honest miner W uld be better eX-
pert than these specialized French
scientists in judging mines; but
should not the French nation get
bit as well as the British in buying
nIines?) The hills all around are
being punctured after the precious
metals. All Of these enterprises
tend to make business very active.
Every mechanic, laborer or miner
can find employment in an hour OF
two. No one complains Of wanting
q job. Wages are good, labor plenty,
hotels scarce, houses few, stores
plentiful. Our tOWnSman, Chas.
Kimball, could not get abed for
three nights, and so he informed me
the day l arrived there. was fOrtu-
nate enough to get a bed in room
where there were two other beds,
and these appeared to be hired on
shares, as the men who slept on
them in the morning was not the
same we saw when we went to bed |;
but the most surprising thing is the
fact that all is SO orderly and quiet,
very little shooting or killing going
on only one person in the city jail.
I was told stealing is rare. saw
some well-known names on stores
that made me think of Salt Lake

j. V. Long s. Co., Richards & erik,
and scores of faces familiar to me
on the streets. Everybody feels
well-boom, boom, bang-stOres are
going Improperly rising in value
every day. Three or four churches
and a Catholic hospital adorn the
city, but Ingersoll'S tracts are more
read than those of other parties.
People do not get religious as they
get rich. For genuine piety COM
mend me to the struggling poor man.
The residents, however, are all lib
eral to the Christian sects, and sub
scribe to all the churches.
Religion is handy sometimes,
especially at funeral.
There are three daily papers-The
Miner. Il1ter-MOuntGi7l. and Inter
Mountains. The last is managed by
the truthful Freeman Of Frontier
IndeC fame. Montana raises some
of the vegetables consumed, but
most of the fruits and vegetables

as Mr.. Ben Sheeks. 1t is said that
the lawyers are the worst off of all
the citizens financially, very little
litigation is going on. Rates on all
goods from the east are cheaper to
Butte than to Salt Lake City. For
instance $50 per hundred for
canned goods, rice and green coffee.
First class rates on general mer-

Pacific is heading for Helena, and
possibly Butte. A grand rush will
take place to Butte next year, and,
of course. everything will be over
done; but it is a lively camp, and
full of promises. The winters are
very cold. Last year the lowest
marking was $50 below zerO-by
spirit thermometer, but the air is
dry and some persons say they do
not feel it so severely, as zero on
the seabord. When the winter sets
in, building will stop, and the boom
will end for a while, but next
spring will see loaded trains car
rying the surging crowds to this
new EldOrado of the north.

found themselves looking for the doctor

Within two hours time the population

The Philip who is the father of the boy
won the bet clear through. The one
with the girl is unhappy and has hung
his harp on the willow tree. His bower
no longer resounds with the accents of
his magnificent basso pr9fundo voice.

NatchitOches Vindicator 1t very
rare occurrence that Sibley Lake, Just
west OF this city, becomes dry. During
thesummer months there have always
existed holes which became the resort of
those carniverous amphibious reptiles of
the Saurian family, yclept alligators.
This year the continued drouth has
evaporated even this customary mois-
ture, leaving only few slush spots.
Last Saturday party of citizens re-
paired to the lake armed with long rods
ofiron and ropes, for the purpose of de-
stoying the alligators which, from time
immemorial, have infested this locality.
These reptiles had buried themselves
deep in the moisture of the lake bed and
were easily discovered by the huge bur
rows in the ground, the entrances to
which were worn smooth by the passage
of the ugly denizens. The modas operaa-
di of catching them was to thrust long
rod with hook formed at one end and
turned downwards, into one of these
caverns and stir up the occupant. 1t
would invariably snap at the object of
the disturbance and a jerk fastened the
hook into the soft part of the lower Jaw,
when it was drawn forth and dispatched /,
with a hatchet The party killed six of
.he amphibious reptiles, one measuring /
lIne feet, two about seven, two six and |
me five feet.
