The Minneapolis wheat market was
strong all the week until Friday when it
weakened and declined about &c all
around, though the close was fairly
Arm. Traders are inclined TO the bull
side despite the heavy drop elsewhere,
but most millers seem to think wheat is
too high, and all are sure that -four has
not advanced in equal proportion on the
late bulge. There was but one influence
10 sustain prices during the week and
that was the heavy demand for wheat
from local mills. The receipts were about
double those of the previous week.

ERNEsr's EXPERIENCES.
What United states Engineer Saw IN
the Northwest.

Major Ernst. of the United States engi-
neering department, has returned from
his inspecting tour to the upper Missouri
river. He first went to Helena, Montana,
and then by skiff went to the long pools
lust below the falls OF the Missouri. TAX
ing the stage road he reached Fort Benton
the head of navigation. Thence by
steamboat to Bismarck, and from there
home by rail, no boat being procurable.
The Major returns well Drowned by his
frontier experience, and as frisky AS one
can expect 10 be this hot weather he
came home with pretty good opinion OF
that country and with his first batch of
IDEAS about the upper Missouri, picked up
by actual observation. A survey has new
er yet been made of the upper waters, and
it was to facilitate the survey now, going
on and locate places of Improvement that
he made the trip. He found that the old
Muddy is capable of great Improvement
about 200 miles below Fort Benton, which
can be accomplished by means Of dredge
Great banks of sand and boulders are the
principal distractions, and the plan Of re-
moving all distractions by dredging the
shoals Mai. Ernst considers altogether
feasible and simple. AS to the country it
self he has little hopes of it's ever resulting
in an agricultural community unless eX-
tensive irrigation is practiced. The intel
ligence and hardihood of the people he
met there were the principal things that
first impressed him. Some of the most
intelligent ranchmen he found in the Ger
mans. The grazing qualities of the coun-
try are unsurpassed and the cattle business
is f1our1shing. Helena he found to be a
pushing, progressive city of tNelve thou
sand inhabitants with fine hotel, many
elegant brick blocks, and nearly all the
comforts of life. Major Ernst was away
month and gave the river a very good
study. He will submit no special report,
but his observations will be incorporated
in his annual report.-St. Louis Post.

The Montana Press Association.

On the evening of the goth the dontana
Press Association met at Butte. There
was about twenty-five members present.
The Miner says: 1t is doubtful il a finer
looking body of men, physically or intel
lectually, ever assembled in the city of
Butte, than the one that met in the court
house last evening. The morals of the
gentlemen assembled can be easily arrived
at when it is stated that large pitcher of
water that was placed on the secretary7s
desk remained untouched during the en-
tire session. There was not man pres
ent who wished to surprise his stomach.
The meeting was called to order by w.
W. Anderson, of the Bozeman Courier,
first vice president of the association,
Vice President Sutherlin and Secretary
Collins being in their respective places.
Mr.. Anderson sincerely regretted that
President Mills was prevented, by the
sickness Of some of the members of his
family, from being in attendance. He was
glad to state that since their last meeting
none of the members of the association
had been taken away by the hand of death,
but was sorry to announce that some of
their number had been visited by the fire
iend, and had sustained heavy and severe
losses. Mr.. Anderson concluded his open
ing speech by referring briefly to the OBJ
jects and principles of the association.
His remarks were listened to very atten-
lively, and at the close the speaker was
heartily applauded.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson of the Dillon
Tribune the regular order of business was
suspended and the following named
gentlemen were elected active members of
the association: G. o. Ziegenfuss and P
A Julien of the Butte Daily Miner; Lam
bert Mollinelli, r. NJ. Cobban, w. E. Da,
wilson and w. G. Oakley of the Town
Talk; J. Fl. Menteith of the Butte Inter
Mountain; also A. B. Keeler, L. nj. Peach
Fl. e. Lawrence, r. T. Wilkinson, Hugh
McQuaid and L. o. Leonard. After the
transaction Of important business the
Injecting adjourned until Friday at Il
O'Clock.

Wa it a Miracle.

ALBANY, n. Y, August 21.-Consider-
able excitement has been caused in Cohoes
by strange sight at the residence of Mrs.
Thos. Woods, whose infant child died on
Wednesday. When the undertaken was
preparing the body tor burial one of the
pastors present suddenly declared that the
figure Of cross and chalice could be seen
on the white cloth that covered the child's
face; others came and saw the same.
Word went out and people flocked to the
house until it became necessary to call on
the police to keep back the crowds. The
cloth was frequently wet with water but
the figures remained. The spots where
the cross and chalice were outlined were
of glistening. whittier shade than the re-
mainder of the cloth. When it was wet
about II o'clock yesterday the shadow
disappeared. Many believe it to have been
miracle.

The Sweet Grass Mines.

A couple of gentlemen returned from
the Sweet Grass hills yesterday and are
enthusiastic over the outlook for the camp.
One of the gentlemen, who has mined in
California, Oregon, Nevada and Idaho,
says he has never seen such prospects in
the last twenty years. His statements
can be relied on. The work which has
been done thus far is only preliminary to
the opening up Of claims. Jos. Suprenant
has sunk a shaft to bedrock on his claim
and took out $5 to the pan. The work
iIas bten done at and feaf tie tie place where
the discovery was made, and but little
prospecting done anywhere else. 1t is re-
ported that discoveries have been made in
both the east and west buttes.
From letter just received we are per-
mitted to make the following extracts ::
s'Three claims are now open to bedrock,
viz, those of Main & Cary, Fred Der
went and Hogan & Bolio, which pay from
rs cents to $5 to the pan. Some trouble is
experienced from scarcity of water, and
long drain bitches will be necessary.
There are now in the camp about seventy
five miners, nearly all Of whom will win
ter here. The claims all pay wages on
the rim. Miners are arriving every day.
Another large party arrived from Butte
on the 10Th and also party from Calgary.
Jack Faucet has a good claim. Other
gulches have not yet been prospected, but
will be as soon as claims in discovery
guleh are all taken up"
A gentleman informed our reporter to-
day that, from all appearances, from
SIC. 900 to $4,000 can be taken from any
claim now being worked. It is said that
water is more plenty in the east and west
buttes than in the middle one, where oper-
ations are now being conducted. The
surface indications of the east butte appear
more favorable for the finding Of gold than
either of the others.
The news received Saturday and Sunday
has induced others to try their luck, anc
several parties will leave this week.

An Historical Nugget.

WASHINGTON, August 16.-The collec-
ton of gems belonging to the Smithsonian
institute, which was recently exhibited at
the New Orleans exhibition, has just been
put in the national Museum for the first
time. 1t is not the largest or most valua-
BILE one in the United States, although it
may be at the end of democratic retrench-
ment and reform. Among its treasures
is a little nugget of gold, a little bigger
than pea. 1t is the most remarkable bit
of metal in the worlds history. 1t is the
first glittering particle of gold that met
the eye of James Marshall the discoVerer
of gold in California, who died last week
old poor and misanthropic. Since Mar
shall found the bit of mineral in 1849 near
Marysville, California has added TO the
gold OF the world nearly 81, 800, 100000.

The Sale of The IN eihart Mines.

Col. Broadwater and Mr.. Ryan arrived
here Saturday afternoon from Neihart,
and the same days coach brought IN
Messrs. Mcintosh and Wells, part owners
of the leads at Neihart which had been
bonded last spring. The parties were un-
communicative, but we have since learned
from most reliable sources that BroadWa-
ter ct al. have purchased the interests OF
Mcintosh and Wells and that the deeds OF
the same are now on record at the county
clerks office at the Springs. we dld not
learn the exact figures of the consldera-
ton. but understand that they are IN the
neighborhood of $50, 900 dollars. AS Col.
Broadwater has letters of administrator
on the estate of Wallace Bell, deceased
partner in these mines, the present pur-
chase leaves only the interest OF James
Chamberlain outside of his, and gives
Broadwater and his associates large con-
trolling interest in the property. Ihe pur-
chase money was paid in Helena on Mon
day, and we expect to see operations on
this group of mines resumed immediateiy'

casiona1 lots from noighboring sections,
that manufacturers are often mistaken in
what they see. Notwithstanding the pro-
duction of wool in parts near by, in close
imitation of the native growth, the amount
is so limited that M ontana wool possesses
individual characteristics that, with the
quantity raised and marketed, gives it a
claim to separate quotation in the mar
ket reports that are collected every week.
1t is estimated that the shipments of wool
out of the territory. for 1884, amounted to
4, $50, 900 pounds, nine-tenths of which
was taken over the Northern Pacific rail-
road. The shipments in July and August
amounted to &c per cent of the whole.
The number and value OF sheep, according
TO careful estimates, respectively 593, 1876
and 81 ,693, 148, representing in the former
instance an increase of 271a per cent over
the preceding year. Every year the
quality of the fiber is improved, and pop
ularity follows in the track. 1t is calcula-
ted that at least no per cent of the clip OF
1884 was consigned to Boston merchants.

GOOD NEWS FROM NEGHARr.
nhe Reported Sale of the st. Julian Mine
and $50 Feet of the Montana
Bell Confirmed.

The following words were contained in
priyate letter received from Neihart
bearing date of August 14th: "Col.
Broadwater came in to-day. From what
| can learn he has bought the St. Julian
mine and is hiring men to put to work."
The writer of the letter is we'll known in
this vicinity, and what he says can be re-
lied upon. This statement came unex-
pectedly. Rumors had been current for
some time past that the syndicate had
about concluded not to take the property.
Their stopping work, closing the mine
and dscIarging the men employed by
them led the people to think the rumors
were we'll founded. We are glad, how
ever, to chronicle the fact that the mine
has been purchased and the work will go
on. This will put life and activity into
the camp, and those people who were de-
spondent at the way affairs seemed to be
going, will now take heart and hold their
properties.

A Fatal Cattle scourge.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, August 1S.-A
strange cattle disease, supposed to be
spanish or Texas fever, has appeared here
and is creating considerable excitement
among stockmen. weeks ago Mi
chal Bros, large cattlemen of Dodge City,
shipped 81 stock cattle here from Hutchi-
son, Kans. When they arrived they APP
peared to be in perfect health. On Friday
last the cattle showed signs of being sick,
and already fifteen are dead and twelve
more down with the disease. hen it
was learned that they were sick, fifteen
were shipped to Indianapolis. Veterinary
surgeons say it is genuine Spanish or lex
as fever. The cattle commissioner has

Germany and Spain.

MADRID, August 2l.-The reply of Ger
many to Spain's protest in reference to
the formers annexation of the Caroline
islands has been received by the govern
ment here. 1t is couched in friendly
terms. The German government offers to
submit the claims of Spain to the Caro-
lines to fair examination. 1t is reported
here that two Spanish war ships have oc-
cupied Yap, the chief Island Of the Caro-
line group. The feeling in Madrid against
Germany because of her assumption Of
possession of these islands is so bitter as to
cause alarm. At meeting of the Geo
graphical society last night various mem
bers made speeches violently denouncing
the action Of Germany. Their remarks
were received with great applause. Fears
are entertained that hostile demonstra-
ton will be made against the German en-
bassy, and in consequence body of police

Refuse to Purchase.

WASHINGTON, August 21.-The usual
semi-weekly purchase of silver for coinage
into standard silver dollars, was omitted
to-day. Several offers were received at
the treasury department., but all were re-
jected as being excessive. An official said
that while the price Of silver has declined
there was no corresponding reduction in
any of the offers received.
