l2S and 129, and the fifth division of the Re-
vised Statutes. BY Parchen, to amend the

Of Missoula county. BY Rodgers, to amend
II 4. BY Bell, to enable the people Of
Butte to erect school house. BY Glen, to
amend section 1902 Of the fifth division of
the Revised Statutes. Bell moved to recon-
slider the vote by which III b 30, to repeal
the law for the support of the Butte fire de-
partment was made the special order. The
motion was decided out of order. Blake
moved that the bill be recalled from general
orders and placed on file for third reading !;
adopted. Glenn moved that II b 4, to repeal
the anti-strike law be recalled from general
orders and fled for q third reading. The
question was divided, The motion to re-
call was adopted. Cullen moved 10 lay the
bill on the table; adopted as follows: ayes
IL, noes 8. Sedman gave notice of motion
TO reconsider. Cullen moved to reconsider.
Blake entered upon discussion Of the bill
when Cullen called him to order. The
Speaker said that debate was In order but
inust be confined to the question of recon-
sideraIion. Blake said that to defeat the
Hoeioh W iVSoiiStucT was W ueISal 0llu pre-
vent discussion Of the bill. Cullen would
not vote against his motion to reconsider.
Chambers had heard that q less objec
tionable bill would be introduced. Sedman
hoped that the members would vote ON their
convictions and not be governed by outside
influence. Rodgers was friend Of the bill
but had reasons for some amendments TO
reconcile opposition. Glenn warned mem
mbers with politicai aspirations to look to
their votes on the repeal of this obnoxious
law. Houser said that If tie bill was not
passed Deer Lodge would be Republican
county. Bell said that II the law was .
good one Il should remain ON the statute
book, and Il It was not 1t should be stricken
oG. He did not want TO see IL doctored, he
EhOught e oppressive and unjust. The mo-
lion 70 reconsider was lost, ayes 10, noes IA;

that the officers now elected In Deer Lodge
county, except county commissioners, shall
til the expiration of their terms in 1882. The
section provides for the appointment of tenn
porary commissioners by the Governor.
Blake in great rage denounced this partsof
the measure in terms referred to elsewhere.
Humber stated that while he would haFe
been glad If the committee had allowed, tbe
names of commissioners TO stand a. in the
original bill that had no bearing on
the issue at point that these officers hed
been elected by the whole county of DEER
Lodge and for the whole county of Deer
Lodge; that Butte and vicinity had cast q
majority of the votes at the election; that lit
was illogical TO say that Butte should eleet
officers for Deer Lodge county, and that it
was wrong for the officers SO elected TO serve
in the new county; that these officers had
been duly elected and they proposed TO serve.
Cullen had formerly regarded with favor
the proposition as offered in the amendWe1t
of Humber, but had -clnnged AEix v1cs9.4e
thought L. ywonld postpone the benefits Bnfte
Bell thought It preposterous for these old
officers to hold in Silver Bow county; We
might rs well allcw the old commissioners 10
hold on; for his part, IL this was 70 be a part
of the measure, he would as soon 60 Withhold
fhe section was then adopted as amended.
The number Of section was changed TOD
and De olfe offered . substitute for the set-
ton. 1t names Lee w. Foster, VIM. u. Jack
and j. Ross Clark ~ the special commission
ers TO serve until election. The substitute
was adopted.
On motion of Beach the Committee ros1
the Chairman reported progress tot the speal-
cr pro fens and asked leave to sit again.
As the principal issues were determined in
to-lays session, the further consideration in
Committee will not probably consume much
time. The session this afternoon was pro-
fracted until interest tagged and IL was bet
ter TO defer further consideration.

A representative Of the PILOT re
Gently visited the properties Of tht
Ruby Consolidated company on Slate
river and Yule creek, and was courte
ously shown about blythe efficient ane
gentlemanly superintendent, NJ. F
Armstrong.
Two Of the company's mines, ths
Emperor and McQuarric, lie contigu
ous On Slate river, about one and :
half miles above the new town O
Pittsburg.
The Emperor has been developed
by an open cut run s. feet into tht
mountain, showing a fine breast O
galena and quartz, fully IS feet high
and four feet wide.
Across the Gulch lies the McQuar
rie, upon which Is a tunnel 80 fee
long on vein of colored quartz anc
copper about 20 inches wide.
Two miles above, on Yule creek, or
line between Irwin and the famou!
Sheep Mountain, the company has q
I,group Of five very promising claims,
called the Royal Wave, Wall Street.
Little Annie, Cascade and Tracie
May.
The Royal Wave has a strong six
foot vein of fine galena, which sample
assays show to be worth from s75 tc
500 per ton. When the wagon road
from Crested Butte is finished the GU,
put of this mine alone ought to pay
for the deyesJ esnt of all the others.
The othershafeaeeea lees develop
ed, but all show gaed leads, which
may be traced for several miles
across the mountains.
The Yule creek and Rock river coun.
tries are now attracting considerable
attention incident to the marvelousl,
rich discoveries recently made on
Sheep Mountain, and we regard the
properties Of the Ruby Consolidated
ccn'paDsf as among the richest ard
most organising IN that vicinity.

Coming into camp late last Friday
night, Col. Lord and Gov. Crawford
were thrown from their carriage and
sustained sligh, injuries. Judge Davis,
Who was in company with them says
that style Of walEz;ng in town on their
ears he does not appreciate by any
means. Col. Lord bad his wrist sprsined
and Gov. Crawford said his heart was
broke. We presume this is not the
first time he ever had his heart broke.

The Gunnison base ball club was
noticeable last Sunday by IT'S absence,
much to the disappointment Of our
boys. A telegram early Sunday morn
ing, from Gunnison, announced that
their club had been 1isbanded. Our
boys had gone to considerable ex-
pense in procuring suits and providing
accommodations for the Gunnisonites
and they regret very much not having
an opportunity to pfsy with the Gun
nison club again. The Miner Bows
club are now talking of challenging
the D. & R. G. club, of Colorado
Springs, to play at Cunnison at an
early day.

We made the acquaintance last Sun
day night Of Miss Alice Harding,

aged six weeks, weight 14H pounds.
Miss Alice laughed, crowed and tired
to make us understand, but we
couldn't. Perhaps some other fei-
Ter" will understand her gentle voice
better II years from now. She is a
lovely little girl now and will doubt
less BE- lovclier then.

In this issue will be found an ad-
vertlsencnt Of the Pioneer Stamp Mil
Of Ruby Camp, which deserves the
careful perusal of mine ownels and ali
Others having ore to sell. The mill is
about ready for operation and the
manager is Offering the highest
market price for ores. 1t is to be
hoped miners will respond literally
to the call, for it will benefit our
camp to no inconsiderable extent to
have the mill shipping bullion, to
which end it requires goodly lot OF
ore. We will speak at greater length
on this subject next week.
