Our Revised Testament.

As everybody seems to. be putting in a
word as to how he or she would like TO have
the New Testament revised, we would like
to suggest a pa~ragraph-and we would much
prefer to have a space III the 'local" tage, if
there is one in the new edition. We want a
first class, red-l1ot, seething, Kissing, scorch-
ing, rip-roaring hell for the man who never
pays the printer, who steals his neighbor's pa
per, indites spring poetry, or writes on both
sides of the sheet. If there is one corner just
a little hotter than any other we want the
fellow put there who is constantly finding
fault with a paper toward the support OF
which he never contributes a solitary cent.

District Court.

The District Court met yesterday morning
at the usual hour. The time of the Court,
all day long, was occupied in hearing mo-
tions and demurrers. Thirty-four cases were
called and disposed in II way or another.
The Clerk WAS engaged at s7late hour last
night in writing up the journal of the Court,
and hence a synopsis Of yesterdays proceed
lngs was not obtainable. During the day
"demurrers" were numerous. These docu-
ments are carefully prepared by lawyers and
operate as a stop in an action upon a point
OF difficulty which must be determined by
the Court before further proceedings can be
had in the cause under consideration.

Gloster Gold-Silver Cleanup.

The Independent Of the 22nd says: The
Boston IL Mountains Gold Mining Co.'S cleanup
from ore frem the Chester mine, was IS.
3OS.54 for the fifteen days ending September
l6, 1881. The amount of ore run was 1GO
tons. A beautiful bar of bullion, the result,
of this run, was on exhibition at the compa.
ny's office on upper Main street, yesterday,
Its weight was 246.I5 ounces, 200 fine-63l
parts gold and $50 parts silver-as rer the
United States Assay office in this city. The
average yield per ton was s20. This is a
fine showing for the mine and considering the
fact that with their present working facilities
there is 4 gr liable waste Of 81 per cent. OF
the precious metal and that they have a tf,
teen-foot vein of ore, the Glos'er may be
considered one Of the coming bonanza's Of
Montana.

FAIR.
A Large Attendance and Good Elk
hibition Expected.

In referring to the coming Territorial Fair,
the, Independent says that it promises to be
the most attractive ever witnessed in Mon
tana. All departments, mineral, agricultural
and mechanical, will be well represe nted.
There will be more races upon the track than
at any preceding fair and from the records of
the various flyers that will contest for the
liberal premiums offered, we may anticipate
faster time than was ever made on any turf
in Montana. The exhibitions Of fine stock,
cattle, sheep, etc, ETC., as well as of agricul-
ture and mineral specimens, promises to be
larger and of a greater variety than ever be-
fore. No expense has beer spared to make
Floral Hall particularly attractive. A con-
tract for that purpose has boon let to Messrs.
Talbot and Barrett, professional decorators,
and this department promises this season to
be of especial interest. Those who have
heretofore complained that the races have
had undue prominence at our fairs, should
remember that the fault is really with those
who complain. Had gentlemen and ladies Of
aesthetic tastes taken the same interest as the
racing community and contributed accord
ingly, there would certainly be no occasion
for such complaints, as we trust there will
not be in the future. Monday and Tuesday
succeeding the fair, the base ball clubs of
Helena, Butte, Assmiboine and Shaw will
contest at the Fair Grounds for a purse of
$500 and the championship of the Territory.

The Gold Discovery in Eastern
Montana.

The Glendive Times of September Sth,
says: Muzzy and Davis, the alleged discov-
erers, have disappeared and are supposed to
be out prospecting. DR.. Sexton, chemist and
assayer Of the n. p. Go. has examined the
specimens and declares it COL and If good
quality. He also states that indications are
that there is gold in this country, and that i,
will be found in earth differing from that OF
gold fields heretofore known. An army oth
Ger states, that a miner in the expedition Of
'76, secured $ls worth of God in one day in
the hills here. Farther than this we are in
the dark, as it is impossible to obtain infor.
nation other than the above.

REAL ESTATE.
A Brief Review Of Drawbac ks and
Prices.

The real estate market in Butte for the
past week WAS quiet, hut not for wart OF,
buyers. The high demand of owners of
property shat GU, purchasers in many in
stances. Thu late raise in real estate in this
city was justified, when the resources Of the
district are taken into consideration. Sever
81 draw backs should limit property holders
II the prizes asked. There is no use in dis.
g~uising the fact that the location Of the TEL
minus Of the Utah and Northern hallway at
point eight miles below the city has re-
tarded the growth of the city materially. In
this age OF rapid and prompt communication
it is very hard TO make people believe, (out-
side Of a very small clique of interested par
ties in Butte,) that 4 city that claims to
be the great mining center OF the Pacific
Coass and the commercial emporium of Mon
tana, is really prosperous when her prosper
ity depends on the business afforded BY a
few dozens of mule and OK teams. Another
drawback at present operating seriously
against the city's improvement comes from
the scarcity Of building material. Many
buyers are non residents, who have come
here with the intention of settling perma-
nently, and being unable 10 obtain building
material they take thrir own time to invest.
One more drawback that Is hurtful to tie
resl est alto interest and to the city's prestige
is the bad condition Of the side ks. streets,
and sewers. Is it not time for III. city au-
thorities to avail themselves Of The authority
conferred by the city ordinances and enfol ce
the one relating to sidewalks, at least, for the
principal streets? Notwithstanding these
drawbacks numerous transactions in real es-
tate have taken place during the past week.
We might publish a long list but viii only
mention a few Of the sa!es made by curtis q
Andrieux, real estate agents, to show the
prices obtained for lots in different sections
of the city. One 10: on Upper Main street,
near the Original mine, sold for 5000 two
lots on Colorado street, near Silver, brought
$500 aud two lots on Washington street,
near the city limits, bro ght $500 each. This
shows that prices were fully maintained.
Thu inquiry and demaud for houses is great.
High rents are offered, but no houses are 10
be obtained.

low grade ore, carrying a large per cent Of
zinc, ant;mony and lead. Levels are being

ORIGINAL.
The Original mine just east of the Gagnon,
is producing rich ore. An examination OF the
ore hoisted yesterday from the mine sho wed
it to contain plenty of free silver. Stopping
has commenced at the Gagnon line at the
20O-foot level on a large vein OF good grade
ore.. At the 100 DOT level. both to the east
and west, the slopes are worked. The daily
average of ore hoisted is fifteen tons, which
can be easily increased. Eleven men are
employed in the mine. n
GAGNoN. us..
Work goes on at the Gagnon mine steadily
and the mine makes a lar and regular
weekly yield Of high grade ore. The daily
output of the mine is fully up to thirty tons
per diem. At present work Is confined to
the lowest leyels and stepes, which at depth
of 300 feet, ave looking first rate. In the
Butte District the Gagnon mine, as a rich ore
producer, j. in the first list.

Work in the main shaft of the Stevens mine

Secret of Large Crops.

One of the strong points in English farm
ing was recently emphasized follows by
Professor Roberts of Cornell University
"Herein," says he, al am satisfied, lies the
secret of England's success in raising larger
crops 1t would take away the breath Of a
prairie farmer to hear even an Englishman's
enumeration of the 'spuddings,' the grub
bings,' the 'twitcbings,' the harrowings, the
cross harrowings the rollings and crushings,
that heavy clay field is subjected to before
il is considered ready for wheat. What is
this all for? Simply to unlock the full store
house OF nature. That it is full has been
proven time and again. By actual analys-
is it is found that an average soil contOins,
in the first six inches, plant food enough
for from fifty to one hundred and fifty full
crops of grain. do not desire to discourage
the purchase aud use of fertilizers, but what
do protest against is, the purchasing on
time commercial manures at forty dollars
per ton which are really worth only twenty
FIVE, to enrich cloddy fields already fairly
rich in plant food locked up, it is true, but
there, none the less, only waiting a little
judicious application of brain and muscle TO
set il Free"

Bring Home something,

Nearly every farmer goes to the nearest
village to trade, visit a mechanic, or obtain
his letters aud papers, at least once week.
He often takes load to market, but he
rarely brings one home. He can, with very
little trouble, haul o load of msterial that
mny be obtained for nothing aud which
will be Of great benefit to his land. Most
village people make no use ofthe ashes pro-
duced IN their stoves or of bones taken from
the lnOat they consume. Scarcely any brew
er has any use for the hops that have been
boiled in his wits, and the blacksmiths
hardly ever saves the clippings he takes
fs,in the feet of horses. All these materials
make excellent manure. A barrel Of shaw
ings cut from the hoois Of horses contains
more ammonia than is contained in load
Of stable manure. Applied to land without
preparation, they might give no immediate
results, but they would become decomposed
iu time, and crops Of all kinds would de-
rive benefit from them. They may be so
treated that they would produce immediate
results. BY covering them with fresh horse
manure they will decompose very rapidly.
They may also be leached in barrel and
the water that covered them drawn off and
applied to plants. Water in which pieces
OF horns and hoofs have been soaked is an
excellent manure for plants that require
forcing. It stimulates the growth of toma-
toes, rose bushes and house plants very
rapidly, and emits no offensive odcrs A
vast amount OF lertilizing materials is vast
ed in towns that farmers could obtain the
benefit Of With very little trouble Chicago

American Pork.

Secretary Blaine, in consequence of the
attack made liz Europe upon American
pork, ordered an investigation, the result of
which is summarily stated as follows:
"The swine of America are of the best and
purcst breeds and are fed and fattened for
market on corn. 1t is not believed that
swine are thus fed in any other country.
"The report published in Europe con-
cerning the deaths of American hogs from
hog cholora are gross exaggerations.
"The fears excited and fostered in parts
Of Europe by interested persons that any
portion Of hogs which have died or may die
of cholera or from any other cause is or can
be convertible into merchantable lard, are
founded upon gross ignorance; for merchant
aLle lard cannot be produced from such dead
animals.
''The percentage of American hogs infect
ed with trichine (though this question is
thus far largely one of supposition) is in all
probability, by reason of the superiority Of
tie breed and feed, much less than that
among the hogs in any other country"
