CANNED GOODS.
Large Orders Going to Chicago.

Montanians have been used to eating Cali
fornia fruits and canned goods for years, and
there is no question but that the Coast pro-
duces a fine quality of these commodities.
The recent heavy railroad rates placed Oh
Pacific products will necessitate the getting of
these necessities and luxuries from another
source. Our merchants, driven from one
source of supply will seek another, and the
merchants of Butte are now making out large
orders for canned fruits from the East. Yes
terday one house made out an order on Chi
cago houses for twenty-one hundred and six
ty cans of States fruits, which under the
late order Of the U. P. Railroad will come
through to Melrose at $3.50 per 100 pounds.
Other firms in the city are making out large
orders for canned goods from Chicago, which
point will supply the heaviest portion of the
Montana trade for q time at least. California
goods ale good, but a change to the products
of the East may prove highly beneficial,
Change and variety is what the American
people want, and they are never entirely sat
lsfied until they get it.

Going Home.

Fer several days past a party Of highly re-
spectacle and w]ell-Known citizens of Madi-
son County have been in Butte. The police
shadowed them, but, on The proper represent
alton of a MINER reporter, the gentlemen
were not arrested, although their actions, at
times, was mysterious. The gentlemen leave
for their homes to-day, and as they are per-
fectly innocent men it behooves a fearless pa
per like the MINER to say so. The party re-
ferred to consists of Hon. Henry n. Blake,
lately of the Supreme Court, Hon. W. w.
Morris, member of the Council from the
Madison District, Charles l.. Dahlel, Esq,
known all over Montana, Mr.. G. +. johnson,
a prominent merchant of Virginia City, and
Mr.. S. w. Hurst, superintendent of the
Broadway mine, at Silver Star. A safe per-
nit is extended to the gentlemen to depart
from thisc camp, with the hope tina. in the flu,
ture they may have occasion to come round
this way frequently.

Teachers Institute.

To Members Of the Territorial Teachers As.
sociation:
Your vote before adjournment at Helena
last winter was to hold an Institute meeting
at Deer Lodge during the latter part of Au-
gust, subject to the appointment of the Exec
utive Committee.
The corps of Montana teachers is so broken
and scattered this summer, that it is agreed
by Supt. Howey, your Executive Committee
and those Principals of schools in the Terri
tory who have expressed themselves, that a
meeting appointed for this month or next
does not promise we'll.
The probable time of meeting is during the
holiday vacation; place, Deer Lodge. Def
mite announcement may be expected soon.

Changes in Business.

Yesterday Mr.. Joseph Dyer sold to Mrs.
Kate NJ. Shodair the bakery and confection-
cry business carried on in the building ad-
joining the telegraph office, on West Broad
way.
A change has been made in the proprietor
ship of the large livery and sale stable on the
corner of Main and Park streets. The stable
is now run by Messrs. Owsley, Walton &
Tuttle-gentlemen of wide experience in the
business of handling horse flesh. Mr.. Lee
Mantle has disposed of his interest in the
business to the new firm.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Jake Baker, of the
Virginia Chop House, tackled all the guests
and boarders of that house, and, one by one,
conducted them up to the clerks desk, where
he introduced them to Mr.. Fisk, the new
proprietor, who had taken possession. Mr.
Baker evinced symptoms of emotion on the
occasion, but is now convalescent.

SOUTH STAR.
The Mine Bonded for 5000 900 to an
''. Eastern Company.

The South Star mine, which is located a
little to the south of east Of the Morning Star
mine, in Butte, has been bonded by the own
ers, Messrs. Amey, Laland & Co., to an East
ern company whose headquarters are at Chi
cago, for the sum of 5000 0. The bond is
conditioned and runs for three months. The
new company will m the active de-
velopment of the mine Immediately, and will
place hosting works.'on the property. The
South Star has been opened by a main shaft,
which is timbered, to a depth of 10 feet.
Ore samples taken from the ore vein in this
shaft assays from 80 to 100 ounces in silver
aud carry considerable gold. During the PEN
deucy Of the bord the ore extracted from the
mine is to remain on the dump. Work of
sinking is to be resumed in the main shaft,
which has not reached the water level yet.
The new company, by the time the pond ex-
pires, expects to have the South Star mine
fairly opened.

THE BROADWAY GOLD BO-
MANIA.
The London Mercantile Association
Buy the Mines.

Recently the MINER reported that The eel
ebrated Broadway gold mine at Silver Star,
in Madison County, had been purchased by a.
London Company, but the purchase was not
fully c~onsummated until yesterday. The
late owners have all been in this city several
days awaiting the transfer of the first pay
ment of the purchase money from one bank
ing house TO another. Gables from London
effected this result yesterday, and the money
is to be drawn through Messrs. Donnell,
Clark & Larabie, bankers of this city. The
London Mercantile Association through its
agent, Prof. A. L. Walton, purchased the
property, which consists of the Broadway
and Mutual Agreement mines and the Morris
mill and mill site. The Company pays
100000 for the mines and 1925, 900 for the
mill and its site. The sum of $l25 900 is
paid down, and 100000 is to be paid in four
months.
Prof. A. E.. Walton, who represents the
London Company, has operated in the gold
mines at Central City, Col, in the mines at
Ophir and Stockton, Utah, and he is inter
ested in the lead and tin mines of Cornwall,
England. In operating for the London Mer-
camille Association, a very strong mining Or
ganization, Prof. Walton has inspected the
mines of northern Africa, Spain, Italy, France
and Prussia, and will continue to examine
the mines of Montana at the instance of that
company.
The Broadway gold mine is a well deYel-
oped property. In the past it has been one
of the best paying mines in the Territory and
is to-day in a splendid shape, with an i'm
mense body OF free milling gold quartz de-
veloped and thoroughly explored. The mine
is opened with a main incline shaft $50 feet
deep. Levels aggregating ITO feet have been
run on the ore vein, which in places is thirty
feet wide. This ore mills from SIT to 500
per ton. An estimate places the amount of
ore in sight in the Broadway at 10000 tons,
which it is calculated will yield over $780,
600.
The London Company will Immediately
place new hosting works and machinery on
the property, and will enlarge the mill by
adding forty stamps to it. MIR. A. II. Mallory
is to have charge of the mill. Mr.. S. w.
Hurst, who has successfully operated the
Broadway for years, will be superintendent
of the mine. With a good mine, under the
management of experienced miners, we may
look for big results from the Broadway mine
in the future.

The Fire on Sunday Morning.

Last Sunday morning between three and
tour O'Clock the alarm of fire was sounded.
and it was ascertained that the stable of Den
mis- Leary, on East Granite street, was Ill
flames. The building burned very rapidly,
but fortunately there was no wind blowing
at the time, else the destruction of the build
ings adjoining could not have been prevent
ed. The roof on Mr.. Leary's residence was
slightly injured, and the furniture, which was
hastily removed, was damaged considerably.
The loss is placed at $500 to $1,000. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it was eth
CT the work Of an incendiary Or of some
tramp who had crawled into the stable to
sleep and set it on fire from a pipe or
matches.

Special telegram to the MINER
HELENA, August "a, 1881.
A fire on Ewing street, about the hour of
? O'Clock this morn ing, destroyed the stable
of Major Davenport, together with his bug
gy, harness, supply of hay, ETC., as also the
sheds of the corral adjoining leased and &C.
cupied by the government. The alarm from
the fire tower brought promptly to the ground
the entire fire department and streams of
water were soon playing on the flames both
from the lane engine and steamer, the former
a few minutes the quicker of the two. The
intlammable nature OF the barn and contents
rendered it impossible to more than confire
the fire thereto and the board sheds built
against them. The residence buildings close
by and the large warehouse filled with -four
and other supplies, a few yards distant, were
easily protected and in less than half an
hour the fire was subdued. Maj. Davenport
at great personal risk entered the burning
stable after the flames had enveloped the
loft and roof, released his horse and drove
him uninjured into the street. In doing this
the Major received several blistering burns
about his hands and head; but otherwise es-
capped. The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t is surmised, however, that it smouldered
from the evening before, when some en-
ploye had possibly dropped a spark from
his pipe at the time of putting in the load of
hay. The loss will probably not exceed
$1,000.

The Right Of Way Question.

We were informed last evening that the
right Of way for the Railway between Silver
Bow and Butte had been substantially grant
ed by all the parties interested in the ground
over which the road passes, with the cxcep-
oft expressed views favorable to railroads
made by this claimant leads us to hope that
all obstacles will be removed Immediately,
and that a full force of graders will be put on
the line between Silver Bow and Butte, with
out further delay. We earnestly hope that
such may he the case.

FISK UNIVERSITY.

One of the educational institutions
of which Tennessee has just reason
to be proud, is Fisk University, To-
Gated at Nashville It is doing a
grand work in the education of the
colored race 1t has all able faculty
aud we rejoice in it's prosperity. The
editor of the American recently visited
the institution, and from his obser
rations we take the following:
A visit to this Institution will SO
cure cordial welcome and exhibition
of verything from window to case
ment, from CELLAR to basement. 1t
is city set On hill, where nothing
is hid. The teachers are trained and
efficient; going about their work with
q quiet devotion which nothing can
divert; giving the visitor the idea of
that power each in his or her sphere
which comes of thorough knowl-
edge of the entire round Of duty.
The pupils exhibit neither the sub
misslve air of the slave, nor tie self
assertiveness of new freedom which
is always looking out for a place 10
assert itself They are polite, orderly
and attentive TO work. We have
seen no more orderly, quiet, we'll
governed community. 1t is gov
erned by knowledge and moral
power. That lesson of neatness and
order which lies at the foundation of
society is not taught, but imbibed ;
everything is neatness end order.
Kitchen, dining halls, dormitories,
lecture-rooms, parlors, are all alike
clean, neat and orderly. The model
school, with it's large, and, 1T first,
apparently unwieldy, attendance, is
model of order and good govern
ment, as well as thoroughness in
teaching. The first thought is that
there are too many to be kept in
order, and yet it is all as quiet and
moves as smoothly as the great Corr
liss engine, with a sway as kind as it
is thorough.
Our own recent visit was paid
without invitation OF announcement,
and hence we saw it as it is daily,
with no preparation for inspection,
nor did we intend any recount OF It
until weeks after we see how good
work may be given aid. The MAN.
ayers gladly well ome visitors at any
time, and would be glad to have the
aid a kind interest could give. We
assure the public that they cannot
fail to learn new views of a subject
we may ignore as long and as much
as We will, and yet we find it one in
which we all have a profound inter
est we shall be obliged to recognize.
The idea that we remain Indifferent
to the education and the welfare of
millions Of citizens is an absurdity.
It would be well to sustain with
friendly interest a guidance and care
which is SO conservative and SO thor
oughly at every point in coincidence
with the broad interests of the coun-
try and its progress.
