and his
agents had disturbed the peace by loud calling
and soliciting, on the platform of said r. W.
Co., all of which was contrary, etc. The de-
PENDANT requested a jury trial and the verdict
was " not guilty.
"Broncho BILL who has made himself
quite notorious along the line, and won the
name of a "bad man," came down from Ar
genta, where he had been spending a few
months of quiet, and having imbioed too
much "red-eye,'' with several boon compan-
IONS, the result was a playful encounter with
one Of them in which the b. C. came off sec
ond best, Broncho William having bitten his
lower lip nearly of, leaving it hang by one
corner and then, mounting his horse, rode
slowly of, but returned in about all hour and
gave himself up. Jas. Sullivan, the victim.
(who by the way, came dow from Glendale
about two months since in search of bonds,
msn) WAS taken to DR.. Cutters office ans
the injured part was sewed in place. Judge
Warren required the prisoner to give bond'
to the amount Of $1,000 to appear before thu
grand jury, and William, after partaking of
hearty supper at the expense of the county
concluded Bannack had no charms for him
and started into the hills in search Of bond
men, since when the officials have failed t
discover his whereabouts.
Tn forwarding houses are evidently doin
a fine business, their warehouses and plat

Editor Butte MINER:
In my last l said we had plenty of snow,

we'll, the snow is now zone, and We have cir
culated around q little. / have seen some
mines and ore from others. So far | have
seen no good milling ore, but fine qualities of

a bonanza about six miles from town. The
ore is galena ard runs by fire assay from $50
to 800 ounces per ton in silver, and so to 90
per cent. in lead. The line 10 located on the
north side of the east fork of Wood River, is
in q slate formation, has one wall Of porphory.
The vein on the surface is at least one hun
bred feet wide at the discovery. Thu lode
lies quite flat, probably at an incline Of not
more than twenty degrees. l visited the mine
this morning and took samples Of the various
kinds of ore. Some strata carry fine chic

ors in every direction are stampeding to-day

have already been taken up, the writer stalking
out one of them. The location is easy OF
