PHILIrsBuIa, june 4.-Since the first dis
covery Of the camp no strike has ever given
moro general Satisfaction than that which
has been lately made In the San Francisco
mine. Il IL situated In the granite, and
with the exception Of the Granite Mountain
mine is pronounced by expert to he the finest
property in this region. The vein Is Eve feet
wide and carries ore some Of which runs up
into the hundreds. 1t belongs to Messrs.
John Ulery, James Patton, Thons Hynes,
Jr., and E. d. Holland, all gentlemen who
have been long known and much respected
here, and their good luck is a matter Of gen.
eral rejoicing.
The Granite Mountain mine Ii shut down
temporarily. The president of The company
is expected to visit 1t shortly. Preparations
continue for running some Of the rock
through the Algonquin mill. The Hope Is
still working away, AMI the boring machine
called by the boys 'the gimle its also mt
work.
The Boulder excitement, though some
what abated, still continues. Several mule
teams have gone in with various supplies,
and number of our citizens are building.
Mr.. Thomas Botschieder, one of our most
esteemed citizens, has returned from a visit
to his native land in Europe Though highly
esteemed by his young gentlemen compan-
ions here, he was rather coolly received by
them in consequence Of his coming back
without wife. His reception by the young
ladies has, however, made up the difference.
Quite pieasureable excitement was Great
ed among our young folks by q visit from
Miss Mary Mcdonald. The shortness of her
sojourn with US has created the suspicion in
the hearts of some of her young gentleman
friends here that the beauty Of Deer Lodge
and its surroundings is not the attraction
which draws her back so soon.
Mrs. DIR. Miller, in company with her aunt,
Miss Connors, has come to Philipsburg fer
the purpose of spending few of the summer
months with her father, Mr.. NJ. Caplice.
They are welcome, and we wish them all the
benefits which can be derived from inhaling
the fresh mountain breezes of Montana, and
all the enjoyment which would naturally
spring from such pleasant family reunion.
During the slight lull Of business here q
number of our citizens, old and Dung, exer-
else themselves in the highly exhilaratiug
game Of foot ball. 1t may neither be very
instructive nor yet intellectual, but by the
crowds 1t gathers and the shouts and laughter
which proceed from them, it is evident that
tn ere is heaps Of fun in 1t somewheres.
Mr.. Frank Durfes and Dick Bigalt, who
have hitherto been considered quiet and law
abiding citizens, have gone ON the war path,
each armed with rifle, vowing to slay and
destroy the disturbers Of their cattle. Mr..
Bigalt has met one or two of them when
alone and without his rife, making aggress-
i've demonstrations towards his property, but
II he meets them this time with Frank along
with him, there is "bear' possibility that
there will be trouble "bruin.''
The musical and dramatic entertainment
which I mentioned in my last letter will
come off on the evening Of the 18th. Every
effort is being made to render 1t the best
thing Of the kind ever given in Philipsburg.
