Reports from the engineering ex.

Messrs. Cave and O'Bannon, are to
tie effect that the work is progress
jng slowly, though in other respects
Satisfactorily. Proceeding north from
Medicine Tree, the Big Blackfoot
was reached at a distance of eighteen
miles, the line crossing the river
a short distance below the mouth OF
Elk creek. The country penetrated
is rough and quite heavily timbered,
rendering work brisk for the axemen
and slow for the party. Camas
Prairie was ascertained to be en-
tireIy within this county, as gener:
ally supposed. Numerous stone
monuments were erected and trees
b!azed t, mark the survey. OWING
t. slow work and the lateness OF the
season it is feared the party Will nave

Helena Letter.
Special Correspondence Of the MINER.

Special Correspondence Of the MINER.
HELENA, Oct. 10. 1883.
Having been busily occupied for
the past week or SO, I have been I'M
able to send you my promised letter
sooner. Helena still seems to hold
her boom and the smiling and pleas
ant countenances which greet one at
every t1rn inspires you with the
feeling ih.t everybody is contented
and happy. Business of all kinds is
in a %fourishing condition. In con-
versation with several of the promi-
nent merchants I learn that they
have done a much larger business
during the past easo than ever be-
fore. Of course they r selling at
closer margins but still claim they
are making more money. Buildings
in all parts of the city are still in
course of construction, but the de-
mand for quarters exceeds the sup
ply. 1t is really astonishing where
all the people come from. Numbers
Of persons with capital are contin-
ually arriving from the east search
ing for investments in real estate or
for places in which to start in bust
ness.
The Jay Rial company have been
playing to large houses all the week
and will leave a lasting impression
behind them as a theatrical combi-
nation of superior talent and merit.
Louise Rial has gained for herself an
enviable reputation and has made
many friends during her stay here.
They deserve rousing houses in
Butte.
The same complaint seems to exist
here among mineral claimants as in
the Silver City. Many are complain
ing that they have filed their appli-
cations for survey for patent some
months ago and have as yet not even
received an acknowledgment of
the receipt Of the same in
the surveyor generals office.
In view of the prices required
for office work here, land that with
out statutory sanction,) the delay is
entirely inexcusable. Vexatious as
it has been heretofore, it is doubly so
now since the late ruling of the Sec
rotary of the Interior requiring rep
resentaticn of claims until the issu-
ance CT patent instea d of the repre-
sentation ceasing upon the applica-
ton for the survey for same, The
consequence is that every delay
which prolongs the issuance of pat
ents into the following year, requires
each mineral claimant to represent
to the value o. one hundred dollars
more, after being required to makea
deposit for Office work Unnecessarily
delayed) which is unjust and uncon-
stitutional. The sooner u mining
men look into this matter-take hold
of it themselves-and lay the facts
before our delegate in Congress, to be
officially reported at Washington, SO
much the sooner will they have their
work, (which they have paid for in
advance,) done, and the less he ex-
posed to the necessity of annually
pa, ing one hundred dollars for rep
resentation which could be avoided.

ANOTHER ESCAPE.
Louis Dnbost and John Murphy
Take Leg Bail from the
Crowded Penitentiarv.

Information was received yester-
day of the escape from the peniten-
tiary on Tuesday night of Louis Du-
bost and John Murphy. No particu-
lars were received Of the manner in
which the escape was accomplished,
but in view ofthe crowded condition
of the penitentiary and the frequent
occurrences of escapes it seems high
time that the matter was inquired into
by the federal officials, and such
representations made at Washington
as will result in Montana being pro-
vided with necessary facilities for the
safe keeping Of her convinced crimi-
nails in the state prison.
Louis Dubost is the restaurant and
lodging house keeper, who was sen
fenced by the Silver Bow district
court last June, for the robbery of
$1,000 from Lucy Able, and who
fled the country on the fleet saddle
morse 'LlgnClOOt' which he hired at
Warfield's stable. He is about "A
years old, is dark and thick set,
weighing about 165 pounds, is 5 feet
Z inches tall, has dark brown eyes
and mustache.
John Murphy was sentenced at
the same time for the larceny of a lot
of cartridges from Rich's store on
Main street. He is about 30 years
old; is 6 feet 6 inches; weighs about
las pounds; has dark brown NOUS
tache; brown hair; gray eyes and fair
complexion.
A reward of 500 is offered by the
Territory for the capture of each of
the escapes.

r
Over Three Thousand Dollars
Worth Of Property De-
stroyed.
Narrow Escape from q General
Condagration.

At Ills yesterday afternoon the fire
bell sounded the alarm. The occa-
sion was the breaking out OF q fire in
the kitchen of the oyster
saloon adjoining Fritz & Ro-
gaa's Board Of Trade Sample
Rooms on the southeast corner of
Main and Park streets. This place
fronts on Park street and it's kitchen
is next to that of the Chinese restau-
rant, owned by Chin QuOng, which
fronts on Main street. The buildings
being constructed of light and hig b
ly inf1ammable material, were soon
enveloped in the blaze and it was ex-
tremely fortunate that there was lit
tie or no wind at the time. The fire
departments arrived promptly on the
ground and in q short time had the
flames under control and prevented
what bid fair to be a large and de-
structive fire. The cause Of the fire
is unknown. but is supposed to have
been the explosion of the gasoline
stove used for cooking the oysters.
The place where the fire broke out
was entirely destroyed as was also
the place occupied by Chin Quong.
Tie sample rooms of Fritz & Rogan
were slightly damaged by. fire but
their loss by water and moving is es-
timated at $500. The room formerly
occupied as a pawn shop by T. w.
Weeks, was badly burned. Jones &
Robin estimate their loss at $500.
The barber shop next to them, aud
owned by Louis Carron, burned out,
but the fixtures and furniture were
removed with a probable loss OF $50.
Joseph Nadeau, to whom all the
buildings belonged, estimates his loss
at $500 On which is an insurance of
$1,000. The Butte Lodging House,
kept by J. G. Wissel, had a narrow
escape. but sustained very little dam
age. The fire companies worked well
together and deserve much credit for
the manner in which they acquitted
themselves.

!, "Beecher preached sermon on Sum
day on Sabbatarian laws, wherein hs
took the broadest ground in favor OF per-
sonal liberty. As a friend remarked, an
abstract Of his address reads like an ed-
torial in the Forum. Beecher says he is
looking for religion that will suit every
pody7-a religion that will be as good for
one man as another-a religion that,
Stripped OF its bigotry and superstition,
will serve to bind humanity in a bond
ooluniversal brotherhood. When he has
found such creed he will discover that
u has few of the features of religion as at
present understood"
We have some friends about here
whose religious convictions are very un-
settled. They don't like the divided the
Illogical creeds as they now stand, as
'hey are afraid to leave these low grounds

We advise no man to steal; nay, we
advise everybody not to steal, but if you
will and must steal, don't let it be a
shoat nor sheep, nor let it be the
breaking open the till of some poor cob
blers kit, nor some corner cake shop, but
a big bank or the State treasury, and get
away with hundreds of thousands idol
lars, and then when you are arrested it
will ent,tle you to the jailor's pallor,
wine and cigars and the sympathy Of
thousands of friends who will make out
your case as simply breach of trust or
atemporary alienation of mind. Steal
anything trifins, no matter how urgent
your hunger or how scant your clothing,
how great your needs, your character is
gone, without one word Of sympathy,
your liberty is gone without one word Of
lnterpQsition, and for all time to come
you are branded felon. Such is human
Justice, such the administration Of law.
