A SUCCESSFUL COMPANY.
The Hecla Company's Mining Oper
tions at Lion City and
Glendale.

The Hecla Consolidated Mining Company
paid off it's entire force on The goth for the
month of August. The sum Of S52. 900 was
paid to $50 men.
James Parfet, the energetic superintendent
of the Hecla mines at Lion City, is still fur.
!nishing with ores daily the full amount of ore
called for the Srnelter at Glendale, and he
expects to furnish all the ore necessary to
keep both furnaces running to their full ca
pacity the whole of the coming winter.
The improvements necessary at tie III mes
for winter protection are fast reaching COM
pletlol. The new boarding house at the
Cleopatra mine, nearly $4,000 feet above sea
ieVei, Is ready for occupancy, and some thirty
or forty men will board at this house. The
new t'amway-shed for the Cleopatra tramway
some 300 feet long and 30 by 10 fee, high,
will be finished this month. Ore from This
mine will be delivered to the wagons in the
fiat near the Office the year round. The
Cleopatra mine is producing daily about fifty
t"ls of first class ore, and all this, 80 far, has
come from late developments. There is now
enough ore developed in The Cleopatra mine
alone to keep both furnaces ug for two
years.
The Fissure mine is developing we /. If
the men could be had, the company could
put one hundred men on pay ore in this
mine alone, instead of forty men as they
have now.
The old Atlantis mine is again coming to
the front. The finds made in the mine last
week promise large results in the hear fn-
tnre. The daily ore -prohuct from the Allan
It's is from ten to fifteen tons of fir ST. class
ore. 'n ".' ..
The John Thomas mile shows a six inch
seam of Uray pnnDar vaIyy Yipl pn tba Mot
tom of a three-foot vein of ore. This mlne,
in the years to come, will prove ole of the
boss mines of the Hecla company. The fur
naces OF the Hecla smelling works at Glen
dale, under the active superintendent of
MIR. Earle, are t 'rning out daily from twelve
to fourteen tons of base bullion, of over a
$500 to the ton grade.
Glendale is looking well. All the houses in
the town, vacated during last winter and
spr ng, owing to the reactions caused by the
bad management of the Hecla Company's
affairs one year ago. are filled up. People are
beginning to realize that the present manage
ment of The company's affairs-based upon
economy and common business sense-is
much more desirable than the short, wild
and extravagant state of things shown in
Glendal. during the last two years of the
late management.
General Manager Knippenberg is handling
the Hecla property with remarkable success.
He is in daily communication with each de-
partment superintendent al d not a dollar is
expended that is not absolutely necessary.
Under his management no useless schemes
of any kind are entertained, and the inter
ests OF the stockholders are carefully guarded.
With such a state of affairs it is not to be
wondered at, that the Hecls company stands
'o-day as one of the most successful mining
corporations i'm Montana.

NEW DISTRICT.
The Quartz Discoveries Near Dixie
Canyon.

The new quartz district of which brief
mention was made in the MINEE a few days
ago, as being discovered by Frank Bosworth
and others, is likely TO attract considerable
attention before long. The district is sit
uated on the summit, to the right Of Dixie
Canyon, which is the northeasterly branch Of
Yankee Doodle Gulct. Several parties went
out to the new distl let yesterday, accompan-
led by an expert from Colorado, to make an
examination. Messrs. A. f. briggs & Co.
have purchased a one-fourth interest in the
Elite Lester lode in this district, and they
have started a tunnel, about seven hundred
feet from the summit and intend to
push the work as rapidly as possible.
No water has been found yet within 1000 to
5000 feet from The summit, and surface water
will not be troublesome in prospecting the
nrw locations to a considerable depth.

Found Dead in a Cabin.

On last Saturday night A'pheus A. Buzzell,
a store-mason by trade, was found dead in
his cabin, to the west Of the Thornton mill,

consisting of K. A. Nichols, r. A. Rhea, A.
w. Mathews, o. W. Thorouglman, Lou P.

dence, rendered a verdict that ''the said AL
pheus Buzzell came 10 his death from disease
of the lungs n heart. From letters and
papers found on the dead man it was ascer-
that he can e from Bearsmouth, Deer
Lodge County, and that he has a brother
named Hodgen F. Buzzell living in Boston,
Mass. But little was known about the de-
ceased, as We are informed he had not been
here long.

TIL Butte Railroad Difficulty.

From Col. Washington Dunn, who is at
the Cosmopolitan, we learn the following ad-
ditlonal particulars regarding the Butte rail-
road disa with placer claim owners,
The Utah u Northern Company in the first
place surveyed its line SO that it would not
disturb the workers in the gu!ches, as the
road would be upon the worked-out bars.
They also offered il good price Tor the right OF
way, but this did not satisfy the avarice Of
some OF the owners, who asked for more.
The railroad agreed to pay certain "f them
the price asked, but as soon as this became
known other owners, ", ose existence before
had been unknown, began putt ~ in their
claims to the company, The amount of ground
claimed by the various parties ranging from
two hundred feet or less to several times that
amount, and the price asked ranging from
$500 TO several thousand dollars. The
whole matter was turned over to local par
lies, who have met with no success
i'll settling the diff .ulty. The ground could
not be condemned and appraised by a board
of legal appraisers, as it was not certain that
the building of a branch to Butte could be
made to appear as following the provisions
OF the charter, which only gave them such a
right upon a route building to i~ntersect the
Northern Pacific; and as the Butte branch
would only be an offshoot from the main
line, it was thought best to let the affair rest
for the present. The Utah, Northern d

ganized for the purpose Of building several
branches of that road to various points in the
Territory, Butte among the number, the
difficulty with The placer owners near Butte
can be obviated in the legal manner-by APP

gets ready for active business, which will not
be until spring; and until such time Butte
must wait tor railroad connection.-Inde.

The Funeral Yesterday.

The funeral of Mrs. Katie Sullivan, the be-
loved wife OF Mr.. Patrick Sullivan, took place
from her late home IN Centerville yesterday
morning, under the auspices of the ladies of
the Altar Society of the Catholic Church.
The deceased la iy was highly esteemed and
the funeral was largely attended by sympa-
thizing friends aud neighbors. The decora-
tiOns provided by the Sisters of Charity were
very appropriate, and the funeral address de-
livered by Rev. Father Dohls Was a suitable
tribute to the many virtues OF the deceased.

Police Court.

Judge Wilcox, at the Police Court room
Yesterday, heard and, disposed of ten city
cases. The ~olfenses included almost all the
minor crimes known aud enumerated III the
CITY ordinances. Four OF the defendants
were engaged in a racket in a Main street
saloon, and for kicking up a disturbance that
reflected on tie dignity of Butte they were
fined and had tie trimmings added to each
fine. Four cases were, supposedly, tie cause
of 100 much whisky, which put the blood OF
the defendants in fighting condition, and
they fought, or manifested Il disposition to
tight, which is in opposition to the plainly
printed and established provisions OF our
ordinances, and they all had the required fine
and costs assessed against them. Two OF
the Park street girls had had a battle with
their tongues, and used language thai would
make a hull-whackrr blush. The girls plead
guilty and said they were truly sorry ana
wouldn't do so any more, if they could help
il, and as ali evidence of their sincerity ooth
promptly paid up and departed, and Tie day
closed in the Police Court with a handsome
credit TO the benefit of the city treasury.
