Another Death.

Henry Archer died in one of the rooms of
the Record building Saturday morning at six
O'Clock. The deceased was a comparative
stranger in Benton, and the circumstances
connected with his death are distressing in
the extreme. He was an Englishman by
birth, of good family, and by profession a
civil engineer. A little more than a year ago
he imm,grated TO Canada, where soon after
wards he enlisted as a Mounted Policeman
and last spring came to the Northwest. On
account of disease he was untitled for the
service and received his discharge almost i'm
mediately. The government gave him a re-
turn passage to Canada, but he never got
further than Benton. After spending all the
money he had here, be obtained employment
in different capacities, but being i'll, was un-
able to retain q position of any kind. For
some weeks he hung around the saloons, be-
ing scantily provided with food and clothing,
and being too proud to beg be actually suf-
fered for the common necessities of life.
But when his condition became known he
was provided with q room and properly cared
for by generous citizens. Had his wants
been known sooner his career might not have
ended so untimely.

"A Sta bling Affair

Majors cattle train pulled out of town yee-
terday evening and camped last night On the
Teton. About nine o'clock at night two of
the drivers, George Gregg and G. P. Daven-
port had some words IT sulling in the former
stabbing the latter in the left side with a
large pocket knife, ipficting an ugly and
dangerous wound. Gregg was drunk at the
time and from what we can learn attacked
Davenport without provocation. The wound
ed man was brought to town about one
o'clock this morning and is now at the Cen
tennial hotel. Gregg was also brought in
and is lodged in Jail. DR.. Turner at
tended the injured man this morning. He
informs US that the wound is q very dan
gerous one, the blade passing between the
ribs just below the heart. If it had entered
an inch higher death would have resulted
instantly. Davenport has been in Benton
for some time and only yesterday hired to
Major to drive cattle.

The Bark err Bullion,

Prof. Foss informs US that tblrty-tive tons
of bullion were turned out by the Smelter the
first rum. Inasmuch as a goodly portion of
the ore was second class, used to secure a
large share of iron and lead for flux, the val
ue of the bullion exceeds Mr.. Foss' expecta-
ton. The silver and lead together give it a
value of $500 to the ton. He has three car
loads weighed out, having the following test
value in silver: First load, 172 ozs.; 2nd,
1876 ozs.; Sd, 1856 ozs. Another run of sever
al tons will be made next month.

velopment having fully paid all expenses,
an aggregate sum Of more than 500. 600. This
is an unprecedented record. We believe
there is not another mine in the Territory
that from the very beginning has paid for
the work done upon it. 1t should be remem-
bered that the w. s.. E. is not yet developed;
the tunnel to tap the vein is not nearly CON-
pleted and the mine is not being worked to
produce ore but to put it in proper shape for
future operations. When considered in this
light the fact that it has already brought the
company a revenue of more than $40, 900 is
simply marvellous and without a parallel in
mining history. Supt. Larkin informs us
that the mine is showing up better every Gay
and there is no doubt but it will prove to be
one of the best properties in the Territory.

SALEM, Mo-, Feb. 2, 1882.
Mac Waterman, Esq.
DEAR DIR IL write you to say that you
are not forgotten and also to thank you for
the advice you gave me regarding my trip

duce also the market price Of provisions
and groceries, and the wages paid for labor,
both male and female, for mining and other
work. | have a colony now of over one
hundred and seventy-hve persons who are
going vita me to Montana in the spring.
In three weeks more | will have " hundltd
and fifty. There is a perfect stampede from
southeast Missouri for Montana. One COM

rs you have and can get reg riding the mines,
sou and advantages OF cattle raising state
also the character of the past winter the
present condition Of the weather, etc. The
people that are coming with me are hard
working farmers and mechanics. The most
OF them will bring teams, wagons, and some
blooded horses and cattle. 1t | had time and
a little more money | could send q thousand
Immigrants to Mon ana this season. I am
met every day by men whe are eager to OBJ
lain information regarding Fort Benton and
Mon'ana in general. The Holiday RIVER

heie, done a great deal to stir up an interest
and create an excitement about Montana.

ny for freight as the railroad has offered me,
/ shall come by river all the way to Benton.

themselves TO the new conner will cause me
to lose a great many that | wish to take to
Benton.

LOST In s
Unidentified Evidence that lanes Keeean
has been Lost and Frozen to Death
In Rels Park.

Intelligence was received in Benton yes
terday that James Keegan, road supervisor
of the Barker district, has been lost in the
Belt Park twenty-one days and the facts con-
nected with the case 60 clearly to show that
he has been frozen to death or in some other
a small party of men were engaged in cutting
logs in the vicinity of the Park and about
three weeks ago he went to the ranch of
Stellbras and Wells to grind his axes and Sc
cure his mail. That night he stopped at
Wallace Bells ranch and next morning
started for his own ranch in the Park, about
three or four miles distant. That was the
last that has been seen of him. His partner
supposed he had gone to Barker and Was
not alarmed by his absence, until, four d VS.
ago, when his axes and mail pouch were
found in the snow about q mile and a half
from his ranch. Then diligent search was
made, bus at last rerort no trace of the miss
ing man bad been found. It is considered
almost a certainty that he was lost in a snow
storm not far from his own home and per-
ished either by starvation or freezing. Kee-
gan was weak-sighted and the probability is
he became snow blind before losing his way,
as he was very familiar with all parts of that
country. We learn from ]. j. Murphy. who
arrived from Barker last evening, that q
party of twenty men are now searching for
his body in The Park. no one hoping to find
him alive. JAS Keegan was one OF the active,
enterprising citizens OF the Barker district
and his death-if such is his fate-will be
deeply deplored by all.

.sBarker Is u Coming Butte.'

The Inter-M Mountain of last week contained
a long letter from a Barker correspondent
giving an interesting account of his trip from
the silver city to Barker by the long and ted
ious route via Helena, the White Sulphur
Springs, Judith Gap, etc. The writer has a
good opinion of the camp, as will be seen by
The following extract from his letter
The camp is situated about go miles from
Benton iu u southeasterly direction. There
is a good road here from Benton which was
built by the public spirit OF her citizens. The
camp Is best reached via Benton, fare from
there acre being $12. The camp is situated
on bo,h sides OF u densely wooded gulcn, ex-
tended some Two or three miles. The situa-
ton is sheltered and picturesque. There are
about $50 houses and probably 200 men in
the camp at this time. The smelter of the
t;lendenin Mining and Smelling Company
was constructed with all modern improve
ments, under the able superintendent OF
Prof. Foss, and is in full running order.
There are about 400 tons of fiDe ore now in
the smalter ready for reduction. There are
now but two developed mines in the Camp
the Wright & e iwards and the Barker. From
these there has been taken 9 large amount Of
high grade galena ore. Developments have
been commenced and some good ore extract
ed from the Boss, Queen Of the Hills. Pitts
burg, Grey Eagle and some others. The
leads that have been discovered and not
vet developed are almost without number.
Between one and two thousand locations
have been made, most of them showing good
ore. The camp is quiet now on account OF
a considerable fall of snow but the prospect
for the coming spring is very fatfering. both
for the mines and all Incidental industries.
Barker is a coming Butte.
