that it is expected by Receiver Brown to

any of the Browns or Bonnells, they hav-
ing sold all the stock held by them to II.

of Mahoning Valley Iron Company and

therefore in no wise affected by the failure

CLENDENIN, November 80, 188;

CLENDENIN, November 80, 1883.
Editors of the River Press:
The closing down Of the Silver Belle
mine and the .Clendenin smelter at this
place has for the past few days cast q
groom over the camp, but happily the
arrival Of Mr.. I'll. ID. Burghardt on the
last coach has raised the cloud, and the
faces of the miners are once more agloW.
Mr. Burghardt has effected such arrange
ments with the First National Bank, of
Helena, as will enable him in the course
OF few weeks to start the mine and fur
mace in full blast. Your correspondent
has made particular inquiries of most all
the miners that worked in the Silver
Belle mine, and they all unite in saying
that the mine never looked as we'll as it
does at the present, and that at their
least estimate the blast furnace can be
run on what ore there is in sight for at
least fifty days at Il profit Of $1,000 per
day 1t will be necessary for short de-
lay before starting the blast-say about
three weeks-in order to get sufficient
coal to make a run. The miners here
are all willing to aid, and have the ut
most confidence in Manager Burghardt's
ability not alone to pay all indebtedness
but IN the near future to make the COM
pany he represents paying dividends.
The dead work has all been done and
now nothing remains but to shovel the
carbonate ore into the cars and draw it
to the smelter. The picture for Barker
is not SO dark as some of the territorial
papers would choose to have it; and
neither is the assignment of F. w. Reed
& Co., as the Benton Records interview
with one Graham would indicate.
took occasion to call upon Mr. Mcqueen,
the assignee, and obtained the follow
ing facts 1: The firm owes Mr.. Graham
the large SUM of S31.75 instead of $1OO,
as stated in the Record and never at
any time did he refuse credit to those
having money on deposit in the store.
He further states that the liabilities of
the firm are ia round numbers, $25. 900 !:
the assets-stock in store-$37, 600; book
accounts, $4,000.
At 10 time were there any threats
Of violenee proclaimed against Mr. Emu
cry at this place; we have good law
abiding class of citizens here, and it is
safe to say that nine-teaths Of all the PED
ole here will welcome Mr. Emery, and
be glad to see him back among us sools
and established in his business here.
AS evidence of good cheer, the A. o.
7. w. lodge gave the grandest ball, last
night, Of the year. All the dancing peo-
pie turned out and had general good
time. H.

N ew Turf Circuit.

Montana turfmen will read the follow
ing, which comes from Salt Lake, with
interest: "a turf circuit, to be called
the Rocky mountain circuit, is in pro-
cess of organization, with a capital stock
Of 100000, half paid in. The money
will be used for the purpose or purchas-
ing land and building houses and tracks
at the various towns in the circuit, which
will include Helena, Butte, Denver,
Pueblo, Omaha, San Francisco and 9TH
er towns that hereafter may be decided
upon. Horses going east from San
Francisco in the spring will be able to
take in the Rocky mountain circuit, and
returning from the east will be enabled
to join in the fall meetings. So, also,
horses coming from Omaha and the east
in the early part of the year will be able
to enter the Rocky mountain circuit fol-
the spring races, and returning from the
coast will be able to take part in the fall
meetings.n

The young people of the city were
much surprised Monday on learning
that Miss Mamie L. Hepler and Mr..
john 6. Vawter were quietly married at
six o'clock in the morning and had left
on the Helena coach. The Reverend
Jacob Mills performed the ceremony at
the residence of the brides father, Mr..
Henry Hepler--LMis Mamie was noted
fnBentenfor her vivacity and amiable
disposition, and all Of her many friends
will regret her loss. Mr.. Vawter is a
young man of good business qualifica-
tions and now holds the position of
freight agent for the Northern Pacific
railroad at Little Blackfoot station. The
happy couple are as yet undecided as to
whether they will make their home at
the latter place or in Helena but the good
will of their many Fort Benton friends,
including the RIVER PRESS, will follow
them wherever their abode may be, and
wish for them many years of happy
married life.

much begged to be excused, and Mr..
Malcolm Craik commenced long ac-
Icount of the early history of the Sun
River -four mill. Being informed by
the grand recorder that it was stock and
not flour to be responded to, sat down.
1.-THE Montana jack rabbit" Before
the toast was fairly out of the mouth Of
the toast master. Judge J. E. Lippincott
was on his feet-I should say on his
chair-and demanded that he and he
alone should be permitted to respond.
For three-quarters Of an hour he dilated
upon the value and habits of this noble
animal Of the prairie in manner so
eloquent as those acquainted with the
judge only are aware.
"The ladies Of Sun River" Respond
ed to by Ben Steele.
"Our food" This awoke responsive
chord in the heart of the president, Mr..
T.. S. Wells, who responded in touch
ing manner by informing the club that
he spent his entire salary and all he
could borrow in endeavoring to obtain
good and fattening food, but up to the
present time was unsuccessful, as his
shape would prove.
"Our Beer" Responded to by Fl.
Maloney
To the last toast Of the evening, "Our
town." every member was anxious to re-
spond, but the president selected Mr.. D.
B. Hall as the one best calculated to
handle the subject, whereupon Mr.. Hall
arose, and for thirty minutes held the
club spell-bound while he informed
them that towns were his hobby, and
dwelt upon his experience in all parts
of the world, gathering statistics of
towns but no town had he ever seen SO
fourishing and promising as Sun River.

Marlas Pass.

Thepass through the main ridge of the
Rocky mountains, at the head waters of
the Flathead river en the west and the
Marias on the east, has been explored
this summer by Prof. Pumpelly in the
interests Of the northern transcontinen-
tai survey. He left the Flathead about
eighty miles above the lake and entered
gorge walled in by rugged precipices
thousands of feet high and terminating
in sharp ridges and pointed cones. This
led up to the summit of the pass where
three main canyons come together, and
from which may be seen dozen high
and rocky peaks. About fifteen miles
to the west was observed mass of
snow-covered mountains, OH whose side
is living glacier about mile in width
and some 500 feet of perpendicular
height, and from beneath which flows a
milky-white stream of glacier water.
In the grand canyon in which this gla-
cier lies were observed twenty-five falls
and cascades over 500 feet in height
and ianumerable smaller ones. On the
eastern side, in descending the Marias.
the canyon is bounded by the most lofty
and rugged precipiees. The pass is !. 500
feet above the level of the sea, and the
scenery is declared to be superior,to that
of the famous YelloWstone.-Th West
Shore.

Patenting Mines.

The Mining and Scientific Press prints
some sensible suggestions in relation to
the patenting of mines, which we quote
for the benefit of mine owners IN north
ern Montana: $50 much has been said
about the benefits Of patentlng mining
claims, that it would seem that all the
miners would recognize them. 1t is
fact, however, that too many neglect
this important duty, and when the
time comes when they have an oppor-
,tunitv to sell, it it is lost through neg
lect Of ability to guarantee title. A gov
eminent patent is accepted as guaran-
tee Of good title. Before it can be procur-
ed certain forms haveto be gone through
and adverse claims settled, so that q pat
ented claim is free from all possible legal
ENHANCEMENT, SO apt to encircle those
which have been put to the test So
well are these facts recognized by ex-
perts and capitalists, that very good
mine will often be refused if not patent
ed. The parties whe buy unpatented
mines now, insist on retaining part os
the purchase money until the patent is
forthcoming. And this is not more
than just. If there is any flaw it will
come out during the patent application
proceedings, though none may have
been apparent during many years of un-
disputed possession. Instances are so
numerous where flaws have appeared
that purchasers are not safe unless they
protect themselves in some way like
this. Every miner with claim worth
working ought to consider it worth pat
enting. A good mine with poor title
is not an enviable property; better have
a comparatively poor mine with good
title. A man with promising location
which is patented will stand many more
chances Of seeing it sold than one of
which he has merely possession title.
These questions should be considered
seriously by all miners, who, while de.
veloping good property, should see to
it that they perfect good title also.u

Accident on the Wickes Branch.

HELENA, November 30.-Last night,
about s o'clock, while the locomotive of
train loaded with ties was resting on
the track at q water station, about one
and half miles north of Jefferson, a
very sad accident occurred by which
two men, the fireman and brak keman,
were severely cut up and manned. The
fireman, D. J. Sullivan, young man
probably. twenty-five years OF age, was
engaged at the time Of the accident
cleaning out the ashes from beneath the
locomotive, and Geo. Riley, the brake
man, probably twenty years OF age, was
standing on the top OF the tender, filling
the tank, when car loaded with ties,
which had broken loose from train
that was being switched at jefferson,
came rushing down the grade at a fear
full speed and struck the locomotive.
Sullivan, who was underneath, had his
left foot cut off at the ankle Joint and
his right leg crushed below the knee.
George Riley was thrown from the ten
der and had his right foot cut off below
the ankle Joint.

Maiden.

DR.. Turner and Chet. Fowler are just
in from Maiden. They report that the
late cold snap froze the water in the
fiume that runs to the Collar mill and in
consequence the works were forced to
shut down It is probable that the mill
will not start up again until spring opens,
when there will be no danger OF their
water supply being cut off by the frost.
Five bars of fine silver bullion had been
moulded from the late short run when
they left the camp weighing about 1000
ounces each. The assay value of this is
not known but it seemed to be eminent
ly satisfactory to all the parties inter
ested in the enterprise. Miners will be
kept at work all winter developing the
Collar mine and taking out ore for anoth-
er seasons run by the mill. The mine
is turning out some very rich ore ana
some fine specimens were exhibited to
the RnntOn travellers.

The Tillinghast Failure.

The community was shocked, says a
Chicago correspondent, by the failure of
FL. c. TAlinghast & Co., dealers in hides
and furs, and the business world trem-
bled at the fall of q house SO long estab-
lished and apparently so prosperous.
The liabilities are now stated at a little
less than $500, 900; the assets are an an
known quantity though the impression
prevails that they will not pay Is cents
ON the dollar The failure is due to
three causes outside speculations, the
firm being ginterestingi in mining, the gen.
eral depression of trade, especially the
depression following the great failure in
the east i'm the same lire of business, and
the sickness for months of the head of
the firm and his family. The failure an
"honest one'' beyond the shadow of
doubt, and the creditors will realize ev-
cry dollar the estate will produce.

Thanksgiving evening, was complete
success in every particular. The attend

the first word of anything but praise for
the performance of the musicians. The

Attempted Robbery.

MEMPHIS, December 1.-At Corfnth,
Miss, one hundred miles east of Mem
phis, on the line of the Memphis &
Charleston railway, a daring attempt
was made at o'clock this morning to
rob McWilliams, the Southern express
agent. He hadjust placed in the safe a
large sum of money received few min
utes previous from the east bound train.
when suddenly masked man entered
the room with a drawn pistol and de-
manded the safe keys, and. without wait
ing for a reply fired on McWilliams.
The ball struck four inches below the
right nipple. McWilliams threw
lighted lamp at the robber, drew his
pistol and fired three shots at the mask
ed man, but with what effect is not
known
