A large audience greeted Buff.lo Bill at
Granite Hall last evening in his celebrated
drama Twenty DAYS" The play is rep
reservation of wild frontier life, scenes in
which Mr.. Cody has figured conspicuously
while employed as a government scout. The
supporting company is an excellent one, dis
PLAYING great theatrical skill in the render
ing of their several parts. The fancy rifle
shooting By Mr. Cody surpassed ANYTHING Of
the kind seen here before.
There will be . sociable at the Congrega-
tional vestry this evening. 1t is hoped there
may be a full attendance. A cordial invita-
tion is extended to strangers in the city to
attend. Supper at halfpast six. The usual
fee of ten cents will be taken at the door,

Jesse James" a thrilling play of outlaw
life is to be enacted on Tuesday evening
next. March 9th at Granite hall supported by
q large company. The Chicago Tribune
says of this play: During the past week the
patrons of the Olympic have been RECALLED
with drama, entitled Jesse James, the
Bandit King" The theatre has been packed
nightly with the admirers of tn. departed
bandit, and Manager Meade has been obliged
to call in the police to keep the eager crowds
from breaking in the doors. 1t is great
play. Its success shows a species of hero
worship which has been developed in this
country Of late, and the managers will
probably make barr el of money with il.

ena Herald says of their entertain
ment: The appearance of the Hew-

last night by a full house to witness
ore of the finest instrumental music
al entertainments ever given in the

the violin, picolo, clar;onette, cornet
and Burmese hautboy were a fine
concert of themselves. The unri-
vailed lady cornet player, Miss Eva
Pear, received a hearty encore for
her wonderful playing on her favor
tie instrument. The mysterious feat
of second sight by the same lady
was carried out to the amazement OF
everybody, and afforded the most en-
joyable amusement after the fine
singing.

THE CAPTURE
Further Particulars Of tho Oap-
ture Of the Bandits o.
Bitter Root.

The MssouL0 Times contains the
following additional particulars of
the capture of the Stevensville rob.
:'ers on the Rock Creek trail: About
3O'clock a. NJ, Thursday, our party
came upon the thieves, who were in
bed and sound asleep. A command
of throw up your hands was given,
but no responses second and third
command was given, when one of
them raised up and glanced at the
situation, our men still shouting
Glands up" The thief then dropped
down in bed and raised up with q re-
vOlver in hand and was in the act of
firing, when a volley of musketry
soon dispatched him. The other two
jumped up and threw up their hands
and surrendered. They were then
searched and the stolen treasure re-
covered. Their equipage consisted
of two old blankets, six six-shoOters,
one Sharp's rifle (army style),
n short double-barrelled shot gun,
No 10 cal, and one Winchester, A.
cal. The Winchester they took from
Salsig's store. They also had about
fifty rounds of fixed ammunition.
They had no grub whatever. The
prisoners said that they bought a
quarter of venison from the Indians
and ate it all for supper. The two
prisoners were brought here, and
thence to MissOula and lodged in
Jail. From Martin Fitschen we learn
that the trio were from Butte, and
that the man killed was AL. Clark.
The other gave his name as Adams,
but parties who knew him in Butte,
say he went by the name of Beck.
Young Fitschen met quite a number
of his old acquaintance here. Six
men left this morning to bring in the
body of Clark for Identification and
burial.
VIII n Fitschen and Beck were
captured they expected to be lynched
immediately, and confessed the
crime. This was unnecessary, as the
money was found IN them, and also
the old musket that was tken from
the store, which was the same
weapon used by Morris in murder
ing an Indian a few years ago, and
many Of the party identified the gun.
The amount of money stolen was
1874. IL, and the amount recovered
1896. n, all that was taken and over
So to boot. The prisoners thought
they would certainly be hung at Ste
v%ensville, and Fitschen impl0red his
captors to shoot him through the
breast instead of ending him by hang
ing.

ZEEHANDELAAR
Wants Montana Papers.-Laying
the Foundation for an In
ternational Exposition.

The following letter received yes
day from Mine Commissioner Zee
handelaar indicates that his mission
to Europe has assumed a much
broader scope Than was originally
contemplated, and that his work in
the money centers of the old world
will probably eventuate in the estab-
fishing of a great international expo
sition, which in its results IS likely to
prove of ~incalculable benefit to the
mining interests of Montana and the
entire coast;
LONDON, Dec. 3, 1889.
To the Editor Of the Miner:
MY DEAR SIR:-Many thanks for
your valuable journal, regularly re,
ceived, and always carefully perused
by myself and many other persons
interested in the promising mining
Industries of your Territory. Kindly
change my address to 80 Moorgate
street, Moorgate Chambers, London,
where [ will have my offices tor some
time to come, and where l
will be happy to serve
your people, and to promote
the mining interests of Montana, now
so favorably regarded it this World's
city and money centre OF the globe;
would be glad if other papers would
literally send me their weekly
editions to be placed on file here. 1t
would do no harm to your mining
interests, to have them occasionally
perused by the many mining men,
| visitors and inventors, which come
| to my offices.
I am laying the foundation for an
| International Mining Exposition to
be held here, on a large scale, under
| English patronage, and to embrace
in its exhibit, everything pertaining
to mining; mining machinery, Safety
in mines. ventilation of mines. min
Ing labor, mills, smelters, geology,
mineralogy, etc. The matter Is o.
course yet in embryo, but much II
| terest has already been evinced IN the
enterprise and I have no doubt OF ins
ultimate success. AS n Daliy
| MINERS heretofore received, indicate
| that you have kept track OF my oper'
| atoms at Amsterdam, anything upon
| that subject will not interest you
| With the best wishes for your flour
ishing camp-sincerely yours,

Tie CHur d. Alenes.

A. E.. briggs. the well known ex-
press and stage man of this city, has
returned from the Coeur d'Alenes. He
confirms previous reports a. to the
extent and value of the new diggings
and thinks The rush and excitement
next spring will be unprecedented.
He says the main travel into the gold
fields must be from this side, on ac-
count of the swollen river which
must be crossed over thirty
times by the Rathdrum route, and
which will be impossible during the
spring thaw. The Trout creek route
appears now to be the most feasible
and will probably be the favorite
trail. At present nothing is being
packed into the mines. There Is no
grub there for sale and the miners
who have camped for the winter
have laid in provisions only for their
own use and will not sell at any
price.

different from whatit did in '66, when

The Phantom Carnival.

King Carnival held high revel at
Thomas Skating Amphitheatre last
last night. Kings and clowns, phan-
toms and court ladies, princes of the
realm and cowboys in leather leg
gings, mingled in the dance upon
terms of perfect equality and all
alike enjoyed the fun, The galleries
and corridors of the spacious hall
were crowded with spectators, who
enjoyed the scene with as keen
a zest as did the participants them
selves. There were over seven hun
dred people in the hall, including
masquers and spectators, and the
formal opening of the Amphitheatre
may be pronounced a decided social
as we'll as financial success.

Whisperings Of Love and
Friendship Too En-
dearing to be
Resisted.
A Friendly Recognition that
Will Be Expected
A Mission Of Love.

We are in the midst of our holi-
day sale, and we are as busy as bea-
vers. 1t is true that the present is
the time to sell holiday goods, but
we want to mention the significant
fact that thus far our sales of this
character have been greatly in excess
of former years. This fact is signifi-
cant, for it shows beyond a doubt
that our assortment of these goods
and the prices we ask for them are
such as you approve, and, moreover,
that the prosperity of our city is
such as enables you to buy thu m.
While it is true that our holiday
sales have been unprecedentedly
large, yet, compared with other
years, it would indeed be a strange
ANOMALY
if those who have yet to purchase
are not in the majority. : How nat
ural it is for many of US to procras-
innate, particularly when dollars
and cents are at stake; and yet there
will be but few of us who will ut
terly fail to respond to the
WHIsPERINGS
of love and friendship that will be
waited to us IN accents too eloquent
and endearing to be resi1ted. There's
a wife, a child, a mother, a sister, a
sweetheart or a friend; or there's a
husband, a father, or a brother, who
will expect some friendly recognition
Of the relationship which may exist,
when, oa Tuesday next, the Christ
mas bells shall toll. To-day and
Monday We expect the greatest
throng of holiday buyers, and we
take pleasure in saying that there's
no other place in this city better pre-
pared to assist you IN your mission
of love. Though you may have de-
cided as to the character of what you
Will buy, yet we believe that al e4-
animation of or exhibit will not
fail to interest you, and possibly it
may suggest something more appro-
pirate.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.
