Time for Prospecting.

When a mine is found and proves
to be valuable, most men have a
feeling that they would like to have
an interest in it, and very often for a
very small interest men will pay
large amounts of mont y. Mines are
found by prospecte re. AS a rule
prespectors are the poorest OF men.
With scanty food and clothing they
go into the deep hills and out of
hardships which ordinary mortals
cannot comprehend, sometimes bring
discoveries so vast that in their wake
cities are built and thousands and
tens of thousands of people relieve
benefits. Prospecting is an accom-
plishment which very few men under
stand, and which comes from a gift as
distinct as the gift to paint a picture.
The editor of the Salt Lake Tribune
says he has often been astonished
that men at large have not organized
to procure mines in this way instead
Of the usual way until a mine is
found, and then paying big prices for
small interests which cannot give
the purchaser any voice in the man
agement. If four or five men would
organize and incorporate a company,
each put in a few dollars and pur-
chase q summer outfit for a couple OF
thorough p]rospecters, their chance
would be even to have by fall a valu-
able property. 1t was in this way
that the rich men of Colorado OBJ
tanned the nucleus of their fortunes.
The same thing has been done over
and over on this coast, and it is alto
gether the safe and sensible plan.
We call attention to it, for this is just
the time of the year when such en-
terprises should be set in notion

TIE ST RIKERS' CASE.
Tho Prosecution Fail to Make Out
q Case Against Frank
Proctor.

The case of frank Proctor charged,
with malicious mischief, in tampering
with the wires of the Western Unien
telegraph company, after being con-
tinued twice at the instance of the
prosecution, on account of the alb
sence of witness Frank Marsh, came
up for trial in the probate court yes
terday afternoon. A large plumber of
witnesses were examined with a view
to establishing the fact that the wires
had been tempered with, but as their
testimony was very conflicting and
there was absolutely nj evidence to
connect Proctor with the alleged dis
arrangement of the wires, he was
discharged from custody. The result
proves the frivolous character of the
charge as claimed by the MINER in
its inception. The county has been
subjected to an expense of about $l25,
which the taxpayers will pay, but
the injury done to the reputation of
deserving young man by his incar-
ceration in the county Jail and
smirching his character by unjust
and groundless suspicious. can scarce
ly be recompensed in dollars and
cents.

Equal to the Emergency.

One of our gorgeous bibitory pala-
ces was the scene OF q characteristic
incident last night. C-who is noted
for his bloviating tendencies had met
an old friend who had known him in
better days" and was telling him
about the strike he had recently
made in his extension of the famous
Cable mine, some rich placers in
which he owned a third interest and
a $3.50, QUO quartz sale which he was
about to conclude. The eyes of his
old friend glistened with expectation
as he listened to the glowing recital
of C-'s successes, and edging up to
him confidsntially he whispered,
"say CT haven't had drink to day
cant you set EN- up? C-hesitated a
moment, and then said: "Certainly,
wine it you want it," striding up to
the twe-bit bar with the air of a mil
lionaire, at the same time clutching
the last quarter he had in the world
convulsively in his breeches pocket.
But he was equal to the emergency.
Calling for "whisky straight" he
poured out a f%our-finger drink, threw
the water from the side glass over his
shoulder and deliberately emptied
into it half of his own drink, which
he politely passed to his expectant
friend. They drank in silence and
departed together. The barkeeper
hasn't quite got the thing figured out
vet.

The Circus.

The circus was scarcely as well at
tended yesterday as on the day be-
fore, but it is safe to say a profitable
business has been done in Butte and
the management will carry away a
satisfactory number of shekels. Du'-
ing the matinee yesterday afternoon
a wind storm came up which for a
time seemed to threaten the destruc-
ton of the entire canvas. A momen-
tary panic was created but before the
immense audience had fairly stam-
pcded, the storm abated and order
was restored. Cd John Robin
ION has given US a good
show and left a favorable impression
upon the public. He is the pioneer
exhibitor of menagerie in Montana
and has brought to the Territory the
first elephants, camels, zebra, giraffes
and many other animals, which ever
set foot upon Montana soil. When
he comes here next year he will be
surprised at the increased population
and will be literally patron!zed by
the public who will bear his great
show in kindly remembrance.

Weary Amid the Glitter.

A lady whose husband held one of
the highest places in the Govern
ment stood in her magnificent home
attired for her weekly reception.
"How gladly would 1 give up all the
finery, show, and insincerity of this
public place, andg 70 back to the rooms
I lived in when we were first mar
ried. I would throw my silks and
diamonds away, and set down to my
supper of chiPbeef and tea at sunset
and afterwards take q long quiet walk
with Will, and rest on the stump in
the moonlight, and tell my little
plans for the future, and what 1 had
done every hour while he was away,
and knew we were alone in the world
loving only each other. Those days
seem like days in heaven. I work
new harder than a slave; often three
hundred calls to return in a week;
receptions or parties every night; see
the same people, hear the same talk,
eat the sane things, come home dis
gusted, wonder what l am living for
and where 1 will go when I die.
Bette, / must have HOn.-and
Secretary-here tomorrow; I must
get their influence; you must talk
music to the secretary, and yon must
ask Hon.-about the mon0lith-the

Help, influence, pewer-a smile in
my face, interest in my manner, liv-
ing q lie, feeding my soul on husks."

An Important Invention.

Our attention has been called to an
invention patented by Thomas J..
Taylcr, of this city, Ito use on blast
furnaces to- arrest dust and vOlatized
metal. The inventor claims that
draft draws all light substances from
circumference to center while the air
forced through the dust chamber
throws all matter from center to cir
conference, and that by the peculiar
shape Of his invention all matter
heavier than the smoke is forced to
the side of an arresting chamber,
where it is saved. No difference is
made in the feeding of the furnace
except the charge carries more moist
ure, which it is claimed makes q saw
ing of five per cent. in the fuel, while
the steam from the same graduates
the volatized metal which falls back
on the coal. The lower section of the
furnace being larger than the arrest
ing chamber causes the dust to fall
directly on the coal. 1t is also
claimed that ore properly prepared
will not lose n per cent with this
attachment. The cost of placing the
invention on a furnace is about $500.

On the Trail.

Passengers from Deer Lodge report
that news from Deputy Sheriff Nc
Tague's posse indicates a probability
of the capture Of tho road agents
who robbed Sundays stage. They
had discovered the camping place of
the bandits where the treasure box
and mall pouches were found broken
and cut open and rifed of their con-
tents. A passenger on the robbed
stage had been able to describe one Of
the robbers by a sea on his nose,
through the wind displacing his mask
for an instant, and a clue had been
obtained to the whereabouts OF a man
answering the description kiven by
the passenger. It was believed in
Deer Lodge that the robbers had been
10 .ated and their capture almost GER
tain.

AT Deer Lodge the hospitable citi-
Gems met the excursionists with
their excellent brass band and the

to the base ball contest the attrac-

of Twins lake divided the attention
Of the excursionists. A large num-
Der, however, assembled on the base
ball grounds, back of the college
building, in the afternoon to witness
the base ball game. The contest
turned out rather q one sided affair
and was devoid of special feature al
though the batting of McAuliff, the
pitching of Moffitt and Cowan and
the catching of Carson, McAuliff

THE FALL RACES.
Public Spirited Cooperation and
Liberal Purses Needed to
Make them Success
full.

The next meet of the West Side
Racing Association will probably be
the most Interesting event that has
ever taken place under the auspices
of that organization. This is partly
due to the success Of the July races,
which Is an exhibition of fine stock
and in the large number Of closely
contested events, far surpassed any
previous meeting on the West Side
course; but the principal Influence
which will contribute to the success
of the next meeting is the increased
general interest among our people in
the great and rapidly growing stock
raising industry. The importance Of
these racing events, as a means of
bringing large numbers of strangers
to eur city, furnishing a natural
impetus to local trade and as q means
of fostering and encouraging the
stock interest in the region contigu-
Gus to Butte cannot be too highly a.
timated. In Kentucky, Indiana
and other sections where great atten-
ton is paid to the improvement of
breed in horses, as much encourage
ment is given to the races, as is accor-
ded to the county fair in agricultural
sections. Public-spirited citizens
contribute libera;iiy to the purses, in
order to present inducements for the
entry of the best horses and insure .
large attendance of spectators. Such
contributions are we'll invested, as
the large number of strangers who
are attracted to the city 10 e the
races, by the patronage they bestow
upon every class of business, repay
with ten field Interest the expense
incurred by the citizens in providing
the attractions. It is a well-knOwn
tact that the entire responsibility of
management, of providing attractions
and Of pecuniary loss. in the last meet
of the West Side Association fell upon
the shoulders of one individual.
Aside from the injustice of asking
any single citizen to assume the
pecuniary responsibility of an event
in which the entire business commu-
nifty are equally and generally inter-
ested, the executive management OF
the voluminous details of such an
event is too much to put upon one
man. An association should be
formed among our business men
to provide liberal premiums for
the fall races, and to
divide among its members the details
of ma nagement. Until some sach
move is made, it can scarcely be ex-
pected that the West Side racing
events will prove financially success
full or that the city will be greatly
benefited by the large number of
strangers in attendance. Let a move
be made at once to provide liberal
purses for the fall races. A promi.
nent mining man has already guar
ranteed miners purse Of $5O0. There
should be a hotel keepers purse Of
$500, a livery mems purse Of $500. a
merchants purse of $500, and q sa-
loon mems purse of $500. Let these
inducements be offered and the best
horses on the Coast will be entered
for the races, aud the city will he
crowded with strangers to witness
their exploits on the West Side track,
who will spend a thousand dollars
with our business men for every dol
lar contributed to the purses.

Spring.

Spring, gentle, touchful, tuneful,
breezeful, soothing Spring is here.
1t has not been here more than
twenty minutes, and my arctics
stand where I can reach them In
case it should change its mind.
The bobolink sits on the Eastwood
vines and the thrush in the goose
berry tree is AZ melodious as q hired
man. The robin is building his
nest, or rather her nest, I should say,
perhaps, in the boughs of the old
willow that last Summer was busted
by thunder-I beg your pardon-by
lightning I should say. The speck-
led calf dimes teat-a-teat with his
mother, and strawberries are like =
bald-headed mans brow-they come
high, but we can't get along without
them.

gentle Spring than I am now. 1t

Courtship In New Zealand.

The method of ''courtship and
matrimony" is q most extraordinary
one; so much so, that an observer
could never discover that any aftec-
ton existed between the parties. A
man sees a woman whom he fancies
he should like for q wife; be asks
the consent of her father, or, If an
orphan, of her nearest relative,
which, if he obtains, he carries his
intended" off by force, she resisting
with all her strength; and as the
New Zealand girls are generally
pretty robust. sometimes q dreadful
struggle takes place; both are strip
ped to the skin, and it is sometimes
the work of hours to remove the fair
prize a hundred yards. If she breaks
away, she instantly flies from her
antagonist, and he has his labor to
commence again. W. may suppose
that, If the lady feels any wish to DO
united to her would-be spouse, she
will not make too violent an oppo-
sition; but it sometimes happens that
she secures her retreat into },er
fathers's house, and the lover loses
all chance of eve obtaining her;
whereas, if he can manage to carry
her in triumph to his own, she inn
mediately becomes his wife.

was gone much longer than nsual
when a member Of Mr.. Roberson,s
family went to ascertain the cause
ond found him in tho water wneie

water until he became 80 weak th y
he could rot get out, aithougn :

was found was but two and . nal1
feet: He was quite an aid man, Delhg
