THE MuLLAN TUNNEL.
Progress and Method of the Work.

Special Correspondence NeD North West.
MARYsvILLE, NJ. T., March 7, 1Ss2.-The
Mullan tunnel was in go feet on the 4th inst,
and the rock getting softer. Twelve blasts
let off at one time keep twenty men on two
shifts twenty-four hours to clear away the
debris; by that time the compressed air drills
have made the holes ready for another blast
Ia the header, bench and mucker. The pat
ent Burleigh drills are used up to eleven feet
long. They are made like cross bits, going
through one foot of rock in five minutes.
The holes made by them range from six to
eight feet deep, into which several sticks Of
eight-inch Giant powder are put. Three
drills are used, and another will be added as
soon as the new IS horsepower boiler now
being received can be placed in position;
also the electric light, the engine for the
same is already up. Northern Pacific sur
veyors are now locating the line down the
Greenhorn and Seven Mile gulch, with ITO
feet grade to the mile. By April active work
may be anticipated at the west end of the
tunnel, and also at the shaft where sag in
the mountain on the west side Is said to favor
its construction. The boiler now In use at
the tunnel il to be used at the Carbon Moor
coal mine, where work has been suspended
on account of water and the lack of sufficient
steam power to take it away. w. III.

CAPTURED BY CREES.
sheirr HeaIy and Two OF His Deputies In
UnfriendIy Hands.
Independent, 9Th.

About Ave weeks ago John j. Healy, sher-
IN of Choteau county accompanied by Depu-
ties Joe Healy and JEFF Talbert, left Benton
for trip to Milk river, where it was report
ed that a number OF half-breeds from across
the. line were trading with the Indians con-
trary to law. Nothing had been heard from
the three men since until yesterday morning,
nj which time a telegram was received here
from Poplar river lold Fort Peck stating that
Healy aud his deputies had been captured on
Milk river last Friday by party OF about
hundred Indians and half-breeds tribe not
stated, but believed to be Creesl. The news,
it's understood, was brought TO Poplar river,
n distance of 100 or 100 miles, by a half-breed
whom Healy had prevailed upon to perform
the service without the knowledge OF the re-
mainder Of the Indians.
From the character of the dispatch IL Is APP
parent that Healy considered himself and
oompaniops In a.tight place, which is suffi-
Client evidence of the seriousness Of the stu
alton, "a Healy is not man to magnify the
danger of his own position. 1t Is impossible
TO give full particulars Mt this time, az the
various points autographed TO last night could
furnish us nething In addition to what was
contained In the first dispatch.

Sold His Own Cattle Twice.
From the Butte Inter Mountain


Geo. Lee Is q man who for some time past
has been ranching in the vicinity of Warm
Spring creek. A few days ago, 1t Is said, he
conceived the idea Of going to the States. and
In order to raise the necessary funds, he de-
cided to sell q herd Of cattle, which he had
little trouble in doing, to the proprietor OF
one Of the Butte meat markets. But it seems
that the money realized from the sale was
not enough to pay the expenses Of his pro-
posed journey, and as he had no mere cattle
to dispose Of, he concluded to sell over again
some Of those which he had already transfer
red to the Butte man. This highly original
conception he speedily executed and pocket
ed the cash for seven fat beeves which did
mot belong to him. By some means, how
ever, the details Of his transaction leaked
out and last night the constable from Warm
Spring precinct arrived in Butte and placed
Lee in custody. This morning be was taken
down the valley and will soon have : chance
70 prove himself innocent Of the crime ~
loGsd.

The School Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the teachers
and pupils Of the public schools last Satur-
day night at 0'Neill's Hall was quite well at
tended and gave excellent satisfaction. A
number of the rectalions were excellently
rendered, among those especially worthy of
notice being " The King of Denmark's Ride
" The Wreck of the Hesperus," and Betsy
and / Are Out" Several of the wee ones
were cute and amusing in their little speech
es, and won as much applause as those of n
larger growth.
The school papers were better than the av-
erage productions of the kind, several of the
articles being quite well written. The music
was highly appreciated by the audience, the
vocal duets esp ecially receiving much we'll
merited praise. Altogether, the entertain
meut was very creditable 10 the participants
and will encourage attendance at similar per-
formances. The receipts, which were fairly
satisfactory, will be appropriated to the pur-
chase of a library for the public schools, a
very laudable enterprise. Another similar
entertainment for the same purpose will be
given some time in the future.
