OUR CAMP.
What is Being Done in Some Butte
Mines.

We learn from reliable sources that dur
ing the past week quite a number OF miners
who have been camping around the street
corners OF this city, being attracted by the
splendid ore shipments from the many
mines OF this district, have followed the eX-
ample of our old ~prospectors, and shout
dering their hammer, pick and drill nave
off in the hills and valleys, located
mining claims and commenced work o
the own hook" Practical miners recog-
nize in Butte City and vicinity the nos
promising place for prospectors ina Is 70
he found anywhere in the great Northwest,
and as a consequence, a larger number OF
leasers and prospectors can be found mere
than in any other mining camp IN any OF
the Pacific Coast States or TERRITORIES.
We have vet to learn Of any company OF
men who are working mining properties IN
the district on leasing principle, but that
are making fair wages, while many OF 1hem
are doing remarkably well. =.
The boys at work on the Late Acquls
ton claim are making bushels OF money.
The drift on the 65-foot level OF this NINE
ia looking splendid. The ledge is now three
faet wide and assays, in silver and gold,
over $500 a ton. When the shaft, which Is
now being sunk with all possible dispatch,
shall reach the 125-foot level, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that a veritable a
uVlS
will be found.
At the Burlington Mine, in Independence
district. prospecting on the lower levels is
being carried on with vigor, while from the
inner workings of the mine a large guam
titv of high-grade ore is beins extracted:
The Gambrinus Mine is a new location,
and is situated in Missoula Gulch. Messrs.
William Smithern & Co. are working tins
mine with very encouraging results. A shalt
il being sunk on the ledge, and is now down
about thirty feet. The bottom OF the shalt "a It
shows a ledge ten feet wide, which gives 2lS
ounces of silver to the ton. The owners OF
the Gambrinus have undoubtedly a fine
thing in this property.
The recent strike on the 6OO-foot level OF
the Alice Mine is looking well, and great
things are expected from it. The general
condition oil this mine is better than 1T has
ever been before.
From-what we can learn OF the other
mines of the camp, we think that the min
ing outlook of Butte City is very f1atterlng,
and before the ''snow flies" we expect a
boom here that will surprise the most san
pnine expectations of our citizens.

A FULL HAND.
How the Citizens Drew Out on q Gang of
Horse Thieves.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 29.-Yesterday
the lynchingn OF five horse thieves was re-
ported, in addition to the recent report,
that fifteen men have been hanged in two
weeks. Efforts to substantiate the last
mentioned report resulted in the positive
proof OF the hanging a week ago, near
Y~atestown, of Frank Morgan, Bill Williams
and a boy named Moore. Bill Williams, Il
farmer living near Mud Creek, was sus-
pected and persons were detailed to watch
him. When it YVES learned that Williams
had unlawfully taken possession OF another
mans horse, thirty-two determined men
visited his house and arrested him.. Will
liams bid his family an affectionate fare
well and told them that if he did not re-
turn in two days they might know that he
was dead. Williams was then led several
miles away into some woods, where they
were met by another party having in
charge Frank Morgan and the boy Moore.
By a unanimous vote the men decided to
hang Williams and Morgan. Some con-
tended that by eason of the boys youth
it was best to turn him loose, with a mod
crate punishment, but it was finally de-
cided as there were great probability OF his
becoming a troublesome criminal better he
should die. Accordingly all three were
strung up on one limb. After the men died
| all were cut down and buried together. The
| posse then started on another hunt up the
| Wachita river, and reports come back that
| they. captured and lynched nine more,
thus making a total Of twelve. The latter
| reports, however, lacks confirmation.

BosroN, June ga large number OF
prominent gentlemen representing the bar,
bench, pulpit, platform, counting o and
council chamber were in attendance at the
reception given tonight by the Norfolk
Club to General John A. Logan at the
Parker House. He was greeted with q
round of cheers. He referred to the debt
which the West owes Massachusetts and to
the influence exerted by her. In nothing
was this influence more clearly and
permanently imprinted upon the nation
thar in the matter of education. In the
present aspect of affairs by education alone
the wisdom OF our course in reference to
the elevation of the colored race is to be
fully indicated. General Logan said: "ln
my opinion a reform which will guarantee
personal rights will be of more advantage
to the country than the transferring OF the
funds OF the Government from the Sub
Treasures of the United States to the
banks"
OF Civil Service Reform he said: "It is a
child of the Republican party but unfortu-
nately it has been pnt out to nurse with a
| stranger, and if not dead it now looks sick
unto death. The law is now being CON
| strued to the effect that any person who

A Press Association Rumpus.

LONDON, June 29.-The London newspa-
pers nave rebelled against Reuters News
Agency. 1t appears that this agency has
increased it's expense OF gathering news by
reason of the campaign in the Soudan and
difficulties in South Africa. At a meeting
of the newspaper proprietors it was de-
cided to make a stand against Reuter- de-
mands for increased pay. Rather than
pay more they gave it to be understood
they contemplated freeing themselves from
taking Reuters news by establishing a
news-gathering association of their own,
similar to the American Associated Press.
It cannot be ascertained whether any steps
have been taken since this meeting, but
enough has t~ranspired to indicate that
both parties will deliberate very cautiously
before committing themselves to a policy
that will lead to an inevitable rupture OF
the present relations. The prevalent be-
lief among those who are best informed is
that some satisfactory compromise will be
reached,

Troubles.

LOUISVILLE, June ga special to the
Courler-Journal from Morehead says: The
trouble in Rowan county has been renewed
again. Humphreys, the alleged Sheriff OF
the county, to-day shot Craig T. Oliver,
Marshal Of Morehead, and the leader OF
the opposition faction, who attempted to
arrest him on a charge Of confederating Tor
his (Olliver's) murder. oliver was shot
with buckshot, one shot penetrating the
breast, his head being shattered and his
cheek grazed. He returned the fire without
effect. Posses are forming to arrest Hum
phreys and his confederates, who are barri-
caded in Martins house. Almost certainly
the wal will open in earnest again. OLIVER
is not seriously hurt.
LArER.-At 4 o'clock this afternoon the
Morehead force attempted to arrest
Humphreys, when he and his confederate
Rayburn) rushed out Of the house and
ran, firing. The posse returned the fire,

Mine Owners VS.. Lot Owners.

Yesterday Clerk Warren of the District
Court was busily engaged in entering up the
judgements OF the court at Deer Lodge In
eleven cases recently tried and decided in
~yolving the title to real estate in this city.
The cases were taken to Deer Lodge on a
change OF venue and are all IDENTICAL IN
volving the title OF lot owners to property
located on mining claims. The property
involved is located on the Maximillion,
Pawnbroker, and Smokehouse claims. and
the decision in each was in favor OF the
mine owners. The cases although tried in
an adjoining county had to be sent to Sill,
yer Bow for record as the interests involved
are located here. 1t is probable all the
other cases pending of this nature and they
are numerous will be settled without FUR
ther litigation.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
At a meeting of the Midlothian Liberal
Association to-day the Chairman read a
letter from Gladstone, expressing his deep
and grateful sense of fidelity for their lib
eral manner in 1880 in dealing with diff
culties almost unexampled. He retralns
from criticising the Conservative Cabinet,
feeling it to be his duty to support and
assist them in doing right. He says he is
confident that the presence OF the Liberals
in Parliament will be competent to exer-
else the necessary vigilance. He asks Mid
lothian to assist him in using his strongest
and most sedulous efforts in the interest OF
the Liberal party. Gladstone says he did
not think he should again ask to be re-
turned to Parliament, but that events have
transpired which have rendered it necessary
that he should not imperil the unity and
efficiency of the party. This is tantamount
to the declaration thai ne will remain the
leader of the Liberals, The meeting was
