Johnny Spiker's Suicide.

Very many old Nevadans now re-
siding in Butte will remember John
ny Spiker, who owned the Noun
tain Queen mine ON Mt. Ophir, and
who used to come into Eureka and
make Rome howl every time he made
a cleanup. The Eureka Sentinel
has an account of Johnny's suicide at
his mine last Sunday morning:
A miner who slept near his cabin
hearing a pistol shot, folio we'd by
groans, rushed in the cabin and found
Spiker lying on the floor gasping his
last. BY his side lay a pistol with
one chamber empty. His head was
covered with gore and the brains
were issuing from the top of the
skull. He had evidently shot HIM
self with the pistol, which he had
placed close up to his forehead, for
the skin was powder burned. The
ball had entered near the upper part
of the forehead and had come out
through the top ofthe head, crushing
the skull bones and expelling the
brains. He left a note written in
German on his table saying:
1 can't hold out any more. I must
60 now. To all my friends good-by.
l owe some debts. Take all [ leave
and divide it among those whom I
owe. This is the last of poer Johnny
Spiker. Everybody good by, good
by. JOHN SPIKER.
The deceased was we'll known, and
bore the reputation of an honest, hard
working miner. It is believed the
act was committed while laboring
under mental alteration, which was
the result of a recent spree.

A HEAVY CATTLE TRANSAC
TON.
The Hauser, Stuart & Co.'s Cat
tie Change Hands for
$4OO, 900.

The heaviest transaction in cattle
that has occurred in the Territory
took place this week, Mr.. Conrad
Kohrs, for Kohrs & Bielenberg, and
Mr.. Granville Stuart, for Stuart &
Anderson, purchasing of Mr.. A. j..
DAVIS the Davis, Hauser & Go. herd
of 1900 cattle for $40. 000. Stuart &
Anderson were former owners in the
herd, the late sale being in fact a
purchase of the two-thirds interest of
Judge Davis by Mr.. Kohrs for $685.
667. This is the heaviest transac-
ton in cattle that has ever taken
place in the Territory, the next high
est being a few weeks ago when the
Montana Company bought of Downs
u Allen the old 1000 head herd of
Clark & Ulm for 1926, 600. By this
transaction Con Kohrs puts himself
at the head Of the Montana cattle
business, and in the manner of the
times is the undisputed cattle king of
Montana, he and Mr.. John Biele l.
berg owning, browning a controlling
interest in, $4,000 head of cattle,
which, at rates We have heard of be-
ing paid recently, are worth on the
range a million and a half dollars.
MI. Kohrs knows what a good herd
OF cattle is, and the inference is that
in making the recent purchase he has
secured what he believes to be a very
valuable band of cattle. Messrs.
Granville Stuart and Rein Ander-
son, two of our old townsmen, own
a one-third interest in the recently
purchased cattle, ranches, etc., and
will have charge of them. The range
headquarters are within four miles of
Fort Maginnis, in Meagher county,
and about 200 miles east of Helena.
We are glad to see our old townsmen
keeping the lead and making an hon
est penny or two in the struggle of
llfe.-New Northwest July Ii.

Copper Smelling Extraordinary.

A correspondent of the Boston
Herald writing from Bisbee, Arizona,
says: "The Copper Queen Compa-
ny, with the Rankin & Brayton Pa
citic Copper Shelters, can handle
ores carrying not more than 5 per
cent, with a profit, even with coke
costing $37 per ton, and heavy trans
pOrtatlon charges on bullion. This
gives some indication of the value
and productiveness of the many cop
per mines in all parts of the country
now operated with this system of re-
duction, the most of which will run
from y to 80 per cent. 1t is evident
from this that even a large decline
In the price of copper would not Sc
rlously impair the margin of the
copper producers OF our western
mining States and Territories.
The superintendent of the Copper
queen furnaces says: "Our record
for the year 1881 shows a production
of nearly five million pounds of bull
lion, the product of one smelter run
ming continuously and one for only
four months of the year-equal, say.
to a IL months run of a 30 ton smell

any class of copper ores, are simple
in construction, easily handled, and
with proper care are always in ordere

years in copper smelling,

An exchange says one of the lead
ing Democratic journals in the Sonth
declares that the party does not want
"a handsome leader'' in the next
campaign. This rules out both MI.
John Kelly and Governor Butler, the
two handsomest political widows in
the country. Being in confidential
mood, the journal in question is good
enough to explain exactly what sort
of a candidate will complete the hap
piness of the party. "He must" it
says, ''be leader with a head on him
like the dome Of an observatory
high up and big around" AS Mr.
Tilden wears a No. 6 hat, he must be
counted out of the race if the observ-
atory qualification is insisted upon.
Mr.. Thurman has a head on him like
an observatory, but the trouble is it is
not "high up" Thos. A Hendricks
is the only Democratic statesman we
can think of who has a head as big
as a dome all the year aroun Mr..
Hendricks is the man.

A NOVEL PLANK.

The Republicans of Pennsylvania
have ranged themselves alongside of
their brethren in Ohio in favoring a
high protective tariff. But, like old
stagers, they throw a sop to those of
their party, who are a little shaky in
their faith in protection, in the shape
of a novel plank in their platform
which reads as follows: "That any
surplus in the public treasury arising
from redundant revenue should,
after paying the national debt, as
conditions permit, be distributed
from time to time to the several
States upon the basis of population,
to relieve them from the burdens of
local taxation and to provide means
for the education of their people,"
That is, they are willing to give
back to the laboripg classes a portion
of the money wrung from them by a
system of oppressive taxation in the
shape of an onerous tariff upon
everything they eat, drink and wear.
The voters of Pennsylvania will
doubtless contend the better plan
would be not to create a redundant
revenue" in the first place, but
lea We the money in the hands Of the
people to dispose of it as seems to
them most proper. 1t is a very novel
plank in a platform and the promise
it contains forcibly reminds one of
the promise the devil made to the
Savior upon a certain occasion. It
will not win.

Between the doctors and newspa-
per correspondents Queen Victoria is
having al uncertain tenure on life.
The latest concerning her condition
says she has become morose again,
and is living in great retirement at
Windsor. Her disposition has new
taken a singular turn. She insists
on having the most extraordinary
precautions taken for her personal
safety. Her Majesty seems to believe
that it is necessary for her to be Sc
cluded from supposed enemies as for
the Gear of Russia, and appears at
times to suppose that her subjects are
restless and discontinued and should
be barred as far as possiblefSrom any
approach to her person. Her mental
condition is that of an exceedingly
irritable and gloomy person. For
the first time In her life the Queen
the other day refused to attend the
Prince of Wales garden party.

IS IT A CARRIAGE OR A
HORSE.

The New York Morning Jomnalin
referring to a recent decision concern
ing the status of the bicycle says:
"The bicyclists have won a great le-
gal victory. A learned judge in
Washington has decided that aabicy-
Gle is a carriage and that the gentle
man who rides in it, or ON it, has the
same rights as other carriages and
drivers on the public highways. If
this decision is good law; Is we are
inclined to think it is, the bicycle
people can be as Independent as
Broadway stage drivers and run
down whom they please. There is
one knotty point in the case, how
ever, which is somewhat difficult to
get over. In England, the native place
of the bicycle, it has been held that it
is a horss-an iron horse-but never
theless a horse. How can a thing be
a horse in Great Britain and a car
riage in Washington? Washington
judges are extraordinary beings, it is
true, but they should be able to see
the difference bstween a cart or a
carriage and q horse"

The New York Financial and
Mining Journal of the 5th inst. thus
refers to the recent great shipment of
bullion from Helena: "Sixty car
loads of gold and silver bullion, l.
100000 pounds, from the Gregory
Consolidated mine, were shipped
from Helena to-day by special fast
trains over the Northern Pacific by
S. T. Hauser, President of the First
National Bank, Helena. 1t goes to
Newark, N. j., to be refined" So
says a dispatch from Bismarck, Da.
kota. Newark is a good healthy
place to send silver and gold. There
are a number of banks there which
will be hungry for something to fill up
the sad gaps made by dear, departed
cashiers, who are now in Trenton
where the wicked cease from troub-
ling and the weary are at rest.

If the San Francisco Chronicle
may be believed, Dennis Kearney is
working in the interests of railroads.
1t says: "The Eastern press seems to
have just walked up to the fact that
Dennis Kearney is a creature of the
railroad, but he had to 60 to Chicago
and air some Of his peculiar logic be-
fore this truth flashed upon them.
For more than two years he has been
the consistent advocate Of the rail-
road here, under a variety OF specious
disguises, and it appears strange that
his present performance at the East
should call for any special COM
ment."

N. Y. Morning Journal: Assistant
Secretary New thinks the late attack
on the trade dollar which has ban
ished it from polite financial circles
was conducted by the brokers. Their
idea, he thinks, was to d~epreciate its
value so that they could buy it cheap
and make a large profit by getting the
government to redeem it at par.
If this theory be correct, we shall
knew it early in December when con-
gress Comes together. A trade dollar
lobby will be certain to invade the
Capitol and hundreds of enthusiastic
patriots will 60 around with cards
announcing that the now discarded
coin will be gladly taken in payment
of all services. The trade dollar is
down, but it is not depressed. It
may be powerless to buy even a pint

its purchasing qualities at Washing

the men who pose in the character of

IOWA RS.

The Greenback party in Iowa is
an important factor in the defeat of
the Republicans In the ensuing cleo
ton in that State. It has met in
convention and adopted a platform
which in every plank places the
party in direct antagonism to the
dominant one. Contrary to expsc-
tation, the convention failed to take
= stand in regard to prohibition,
thus leaving each party to fight tho
forthcoming battle upon the princi-
pies announced in its platform. The
result cannot be considered doubt
full. Taking the vote cast on the
prohibition amendment q year ago
As the basis of an estimate, it is diff
cult to see how the Republicans can
elect their ticket. There wa a ma
jority of nearly 10000 given
for the amendment, and it
is claimed there was more than
that number of Democrats and
Greenbackers who voted for it. But
that was q n~on-partisan election,
while now the Republicans will have
to depend entirely upon the prohibl-
ton element in their own party for
success. The'temperance Democrats
will vote their own ticket and the
Greenbackers will support theirs,
and in view of the immense defec-
ton Of the Republicans, owing to
the prohibition plank in their plat
form, it will puzzle the most keen
to see where a Republican
majority is to be obtained. And then
again the protective plank in the Re-
publican platform will drive many
that party who have here
tofors acted with it.. The Iowa
.reenbackers, protection and prehi-
oition will cook the Republican
yoose in the fall election.
