J. II. Hart from NIissoula Montana,
gives a thrilling account Of the summa-
~ manner in which the newly organ.
lied ~rigilantes Of woeksyille dispense
oven handed justice. Less than ten Gays
sgo, ii will be remembered. Billy the
Kid. " II known in Butte, was captured
shot all to peices aud thrown into the
river; but last Sunday was the blood
lest red letter day ever known at the ter
minus. For many weeks past a spirit Of
lAwlessnsss, robbery and murder has
reignsd supreme at that point. Good
citizens were Mortified. and the rule Of
the robbers was 30 potent that it became
unsafe for any man with a dollar in his
pocket to appear on the street even In
broad daylight; W bile under cover Of
the darkness a carnival Of crime was
conducted by the thugs and eutthroats
who so greatly outnumbersd the good
citizens. that any attemp, to arrest aud
punish the criminals was attended with
almost certain death TO those who
might otherwise have been willing to
aid in the enforcement Of law and in
visiting upon the heads of the guilty
the proper penalties for its iutraction.
Urged to desperation by the e1tremi;ies
Of the situation. a vigilance committee
was organized with great secrecy. and
the aecessious were soon sufficiently
numerous TO render its members bold
enough TO announce their purpose OF
suppressing the h~igh-handed outragss
almost hourly coming to light. Once
organized, no time was lost in carrying
out the object Of the association On
last Saturday night three 5espsradoes
known as Ohio Dan. Blondy. Ed. En-
right and another man were arrested.
The three aforementioned were hanged
without ceremony, and the fourth was
converted into a lead depository. At
the "Y," another camp two miles west
Of W~eeksville. a similar scene WAS ell.
acted, three men, names unknown, be-
ing hanged on the Same three aud all
1T the same time. When the coach
left Weeksyille, so a lady pas
senger stated to Mr.. Hart, the
bodies Of two men were still dangling
in the mir from tho limb OF d
tree, giving the early morning scene n
ghasily aspect. 1t was also reported to
her ut the same time that the three
at tho "Y" we're similarly suspended.
having been thus left by the ayeugirg
yiSiiIntes 40 that there should be no
possibility Of a retnrn of life. The
hanging OF Ikcse several men has, in all
likelihood. eIerted a salutary effect in
improving Tho morals OF the town, and
if the protective society executed only
those who dyseryed the death penalty,
the fact that tho Courts were inopera-
tive will largely justify their conduct.

ALASKA MINING.

Tho San Francisco Report says there
Is more quiet attention turning to
Alaska AS a mining country than the
public ara aware. The coming Spring
will see some very big reduction works
erected up there, where We hear Of some
enormous lodges Of Iow.grade. gold.
bearing quartz located close to ship
ping points. Ia fact, tho lodges projsct
out to the very waters edge. The fact
that there is no excitement about the
matter, is the best guarantee that sub
stan'inl information has been gained.
and that business will prosper accord
ingly. Tho country is known to be
rich in copper, and it will be no sur
prise !! 1t eventually proves as valuable
an acquisition a. that Of our gains In

footing their horns on the impractical
bility Of getting silver dollars into gen

Secretary of the Treasury is ruled by
the gold bugs Of Wall street. there
would be no difficulty in putting a large
amount OF the surplus silver coin into
general circulation. Silver certificates
are desirable as a currency, and the
coin itself would not be unacceptable TO
the people, could the Hon. Secretary

masses in stead of the interests of n few
wealthy men who. in 4 great measure,
