The Weather.

It is customary in this climate dur
ing the winter to croak about our
cAangeful equinox's and wide ex-
tremes of temperature, while in the
summer we extole u equable tenn
pera1ure, cool nights and healthful
mountain breezes. It 10 true that
our winters are sometimes severe,
but the mean temperature from Oc-
tober to April will compare favora-
bly with any of the more southern
climates. which chill the marrow in
inter and broil the vitals in sum-
mer. while we experience but few
bitterly cold winter days and enjoy
the most delightful of summers, with
rarely a sultry day and the nights so
cool and braciag as to enable US to
sleep comfortably under a pair OF
blankets every night in July and
August.

RAPID TRANSIT.
A Pleasant Trip to Deer Lodge
Quick Time--Mountain Scan.
cry and Waving Fields
Of Grain,
A Finely Equipped and Differed
Railway.

Under the new schedule of the
Utah q Northern Railroad the facil-
lilies for intercourse between Butte
and Deer Lodge are so much inn
proved that many of the citizens of
Doth towns are availing themselves
OF the convenient hours of arrival
and departure and rapid transit to
make the quick and pleasant trip
between the two cities. Leaving
Butte at 1890 a. N. the curslonist
is rapidly whirled through our own
familiar valley past the Colorado
smelter and around the base of the
Big Butte to Silver Bow Junction,
from whence, following the stream
up the valley a panorama of grand
mountain scenery and pine clad
peaks rising precipitopsly upon either
side, Is opened to the view, which
many tourists would travel thou
sands of miles to zee. Leaving the
canyon, as if the panoramic scene
had been suddenly changed, the fer
tile fields and thrifty settlements of
Deer Lodge valley are spread before
the eye, and the waving fields of
grain, green verdure, and touches of
bright color thrown into the land
scape by the luxuriant growth of
flowers, is a grateful vision to the
denizen of our mountain metropolis,
whose eye has been long accustomed
to no brighter view than is presented
by our gray hillsides surmounted by
the dark green fringe of fir and pine.
After a two hours ride one finds
himself in the beautiful citv of the
valley, before ne has become wearied
of gazing at the varied scenery
through which he has passed. Two
hours are spent in visiting points of
interest about the town, which
gives ample time to visit
Captain Mills at the office of
M%ontana's great pictorial weekly,
the penitentiary, those popularh os-
~telries, the McBurney and Scott
House, and that scion Of transplanted
nobility, the Marquis of Todd, who
will tell you that the route to Butte
is envi10ned by unknown dangers
and insist upon terrifying you with a
"pocket pistol" Having been the
rounds and shook hands with all the
Valleyites you know,
the train is taken for the return trip
at 2:15 p. M, and you are again
bowled over the road, arriving in
Butte at Ais p. m. You have made
the round trip in six hours, uver a
road as finely equipped, and differed
by railroad officials as competent and
as are to Re found upon
any line in the broad land. You
have enjoyed the scenery and re-
turned invigorated and refreshed by
the little change of scene and breath
Of pure air laden with the perfume of
flowers which you have experienced.
The Utah and Northern manage
Ment are entitled to great credit for
the consideration they have. shown
in arranging trains between Butte
and Deer Lodge so conveniently for
The necessities Of both business ;and
pleasure.

EAGLE Rock, July II, 1888.
Last Sunday a constable from
Wyoming arrived in town with pa
peTs for the arrest of n McVey,
charged with stealing horses from q
party in that Territory. He had
tracked McVey to Eagle Rock. Nc
Vey had left word at several places
on his route that if he was pursued
he would leave the pursuing party
where they found him. Deputy
Sheriff Winn thought he could To-

whore McVey was working. They
arrived there at midnight and found
McVey in q hay-stack asleep. Vim
woke him and told him he wanted
him and to throw up his hands, at
the same time holding the muzzle Of
the gun near his head. McVey
jerked his hands up quickly striking
the gun and knocking it to one side.
Both barrels were cooked and one
was accidentally discharged, without
effect. McVey jumped up and run.
The constable and Wlnn both or
dered him to stop but he kept on
running. The constable fired q rife
and missed him. Winn then fired,
thirteen buckshot taking effect. Nc
Vey held up one hand, the other be-
ing disabled; he had left his revolt
vers in the bed. They made q bed
for him in the wagon and b, ought
him to town, where all that could be
was done for him. It is not expected
that he can live more than four or
five days at most. Tuesday night
the constable started with him for
Wyoming.

High water in Snake River has

The sluice boxes have generally been

ming work. One company is making
a ditch on the west side of the river.
A number of gentlemen from Chica-
60 will be at Eagle Rock this week.
They come on the part of the ST.
Paul Placer Mining Company. The
impression seems to be that the St.
Paul company are going tomine on
a large scale. It is made up of men
of large capital-mostly residents of
Chicago and st. Paul. It looks as
tho'gh they knew what they were
about. They have money to put out,
and they have been satisfied that
Snake River mining will give a sure
dividend, not of three per cent, like
government bonds, but of anything
from 10 to 100 per cent per month;
perhaps much more, for the outlay is
not large.

Bob Fenner, of Butte, came into

six miles below. Missoula, and Mr..

mencing to get things in shape. I
have been delayed considerably and
have been very busy. It was no
easy matter to label about 400 mines

ferent languages with value of ores
reduced to the respective coin value

The Castle Mountains.

This range, which has heretofore
been noted only for its grand caverns,
jagged cliffs and picturesque scenery,
is about to prove a rich mining dis
trict. Immense belts of iron and
some copper have long been known
to exist in their ~recesses, but they
have never attracted much attention.
The late development Of the Rip Van
Wrinkle is attracting prospectors, and
we confidentally expect to see a rich
camp developed in a short time. Al.
read several leads in the vicinity
have been located. The formation is
tirst-class. 1t is lime, slate, granite,
dolomites and perphyry, and since it
is almost entirely unprospected, we
may expect some big finds to be made.

in that region is about to begin in

asked for q separate vote upon agreeing
to IL.
Farley. of California. said the chief
burden of the tax on coal fell upon the
people of California. and shat this in
crease would add $1,000 year TO the
tax thus levied upon them.

prod iced the same kind of a combina-
ton with bills which were framed and
pushed forward upon the same principle

Negotiations had been conducted not
only in the lobby but openly on the
floor of the Senate. In this matter of
coal. there are large bodies of coal lands
IN West Virginia belonging to certain
gentlemen. Representatives of those in
terests were in the Senate voting money

gan, Il have no sort of concession to
make to monopolies arranged between
different industries of the United States

| have nothing but war to make on
these, and though | shall stand alone,
sir, will battle for right upon this
question. All other monopolies are
combined for mutual protection, and
why should not the Senator from West
Virginia and his confreres. The owners
of large coal fields. the same as these
monopolies, had theiriregular congresses.
and the Congress of the United States
which used to enact laws for the benefit
of the whole people, was now a servant
of these great monopolies and their
lobbyists. 1t has been shameless upon
this floor and every man here knows it. |
Every body feels it and it will be- pro- |
claimed from the floor of this Senate |
until the people of the United States |
shall know it and feel it. Williams, of |
Kentucky, thought coal ought to be on |
the free list; Miller. of California, said |
the Pacific coast paid three-fourths of |
all the tax on coal, and that he thought |
it was an Unfair application of protec- |
tive principles. Davis, of West Virgin
ia, explained that there was ne duty on |
anthracite coal, the kind used for do |
mestic purposes. AS to the argument |
of the Senator from Alabama, he |
thought a large portion of it unworthy |
of the Senator, or of notice. Morgan |
asked Davis to point out the worthy |
portions of the argument. Davis said |
he did not care to get in a personal con- I
