Samuel Word, r. Of w. A. Of the U.
and N. Railway, has closed the right.of-
WAY question in the vicinity Of Deer Lodge.


Trade Il stead;tv improvinp. and the inn.
movement NAV h.. attributed. to a vreat de.
rre.. to tht. DISPLAYS of new spring goods
at the stores and skops in town. People
hoard their money until they see something,
either useful or ornamental, that suits their
fancy when they let 60 of their boarded
cash freely and without sigds Of regret.
There has been no notable changes in the
nrices Of table ,,rovisions in the Dillon
market for the closing week. There is a
full SUNNY Of raw material for making sub.
stant;oi rruh m hand. Epus and butter
are scarce. Luxuries like ripe oysters,
fresh mushrooms, green peas, and spring
chickens are not on sale In this market.
Car loads Of lead. silver bullion from the
reduction works of the Montana Company
at Wickes leave the Dillon depot frequent
w. Two cars of this base bullion LEFT ON
Thursday for the East. Since January
about two hundred tons of Wickes bullion
has passed through Dillon. a low esti-
mate OF this bullion places Its volue at near
ly $Ioo,ooo.
Sands & Boyce, at the leading dry goods
emporium of Butte, are daily exhibiting
the finest assortment of dry goods to be
found in Montana, The long experience of
this firm in the dry goods trade and its es-
tablisl,ed connections in the East, enables
1t to keep ahead of any firm in the Terri
tory In all the latest styles offered IN the
dry goods market.
Rather old. We received, YESTERDAY, BY
y. S. mail, copy OF the San Francisco
.Sxuduy Chronicle Of Nov. 20, 1881. The
paper must have been doing missionary
work among the cannibals OF the South Sea
Islands or been ON trip enlightening the
heathens OF the flowery Kingdom Judging
ny its tattered ana soiled appearance, but 1t
several months too OLD tor our use.
A misplaced switch, between the depot
and water tank, threw part OF last Mon
days south bound train off the track. The
engine, tender, postal, express and passen-
ger car were thrown off the rails. AS the
train was running at slow rate at the
time Of the accident no damage was sus-
tanned to persons or property further than
delaying the train couple ut hours.
The lIecla Company owns twenty mines
ON Lion Mountain and in its vicinity-fit.
teen OF which are patented properties. The
Company's leading mines are the Atlantis,
True Fissure, Sheep. Silver Quartz, John
Thomas, Cleopatra, and C,cve. The Cleo.
patra shows the largest body Of pay ore at
present. The pay ore in the Cleopatra runs
from ten to twenty five feet in thickness.
The rrape.yine order in relation to a re-.
duction of ten per cent. of the monthly sal.
aries OF the nanipulators OF lightning along
the railway line turned out to be one Of the
objectionable canards that will creep into
conspicuositv occasionally in spite Of the
best efforts Of truthful men. There is to be
no reduction, and the ope, ator, who earns
all he gets, reposes quietly oyer the fact.

Oar correspondent at the Tidal Wav.
District, in Madison County, saws that tl.e
boys have concluded 10 name the town oi
the district "Owlville." Don't do it. There
. is something in a name. An ugly name
is neither inviting or captivating and an ow
is teathered mons,rosity with few friend,
and no admirers. Select another name, fol
Owlville sounds to, sleepy tor the Tida
