The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-10-25

Mrs. ]. ]. Garvin and infant child,
of Helena. have gone to Minneapolis
to spend a few weeks among r.la-
tives and friends while the parson-
age is being remodeled.
On the 18th inst, the good people
of Pioneer jointly helped raise and
plant q Cleveland flagstaff, from
which the gay stars and stripes are
to float upon proper occasions.
At Marysville no less than three
fights occurred before breakfast. Sui
livan might fiud it a suitable place
for training.
During the past few weeks quite a
number of horses have suddenly died
from some unknown disc ase about
Pioneer. In most instances they are
sick but few days.
The large derrick employed in the
placer mines of H. gan, Irwin &
Kelley in hosting the immense boul-
ders from bed rock, suddenly gave
way on Sunday last. swapping in
two like so much glass. Nobody
was hurt, and the delay was of but
short duration. The mine is just be-
ginning to pay nicely.
w. H. Brent, of Pioneer, is prepar-
ing to open up some of his fine quartz
property during the coming winter.
Mr.. Brent is the postmaster, has
charge of the telephone station, pre-
sides over a first.class billiard hall,
and does not seem to be worried in
the least by these many duties.
The public school of Pioneer, under
the direction of Prof. Muchmore,
opened on the 18th inst. with good
ly number of scholars. The Prof ssor
is a gentleman of more than ordinary
ability, and having taught there
something like four years, has the
confidence not only of the patrons,
but of the scholars as well. Success
to the school of Pioneer.

A Blk.

Helena Herald, 2l: Col. Grayson,
DR.. Carson, and Messrs. Asbury,
Markham, Spiers and DeBar returned
last night from the Little Rockies
after four weeks trip. Col. Gray
son, in conversation with q Herald
reporter this morning, said that the
LiGtle Rocky mines were absolutely a
blk. What little gold is found is in
crevices IN bedrock, there being
nothing at all in the wash. Many of
the claims produce nothing at all,
and the few that are being worked
do not pay anything like wages.
There are not more than half a dozen
experienced miners in the country,
Col. Graysor says, for all such find
out that the mines are of no account
before they are there two days. AL
together there are no less than hum
dred men In the mines. As an evil
dence of how scarce dust is in the
camp it may be stated that tefore
starting home Col. Grayson tried to
buy some and couldn't find $40 worth
IN the camp. The patty left for home
pretty thoroughly satisfied of its
wolthlessness.

A long-felt want is at last being
supplied on the main road from the
valley to Marysville, near Silver
City: It is nothing less than q first
class hostelry by J. H. Hicks. James
is bound to make every body COM
Portable at reasonable rates.
At Marysville things generally
look slow and dull. The entire num-
ber of men employed, am told, does
not exceed seventy. The camp has
an overdose of business stands. and
their owners are anxious and ready
for something to their advantage to
turn up. In consequence of this
state of aff.irs the pleasant little
hamlet is destined to be very quiet
during the coming winter.

concerning Liverpool's financial

yesterdays London Standard, ad-
vises London journals to ascertain
the truth before publishing such un-

troubles in the sugar market ceased
three weeks ago and there is not the
slightest ground tor apprehending
the impending bankruptcy OF any
one of the American steamship
lines. None of the Liverpool papers
have heard anything about large
failures in that city, vague reports of
which have teen circulated in some
quarters.

GOOD IEMPLARS.
Seventeenth Annual Sess on of
the Grand Lodge.

The seventeeth annual session of the
Grand Lodge l. O. o. T. of Montana,
met at Good Templars' Hall yester-
day morning at II o'clock. All the
officers were in attendance. Various
subordinate lodges of the Territory
were represented. The reports of
the officers were very interesting,
showing the order in the Territory
to be in high prosperous condition,
its numerical and financial standing
being better than at any former
period. During the past year there
was q net increase of over 81 per
cent. in the number of members, and
32 per cent. in the amount Of cash in
the treasury. The number of men,
bers in good standing on July 81,
1884, was 1,053, as against 7S6 at the
corresponding date last year; and the
cash balance in the treasury amounts
to the comfortable sum of $1,612 95,
all demands to date being fully paid
and no liabilities of any kind out
standing. The number of lodges in
good standing was reported at Is.
The afternoon and evening sessions
were devoted to an interesting dis
cussion and consideration of various
phases of the temperance work and
of the measures for the advancement
of the cause during the ensuing year.
A fund was placed at the disposal of
the executive committee to be used
in securing lectures for the advocacy
of prohibition and the organization
of new lodges, and also for the puhli-
cation of temperance news and the
discussion of temperance topics
through the press. These matters
were considered with much earnest
ness, and it is evident that the work
is to be pushed with greater energy
in the future than at any time IN the
past. A very interesting feature of
the evening meeting was the attend
ance of the Grand Lodge at a meet
ing of Gem of the Mountains Juve-
nile Temple. The youthful Templars
conducted their business with such
dispatch and proptness, and offered
q literary entertainment of such rare
merit as to call forth many plaudits
and words of conmendation. The
officers for the ensuing session will
be elected this morning and installed
this afternoon. 1t Is probable that
the Grand Lodge may adjourn this
evening.
