THE GARBAGE CONTRACT.
An Investigation into How IL is Actually
Performed.

Performed.
Complaints have occasionally been made in
the columns of the city press about the man
nor in which the garbage contractor was per-
forming his work. As THE REPUBLICAN last
Monday published an interview with Health
officer Townshend in relation to the matter,
wherein the health officer expressed an opinion
that no further complaints would bo made
after the contractor had perfected some new
arrangements. 1t assigned a reporter last
night to the duty of investigating the manner
in which the work was done, and also to inter-
view the contractor.
Sixteen wagons, drawn by stout, well fed
horses and thirty-twO men are employed in
tho collection. Twomen go with each wagon,
which arc fitted out with all the necessary
materials for tho work. They start out at
$50 a. III, and return at q p. III. Tho city is
divided into sixteen districts, one wagon for
each district. A visit is paid to certain por-
tiOns of districts three times a week.
The reporter selected ono wagon having a
large district and followed it, When an
alley was reached the men would go into
them and bang at the gates, at tho same time
calling, "slOp man" In some Of the alleys
the men were compelled to wait for long
time, and when female upon whose gate
they had hammered appeared, she
invariably began to upbrad the mon

That First Ticket.

of the first through ticket from
Helena to ST.. Paul which is to be
sold to the highest bidder. It is said
to be a beautifully designed and arts.
ticalDy executed piece of work, being
printed and embellished in gold on
heavy blue satin. The inscription, in
tasteful designs of type, reads: "This,
the first through ticket sold from
Helena over the Northern Pacific
railroad, entities the purchaser to
Il tirst-class passage from Helena

that the fool-killer corraled that cit
izen of Butte the last time he was

Evading Assessment Work.

The mineral location law, as now
constituted, seems to be defective, in
that, its provisions render it possible
for a speculative locator to hold bis
claim for an indefinite period with
out doing any representation work,
by waiting for the legal time to elapse
and then availing himself of the re-
location provisions. This is a practice
which has proved a great disadvantage
to all mining camps, in preventing
the claims from being located, and
developed in the hands of honest To-
Gators, and should be discouraged in
every possible manner. Mining mer
claim that in this district there are
hundreds of claims which have been
held in this manner for years, upon
which no assessment work has been
done, and which will never be de-
veloped into mines, until they are
jumped or, the present claim holders
succeed in selling to parties who will
devote the claims to the purpose for
which the law was framed, that of
developing the mineral resources of
the country.

THE GAME BAGGED.
Successful Termination of q Long
Chase After Hardness and
His Comrades.

On May 25th Joseph Hardness
hired q team at Owsley, Walton &
Co.'S livery stable, with which he
attempted an extraordinary escapade
to Idaho, being joined in his flight
by John T. Lobb and a young man
named Warfield. The intentions of
Hardness e not suspicioned until
a few days after his departure, it was
discovered that the party, instead of
going to Pipestone Springs, their o.
tensible destination, had turned
south ward and struck off toward the
Wood River country. Hank Vail
ton followed in pursuit, and on the
ninth instant telegraphed from Hal
ley, Idaho, that he was on the trail
and would start for Boise City the
next morning. Yesterday a second
dispatch was received from the same
place saying the men were under ar
rest and indicating that Mr.. Walton
had overtaken the fugitives a short
distance out of HALEY on the Boise
road, and requesting that a requisi-
ton be forwarded Immediately. The
requisition. which calls upon the
Governor of Idaho for the extradition
OF the three men, had been obtained
some days since and was forwarded
to Mr.. Walton yesterday. The chase
has been a long one through a very
rough country, and Mr.. Walton de-
serves great credit for his skillful and
persistent prosecution of the pursuit.
Although the requisitisn calls for all
three of the men it is considered ques-
tionable whether or not any but
Hardness can be criminally impli-
Gated in the larceny of the team.
Lobb was under bond to appear for
trial at the present term of the dis
trict court on a charge of carrying !
concealed a deadly weapon. and he
will now probably enjoy the hospi-
tality of Jailor Reynolds until the
September term of court.

Base Ball.

The final game of base ball between
Butte aud VAUDEVILLE was played
Wednesday afternoon, and resulted
in q victory for Butte by q score of 20
to Is. After this game the following
gentlemen were selected to represent
the district on the diamond field dur
ing the coming season: Moffet, Chas
McAuiitf, D. McAuliff, Charles
Knowles, Treglown, Thos. Gleason
and Carson, thus leaving two posi-
tons vacant, the merit of several
other players being SO a the same
that it was thought best not to
make the selection just now.
It is a matter of very great regret
that Mr.. Wheeler. the captain and
pitcher of the Vaudeville nine, can
not remain with the team during the
season. Mr.. Wheeler is a thorough
base ball man, having played as
pitcher for the De ,erets Of Salt Lake
during their most successful CAM
paigns. The men as selected repre-
sent the very best talent of the town,
and with faithful practice will make
Helena import q whole professional
nine for next season if she expects to
win. Arrangements are being made
for q game with Helena on the fourth
of July, and it will net be Butte's
fault if they are not perfected. A
practice game will be played Sunday,
when q second nine will amuse the
regulars.

The Gold-Flint Bonded.

Among the important mining
transactions of the past week is the
bonding of the Gold Flint mine by
the owners, Messrs. Robert McMinn
and John A. Leggat, to John Nc
Cafferty, a mining operator from
Arizona. The agreed consideration
il $4,000, and the deeds have been
placed in escrow in the banking
house of Donnell, Clark and Larabie.
The Gold-Flint is one of the finest
prospects in Independence Mining
District, and is situated in the ex-
IRENE northwestern corner of the dis
trict. 1t has been developed by
two shafts, one a hundred feet in
depth, which is sunk on the VEN
showing a strong ledge two feet wide
and assaying from 20 to 100 ounces of
silver from the grass roots down, and
the other 40 feet deep on the ledge,
which carries an average of 40 ounces
silver. Mr.. McCafferty is a practical
miner and an energetic man. Upon
of the preliminaries to
perfect the purchase he will imme-
diately commence the work If open
ing up and thoroughly developing
the mine.
