COUNTY
What u CO. respondent Has 80 Say On tie
Subject.


Editor Butte MINER:
The only subject at prescott agltajing ,be
people ofth:s section is the proposed division
of the county. The question has been ex-
haustively discussed in your columns, aod
thus far not one argument has been advanced
in opposition to tue measure. The Deer
Lodge paper, actuated solely by selfish aims,
kicked up a good deal of fuss aud feathers,
bat during a two weeks ~sojourn in Deer
Lodge | have ascertained that the county seat
weekly represents notbiog but itself.
The citizeus Of Deer Lodge are
disposed to look at the question
in a sensible manper. They recognize the
fact that a city of the size and importance of
Butte can no longer be tributary to Deer
the most excellent terms, and there is no
reason why the division should not quietly
take place without any ill-feeling. Whether
the line shal be established at or below
Warm Spring Creek, is a question that |, for
one, am willing to leave to the wisdom and
fairness OF the legislature about to convene.
The members Of that body are in duty bound
TO legislate for The greatest good to the great
est number. They are certainly not unawar
of the Inconvenience and expense TO which
all classes Of Butte's citizens are unnecessarj
ly Subjected every cine the court is convened
al Deer Lodge, and | am firmly convinced
that they will DO their duty without fear or
favor.
l am reliably informed hat some despe rate
scheming is going on among certain parties 10
defeat the PROJECT, and nat The opposition is
being secretly agitated by the very
men who with apparent cardor concede
the Justice of Butte's demand and promise
to aid in the passage of a division bill. The
past history Of these gentlemen, however, is
too well known and their smooth palaver and
honeyed words Of sympathy will not win the
confidence of the people of tbs city. The
secret efforts to prejudice the representatives
of other counties, which have hccn made by
this swect-sccnted clique are not unknown.
nor is it difficult 10 tathom the purpose of the
Deer Lodge paper in striving to make the
question a personal Que instead Ct allowing
it TO rest and be adjusted on the broad basis
Of right aud justice.
The distinguished gentlemen wuo are en-
cheering the opposition TO county division
are laying their lines deep,b but when they pull
them out they Will doubtless be disappointed
TO find that they have caught nothing. For
ouce they have got off on the wrong foot.
They have given themselves away at every
lurn, and are emireutiy deserving Of future
political oblivion for the dupliCity they have
practiccd in the discussion and management
of the project now agi!ating the people OF
Deer Lodge comfy. o. l.. L.

That the commotlon was occlsiOned by the
explosion of fourteen sticks OF giant powder

that the powder being frozen, it was put into

a Glimnse Of Mecoa.

The town lies in basin among steep
hills Of from FIVE hundred to seven hun
dred feet iu height, and probably not more
than one thousand two hundred to one
thousand five hundred above the sea. The
whole Of this vslley-about one mile and
a-half long By one third Of q mile across
is packed and crammed with buildings Of
all shapes and sizes, placed in no kind Of
order, climbing far up the steep side Of the
surrounding hills, with here and there an
outlying house on the summit of some
rock, looking as though crowded out, and
waiting for chance to squeeze into the
confusion below; n curious gray mass,
Aat-topped, to q European eye roohess,
half plastered--for plaster in this climate
is always either being put on or well ad-
vaneed in coming of, but never to be seen
in its entirety.
The walls Of the houses are composed OF
uncut stone and rubble, from three to six
| feet thick-in very high buildings even
thicker; cut stone Is used only for the
sills Of windows or jambs and arches Of
doorways, and very little brick is en-
ployed anywhere. Notwithstanding the
substantial thickness Of the walls, tottering
ruins may be found by the side Of the most
througed thoroughfares in every part Of
the city. Many of the houses are of great
height, large aud factory. like, full of little
windows. Seldom two adjacent houses
face the same way or at the same height.
| Nothing resembling row or street could
BY any stretch of imagination be extricat-
/ ed from such chaos of masonry. 1t is
/ impossible, even from an elvated point OF
view, to trace a hundred yards of open
space between houses in any direction
| (many of the passages are boarded over,
which to certain extent conceals them !,
except on the outskirts of the town, where
two or three suburbs straggle of up the
less inclined outlets from the valley, and
where the ground is not so thiekly built
over, though with the same systematic IT.

The rule seems to be that no two things

which, built as it is Of fragments of the
crumbling rock about, made to adhere with
thirty per cent. of coarse lime, together
with the dusky crowds creeping in swarms
about its dark lanes and streets, if such
mere tortuous intricacies can be called so,
suggests the simile of the giant ant-hill
most strikingly, aud indeed it applies bet
ter than any other description. There is
a great sameness about all this detailed
dissimilarity, from the midst of which the
Harem stands out most prominently, at
once fixing the attention, and indeed 1t is
the main feature of Mecca. 1t is large

and will stand fourteen degrees of frost.
