H. C. Gill and J. ii. Poe, witt
their families, returned last Wednes
day from ten days stay in the
Piney Woods. Headquarters were
at Beckwith Springs, which by the
way, only needs little advertising
to become fayorite health resort
Messrs. Gill q Poe bagged some
game while out, and we don't think
they violated the game law, either.
They report crops as unusually fine
in that section of our parish. The
people are enjoying an abundance of
fruit of all kinds. Our friends think
there is future for this, compare
lively speaking, undeyeIoped portion
of our parish. The lands are pro-
ducLige and is fast settling up with
thrifty, intelligent class Of people,
who will no doubt make quite a
change in the next decade. Our rnsti-

Mr.. John II. Poe starts out next
Monday for the purpose of holding
elections for the sale of Sixteenth Sec.
tons, and we hope the people will
turn ont and vote for the sale of these
lands, for by their sale we will have
an opportunity to build up good
schools throughout the parish. As
they are now, they are of no benefit
to US in any way, and are liable to be
depleted of their timber at any time,
which would reduce their value so
per cent. So we hope the good peo-
pie in the locations where these cleo
tions are to be held will turn out and
do their duty to themselves and their
children by voting for the sale of
these lands.

4 MOUNTAIN PINK.
Miss Laura Dainty as Sincerity Weeks.

Next Saturday evening the Mountain Pink
Co will appear at O'Neills Theatre in the
beautiful American drama Of that name.
The Company have been very approvingly
spoken Of by the press wherever they have
appeared. The piece is entirely new here,
but the management have shown aagacity
In issuing, in neat form, 1.-THE Story Of .
Play" which gives the outline Of the drama.
This is hint fer other companies producing
new plays. They would fnd It of advantage
to work a reverse impression on their bills Of
new plays giving an outline Of the plot. -
Speaking Of the Laura Dainty Company,
the Oregonian thus mentions their appear
ance in the New Market Theatre at Portland
few days ago aMiss Laura Dainty, In her
charming impersonation Of Sincerity Weeks
in "a Mountain Pink" has grown In popular
favor from her FIRST appearance on Monday
night. Nothing could be more true to nature,
more full Of simplicity and genuine pathos
than her delineation Of the untutored, NOBLE
freshness, breath Of novelty about her act
ing that cannot fail to win applause. Be-
tween the third and fourth acts last evening
Miss Dainty recited two selections In most
inimitable manner-particularly Bret Harris
"Bill Mason" We do not remember to have
ever heard anything given with more ear
nestness and expression than she threw into
her rendering Of this poem. The company
Is above the average, Messrs. Hynson, Rose
and Wilson being particularly good. Miss
Neddie Gregg sustained the widely diverse
parts OF Belle Trafton and Samanthy Weeks
most admirably, while Miss Midgely as
Nondas was veriiable 'tigerlily.'p

To the Sheriff Of Choteau County, NJ. T.:
Man named Ben Hale shot one Robert Ca
crossed the line into United States territory.
Should he visit your place please hold for
extradition warrant
VS.. ANDERSON, j. P.
Another dispatch has been received sta
ting that Casey was shot at 0 o'clock Thurs
day evening, and died on Friday morning
further particulars not known.
Casey was well known in Fort Benton. 1t
will be remembered that he was driving
stage for YIN. Rowe a few years ago, and
was lest for nine days on the prairie in ex-
dering about by VIM. Rowe beyond the
2S- Mile Springs and was brought to town so
badly frozen that it was necessary to ampu-
tate both legs to save his life. A popular
subscription was raised and Casey visited
the different towns in the territory, in each
of which he received a generous sum. This
money he invested in cattle, from the sale
of which he realized $4,000 recently. He
has been living at Medicine Hat with his
brother for several years. He paid Fort
Benton a visit few weeks ago. or his
murderer we can obtain no definite informa
ton, except he Is known in Fort Benton
having been here not very long ago.

The waiIack Theatre Company.

We have not doubt that the above COM
pany, now playing in Montana, and which
was brought on with especial view to open
ing the Grand Opera House in Butte, is the
best company throughout that has ever ap-
peared on the stage in Montana. They are
all fine artistes, and come here with a choice
repertoire of the most successful new dramas
which they have played hundreds Of times,
and in which they are dead letter perfect.
They have all the accessories Of cestuming,
scenery and properties to present the pieces,
whore the stage facilities are adequate, as
handsomely as is done in New York. We
had not anticipated they would appear here,
but note from the manager requests us to
state they will appear in Deer Lodge one
evening in the great New York success,
Victor Durand. We advise all our people
who appreciate the drama to bear in mind
this event, and when the date is announced
to secure seats. 1t will be dramatic event
that none can afford to miss.

AdJudged Insane
Helena Herald, Doth.

DIR. u. G. Brooke, n well-known and old
time citizen of Helena, was arrested on Sat
urday night on n charge of insanity, made
by his brother, T.. @. Brooke, of White Hall,
aud his son, Lee, Of this city. The Doctor
had been drinking some, and when arrested
resisted the officers so fercely that they
found 1t necessary to handcuf him. He was
examined the same evening before jury In
the Probate Court, who adjudged him insane
and recommended his being sent TO the asy-
lum. He was accordingly taken over to
Warm Springs yesterday morning In charge
Of Deputy Sheriff and committed to the
care of Drs. Mitchell aud Mussigbred.
DIR. Brooke has been suffering from bodily
ailments for some years. Last year he went
East and had a surgical operation performed
upon his breast, which he survived, though
1t was considered very dangerous. He has
been addicted TO the use Of ardent spirits for
some years, which was frequently carried to
excess Lately he has become very violent,
and so unmanageable that 1t was thought
imperative 20 the safety Of his family to have
him confined. He was accordingly arrested
and sent TO the asylum as noted above.

or the entire number of United States
Assay Offices that located at Helena ranks
second in importance-the New York Office
standing first on the list The business of
the Helena Assay Office, compared with any
other. shows the greatest increase, and the
number and volume Of Its transactions are
an index by which some estimate may be
made Of the advance In our mineral indus
try, particularly in the development Of gold
producing properties. For the first six
months Of the present year the number Of
precious metal deposits-principally gold
In the Helena Office was 900, as against 20
for the corresponding period Of 1884, an in
crease Of considerably more than one-half.
Last year Montana calamity took the lead,
and against all competing States and Terri
tories came out ahead in the value Of her
mineral product The Government Assay
ONCE here was signally . barometer Of the
upward mining turn, as its gold and silver
deposits for the twelve months Of 1884 ex-
ceeded those Of the preceding year by 400.
BY the same unerring indications the year
Of 1885 will show still larger proportional
product than 1884. The need now Is that the
Helena Assay Office be advanced to fully
established mint. That event cannot be
long in coming. in view Of the frat place In
mining Industry reached by Montana.

bowed heads and fearful eyes listening to
the touching words Of the minister, and no

BLAcKFoor VALLEY, July Is, 1SS5.-This

with the richest in the Territory-Lincoln
and Mcclellan. Next comes Stonewall and
Keep Cool, Liverpool aud Saur Krout. All
these have been rich in places and are not
half worked out All have abundance Of
water, and with modern appliances can be
made to pay well. The Cameron Brothers
are putting in o flume in Stonewan gulch.
Other parties are mining ut the head Of the
gulch. James Hansen is piping of some
bars in Poor Man creek, between Mcclellan
and the main range, with good results. Old
Lincoln, for the work done, has paid well
for drifting, and a claim that has been work
ed with pipe has yielded well. SEND by
this mail an ordinary piece of quartz from
the Giant lode, in Stonewall, owned by
Cameron Bros. 1t will speak for itself with
mortar and pan; also sample OF rock from
the Comet lode, in Poor Man district, owned
by WIN. Curran. 1t assays high in silver
and gold; 1t is on the Lincoln stage road.
There are timber and water on the claim in
abundance for working purposes. 1t will
compare favorably with the best quartz In

Butte Toton Talk, 2lst.

Butte ToDn Talk, 2lst.
One of the most brutal and cowardly
crimes which as yet has been our lot to
chronicle, occurred yesterday afternoon at
about go o'clock. A well known and in
offensive Celestial, who goes under the SOU
briquet OF Opium Jim, was cruelty butchered
by tranps, whose murderous qualities have
no equal in the annals of crime. The affair
took Ilace in . Chinese howell situated in
gulch near the Montana Improvement Com
pany'spremises, where the iends proceeded
after having drained the contents Of beer
keg which they in some manner had previ-
ously procured. Here they found Jim, lying
on his bunk, and it is presumed asked him
for money, when, upon being refused, they
proceeded with dirks, daggers and knives to
foully murder him. The cries Of the unfor-
tunae victim attracted the attention Of
Charley Fiske, a brave little lad. nine ye,ys
of age, who Immediately ran for assistance,
returning shortly with some officers. Con-
stable Engel succeeded in capturing two of
the bloody criminals, whom he found in the
hut with daggers in their hands still drip
ping with blood, the result of their deadly
WORK.
The wounded man was assisted to the
street in the hope of obtaining medical re-
lief, and was subsequently removed to the
Sisters Hospital, and DR.. johnson sum-
monei to his side. The physician stated
that IL was impossible for the man to sur
vive, As there are two wounds in the breast,
either of which would prove fatal, and
shortly after 4 o'clock to-day the victim, in
intense agony, was dying, forever sealing
his lips and the story Of how the affair &C.
CURED Four men have been arrested for
the crime, whose names are VIM. Riley,
Edward Campbell, Eugene Farrell and Ed.
Garety, two of whom, Riley and Campbell,
were captured in the act at the howell. They
are kept In close confinement, as the indig-
nation and feeling against them, both from
the whites and Celestials, is so strong that
the slightest excitement would tend to Gre
ate an onslaught on the murderous scoun-
drels now in Jail. That they will receive
their lust deserts at the HANDS Of the law is
conceded by all, and there is no necessity for
mob violence.
They will be held for murder, to await the
action of the grand jury, and will remain In
custody without bail. The Chinaman has
been taken charge Of by his countrymen and
will be given proper burial as soon as death
relieves him of his sufferings, which is mo-
mentarily expected.
