Within five days the Unwelcome
Visitor has taken from the arms OF
he parents all their little ones-three
bright, beautiful children In whom
centered the hope, the pride and the
love of a fond father and loving
mother. Surely Death has reaped a
full harvest in the sorrowing, heart
broken family. While the bereaved
parents have the heartfelt sympathy
Of the whole community, there is
greater consolation for them In the
thought that He who said; ''Sutter
little children to come unto me-" has
taken them to himself and made
them strangers to the pains, the tri.
ais, and the disappointments Of this
world.

Capital VS.. Labor.

BUTTE CITY, Mon,, Feb. q.
EDITOR MINER.
DEAR SIE-Knowing that your
paper is always willing to uphold
the right. no matter what the cause
may be, l take the liberty of claim
ing a small space in your columns.
The writer of this bonded valuable
piece of property, not thousand
miles from this city, for syndicate
consisting of American and English
capitalists, for ninety days, and half
Of the purchase money was duly de-
posted in the bank by New York
and Boston parties, and the other
half was to be subscribed by London
capital. The negotiations for the
purchase of this property. was ma.
nipulated by one of the most respon-
sible firms Of the City Of London,
aud the names OF two gentlemen
were obtained who were most anx-
ious to take hold Of such good copper
property, but the third party who
was wanted to makeup the syndicate,
said that ''he had been informed by
a gentleman Of Butte, Montana, a
man of large money interest ia that
city, that they had not any mines
worth anything IN Montana, that
they play I'd out after sinking any dis
tance at all, and advised him to stear
clear Of the Butte mines, &C.. &c.
This Of course frightened the other
two, who immediately withdrew their
deposits of purchase money, and
Of course as q matter of fact the sale
fell through, the time of bond having
about elapsed. Now, Mr.. Editor, it
is well known that this report is cir
culated freely ON the London market,
aud to great injury with regard to
the welfare of this camp, and whoev-
er the party is that spread this false
report which all mining men and
mine owners know to be untrue, l
think and believe that you will agree
with me. that coat of tar and feath-
ers would be only too good for such
q man.
1t appears to me that it is capital
against labor" that some of the pres
ent capital of Butte wish to keep out
all foreign capital so they can "hog'
all the mines themselves, get every
thing they can get their hands on
patented, and then let the properties
lie undeveloped for years, whereas
the miner who opens up the mine
with the hope of putting it on the
and when it is placed and
ready for the contamination of a sale,
finds that capital has been before him
and said that the: mines in that dis
trict are no good, that they are
played out.
Unless these reports are stamped
out, and branded as utterly false, it
will greatly injure Butte, which, be-
yond doubt, is the richest mining
camp In North America, and why
such malicious individuals are allow
ed to exist, is wonder to

was expected Of it by the audience:
The Jokes were fresh and In good
taste. The principal actress OF the
evening was Miss Alice Townsend,
who sang with much sweetness and
acted in q manner as to stamp her as
q bnrlesque actress of high order; add
to these qualities a handsome face,
winning manners and n Phvrne"
10 figure, she has no rival to fear In
her line of business.
One of the attractive features of
the occasion was the singing and
dancing OF the Howard Sisters. Miss
Vireie johnson and Flynn & Euson

tainment. Take all In all. 1t was the
heat entertainment Of the Kind ever
given In this city.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, February 28.-Aftel
hearing reports from the committees
on Judiciary, labor, postoffices and
post roads, the House went into COM
mittee of the whole, Converse presid-
Ing, on the pluro pneumonia bill.
Gibson opposes the bill because 1t
proposed to take out of the hands of
owners of cattle the control Of their
stock and put it in the hands Of fed
eral officers. ,
Stewart, Of Texas, argued against
the bill on constitutional grounds.
Springer supported the bill. Harde-
man, Broadhead, Halsell and Potter
opposed the bill, the latter on the
ground that it in vaded the domestic
concerns of states.
j. Wise, of Virginia, spoke In
opposition to the States Rights doc
trine, which had been presented as
an argument why the bill should not
pass. The three States most bolster
Gus about the Constitution, most
Jealous about the Federal power,
were Louisiana, Texas and West
Virginia. Louisiana was bought
with money out of the Ucion and
had no particular reason to kick.
Texas was bought with blood and
has some reason to feel friendly
towards the nation instead of con-
tinually cackling about the Consti-
tuition, like a guilty bird that had
robbed her nest. West Virginia was
nothing but the bastard offspring of
national violence committed on old
Virginia. He had heard the gentle
man from New York Cox, boast
that he was a shining light and a
monument of Democratic tire to
point out the doctrine of State Rights.
He did not call the gentleman mon
ument; he called him q pillar of gas
by night and q pillar of gas by day
to lead Democracy. Laughter. He
was sick of hearing the little bant-
ling chicken, Stale Rights being
pitted against the heavy, gorgeous,
red combed fighting cock Of nation
ality, for it was knocked to smither-
eens every time.
The Committee rose and Morrison,
from the Committee on Ways and
Means, reported the Bonded Spirits
Extension bill, stating it was not a
report. Reported to the
of the Whole.

Missoula Times.
The new hotel is to be two and one
half stories high, occupying 6Ox7s
feet Of ground, with corrugated iron
roof.
Several of the new business blocks
OF Belknap are to have glass fronts,
and everybody can see what they
have to sell.
Belknap asks for no travel over its
road to tie mines until it is com.
pleted-When stages will take the
traveller to the mi0es in three hours
from the time Of leaving the rail-
road.
Superintendent Henry says the
statement that the road from Bel
KNAPP to the mines will be completed
in thirty days is premature. There
will be no let-up in the work; but
the road will not be completed before
the first pr0x., and will probably not
be thrown open to the public before
| the 5th.
The following list of reasons why
Belk nap should make a thriving
town appears In the last issue of the
Missoulion:
1st. Belknap Is 100 miles west of
Missoula and 125 east Of Spokane
Falls.
I'd. Belknap will have 40 competi-
ton except at these two points for
the trade 200 miles south and 200
miles north.
Sd. Belknap mining interests north
have never been prospected bnt very
little, and 80 far as prospectcd shows
the richest country In precious met
ais in the world.
4th. Relknap will have 200, 600 peo-
pie pass in and out every year. north
and south, to the different mining
camps.
5th. Belknap Is half owned by the
N. P. r. r. Co., and 1t is to their in
terest to make it a good city.
9Th. Belknap has the ENTERPRISE
that will make any city large and
great.
7th. Belknap has plenty Of the fin-
est timber in the world and lumber Is
only $l4 to SIS per thousand, and
cedar shingles So. so per thousand.
sth-Belknap has the finest water
in the world and will have water
works completed In three months
with 100 pounds pressure to the
square inch, thereby securing all
against fire.
9th-Belknap is beautifully located
.127 feet higher than the Clarks
Fork of the Columbia, q navigable
stream apart Of the year, aud which
runs within OEe-half mile Of the
town.
1Oth-Belknap will be very healthy |
owing to its location for good drain |
age and good water.
1lth-Belknap is fortunately situat- |
ed In this respect. Its original OWL
ers decided to purchasers Of property, |
a warranty deed, as they have their |
title direct from the government.
18th. Belknap will be the point
OD the railroad where all the mails,
north and south, will be sent from for
q country 200 miles each way.
18th. Relknap will have smelters
and stamp mills as we'll as manu-
featuring establishments of all
kinds.
14th. Belknap will have the coun-
try cleared up, owing to the large
into the country and
fine farms and orchards will be culti-
vated in few years.
18th. Belknap is a city of law and
order, and all people going there will
have good treatment, and be salts
fed to settle down for lite and Join in
10 make it a beautiful city with
schools. etc.
