Voting by Electricity.

An invention for taking parlia.
mentary votes by electricity is to be
tried in one of the rooms Of the capi-
tol and if it works satisfactorily will
be used in Congress. It prints the
name of each member with his vote,
indicates the pairs and absentees;
and a roll call usually occupying
twenty minutes can be taken in half
a minute. This is great step in adj
vance and is illustration of the tri-
umph of matter over mind-that is
congressional mind. A little further
progress in this direction and we
shall have electricity delivering
speeches in Congress, which will be
bright, quick and clear. The advan-
tages of such machine over those
now in uee at Washington scarcely
need pointing out.-DstroH Free

REDUCTION WORK 8.
Samplers, Mills and Smelters
Needed in Butte to Keep Cap
ital at Home.

The establishment of smelling
works, ore samplers and mills at
Ogden and other points along the
railroad routes is a movement which,
while it is undoubtedly destined to
work great advantage to mining
interests in general, is likely to result
in loss to certain localities, among
them Butte. A large number of
miners in t. is district haye been un-
able to work their ores to advantage
under the present regime and have
let mines idle which would pay
good profit were there sampling
works here to buy their
ores at a. fair price.
The district a5ourds in prospects,
from which free milling ore may be
taken from the grass roots to the
water line, which would mill from
40 to Is ounces Of silver to the ton.
Hundreds of these mines would Do
working if there was a market for
the ore. Heretofore custom mills
with no competition, have been apt
toget most Of the yield of the work,
leaving the miners out in the cold.
The fact of there being market
for ores in any region is greatly to its
advantage. Men Of limited means,
with an opportunity Of dispcsing OF
their ores, can DO profitable work
where heretofore they b I'VE struggled
along for wears. Capitalists ale see
ing that there is chance for invest
mtnt in these works.
The Mardoch reduction works,
which are to be put in operation at
Ogden this season by company OF
Eastern capitalists, propose to c1m-
bine with facilities for reducing the
various kinds Of ore, sampling works
and the purchase of ores on q large
scale. We hear of sampling works
being contemplated at st veral other
points where ore purchasers and
miners will be accommO-
dated, but sampling works
and ore purchasers at Ogden Will
benefit only the few miners In this
emp who have sufficiently hlgh
grade Of ore to warrant the expense OF
Transportation to that point. Gould the
ore market be brought to our door by
the establishment OF the works here,
not only would thousands of men
be employed ia the works and in ex-
tracing ores from lower grade mines,
but the capital employed would be
Kept at home and the projectors OF the
enterprise could buy their ores at
prices SO reasonable as to insure
large return on the capital invested.

The Sherman Girls.
From fhA WashinCtOn Post


General Nelson A. Miles, the gal
liant Indian fighter, has just consun'
mated the purchase of the old stone
mansion on Fourteenth street, neal
tho boundary, says . Washington
correspondent. He was an assistant
in Boston store in the China trade
when the war broke out, and after
Joining the volunteer army he de-
veloped an immediate and conspicn-
GUS talent for military service, so he
entered the regular army as colonel
at the close of the rebellion, and soon
after won the hand of Mary Sherman
one Of the three beautiful Cleve
land sisters, nieces of Senator and
General Sherman, who had "come
out" in Washington society under
the auspices of her aunt. the wife OF
the former. Another became Mrs,
Colgate Hoyt, of Cleveland, now o.
New York City, and the younger is
Mrs. Don Cameron. General Miles
aud wife had one child, q
daughter, born to them thirteen
years age, and last winter q sec
ond child, q son. They temporarily
reside with their widowed 'uother,
Mrs. Judge Sherman, on Rhode
Island avenue, in the house formerly
occupied by Judge Hunt. Garfeld's
Secretary Of the Navy, now Minister
to Russia. The large family of Sher-
man nieces owe their prosperous set
tlement in life, in a great measure, to
Mrs. John Sherman, the Senator'S
wife, who has assiduously taken
them to her home and brought them
out with the best Washington advan-
tages. With no children of her own,
she had been more than blood re:
lation to her husbands nieces. and
they almost idolized her. Mrs. Miles
named her daughter for her-Cecella
Sherman Miles. Mrs. Sherman, q
Miss Stuart, of Mansfield, was at one
time a pupil of Mrs. Willard's Semi
nary at Troy. Senator and Mrs.
Sherman adopted two twin baby
daughters from an orphan asylum in
New York, of whom one died in in.

TIE FLoCa1Na CASE.
The Excitement Abated but the
End Not Yet.

contrary to expectations no COM
plants or arrests were made yester-
day in the lynching matter, but both
parties seem to be laying on their
oars waiting for further develop
ments. The friends of Gundry con-
tinue to maintain his entire innocence
and invite legal prosecution while
many citizens claim that he is guilty
of all with which he has been
charged, but that owing to the in
timidation of certain witnesses the
evidence cannot be produced, unless
protection from violence is guaran-
teed them. We were not able to
learn who these witnesses are, but
Sheriff Irwin yesterday assured a
MINER reporter that if any witnesses
desire to make a complaint and
testify against Gundry, he or she
might be assured Of having the pro-
lection of the Sheriff and if necessary
he would call upon all the resources
at his command to furnish the most
ample protection. Certain it is, that
the day when intimidation and bull
doing can be successful in this
community has long since passed,
and Sheriff Irwin can rely
upon the aid of every able bodied
citizen of Butte to protect any wit
ness who desires to testify in this
case. There was but little excite
msnt visible yesterday, but the quiet
determination apparent in the move
ments of certain parties, indi-
Gated that the matter will not
be allowed to rest until the accused
man is proven innocent, or made to
suffer for his crime.

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
Young Ladies from Butte at the
Opening Exercises.

In its account OF the Introductory
exercises and distribution OF premi-
ums at St. Mary's Academy last Fri
day, the Salt Lake Tribune refers to
some of the young ladies from this
city in the following complimentary
terms:
"The exercises began shortly after
3 o'clock by selection from Doni-
zetti, on two pianos by six young
ladies, Misses Marratta, Wright
Morier, III. C. and E. Raht. Well
done, in excellent time and ex.
preston.
A vocal duet, "The Lilly and the
Rose," followed, finely rendered by
two little girls, Misses Baker and
Keeney, whose singing was admira'
BILE.
Miss Pinkham read an essay in
French, "D' Esprit de Abnegation, u
doing it with good expression, and
getting along with the mixed vowel
tones very well indeed. The subject
itself was also we'll treated.
A vocal duet followed, from Kuck:
en-, "When Morning Rays are Beam
ing" by Misses Mcintyre and Stod'
dard. When these young ladies ap'
pear, the audience settles down with
satisfaction, knowing that something
gratifying is certainly coming, and
they are never disappointed. The
duet was charmidg.
A sight to enliven the dispirited
came next, being march, played on
ten guitars, by Misses Sharp, Mar
rata, Young, Wright, Hayes, Han
nifin, Mulhall, Stoddard and McIn'
tyre, and on the either by Miss
Peters. It was well done, too, and
altogether a captivating affair.
Misses Pinkham, Nelson, SPAIN
and Heberlein then performed q
double duet on two pianos in good
time and taste.
A concert polka on the piano by
Misses Marshall and Baker gave the
audience renewed proof of the variety
and extent of the accomplishments o1
these young ladies.
Miss Baker, "a miracle in music" +"
rendered with surprising correctness
and power an instrumental solo
"L'Eclair," from Ascher. She is
deservedly looked upon as giving
high promise of great musical attain
ments.
Miss Mcintyre, gorgeously bedeck'
ed with flowers, appeared Aext, in
what, to many, was the gem of the
whole entertainment, her flower
song. Dressed in character, with
her graceful waltzing as a thread OF
the poetry of motion weaving into
and through the woof of song, it was
an enchanting performance altogeth'
er.

THE COMING CITY.
Montana's Future Manufacturing
Center to be Built Upon
the Great Falls of
the Missouri

Paris Gibson, j. J. Hill ana their
associates have secured the title to
5000 acres Of land on either side of
tho Great Falls of the Missouri, upon
which they have located u town site,
and the River Press discourses with
great plausibility upon the future
greatness of the embryo city. The
Press says:
"The location is just below the
mouth of Sun river. taking in the
Black Eagle falls, some two miles
below, and is one OF the most delight
ful spots in Montana. Here is the
most beautiful part of the Sun river
valley, q great, wide bottom stretch
ing off to the northwest, while the
valley of the Missouri partakes of its
character, the bad land banks disap-
pearing entirely from view. The
charms of this place were noted by
Lewis and Clarke, the first explorers,
and in the history of their travels
they dwslt at length upon the beauty
of the scene presented to them on
this spot.
Great Falls is the name hit upon,
and more appropriate one would be
difficult TO find, considering that it is
to be pre-eminently water power or
manufacturing town, placing its
main reliance for a proud position
among the future cities of the new
northwest upon the magnificent and
never failing water power the falls
afford.
The theory of the interested parties
is that there must be somewhere in
this great northwest manufacturing
center, and the magnificent water
power of the falls of the Missouri,
which cannot be excelled in the
world, clearly indicates where that
center is. Great Falls will lie ada
cent to the great c,al district that
stretches from the Missouri to Belt
creek; the Sand Coulee mines are but
four or five miles distant, while the
Deep creek coal, acknowledged the
best that has yet been found in Mon
tana, is distant but twelve miles;
the mountains up the river are
covered with pine, which can easily
be RATED down; within the town
limits even the finest of building
stone in inexhaustible supply can be
had; the Belt mountains, distant
from 25 to so miles, furnishes mineral
ores of every kind, and the Sun Riv-
er valley and others adjacent will
furnish the agricultural products de-
mauded. The water power Of Black
Eagle Falls alone, Mr.. Gibson in
forms US, is much greater than that
of st. Anthony Falls at Minneapolis.
A fall of forty or fifty feet can be Sc
cured. The canals or races will be
cut through sandstone, rendering
them everlasting ana no additional
expense after they are constructed.
The policy of Mr.. Hill will be to
develop, permanently this enterprise
at an early date. Among the first
moves to be made will be to secure a
railroad, and whether it is branch
of the Northern Pacific, the Utah l.
Northern or some other road. re-
mains TO be seen. But a railroad
will be built there, and that very
soon. Without doubt the starting OF
this project, with James J. Hill at
the head of it, will hasten railroad
development in Northern Montana,
and in this way will not only benefit
Great Falls but every other town and
section in the northern portion Of the
! Territory"

OUR EXHIBIT.
What We are Showing the Multi
tude Who are Visiting the
Dutch Exposition.

The European Mail of June 1st
says of the Amsterdam exhibit:
"Only comparatively small space
is occupied by the United States. Less
prominent than a number of reaping
and binding machines, of wondrous
construction, but not less interesting,
is very fine collection of minerals
from the principal mines OF Utah ,
Montana and Idaho. Mr.. A. Zeehan-
delaar, the accredited agent for these
territories, has we'll displayed the
economic value of 800 or 400 mines,
each mineral bearing the assay value
in different metals, mining districts,
etc. Some of these ores although dull
looking, are eloquently suggestive Of
millions of money; the Ontario, with
a total output of ST., 500, coo; the Horn
Silver, with 81 ,5O0,0OO dividends in
sixteen months; the Anaconda, with
millions worth of copper ready for
the smelter; the Lexington, with its
regular monthly dividends of $50, 900;
the Parrot, with $4,000 monthly
clearings and five millions in sight,
besides other valuable Montana spe-
cimens. From Idaho there are sam
pies of the products of the Maggie
Moore, .Penobscott, and others. A
collection so thoroughly representa-
tive of all kinds Of metals, and so in
diligently described to the numerous
visitors, canuot fail to draw the
attention of capitalists to the many
undeveloped and rich claims OF Mon
tana, Utah and Idaho. The exhibits
are in charge of a man apparently
well posted, and Of the ri ght stamp
to represent the interests of any
country. Mr.. Zeehandelaar is also
entrusted with the representation OF
New Mexico. A very elaborate dis
play is made of innumera6le samples
of grain and like products from
Manitoba and other localities through
which the Canadian Pacific railway
passes, surmounted by an immense
chart.
