Mullan Tunnel.

Contractor Muir, who is in town, informs
us that work is again in progress from the
east end of Mullan tunnel and has been since
Tuesday. A delay of nearly six weeks was
occasioned in replacing the temporary tim
bers by permanent ones. This would have
to be done anyway before trains could pass
through the tunnel, and as a slight delay was
caused by the falling down of few rocks at
point where water was dripping through q
seam of granite, Mr.. Muir therefore concIud-
ed that he could save time by putting in per-
manent timbers at once. No more temporary
timbering will be done. The tunnel is now
in 1865 feet, full size, from the east end, and
heading from the west end is cut out for a
distance Of about 1900 feet, leaving about 800
feet yet to be done before daylight will be let
through the range. Mr.. Muir considers it as
safe to predict that the tunnel will be COM
pleted and ready for the track by August LIST.

LYNCHING NEAR HELENA.
A Couple of Hard Cases Swung TO Pine
Trees.

Last Friday night the barn of ii. G.. Nc
Nally, near the old "Blue Wing" station,
eleven miles ont on the Helena road toward
Blackfoot, as the stages used to run, was
burned, with eight horses, three cows, sad
dies, harness, hay and grain therein. Mr..
McNally aweke about twelve o'clock, when
the building was In flames, and tried to get
10 the door TO release the animals, but the
fierce wind blew such volume of smoke
and flame against him that he was driven
away His loss was about $1,000 1t was be-
lieyed the barn was fired by an incendiary.
Tuesday morning of this week Mr.. J. III.
williams, who had come over in his spring
wagon from Iron Ridge tunnel, on Monday,
informed ms that while driving along early
on Monday morning thfs side the little
stream that puts in at Blue Wing station, he
saw two men ahead OF him, one on each side
the road, who looked A. If they were stand.

trees He Thought they were waiting TO ask
for ride. On nearer approach they proved

rs dead rs salt maclerel. He drove on with
out attempting Ia get mp any conversation.
The Helena papers give the sequel to this
effect. Word reached Helena that two men
were hanging on trees near the Eleven Mile
House. They were. old man Coombs, tho
postmaster, and man named Smith, bad
character who had been hanging around
Coombsr place for some weeks. The bodies
were rslken 10 Helena 1t appears they were
suspicioned of firing McNally's barn and
that the evidence against them was deemed
conclusive. About twelve O'Clock Sunday
night twelve or fifteen men assembled near
CoomhS's house. Two men went to the door
and called Coombs and smith out. Mrs.
Coombs heard them walk away with the two
men. talking. She appears TO have thought
it nothing unusual, returned TO bed, and did
not know that she was n widow until n neigh
Dor Informed her in the morning, that her
hus band and Smith were hanging on quaking
aspen trees down the road. The knot on
Coombs's rope had the regulation tie; that of
Smiths was n bungling Job. The bodies were
taken 10 Helena with the ropes on, just as
found, and buried Tuesday.
Judge Wade on Monday instructed the
Sheriff 10 make every effort to- apprehend
the persons who bad lynched Coombs and
Smiths The vigilante werk down about

spirit OF. summary punishment which had

look for continuance of these midnight ex-
ecutions while railroad construction contin-

THE DRUM LUMMoN SuPERINTEN.
DENT.
The London Company Places n First-Class
Miner in Charge.

Mr.. George Atwood, +. q. s., Associate
Mem. Inst. G. f., II. &. S., etc, Consulting
Mining Engineer of Ulster Place, London,
was In Deer Lodge one day this week. He
came through from London without stoppage
on his way 10 Helena, TO take charge Of the
Drum Lummon mine for the English COM
pany which has lately purchased that proper
ty. From our townsman, III. r. Whitehill,
Esq, formerly State Mineralogist Of Neva-
da, an old acquaintance of Mr.. Attwoods,
we learn that Mr.. A. has had great expert
ence In mining matters in this country, hav-
ing been superintendent of such mines rs
the Ophir, Central, Crown Point, Belcher
and Julia ON the Comstock lode from 1861 to
1869. He was the first assayer appointed by
the President of the u. 8. for the Branch
Mint at Carson, which position he gave up
TO take charge of the famous Eberhardt and
Aurora mines in White Pine District. during
the palmy days of that once lively camp.
While there, he built for his company the
most complete and smoothest running sixty
stamp quartz mill ever in operation in Ne
vada. In 1873 he was placed in charge Of the
Emma mine at Salt Lake, ty the British
shareholders, and through him they FIRST dis
covered the fraud which had been perpetra-
ted In the sale of that mine. For the past
ten years Mr.. Atwood has resided in Lon
don, where he has had lucrative business ~
consulting engineer fer the principal rail-
road, canal and dock companies. During
this time he has examined ma any ofthe mines
In Europe and South America; while In the
after cuntry he wR the chief engineer Of
the Orinoco River railroad company, and in
spector for European capitalists Of the Pam
anna Canal. But few men have had greater
experience In their professions than Mr..
Atwood, and the directors of the Drum
Lummon have been exceedingly fortunate In
securing his services. He has always been
very popular mining superinten dent with
businessmen and miners, for he always makes
lively times for them wherever he goes. And
backed ~ he IL now, by y strong company
and good mine, IL win be ver.s strange IL he
does not create boom In the business of
quartz mining in the vicinity OF Helena.

The report Of receipts and expenditures of
Deer Lodge County, published in this issue,
shows satisfactory state Of affairs. The tax
levy last year was reduced to fifteen mills,
which was thought would be scarcely sufi-
cient to meet current expenses, but 1t has
done this and little more. The statement
shows an apparent reduction of debt of ST.
250.4O, but the actual reduction is very little,
the apparent decrease being caused by an ex-
cess over last year of cash on hand in various
funds, which is subject to be drawn out. The
tax levy is again increased one mill this year
but as that is for school money it will not 60
toward reducing the debt. The percentage
to be paid from licenses is reduced from 40 to
Is per cent and the provisions for collecting
poll tax are so amended as to insure much
larger returns from that source. Aside from
this the material increase of taxable property
warrants the belief, that, unless extraordin-
airy court expenses are incurred, the debt will
be considerably reduced the present year.
We believe the county has very careful,
prudent, honest Board of Commissioners and
good Assessor and Treasurer, and with
these officers to gather in and disburse the
main revenues the outlook il good.

What delightful weather we've been hay
ing 1t is true old Winter may return and
send us all shivering to our firesides; but his
backbone is broken, and Spring, joyous
Spring! with its beautiful sunshine and
balmy zephyrs, will soon be here, welcome
visitor. 1t Is appropriate then that we should
talk about New Spring Goods, for we have
them-a greater assortment, perhaps, than
can be found elsewhere in this Territory
and you need them-some of them at least.
If you need them, you must buy them of
some one. Where will you buy? If you are
practical business-like person-and we've
no doubt you are-yon will buy where you
can get the best suited for the least money.
Unless we can offer these inducements we
have no right whatever to expect even a
share Of your patronage. That our assort-
ment Of Foreign and Domestic Goods of
every line we profess to carry is as large and
varied as that of any other in the Territory,
we think, none will deny-we believe it to
be more so. There is no doubt we carry more
Fine Goods than any other house in Mon
lana. Now, what about prices? We have
simply this to say. If prices are not salts
factory Tor goods either we will refund the
money on return Of goods. Is that fair?
Doesn't it look as though we are quite con-
fident In respect to both goods aud prices /?
We have advantages in buying that few
houses possess; and buying, you know, is the
secret Of being able to sell low.
Carpets wallpaper and other house fur
nishing goods have become prominent
feature of our business, and, of these, no
such stock can be found between Chicago
and the Pacific. This is also true of our
stock of Dress Goods--ready made suits and
wraps for ladies, misses and children. We
are now receiving stacks of New Goods
daily in every department, and we will be
pleased to send you Samples of Dress Goods,
Wallpaper, Etc, on application. Send us
trial order and we win assume all risks.
These are some of the New Shades of
Dress Goods which we have in Silks, Sati ms,
Nuns Yelling, satteen, Serge, Etc:-"Etna,"
a reddish terra-cotta; "Frambrio," or rasp-
berry red; "Fraise and Judea," strawberry
reds, shell pink, etc; "Bleu Electrique,'
light cadet blue; s'Souris" q mouse color;
Alicante" light reddish brown, and other
browns named "Partaga," "TabacD and
"Harana;" "venetia," q bronze green; "Bor-
deaux," various shades cf wine reds; "Ophe-
LA" the French lilac shade, and light pinks
and blues. We have Kid Gloves, Ribbons,
Etc, to match.
We win be glad to hear from every reader
Of this paper. Very respectfully,
