Northern Gold Fields.

A new mining district, of unprece-
dented richness, has just been dis
covered in Northern Montana. 1t
comprises both placer and quartz dig
gings. The placers produce about
$40 a day to the man, and the quartz
assays IN high grade silver from
$1,000 to $4,000 per ton, and is free
milling. The gold quartz has not
opened very extensively yet, but
enough TO know its true value. The
best developed mines are the Chollar
and Montana, both of which now have
over 500, 900 on the dump waiting
machinery. The principal town is
Maiden, situated at the head of
Warm Creek, about four miles from
Fort Maginnis, and town lots have
advanced in value from $50 to $1,000
within the past two or three weeks.
There is now in the place about 100
business houses and enough saloons
and other things usually found on the
frontier for a city of 10000 in the
East. They have one good hotel over
100 feet long, and this and all others
are crowded. Carpenters get 50 per
day, miners IS and So, and common
laborers 81.

Looks brighter.

There is no denying the fact that
the mining and business interests of
this section have for several months
beon, not only very dull, but dis
couraging. And this has been the
condition of every mining section of
the State, if we except Eureka. With
the opening out of Spring, however,
the general gloom IS being dispelled,
and our own, as well as other sections
of the State, are putting on a more
lively and business-like appearance.
With us, our principal mine, the
Star, is 0 in better condition to be
successfully and proftably worked
than at any previous time in its his
tory. During the past Winter many
difficulties had to be overcome in
sinking the main shaft in this mine
chief among which was the INSULT
cheney of the pumping machinery.
Now 4 depth of go feet has been
reached and a new level started and
run some 30 feet at this depth. About
30 feet will tap the vein, which
on the Lowell above was very rich. Be

this new level opened out, and will
put beyond all doubt the rue value
OF the mine. II Is true all this could
and should have been done months
ago, but the Directorate nj the Bay
have been lacking in enterprise and
energy.
The Teaeup people are also pros
peeting their mine, with every indi-
cation Of being rewarded for their
outlay. When they do find it in the
Teacup, it's rich enough to gladden.
the heart.
The Exchange, we are reliably in
formed, will oon resume work under
new management; and the Egan
Company, though with diminished
force, are still pegging away.
From Silver Canon come the It'd
ings that an important strike has
been made IN the Sadie l. tunnel,
which viii no doubt result in eonsid-
cradle work being done IN our sister
camp during this season.
The old mines ri CentreYille, mid

A Good Place for work and Wage.

William Sutcliffe, formerly master
mechanic of the Nevada Central rail-
road, writes favorably from Corpus
Christi, Texas, where he is nov en-
ployed as master mechanic Of the

his letter he says: II have been here

Where 10 Find the Comet.

The astronomer of the New York
Sun gives the following directions to
those who desire to find the comet:
Late in the evening, say about IL
o'clock, you will see pretty well up
in the northeastern heavensthe bright
star Vega, in the Harp. 1t may be
certainly recognized by means of
two faint stars close by it, with which
it makes a beautiful little triangle.
The comet is almost on a line drawn
from Vega to the Pole star, and you
can find its place by noting that it Is
below and a little to the left of the
Head of the Dragon, which is marked
by a lozenge shaped figure lying a
few degrees north west Of Vega.

1t took Jack and the sun two weeks
to arrive at tho conclusion that he
voted in favor of extending the life of
the infamous lottery schemes in Wy
oming because he believed that Presi-
dent Garbanatti, of the council, was
actuated by personal spite in trying to
have the anti-lottery bill passed. IL
any one who is not informed as to the
state of the lottery business and its
corrupting effect in this territory de-
sires a statement of the facts, let him
ask for them of anyone, democrat or
republican, who watched the proceed
ings of the council of 1879. 1t will be
found that a dozen men knew before
the session began that the bill was to
be introduced, and that it met the
approval, on its inpSuction, Of the
bulk of the community. Can any
evidence whatever be brought that
| Garbanattf was animated by per-
sopal spite? Would it not be
strange, indeed, if Jack Medium
stood out boldly with hardly any
support against the passage Of the
bill, il it was the product Of spite work
and nothing else? The situation was,
according to history and Jacks friends:
Bogus lotteries licensed by law and
ho~urishing all through the territory, a
large majority in the two houses Of the
legislature determined to put an end to
the robbery and disgrace, a lobby work
ing for the lottery members, some of
the members holding shares in the lot
terry and working for the interest of the
thieving lottery dealers, and Jack Mel
drum manfully voting to keep up the
schemes which were defrauding the
public, because some one friendly to the
anti lottery bill was moved to its sup
port through personal spite.

1t is generally admitted now in rail-
road circles, and stated by those who
claim to know, that Superintendent
Law, of the Wyoming division of the
L. p, has rendered his resignation,
having done so on the occasion of
President Dillon's arrival from the
south and passage west, some days
since. And it is likewise generally
admitted i'll railroad circles and stated
by those who claim to know. that Mr..
Law was persuaded to do so by an
offer of a much more desirable position
on the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
road-that of general superintendent
of the entire c. b. 81 Q. system, a
position only second to that held by the
efficient general manager, Mr.. Potter.
The @. b. IS @. IS one Of the healthi-
est railroad corporations in the coun-
try, and one Of the most independent.
1t is extending its system toward all
desirable points, and will, at the pres
cut rate of growth, have 4 system as
extensive as that of the Union Pacific,
and it will be readily seen how much
more desirable aud important the posi-
ton of general superintendent over
such a system would be TO the one of
general superintendent Of the Wyom-
ing division of the Union Pacific. The
choice of Mr.. Law for this position is a
very lattering recognition of his abili-
ties, which must be as pleasing to his
friends as TO him.
There are several names mentioned
as probable successors of Mr.. Law, and
the list includes superintendents Egg
bert, Dodridge and Dickinson, with
odds in favor of Mr.. Dickinson, who is
a man much older in the employ of the
road than either Of the others. Col.
Fishers name is also mentioned, and
it is not improbable that he may sue
coed Mr.. Law. He was known to
have started on a business trip TO New
York, and meeting the Dillon party in
Chicago, all of his plans were changed
and he accompanied the party on their
way to Colorado.
These are but s~peculations, of course,
for the ways Of the Union Pacific rail-
road, like the ways of Providence, are
past finding out, but they are the gossip
which we pick mp here and there
among those who know as much as the
next one about the plans OF Sidney
Dillon s. Co.

Speaking of a collision which oc-
CURED on the Utah Northern railroad
on the goth, the Blackfoot (ldaho)
Register says: &C. M. Brannon, who
was head brakeman on No. 5, was
standing in the gangway Of the engine
and was not so fortunate. lie was
told by the engineer and fireman to
jump, but whether he did or not they
cannot say. He was found lying on
his face a few feet from the engine,
and dead, although not badly bruised,
and is supposed to have been hit in the
back. He was formerly or the Lara
mic division of the Union Pacific. "A
few weeks work will repair the en-.
igines, but the young mans life car
never be reclaimed. Who was to blame
we leave to the management of the
railroad to say. We can only say We
don't know"

a,eidrum's Vote.

"The vote (Meldrum'sl on the famous
lottery bill was cast as it was to avoid
what appeared to be a move to crafty
a personal spite, which had nothing to
do with the merits Of the bill. Boom
eraug, Tuesday,
This is the clearest and most explicit
explanation which has been made of
the vote that jack Medium cast
against the bill which was intended to
wipe out the swindling lottery business
that was carried on in Wyoming prior
December, 1879. He would not vote
for it because he believed the motive
which prompted its introduction was
personal spite. 1t may be supposed
that Jack, if he ever attained a seat in
congress, would vote against all bills
aimed at crime, if he had some reason to
believe that the motive Of their trainers
was not perfectly unseltfsh. The coun-
try might be disgraced, the people cor
rupted, crimes go UNPUBLISHED, but, if
Jack was not satisfied as to motives, he
would have no laws passed for the
common veal. The statesmanlike
breadth of tits conception Of duty is
so commsndable that Jack should be
allowed to stay in his beautiful home
for some years to turn it over in his
mind.
