THE INJUNCTION QUAsRED.
Judge Galbraith Refuses 90 Grant the
Injunction,

special kilograms were received from Deer
Lodge yesterday afternoon conveying the ex-
pected intelligence that Judge Galbraith had
decided the injunction case by refusing to
grant what may be appropriately termed a
permanent Injunction" This was anticipa-
Yea oy all OF the cool, reasoning c~isizens of
oliver Bow county. The fimsy pretext, for
law points" on which the injunction was
asked to be granted were, doubtless, manu-
lactured by some briefess barrister, whose
limited knowledge of law is coextensive with
MS acquaintance with Webster's spelling
DOCK and Pinneo's grammar, as the scom-
plant" in the case fully shows. The com
plant was lame, insufficient and p~ointless in
every line. Aside from this Judge Galbraith
respected the rights of the people. He could
not nave done, otherwise, for the Judge has
been a pronounced divisionist from the COM
mencement of the division agitation, believing
that the best interests and welfare of the cit
lzens OF this section would be subserved by
the creation of a new county. Thus endeth
the late fight, and it is to be earnestly hoped
that no further attempt will be made to dis
turb the privileges and rights of the people of
Silver Bow county.

Making skeleton Leaves.

The following directions are given by a
lady who has had experience in the prepare
ton of these leaves: Take four ounces of
washing soda and two of lime. Slack the
lime in a little water, add one quartof rain
water. Boil this one hour and drain off,
and in the clear liquid place the leaves. Boil
gently for one-half to one hour; then remove
ing one at a time, take the flesh off with a
cameIs hair-pencil in water. and bleach in
chloroide of lime water. The latter is made
as follows: Dissolve one-half pound of chic
ride of lime in three pints of rain water; let
it stand two hours when dissolved, use two
taolespoonfuls to one pint of water. When
blesched, float the leaves on paper IN water.
When nearly dry press them.

TO BE HANGED.
Sentence of Death Passed orr Douglas and
the

The MadisOnian publishes the sentence of
Judge Conger on Douglas the murderer of
Mrs. Alice Eary. Douglas was asked, by
the court, if he had anything to say why

him, and he replied, 81 have nothing to say"
The judge then completed the sentence 9.
''There only remains now to the court the

BASIN CITY.
The boulder Gold ana silver Mining
company.

A Logansport, Indiana, company own the
Boulder mine, near Basin City. The COM
pany is energetically opening the mine, and
are working twenty-five to thirty men on
eight-hour shifts. A. main shaft has been
sunk on the mine to a depth of l4O feet,
which is to be dropped dew deeper before a
cross-cut to the north is started. This cross
cut will be run to tap another vein of the
mine, which on the surface is sixty feet from
the main shelf. The veins dip toward each
other, and they are expected to meet at a
depth of about 100 feet. The ore-body in the
main shaft is free-milling in character. and
the average assays have been over $40 per
ton in gold, while as high as 5000 per ton IN
gold has been obtained. The gold, IN quail
ty, is 500 fine. The systematic opening of
the Boulder mine is developing a valuable
mining property.

The Benton River Press says of the Barker
mining district: Ten days of warm weather
in the district has lessened the depth of snow
from five feet to one foot. AT a meeting Of
the miners it was agreed to consolidate the
towns of Leadville and Galena into one and
give it the name of Measher City. The lots To-
Gated in both towns, under the new name, will
be subject to relocation, as there was no sur
vey or plat made last fall" Many of the lodes
in this district are opened we'll enough to JUS
tify the erection of a smelter of a capacity Of
reducing forty tons of ore daily, and asmelter
is to be put up this summer.

LAND SLIDES.
The 'rOuble Oh the Northern Pacific.

The Yellowstone Journal says that much
trouble has been experienced this spring
along the line of the Northern Pacific by the
land slides along the river in the badIands,
around which the railroad has been graded.
At one place near Iron Butte the grade has
slid for the length of a mile or more into the
river one hundred yards, the whole face of the
mountains seemingly to have broken loose.
How to successful y get around this difficulty
is now p~uzzling the brains of the surveyors,
but so far they have arrived at'ne satisfactory
result. The land slides and washouts will be
much worse when the June rise comes. and
it will without doubt ruin many miles of the
road bed where it passes around the bad
lands on the rivers edge.

Lively Outlook For Our Euterprisins
Northern ~Neishbor.



iIr. Fred. Mcconnell, general western
agent of the Union Pacific, with headquarters
in Salt Lake City, returned yesterday from a
five weeks trip through Montana, in the
course of which he visited Butte. Helena,
Bozeman, Deer Lodge and other points. His
trip was undertaken for the purpose of look
ing up the freight interests of his road in that
territory, and of course in pursuance of his
object he had occasionto make the acuuaint-
ance Of and consult with the leading mer-
chants, mine owners and mill-men every
where.
In his trip Mr.. Mcconnell closed up many
contracts between these men and his compa-
ny by which the bulk of the Territorial bus
mess, so far as freight shipments from the
east are concerned, will be carried OH over
the Union Pacific and Utah 4 Northern
roads.
Up TO five years ago 30 per cent. of this
business tell to the Missouri river lines. but
with the advantages of the railroad in Mon
talia, and by the policy pursued by this com
pany, and their methods of doing business,
the former condition of affairs has been prac-
tically revolutionized.
Mr.. McC onnell found the business outlook
in Montana remarkably promising. Helena
is looking toward the successful development
Of her mining interests, as an important fac
tor in her success and permanent import
ance. Her mines are all doing well, and
many new ones are being developed.
Butte, the great mining city, is improving
in importance steadily and is in many respects
the most promising city on the coast. 1t is
probable that the number of stamps of the
Montana mills will be doubled within the
next year. In this respect the relation of the
Territory to Utah is an important one, as she
is now a consumer to the extent of 5000 tons
a year of salt, imported entirely from this
Territory.
The agricultural interests, too, are increas-
ing, the acreage this year promising to be
much larger THAI ever before. Immigration
is already beginning to pour into the Terri
tory from here lstern bord ers.

BELL.

OF the Bell mine nothing particularly new
is to be reported. The public, through the

machinery works very smoothly. The
amount of ore hoisted daily averages about
30 tous. No increase of water above the Or
binary head, is noticed in this mine.

The steam hosting machinery at the Gold
ell Rule mine works well. Only a few barrels
of water are hoisted daily. Running of lev
els east and west from the main shaft, on the
vein, is under good Roadway. The east level
is in ten feet. The west level has advanced
twelve feet, with the ore vein widening at the
end OF the level. Yesterday one sample from
the dump pile assayed 1l3 ounces in silver
and $35 in gold to the ton, and another assay
of the first-class ore showed 595 ounces in
silver to The ton.
