Hon. James z. McElroy.

James McElroy died on the 4th day of JAN
nary, 1881, and was about fifty-four years Of
age at the date of his decease. He was ma
tive Of Ireland and was born near the city OF
Dublin. When quite a lad he came to the
United States and for several years taught
school in Mississippi and other Southern and
Western States After this he went to Colo
RADIO and engaged In mining and became the
owner of valuable quartz interests. He left
there and came to Virginia City, Montana,
In 1863 and was among its earliest adventur-
ers. Since the spring Of 1866 he has resided
iu Bear Gulch, Deer Lodge county, or in that
years he acted ~ a Justice Of the Peace and
was also twice elected to the Territorial Leg
islat,,re. Judge McElroy was no ordinary
man either by birth or education. He had n
fine education, was n good scholar both In
Latin and Greek and spoke correct English,
rendered musical by his native pronunciation.
His main book was his Bible, either for study
or recreation, and / know of no one who
could repeat from memory more of its Ian
guage or teachings than the subject Of this
notice. He always bore the character OF an
thor he never united with any church
He had one fault known To his associates,
and that In useless to mention. Suffice 1t to
say it is too common to humanity. Many
are the victims from its cause alone, and fire.
auently the sod over their graves should be
come the greenest on account OF the purity
of thought and attempt Mt action of the body
beneath. @ -s+*
Judge McElroy was a warm persona
friend of the lamented Governor heagher
and McElroy's prepared orations were eqlal
ly AZ beautiful in thought and expression and
more perfect in delivery than his. This h
enough to say of any man a. an orator.
He possessed all the wit, humor AMI repar
tee that seem TO be peculiar to his native
land, and in his orations always rose to thu
heighth of eloquence, and he frequently In
terlarded them with spices of humor, alon'
brought from the Emerald Isle. He was ed
ucated for a Presbyterian minister and never
forgot his earlier teachings. One of his mos
beautiful and eloquent addresses was mad
In our Territorial Legislature in response Il
an attack upon Christianity. The poor, oil
man. wearied with the cares and misfortune
of life, arose from his seat and resisted tn
attack upon that which he cherished and b
lieyed in In an earnest and co nsiderate mar
nea.
Judge McElroy was a man OF superio
classical, historical and literary information
but his Bible was his book, and that alon
can be found, worn and defaced from stud,
at his cabin home in the mountains. Th

Helena on Monday morning did not reach

rived at the same time as the one leaving
Monday. The eastern mails have also been
delayed by the blockades on the Utah and
Northern, but fair time has been made from
the Terminus here owing to the amount of
travel keeping the roads open. The Nilsson
Ia road is quite bad, but the connections
have been more prompt than from either
north or south. While the fall has been
b.avy In other localitjas this valley has had
comparatively small share. The weather
has been cold, but the snow does not exceed
eight or ten inches in depth, and with ari'
