property was then offered at SIC, 900 with

of 500 O a year does us proud, although
none OF the profits are placed to u
credit, and we feel assured 1t the new
company pushes improvement as pro-
posed, the place will soon become the
Saratoga and healing asylum of the west.
Town property here has already become
active, and commenced to increase IN
value, and as much as $1,000 premium
has been offered for 100 shares in the
company. a good feeling pervades the
entire community. The continued pros
perity of the place is assured, and a city
of 5000 inhabitants will spring into ex-
istence in a few years"

Mace and Slade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-Jem Mace
and his protege, Slade, appeared in a
boxing match at the Metropolitan temple
this evening. Slade, when stripped,
showed up finely. He is well proper
toned throughout, heavily muscled in
the arms and shoulders, with powerful
loins and good legs. In sparring he
showed himself very active on his feet,
and a quick, accurate hitter. Mace
seemed to have little if any advantage
over him in skill; in fact, Slade got in
more blows than his opponent. There
was no heavy sluguing. Mace made a
speech, saying he had retired from the
ring, but would meet Sullivan or any
other man with gloves. Speaking for
Slade, he said the latter had never had
the gloves on until within the last year,
though previously he had shown himself
a good fighter. He would meet Sullivan
or any other man in the ring. The
general impression among experts pres
ent seemed to be that Slade is a good one.

Maiden Matters.

G. @. Snow, superintendent Of the Col
lar mine at Maiden, writes us tostate that
the Collar was not sold to the Omaha
Smelling company, but to Gen. Meade of
that company, S. S. Eaton of St. Paul,
and a few others. He adds: Finding
the lead as we had represented it, they
paid us what we asked for a portion of
the mine, with money enough to erect a
forty-stamp mill and sampling mills at
tached; also for putting everything in
frst-class shape. Our camps very quiet,
but progressing steadily. We have the
ore which is in large veins and paying
quantities, and that will mill from $40
to 500 per ton. There are smaller veins
that are much richer. We are sure Of
one of the best camps in Montana. We
have but one mill in the camp at pres
ent, working.on the Montana lead, and
which is doing well. But not far in the
future we will hear the whistle Of many
mills, and our camp will be n Of the
busiest in Montana So may it be.

Reagan Restored.

After the order had been issued by the
county authorities for the removal Of
John Reagan to Helena, who was
brought here from Barker, Joe Hanna
took him to the bath house and gave
him a bath. His right arm, which had
previous to thatdate began to show signs
of life, and after a second bath he was
enabled to work his fingers. Having
faith in the springs and encouraged by
the advice of our physicians, Mr.. Hanna
and James Chamberlain, another miner
from the same region, agreed to stand
good for the patients expenses for a short
time, hoping to see him restored. He is
still here and is improving rapidly. He
can now bring his hand to his face or in
most any position he chooses, but the
thanks for his restoration are not due to
the humanity Of the county, but to his
personal friends who interfered. He is
not a county patient, for had he have
| been allowed to remain as such he would
have been sent to Helena, and would no
doubt had to have gone through life
without the use of his strong right arm,
simply because the county has taken no
steps to care for its unfortunate, and it
| costs a few dollars more to care for them
here than it does in Helena. The well
fare of the sufferer cuts no figure. When
fully restored MI. Reagan, who is a
young man of good habits and industry,
will fully reward his benefactors.-Hus-

Carving IN and out of a Cyclone.

A gentleman had been Wanting his
great, his unparalleled skill as a carver.
II remember once" he says, when /
was in the East Indies, I carved a duck
and q duck isn't an easy thing to
carve, let me tell you-I carved a duck
on ship-board during a cyclone that
blew SO hard, by Joye, that the people
at dinner had to eat laying flat on the
floor and holding on to the legs Of a sta
tionary table. That's the sort Of a car
yer / am.o
Impressed by this story, his host, the
next time this expert carver was dining
out, asked him to carve the fowl.
The expert carver applies himself to
the task with yigor, but with a deplora-
bic lack of success. Ills face grows red
as a beet, and great beads Of perspiration
stand out upon his forehead.
"And yet there is no cyclone blow
ing!!n remarks II Of the diners, solemn
".
by Jove, that's iti'' exclaimed the
carver; I never could carve when it was
calm. 1t takes a cyclone to evoke the
resources of my nature. That's the sort

Carrier Pigeons for Military Use.

The proposition to use carrier pigeons
for the transmission of messages between
the frontier posts Of the army is again
discussed. A pamphlet issued from the
military press at Preside, Cal, says that
for a distance of 200 miles they travel as
fast as a locomotive, and through a hos
tile country are more reliable than horse
men. They can be used in any country
to advantage where there are prominent
landmarks with clear air, and where
there is not much o. to change the
aspect Of the country. It is claimed
there are frequent occasions for theiru use
is New Mexico and Arizona, and the
suggestion is made that young officers
whose time hangs heavy on their hands
in garrison, give their attention to train
ing and breeding the birds.

Citizens Meeting.

The meeting Of citizens called at the
clerks office yesterday afternoon was not
very largely attended, but all present
wanted a new court house and new
school house-buildings that will be
creditable to this big and growing coun-
ty. The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be in favor Of a $50, 900 court
house and $50, 900 school house, both Of
which, without doubt, will be erected
this season. A committee consisting OF
Chas. Conrad, t. E. Collins and j. w.
Tattan was appointed to draft an ena-
bling bill to be forwarded to our repre-
sentatives in the legislature, who will be
requested to urge it's passage.

The Benton 81 Billings Line.

MI. Walter Burke, the e%nterprising
representative in Billing Of T. G. Power
& Bro, left last week for Bohemian,
whence he contemplates geing to Benton
to make arrangements forimproved stage
facilities from Billings to Benton. At
present t. G. Power & Co. control only
that part of the route from Billings to
Martinsdale, and on account Of the linn
tied accommodations that are provided
for travellers between there and Benton,
the firm do not feel justified in providing
more accommodations than they do at
present, as they do not care to land pas
sengers at a way station and leave them
to take their chances of reaching Benton
the best way they can. From what we
have learned of the matter it would be
to the public interest if Power & Co.
controlled the whole stage line from Bill
ing to Benton, in which event they
would provide good coaches and stock,
l~essening the time schedule and increas-
ing the comfort of the traveller. Travel
has at late increased between here and
Benton, and will soon increase much
more until a first-class stage line has be-
come an emphatic necessity.-BUkngs

Our Holiday Edition.

Several hundred copies OF the Holt
DAY RIVER PRESS were sold yesterday,
in fact we could not bind them fast
enough to supply the demand, and none
have been delivered to parties who a
previously subscribed for large numbers.
It is universally pronounced the pest
and neatest document Of the kind ever
issued in Montana, and its publishers
have received many f1attering testi1no-
mails from citizens Of Benton, who con-
slider that its extensive circulation east
will inure largely to the benefit OF this
section of Montana. Among the many
contributors to whom we are indebted
are r. c.. Power, Hon. Alex. {. Botkln,

and many others, who will please accept
our thanks for their valued assistance in
enhancing the worth of the edition.
Every copy printed will be sold, and we
believe that if twice the number mao
been published they could readily have
been disposed of. We are still busy

good ladies to thank for assistance being
rendered in folding and stitching) and

The Silver Belle Jumped and Held by an
Armed Force.
BARKER Dist, Jan. 5, 1882

IL c0as ~ Ioo~s
Editors of the River Press:
In my last letter / gave you an account
of the festivities at Christmas. New
Year day was similarly celebrated by a
ball at MI. Diapers, at gold Run, which
was numerously attended. It was pro-
~nounced a complete success, and the sup
per provided by Mr.. John Wetzel has
seldom been equaled and never excelled
in the town.
The new year was not allowed to come
in without some mining claims being
jumped for some supposed non-compli-
ance with the law. Foremost of the
mines that have been jumped is the
"Si1ver Belle" the property Of Messrs.
Choate & CO. It was seized by Clarke,
Nav, Adams and two others. They
now hold the mine by armed force, hav-
ing sentries with shotguns on the watch
while the others work. This action has
drawn forth strong condemnation by all
rght-minded citizens, not only by armed
force being used, but also that no reason
exists for the seizure. | hear rumors
this evening of a miners meeting going
to be held, when action is to be taken in
matter. It is to be hoped that such steps
will be taken as to prevent the reccur-
renee of such proceedings any more. |
hear of three other locations being
jumped, but they are Of only minor inn
portance.
Barker has experienced splendid
weather up to now, and while we hear
of fifteen inches of snow near Benton,
we don't have more than four or five
inches.
To-day the first through freight from
Chicago to Gold Run arrived here by
Popejoy's train from Billings, consigned
to Messrs. f. w. Reed & Co. Verify, rail-
roads are approaching.
News from Montana district states that
the lodes now being worked are showing
up in. such a manner as to make. the
miners rejoice at their success.
DR.. KcKay leaves here to-day to take
up his residence at Benton. His numer-
GUS patients here placed the utmost on
fidence in him as a practical surgeon,
and our heartiest wishes go with him for
his success in your burg.
The new smelter is now progressing
fast, and the boys are working like
bees to get it finished.
Before closing this letter I have been
requested to call attention to the defec-
tive state Of the mining laws Of Montana.
1t is to be hoped that our legislature will
at it's present session pass such laws as
will protect hor est and industrious own
ers Of mining claims in the possession OF
their property, and not be subject to the
dictates Of armed parties. Colorado,
California, etc, have such laws. Such
seizures are often made for blackn1ail,
and more often for theft. 1t is the poor
and hard-Working miner that discovers
mining Camps, and when the improves
ments required by law are complied
with, he ought not to be compelled to
have an expensive lawsuit on his hands
to protect his own property tns

Ed. Smith Makes a Purchase.

While at Billings Ed. Smith, the well
known freighter, purchased a bull outfit
of twelve yoke, which he is bringing
back with him to Barker and thence to
Benton. He took advantage of low
prices on the Yellowstone, and, as we
understand, got quite a bargain.

passed his finger quickly across the as.
kaSsin's neck, at the SAME time making 8
grating noise with his lips as ii imitat.
ing the cutting Of the guilletine knife
through the criminals cartilagcs. This
brutal trick had an unexpected effect.
Roussot uttered loud scream and fell
forward gu bis face as if he had really
been guillotined; and Planchet was ar
rested, and for contempt of court and
display of callousness was sentenced to
two years. imprisonment Roussot was
taken away to the cells, but he was found
to be quite mad. He begged of the war
dens to give him back his head, insist
ing that he could not conduct himself
properly withoutit. At first they thought
that he feigned madness, but the physi-
clans said no, and the case went
up, to the emperor, VINO paruoned nln
and had him shat up in Bicetre, and af-
terward in Clarendon. For more than
thirty years Rossout has insisted that he
had been guillotined in the courtroom
in the palace of justice. "You see," he
was accustomed to say to visitors, ''they
took my head off before they had any
right to do So" Then he would relate
the circumstances az they had existed
for him in his diseased brain, and would
intimate the grating sound which his
prosecutor Planchet had made with his
lips on the day of the sentence-the
sonnd which drove the wretched GRIM
inal mad. On Saturday Rossout died OF
cerebral congestion, and his brain is to-
be examined by pecialists.-Paris letter
