The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1883-11-07

Hall returned I plead earnestly to
spend the night there. Our opinion
is that miners do not receive half
enough pay for the risks they run to
life and limb. and, although the
pump man was evidently guying .
"tenderfoot," yet I am convinced the
safest spot inside of a mine is outside
of it. Our return upwards was easy
and rapid. and when we once more
struck daylight we felt thankful, al
though it was quite dark, and walk
ing down the steep mountain side to-
our carriage, we drove back to the
hotel, well pleased with our expert
ence, but congratulating ourselves
that no accident had befailen us.
BUTTE CITY HAS CHURCHES
of all denominations and q number
of fine private residences, and for q
mining camp is remarkable for its
good order and the excellent class of
people it contains. Gambling is a
great vice and gambling houses are
open day and night. No conceal
ment is attempted, and when you
enter one to look on, there is no solicit
tation for you to play. The county
and territory derive a heavy revenue
from these houses, and the law
seems to foster them rather than to
denounce and punish them. 1 am
afraid the hard-worked miner leaves
the most of bis earnings in these
dens of vice, and it is question, in
spite of what he earns, whether after
all he is not left poorer than the la
borer Of the North, who gets less
wages, but has no such broad and
glazing inducements to part with 1t.
John Chinaman is seen here just as
he is in Portland. living i'll the same
way and working ont the same des'

We left Butte this morning greatly
impressed with the rich resources
that center in and around her, feeling
proud of her development and thank
full to her people for the opportunity
of seeing and examining one of the
greatest and richest mining camps in
Montana.

Special Correspondence of the MINER

Special Correspondence Of the MINER
DEER LODGE, Nov. 6. 1888.
Little of importance has transpired
since my last, yet one or two items
of news at ham suggests that l ap-
pend them for publication.
Last night orders came from the
'p"wers that be" to discharge Col.
Botkin, warden of the penitentiary,
and M. M. Lockwood, who acted In
the capacity of deputy warden. Just
what brought about this sudden hap
pening no one can tell A short
time ago a government inspector VS.
here posing around, and while he
was treated superbIy, not only by the
affable Col. Botkin, but by the citi-
zens generally, it is suspected he was
unkind enough to send in an ugly
word to the department.. OF course
the Colonel vas not particularly at
tached to the thankless situation and
often spoke of resigning. Your
correspondent merely echoes the SEN
timent of this community in express
ing regret that the genial Colonel
Botkin is no longer connected with
the "Pen." As to Mr.. Lockwood. it
is alleged that he was too fond Of the
"ardent" for AZ efficient guard, al
though lie had served in that capac-
ity for over four years, and has had
many narrow escapes from the jaws
of death. Mr.. E.. G.. Creel, a guard,
has been elevated to the wardenship,
but it is thought to be temporary.
Some pet, No doubt, will find his way
thither from affair at no distant day.
We await further developments be-

The Constitutional Convention
election for delegates is running
smoothly at this hour, l o'clock p.
M. Eighty-three votes had been
polled, the majority of which were
Democratic. One Republican
scratched Capt. Mills for Mr.. Dixon,
and if it ever ome around
right his brethren will re-
member it. This was the
talk on the street this morning. Your
correspondent looked up the facts in
the case, and found that the good Re-
publican who dared scratch the
"Father of his Country was the
agreeable Capt. Mills himself. The
Captain is a modest man. The sa~
looms are all closed. but it Is not so
certain that no 'angie-leg is being
imbibed.
Mrs. NJ. E.. Todd, we'll known in
Butte, is having fixed up an elegant
oyster room on the same block with

to furnish a long felt need in Deer
Lodge.
The weather is cold and cloudy,
but no snow. Yours truly.

An Adtllsonian Query.

The question has been raised whether
an author can refer to his own produc-
tions in terms of commentator. In
some instances this has been done, not
Witbstandinu he risk of censure, one OF
the most striking instances being found
in Addison. This distinguished writer.
after completing his tragedy of ''Cato,
felt the importance of calling the atten-
ton of the public to its most impressive
les on the immortality of the soul. L
find this in the Sbcctator for December
5, l1li, which opens with disquIsItlon
on eternity and closes thus:
have Il translation of the specc! of Cato.
which hath accidentally fallen into my hands
and which for conci -cncsS. purify ana e!c-
gancc, can not be sufficiently admired.
He then gives the speech in Latin
hexameters on one side of the page,
while the other side contains the trans
lation, beginning ''lt must be so; Plato,
thou reasonest WE'LL This speech,
which is termed ''CatO's soliloquy,
was in Addison's opinion the best thing
in the play, and hence he translates it
into Latin and gives it to his readers as
a fragment of antiquity. Such is the
example Addison gives us of an author
commencing his own works. Pope dis
covered it and was no doubt highly
amused at AddisOn's self-complacency,
but when the me came to use it in sa-
tire he made it very effective. Addison
afterward incurred Pope's displeasure,
and the latter retorted by that scathing
paragraph which is one of the curiosl-
ties of literature. Here he couples Adj
Olson and his hero in the following
manner:
Like Cato give his little senate laws
And sit attentive to his own applause.
