There is a rumor aioat that q gas company is
a he org4nized in Butte. Butte has been
blessed FIR a long time with an unlimited
,usurhy of gas works. but these gas works were
mined to Individuals who were not blessed,
"a rule, with much capital. But 1t must be
aid tha. they were always ready to throw light
s5Ou any subject that might come up ard have
never been known to charge ANYTHING for their
,u enditure of gas. If this new company a
uy succeed in getting all these old gas works
xvtber and combining the gas the com.
nv will get immensely rich in q short time
dgas will be cheaper than daylight.

mined yesterday. They had an abundance OF
sport. but run short Of fish. They saw large
bes OF fish. but the fish also saw the leader Of
The fishing party. and he seemed to be 80 lean
that bis looks frightened them, for they thought
too thin. The party fshed ali day sunday,
but they did not break the Sabbath day. for
they did not catch anything. Yesterday, just
before the party left, a poor fish took hold OF
the bait of the afore said slim gentleman That
had g lonesome time of it. He was not
1ovded and jos'led about by others. and when
be fish was brought tn the city 1t was found
hat 1t weighed iu t f. ur ounces.

N another good beating, before they try their
Ids on their victims in the Butte City Cricket
b. The interest evinced by several OF our
