There Is strong probability Of getting u

Vile II is almost direct line and will
open up mail facilities to quite II large mum.
Der Of people, Ms there are several small
towns on the line that have now no post
office, and cannot get even weekly mails
now. Several Of these parties say they
would take the weekly or daily HERALD, but
they can't get them unless this route is es,
tablshed. We hope Colonel Wel(born win

The Electric Light.

W. yesterday had the pleasure of meeting
at the Alice hosting works Mr.. c. q. Ruth
rauff, agent for the Brush Electric Light.
The gentleman at the time was busiIy ell
gagged in directing the placing of a 20 horse
power engine with which he proposes to run
the machine to generate the electricity. This
machine is a rather singular yet simple look
ing continuance and is called the Brush Dy-
namo Electric Machine. Steam power for
running the engine will be furnished by the
hosting works.
There will be either thirteen or fourteen
lights in all, by which it is claimed the sur.
~roundings of the mines and mills Will he illu
minated at night with a b%rilliancy almost
equal to that of the sun. One Of the lights
will be placed on the outside of each mill
and if necessary others will be placed OH
poles. The apparatus will be in running or
der this evening and it is likely that not q
few of our citizens will take advantage of the
opportunity to witness the new methed Of illu-
mination that is in a fair way to drive to dis
traction the gas companies and oil merchants
of the whole world.

increase OF taxation, and for the benefit(?> of
our friends In Deer Lodge who are trying to
MANI a case against the well-advised project

ngures, OF the correctness of which I chal-
lenge contradiction. Nevertheless these fig
ures' convincing as they are, are only d drop

Inc evidence which will he brought to bear at
a proper time in furtherance Of our unholy
and selfish designs upon the present peace and
prosperity of this "imperial county,"
Mileage from Butte to the county seat
VIII, lntwoyears, if saved, amount to sufficient
to build all the necessary county buildings.
we have at Deer Lodge three terms of the
district court each year. On an average there
are 10 prisoners. Cost of transportation at
$50 each would be $40. This expense three
terms per year would be $1,62O. An
average of three witnesses to each case
amounts to $45 per term or $l35 per year. At
$lo each for mileage the total is So. 100. One
hundred and fifty jurors for the year at SIG each
ioots up S2,4OO, making the total mileage for
the year $G,lS0, which amount would be saved
to the tax payers after the organization of a
new county. This does not include the mile
age or officers in serving ~subpenas and ju-
ror summonses, which would make a total of
$9,ooo per year, that with a new county would
be saved.

Cazad Dead.

A letter was received in Butte OH Monday
from Denver, Colorado, in which it is stated
that Cazad, the foot racer, who, it will be re-
membered, achieved considerable no,oriety
in Butte last summer by the practice of one
of his little games on the boys, was shot and
killed by a Denver sport. 1t appears that Ca
Fad had entered into a match race of 50
yards with a man whom he knew he could
defeat, and, on the strength ofthis knowledge,
he induced a friend to back him to
the extent of $4,000. At the same
time he entered into a counter plot
to lose the race to his opponent by affecting
to be taken ill at the 40-yard post. Cazad's
first hacker got wind of the job, and when
the race came off was stationed at the point
where the flyer was to stumble and fall. The
'go' was given and Cazad had eve rything his
own way for the first forty yards, when he
suddenly placed his hand OH his side as
though attacked by a cramp and fell to the
ground. He was not allowed to get up.
With a muttered curse the man who had
staked $4,000 OIL Cazsd's honesty rushed for
ward aud shot him dead as he lay on the
ground. The shootist then gave himself up
to the authorities and Cazad was laid in his
final resting place.
1t is to be hoped that the moral of this i'll
cident will not be lost on the foot racers who
are now congresated in Montana and who

ACQUISITION.

The new double compartmenteshaft is now
80 feet deep. When it reaches water level a
pump capable of throwing 5000 gallons per
hour will be placed III position, and the exas-
perating delays which have SO seriously in
terfered with the work in the other shafts,
owing to the volume of water encountered,
are not likely to occur. The slopes Of the TO-
foot level, in winch the ledge is from five to
eight feet wide, are yielding six tons of ore
daily, of which the average value is $500.
This stope is expected to produce enough ore
to pay all the expenses of purchasing pump
ing and hosting machinery for the new shaft
and also for the sinking of the same. The
ore is being reduced at the Colorado works.

Accident.

In the west drift of the Mountain Boy
mine yesterday a man named Andy johnson
met with a somewhat painful accident which
came near resulting fatally. johnson was
engaged in putting in a stull, when a mass of
rock weighing about 500 pounds became dis
lodged and fell, striking him in the back and
infict'ng a somewhat painful injury. For
tunately the rock had not far to fall, other
wise the result would have been far more
serious. The injured man promises to be
around again in a few DAYS.

Active inquiry among democrats in this
city fails to develop one of any prominence
who puts any confidence in the wretched talk
Of refusing to count the electoral vote of New
York. The proceedings of the two houses
will be exactly the same as if Garfield had
received the votes in all the states. He will
be declared elected, and will be inaugurated
without a murmur Of dissent. 1t is not uE-
likely that resolutions of inquiry as to events
connected with the votes of several states will
be submitted in the house or senate, but not
with any idea that the regular proceedings in
cident to Garield's assumption of the presi-
dental office shall be affected.
or suggesting cabinet officers for President
Garfield there is no end, but l find no one
who says he has talked with that gentleman
on the subject, and very few who believe any
pledges have been made. As to the 'policy"
of the administration there is equal fuency
OF suggestion anu equal absence of alleged
declarations of the future president. 1t is
generally believed that the inaugural will he
written with a view of attracting mems minds
to other subjects than the southern cues
or to impress upon us all the fact that that
particular subject is not a desirable one for
parties to divide upon.
OF the four supreme court iud yes who, it
is thought, will soon retire, one Judge Cliff
ford) is from New England. If Judge Cliff
ford should quit the bench before March 4th,
next, there is no doubt the President would
appoint Attorney General Deyans to the po-
sition, but if Judge Hunt, of New York, or
either of the other two infirm Judges should
create a vacancy, it is thought the influence
brought TO bear on the President would be
sufficient to secure a successor from the same
state as the retiring official. The attorney
general is known to desire the appointment.
There will be the usual batch Of contested
seats before the lieNt house. Virginia will
furnish at least ouc ontes in the Richmond
district. John S. Wise will have 4 very good
ground for contest in the refusal to receive
votes from men who paid poll tax to the
deputy lax collector appointed by Auditor
Massey.
South Carolina will have three contests if
the republicans organize the house.
John Il. Lynch will contest Chalmers from
the sixth district OF Mississippi, and will
probably be successful. kNoN.
