Belknap Items.
Eelknap Sun, 18th inst.

Mosquito Greek, q magnificent
mountain stream, about ten feet
wide, and full Of speckled beauties,
flows within 500 yards of the western
part of town.
The Belknap and Eagle City
Transfer company shipped 5000
pounds of freight from Belknap into
Eagle City on Saturday, although it
rained all day.
The places IN this valley, where
three months ago a man could
hardly make five or six miles a day,a
croQuet ground could now be laid
out. Such is the work Of the
pioneers of the Great West.
Travellers from the East, West and
South should bear in mind that Bel
KNAPP is the nearest shipping point to
the Cnur d'Alene mines,. has the
shortest and best trail to Eagle City,
and can accommodate visitors with
as gOOd nOtel accommodations as can
be found in any place. If you want
ease and comfort, and good treat
ment, go to the mines via Belknap.
When :hs dense pine forests are
removed from this valley the view
from the town will be one of the most
picturesque along the line Of the
Northern Pacific railroad. Even at
the present time the scene is one of
extraordinary natural beauty. It
will pay any traveller to tarry a day
or two at Belknap and look at the
surroundings. No better hotel &C.
commodations can be found on the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and at moderate prices too. than in
Beiknap.

Butte Banks.

The best evidence Of thu strong
confidence entertained by our citi-
zens in the sou1Idness and strength of
our city banks lies in the fact that
yesterday and the day before the
daily deposits were as large as ever.
There is no falling off In them, no
distrust upon the part of depositors
in the ability of the banks to meet
every obligation. In fact there is no
reason why the Butte banks should
sympathize with the New York fail
ures. The banks here keep but small
balances in New York. and should
every bank IN that city fail it would
cause no embarrassment to Il home
institutions. The great money centers
much nearer New York
do not sympathize with
the unsettled condition Of Wall
street. This fact shows that the sus-
pensions there were due to local
causes and that the effect is local.
Montana, and especially Butte
finances, are built upon a basis Of
wealth as solid and as enduring as
gold and silver, for ii Is upon these
meals they are built.

BURGLARY.
Burglarious Raids Made Upon a
Half Dozen Houses.

The house breaking fraternity was
out in full force night before last and
started in to sample the town. Jerry
McCarty blew out his lights in bis
place of business soon after midnight
and had just locked the front door
when a gentleman who was passing,
stopped and entered into CONVERSE
ton with him. While talking the
back door of the room was broken in
with a force that shook the entire
building. Quick as a flash Jerry un-
locked the door and jumped in the
front room. The burglars hearing
him advance precipitately fled.
There was no money in the room but
plenty of "Old Grow" and cigars.
Ths sc are probably what the Knights
of the jimmie wanted. But they
made only a water haul.
Fred Gilbert didn't fare 10 well.
A glass in the front window of his
store was broken in and three good
revolvers taken which laid within
reach. They would probably have
made q larger haul had it not been
for a gentleman who, hearing the
breaking Of the glass, FASTENED to
the spot when the burglars fled.
One of them was recognized on the
street by the gentleman yesterday
and arrested.
The residence Of MI. William
Gwinn was also tapped, but We
learn the would be robbers We're dis
covered in time to head them OFT.
Roberts Il Sons store was also enter
ed, but with what result we could
not learn last evening.
The residence of Miss Dora Mandi-
vile was broken into twice. A few
trinkets comprises her loss. The
woman went AFTER the burglars
when they skipped without taking
other booty. Noble DeMurska's
house was also sampled but the girls
drove IF the light fingered gentry
befofe they could make themselves
rich.
All these burglaries occurring IN
one night leads to the conclusion
that an organized force of house
breakers is in the city. 1t may be
that the burglarious gang thinks the
new police force is a little green and
not yet thoroughly acquaint d with
its duties and that house breaking
may be INDUCED in with IMMUNITY.
This Is a mistake and some one will
get hurt in finding 1t out. 1t may
require a few more house breakers to
call out an unseen power that uses
ropes and telegraph poles without
much ceremony, but when it is
aroused the robbers, ga rroters and
house breakers will be made to hunt
their holes in double. quick time.
