ness.
NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The dispatches TO
DreusTtets TINS week from the principal
.raue entries OF the United States reveal a
more active state of general trade consequent
upon the prevailing cold weather. Wheat
has been dull throughout the week. The
market is entirely free from speculative ma
nhpulation OF pr ices, and exporters seem TO
DC awaiting the movements of the foreign
markets. Corn has declined in consequence
Oh increased receipts at the West. Bankers
mention thc appearance of some bills In the
market against the export Of provisions.
winch Is the more notable on account Of the
TACT that there have been scarcely any before
Tor several months The iron market this
week continues weak. More steel rails
nave been contracted for at $40 per ton, and
oius nave gone as low as S39 Tank and
par iron are notably week and quotations
are lower. Pig iron, west of New York, is
on about 81 per ton. Western iron manu-
iacturers, however, state that the outlook
Tor new business is more encouraging than
lot several weeks past. Ocean tonnage is
chartered ahead till March and rates are firm,
Coal Is In steady demand and is being apidly
distributed, but orders are not crowdip9
90 much as week ago. The difficulty
seems TO be the question of rates between
now aud spring. Petroleum has been ex-
cited, but has retracted over two cents on
the day, although over one cent higher than
at the close, December l. The wool trade
has continued very quiet and as usual ON a
slow market; the situation, as regards
values, has favored buyers. There were 247
failures in the United States reported during
the past week. the largest number for any
one week Of the past two years, 61 more
than the preceding week and rs more than
the corresponding week last year.

RETIRING OF GOV, POTTS,

The commission Of Governor Potts ex.
pires on the I3th Of the present month. II
Is stated, on what Is deemed reliable auth.
GRITTY, that the Governor Is not candidate
for re.appointment. Gov. Potts has been
Governor If Montana for twelve success.
i've years. and his administration has been
an excellent one. 1t has met with the ap.
proval Of the people. A small squad OF
dissatisfied Republicans has, at times, will.
fled the Governor, but their villifcations
went home to roost every time. The efforts
Of the tiny hanmerers to crush the Gov.
ernor were like baby blows delivered on
the head Of giant. Steadfast. honest and
punctual in the discharge of official duties,
Governor Potts will retire from the Execu.
tive Office Of Montana with a record hon.
orable and creditable. No Governor of
Montana, for even a short time, has filled
the Office SO acceptably to the people as
Governor Potts has done. When he re.
tires he will take with him the great re.
spect and high esteem Of the mass Of his
fellow.citizens Of Montana.

LAYING OF THE CORNER. STONE.

The laying of the cornerstone Of St
James Episcopal Church, in Dillon, on las,
Saturday, July LIST, was conducted by Rev
E. Gregory Prout Of Virginia City, Rev
c. O. 1illotson, Of Butte, assisting. The
congregation assembled in the Methodist
Church, and from there proceeded to the
foundation Of the new Episcopal Church
where interesting and impressive ceremo.
niles, especially prepared for the occasion,
were he'd. A sealed tin box, containing
copies of the Dillon TrlBUNE, the Madseo.
SiaS, the New Testament, a copy Of corner.
stone services, and a brief history of the
Church and work in this parish, was placed
In niche cut In stone, over which the
cornerstone proper was placed. Rev. Mr..
Tillotson, in brief address, urged the
building Of churches and defeating them
to the worship Of God Rev. Mr.. Prout
spoke Of the religious Significance Of build.
ing churches. The choir rendered a beau.
tiful dedicatory hymn, when the blessing Of
God, the Father, was invoked on the edi.
flee wherein He will be honored and wor.
SHIPPED In the future. Another church has
been planted in Dillon. It will be erected
as speedily as the material can be provided
and placed In position.

THE ExCELsIOR MINE TUNNEL.

Several years ago Phil Shenon, Of the
Bannack. Marysville District, started tun.
mel from the west side OF the mountain, Ia
tap the celebrated Excelsior gold mine,
from which he had taken large amount OF
the precious metal. The tunnel had been
driven by Mr.. Shenon. ut intervals, for
distance Of over two hundred feet. This
summer Messrs. Brannagan s: Wallace,
with other mines, bonded the Excelsior.
and commenced driving the tunnel ahead
again. The work has been enerQeticallv
pushed forward by these gentlemen until
last week when the connection was made
BY the tunnel tapping the old workings Of
Excelsior mine. THIS tunnel opens the
Excelsior in such manner that the mine
can be worked to the b~st advantage in the
future. The rich iron vein, by means Of
the tunnel, can be prohtably operated. The
tunnel, which is over three hundred and
NIFTY feet in length, has cost between 5000
and $1,000 The completion Of the tun.
mel enterprise will insure the opening Of the
Excelsior mine deep, as soon a. sinking
operations are resumed.

ORE IN SIGHT IN A NINE.

The way to determine the amount Of ore
In sight In mine Is to measure the cubic
contents Of a block of ground exposed bv
shafts and drifts. For example,: A shaft
Is sunk 100 feet and drifts run on the vein
for like distance. If the vein is exposed
on the surface, SO that sample can be taken
the three sides Of the block can be measured
and assayed and the quantity Of ore comput.
ed. 1t Is usual to deduct one third of the total
thus obtained for pinches or barren spots
on the vein. Some engineers insist upon
an exposure on four sides, and then make
q smaller allowance for shrinkage.
