THE MOULTON COMPANY.
The New Officers and Directors.

Thanks to Mr.. w. A. Clark, President Of
the Moulton Mining Company, we are enabled
to give a correct statement of the official BUSH
ness transacted at the annual meeting held
last Monday in Salt Lake City.
The following is an accurate statement of
the officers and directors elected that day at
the office of the company:
PRESIDENT, W. A Clark, of Butte Vice
President, Governor Eli H. Murray, of Utah;
Secretary, George F. Prescott, OF Salt Lake
City Assistant Secretary, }. ii. Moore, OF
New York Treasurer, J. R. Clark, of Butte.
The directors elected were w. A. & ark, j.
X. Clark, J. r. Clark, A. }. Johnston, W. L..
stouffer, of Butte Gen. Eli Fl. Murray, Geo.
F. Prescott and w. Il. H. Bowers, of Salt
Lake City J. NJ. Moore, of New York, i'll
place If A. }. Campbell. Mr.. j.. NJ. Moore
was elected Assistant Secretary and will have
charge of the company's office, No. Is Broad
way, New York. Mr.. w. Ii. II. Bowers is
continued as Superintendent, being one OF
the directors. Ali the old officers were re-
elected.
The report Of the condition of the mine
was read and approved, showing everything
sn readiness for operating the new forty
stamp mill, except the ditch for the water
uppiy, which was to have been completed
during the current week, and in regard to
which the readers of the MINER will be fully
informed to- morrow morning. On this point
the Salt Lake Tribune says:
The first pick was driven in the present
works about ten months ago, and since then
the large shaft has been sunk, several levels
and drifts run, a~ggregating nearly 1900 feet,
a large hosting works erected, the most com
plete in Montana, and the finest and most
complete forty-stamp mill on the Pacific
Coast erected. The work gu the mine and
mil 10 a. thorough as any on the Comstock,
and reflects great credit on the management.
The work has been honest and thorough.
As Butte has become one Of the largest
mining cities on the Pacific Coast within the
past year, with the developments now be-
ing made in the Moulton, Alic', Lexington,
Bell, Mountain Consolidated. Wabash, lsele,
and a dozen of other great mines, it 10 not
impossible to predict that 1t will be the larg-
est mining city in the world. The steam
whistles of thirty hosting works already
echo through the hills Of the great district,
ana before the expiration of another year,
thirty more will lend their shrill music tn
the air Of the bustling, rushing energetic city
of buitt.
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-10-18

Nov deducting the total expense from the
total receipts Of the Office, a balance remains
of sos 40, which if applied to the salary of
the postmaster himself gives him not quite SO
per month as his own salary, though his noun
inrl salary is twenty-seven hundred dollars
per year.
Now the distinction between the postofice
receipts, which a. above given amount to
81 ,Os4.40, and postofice revenues, which as
given in the PETITIoN--a draft of which is
this morning published, amount to ST ,9lO.2o,
must be borne in mind, for tits distinction is
the real ground on which the petition is
based. BY the United States Postal Laws
the difference between the actual revenue,
which 10 81, 9lO.26, and the amount nlo,ced
for all expenses and salaries, which is $1,O17,
is known As the surplus, and it is this surplus
which the petition prays may be farther APP
piled to the necessary expenses of the office,
in order to furnish proper accommodations
for the public and enable the postmaster to
employ more clerks.
As it is, as will be seen by the figures first
given in this article, the actual amount paid
out by the postmaster for the last quarter viz:
$S76. 90, almost exhausted the entire allow
ance made TO him for his Owl salary as well
as all other expenses, so that the postmaster,
while nominally entitled to retain $225.OO
per month, or a total of $675.0 tor the quail
ter, as his own individual salary, out OF the
total allowance Of SLOT. 00-paid out nearly
the greater part of this amount and had left for
himself only $20s.OO for the entire quarter,
less than his nominal salary for a ingle
month.
More than this, the amount which lie has
been enabled 10 expend for the office rent
is only $50 per month, while the rent paid
for the present meagre accommodations is
$S3. 80 per month, the citizens of Butte thus
paving 1888 3 per month themselves. If the
surplus of revenues over allowances were ap.
piled to the Office expenses, as it should be.
there would be 10 necessity for this contribu'
ton from the citizens. Hence there is at least
one point of view from which 1t is of direct
pecuniary advantage to the citizens of Butte
to have the petition granted.

4 Taste of 0pe a-Guessing Of
Ogden Papers.
Died On the Train.
LOGAN, July 31st, 1881.

LOGAN, July 31st, 1881.
Editors Herald:
Our little town is still looking
Beautiful. We have nice weather,
although at times quite warm.
There is little or no sickness in
town, and I might say throughout
the entire valley. The farmers all
seem pleased with their crops, and
business in general is increasing.
We had three nights of opera in
our hall last week and much credit
is due to the participants, more es-
pecially to Mr.. Stevens who pre-
pared the piece and spent much
time in training those who took part
in it, besides taking the leading part
in the little opera.
The quarterly conference adj
journed to-day. We have had two
days meeting and good attend
ance.
The Ogden Herald of the 29th
instant contains an article
which is, as many of the
Ogden papers items are, badly
guessed. The writer says the Utah
and Northern passenger train which
left Ogden on the evening of the
2Sth inst. ditched four cars, etc. In
contradiction, if the gentleman will
allow me, l will say that on the
afternoon of the 28th inst. special
freight train left Ogden and when
within about three miles of Brigham
City a car, heavily loaded with coal,
broke in three places near the
middle, which was the cause of four
other cars Of coal leaving the rail,
damaging the track considerably.
Before the section men had finished
repairing it, the passenger train
came along and was delayed about
ten minutes. The coal has since
been transferred to other cars and
sent forward, and the damaged cars
picked up.
Hannah Jensen, together with her
father, husband and four children,
left her home in Denmark on the
4th inst, and while on the water she
was taken sick. She gradually grew
worse, and had become so weak
three days before her arrival at
Ogden, that her friends were COM
PEELED to carry her, when it became
necessary, to change her seat or car,
or move her in any way. The fam
lily arrived in Ogden yesterday morn
ing, and in the evening boarded the
Utah and Northern passenger train
for this place. The lady had a bed
fixed in a seat, and was made as
comfortable as could be under the
and seemed to rest |
well. Just after the train had left |
Deweyville a handkerchief, which |
covered her face. was raised |
and revealed the awful fact that she |
was dead. On the arrival of the |
train at Collinston, six miles north |
of Deweyville, the conductor tele-
graphed Superintendent Thatcher,
stating the facts as near as possible |
of what had happened. Superinten-
dent then notified the mayor of
Logan who provided teams to carry
the body to Hyrum where two
brothers of the deceased live. The
remains will be buried tomorrow.
The deceased was A years of age.
The family had through emigrant
tickets to Logan md intended locat-
ing in Hyrum:n near their friends and
relatives. SPY.

COW BOYS AGAIN ON THE RAMPAGE

The people Of Caldwell are new.
er at a loss for n sensation. Right
on the heels Of the Danford bank
excitement, comes the report that
the COW boys have attempted TO
take the town. The following
Is a condemned report Of the
affair:
Last Friday night Iparty of
COW boys, among whom were Ike
Sherman, alias Jim Talbot, and
one OF the most desperate men
on the border, Robert Mersey,
jim Morton and Sam Lowe, were
on a high jamboree. which lasted
clear through the night and into
the morning. The efforts made
by the police, whose force had
been increased by the addition
OF several specials, to maintain
quiet, at first seemed successful,
but IN the afternoon the row
again commenced. Talbot, who
had a grudge against Mike Mea-
CHER, the marshal Of the town, hid
behind building, and as the lat.
ter jeanne along, not suspecting
ANYTHING, Talbot shot him with
deadly AIM Meagher being in
stantly killed. Meagher was one
OF the bravest men in the west.
and had he been given half a
chance would have not allowed
his cowardly assassin to have hi,
shot without getting one in re
turn. One Of the gang o, COW
Boys, Dave Speer, was shot deat
by a citizen as he was MOUNTING
his horse. BY this time the towr
was fairly ablaze, and tho COW
boys seeing there was troubl,
ahead for them, secured horse

February, 1880, Mr.. Fechter came
to lunch. Told a touching story of
Medemoiselle Mars during her last Years.
She came upon the stage one night to
personate one of the parts she had made
famous in her youth. When She ap-
peared some heartless wretch threw her
a wreath of immOrteIles-as it were for
her grave. She was shocked; drops
stood on her brow, the rouge fell from
her cheeks, and she stood motionless
before the audience-a picture OF age
and misery. She could not continue
her part. Mrs. Fields Diary.
