THE EASTERN CAMP.
The New Smelter for the Barker
District.

The last Fort Benton Rirer Press says ::
We are informed through letter from Col.
Clendenin that the new smelter will be 40
tons capacity, ami the machinery will be
driven by a fitty-bursc power engine with
two boilers, and will be accompanied with a
circular saw mill. 1t will be under the man
agement Of a practical smelter and assayer
from Salt Lake This Will be everything for
the camp, and for the poor men owning the
leads, who will be able to realize something
from their property. 1t is highly inlportan.
that the smelter be kept constantly running,
in order to be a paying institution, and 1t
rests upon the men owning lotles to take out
all the ore possible III order to further the
project along. Upon its success, in a great
measure. depends the success of the camp,
and IA failure upon its part would set it back
indefinitely, and we hope, therefore, that all
interested will work with will to Get the
ore.

TFrom Fridav'S Daily |
A RENEGADE.
Capture Of A Notorious Squaw Man

News has been received from Fort Walsh,
B. G., that the notorious Charlie Thompson,
the ex-mounted policeman and the squaw
man, who has been following Sitting Bulls
band for some time, is now in Jail at Wood
Mountain. He forged check upon another
man named Thompson and had it cashed at
Leighton and Jordan's trading post at Wood
Mountain, where he was arrested by the
Mounted Police. 1t will be remembered
that General Terry recommended that the
attention Of the Canadian government should
be called to the conduct of this man in in
nuencng Sitting Bull against surrender
last winter. Thompson is worthless fellow,
who, by adopting the Indian mode of life
even to the breech-clout, has attained certain
mschievous influence over Sitting Bull. For
tunately he is now out of the way, We hope
for a good long time.

THE NOBLE" LO.
The Impudence Of the Red Skins.

The dirty, thevins redskins, who ar. the
recipients of so much sympathy from the
down-east philanthrophists, are source of
constant and dangerous annoyance in many
sections Of Montana. The Benton Record
thus relates an exploit Of band Of 'noble"
red fellows: ga little more than week ago
Lawrence Carson, one Of ClcndenIn's wood
choppers, was cooking his dinner i'll his cabin
some distance from the wood camp, when the
door suddenly opened and mob of Indians
entered the room. They were travelling
afoot, were fully armed, and evidently meant
business when they demanded food in the
peremptory way they did. Carson lost no
time in dividing what lie had in the cabin
with them, ana seeing that they had no in
tention of leaving, concluded that was no
place for him, and skipped out. This was
nuts for the Indians, who cleaned out the
cabin of everything of any account in it.
There was eighteen in the party, and it is al
most certain that they were the thieves who
ran of Clendenm's horses.''

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Children Buried i'm the Ruins Of u
Falling Building.

JERSEY CITY, July 1s.--Shortly after
noon to-day terrible accident took place
at the corner of Brunswick and Second
st reefs A few weeks ago Smiths kindling
wood factory, on Brunswick street,
was consumed by fire. An adj
joining frame house was partially
burned at the Same time, and since
the fire the children of the neighborhood
have been in the habit of removing loose
timbcrs thcrcfrom and taking them home
for fire wood, thus weakening the building
and leaving nothing of the first floor except
few uprights upon which the two upper
stories rested. This afternoon the usual
number ofchiidren were under the middle of
the building, when, without any warning,
it fell with a crash, burying about twenty
boys and girls. An alarm of fire was
sounded, and the fire department responded
promptly, and set to work rcscuing the
victims. Up to this hour the bodies of two
children have been removed, Catharinc
Griffin, aged eleven years, and Thomas
Shomon, aged seven years. 1t is hoped
these are all the victims. Great excitement
prevails in the ncighborhood.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., July 1s, 1881.
Editor of The Erening Critic:
In common with my entire circle of
friends and acquaintance, all of whom
have expressed without a single dissenting
will their best wishes for the proposed
musical jubilee, l wish to add my express
sion of admiration for the scheme originated
by you. There is no reason under the face
of heaven why our National Capital should
not furnish the grandest musical jubilee in
honor of our President, whose recovery
from the fell assassins bullet flls'the heart
of the Nation with u deep, religious joy.
No filter place could be selected and no
more suitable date than that which you
suggest the 10Th of November, the natal
day of James A. Garfield. God bless him
and prosper the suggestion of THE CRITIC
A pENNsYLyANIAN.
