Runaways.

The leaders of q four-horse team,
attached to a wood wagon yesterday
on upper Main street, were unhitched
and tied to the ear of the wagon
while some repairs were being made
on their harness. The wheelers be-
coming frightened, started to run
and came down Main street at a live
ly gait. A man in the wagon was
thrown out just as they passed the
Centennial hotel, but received no IN
iuries. The horses dashing on down
the street came in contact with an
express wsgon, tearing the hind
wheels off: The horses attached to
the latter started to rum also, but
were stopped before going q great
distance. The first team kept on and
when opposite Donnell, Clark &
Larabie's bank were stopped by City
Marshal Venable and others, the
leaders having fallen and after being
dragged q short distance becoming
detached. Fortunately no one was
hurt.
Another runaway occurred on Park
street, and the wagon was rendered a
total wreck. There wasa man and q
boy n this wagon and both were
thrown out, the former without be-
ing hurt much, but the latter being
bruised very badly.

London Assurance was we'll re-
ceived last evening and the various
parts were as faverably taken as upon
the former production of the piece.
The audience manifested deep inter-
est throughout the performance. To-
night will be presented the double
bill of The Rough Diamond and OIL
yer Twist with Louise Rial as Mar
gary aud Nancy Sykes. This even
ing is the one selected by Miss Rial
for tbs complimentary benefit ten
dered to her by our citizeus and will
undoubtedly draw the largest house
during this popular company's en-
gagement here. These are the
best two selections that could
be made from their roper
toire. and, the occasion being
one of unusual interest, every men,
Der will do their utmost to make the
evenings entertainment a satisfac-
tory and pleasant n for all who at
tend. This is positively the last ap-
pearance of Louise Rial before the
Butte public, as she is not cast in the
play for Saturday evening. The
Alice band have kindly volunteered
to furnish choice selections from
solantbe for the occa sion, which will
render the entertainment doubly at
tractiye.

Glasses of Titles to Mines.

Three distinct classes of titles are
created by the mining laws of the
United States. These have been de-
fiued by the Secretary of the Interior,
as: little in fee-simple; 2-Title
by possession; 3-The complete eauit-
able title.
The first vests in the grantee of the
government in indefeasible title,
while the second vests a title in the
nature of an easement only. The
first, being an absolute grant by pur-
chase, and patent without condition,
is not defeasible; while the second, be-
ing a mere right of p0ssession aud en-
ioyment of profits, without purchase,
and upon condition, may be defeated
at any time by the failure of the party
in possession to comply with the con-
dition; viz, to perform the labor or
make the annual improvements re-
CURED by the statute. The equitable
title accrues immediately upon pur-
chase, for the entry entities the pur-
chaser to q patent, and the right to a
patent once vested is equivalent to a
patent issued.
Section 1924 of the Revised Stat.
utes. which defines the sizes of claims
locatable, and provides for forfeiture
on failure to comply with the condi-
tions, has reference solely to titles by
right of possession, and does not in
any way conflict with titles acquired
bv purchase. for in the latter case both
must be in one and the same person.
A title by right Of possession is
the lowest grade of title known to
the mining laws; the next is the
equitable title, which accrues upon
purchase and entry; while the third
and final grade is the fee-simple,
which is acquired by patent evidenc-
ing the legal title and merging this
in both the ~possessory and equitable
titles.
Where lands are acquired under
the pre-emption laws, it sometimes
occurs that the legal title may be in
one person and 4 superior equity in
another; but this cannot occur under
the operation of the mining laws, for
all legal and equitable adverse titles
and claims must be presented to and
passed upon by tine courts prior to the
issuance of patent, or be considered
as stale or abandoned. This question
was ex pressly decided upon by Judge
Field in the case of the Eureka Min
ing Company against the Richmond
Mining Company.-M Mining and Sci
entifc Press, Oct 20tA,

Grand Larceny.

Yesterday, before Justice f.. A.
Nichols, a preliminary examination
was held in the case Of the Territory
vs.. John F. Smith on the charge of
grand larceny. G.. w. Stapleton,
ESQ.,, was the attorney for the pros
ecution and John H. Duffy, Esq,
for the defense. The examination
consumed most of the afternoon, and
the defendant was held to answer at
and appear before the next term .
the district court to be held here on
the Sth day of March, 1884. Giving
his bonds for $500 he was released.
The case was one of alleged horse
stealing, in which the defence claims
that the horse was taken up as IA es-
stray and that the defendant had
openly and VIGOROUSLY, proclaimed
the fact, in this city and elsewhere,
that the horse was not his and that
he had been unable to discover the
proper owner.

HELENA PosIMAsTERsH1P.
The False Statement OriQiuated
From Wilkins Himself.

Governor Crosby has taken the
trouble to telegraph to the Inter
Mountain that the Helena special
which appeared in the MINER of the
25th inst. in which it was stated that
MI. Wilkins, his private secretary,
was appointed postmaster of Helena,
vice Fisk, resigned, is false. We re-
ceived the information per special
from the Helena press reporter and
published it as such. Last evening
we wired the same authority as to his
grounds for sending US the special.
The following is his answer:
Special to the MINER.
HELENA, Oct. rs:
The report that H. Brady Wilkins,
private secretary to the Governor.
had been appointed Postmaster of
Helena, proved incorrect. 1t was
founded on statements made here by
Wilkins himself, to his friends, in
which he earnestly avowed that he
was the new postmaster. It is sup
posed by many that the statement in
advance of any appointment being
made, vas thrown out as a feeler,
but that on account Of the general
dissatisfaction the Governor (who
evidently has the say in the matter,)
will recommend somebody else.

RanshaW Hall.

A packed house greeted Miss
Louise Rial last evening on the oc-
casion Of her benefit. Rough Dia-
mond'' and "Oliver Twist" were
presented with the full strength of
this admirable combination in the
cast Of each, Miss Rial as Margery
in the former and as Nancy Sykes in
the latter. These characters afforded
the lady a wide scope tn which to
display her remarkable powers as an
actress, and if the enthusiastic ap-
plause she received in every act may
be accepted as an evidence of her u
perior acting then a Butte audience
has never seen her equal on
a Montana stage. AS Nancy
Sykes Miss Rial has not a superior
on the American boards. Her
conception of the character is
true to nature and her de-
lineation of it is so faultlessly natu-
raj that the sympathy of the audience
is Unlisted ia her favor from the raising
to the falling Of the curtain. Mr.. Duff
field as Bill Sykes faultlessly pre-
scented the character in all its disa-
greeableness and succeeded admira-
bly, in implanting in the breast of
the vast asssmblage a horror of all
the Bill sykes of the land. Mr.. Win
ter as Pagan, and Stockwell as
Cousin Joe, made all that
could be made out of their respective
parts and fully sustained their repu-
tation as actors of superior merit.
The Misses Phglps, Mcclellan and
Brandon made new friends. while
Little May Brandon was excellent.
Messrs. Spencer, Eve-ham, Endres,
Martel and Neill were all good. In
fact the Jay Rial combination has
not q weak spot IN it.
The troupe leaves for the West to-
morrow. 1t is unnecessary to add
that Louise Rial carries with her the
sincere wishes of a host OF friends for
her future prosperity. We take
pleasure in commencing the lady to
the favorable consideration of the
people OH the Pacific Coast. They
will find in Louise Rial a devoted
student to her profession; an actress
of superior merit and an accomplished
lady.

A Cave in the Alice Mine with
a Probably Fatal Result.

Yesterday morning at about half
past four o'clock DR.. A. G. Bishop
was called upon to attend a man who
had been caved upon in the Alic
mine, and whose name we have as
vet been unable to obtain. The hang
ing wall in enc of the levels fell
striking him on the back between
the shoulders. No hopes are enter
tanned for the recovery of the unfor
tunate man. He has only been in
Butte about two weeks but was an
old-timer on the Pacific cOast.

Missoula Times, Oct. Gath.
"Mr. A. L. Foy, of Horse Plains,
came in on Saturday from the C@ur
d'Alene mines, and not only con-
firmed previous reports, but exhibit
ed several nuggets he himself had
taken out Of q claim On Pritchard
creek. Mr.. Foy is an old miner, and
said q few years ago he gave up chas-
ing after gold, but when this excite
ment broke out the old fever came
over him and he couldn't resist going.
He has a claim near Pritchard's, and
returned on Monday with supplies
to remain during the winter. He
believes a mining outlook was never
more promising than his. He said
rich quartz Lodges had besn found
higher up in the canyons, but the
prospectingin that direction is hardly
begun yet. The largest nugget he
had seen was valued at $40. He
showed six small nuggets taken from
his own claim.
Mr.. Foy thinks the Heron route to
the mines will be practicable at all
seasons of the year, and probably will
not be over twenty-five miles long.
A petition has been forwarded to the
POstOffice Department for a p0stOffice
with Pritchard as postmaster.
Pritchard creek. is quite "a large
stream and the bottom or valley av-
erages forty rods in width. It is ten
miles long and emptles into Eagle
creek, q stream fifteen or twenty
miles long which flows into a fork of
the Cnur d'Alene. The latter creek
is also said to be rich in gold its en-
tire length"
