Renshaw Opera House.

There was not such an audience at
Professor Martins entertainment last
evening at the Opera House As the
merits of the exhibition justified.
The Professor is really master Of his
art. His feats in legerdemain are far
in advance of those generally seen in
performances Of the kind. Some OF
them were really marvellous and
called forth demonstrations Of UNI
stinted applause from the pleased
auditors. As Il ventriloquist MI.
Martin stands in the front rank of
his profession. His matinee this at
ternoon PROMISES, AS it deserves, a
large attendance. Those who have
not already witnessed the Professors
remarkable exhibition Of slight of
hand and his unequalled powers as a
ventriloquist should not fail 10 be
present.

Mine Assessment Work.

Under the United States mining
law it is necessary that 500 should De
expended annually in labor or mate
rial on all unpatented mining claims.
This labor can be performed at any
time within the year dating from the
first of January to the 3lst of De-
cember of the same year. The labor
cannot be partly done in one year
and the remainder within the next
year, bat the fall amount must be
within the tWeivecalendar months as
stated. Persons holding claims cau-
not be too particular in the matter, as
a failure to comply with the law
makes locations liable to be jumped,
Many persons hold claims who fail to
DO their annual work as required by
law, and doubtless there are a num-
Der of such locations in this district.
For the benefit of all such the MINER
would aG wise that the anDuaI work
be attended to now, IS there are not
sixty days more in the present year
within which work can be done.

Langrishe Monday Evening.

The old time favorite actor !. H.
l.angrishe, or as he is better known
among his host Of friends in Mon
tapa, IS jolly Jack Langrishe, will
make his first appearance at Rem
shaw Opera House Monday evening
next in his great speciality "A Man in
a Maze" Manager Mcguire who al
rived from the East Side last evening
says that in all his experience he
never saw a more enthusiastic audi
ence than that which greeted this Old
time actor at Ming's Opera House on
his opening night there. The com.
pany are playing in Bozeman this
week until Saturday evening, when
Langrishe is to be rendered a cOmpli-
mentary benefit by Montana
pioneers at Ming's Opera House, Hell

is = foregone conclusion, as hundreds
of tickets are already disposed of.
The sale of seats for the Langrishe
engagement here begins this MORN
ing, and it is certain the metropolis
will Guido Helena in a royal recep-
ton to Jack Langrishe.

Having personally compared the

bearing the approval of the Gov

the whole truth requires that it
should be stated that these copies dis

jimmy Doran Killed.

Jimmy Doran, who was twice ar:
rested in this city, during the past
month, for assaulting Guss:e Wilson,
a prostitute, was shot and killed at
Shoshone last night. The only r!aus-
ible report of the occurrence that has
reached here is as follows: A man
known as big Red' got INTO some
trouble with "A railroad man, and both
were arrested. "Big Red was bailed
out, and the railroad boys took pos
session of the Jail and 1orcibly re-
moved their friend. The report
thereupon spread through town that
the Vigilantes had turned out to
clean out the pimps and sports. The
latter thereupon went and armed
themselves, Soon thereafter Jimmy
Doran's revolver was discharged;
and the constable believing he had
been attacked, shot Doran through
the heart. The latter soon bEeathed
his last, but before he died he said
lis gun had been discharged acct

The Occur d'Alene Mines.

George w. Odell of this city was
interviewed by a reporter of the
New North West on his return from
the Coeur d'Alene mines, and his
conclusion in regard to the diggings
briefly summed up are about as fol-
lows:
"There is not enough known about
the mines to pronounce them good or
bad. Some. good pay is got on rim
rock; bed rock has not been reached.
1t may prove a very rich camp or a
spotted one. 1t will be hard to work
because very flat. Pritchard says it
will probably yield 500, 0OO, 600, but
the fact is that he does not know
anything about it, except that he
has creviced a few years and taken
out enough money to live on. He
has recently leased two-thirds of his
claim to Porter, agent of a California
Company, for one-third of the pro-
ceeds. He sold the other one-third
for $4,000, but backed out when the
details were proposed. The report
that Pritchard creek is swampy and
unhealthy is not correct. From all
accounts it is gravelly-something
like Cottonwood creek. Its altitude
1890 feet, does not indicate severe
winters, and the only snow our in
formants found was 10 or IL inches of
wet snow on the top of the highest
range crossed. 1t is not believed
communication from Rathdrum or
will be interrupted during
the winter"

Butte Rod and Gun Club.

The shooting season of the above
club having closed, below Will be
found the record of the members of
the same for the season of 1889. The
club has a membership OF some 40,
composed of our most respected and
intelligent citizens, among whom
may be mentioned Governor Crosby
and Judge Galbraith. Earnest ef-
forts were made to have the laws for
the protection of game and fish re-
spected, but when members of the
grand jury are the first to violate
them, il IS not surprising that others
feel they can do the same. The club
proposes to go on in this direction in
the future with renewed energy, feel
ing tina. they have the sympathy and
encouragement of all true sportsmen.
Twenty-Five regular shoots" were
held, using glass balls and clay pig
cons, thrown from q revolving trap,

grandson, left the city yesterday for
a visit to Boston, Mass.
Robert Watson, Big Hole; Rodney

Valley, and G. Horn, Anaconda, are
registered at the Centennial.
Mr.. William Runlsey, the popular
Under Sheriff Of Lewis and Clarke
county, showed his good-looking
countenance upon the streets Of the
city last evening. The gentleman
meets many old east side friends
here who welcome bis presence with
unfeigned pleasure. Mr.. Rumsey
will leave this evening for the Capt.
tai City.
Major Pease, who is associated with
W. Tate Taylor in the smelling plant
at Spring Mountain, Idaho, paid this
Office a friendly call yesterday. The
smelter will be shut down for the
winter but will be started up again
early next spring. The product of
the works the past season has been
about 400 tons of copper silver matte.
The company's mines are reported as
looking well and next years output
is expected to be much larger than
that of this. The camp is isolated,
being fully seventy miles from the
railroad or other source of supply,
consequently developments must be
slow.
Mr.. VIM. Warf1eld, our ex-City
Marshal and one of the oldest resi-
dents of Butte, takes his departure
tomorrow morning for an extended
tour on the Pacific Coast, through
the Gulf States, up the Atlantic sea-
board to New York and from thence
through the Western States to his
mountain home. Mr.. War6eld's
health has been failing for some time
and this trip IS recommended by his
physicians. He will be accompanied
by his daughter, Miss Annie, who
resigned her position as teacher in
the public schools here for the pur-
pose Of attending her father in his
travels. Miss Warield is one of the
favorites in Butte society, and her
absence will create a void in the
city's social circle which her return
alone can fill. MIR. Warfield is a
large holder in some excellent min.
ing properties in Butte, which fact
will necessitate the cutting short of a
trip which otherwise would be pro-
longed to an indefinite time. The
MINER joins the hosts Of friends of
Mr.. and Miss Warfield in wishing
them a pleasant visit abroad and a
safe return to their mountain home.

MIR. Medhurst's Explanation.

We take pleasure in giving space to
MI. Medhurst's card, in explanation
OF the very embarrassing position in
which he finds himself placed
through the culpable ignorance of his
party advisers. The card is q manly,
straightforward expression of a gen.
tleman whose high sense Of honor
forbids him to occupy, for one mo-
ment, a false position before the PEG.
pie of the Territory. Mr.. Medhurst
had every reason to suppose he was
eligible to a seat in the Constitutional
Convention. He made the canvass
upon that supposition and was
elected in q field of some of
the ablest men in Silver Bow
county. MI. Medhurst is agentle-
man of recognized ability and from
his intimate knowledge of and thor
ough Identification with the princi-
pal industry of Silver Bow county he
would nave been an invaluable addi-
ton to its delegation at Helena That
he is not permitted to join the dele
cation in it's labors is a matter of re-
greet to all irrespective of party. That
Democrats share in that regret liz
shown in the fact that he drew a
large part of his support from their
ranks. Mr.. Medhurst's determine
ton to take no further action in the
matter is but the natural conclusion
ola gentleman who places too high an
estimate upon what is due from an
honorable man to contend for q posi-
ton which he would not have sought
had he not been misled In regard to
his eligibility.
