= Mr.. w. I Marshall, one Of our old.tim
citlzens, who has been for some time pal
lecturing throughout the States OH Wor
derland and kindred subjects, arrived her
= Tuesday In charge Of party Of tourists :
the National Park. He was warml
!, greeted by host Of old friends and az
quaintances.
We are informed that the intended locs
ton 0f the sinelter, now en- route from Sal
Lake to this county, Is to be as near a
: practicable to the forks Of Granite creek
. There are a number Of good mines in tina
: neighborhood, which will furnish 1t all tn
> work It can do.
The city has donated to the NJ. E
church, two lots on Warren street, east O
II. Warmington's residence, for parsonag'
purposes. They are among the most de
xtrable lots In the city, commanding
splendid view Of the surrounding neighbor
hood. The building OF the rarsonage will
be commenced forthwith.
In the guIch, just .oelow town, the min
ers have discovered q new p~y streak which
runs far back into the hill on the west side
Of the creek. It "pungles" handsomely, and
bids fair to hold out for years. When these
claims (which have lain dormant for years
having been supposed to be barren ground)
all get to working they will largely In
crease the annual product Of Alder gulch
dust.
Gilner u Salisbury were the purchasers
recently Of what Is known in Nevada Us
the Bertrand mine, and Jack and q. ]. and
Prof. Jenny have just been measuring one
Of the ore bodies-a bonanza in dimensions
and riches-lately uncovered in one of the
levels. The opinion arrived at Is u million
net tor the lucky owners.
Prof Howey, who arrived last evening
from Bozeman. informs US that an addi-
tional grading contract was reported by
the Northern Pacific in Jefferson county
which would bring the roadbed from Bed
ford to point west Of Beaver Creek.
Fifty men, with full complement Of
teams, are booked for the letting, and other
contracts are rumoi ed, looking to the rapid
building OF the railway west OF Helena. It
Is probably question Of labor only as to
whether the Northern Pacific grade is
pushed this season forward to the immedi.
ate vicinity of the Capital, and this much
undoubtedly will be accomplished in the
time specified should Washington Dunn's
force, at work In Deer Lodge county, be
brought across the range. This arrange.
1nent would give this year to the Northern
Pacific finished grade in Jefferson and
Lewis and Clark counties equal to the dis.
lance covered by the Hell Gate lettings
west Of the Divide. .4..

The murderers, Aver and Green, are
still at large, and occasionally drop down
on some freighter, holding him up for
few dollars or forcing him to trade horses
and no effort Is being made to capture
them by the officers of Alturas county.
Perhaps they ave waiting for them to at-
tack the coach, and kill one or two more
persons and make a big haul, when a re.
wurd will be offered for their capture.

1t ia well-known fact that merchant
Of this place in 1886 purchased barrel Of
a-year.old whisky, which he placed in his
cellar, saying he would keep il till the first
n. P. railroad train hove in sight at this
place, when the barrel would be tapped and
the drinking public invited to imbibe.
While here Gen. Anderson stated to citi-
zen that In about year or q year and
halt, he proposed to call for some Of that
whisky. So it looks as If he proposes to
push things
A good deal Of town gossip has been
floated during the past week in regard 10
the sale ofthe Kennedy House to Mr..
Rodgers, Of Virginia City. So far az We
can learn, a bargain has been agreed upon
between Mr.. Kennedy and the womld.be
purchaser,--Captain Rodgers-the latter
agreeing to pay $1,000 for the premises
furniture, etc. Occupation will be given,
when the money is paid, which is probable
IN about five or six weeks.
