In our report of the horses at the Race
Track we may have omitted the names of

trottlng trim.
Miners and laborers arc not plenty in this
district, and there is some difficulty expert

manager of the Inter Mountain and Informed
him that if the columns of that paper were
again used to advocate the propriety of tho
claimants of town lots in Butte seeking
compromise with the owners of the Smoke
