An Accident.

A discharged soldier named George A.
Mccarthy arrived from Fort Aassinaboine
Saturday evening and started for Helena
on the coach this morning, and occupied a
seat with the driver. He was somewhat
under the influence Of liquor when he
started. After getting out on the road he
showed an inclination to go TO sleep and
was urged by the driver 70 get inside as
he was liable at any time to fall off, but
the urging had no effect except to make
him more determined TO stay where he
was. The driver used his utmost endeav-
ors to keep him on the seat by buckling
the apron about him. When the coach ar
rived at a point about three miles beyond
the Mile Spring the man fell off and
broke his leg so badly that the bone pro-
truded through the flesh. The driver and
passengers put him in the coach and he
was brought Immediately to town. The
injuries were of the most painful charac-
ter. A physician was sent for and the
broken leg SET. It will be many days be-
fore he will be able to start again for his
home. He was registered at the Grand
Union hotel as belonging to Columbus,
Ohio

An Indlen Clerk.

Joseph Woodbury., son of the late Min
nesota Chippewa, Hole-in-the Day, has
been appointed clerk in the chronological
bureau to assist DR.. Dorsey, whose re-
searches IN Sotlix Indian lore are the most
creditable OF recent studies in that direc-
ton. Young Woodbury. is now the chief
OF the ChippeWas, 80 far as they have any
chief. He was educated III the public
schools of Minneapolis, where his mother,
formerly OF, w asllington, now lives. He
is tall, handsome, educated young man
and he will doubtless justify the interest
which Governor Ramsey and other of his
Minnesota friends have taken in him.

NEIHART NOTES.
An Interesting Budget From One OF the
Coming Mining Camps OF Montana.

The smelter of the Hudson Mining COM
pany made most successful run of about
a week, turning out between twenty-five
and thirty tons of very high grade bullion.
This has been shipped east, and the re-
turas from il will no doubt astonish the
natives. The snelter worked like charm
but they were compelled to shut down for
the time being for want of coal. The
works will be started again the first week
in January and run steadily all winter.
Messrs. Rice & Wells are now burning
coal in their newly built furnaces, and
with start of three or four weeks will be
able to supply All abundance of that article
all that will be g3eeded 20 keep the snlelt-
er running during the winter.
Another big strike has been made on
the Mountain Chief ground. While sur-
veying for tunne it is proposed to run
on the lead tfrom the Carpenter creek side
OF the Uountaiu) another vein about telf
feet in width was discovered. It is we'll
defined lead, carrying high grade ore and
will be developed at once.
A contract haas been let for driving the
tunnel mentioned above, and which, when
completed, will tap the mine at depth of
about 500 feeC.
I'll. d. Burghardt has made big strike
in the Whippoorwill, at depth of little
oyer 100 feet. He has struck a fine body
of ere, much richer than has yet been
found in the mine, and which carries to a
large extent both native silver and cop
per, Mr., Burghardt is not little pleased
with the showing made by the Whippoor-
will, and we know of no one more de-
serving of fortunes favor than he. Under
the most adverse circumstances he has
displayed spirit of perseverance and de-
termination and his faith in the camp has
never wavered for moment We doubt
if there is a single man in the Belt moan-
tains who will not be glad to learn that
Mr.. Burghardt is now in a fair way to
reap the reward due his energy and in
dustry.
The Dakota is one of the marvellous
mines OF the camp. InlS Is Lhe lead IN
which the Toole Bros. of Helena are in
terested and for the development of which
they have put up the money. The mine
has been developed by shaft and tunnel,
the connection between them having been
made few days ago. 1t shows vein of
Il feet and some Of the richest ore that has
yet been brought to light in Neihart. The
Dakota is veritable bonanza.

a Few Eplstles From Girls Who Want to |

Some time ago we published an article
setting forth the disparity between the
male and female population of Montana
and the rare opportunities afforded here
for limited number of the charming
girls of New England, where they are al
together too thick to prosper. We simply
pointed out the benefits that would accrue
from a fairer distribution of the fair sex
and the domestic blessing and comfort that
might follow in its wake to many of our
benighted and lonely bachelors. That ar
ticle has evidently been ''going the
rounds.' We have heard from it every
now and then, but as last nights mail
brought as six letters OH the subject we
are afraid it is going to be first class nui-
sance. The article evidently appeared in
New York paper week or so ago. For
the benefit of our bachelor friends we
