hi. Harrison and family and S N.
Williams intend starting to Las Vega,
to-day Thursday,
Mr.. win Liltcll. a practical brick
maker, aud a sou of our popular towns-
mau, w. j. Liitell. will burn kiln of
brick here this spring.
B +. Wilson. who has b en- working Q
on the Billy Gil! mine, arrived in town
Tuesday night. Mr.. Wilson has a
number of prospects in the Nogal dis
lrict, and assures ia that he j. satisfied
with the outlook for the future. lie
is now on his way to Vegas to confer
with parties interested with him.
Prospecting on Baxter mountain is
livclier than ever this spring. Several
blind leads have been discovered that
show exceedingly well. While the
first discoveries We're enough to war
rant town, every year they are in
creased in number, and tho original
discoveries grow richer as depth is
gained.
The new law passed by the Terrific.
rial legislature taxing cattle brought
in to the territory, is not liked by the
catlcmen. One dollar per head is
charged for bloodcd stock, twenty
cents per head for common stock, in
lots not exceeding 1000 and ten cents
per head for larger numbers besides
mileage to the Inspector. In our
opinion a premium should be given to
men that bring fine grade Of cattle
into the territory, instead of TAXI q
them for it.
While l.. Hale and J. a. Helphing-
stine were in the Jicarila mountains
prospecting, Mr.. Helphingstinc quito
unexpectedly came upcn G mountain
lion. 1t was seemingly sleeping, and
rs Mr.. H"lphingstine had no arms, he
felt like he had mot long to tarry" in
that neighborhood, He hailooed to
Mr.. Hale and made many signs of dis
trcss, and at last made that gentleman
understand that he was wanted. When
Mr. Hale came in speaking distance, he
inquired VIII, thrr or not lie had found
water or struck a rich leau, which lead
Mr.. JlelphingStinc to remark that he
nad struck big lead, and that if he
had siX-shooter he would scatter
cold lead enough to lead prospcctors
to believe that they had struck lead
mill. Mr. Hale asked him if the lion
was sleeping or dtlrised. Hephing-
slime replied that he was afraid of it
If it was alive, and afraid OF il if it
was dead" After an examination it
was found that the lion was as dead as
our last years boom.

Golden Era:
The special agent of the Interior
Department, IL. II. Eddy, has been
among us; has had his say about land
frauds in this portion of the territory,
and, doubtless, we will soon have an
official report, showing how extensive
this land steal has been.
Cattle men all busy preparing 70,
the spring round up, now SO near Of
hand.
Farmers clerning their bitches
trimming their young trees, breaking
their land and will commence corn
planting in about week.
Gass green in low lands, and every.
thing putting on spring attire.
Many miles of new fencing have
been PIT up in this valley the past
winter, and soon the best porious of
the country hereabouts will be under
fence. Barbed wire is used entirely,
and seems to answer all practical pur-
poses. Stock soon learn too keep away
from it.
Some sickness in tho neighborhood,
but of very mild type and handled
successfully by our local physicians
We are beginning to feel little anx-
ious about the doings of the present
! Legislature. We can hear of nothin Q
that that body has done so far that
would reflect credit on congress OF
apes Our people at first indulged
the hope that some healthy and much
needed laws would he passed-such as
an amendment to the jury law, road
law, &c, but we reckon ded badly, 70,
1t is evident now, that the members
the present Legislature care little for
the people, aud are interested mainly
in their individual aggrandizemeDt
and political prefcrment. Wen now in
dulgc anothc hope-that the Con grcss
of the United States will refuse TO pay
the scnscless idiots n dollar, and refuse
to recognize anything they have done
as legal PEcos.

Golden Era:
Tired and foot sore rambling around
this Ancient City, concluded to retire
TO my Groom, and while resting up
drop you a few !insas leave here to-
morrow for the lower country. Will
probably go to the state of Durango,
three hundred miles south. 1t is i'm
possible to do anything within one
hundred miles of this place in he way
of buying cattle, as there has been
great many buyers here, and the prico
of cattle is out of all reason, ranging
from Sl7 to $50 per head tor mixed
lots. Owners will not set a price on
selected stock. promised several of
the boys to keep them posted as to
prices, but find everything so different
from what ! expected, and concluded
that the ERA would be the best medium
to inform them and tho quickest way
for me
Would like very much to give you a
detailed description Of this plao', but
do not feel competent to do the subject
justice. There are n number of grand
building, the most noticeable being the
church. which covers almost an acre
of ground. The main building is so
feet high, with four towers, each Is
feet high. The building material is u
soft marble, like stone. The building
is beautifully carved, inside and ont.
This structure was commenced 200
years ago and they arc still working en-
it.
There is also in course of erection
state house, which will be, when COM
pleted, a grand buildin e: also tho
mint and Governors residence and
hundreds more, all built of cut stone
and elegantly carved. The state Of
Chihuahua as 5000 soldiers here and
a splendid brass band that plays three
nights in the week in the plAcita. The
placita is beautiful square, covered
with trees and tastcfully arranged
walks, with fountain in the center.
This park at night is illuminated and
the pretty senoritas in their pretty silk
gowns show up immense.
Yours truly,

Editor of the Chronicle:
SIR I'm your issue of the 2lst inst.
noticed an article signed "Ctizen," in
which he has taken upon himself to say
much that, in the opinion of many good
citizens, is presumptious.
lst-He says the city has been safe I'm.
der the present officials, true, but had it
been otherwise, we have laws governing
this city that would have been brought
to bear upon them, had they jeopardized
the safety Of the city.
Will. citizens deny the fact that in
many instances Improvements could
hays been made that would benefit in
stead of opress, as they have done.
The same disease has shown itself to q
certain extent in this city during the
past year, that has caused and is causing
much disapprobation, yea, and suffering,
in our eastern states, viz, monopoly.
2nd-"C Citizen" advocates the very
cause that has ruined many and been
the downfall of many nations, viz, being
satisfied without an effort to improve.
To my mind the writer has bit off more
than he can "chaw." To my knowledge
the general public is not satisfied, as will
be proved upon election day, notwith-
Citizens presumption and I'M
called for suggestions to the contrary.
Respectfully,

The Play Of Ingonar.


The Rochester Evening Journal, in
speaking of "Ingomar" as played by Miss
Phosa McAllister and her company,
says: 1t is play full Of beautiful pic
lures from old Greece, alternating be-
tween the scenes of Parthenia's home in
Massillia and the savage mountain lair
of Ineomar, the barbarian, and it's plot
affords every opportunity for an actress
like Miss McAllister to display not only
the beauty Of her talents but abounds in
situations where the combined graces of
robe and posture and classic ideality of
face and form, bear an important impress
sion upon the audience. Such role as
this artists Parthenia makes the average
drama seem very commonplace, and the
part of Ingomar, as given by Mr.. Butler,
is equally striking for it's unique attrac-
tions and strength. The tanning of her
savage captor by the fair Parthenia and
leading him by silken chains to q willing
citizenship within the walls of Massillia
involved the exercise on the part of the
actress and actor of the highest art Of
the stage.

Editor Ofthe Chronicle:

Editor of the Chronicle:
SIR:-As have pitched my tent in
Bozeman permanently, you will permit
me as one of its citizens to say word
in reference to the forthcoming city. cleo
ton. It seems from close observation,
that there are quite a number of new
Richmonds coming daily to the surface,
for the purpose of entering the political
field and if possible to save the country.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let me say this much:
That the country or Their Bozeman has
been very safe under the rule of the pres
ent officials, there were not too manv
ordinances passed and only such were
passed which this town can not well dis
pense with, differences between the pre-
siding officer and the council served to
prove the earnestness of that body to
labor for the common welfare of this city,
in fact every gentleman holding an
Office under the city charter has acquit-
ted himself to the full satisfaction of the
general public, we can for this reason,
not improve bv selecting another set Of
officers; others may fill the Offices as well
but certainly no better. You will there
foce permit me to submit to the qualified
voters of Bozeman, through the daily
Chronicle, the following proposition, i e.
To call at some suitable day a public
meeting, there and then nominate all of
those officers whose term expires next
month. Thus we will show our appre-
citation of their services by giving them
our unanimous vote. which is the wish
Of the majority Of the voters of Bozeman.

feet now; houses are going up in every
