THE POOR HOUSE.

The Poor HOUSE was visited and
the condition of the property was ex-
amined, and the buildings DOW occu-
pied are 10 good repair, and the prem :
ises are we'll cared for, being kept
clean and neat. There are, however,
two double cabins, not now in use,
which are not so that they could be
used should they be needed. The ap-
pearance of the inmates, eleven in
oumber-fve white, six eolored-
shows that they receive proper treat
ment and that they are we'll cared for .
We believe it to be fact, evidenced
by the reports for year ending 30th of
October, 1880, and the contracts en-
tered into for this fiscal year, that the
County Commissioners and Keeper Of
the Poor House have tried to reduce
the expenses of this institution to the
minimum so far as they could in con.
sonance with the welfare of the in
mates.

the colored people are no better of
than when first emancipsted there
are some who by diligence and saw
ing have accumulated considerable
means. These exceptions prove
one thing very clearly, viz: that
the fact that the negro has not i'm
proved his financial condition is
owing to his own improvidence and
lack of thrift; they show that he
can do so. Very few of them ever
seem to attempt it or even to desire
it. Whether they get high wages
or low wages, whether they get one
fourth, one-third or one half of the
crop the result at the close of the
year is the same-0.
Another feature of the average
laborer is, that he wants to work
just as little as he car possibly get
along with. If he can make a GER
tain smount- enough to get him
two or three square meals-that is
all he cares for; be won't work the
other half for a similar amount
The time he doesn't work is so much
time saved. His idea on this sub
iect has been compared to the idea
some men have of a labor saving
machine, whose definition would be
"a machine to save labor" Their
idea is that when one has done as
much work with q labor saving ma
chine as he could have done with
out he is entitled to stop work and
take his rest, whether it be morn
ing, noon or night.
Another drawback to the average
negro is his love OF liquor. Not

THE JAIL.

Sonance With the Well2re OF tne IN
mates.
THE JAIL.
The condition of the Jail was found
to be good, making the prisoners in
charge of the Sheriff tolerably secure.
There are some repairs, however, which
are needed, part being already under
contract. We would call attenti
of the County Commissioners to the
leaks in the roof of the Jail, calling to
their minds the fact that the repairs
under contract do not include the
stopping of these leaks.
THE COURT HOUSE.
The Court House is in good repair.
The Jury Rooms, as has been seen by
every Jury, Grand and Petit, for some
time, are in bad condition. There are
no chairs, nor can one enter these
rooms without having eyes and nose
offended by unpleasant sights and
odors, caused, in part, by the drip
from the TWO lengthy stove pipes.
We would recommend the procuring
of chairs for these rooms, and the
changing of the pipes, or stoves, if
necessary, to avoid the nuisance.
Would also recommend that addition
al chairs beprocured for the accoumo
dation of the members of the Bar.
COUNTY OFFICES.
Have visited the various County
Ofices-Clerk's, Sheriff's, Judge of
Probate's, Auditors Treasurer's and
School Commissioners, and are salts
fed with the workings of the same,
feeling assured that they are in the
hands of competent men.
TRIAL JUSTICES.
The Offices of those Trial Justices in
the Town of Newberry were visited
and found in good trim. Their books
Of record were easily accessible, and
ready for inspection. Their accounts
against the County for last fiscal year
were examined, and we are satisfied
that they were paid by the County
only for services rendered.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Special attention was given to the
Office Of the County Com mmissioners,
and the care shown in the keeping of
the accounts and vouchers added to
the pleasure. We are satisfied that
the duties Of this Office are copscien-
tiously attended to. We would call
attention of the County Commissioners
to the need there is for bridge over
Little River on the Island Ford Road,
and recommend the building of the
same. Also to place in the Brazel-

Chase district, but little work has vet
been done in the way of developing it.
More prospecting would probably result
in opening up paying mines in the dis
trict, which is conveniently situated,
and possesses all the needed facilities
for operating mines on an extensive
basis.
H ELKHORN DISTRICT
In the Elkhorn district work is tenn
porarily suspended, although there is a
strong possibility that it will be resumed
The operations during the past
summer, SO far as mining and reducing
the quartz went, were successful, but
other matters went wrong and hence the
district remains in statu quo. 1t is ex-
pected that a resumption of work will
be made. The mill and machinery is in
good working order, and the mines I'M
der their most recent development are
looking well.
The new tunneltapping the Stormlod
has just struck the vein, encountering
a large body of vein matter, with a streak
of high grade ore clinging to the hang
ing wall. Other claims in the district
have been prospected, more or less, and
some look quite favorable.
In these districts examined and briefly
reviewed, the developments made i'm the
past year have been uniformly favorable
and the showing of the future is especial
ly bright. Where SO many mines are to
be reported, breviety must be observed.
Many really good mines in these districts
are not mentioned at all in this review,
and await further notice.
Taking everything into consideration
the quartz interest ofsouthwestern Mon
tana, is, to-day, better than ever before,
and time will demonstrate that this is
no careless or thoughtless assertion.

THE EAST SIDE.
The Cataract Mining District
Condition of the Mines.
The Alta Montana Com
pany's Mines and Re-
ductiOn Works.
II Very Promising Outlook for I1Ll
ahead.

Editor Butte MINER:
Taking the large reduction works at
Wickes as a starting point, there are in this vi
cinity four great mining districts, viz. Catar-
act, Boulder, Colorado and Vaughn. Com
ing from Butte, after passing the Fourth of
July, which has been well written up Cor
your columns, we reach the Cataract mining
district. Only during the past summer and
fall has any work of consequence been lone
in this section. On the right side of the
Boulder river, and a little above the village
of Basin, Is located the Katie gold mine, dis
covered last May, and owned by O'Donnell
& Kleinschmidt Bros. A shaft 70 feet in
depth has been sunk on the ledge, and a
crsss-cut tunnel taps the vein at the bottom
of the shaft, disclosing a vein of quartz y
feet in width, which, the owners claim, aver
ages $40 per ton, assay value. The same
parties own several claims adjoining, which
as yet are mere prospects.
The Buster is a claim Oh the right side of
Basin creek as we go up stream, owned by
the same parties as the Katie. In sinking the
shaft on this mine II tons of ore were extract
ed which paid for mining, crushing, the ex-
pense Of making a road to the Boulder mill
and left a dividend of $3.50. 1t is the inten-
ton of the owners to make the revenue de-
rived from the Buster pay for the develop
ments on the Katie.
On a high mountain, 1,400 feet vertically
above the mill at the base, is situated the
Boulder mine. This is the best prespected
mine in the district over 5000 tons of ere
are now exposed in the mine and on the
dumps. A cross-cut unnel is now being run
which will soon reach the vein and will open
the mine up to quite a good depth. The ore
run throu Oh the mill as taken from the Boul-
der averaged SIS per ton, while the average
fire assay showed a value of $50 per ton ;
therefore, on account of poor milling facili-
ties, or some other cause, only 50 per cent. of
the value was saved.
One mile below Basin creek Cataract creek
empties into the Boulder river. One mile up
this creek is the famous Mantle gold mine,
owned by S. T. Hauser, of Helena, and Col.
L. NJ. Black. The ledge crosses the creek
nearly at right angles, and can be worked
cheaply by tunneling on the vein. Two tun-
nels are o being IN, one on each side of
the stream. The tunnel on the north side Of
the creek is in 80 feet, while the south side
tunnel has penetrated to a distance of $50

well as immigration. Many are of the
opinion that increased facilities for
transportation means financial ruin to
the farmer. To show hat this opinion
is not well founded, we have only to call
the attention of the reader to the freight
rates from nearest agricultural neigh
bors. 1t will be seen that these rates or
any rates that would pay the railroad
corporation, would act to discriminate
in favor of all bulky home produce.
That our permanent wealth depends
mainly upon that interest, and is found
edupon that industry, is too old a tru-
ism, and a too well demonstrated finan-
cial fact to be disregarded at this late
day. What would the rich and prosper
Gus empire of the Pacific have been to-
day, but for this later and greater
source of wealth she developed? We
are fully justified by the history of other
gold-producing countries that have neg
lected its agricultural resources, in as
serting it would be a desert waste and
instead of seeing an almost countless
merchant navy, under the flags of all
countries, hurrying to and fro through
its golden gate, instead of seeing the lofty
domes and the crowded streets of its
populous cities and it's numberless ware
houses filled with produce, we wonld
see an almost deserted waste fastening
antiquity. In our w Territory, with
the certainty of a greatly increased de-
mand for home consumption, with che
present exhorbitant price of produce and
limited supply, one would suppose a
sufficient inducement is offered for CAPT
tai to invest in a less hazardous enter
prise than mining.
A word more, and we leave the subject
to others more competent. Although
We have boosted much of the great area
of agricultural lands in Montana, its
productive soil, ETC., yet the writer will
venture the assertion, as far as Deer
Lodge county is concerned, that not
twenty-five really desirable locations
outside of railroad lands suitable for ag
ricultural purposes are vacant and sub
ject to location to-day. There are
what are known as table-lands, o.
bench lands, with a good soil, but t.
make them productive, capital will bt
required for constructing canals for irri
eating purposes before cultivation ofthest
lands can follow. Yet, the presen'
prospect favors the prediction that this
county will soon consume more than al
other parts of the Territory put together
At the best, should the population o
Montana increase for the next ten year
in the same ratio it has in the last tw,
or three years, the home consumption
will equal the supply if every acre o
agricultural land in central Or western
Montana be made productive by cultiva
ton.

Condition of the President.

The Baltimore Sun of Thursday has
the following: "The extreme weak,
ness of the President yesterday was
the most discouraging feature Of his
case. Although there was some abate-,
ment in the fever, the pulse at times
went up to 10. These alarming
symptoms the physicians stillaatribute
to the Shock occasioned by thssurgi-
cal operation of Monday, the nausea
which followed the takingIof ether as
an an@sthetic and the diminution in
the quantity of food taken by the pa
tient since the gastric disturbance on
Monday afternoon. The last bulle-
tins report the President as enjoying
alrefreshing sleep. The new incision
seems to have greatly facilitated the
flow of pus from the lower channel of
the wound" .v oo,,or -.

Republican State Convention.

The Republicans Of Virginia who
have met in convention at Lynchburg
to nominate a ticket for the several
State officers to be elected this fall
do not seem to be in perfect accord, ;"
and as result we now see two bodies
in. session-the straightouts and Ma
honeites-with but slight prospects Of
reconciliation Of the two factions.
A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
says: THE probable action of the
straightouts is much discussed, and
there are some who think the two bod
les will yet harmonic, but the best
informed think otherwise. A leading
debt-payer said to me to- day there
would be no nominations, and that
himself and others whom he named
would vote for Daniel. Another well
informed politician says on the other
hand that the regulars will certainly
nominate, and that their ticket will
be Wickham for Governor, Yost for
Lieutenant Governor, and Willough-

IT is sprightly paper, that New

ing its surplus energy in the way of
exceptions to the average verdict and
the general rule. Commenting on the
cheapening Of transportation which
has enabled America to compete with
and almost drive the English farmer
out Of his home market, to the great
injury of the landed aristccracy, whose
chief revenues are derived from rents,
it thinks that the world is not much
of a gamer after all If the aristoc-
racy of England is being crippled
through the causes mentioned, plu-
tocracy of railroad managers and
stock gamblers, who corrupt legisla-
ton and subsidize the press is grow
ing up in this country through the
very agency that is injuring England,

lish aristocracy infinitely preferable
