Pyrenees Mine and Mill.

We were shown yesterday a gold button,
valued at about $1,000, the product
of the Pyrenees mine at Georgetown,
owned by Mr.. 5. Cameron. This is the third
or fourth shipment since the starting Of the
new mill, which was erected under such diff
ticulties during the hard winter just past.
The mill is said TO be a perfect little gem, ev-
e%rything about it working like a clock. Two
men only are required to run tan engineer
and a batteryman--crushing seven tons per
day. One cord Of wood, costing not to exceed
s.. 80, is the expense for fuel per day. The
bullion mentioned above was made from ore
which has lain on the dump for years. being
too low grade to pay for hauling to a distance
which, heretofore, has been the case with all
the ore treated from this mine. The new
mill stands very close to the mouth of the
tunnel and the ore is run out on cars and
dumped directly before the battery. Certain
ly the cost of reduction is very small, and IS
and $40 ore can be worked with good profit.
The MINER congratulates Mr.. Cameron
upon his well-carned good fortune

Miss Gertrude Dunlevy.

This unfortunate young lady, who was re-
Gently adiudged insane and has been receiv-
ed as such i'll the insane asylum at Warm
Springs, is Of very prepossessing appearan e
and of more than ordinary intelligence. Her
home is in the Prickly Pear Valley, Lewis
and Clarke county. The cause of her insan-
ity it is stated is euveloped in mystery. 1t
appears that at her examination in Helena
she was able to answer all questions intelli-
gently and but for the evidence Of her friends
and physicians it would have been hard for
questioners TO believe she was insane. She
has been always considered a devoted Chris
tian and until quite recently no change
in her faith was made manifest. But certain
skeptical works were introduced to her
notice which she read and studied with All
all %devouring interest. Her close and labo-
rious application to the subjects upon which
the works treated is supposed to have unbal-
anced her mind and plunged her in her pres
ent unfortunate condition. 1t is hoped that
a few weeks rest and the absence of mental
stimulants will soon restore the young lady
to her afflicted parents sounda and we'll.

NEW DRY GOODS
AND NOTIONS,
at Sands n BOyce'S,
A New Find.

We are pleased to record the discovery OF
an embryo bonanza by Bosworth, the inlmit-
able actor and genial gentleman. "Boz" has
been prospecting for some time in the Fourth
OF July district. His success was not such as
to lead him into wild speculation in regard to
the disposition he would make of his pros
pective riches. In fact his prospects were
not inviting and the outlook for becoming a
quartz king was hazy, if not decidedly dark.
But "Boz' is persevering and can swing a
pick with the same ease and grace that he can
make love to a fair lady upon the mimic
stage, and as fortune fayors the brave
in the latter enterprise, 50 also it at
last favored this knight of he pick
in his final efforts to unearth a treasure.
The lode upon which he expects to realize all
his brightest dreams is supposed to be an ex-
tension Of the Major Budd. But little work
has thus far been performed upon it, but
enough has been lone to develop a close,
compact vein of silver-bearing quartz three
feet in width, which samples 14s ounces per
ton. "3oz.' was offered a snug little sum
yesterday for an interest in the find, but re-
fused 1t. He has christened his claim the
Coldstream and proposes to stay by it. That
the Coldstream may prove a veritable bon

advertising Does Not Pay.

"Adveltising does not pay"we heard man
remark the other day. He was right. That
may seem a strange thing for a newspaper to
say, but it is true, nevertheless. Advertising
is of no use unless the advertiser has some
thing the people wish to buy, and takes the
precaution to place his advertisements where
they will be seen, by those who have the
money and the disposition to buy. 1t is simp-
ly waste of time and money to bury the adj
vertisement of first class articles in the col
umns of cheap publications which are not
read or seen by people. who buy such articles.
1t takes a long time for some persons to learn
the policy of lelying simply upon what they
presume to be the circulation OF a paper
without reference to the character of the
circulation. In course of time they discover
that advertisements in papers that admit on
ly first-class advertisements and whose r" adj
ers are of the better classes is worth more
than q similar advertisement in all the cheap
mediums combined. Well printed pages con-
tanning attractive and interesting reading mat
ter, and upon which the advertising space is
limited because it has to he well paid for, and
a circulation reaching the best people every
week, are important elements in successful
advertising. The man who uttered the words
quoted above does not advertise in this paper.
He has never consulted the above requir-
ments to sensible advertising. He is caught
by all the ''snide" advertising schemes and
his '~favors" always appear in sheets to which
he could dictate rates. We hope his adver-
Using has lone him good. 1t is Ell axiom
that anything you can get for whatever price
you fix upon it is not worth any price. The
seller is supposed to know the price of his
wares, and this is as true of advertisements
as any other understandable article.

A ACCIDENT.
A Drill Descends Two Hundred and
TWENTY-FIVE Feet and Pene-
trates the Shoulder
of q Miner.

Yesterday forenoon a terrible and probably
fatal accident happened to Mr.. Patrick Multi
gan, a miner working in the Grey Rock shaft.
1t appears that the bucket, filled with water
and containing several drills, had been hoist
ed to the surface. The carman attempted to
dump uu contents of the bucket in the car
without first taking the drills out. Unfor-
tunately one Of the drills, about two feet
long, fell back into the shaft and descending
to the bottom struck Mr.. Mnlligan on the
shoulder. and passing diagonally through the
body partly emerged at the left side near the
lower rib. Mr.. Mulligan coolly pulled the
drill through the wound and dropped it ON
the bottom of the shaft. He was afterwards
hoisted 10 the surface and a conveyance be-
ing procured he was taken to the Working
mems hospital. As We 90 to press Mulligan
is still alive, suffering but little, but the
chances for his recovery may be considered
exceedingly slight.

The cases of the Territory VS.. Gilmore

indicted for the murder of VIM. g. Cole,
have been continued to the next term of the

The Indians are skipping out daily, and by
the time the boats arrive to transport them to
Standing Rock, there will be no Indians left
except the old squaws and papooses.
We learn from County Commissions Jo-
siah Nichols that the people of Pease Bottom
have this year seeded more acres than ever
before, there being over 1000 acres in oats,
and other crops in proportion.
Considerable trouble is brewing among the
Indians near keogh, on account of their re-
moval to Standing Rock. They seem to be
trying to excel themselves in devIlsry lately,
and to have as much fun as possible before
taken east.
This court is still prospecting and has been
the most important term ever held in Custer
county. The criminal calendar is large, en-
bracing two murder cases from Glendive,
three assaults with intent TO kill, and several
indictments of a lower grade. The civil list
is also large and embraces several cases OF
magnitude and importance.
Quite an excitement was caused in own
early this week by a report to the effect that
| the Indians in a band had zone to the Gen.
Terry, where she is tied up near Fort keogh,
and ordered the officers to move her down
the river. The only result, however, of this
demonstration was to have a number OF

to take a walk back to their village.

The Montana Wool Growing Company,
W. D. Childs and one or two other Helena
capitalists, have 5000 sheep en- route from the
Pacific slope, for their new ranch east of the
Little SnOwies.
A man named Mitchell who is prospecting
for a Glendale company has made the discov-
cry of some excellent ores on Sage creek,
about eighty miles northwest Of Murphy's
place on the Judith. A large quantity of
samples have been sent out, and permanent
development will probably follow.
A destructive cut worm has made its ap-
pearance in a number of places in this coun-
ty. j. G. Starter reports them numerous on
his ranch and they are said to be very de-
struclive on the Missouri valley. The garden
CT John Link is besleged ii. NO a number of
others. We have not yet seen the unwel-
come visitor, but he is described as being
much like the army worm.s
Several of the principal beef and wool
growers of this valley met here last week and
compared notes as to the casualties Of last
winter, and the unanimous conclusion was,
that although the losses had not been as Sc
we're as was at one time thought they would
be, they were great, and the growing of sheep
and cattle on the extensive scale proposed a
few years ago is altogether too hazardous, eX-
cept for large corporations, and that the best
business for the individual grower Is to keep
his herd or flock within such bounds as to be
able to give it his personal attentions; that
the business carried on in this way will be
safe and very remunerative, but where more
is attempted than can be carried OIL in a man.
ner to insure success, there is too much risk
in proportion to the profits.

Our Agricultural Progress.

The census bulletin on agriculture Just
,sued shows that the past ten years have
been the most remarkable period Of ag-
ficutural growth in the history of the
country. The entire cereal product o.
the United States has made the enormous
advance of nearly one hundred per cent.
During the preceding decade the increase
VAS but II per cent, while between 1850
and 1860 it was 43 per cent. The yield
ol wheat alone has advanced from 287
UO0,OO0 to 459, ,00O, 900 bushels, gain of
q per cent, while the product of Indian
corn has sprung from 760,000,0O0 to
IiT72, 900, 900 bushels, an increase of 1873
per cent. The enormous productive ca
pacity of the great West and Northwest
Is shown by the fact that seven tenths of
the entire wheat crop of the United States
Is grown in the states Of Illinois, Indiana,
ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Cali
lornia and Wisconsin; while the three
States, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri to-
gether produced in lS79-the year cover
ed by the census returns-upward of
eight hundred million bushels of corn, or
more than the yield of the entire country
IN 1869. Verify the United States will be
able not only to feed its own rapidly null
uplying people, but also to supply Europe
with bread and meat whenever needed.
