Very Tires0me.

PORTLAND, Me-. June ll,-Im-
mense crowds assembled at the city
ball to welcome the coast delegation.
Speeches were delivered and re-
ceived with much applause. Every
allusion to Blaine was received with
enthusiastic demonstrations. Capt.
James A. Palmer, of Nevada, an
nounced himself as a COW boy of Ne
vada, which statement was received
with a storm Of applause. He as
serted they would not have dared go
back if they had flinched from their
duty to Blaine for they hang men in
Nevada for that sort of thing. He
paid an earnest tribute to Logan and
closed by alluding to a wealthy
leader of the party in Nevada who
wished to 60 to Chicago to vote for
Arthur, saying he would pay all
their expenses, but they told him to
stay at home. He predicted the
whole Republican party would soon
fall into line with q strong determi-
nation not to turn this government
oyer to the Democratic party. After
another selection by the band, A. A.
Strout, of Portland, predicted 10000
majority in Maine and that all New
England would go for Blaine.

horse at Gregson Springs last Sun
day evening, is now able to be
around though carrying a badly
sprained and swollen neck.
The mining superintendents in

their willingness for all miners in
their employ to lay Oft work on tie

Mr.. Robert II. Paxson, of this city
and Miss Kittie Moss, recently from
Iowa, were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony last evening. Mr.. Pax
son is young man well and favor

Hendricks lnteryiewefl.

INDIANAPOLIs, June IT, Hon.
Thomas II. Hendricks in an inter.
view concerning Tilden's letter of
declinatioD, said the news was not q
surprise to him, for when he visited
Tilden in August last that gentleman
very firmly announced his intention
to remain permanently out of poll
tics. Another visit in April last
found Mr.. Tilden of the same opin-
ION. Hendricks thought there was
little doubt that the old ticket would
have been unanimously nominated
by the Chicago convention if it had
not been for the decIination to-day.
He said the demand for it among
Democrats was almost universal and
greater than any movement Of the
kind ever seen in politics. Personally
he felt no disappointment. He did
not want the Office of Vice President
eight years ago and did not want it
now. If the old ticket had remained
in the field he sh uld have consid~
cred his election to that place q great
honor conferred by the people.

The Business of White Hall
More than Double that
Of Any Competing
House.
A Plank in Our Business
Platform.
How We Shake the Founda-
tions of Trade.

It is no uncommon occurrence for
observing people to remark that
White Hall does more business in
ready-made clothing, furnishing
goods, boots and shoes. ETC., than all
the other dealers in the same goods
in town. Whether it be true or not
is a matter that cannot be con-
veniently determined, but there is
nothing surer than that the business
of White Hall is more than double
that of any competing house i'll Butte
and this leads us to inquire the rea--
son. It is not because of its name,
uuu wnulIy BECAUSE vi Its location,
not because

are its proprietors, but because it
gives the best value for the least
money. No other plank-these are
political times-in any business plat
form that the most astute and ex-
perienced student of business can
conceive could have accomplished
such results as those to which we
have referred. Good goods and low
prices have alwuys distinguished
White Hall, and to make it still more
conspicuous in the matter of induce
ments every now and then it shakes
the foundations of trade by
SPECIAL SALES,

Montana Goal Fields

Commenting upon the recent dis
coveries of coal in this Territory, the
Minneapolis Tribune says: Mon
tana already has developed a vast
mining industry, and if coal can, in
addition to the precious metals. be
produced in paying quantities, it will
be of great importance to the further
development of the iron, steel and
other mining industries of the Terri
tory. One of the greatest drawbacks
to the prosperity of Montana has
been the scarcity of fuel, and it was
greatly feared that On account of this
apparent scarcity her growth and
prosperity would be materially i'm
peded. The recent discoveries re-
move all fears from this source, and
if all reports from the coal region are
not greatly exaggerated the future of
the Territory is assured.
Experienced coal miners have Wis
tied the Sand Coulee mines and de-
clared that the coal discovered is in
quality fully equal to the best Of that
found in Pennsylvania. 1t is bitumi-
nous in character, and the vein is
from twelve to twenty feet in depth.
In this particular it surpasses the soft
coal of Pennsylvania, which Is sell
dom found in greater thickness than
seven feet. This mine is in every re-
spect favorably situated; the facilities
for drainage are excellent; it is easy
of approach by tunnels, Railways,
etc., and is not so far removed from
railroads and water ways as to rem
der it useless. 1t is but eight. miles
from the Missouri river, and it is
thought that with proper machinery
coal can be mined and laid down on
the river bank for a few cents a
busbel.
Should these mines develop as they
now give promise of doing, Montana
will soon be perfectly Independent In
the matter of fuel, and with this last
obstruction removed will be fairly
started on the road to prosperity. The
Territory is rich in resources, both
agricultural and mineral, and for
stock raising its advantages are un-
surpassed. It's mountains contain
boundless stores of iron ore, and with
coal ready at hand there is no reason
why few years may not see vast
man ufacturing industry springlng up
III this favored region. The great
Northwest is too large to be forever
dependent on the remote regions of
the Allegheny mountains for its ma
chinery. With the opening of the
coal fields in Washington and Mon
tana, the Northwest will soon be
practically independent of the iron
, manufacturers of the East.

OUR PHILIPSBURd LETTER.
Prospect of Reduction Works-
The Granite, Hope and San
FRANCISCO Mines - Social
Marters-loeath oil an
Old Resident, ETC.,
Etc Etc.
Correspondence of the Miner.

Recent reports from St. Louis,
No., seem to establish the fact that
the Granite Mountain Mining COM
pany will erect reduction works here
during the present year. Should
they do so, Philipsburg will in 'S5,
step to the front rank of silver pro-
ducing camps of the Territory.
This wise action of the Granite COM
pany, while largely increasing their
own wealth, will not the less prove of
inestimable value to this section. It
will give an impetus to prospecting
and help to develop many valuable
mines by attracting the attention of
wealthy mining men to the
output of their own Granite bonanza.
So [ hope in my next
communication to be able to confirm
the welcome rumcr above noted. The
usual weekly amount of mine devel-
opment is going on at the Granite
mine. Men are now busily at work
excavating for face of tunnel No. I,
which, when in the mountain as far
as tunnel No. 3,:will tap the mine at
a great depth.
This mine has an abundance of
ore in sight. The mill is running
steadily and the bullion output of
this month will establish the val
ue of the immense reserve of
ore in the mine awaiting extrac~
ton and reduction.
SAN FRANCISCO.
Not being able to visit the mine
this week, I gave John Ullery the
opportunity to report what has been
done in the tunnel since my last let
ter. The header is still in good ore
and the vein is gradually enlarging
as the adit advances eastward.
Ullery showed mel some very fine
specimens OF ruby silver ore from the
foot wall. If this property could
only be developed by some wealthy
corporation cur camp would
IN a years time show up another
granite bonanza.
SOCIAL MATTERa, ETC.
Eli Holland has returned from
Deer Lodge City. The report that he
went over there to get married is MAJ
licious and unfounded.
Henry Inkamp, one of Philips
burg's representative men returned
last Saturday from an extended visit
to st. Louis, Mo. Henry is one of
the few old timers that by careful and
judicious management has been able
to lay by a golden store for the inev-
liable rainy day. Possessed Of great
observation his annual visit east with
all the incidents and accidents con-
nected Herewith, is stored away for
the benefit of those, who, not so hap
PLY situated, are always ready to
welcome him home again.
John Smith, an OLD resident of the
camp, a man absolutely without an
enemy, and everybody's friend, died
here on the End inst. from the effects
of stroke of apoplexy. The de-
ceased was brother of Mr.. Samuel
sprague OF Tower, and a relative OF
VIM. Rowe, Esq, of Fort Benton.
His remains, after being viewed by
the coroner, was taken in charge by
the Order OF Odd Fellows, Of which
he was member, and given burial.
His funeral procession was the largest
1 ever saw 60 out of the town and
was fitting mark of respect to the
memory of deserving man.
