tana.

To the people of Montana, the
great Northwest, and the entire
world, the ceremonies which will
commemorate the completion of the
Northern Pacific trarscontinental
highway, will be an important epoch
in history. A generation has lived
and died, STAGE the idea was first con-
ceived of building q railroad along
the route followed by Lewis and
Clarke across the continent. Great
minds have been absorbed ia
the project, courageous men have
labored for its realization and colos-
sal fortunes have been wrecked in its
venture. But the grandeur Of the en-
terprise was its own surety of ulti-
mate achievement and to-day the
magnificent idea stands an accom-
plished fact, with its bands of steel
stretching from the ocean to the
Lakes, awaiting the bidding of
the worlds commerce.. The
ceremonies next Saturday will
be upon a scale Of magniti-
ccnce in keeping with the gran
dsur of the achievement. They
will take place at a point
about two miles west from the juno
ton of the Utah & Northern with
the Northern Pacific R. r. The
honor Of driving the golden spike is
by common consent accorded to-
President Willard, whose genius for
organization and sagacious manage
ment have provided means for the
final completion of the road. The
grafton will be delivered by Hon.
Wm. NJ. Evarts, ex-Secretary Of
State. Eminent guests from Europe
and representatives of the leading
newspapers of the world will be pres
ent. President Arthur, Generals
Grant and other distin-
guished Americans will witness the |
ceremony, and i1 will be an occasion
to be witnessed but oace in q life. |
time. The Utah & Northern will
run an excursion train from Butte,
and a large number of citizens will
avail themselves of the opportunity
to witness the completion of an en-
terprise in which all Montanians
have a deeD and material interest.

and ~calcining furnaces are kept rum
ming and the blast will be started up
again next Wednesday.
The 400 north cross-cut in the
Bell mine has advanced 142 feet and is
in vein matter. The ledge is expected
to be cut under the old workings in q
few days. Asouth crosscut has been
been started from the 400 to tap the
south vein. Ore is being hoisted
from the old workings through the
27O-toot crosscut from the new shaft.
The Wild Bill shaft has attained a
depth of 60 feet on the ledge, which
continues to look well. A station will
be put IN at the 100 and cross cutting
commenced.
w. A. Clark has purchased S. E.
Larabie's interest in the Travolna
the mine in which the first discovery
of silver in Summit Valley District
was made by William Farlin
in 1875. Mr.. Clark is preparing to
commence active operations in the
mine. It was a prod ucer'' in old
times and is believed to be q rig
mine yet.
The center shaft at the Neptune is
down 40 feet. Some good ore is being
extracted from the old shaft.
The west workings and the Wine
from the 800 q. w. at the Moulton
to look well and are pro-
their usual quota of high
grade ore. A drift is being run from
the 400 to iHtersect the Wine from
the s. w. 800. Connection will be
made in q few days when the
of ore from this valuable
ledge will be greatly facilitated.
At the Original, the new east shaft
is down Is feet. Some very fine ore
is being extracted from the slopes of
the east and west 800. A large
pump, with q 4 inch col
umn is being erected on the 400
which is expected to handle the wa.
ter SO that sinking for the lower lev
els can be vigorously pushed.
The developments at Clark's Frac-
ton, which lies between the Alice
and Magma Charta properties, con-
tinue to demonstrate the value of the
old Rainbow lode. The 40 foot ledge
the face of the 80 foot cress-cut has
been fully described in previous re-
ports. Il drift has now been run from
the east 300 of the Alice, which has
reached a point directly beneath the
foot workings, anda 8 foot ledge of
high grade ore has been uncovered.
The assays average 100 ~. and sew
eral samples went from 23O to $50 OF.
The drift will be run through the
fraction 221 feetto the Magma Charta
line. when cross-cutting and uprais-
ing on the ledge will be commenced. !
The principal work at the Shon-
bar just now is sinking the shaft for

PRIVATE POSTAL COMPANIES.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-0flicers of the Post
Office Department say with regard to the proceedings
recently taken close the private postal companies in
New-York City, that investigation seems TO show that
the most fragrant vola,ors of law are the companies
known as Husseys Express Boyds Dispatch Post, the
Manhattan District Telegraph Company and the United
States Circular Delivery Company, the two orsaniza-
tions last named being and the Same company.
The prosecution of this unlawful business
Post Office officers here say, not only results in loss OF
large revenue the Department but materially and IN
many ways nterfres with the proper conduct OF the
United States postal business and brings undeseryed
dscredt upon the United states postal administration
Investi CATION shows that In many business men
in New-York have given letters etc, TO subordi
mates to mail with money TO pay postage at
Government rates, and that such subordiDates
have given them to of the private postal companies
which would deliver them more cheaply than the Gov
ernment and have pocketed the difference between pr
vate and Government rates Many OF these letters have
been lost or delayed aud the writer's, attrbutng such
loss or delay TO the United States postal authorities
have made complaint of bad service TO the Department
Tie Boyd and Hussey companies make collections and
deliveries only twice day, while the regular Govern
ment carriers deliver and collect from eight 10 twenty
times daily II is not true, therefore, that the private
postal companies paronized because their service is
better than of tho Government. There cannot be
any reasonable complaint Post Office officials say.

The only advantage which these private postal com
