Police Court.

The dull monotony of the Police Court
room was broken yesterday by the hearing Of
a Park street case. Martin II .rner was up be-
fore Judg': Wilcox. Martin bad been down
on Park street raising the devil generally and
more particularly with the domicile of one of
the girls living inthat uninviting section of the
city. Some of the testimony was comical and
the crowd laughed, but it was against Mar
tins chances of acquittal. AS this was the
defendants second appearance before the
court in short time the Judge imposed $40,
with the incdentals. Karner hated this, for,
alas, he was short of the needful, and in con-
sequence was sent to the City Tombs, until
he gets remittance.

THAT PEEPSTONE.

1t will be remembered that the MINER,
some time ago, gave an account of the sud-
den disappearance from Butte of nan by
the uame of Call, and that some of his friends
in Cache valley, Utah, procured the services
of one Of the 'peepstone'' saints to discover
his whereabouts through the medium Of this
infallible dornick, and that the wizard of the
peepstone stated that he was then in cabin
about four miles west of Butte and was being
cared for by man and his wife, and that his
horse was roaming over the adjacent hills
Well, so convinced were the saints in the
efficacy of their " peepstone" that party of
them came up to Butte to look for the missing
man. They found the cabin and the man
and wife in it, but strange to say the missing
man was not there, nor had he been in that
vicinity. The peepstone" got off wrong
that time and the owner of the same returned
to his home a sadder if not a wiser man.

OPIUM DENS.
A Call for Their Suppression in
Butte.

The attention of the policemen Oh duty at
night is called to the suppression Of several
low down opium dens that are running in
Butte with apparent impunity and in viola
ton of statutory law. There is a law to pun-
ish persons frequen ing these debasing holes,
and the same law, in its ample provisions, is
sufficient to suppress these sinks of iniquity.
Nightly blcar-eyed males and lewd girls, crea-
lures of the town, congregatc at these places,
and the debauchng they Indulge i'll is too in
decent to describe in print. The evil, and
that is drawing it mild, is growing, and should
be suppressed. The places referred to should
be pulled" and tie parties that congregate
at the dens SHOULD be punished to the full ex-
tent of the law.

PROBATE COURT.

Yesterday, John Norberg, native Of
Judge Irvine, on a charge of being insane aud
dangerous to run at large. Norberg was ar
rested the day before by Deputy Sheriff FISH
at the Divide. Judge Irvine in compliance
with the requirements of the law empanneled
Jury consisting of DR.. Thompson, F. II.
Buzzard and Jos. A. Hyde to examine Nor
bergs case. The jury found him insane.
While awaiting all order from the Governor
to place him i'll the asylu Norberg will be
placed in the custody of the sheriff. From
the evidence it appeared that Norberg went
crazy about a woman, and the same cause has
crazed multitude of men since the days of

MINING NOTES.

Ore is being hauled daily from the dumps
of the Morning Star and Gagnon mines to the
Colorado Smelter for reduction.
When the three smelters all get to running
in the Wood River country, Idaho, there will
not be much of the ore go to Salt Lake.
The yield of the Tombstone Mill and Min
ing Company, Arizona, for June was $751;
553. This is the largest output Of any one
mine, for one month"; in that Territory.
The returns from our mines so far this
spring and summer are proving more salts
factory than for many former years and there
is feeling of confidence among miners of
the Butte district.

THE BAG PIPE Player.
Something About the Dead Stran-
ger.

Some three weeks ago we published an ac-
count Cf the sudden death of bag pipe play
er, who was stranger in this section. The
notice falling under the eye of a gentleman
at Dillon, he writes the following letter re-
questlng its publication that it may be copied
by the California and Arizona papers,
and thereby come to the notice of the dead
mars friends aud relatives:
DILLON, Montana, July, 1881.
Editor Butte Miner
| notice IN reading a COPY of the Weekly
MINER that one John Blake, bag-p pipe play
er, had died at Butte, from the effects 0,
drink, and that his personal effects would be
sold to pay his funeral expenses. lthiuk this
mar is the same man that came with your
correspondent on the train f"om an Francisco
on the 18th of June. He was an Irshla n.
about 80 years of age smooth faced and of
middle weight and size. He had in his pos
session ole Scotch and one Irish bag-pipe, a
violin, blankets and black bag. We picked
up an acquaintance on the train and he tolr
me he had wife aud grown-up daughter,
i'.hs5, tHlhh, dG lfesCOIl, ATlZOUa, ana a
son learning trade in San Francisco. He
told me that he had lost SO 900 in stocks in
the last three months, and that the money
was the earnings of his wife and daughter,
who had sent it to him to take care Of Hav-
ing lost all, lie (Blake) determined to strike
out into some of the northern mining camps
and try and earn money to replace his loss.
On the train did not learn his name, but
think he is the same man described in the
MINER. On the cars he was offered whisky
frequently by his travelling companions, but
would not touch it, which leads me to think
that drink did not cause his death. In writ
ing this letter am simply actuated by hui
name feeling for stranger who died without
friend or acquaintance to recognize him,
and in the hope that it may come to the no.
tice of his family living somewhere OH the
Coast. Respectfully yours,

been general rains and local thunder
storms, but the wheat is not thick enough to
take serious damage. The nights have been

England. The barley crop will be very good in
some localities, but in the remainder it is OF
very irregular growth, and has ripened prem

Scotland, but variable and generally indiffer-
ent in England.
The gram trade is unchanged. Export sales
are made with greater difficulty than last
week, but where they were made prices are
maintained. Although on spot
inally unchanged, it was difficult
to make sales Friday without some conces.

supply is not excessive and the growing be-
