Mint Directorl Burchard's forth
coming report will contain the fol-
lowing statistics of the production of
precioas metals: Gold, $31 500, 600;
silver, SIG, 800, 900; total. $40, 800 900,
or an increase of 81, 6O0, 900 over the
output in 1881. For the first six
months of 1883 the product is esti-
mated at SIG, $50, 900 gold, So, 400, 600
silver, and $50, $4,000 total; the rate
of production being assumed to be
the same as in 1882.
The production of copper in 1882
was 81, 646, 1872 pounds, worth, at an
average of liz cents per pound in
New York, SIG, $685. 91. For the first
half of 1883 the production is esti-
mated at IS, O00, 900 pounds, worth, at
an average in New YORK of 14.65
per pound, IS, 500, 600. The spot value
of copper at the point of production
is a matter which cannot be stated
with any accuracy; nor was any at
tempt made to ascertain the number
of tons of copper ore mined. In 1882
1926, 900 pounds of b%luestone, worth
$191, 1877, were made; and in the first

INSPECTION.
The Short Visit Of q Party of
Railroad Managers to
Butte.

The scientific precision and bust
ness-like manner in which the rail-
road business, in all its branches, is
now conducted, is M of the results
of large experience and the wonder
full growth of the railroad interests,
which has made more effective meth
DDS of management an absolute ne
cessity, and the effect is palpable in
the improved service which charac-
terizes the operation of the great
trunk lines. The visit to Butte of
Assistant General Manager T. L..
Kim5all, of the Union Pacific r. R.,
accompanied by heads of the various
departments of that great tr%ansconti-
mental highway, is but a detail OF
this advanced method of manage
ment. The party was composed OF
the heads of departments, who are
inspecting the road and its equip
ments, each with a view to ascertain
ing the condition and necessities of
his own department. Mr.. Klmball
takes a general view of the road. The
Superintendent of Construction ex-
amines the road bed. The master
mechanic looks over the machine
shops, round houses and locomotives
The master car builder a%scectains the
condition of rolling stock and so on.
Besides Mr.. Kimball the party in
cluded Messrs. J. H.Congdon, J.

snd the train pulled out for the
mouth of Little Blackfoot. It is un-
derstood that Mr.. Kimball said, while
here, that the iron for the third rail
to Garrison Junction has been rolled,
that it could be laid in sixty days and
that it would probably be
laid this fall. though the matter of
retaining the narrow guAge and
adopting the system of transferable
cars with the Northern Pacific had
been considered. Regarding the
Oregon Short Line, Mr.. Kimball
said the work of construction would
be pushed rapidly forward, and that
connection would be made this fall
At Burnt River, with the 0. S. N.
Co.'s transcontinental system of
roads. The entire party expressed
great surprise and qualification at
the evidences of thrift and prosperity
BY which Butte is surrounded.

STROLLING IN THE A r
Some Butteites who are Recreat-
ing in Wonderland this
Season.

The travel to the National Park
this season is unprecedented and it is
expected that before the close of the
season, which will probably last un-
til the middle of October, at least
5000 more people will see its wonders.
Tourists who have returned from the
Park say that the route from Mann
moth Hot Springs to geyser basin is
so constantly travelled that it is ike a
beaten country road, while the line
of white covered wagons and stages
remind one of a we'll travelled emil
grant trail. The same is true in a
lesser degree of other main routes
through the Park.
Notwithstanding the increased rail-
road facilities, which enable the tour
list to leave Helena in the morning
and land at the Mammoth Hot
Springs before shutdown of the
same day, many ex~cursionists
prefer to travel by their own
conveyance, and most of the parties
from Butte have outfitted here with
teams, saddle horses, camp equipage,
etc., and taken the overland route
direct to the Park. Among Butteites
already enjoying the wonders and
recreations of the Park are: Hon.
John Moves. with his wife and chill
dren; Miss Lizzie Noyes. his niece;
Miss Ella Meiklejohn, and Mr.. T. B.
Harper, DIR. and Mrs. Todd, Mr..
Hoack and Miss Reynolds. During
tho past week a party consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs. V. A. Wallace, Mrs.
", G. Beck and D. R, Beck formed
a very pleasant excursion, which left
with teams and saddle animals for
the Park. Tomorrow morning an
other large pvrty will leave with
their own teams and camping outfit.

A Montana Glacier.

Prof. Pumpelly's northern trans
continental survey party while work
ing in the Rocky range, $50 miles
north of Missoula, discovered a true
glacier, having a frontage of at least
a mile and with a face estimated at
least 500 feet in perpendicular height.
From underneath this mountain OF
ice flowed a stream of milky-celored
resulting from the melting ice. The
scenery in the unfrequented region
where the glacier was found is de-
scribed as being grandly picturesque
and more varied in its character than
that of the Yosemite valley of Cali
tornia. It is called Marias Pass, and
the snow clad mountains thereabout
are a source of a multitude of streams,
among them the Marias river, a trib-
utary of the Missouri.

Tn speaking of the Big Camas mine

In speaking of the Big Camas mine
the HALEY Times says:
All the quartz so far assayed re-
turns SIS in gold and i3 ounces in
silver per ton, as an average, n IN
tons of such quartz could be delivered
Immediately to a mill.
The quartz is free milling, and can
be worked by amalgamation in bat
teries and on copper or silver plates:
The outcrop, for a distance OF 6oo feet
in length has not a break. The walls
are an average OF 40 feet apart, and
the vein between solid pay quartz.
The vein goes down as proven 10y de-
velopnlent, and a twenty-stamp
mill. if one can he secured. can be
kept at work the year through. Inc
vein being large two men a extract
ore sufficient to keep q twenty-stalnP
mill going, and water is to De had
near 10y.
Several promising gold veins are IN
this locality, but owned by prospect
ors who are unable to develop them.
A company if organized to bulld a
mill there, can secure very favorable
terms. and the result would be a very
lively free gold mining camp. Inc
mines are not over II miles e from
HALEY.

eve before been offered by any house
in the Territory, 80 far as we know.
What was our object, and what has
been the result? Our object was to
close out all summer goods and job
lots regardless Of present intrinsic
values rather than carry them over
until next season and suffer the heavy
depreciation that would unavoidably
ensue. In our judgment our present
loss has been far less than it would
be had We pursued the other policy.
These goods have nearly all been dis
posed of, and this then is the result.
What will be our next move on the
great checkerboard of business: We
will bridge the seasons. The next
few weeks constitute what is known
to the trade as "between seasons
the characteristic feature of which is
dullness. Shall we fold our arms
and wait until this dull season shall
have p passed, or, shall we force bus.:-
