The Hartford Herald prevents the
facts when il says there are &c Demo
cratic papers in The State that will
not support Capt. Henry. Three OF
the papers namcd-the Louisville
Post the, Coyingtcn Commonwealth
aud the Somerset Reporter-ars
counted twice. Or the other twent,
named, two-lha Kentucky relephon,
and the Union Incal--are misrcpre
scented, as both Of them are supporiin,
Capt Henry. Seven OF the other
are not on our exchange list and W
don't know whether they are op
posed to Henry or not, but graniin.
THAT they are, the Herald has mis- stat
cd the facts BY five papers. We def
il 10 prove ils assertion that there ar,
25 Dcmocralic papers that will no
support the party nominee.

very faint resistance from the same
source two years ago in our strnggle
for new postofiice at this place; they
made very feeble effort to ,leride
those who Endorsed our petition with
the vain, simple delus.on that il d
postoflice was established that a tax

The following communication from one
Of our most esteemed citizens is wor-
thy of careful consideration:
Editor of the Billings Herald
BILLINGS, July 10TH 1882. - Permit ME
through your esteemed columns to
say that in many places in town
in half built houses, there are piles of shaw
ings which have been left on which drunken
men and wandering arabs are nightly sleep
ing and smoking. \ dangerous practice
yon will admit. Our prosperous city
though III her infancy is in danger every
night of having a fire as big as that before
which Moses was ordered by the Most High
to take off his sandcls. Having no water or
other special means of extinguishing fires
it behooves us to be careful. l have known
Oh some occasions when men would carry
their neighbors' shavings and burn them in
order to avoid danger and in many cases
the same carless man would leave others in
a similar manner. ] think some organi-
zation should be formed that would compel
careless men to do what careful men are will
ing to do. People from the Black Hills
tanl that is about three fourths of Billings)
will remember how many families were left
in Deadwood without houses or clothing
through the carclcssness of Mrs Elsoner of
the Star Bakery.
Iouis Respectfully,
WI. WATTS.

reached the shaft, and ore can bc got out
at very little expense. Stock Of this
mine is now being placed in the mar
kct. Over 900 shares were taken by
the people of Maiden. Mr.. Theodore
Vosberg, their financial agent, leaves
here this evening for the cast, to place
the remaining stock on board. Machin-
cry for this mine is expected here in
the latter part Of August, when the mine
will be in full operation. They will en-
ploy about 300 men, and will pay out
here about $50, 600 per month. Among
the noted discoveries is the Northern
Pacific silver mine, The groupings of
this mine loom up to about $50 per ton
ore-purc mining silver ore. This
is found on +. the side hill of
the largest mountain in the
gulch. The owners struck the lead
a few days ago, and are now sinking a
shaft. Parties here from Benton have
offered S25 per ton for the ore found in
the groupings. The mine is owned by
P.J. Gessner, 7. NJ. Trudell, @. Andcr-
son, A. +. Tullock and Ch. Rhods. For
the present these men will operate the
mine alone, and arc not now prepared
to say whether they will form stock
company. The best mining authority
we have in Montana declares this the
richest lead that was ever struck. AS
the shaft is being sunk, great devclope-
ments are expected.-[Pioneer Press

IL CANT, :
SAGE CREEK July 5th. 1882.
We are now 157 miles from the n p r. r.
| and We arc told that it is still 20 miles to
| Fort Benton, so you sec our first estimate
of225 miles was pretty correct. None of us
complain about the work not being hard
enough. One night last week three of our
tents blew down, one standing, the rain fell
and the wind blew, so we could not raise
! the tent again. Some of us went into the
fourth tent, but few preferred the pure
air. l improvised Il shelter with the
tlraughting and kitchen tables, and crawled
under with my wet clothes on, and slept 4
few hours in very cramped position.
Then the wind abatcd, and at $50 in the
morning raised our tents again. The kit
chen was sight to behold-mustard, salt
pepper, sauce. oatmeal, bread, meat, &c,
&c. in one mess. You may be sure we did
no work in the field that day, but slept
This morning about three was awakened
by q loud noise of wind and rain. Expo
riencc caused me to call the boys at once,
and they all rose quicker than they are
wont to do for breakfast We dressed, fas-
ened the tent as securely as we could, and
went to bed again. The wind does blow
terribly sometimes. When We were at
work close to the mountains hardly dav
passed without rain storm or wind storm.
The Judith Basin is the best country
through which we have passed, and the
best land is close to the mountains. Be-
sides, the nearest timber is in the Snowy
and Bolt Mountains. There is some little
cottonwood timber in the valleys
The water is better as you get nearer the
mountains. That is the great trouble with
this country, poor water. These hot days
we miss the good spring water that one
finds in the east, The snakes hayjgall dis
For the first month hardly a
day passed without our killing several 1t
would be very nice to be sick and be

about Aug. 1st.
