worst storms that ever visited this vicinity
set in. Indian creek, which runs through

the city were swept away, as well as several
dwellings and barns. All business houses
on Main street and broadway were flooded
and several lives are reported lost. Cries
for help were heard in every direction, but
the swiffness of the current rendered assist

WE PUBLISH an article In this issue from
the London Bullionist regarding the Drum
Lummon mine, which the English company
purchased from "Uncle Tommy Cruise"
While 1t Is entertaining to the Montana
reader from the odd expressions and the ev-
identity "pilgrin" ideas of mines hsrbored
by the shareholders, it Is gratifying In show
ing their good faith and intentions aud their
satisfaction In developing an honest mine.
We have only to repeat that the Drum
Lummon was considered an excellent prop
erty in Montana when the English company
bought 1t, and worth every dollar they paid
for It. II it shall prove not to be so, Mon
tanians will be as much disappointed as the
shareholders In London. ~

THE PRECIOUS METALS,
Yield of the United States in 1882 as Ofi-
cially Reported.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The following is
an abstract of the spacial report of Hon. II.
G. Burchard, director Of the mint, upon the
production of precious metals In the United
States now in the hands of the printer:
The yield of the mines in The United
States for the year 1882 was $32,5OO, 900 in
gold, and SAC, SOC, 900 in silver. Compared
with the previous year this shows decline
of s2,2O0,o00 in gold, aud an increase of
1000 in silver. The comparative decline
in the production of gold was greater in CAL
ifornia than In any other State or Territory,
the yield being 81, 400, 900 less than In 1881.
This resulted from an interruption of hy-
draulic mining in some of the northern and
middle counties Of the State, owing to liti-
CATION; also from the falling off In the pro-
duction of quartz mines in Bodie.
In Oregon, where the mining IL chiefly
placer, there was diminution, as also in
Nevada, Idaho and Dakota.
In silver, the principal increase was in
Idaho, Montana and New Mexico; Idaho
showing an increase of 100000, Montana
sl,74o,0 6O, and New Mexico 81, SOC, 900. Col
orado furnished about 5000, 900 less silver
than in 1881. OF the bullion production of
the country, $30,9849os in gold and SCI,
400, 1872 in silver was deposited at the mints
and assay offices for coinage, or return in
bars to depositors. OF the deposits in gold
$1,000, 600 was paid In here for manufacture
Ing purposes, and the remainder went into
coinage, 81 400, 900 was furnished by private
refneries for manufactures In the United
States. There was an export of S175, 900 in
silver bars. or total silver PRODUCT On
S,150,O00 was exported, of which 81, 994 900
was furnished by the mints and assay Offices
to manufacturers, and s35o,OO0 by private
refineries.
In Montana the mining industry has in.
creased In importance, an increased yield
having been made in silver, which from ST.
6sO,0o0 in 1881, was In 1882, $4,370, 900. The
permanence Of the mining industry In that |
Territory is assured.

Arizona has maintained her large pro- |

A Priest VS.. the @. A. X.

MILFORD, Mass, May 31.-Contrary to
expectation, Father Cuddiby repeated this
year his attempt to prevent the soldiers
graves in the Catholic cemetery from being
decorated by the Grand Army Post. He or
dered the commander not to enter the ceme-
terry, and caused the gate to be locked and
posted prohibitory notice. The Post,
nevertheless, entered by a side gate, and
went through the usual ceremony of decor
alton.

The death Of Arbuckle, the cornetist, re-
calls the fact that most of the men who make
an inordinate use of the lungs and buccina-
tor muscle perish early. Ned Kendall, the
great bugler, died before his prime, and IL is
believed that the intense pressure upon the
lungs caused by blowing high-keyed instru-
ments, predisposes performers to pulmonary
affections. Arbuckle's disease was pneumo-
mia. Brother Talmage and the men who
perform on tubas and heavy bass wind in
struments seem to enjoy exemption.

'Nsppinp" Indictments,

AUSTIN, Texas, June 4.-The grand Jury
indicted from forty to fifty members of the
legislature for gambling. Quite a number
Of those indicted have left money with coun-
sci to plead guilty and pay minimum fine
rather than to go to trial in court.
Some one entered the county clerks Office
Saturday night and stole all the indictments
returned by the grand jury for violations Of
the gambling law, including those against
members Of the legislature. No clue 10 the
thieves has been discovered, but sporting
circles are greatly excited.

THE Queens condition Is now known to
be such as TO warrant alarm, even on the
part of physicians and of her personal atten-
dants. The character of her illness has not
been defined beyond the point that II Is Of q
nervous type, and is not readily controlled
by ordinary remedies. Her majesty's ner-
vousness has become so extreme that she. is
frequently hysterical and sometimes almost
beyond control aud bordering on delirium.
On her journey TO Baimoral, no cheering or
other exciting demonstration viii be allow
ed. The results of the accident to the
queens knee are charged with the present
illntss. She has for years suffered from govt,
and the membranes of her joints have prob
ably become more or less iniamed. The
knee sprain was only secondary TO the jar
to which the hip joint was subjected by the
fall. This jar led directly to sciatic troubles
from which the royal patient has suffered
terribly. After all lighter means Of relief
were tried, the physicians were compelled
TO resort to hypodermic injections of NOR
phine In order to secure to her majesty any
relief whatever. That the physicians fear
immediate danger OF fatal results, Is beyond
question. The real trouble, rs outlined
above, has been carefully kept out Of sight.

RAILWAY POSTAL SERVICE.
An Important Opinion Affecting Subsidized
Roads.

WASHINGTON, Juna 5.-Judge Lawrence,
first Comptroller Of the treasury, has given
an opinion In the matter of the right of the
Utah & Northern Railway to payment for
services rendered in carrying mails for the
United States. He holds as follows:
LIST. The act of March 8, 1888, gives ne
right to any officer of the government to
withhold from railway company, which did
not receive aid IN subsidy bonds Of the Uni
ted States, payment of the compensation
earned by 1t in carrying mails, even though
such company shall b. controlled by bond
subsidized railway.
I'd. Neither the so-called Thurman act
of May I'd, 1878, nor the act Of March Sd,
1879, gives any authority to withhold such
compensation from the railway company.
Sd. The statutes relating TO bond subsi-
died railways do not repeal in any manner
or interfere with the statutes giving jurisdic-
ton to the accounting officer of the Treas
ury Department. -.a.. ....e- ..
9Th. The Utah d Northern railway Is en-
titled to payment from the United States for
Its services In carrying mails in pursuance
of the regulations of the Postoffice Depart
ment. ..... ta
This decision finally determines in favor
of the Union Pacific railway company long
pending controversy on their right to receive
payment In cash for mail transportation SER
vices to the Government on the leased or
non-subsidized portion Of their respective
lines.

Col. Iiges Unhappy in Choice Of Time
WAsHINGToN,M May 29.-It Is said that Col
Ilges has chosen an unfortunate time for the
ordeal of a court martial. So much scandal
in the army Of late will tend to lessen the
chances of executive leniency, and it is re-
ported that Secretary Lincoln has come to
to the conclusion that the most rigorous dis
cipline is necessary to put stop to the cpl
demic of dishonesty disgracing the service.

THE agricultural implements required to
run an average farm cost from fifleen hum
dred 10 two thousand dollars. Despite this
many farmers are very careless In caring for
them, often leave reapers and mowers out IN
the yard or make temporary roof over
them. The manufacturers say that the Az
erage life Of one Of these machines IL but
sixteen weeks, and then they become too
much worn for further use. Commodisus
sheds for storing such implements pay bet.
ter than the building Of large barns. When
implements are left out the weather tells
upon them more than the wear OF work.
Farmers - rule do not use enough paint
upon their tools. One dollars worth of
paint will save five In implements. There
should be paint pot and brush on every
farm; as paints can be bought ready mixed,
whenever wagon wheels, plows, or harrows
need II the brush can BE- quickly run over
them. II ID time and money we'll spent

tries of indemnity lands which have been
withdrawn for the benefit Of any railroad
grant unless IL shall appear that 1t the date
Of the grant or withdrawal the land applied
for was embraced In an existing entry. The
custom has been heretofore, where the local
Offices have permitted entries Of such lands,
TO allow the entry TO remain until the partic-
'ular grant with which 1t conficted had been
or may be adjusted. The settler has been in
