The Orc Elmo Mines.

During the past week more interest has
been manifested in the Orc Elmo Tor perhaps
better known as the Caribouj quartz mines
than ever before. The strike on ths Cham
pion dlrectsd attention to IL, and numerous
persons interested in quartz mining have
since extended their Investigations to other
ledes with gratified surprise at their strength
and character. Doc. Rains visited several
and has taken a large number Of samples to
Butte fer assay OF one lode showing large
bsdy of ere be said 1t would justify the cree
ton OF mill II 1t only yielded SIS to the ton.
On wednesday, Mr.. Cleveland, associated
with Mr.. Wallace In the Dexter Mill, visited
the Champion and tssk samples Of the ore
for assay with view to buying or bending
~ results proved satisfactory. The Forlorn
Hope Company which year or two ago ex-
pended 81 400 in sinking shaft which 1t Is
believed never reached that lead, again set
men to work this week on its property. A
number Of new prospscters. some Of them
presumably associated with persons Of
means, have begun explorations In the camp
and those who have stood BY It for years feel
much encouragement In the prospect Of cap
jtal having Its attention directed actively to
this very promising nsld. We Dc not desire
20 create or encourage any unfoundsd excite
ment, preferring to see the camp attain
prominence by tn actual merits on develop
ment, but We would not be surprised II the
Ore Fino mines would prove . strong rival
70 those u Butte. In = snccseeing issue VIC

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The Dsdicatory Services to be Held Next
Sunday.

The Christian denomination is, we believe,
the strongest in membership of any in Deer
Lodge. The congregation here now has Al
active members, although several during the
summer have renewed to Anaconda. Fer .
year past Elder Galen Wood, q native Of Au-
rora, Ohio, aud most estimable and earnest
man, has had charge Of the parish. Soon
after his coming the project of erecting
church building was mootsd and determined
| upon, the services meantime being conducted
| In the Court House. The corner Of ID and
| Fourth streets, opposite the public school
blsck, was selected as the site, and the con-
| tract for the edifice was let in January of
this year, Col. ]. ID. jerks taking the carpen-
ter contract and J. T. Triggs the brick and
stone work. The building is now completed
and its handsome architectural design is sup
plemented by most excellent work and finish
in all its details. The building is not large,
but 1t IL in fine proportion. 1t is Of the
Gothic style OF architecture, with two tow.
ers, stained glass windows, heating furnace, :
baptisnal fount under the rostrum with
force pump, q lecture room in the rear, and
an arrangement as to seating in the audience
room that will comfortably accommodate 200
persons.
The main building Is 35x56; the towers
one 70 feet high and 12x12, the ether 40 feet
high, 9x9-are at the eastern corners. The
lecture room, 1898 ); the audience room, sx-
elusive Of the pulpit recess, S3x40. The build
ing cost something over $1,000.
Services will be held ~ follows: On next
Saturday evening at 7:3O p. m; on Sunday At
II a. m, when the dedicatory sermon will be
delivered by Rev. w. +. Streator, Of Helena;
at 7:3o p. m. Sunday, when the monthly
Union service, which is held the first Sum-
day in each month, and the sermon will be

Z. j. Groeneveld, and on Monday evening at
7:30. Rev. L. o. Sharp, Of Anaconda, will be
present and participate in the several seryi-
ces. The Sunday school will DO at go Sun
day afternoon.
We are authorized to say that NEST cor
dial invitation IL extended to all to attend
these services. There will be no appeal for
funds, and only the voluntary contributions
Of those in attendance will be expected. We
congratulate tho congregation Ell tho COM
pletion of the beautiful church which they
have built with willing hands and open
purses, and to the gratiisd enjoyment of
which they are most certainly entitled.

THE ROSE EYTINGE COMPANY.
The Best That Ever Appeared In Deer
Lodge.

We believe, all things considered, the
Rose Eytinge Company is the best that ever
appeared in Deer Lodge. On Wednesday
evening they presented Felicia, or we-
mans Love-" an English version Of French
play rather Of the Camille order-a good plot
with strong dramatic ituations-developin
the sad results OF Illicit love and conveying
moral without telling moro Of the story
than necessary to enforce IL. We had heard
the play spoken of as scarcely popular one,
but redeemed by the Eytings Cempany's fine
rendition We were agrssably disappointed
in the estimate Of the play. 1t Is very strong
and the acting was most admirable. Rose
EyunEe IL undoubtedly, in her specialties,
the finest actress, by all odds, we have ever
had on the Montana stage, and her support
is excellent and uniform throughout. The
fact that the Company was composed Of
strangers and that there were ne house pro-
Erammrs prevents us from referring by name
to the respective actors, and IL Is scarce nee
'ossary here CONNIE ndation would be uni
vsrssl The house was filed with ono Of our
best audiences, and the sympathy with the
action or the piece which was established In
the frat scene, was maintained and intensi-
fed until, amid hearty plaudits, the curtain
went down on the blended picture Of happi-
ness and sorrow. So manifest was the i'm
preston upon the audience that At the close
of tho third act the management announced
= reconsideration OF their purpose to play
but one night, and announced Leah for last
evening.
w" are glad Manager Mcguire has given
us the opportunity Of seeing this splendid
Company, and that his venture was appreci-
ated. II is by patronirinE well the better
attractions that We will be relieved Of the
poorer ones, and given as good acting, IL
without tho finer stage accessories, a. Is en-
jeysd by eur neighosrs OF the larger cities.
Our paper going to press during the present
alton Of Leah, we cannot mention it, but VIC
do earnestly recommend the Rose Eytinge
Company TO Montana play-goes As enc that
could not present piece lily, and that We
have ne doubt 10 equally good In all plays In
their repertoire n In Felicia.

From tie Herald, eth.

A. b. Becknsy, brother ofJohn Beckney,
was also talked with, and he unhesitatingly
pronounced the rumor false. He said that
John was not In town on the night DEM was
murdered, but was at Csntrsville or at his
ranch on the Missouri. While John was on
his way to town In the morning he met two
men Sidney Gordon and another whose
nams was not recalled). They were about
fifteen miles from town and were afost.
There was something In their appearance to
mako him remember them, and when he
heard Of the murder he suggested to the
sheriff the advisability Of following them.
The sheriff John NJ. Jefferis) did follow
them and caught them at Bedford. They
were brought back to town. but on examina-
tion were acquitted.
$50 far As the death-bed confession Is con.
csrned," said A. b. Becknsy, az never heard
Of IL before, and am confident nothing Of
the kind ever occurred.

The Republican County Ticket.

The Republican Convention Of Deer Lodge
county did itself credit in its nominations
for county officors and presented n ticket Of
exceptionally good and deserving mea for
the several offices named. There Is not one
among them all but would fill the positions
with credit to themselves and for the welfare
Of the county. They have in some instances
strong candidates to contend with, but have
gene into the canvass heartily and justified,
by their earnest efforts for success, the action
Of the Convention in placing them on the
ticket. They arc tho more entitled to credit
for this from the fact that when the Convsn-
tion met and nominated them, the imprss-
sion was abroad that Anaconda was so
hopelessly and prspsndsratingly Democratic
IL would ovsrwhelm the other precincts Of
the county with Its great majority and rem
der the success Of any Republican eandidat.
hopeless. Notwithstanding this they entered
the Canvass as heartily a. though election
were assured, and it is gratifying to know
that the apprehen sion then existing is to q
great extent at least unfoundsd. Anaconda,
IL not Republican, will ut most only give
snail Democratic majority, and at least
those Republican candidates who, by emil
nent ftnsss and descrviugs commend them
selves to the voters of the county, will be
elected. There Is, we believe, little prepon-
dsrance in either political party in the coun-
~. So FAR as We have learned there has been
an exceptionally fair canvass on both sides
in this county, and no malicious Inventions
have been used to break down opponsnts
The candidates are well known and rePuta.
BILE citizens, and the canvass has been on po-
litical affiliations and personal merit: We
may say further that for the first campaign
in fifteen years that the NEW NORTHWEST
has been published here, there has been no
communication sent to this office rejecting
upon the character or making charges against
any county candidate. Our boys have gone
through the canvass clean-handed, and We
hope all of them will receive next Tuesday
votes enough to elect them by rousing major
titles to the positions for which they are nom
mated.

From the Independent, 18th.

An Independent reporter wishing TO hear
both sides Of the story, called on Mrs. Beck
ney yesterday. She said the report was
untrue, and that she was going to ferrit it out
and learn who had started the story. She
said that she and her husband arrived at their
home in Pennsylvania on the 18th of Febru-
airy last, and that he died the nth Of March.
That he was perfectly rational and talked
very freely until his death. That she was
with him all the time except when he was in
the care of the Odd Fellows, whs assisted
her in taking care Of him. She was con-
staatly at his bedside, and that she thought
he could not have made any such confession
to them. She further states that 1t was ut
tsrly impossible for him TO have committed
the deed, a. he was not in the city at the
time.
1t was asserted last evening by men who
have the best opportunity Of knowing, that
John Beckney never belonged to the order of
Odd Fellows, and that the insinuation that
any such secret might be within the pale OF
the order is positively incorrect.
