Gen. GrOSyenOr and the
Miners.

The Neisonvllie Republlcal OF
last week has an ably paid edito-
rial reciting Gen. Grosvenor's
tenderness TO the miners.
We know something Of Gros-
venor's tenderness 10 the white
miners of ;he Valley.
During the big strike of 1874.
when negroes were coIonized in
the Valley, Gen. Grosyenor was
invited to make them a speech,
which he did. The bills for the
meeting were printed at the SEN
tinel office and are curiosities.-
A big burly Congo colonist came
in with a swagger and swell, !,
and said he wanted some print
ing and had the cash. lie had
been to the Republican Office,
but Keith, the then manager, not
liking Grosvenor. wouid not print
his bills. We did print them,
but we endeayored to have the
negro change the reading 10 some
thing in accord with the white
literature OF The age, but he
would not.
The Bill opened witt "Hon.
Gen. GrosveEor. the friend and
feliow-ciiizen OF the colored
man," and proceeded 10 state In
high Congo the purpose 10 hold
a meeting If coiored African Cit
liens, which meeting the "Hon.
Gen. friend aud fellow citizen"
would address.
The Hon. Gen. then, no Gonbt,
thought lie African fixture al
NeIsenvilie, and he was laying
his trap 10 catch his vote.
ihe full particulars Of Hon
G,n. Grosyelgr's able effort
kindly welcoming his African
feilow ci, ;zens is in the curreh;
issue of tic NelsonvjlIe paper Of
that period.
Within month past he was
asked by miners prosecuted and
yiciously prosecuted; by the Syn
dicate to take their cases and de
fend them. This he declined 10
do. He is The Attorney for The
railroad and courts the Symdi-.

Sun River N ews,

Mr. D. B. Hall, the editor of the Sun
RIVER Sun, arrived in the city on the
coach yesterday. He reports pretty
hard trip, as the coach got lost between
the Leavings and Lakes, and they spent
half the night on the prairie looking fol
the road or the Lake station. They
managed to find the latter about mid
night. Mr. Hall informs us that the
Sun starts out under favorable auspices,
and that he is gratifed with the success
so far achieved. The first copy was
printed on white satin, and sold to the
highest bidder, r. S. Ford being the
purchaser. 1T cost him $75.
Q. G. and Chas. Cooper, the wool
growers of Dupuyer creek, returned to
Sun River on Sunday from the east.
The latter took to himself a life partner
during his visit, but on account Of the
cold weather did not bring her with
him this trip. The Messrs. Cooper
started at once for their ranch as their
presence is urgently need d this kind OF
weather.
~ It is reported that Sam GetZ, who has
the old Salisbury ranch near Fort
Shaw, is losing his sheep by the hun
dred. They are pilgrim sheep, and were
driven in late and in poor condition.
Some losses among cattle on Sun river
are already reported, and unless the
chinook comes soon the loss will be very
severe, as indeed it will be on all the
ranges.

The Utah g. Northern Branch.

A Bozeman special to the Pioneer
Press of the 8th inst. contains the fol-
lowing interesting information--of in
terest to Fort Benton because this is to
be the ultimate terminus Of the pro-
posed branch:
The Utah & Northern surveyors left
Virginia City on Wednesday last to sur
vey the route of the branch road to
Bozeman. The line will run from
Camas, a town on the main line OF the
Utah & Northern railway, in north
easterly direction until the westerly
boundaries of the National park are
reached thence in northerly course,
following the West Gallatin river, to
Salesville, and from that point east,
across the Gallatin valley to Bozeman.
The route is pronounced a good one, and
but little grading will be required. 1t
is reported that the grading contract for
the new line has been letto the Winston
Bros, and the fact that their working
outfit is being held in readiness at Boze-
man lends an appearance of truth to the
rumor. The certainty of having an
other railroad has greatly strengthened
realty values in the city, and mild
little boom is in progress.

The New Coal F1eld-Cheap Fuel for
Fort Rant0n..-sz-..-~Aa~-

The coal mine up the Missouri river
promises to be big thing. Philip Des
Champs has just returned from .here
and reports lead six feet thick with
four feet of solid coal at the bottom-the
other two feet being coal and Slate mix
ed This mine is right on the Missouri
rlver,. about Il miles below the great
falls The vein is only about three feet
above the present low stage Of water. 1t
isseveral hundred feet below the top Of
the hill and will naturally be better
than that found near the surface. Speci-
mems taken from the face Of a lO-loOt
tunnel show that it yields an excellent
quality Of coal.
This lead was found last fall by James
Ross, commonly known as Cherokee
jim, who now has a quarter interest in
the mine. Bourassa and Des Champs
also own an interest III this valuable
prospect. Some men will be sent out in
few days, as soon as the weather mod
era les, to resume work on the mine, as
it is the intention of the owners to show
up at once, by good long tunnel, what
there is in the lead
Mr.. Bourassa informs us that good
road can be cheaply built up Portage
coulee, across Hundl.y's coulee, striking
the Helena and Benton road at Bulls
Head, and thinks it would not be more
than 80 miles from the coal mine to Fort
Benton.
We all heartily hope that this new
coal field will show up some good leads.
as the nearer we can find coal to Fort
Benton the cheaper the transportation
will be, which item now represents
three-fourths of the cost of coal used in
our-homes. The government has shut
down all work on the mines at the Coal
Banks aud the other side of the Marias,
but it is beyond their power to suppress
this new mine.
