More Famil1arly Known as .sChinese
Gordon

Over in the Soudan in Khartounl, or
the White Nile, this famous general is
threatened with annihilation. AS the
special agent Of the British government
General Gordon was dispatched up the
Nile on a mission of Cancellation and
reinsurance to the Soudanese, and fol
short time after his arrival in Khar
toum and the issuance of two remark
able proclamations declaring that the
rights of the natives would be protected
and the slave trade again allowed, il
seemed to the world that General Cor.
don, with handful of men, armed
with the diplomacy Of peace offerings
would prove Il conquering hero against
the army and cause ofthe false prophet,
Ell Mahdi. But a reaction occurred.
and to-day the situation is Of the most
alarming character for the personal
safety of Gen eral Gordon. Even while
this article is in type, the news may he
toum has fallen, and with it the brave
"Chinese Gordon"
General Gordon was the youngest son
of the late Lieut.. Gen. III. w. Gordon,
r. A. After receiving military edu-
cation at Woolwich Academy he served
in the Crimean war with great credit.
In 1860 he visited China and by a bold
and dashing, yet judicious support of
the Chinese Emperor in the TAPPING
campaign he earned great honor and
credit from both the British and Chin
ese governments, and henceforth was
known as 'Chinese Gordon His rep
utation now grew worldwide. The late
Khedive of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, called
General Gordon to his aid in abolishing
the Infamous slave trade and strength
ening his decreasing power. After a
labor of five years on the White Nile, in
Darfour and Cardovan, he had partly
accomplished his mission and returned
to London, as the present Khedive,
Tewfik Pasha, was not favorably dis
posed to him. The present Egyptian
complications induced Gladstone to send
General Gordon into that country once
again as conciliator. His loss would
be calamity to his government. He is
at present fiftyfour years of age.

The Sand Coulee Coal.
summer.

Coal mines seem to be cropping out in
great profusion in the Sand Coulee coun-
try, and it is the prevailing opinion that
there is an immense vein underlying
the entire surface of that great plateau
lying between the coulee and Deep
creek Should this very probable con-
lecture prove a fact, Montana will short
ly become one of the greatest coal pro-
ducing regions in the United States. 1t
is also thought that this coal will coke,
and if it will, it will make the deposit
still more valuable. Specimens which
we have seen are bright and free from
any other matter, and resemble the an
thracite coal of Pennsylvania.-sun

A Clock For the Court House.

It was suggested to us Monday that
the new court house ought to have a
venience of the public, and it seems to
US that the suggestion is a good one.
Imitation dials are provided for, but in
so fine building we should think the
genuine clock ought to be furnished. A
first class clock, warranted for term of
years to tell the correct time, can be put
in for $500, which is small sum in con-
sideration of the general convenience
that would result from 1t. The COM
missioners ought to give the matter con-
sideration at their earliest opportunity.

Good News for N eihart.

Messrs. NeWcombe, March and Ballou,
says the Husbandman, the Boston gen
tlemen whom we mentioned few
weeks since, returned from Neihart last
week. They give a most f1attering
account of the mines there. Mr.. New
combe, who has had large experience
in mining in Arizona, pronounces the
camp the best he ever saw in his life.
The leads are all very strong and well
defined, and give promise of developing
into immense bodies ofore. The amount
of ore that comes out of the shafts is
surprisingly large, and large percent
age of it is first-class Mr.. Newcombe
says he never was in camp before in
his life where SO much ore came out of
the shafts. While there the party took
bond on the Montana Chief mine and
some four or five other prospects, but on
what terms we did not learn. However,
active operations are to begin at once.
These gentlemen, We are pleased to
learn, are representatives of the Hudson
Mining Co., an instution with ample
means to develop these mines. The
company will, in addition to the work
of development on its leads, put up
large mill and concentrator. Mr..
Newcombe, president of the company,
and Mr.. March, treasurer, have returned
east and will purchase and ship the
machinery without delay A power
will be put in sufficient to raise 40
stamps, yet only 90 will be set in mo-
ton this season. The concentrator
attached will also have large capacity.
While in camp Mr.. Newcombe rnade an
experiment by.which he demonstrated
that the large quantities Of low grade
ore which now only runs go ounces per

Ford Bros.

J. P. and w. Ell. Ford, members Of
the late firm of Ford Bros, Sun River,
were recently arrested at the instance of
Hotter Bres., of Helena, on the charge
of embezzlement and taken to the capi-
tai for trial. Ford Bros handled lum-
Der for the Holters, and when they fail
ed in business were short considerable
They were acquitted on the charge pre-
ferred, in Judge F. P. Sterling's court,
last Saturday.

ton, can be concentrated SO as to be
worth 500 ounces per ton. The company
will also bring along circular saw
with which to cut lumber for their
buildings These they intend to make
very warm SO that they can run during
the coldest weather The millsite has
been located about Il miles below the
town Of Neihart and the company's
mines. Mr.. Ballou will remain in Mon
tana to look after the development of
mines, the transportation and erection
of the machinery, etc., which work will
be under the immediate direction Of
John Barker, an experienced miner and
assayer.

Stock on the Sun River Ranges.


Sheep have wintered remarkably well
on the north and south forks of Sun
river No losses amounting to anything
have been reported and most of the
herds are healthy and free from scab.
No doubt a few have been lost out of
every herd, for there is in band of say
$500 more or less loss every month IN
the year. When man says that he
has not lost one sheep out VI band of
say 1000 during the winter, we don't
tell him be lies, but we can't help think
ing that he does. Cattle in that region
are reported in fair condition, and the
loss very small. The range between the
Sun river and Dearborn has lost more
than the northern range between Sun
river and Teton. It is thought that
there will be as much as two per cent.
difference in the losses on the two
ranges.-Sun.

Barker N ews.

From Henry Wilson, who arrived
from Clendenin last evening, we learn
that the smelter was to have started up
again Monday, and by this time is
doubtless turning out bullion at the
usual lively rate. The men have been
at work in the Silver Belle mine the
past week, and it never looked better
than at present. They are taking out
25 tons of ore every twentyfour hours.
There is quite movement from Glen
denim to Neihart, and the latter place il
expected to be pretty lively camp this
summer,

Stockmen's Convention,

BILLINGS, Mont, April 2.-Last even
ny the citizens of Billings banquetted
the stock growers association. A large
number of stock growers were present,
representing the cattle interests of north
ern Wyoming, the lower and upper
Yellowstone and the MusselsheIl dis
tricts. Speeches were made setting
forth the future of the stock interests of
eastern Montana, and the central situa-
ton of Billings in relation to these in
terests. The association anticipates the
of 600 beef cattle from here
this season.

Choteau Chips.

From Mr.. Jas. NJ Armstrong, OF the
upper Teton delegation, we obtained the
following budget of items
The stock of that section Jared well
this winter, considering its severity.
The loss of cattle will be trifiing, and
wool growers, generally, were equally
successful.
The new town of Choteau( Old Agency
is having a genuine boom. Buildings
are going up lust as fast as lumber can
be obtained, and hereafter with the saw
mill in operation, there will probably be
no scarcity of building material. Mr.
Hazlett has sold 81, 600 worth OF lots III

A dispatch to-day-from Sheriff john
son, of Custer county, informs Governor
Crosby that the deputies en- route from
Texas with the absconding treasurer,
Steve Taylor, in their charge, had been
arrested at Brainerd, Minnesota, at the
instance of Hubbell and Lebcher (both
implicated in the Custer county rob-
beries) and officers and prisoner were
held there. The governor Immediately
communicated with Governor Hubbard
of Minnesota, stating the case to him,
requesting that the officers be released
and permitted to proceed at once with
their prisoner to Montana and the law
be allowed to take it's course in the ter
ritorial courts.-Herald.

From the Calgary Herald.

The Alberta mine is being vigorously
worked with all the men they can en-
ploy. The lead, it is thought, will be
reached about June.
Mr.. Flint, an cid miner and prospec-
tor, has formed a partnership with jeff.
Talbot. They will commence wo.k on
their mine as soon as the snow leaves
the ground.
The government has guaranteed a
building lot in Silver City to every bona
fide miner, on the payment of ten dol
lars No doubt the trouble about timber
dues will blow over.
The last train brought in over one
hundred passengers for Calgary and Sill
yer City. We are informed by telegram
that to-night's train, which is reported
on time, has about $50 passengers for
points west Of Medicine Hat.
Governor Dewdney's report to the
minister of the interior shows that dur
ing the year 1874 permits to bring liquor
into the Northwest territories were
granted, on which $780, gallons were
brought in. Whisky seems to be the
favorite tipple in the northwest, for out
of that quantity 2,73o gallons consisted
of that stimulant. Brandy stands next

Governor Crosby Addresses the Stockmen

| Governor Crosby was introduced to
the meeting of the stock growers assoc
iation recently held at Miles City, and
gave short but interesting address, in
the course of which he mentioned the
interest which he took in stock raising.
He spoke of the rumors of the prevalence
of contagious diseases among cattle in
some of the states, and said that while
there was no law specially authorizing
it, he would in the event of diseased
animals being imported, take steps to
appoint a sanitary commission, and pre-
vent the importation, if the stockmen
desired it. His remarks were well re-
ceived, and gave great satisfaction to
the cattle men present.
