my neck.
"Dear old fellow r. she said.

me, Dick, and tell me again that

Bozeman Courier: An important
transfer Of mining ground, in Emigrant
Gulch, Of ld0 acres Of placer, has recent
ly been made by Messrs. Edwards &
Harper. formerly Of the Black Hills A
ditch ten miles in length, 1lx2x4 feet,
and to carry 1000 inches Of water, is
now being dug, and operations will com.
mence az soon as water can be brought
on the ground. The ground is very
rich and will be worked with giants. A
saw mill is now on the way to the gulch
from the east. 1t will cost SAC, 900 to get
in readiness for mining, but the owners
are confident they will be able to take
ont between s. 0OO 600 and $4,000 the
first season. The ground was purchased
by Messrs. Doty, Gliddon, Campbell,
anG Shatfer for the sum of $3l 900.
Emigrants' Gulch was one Of the first
mining camps in Montana, and yielded
rich returns on placer works until tho
Indians raided the camp and forced the
miners to flee for their lives. Since then
the camp has been deserted and the
cabins have crumbled into decay until
hardly vestige of the ruins remains.
There io quite stretch Of agricultural
land on either side Of the Yellowstone
river at this point, principally on the
northwest, which is we'll watered and i'm
fair stage Of development. In fact,
Paradise Valley, rs it is called, is tho
finest agricultural land on the Yellow
stone, and if the old mining camps are
to be restored at Emgrant Gulch, Bear
an Crevice, supplies would be of easy
access.

president OF the English Cottage hospi-

police made a search of his premises,
spending number Of hours in the work.
The revelation they say are altogether
too horrible for publication and consti-
tute one Of the most startling disclosures
in recent criminal annals. They found
IA large supply Of obscenity in the shape
Of pictures and other material, together
with the names of several hundred
women belonging in Boston, Lynn and
numerous other places all certifying i'm
a highly singular and original manner
that the owners of the said names had
been the doctors victims in the NAL
practice line, with the day and date Of
action. The police say that they are
satisfied that there are 800 of these
names. Notwithstanding the damaging
evidence which the police have against

The planet Venus on last Wednesday
passed between the earth and the sun
for the first time since 1874, and for the
last time before the year zoos. The
planet has for some time been brilliant
in the evening sky As she swung
round her orbit she rapidly ncared the
line between the earth and the sun, set
ting closer behind her fery lord every
evening; and when the transit occurred
she appeared as a small spot upon the
suns bright disc, moving from edge to
edge in about six and half hours-from
8 a. m. until 3:2l y. m. A transit Of
Vents is do to !le simple fact that her
orbit about the sun is inside that de-
scribed by the earth. If her orbit were
III the same plane rs that of the earth
there would he a transit every time
Venus completed her revolution in re-
spect to the earth. But sometimes she
passes above and sometimes below the
sun, and the transits are rare events, oc-
curing in pairs, eight years intervening
between those of a pair. The pairs are
separated by pairs alternately of 1862
l2lI years. This transit was the second
of pair, the first Of which occurred in
1874

A special in the Pioneer Press in
speaking Of the admission bill SAYS
'The republicans in both houses now
have greater reason than eyer for press
ing the passage Of the bill this session,
as it would probably not be passed by
the next congress, with the house dem
ocratic by over sixty majority. For the
next two years the senate will be repub
lican only through the grace of two
Readiuster senators from Virginia, but
two Dakota senators would just offset
the two coalition senators. should there
be any attempt on the part of the latter
tn make bargain with the democrats
The admission of Dakota would also
give the Republicans three additional
votes III the electoral college, which
from recent events it is thought very
important they should have, and which
the democrats can prevent them from
having if Dakota is not admitted this
winter. II is therefore exceedingly
probable that there will be a bitter fight
on this bill the coming session, requiring
the presence ofevery republican senator
and member in order to pass it."
