WOOL AT HOME AND IN TIVE EAST.

The wool clip of Southern Montana has
been progressing splendidlv for some time
past. Our most experienced Judges say
tine clip Of this year will be superior in
quality and average in quantity. Very lit
tie wool has been delivered at the Dillon
depot vet this season, but it will not be long
before the bales will be rolling in. A Boston
circular for the last week in June says:
"Tnere has been slightly more doing in
wool; hut largely owing to concessions
made by dealers to force sales, and the
market continues very decidedly in buyers
favor, particularly as far as old woods are
concerned. New woods, which continue TO
arrive in good condition, considerably bet
ter in fact than last year, are rather more
firmly held, and dealers are not disposed to
part with them, except at fair prices. Man
ufacturers continue to buv from hand to
mouth, and were never so lightly stocked
As at present, but there is no encourage
ment for them to speculate or buy ahead of
their wants, even at the very low prices rul-
ing and il certainly now looks as if we were
to have a slow market all through the sum-
mer, at prices not FIR from those Of to day"

lies through, Horse Prairie Valley, from
near the confluence of Horse Prairie with

over the Rocky Mountain range into Idaho

mines of Southern Montana are now pro-
ducing rich ores, and this is especially true
of the mines of Beaverhead County. 1t
orr miners intend to contribute toward
making creditable exhibition of the ores
of Montana it is time to commence the col.
lection of specimens. Montana miners and
others can visit the coming New Orleans
Exposition very cheapIy. A Blue Wing
miner can sell ton of second class ore and
paw his railroad fare to the great National
show and the miner will have a margin left
on the ton of ore to invest in fluid refresh
meuts. A stockman can sell a ycarling
bull or half. breed pony and with the pro-
ceeds paw his way to the Exposition One

New Orleans EXPOSITION next winter. From
Dillon to New Orleans, BY rail. it is about
two thousand four hundred and fifty miles
and the railroad fare will be about $3.50
from Dillon to the great Exposition. If
our miners do not intend to avail them
selves Of cheap passage to the Exposition
thew should contribute choice specimens Of
ore from all OF the surrounding districts.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

A writer in contemporary says there will
be considerable railroad work done in Mon.
tana this year. The branch from Stuart
station on the Utah and Northern and An.
aconda will soon be in operation. The
branch from the Butte terminus 10 the An.
aconda mine is in an advanced stage vi
completion. II is tolerably sure that the
Utah and Northern will extend branch
from Dillon to the coal fields Of Gallatin
county. It Is almost certain that road
will be built from Butte to Benton via Hell.
ena, and perhaps 10 connect with the Can
adam Pacific. The Northern Pacitic's late
" completed branch to Wickcs is a success
and Il is but reasonable to conclude that ali
the branches proposed will prove paying
railway enterprises.

on the 22d ult. Father kelleher had been
Jealous and faithful rector of that church

The Crur dAlene humbug having at
tracted thousands of fortune hunters and
having failed to furnish one twentieth part
of them with work, Montana is flooded at
present with broke men seeking employ
,nent Many of these stampeders are good
miners, who, too proud to beg and too high
toned to steal rides on empty railway trains
have passed through Beaverhead County
a-fcot, with their blankets on the backs, re-
turning to the Southern camps ofthe Rock
les, from whence they stampeded.
The remains of John Pierce, formerly of
Horse Prairie, and who died recently at
Stock ton, California, at the age Of fitty-five
years, was taken to Deer Lodge by his
brothers William and Thomas Pierce and
inferred in the Deer Lodge cemetery. The
deceased was an old time miner, well-known
in Montana. In IS he worked a rich claim
in 'the gate" in Mcclellan Gulch, and he
afterward helped organize company and
build the White Bar ditch on the Grassfop-
per below Bannack. He. had been insane
for number of years.
