He believes that, making the utmost of al
lowance for the sanguine statements and be-
liefs OF the miners, that there is ample value
in the ore to justify expectations of success.
Among the passengers on the Benton

port, Ind. Mr.. Collins is a brother Of T. E.
Collins, Esq, Of the Bank OF Northern Mon
tana, and was, until recently, editor and part

stock company was formed for the purpose
of erecting a new hotel. The company have
secured the ground on the southwest corner
of Main and St. John street, having a 'front.'
age Of about 1875 feet, and will erect 8 build
ing with at least 100 feet front, and going all
the way back to the alley, 1870 feet. Work
will be commenced very soon. These are all
the particulars we are able to give at present.

Wetzel, Julius Hirshberg, Henry Klein, and

Hotter & Els are rafting about %, 600 feet
OF lumber per week from their mill on Stick
ney Creek TO the mouth of Sun River. There
is now at the latter point 125, 900 feet which
is being drawn into Benton at the rate of
about 5000 feet daily. Dir. Hotter experien
ces great difficulty in finding sufficient trans
portatlon, but he now states that he has com
pleted arrangements whereby be will supply
the market. The mill on Stickpey creek
will produce 10000 feet per day and is prob
ably the beot appointed of any in the Terri
tory. It IS Of the latest improved circu-
lar pattern. Mr.. Ellis will attend to the bust
ness OF the mill and the shipping of lumber
while q gentleman will be sent here to man
age the yard.
We would warn our readers to beware of
the ltenerant peddler. He is abroad in the
land, and will hunt you up, and endeavor to
sell you anything from a paper of pins to q
mountain howitzer. The most profitable
method of desling with them is to grasp
one gently but firmly by the nape OF the
neck, apply a No. 10 boot to the lower part
his spinal column, and intimate in forcible
language that if he is seen in the vicinity
again you will sweep the streets with him.
Our exchanges, both Eastern and Territorial,
are constantly exposing this class Of thieves,
who resort 10 every subterfuge to systemati-
cal1y blk their victims. 1t is much cheaper
and safer to make your purchases of good,
reliable home business houses than to encour-
age, by your patronage, the existence of
these iends.
The Nen North West announces the resig-
nation Of Col. w. W. Botkin as warden of
the u. s. Penitentiary, st Deer Lodge, and
publishes the correspondence relating there
to, which is highly complimentary to the re-
firing officer. Colonel Botkin has been in
charge. Of the penitentiary for the last three
years, and his administration has been one Of
marked efficiency and economy. Humane,
yet 11rnn, ID his treatment Of the prisoners,
courteous Il pleasant to those with whom
he has been brought in contact-in his Off
cial capacity and sCcially-he has gained the
respect of the prisoners and the esteem and
friendship Of the citizens. Col. Bo.lzin is a
partner in the drug house of Stanley s. Co.,
Butte, and will devote bis attention to his
business interests in the future. His success
sor will most probably be Mr.. Hugh O'Neil,
an old Montanian, at present a guard in the !
penitentlary, and who is well fitted for the
position.

Who says there are no clairvoyant
intuitions in dreams? A young lady
in Dubuque, Ia, saw, several years
ago, in the watches of the night,
the face of the stranger whom
she was one day to marry. She wait
ed patiently, happened to go to New
York short time ago, and met him
on the parlor floor of the Grand Cen
trail Hotel. She faipied; he applied
a bowl of water; she told him all; he
was not particularly pleased; but
magnetism will tell; they were drawn
together by electro-dynamics aud fate;
the dream has come true.
