Helena Independent, January 4th:
The Inter Mountain publishes an ex-
ceedingly complimentary notice of
its holiday number and credits the
same to the Independent. The notice
in question is a straight-out forgery.
We do not deny that the holiday
number is rather creditable piece of
work, but its editors are only entitled
to praise for having gotten out for the
first time in whole year a sheet
which may, with certain degree of
propriety, be called newspaper.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 5-The beau

ing Review December 20: The
offerings Of outside lots of Lake at
14sc: have ceased, and it would prob
ably be difficult matter to obtain
any Lake at less than 15c. On the
other and, the past month has not
been a very active one for manufact-
urers and there are evidences OF a
falling off in the consumption. So
far as outside brands are concerned,
refiners complain OF scarcity ofraw
material, the sources of supply from
which it is drawn being less prolific
than formerly. The great increase
in the production has been in Mon
tana, but directly and indirectly the
greater part of the output of the
mines and works at Butte City goes
abroad.

Reliable information having been
furnished Manager John Mcguire
that a combination has been formed
to buy up large number OF seats for
the John L.. Sullivan Combination,
and afterward make profitable
trade on the same, he has in the inter-

no more than six tickets will be sold
to any one individual. Mcguire has
placed the general admission at two

Burning of the Park Theatre.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 5.-The Park
Theatre is a mass of ruins. Nothing
but the walls are standing. The
WicK's block, in front, is Quilted. The
Presbyterian church adjoining gcon ~
damaged SIC, 900, insured TOR S3z'VVV
The Park Theatre loss is varlously
stated at seventy-five to two hum
dred thous md dollars; insurance,
$4,000. 1t will be rebuilt at once.
Major Hart lost everything. The
origin of the fire is in dispute. The
most probable explanation is that the
waterman in exploring under the
stage for q gas leak with light,
caused an explosion and because the
theatre was supposed to be fire proof,
tried to extinguish the flames With
out all alarm.

Has a silver lining"
What need then for care or fret,
Or for sad repining.
Ever on the best side look,

Half the blackness then is gone,
Sunshine always brightens.

Darkness greater seemeth;
Let us think, then, as we may,
Dawn for us soon cometh.

NOTES OF INTEREST.

The great south vein ore body of
the Alice mine, which has been de-
veloped in the east drifts from the
one, two and three hundred. foot lev
els, was penetrated last week in the
400-fout drift, where it shows a width
of three and a half feet. The south
vein is one of the most reliable and
uniform ore shoots ever developed
in this district. In each of the upper
levels it has been stripped for a hori-
zontal distance of from $50 to 400 feet
and exp,ored by winze to the level
below, and has been fonnd through
out its entire extent to maintain it's
uniformity If width and grade.
A winze has been started on the
ledge from the 400 which will be
driven to the 500, where it is expected
the ledge will show the improved
grade characteristic of the lower lev
els of the Alice.
The Lexington mill continues its
steady run and satisfactory output,
opening the ball for the new Year
Year with a shipment of S42, ,3O4 last
week. At this rate the lucky Paris
ian stockholders may expect another
$3.50, 900 dividend in the near future.
Active operations are continued in
the northwest drift from the 400 of
the Bell. The new strike improves
in width and grade with develop.
ment. It is expected that the smell
ter will be started up on ore from
the slopes of the 400 in a few days.
Notwithstanding the publication in |
= recent issue of the Inter Mountain
that the Valdemere was shut down,
that valuable property has been &C.
lively worked for the past thirty |
lays. The 200 foot level is being thor
oughly prospected and developed, |

GENERAL ACTIVITY.

To one unaccustomed to the scenes
of activity which constantly prevail
upon the now snow-clad mountain
spur, lying north of Butte, the busy
aspect which they now present
would prove a surprise. The hills
and gulches are crossed in every
direction by well broken roads,
which wind about to the various
properties, crossing, intersecting and
diverging from each other in
thousand different directions, while
hundreds of heavy teams laden
with wood, mining timbers,
tagging and other supplies wind
along their course, the cracking whip
and ringing voices of the hardy team
sters, enlivening the frosty air with
a vocalism which greatly adds to the
busy aspect OF the scene. But the
does not constitute the sole
of the hills. Upon every
hand, in every gulch, on every spnr
and apex, may just now be seen the
claim owner of abiding faith, pa
tiently engaged with shovel, pick
and barrow, doing the assessment
work which Uncle Sam exacts as
as the condition of holding the claim
which is some day to become
3 great mine and prove the
means of providing the comforts
and luxuries for himself and family
which every man looks forward to as |
the coveted lot lot of old age and at
tendant decrepitude. It is worthy of |
remark that not single case OF
claim jumping has been noted in |
Summit Valley district at the begin
ning of the present year, and in view
If the fact that the owners of numer-
'us valuable claims were few days
behind with their representation
work, the fact is fattering COM
nentary upon the orderly and law
lbiding character of our mining pop
llation.

OUR NEW YEAR.

With this issue the DAILY JOURNAL
starts IL third volume. The first issue
of the daily was made October Is, 1852.
II was an experiment which after q
trial of nearly four months was deem-
ed too expensive to continue longer,
and on February IL, 1883, its publica-
ton was suspended. One year ago to-
day il was resumed, and, although
the returns have not been SO excessive
as to impose any extra labor In the
clipping of coupons, or receipting for
dividends on bank stocks, we feel
grateful to our patrons that through
their kind support we have been able
to make the lap without monetary
distress. During the year past we
have added to our mechanical depart
ment new and expensive steam ma
chlnery and large cylinder press,
and have also remodeled and added
to our building so that we now have
in point of completeness of appoint
ments and capacity To do business the
hest equipped Office in the territory.
Promising for the future the best
paper our efforts can produce, and be-
speaking a continuance Of the gener-
Gus patronage received in the past We
