WEATHER PROVERBS.
The War Department Reiaxes into Prov
cribs and Poetry.

Decidedly the most popularity interesting
publication that comes among the Pub.
Docs" this year Is No. TX of the "Signal
Service Notes." entitled weather Prov
erbs," for copy of which we are indebted to
j. H. Jones, observer in charge, Helena,
Montana. 1t is a collection of signs and
sayings concerning the weather ELECTED by
request sent to persons all over the country
by General Hazen, Chief Signal Officer, U.
S. A. 1t is a volume Of l4S pages, prepared
under the direction of Lieutenat Dunwoody.
and is published by authority of the War
Department. 1t gives in verse and prose
thousands of proverbs of how to prognosti-
cate the weather and almost everything else.
We believe If "A man would study them all
carefully and observe the signs as they occur
he would have all kinds of weather At once
As collection of odd sayings about the
weather 1t is a quite interesting curiosity, but
as an official publication of the War Depart
ment il strikes one as bordering on the ridic-
ulous. We believe, however, 1t will prove
as valuable rs the average Pub. Doc. and Is
certainly more interesting to the general
reader

in supporting well the good companies billed

PENITENTIARY CHANGES.
L. @. Creel Appointed Warden to Succeed
Colonel Botkin.

On Monday of this week Colonel w. w.
Botkin, Warden of the Penitentiary, received
orders from his brother, U. s. Marshal Bot
kin, relieving him from duty and appointing
as temporary Warden Mr.. Z. G. Creel, for
merly of Keokuk, Iowa, but for a year past
resident of Butte and Deer Lodge and for
some time past guard in the penitentiary.
We have no doubt Mr.. Creel will make a
very efficient and humane Warden, his rec
ord in the prison and in business being first
class. We congratulate him on the accession.
Colonel Botkin, who, with the exception
of fifteen months, has been Warden since
April, 1873, has for some time contemplated
retiring from the Wardenship, which, as 1t
only pays 1888 per month, Is not, with its
responsibilities, very desirable position,
and has latterly determined to try his for
tune in the Ceur dAlene mines as soon as he
could arrange his business. He is one Of the
most intelligent, popular, and large-hearted
men we have in the community, and his de-
parture will be sincerely regretted by ALL AL
though his discipline in the prison has been
strict, yet such is the esteem in which he Is
held by the prisoners that on the announce
ment of his retirement they rendered him a
written testimonial expressing their good
will and regrets and 1t was signed even by the
men he had in irons and solitary confinement
for infractions of rules or attempted escape.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Lockwood, who has been
guard the last four and half years, was also
relieved and has gone to his home in Bitter
Root valley. Mr.. Lockwood is well known
throughout the country As one OF the citizen
soldiers who did valiant service with General
Gibbon at the Big Hole battle, and Was badly
shot up. We trust his ranch will prove more
lucrative than the position of guard with its
exactions of duty and constant perils. Con-
sidering these things, the qualifications re-
quired, and the crowded. unsafe prison, we
do not know of a position in which the rec
ompense is so inadequate to the service. We
hope the Marshal will be able to keep War
den Creel provided with first-cass guards and
that his administration may be entirely sue
cessful.

Escape of Prisoners
Independent Special.

DILLON, November 5.--The three horse
thieves, Hogan, Ryan, and Kelly, who were
captured here few days ago, escaped from
our Jail last evening about eight o'clock. The
jailor was about to let one of them pass out
to the water closet when all three attacked
him at once. They downrd him, and then
gagged and bound him, after which they
took his revolver and keys, locked him in a
cell, and skipped out. After some difficulty
the iailor got out of his unpleasant predica-
ment and notified the sheriff, who was up
town at the time of the escape. The sheriff
has offered 500 apiece for their capture,
which would be high price for the lot.

be done until spring, they returned.
Altogether the situation sums itself up
tins: There Is not enough known about the
mines to pronounce them good or bad. Some
good pay Is got on rim rock; bed rock has
not been reached. 1t may prove a very rich
camp or spotted one. It win be hard to
work because very fiat. Pritchard says it
will probably yield one hundred million dol
lars, but the fact is that he does not know
anything about it, except that he has crew
iced afew years and taken out enough money
to live on. He has recently leased two thirds
of his claim to Porter, agent of a California
company for one-third of the proceeds. He
sold the other one-third for s., 1000, but backed
out when the details were proposed. The
report that Pritchard creek is swampy and
unhealthy Is not correct. From all accounts
IL is gravelly-something like Cottonwood
creek. It's altitude, 1890, does not indicate
severe winters. and the only snow our infor-
IN ants found was 10 or IL inches of wet snow
on the top OF the highest range crossed. 1t
Il not believed communication from Rath-
drum or Spokane will be interrupted during
the winter
Small Bros, of Spokane, now have 8 men
cutting wagon road in to Eagle creek. They
leave the Mullan road at Jackass Prairie and
will have TO cut % miles. The object is to
take in saw mill. The CBur dAlene river
will only be crossed twice, and there ferries
will be put in.
COMING HOME.
Messrs. Odell and Peterson left Eagle creek
Thursday Of last week, logded at Evolution,
and starting at a. m. Friday reached ST. Ig-
natius Mission at noon. To this point the
government steamer runs from Fort Ceur
d'Alene to take back hay, a distance of 80
miles. The Ceur d'Alene river and lake in
distance of 90 miles has only feet fall, and
many persons row it in two days. The
steamer that came up Friday brought so
stampeders going to the front. The charges
are very moderate, being only 90 cents a
meal. Taking passage at l p. m. Saturday
they reached Fort C9ur dAlene at 11.30 q.
m. Sunday and Rathdrum the same evening.
At 9:5S they took the east bound pas
senger train, and reached Deer Lodge in q
hours after

COEUR d'ALENE MINES.
TWO MEN WHO 90 THERE INTER-
VIEWED.
A Few Facts about Routes, Rates. Develop
ments, etc.

G.. w. 0dell, of Butte and Jos. s. Peterson,
of Deer Lodge, left this place Saturday, DC
tober 9th, for the CGur dAlene mines.
They returned here Monday night, Novem-
Der 9th, having visited the mines on Eagle
creek and remained day or two. They
neither bought nor located ground, but ex-
pect to return there in the spring. They are
intelligent men, have no object in misrepre-
senting the case, and kindly submitted to
our interrogations. We will endeayor to
fairly present the result below.
THE TRIP IN.
Leaving Deer Lodge Saturday morning by
carriage, they intercepted the n. 7. west
bound train at Garrison. They purchased
tickets for Rathdrum, Idaho. The distance
from Garrison lie III miles; fare s21; time, 10
or II hours.
Leaving Rathdrum at IA. m. Sunday by
coach. ride of two hours-12 miles-over n
good road, brought them to Fort CGur
d'Alene. Meals there are fifty cents each.
Engaging a man to take them thence to st.
Ipnatius Mission-30 miles-for 81 each,
they left the fort at 8 a. IN. Monday. The
first four miles of the road is good; then 1t is
eight miles on poor road over the range TO
Wolf Lodge; from Wolf Lodge it is six
miles to the top of the range, the latter part
being quite steep. Here the Mullan road
strikes the head of Fourth of July canon,
and the next six miles are very bad travelling.
The party reached the Mission at 5 p. m, and
in the absence OF better accommodations
travellers have to sleep in the haymow.
Here they employed an Indian with three
horses to take them into the mines and back
for S12 each. The next morning they started
at 9 a. m. and rode by 2 p. m. % miles to Evo-
luton, Pritchard's old headquarters, where
there are two cabins. Here they fed and got
dinner. During the ride that day they had
crossed the south fork of the CGur d'Alene
12 times. Leaving Evolution, they started
up the big hill, four miles long, and reaching
the top made q dry camp, there being no
water for sixteen miles. Starting early the
next morning, Tuesday, they rode through
to Eagle City, a distance of % miles. AL
though trail is cut, at short distances there
is "down timber" Of logs one or two feet
in diameter, and the trail is bad, although no
worse than that leading to the Dempsey
Lakes near Mount Powell.
The first creek crossed after leaving Evo-
luton is Beaver ereek-six miles from Eagle
City. 1t presents a low, fiat, marshy bottom,
heavily timbered with principally cedar trees
from one to five feet in diameter. After 60
ing down this about two miles the trail
leaves it and crossing over ridge three
miles reaches Pritchard creek, where town.
site located by AL. Dell, Mobiles, and VIM
Osborne is encountered. There are only two
houses, one restaurant kept by woman
who lives there with her little child and
charges travellers 81 a meal. At all other
places in the country meals are fifty cents.
From here it is II miles down the gulch to
Eagle City.

impressive one to the passengers who wit
messed it, Whether 1t was a murder or sui
eide, no one knew. Nothing was disturbed
even the pistol was not lifted from the floor
to see If 1t had been discharged. The day
Waterman was placed in charge aud the train

AN UNLUCKY HUNTER.

OF one Of the sportsmen who came

The NimrOd descended from his wagon
and followed the cOuntryman into the
back yard. The fox was led out by q
string and fastened to a stake.
Now, blaze away, old man."
The sportsman took a position suitably
distant and discharged his gun. When
the smoke cleared away no fox was to
be seen. The. shot from the gun had cut
the string, and his lordship had slipped
through hole in the fence. 1t is idle
