gin" remains in robust health. He appears to
enjoy his prison fare and the absence of duns
for board bills, but is anxious to see the dai-
ly papers and to learn that Garfield is dead
The warden of the prison and the physicians
of the President have been able, thus far, to
disappoint the gentleman in these particulars.
Now that the doctors have decided that
Garfield shows no signs Of blood poisoning
and that his recovery is only matter of time,

Our Helena contemporaries are making
some stalwart statements in regard to the
mineral resources of the several mining camps
i'll the vicinity of that place. We are always
happy to record discoveries that are being
made in different portions ofLhe Territory, and
