SIRED BY SAM.

We regret to chronicle the death of the
Bozeman Duly Chronicle. After living a
life Of six months and several DAYS, all of
which were full of trouble, the Dtuly CA,ou-
icle collapsed last week. Hon. Sam Lang
horne was the sire of the Daily Chronicle,
and now that the sheet is dead, dead per-
haps beyond the hope of resuscitaton or
resurrection, we are sorry for Sam. Our
sorrow is deep, genuine ard heartfelt. For
months the Daily Chronicle reached our
Office without missing a daily issue, and
now that it is numbered with the defunct
we dep!ore its untimely denise--because it
was "sired by Sam" During it's life it
was shutdown edition of Democracy, but
Democracy did not kill it. 1t died from
want of pecuniary wind, or, in other words,
because it is one of the impossible things
to run a daily newspaper exclusively on
wind. In the death of the Daily CAyout-
Gle we recognize again the solemn truth
that it is an impossibility to make daily
paper stick in a one-horse town. If no
burial has vet taken place of the dead
daily we would suggest that it be solemnlv
inferred. Call out the Bozeman brass band,
let the citizens of that town turn out as
mourners, and then, wrapping the remains
OF the defunt edition of lampblack and
rags in suitable shroud, plant it in the
city cemetery. And then, to crown all,
call on the muni6cent Nelse Story to build
a monument over the remains, on which
inscribe this and this only-"Sired by Sam"

KELLEY'S CONCERT.

Following surfeit of show and enter
tainment it was expected that the announce
ment that the veteran violinist, John Kel-
ley, would give musical soiree on Tues
day evening would fall flat and few would
attend. On the contrary, School Hall was
tolerably we'll filled with select aud
fence. Those who were fortunate enough.
to be present ere treated to melodious
feast of vocal and instrumental music by
the worldrenowned master of music, as
sisted by Mrs. Kelley who is an accomplish
ed pianist and orgarist The rendition of
every piece was enthusiastically applauded
by delighted audience. The songs, hap
PLY chosen, were given in Kellev's old
style, Tor which he has been famous for
forty years. Among the pieces which were
given 1.-THE Church Bell Chimes" evidenc-
ed mastery handling of the banjo The
presentation of 1.-THE Arkainsaw Traveller,
was superb, and equaled the original rendi-
ton. The Dream Of Music" a musical
gem, crowned the musicians efforts of the
evening, and its sweet combination of deli
cious harmony captivated everybody. Mr..
Kelley is now making his last musical
tour. The veteran vio'iniSt, at the age of
seventytwo years, will meet with appre.
ciative audiences wherever he goes for his
concerts are the soul Of music.

ORE SHIPMENTS.

Ore shipments from Dillon are jncreas
ing. Thus far the shipments have largely
exceeded those fol a corresponding period
of last year.
During the past week the First National
Bank Of Dillon shipped eight car loads OF
Blue Wing ore and four car loads of Geor-
gia Gulch ore.
The First National Bank has received
thus far the following lots of ore for ship.
ment to Omaha:
From Armstrong & Hardesty $4,000
pounds of ore from Georgia Gulch and vi
cinity in Madison county.
From Frank Sears 2S,ooo pounds of ore
from the Delmonte mine in the Blue Wing
district.
From James Hardy $4,000 pounds of ore
from the Blue Wing district.
From F. L. Graves 10000 pounds of ore
from the Blue Wing district.
In addition to the above the First Ma
tional shipped 3S,ooo pounds of ore from
Judge Browns New Depa, ture mine in the
Blue Wing district
Returns from the New Departure ore
showed that it netted $1,000 over all ex-
penses, or over $3.50 per ton profit.
The indications are that more ore will be
shipped from Dillon this wear than the
combined shipments during the past three
years aggregated.

A BIG INSTITUTION.

We call attention to the new tad. OF the
Montana Lumber and Produce Co. in to-
davis paper. The main Office of the COM
pany is at Butte, with branches a: Dillon
and Anaconda, at each of which points the
company carries large stocks of building
material, and at Butte it is the heaviest pro-
duce dealer in the Territory. AT its Dill
lon yards we notice large amount of fin
ished and rough lumber and building ma
terial, suitable for supplying the trade of
the surrounding country. At Butte the
company owns and operates the Montana
steam planning mills, which are said to be
the largest and most complete mills OF the
kind in the Territory, employing large
number Of skilled workmen in the manu-
facture ofeverything from plain picket to
an elabor ate sideboald. Recently the COM
pany has been erecting two new saw mills
near Missoula, and shipping arrangements
have been perfected by which the company
will be enabled to furnish the superior lum-
Der from that section at prices but little if
any above the ordinary fir lumber Of our
immediate vicinity. The company intends
opening branches at Helena and Spokane
Falls at an early day. The company is
composed of men well known all over
Montana, and of whose ability to manage
an immense business Of this kind there can
be no doubt. The sales of the company,
at the three principal places of its business,
for the ten months ending June 1st, 1854,
aggregated $372.ooo

THE CIRCUS AND THE CROWD.

No event transpires during the season
that draws so many people together as the
appearance of a circus. The people, are
always aroused at the announcement that
circus is coming and they go in cro"ds
to see it. Last Sunday visitors commenc'
ed pouring into Dillon from all directions
and by 10 o'clock Monday morning the
streets and sidewalks were pretty well hiieo
up with people, regardless OF age or sex,
including quite a sprinkle OF "ln)uns.
We can not attempt to describe the CROWD
other than to saw the crowd was big ana
good humored The menager1e and circus
arrived on two double header trains OF the
Utah and Northern, and nothing finer OF
similar character has ever come into Mon
tana. In short time after the arrival OF
the last train, the huge spread OF canvas
was erected on the old show ground north
east of Helena street. The procession pa
raded no Idaho street to Sebree street,
thence to Montana street, down Montana
to Helena street and thence to the show
grounds. The parade was the hnest ever
witnessed in Southern Montana presenting
novelties and innovations new to these
Northern mountains. The ghtter'ng oano
chariot, drawn by eight dromedaries was
greatly admired. Two splendid brass hands
and a steam calliope discoursed fine MUSIC.
The elephants afforded the usua! feast tor
hundreds OF eyes that were turned upon
their huge proportions, especially the
monster elephant Samson was a wonder.
The characters with their unique masks
occupying prominent positions on the top
of the cages greatly amused the spectators
with their pantomime. Taking the street
parade altogether it was magnificent one
and the crowd was we'll satisfied. Two ex-
hibitions were given-afternoon and even
ing. In the afternoon about fifteen hund-
red tickets were sold, but at night the at
tendance was small. Many we're pleased
with the show, while others cussed and
criticised the circus plenty. However. this
is a free country, and all the victims of dis
appointed expectations can console them
selves with the reflection that in all s,roba-
bility big circus will not strike this alti-
tude more than once year.
