Lost in the Mountains.

A couple of Helena gentlemen, one
a druggist, the other a land office
clerk, both unused to roughing it.,
had a thrilling adventure in the Belt
mountains not long since. They
were in the vicinity of Great Falls
and attempted to reach White Sui
phur Springs via Montana District.
After a half days travel they learned
this was impossible and sent their
team around and undertook the
journey on foot. They lost their
way, as might have been expected,
and were two days in the mountain
wilds. They had their guns and sub
sisted we'll on meat straight, as game
was plenty, but as the nights we're
cool. sleeping by turns on the cold
earth while the other warmed rocks
and put to his back, was a novel ex-
perience, and a 6O-mile tramp tried
their muscle, but they stood it brave
ly.-Husbandmdn.

Railroad for Northern Montana.

Since the purchase by J. J. Hill
of a large interest in the Great Falls
TOWNSHIP, mcclure has been rife as
to what effect his influence would
have in supplying that coming man
u%facturing center, together with other
sections of Northern Montana, with
railroad facilities; and the evident
intention of the great railroad mag
nate to push the st. Paul, Minneap-
oils & Manitoba road through
to his recent purchase has
been generally conceded. A st. Paul
corresE ondent' of the Chicago ZTi-
6une now writes that Mr.. Hills most
intimate friends assert that he in
tends to extend the DEVILS Lake
branch across both branches Of the
Souris, through the extreme northern
part of Dakota, striking the Missouri
river on the edge of Montana, some
where near Fort Stewart, and con-
tinuing up the Missouri to Fort Ben
ton; then southwest to the Falls.
Should this scheme be pushed it is
likely there will be a race between the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba and
the Northern Pacific for the Upper
Missouri country. The Northern
Pacific has already projected branch
from Jamestown to Mouse river, and
another from Bismarck to Fort Bu-
ford, most probably with the inten-
ton of ultimately building up
through the Missouri valley to Fort
Benton, which point will have fur
ther connection with the main line
at Billings and Helena. Under the
circumstances it is not likely that
the race for the upper Missouri can
long be delayed, and, whichever road
wins, the prospect is certainly a
cheering one for the Territory at
large, and Benton in particular"

Terrible Mining Accident.

Robert McRea, a miner, was acct
dentally killed in the Navajo mine
at Tuscaroro last Monday. 1t APP
pears that deceased was coming up
the shaft on the cage from the $50
foot level in company with VIM.
Grafton, the shift boss, and to the
latter he complained of a slight head
ache. Grafton was only going
to the $50 level, but when McRea
complained of being ill he velun-
teered to accompany him to the sur
face, but his services were de-
clined, McRea saying that he could
get up all right. When the
cage arrived at the third set of tim
bers from the top. MI. Beers, the en-
gineer, noticed an unusual strain,
and thinking that something was
wrong, stopped the cage and called
out down the shaft. Receiving no
answer and hearing nothing, he
slowly raised the cage to the top,
when the body of McRea was dis
covered lying cross it dead, with his
neck dislocated and both legs broken.

Prices Sawn Into and q Slab off
Besides,
The Reasons Why.

Yesterday we iguratively spoke
of che operation of the rip.saw of low
prices and gave you some illustrations
of what it had done, and among
which were prices sawn in two in the
middle and a slab off besides. The
operation of this saw in our hands
has not only been satisfactory to us
but we have the best of evidence to
believe that it has been to you. 1t is
true that we have sold a great many
goods at a heavy loss but had we not
sold them we would have to carry
them over until next season when we
would be compelled to sell them at
so per cent. less even than we have
realized. We are satisfied because
We curtailed our loss, and you are,
because the goods at the time of pur-
chase were worth perhaps more than
double what you paid. Next year
they'll not be worth much to you nor
would they be worth much more to
us had we chung to them with the te-
nacity OF a death-struggle rather than
suffer loss. Don't you know there
r plenty of merchants who will
hang on to an article until it rots
rather than sell it at a loss? Yes,
plenty Of them, but they are not the
kind who keep the grass worn off
beneath their feet. although in time
they may pile up snug little fortunes.
Their success is not due so much to
the extent of their business as to the
big prices they get.
We have still some goods that have
been subjected to the saving process,
and they await your option. Some
of them are desirable now, but we
will not take that into consideration
when We name prices. They are on
the bargain center tables and in
clude dolmans, ladies', misses and
children's dresses, dress patterns,
linen ~ulsters, neckwear, parasols,
etc.
We are also offering our entire
stock at a discount of not less than
1Oper cent.-nothing excepted-and \
larger discount from the regular
prices of some goods.
Very respectfully,

Special Dispatch to the MINER.
HELENA, Aug. %.
During a sharp lightning storm to-
day the residence of John s. Har-
rington, of Holmes Gulch, three
miles east of this city, was struck by
lightning, and Mr.. Harrington, who
wa engaged in cooking his dinner
by the stove, was instantly killed. It
8 supposed the bolt followed the
stove pipe down to the stove, which
rested upon dry blocks of wood,
which acted as j%nsulators, and Mr..
Harrington, at the instant, placing
his hand upon some cooking utensil
offered an escape for the fluid to the
ground. The deceased was a we'll,
known and highly-respected miner,
who has lived in this vicinity during
the past thirteen years. At the time
ot'his death he owned and worked a

Railroad RumOr.

A seemingly we'll authenticated ru-
NOR comes from Helena that the
Wickes and Clancy branch of the
Northern Pacific Railroad will be
built through to Butte; thus giving
that company an independents line
to this city, and making u North
ern Pacific connection at Helena.
Some color of substantially is given
to the ruluor by the argument that
without some Interior object, the
Northern Pacific management could
not have been induced to build q
branch to Wickes, from which point
it is claimed Butte can be reached ia
j.. distance of 80 miles and with COM
paratively little tunneling.

A UTAH TRAGEDY.
Matt Brennan Shot From an
Ambuscade and His Slayer
Lynched by a Mob. O..

The following particulars of the
killing of Matt Brennan, who was a
brother of Peter Brennan, of this
city, at Park City, Utah, last We'd
nesday, are gathered from the Ogden
Pilot. Our dispatches have already
told the story of the incensed citi-
zens taking the murderer from
Jail and hanging him to a tele-
graph pole last Saturday night:
Matt Brennan and Black Jack
Murphy both owned property on
Scott Hill, and for some reason be-
came angered with each other and
disputed in regard to the same, both
going so far as to notify the other, in
a threatening manner, not to set foot
on his ground. At about moor last
Wednesday party of surveyors were
near the hill surveying. No long
after IL o'clock Matt Brennan
mounted a horse, with a rifle and re-
volver in his possession, and rode
owe where the party were at work.
He had drawn his horse to a halt,
and was still sitting on the same,
when the loud report OF a gun near
by caused them to look up. AS they
did so they discovered Brennan fall
ing from his horse, and at once
rushing to his side, heard him ex-
claim, murphy killed me" In
stantly thereafter he expired. AS
no one else was present the surveyors
were at first disposed to believe Mr..
Brennan's gun had been accidentally
discharged and caused his death,
but on looking about, smoke vas dis
covered rising from a clump of
bushes. On approaching the hiding
place of the assassin, Murphy was
discovered, armed. While it is gener-
ally believed that the parties each in
tended to shoot on meeting, much
indignation is felt by the Park City
denizens that Murphy should have
taken so cowardly a manner of dis
patching his foe, and some talk of
lynching was INDUCED.
