MULLAN
The Construction Of q Track Over
the Grade to be Commenced
Immediately.

In his speech at Ming's Opera
House in Helena, Monday night,
President Willard, after referring to
the obstacles which have been en-
countered in prosecuting the work at
Mullan tunnel, said: II am pleased
70 say, and I have no doubt you will
be glad to know, that from my per-
sonal investigation on the ground
and my conferences with the con-
tractor and the engineers in charge,
I am satisfied that the tunnel will be
successfully completed by the first of
August next. At the same time, in
order to make assurance doubly sure
in order to guarantee, so to speak,
to you and to the rest of the commu-
mites lying along the main line, the
connection with the rest of the
Union which they have been hope
fully looking forward to for so
many years, I have to-day author
lied and directed the engineer in
charge here to commence at once the
location and as speedily as possible
the construction of an overhead line
switch.back Uncover the Mullan
tunnel. You know we have an over
haed line over the BOzeman tunnel.
It appeared to me a good thing, first,
in Older to assure the connection of
the two ends Of the main line within
the time that has been announced,
that is by the first of September next,
and secondly, with a view to giving
tourists an opportunity of seeing the
grand scenery in passing ove the d.
vide from the Atlantic to the Pacific
side, that such an overhead line
should be built"

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Engineer Duffy Run Over and
Crushed to Death by a
Loaded Car On the
Gloster Tramway.

One of those accidents which can
be avoided only by the exercise Of
the greatest caution and close adher-
ence to the strictest rules prohibiting
pedestrians from using the elevated
tramways SO common at mills and
mines, occurred at the Gloster 20
stamp mill last Monday. John Duffy,
engineer at the mill, was crossing
the tramway on his way
from the engine house to
his dinner, when he was
overtaken by a loaded car COM
ing down the grade at fearful rate
of speed, which was almost upon
him before he was aware of its ap-
proach. He hurriedly attempted to
get out of the way, but slipped and
fell. He was struck heavily IN the
groin and the loaded car passed over
his thigh, crushing and mangling it,
and inf1icting internal injuries from
which he suffered excruciating agony
until relieved by death. A ply
sician was Immediately summoned,
but arrived only in time to see the
sufferer expire. The deceased was
a steady, industrious mechanic and
much respected by the community
in which he lived. He leaves an
aged mother in Indiana who was
dependent upon his earnings for sup
port, and about whose welfare he was
chiefly concerned during his dying
moments.

Skipping the Rope.

Since the advent of spring the
craze of the children has been rope
jumping, and q favorite amusement
of the little girls is in trials of en-
durance by seeing which can make
the greatest number of jumps without
stopping or breaking down. Parents
see their children come into the
house evening after evening, from
an afternoons play, with their blood
heated, their tender nerves excited
to the highest tension, and after a
fretful hour retire to bed with throb-
bling heads and aching limbs. They
call it ~"exercise," but it is not health
full exercise except in modera-
ton. Several cases are reported
of sudden death from overtaxa-
ton of the physical system
in this apparently innocent amuse-
ment. 1t is true that in each Ease
the children were not naturally
strong. But If the practice kills q
delicate child, it certainly cannot be
very beneficial to q robust one.
Physicians agree that violent exer-
else Of this kind is more likely to in
jure the undeveloped constitution of
a little girl than it is that of a boy.
Girls need plenty of exercise, but OF
a more healthful sort than that of
rope jumping, and parents should see
to it that their girls find recreation
and exercise in some less violent and
exhaustive play than skipping the
rope.

Beef.

It has always been the boast in
Montana that her people had better
and cheaper beef than any other part
of the world. The railroad, which is
a great equalizer and distributor,
must inevitably change this condi-
ton ; but there are others causes that
must put our butchers and consum-
ers upon inquiry in regard to the
supply for the immediate future.
The Husbandman, which makes a
speciality of stock and agricultural
interests, in its issue of May Sd, says:
The beef product of Montana will
fall far short this summer of what 1t
was last. Many of our best posted
cattle growers estimate that the sea-
sons shipment will not reach last
years figures. by 50 per cent. Ihls Is
principally due to the exceedingly
large loss of calves during the hard
winter three years ago. Nearly all
of the fall branding and a considera-
BILE number of the spring branding
perished that winter. The usual age
of marketing beeves has been at four
years old, but the good prices last year
induced most stock-grOwers to sell
their three-year Odds. This yield
was, however, light, owing to the
black leg, which played such havoc
among the calves the year previous
to the hard winter. Next year, how:
ever. the harvest will be good, and
confined largely to four-year Odds, as
extensive growers have learned that
thew commit an error in marketing
their steers before they reach that
ace. as there is great outcome in
t6ree-year Odds, besides at ag1 o.
four they are better fitted for we
market"

Standard Gauge.

Among the many things to be
avoided by our farmers and stock
growers is the introduction OF mar
row-track vehicles. Our roads have
been broke by standard guage wag-
ons. and the man who finds himself
on them with q narrow track vehl-
Gle. will find that he is in the wrong
wagon. There is no danger OF u
old. reliable dealers trying to intro
duce narrow track wagons, bug
gies or buckboards, but they
have come along with the railroad
and been sold second hand to farmers
in the vicinity of the line, and new
dealers in railroad towns keep them
in stock, and the unsuspectlng may
find himself in possession OF one OF
them without being aware OF it. Lei
everyone, therefore, who buys q We
hicle of any kind, whether from q
dealer or secondhand, be sure that
# il not q narrow track. They are a
great nuisance on u roads, ana q

ANOTHER TRAMwAY HOR-
ROR.
Thomas Coleman Crushed to
Death BY an Ore Oar at
Lion City.
Special Q r,e~pondence of the MINER.

Special corr . poudence of the MINER.
GLENDALE, M. T., May 4.
1t is only three weeks since the
killing Of one man and the serious
wounding of another occurred on the
tramway between this place and
Lion City, and now we have to re-
cord tho death of another man Under
very similar circumstances OF the
concentrator tramway at Lion City.
This tramwaY is built on aheavy
grade, and descending cars travel
with terrific velocity. It's entire
length IL enclosed in q shed. Last
Saturday Thomas Coleman was riding
a loaded ore car down the grade
at the usual high rate of
speed, when the car ran through a
switch and jumped the track, throw
ing Coleman against the side of the
shed and crushing his body between
the a and timbers. Both legs were
broken, his thighs crushed and man
gled and several ribs broken. The
unfortunate man fingered in great
agony until 7 O'Clock last night, when
death put an end to his sufferings.
The switch had been left open by a
careless workman, which caused the
accident. Coleman had been here
but a short time and nothing is now
known of his relatives. He came
here from Nevada where he is suppos-
ed to have q wife and family.

The Game Law.

Wild ducks having been offered
for sale in the market during the
past few days we are requested to
publish the law which prohibits the
killing of certain game between May
LIST and August 18th. The following
is section six of.the act, which covers
the whole ground:
AN ACT to protect game, fur-bear-
ing animals and fish:
SEC. 6. That any person or per
SOL who shall wilfully shoot, or kill,
or cause to be killed, any wild geese,
or wild ducks, between the first day
of May and the fifteenth day of Au-
gust of each year, shall be deemed
guilty Of a misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction thereof, shall be fined in
any sum not less than ten dollars nor
more than twenty-five dollars for
each committed.

The Missoula Stampede.

From a gentleman just up from
Missoula we learn that about 200 men
have passed through the town of Mis-
soula, some of them going through
in the night, in search of the new
placer find. Although nothing def
mite is known in Missoula about it,
our informant is of opinion that
something has been found. The OPP
orator at Crows Nest. a station on
the Military Telegraph line, about
100 miles west of M;ssoula, on the St.
Regius, sends word that Barney
Hughes, one of the discoveries of
Alder Gulch, has been in the Coeur
d'Alenes for the past two or three
years, and is confident that he has
it at last. The locality of Barney's
find is about forty miles north of
Crows Nest, which would place it
in the vicinity of Lake Pen d'Oreille.
An old-timer. hearing that they were
reporting diggings by telegraph, be-
came intensely Disguised, and said 1T
was time for him to be getting out of
the country.
Barney Hughes is well known to
many people of Butte, is an indefa-
tigable prospector, inaugurated q few
stampedes in early days on the
strength of his having been one Of
the discoveries of Alder Gulch, and
is said to be inclined to be sometimes
sanguine of diggings where they do
not actually exist. Last fall he came
into Flathead Reservation, renewed
his early acquaintance with Major
Peter Roman, and got a supply OF
provisions to take back with him into
the Ceur d'Alenes. The stampede
may lead to some incidental discov-
cry of value. A stampede to this To-
cality in 1865 led to the discovery OF
Washington, Jefferson, Bear and
Deep gulches and Elk Creek, and
there is a good deal of country in
Western Montana that has never yet
been explored.

,Hurdy Houses.

Attention is called to the fact that
ahurdy house is running in Butte
and that it furnishes an appropriate
occasion for the exhibition of jour-
nalistic wrath. 1t seems rather to be
amatter that should arrest the atten-
ton of those in official position,
whose business it is to see that the
laws are enforced. Sec. 2O4, 4th Divi-
sion, Criminal Laws, says: 1T shall
De unlawful for any person or per-
sons, within the Territory of Mon
lana, to conduct or establish, or cause
to be conducted or established, any
dancing saloon or hurdy-gurdy
house." The fine is 500. While the
law does not undertake to ~legislate
good morals into any community, 1t
~endeavOrs to some extent to remove
de%bauching influences. 1t is true
mat an infraction of this law has
been winked at in portions OF the
territory, on the theory that the
money that gave vitality to such
places came from outsiders, chiefly
Dull-whackers, and that it was desira-
ole, in the interest oflocal prosperity,
mat this money should 60 into the
general circulation. There are not
probably any great number of citl-
zens of Butte governed by such q
code of ethics, and none of them will
probably stop the officers from doing
their duties.

Miss Sallie HOsmer.

It affords us great pleasure to an
nOunce that Miss Sallie H0smer will
give select readings Tuesday even
ing and Friday evening next week.
Miss Hosmer will be assisted in her
entertainments by the best musical
talent, both vocal and instrumental,
in the city, and will offer to the Butte
public the finest literary and musical
treat eve presented to it. The
young lady Is not a stranger to old
Montanians. Indeed they claim her
as one Of their own, and they will
not fail to recognize in the beautiful,
cultured lady Of to-day, the bright
eyed, witty, intelligent and warm
hearted Sallie Hosmer, of lang
syne. Her father, Judge Hoe
mer, is we'll and favolably
known by thousands Of "old timers"
who esteem him as a gentleman
Of unimpeachable integrity, and as
possessing literary merit of a high
order. The Judge is the author of
the novel, "The Octoroon," from
which the popular play of that name
was dramatized before the work left
the hands of the publishers. We be-
speak for Miss Hosmera generous re-
ception at the hands Of the Butte
public. The young lady has a host
of friends here who will avail them
selves Of the opportunity of seeing
their favorite Of other days in the
role which her accomplishments and
high culture enable her to sustain
with eminent success.

Athlatic Tournament.

The tournament tonight promises
to be the most interesting yet given
by Jack Waite, the heavy weight
champion. L. P. Kerns has accepted
Waite's offer of S25, to any man who
will stand before him three rounds
with hard gloves, Queensbury rules,
and Peter Gillespie has accepted the
offer of $25, to stand up before him
four rounds with soft gloves. Cussick
and Mcdonald, who have already
made a reputation in the ring, will
wind up the tournament with a hard
glove contest.
