A Desirable Work.

mobile Deeds of the Great and
Brave" is tie title Of a finely bound
book just issued by A. L Bancroft q
Co., San Francisco. The subject
matter of the work Is gathered from
the gems of the greatest writer's of
prose and poetry of many ages and
nations. Within its 500 pages Is a
record of the grand achievements,
heroic sacrifices, valiant exploits,
knightly virtues, patriotism. integ~
rity. maguanimity, devotion to duty,
fidelity to home and kindred, and
true friendship.
Not a few of these majestic pro-
auctions have come down to US from
a much earlier period in the history
of the world. They were not OF an
age, but for all time," and will be
handed down to coming generations
to cheer and inspire the hearts of
millions yet unborn. Others are Of
a later date, cut have won recogni.
ton for their intrinsic merit, and
are worthy of q place beside the great
wo, ks of the past.
AS a book for the young, the mid
dle-aged and the aged it Is all that
could be desired. The large number
of full.paged engravings appear to
have been selected with the design
of c'e .rly illustrating the topics
treated. The work Is sold by sub
scriptlon only. Parties desiring to
secure territory should address A. L.,

GAME LAWS.
The Rod and Gun Club Take Earnest
Action.

The Butte City Rod and Gun club
met last evening at Gilbert's head
quarters in full force. The active
members have been frequently
notified of gross violations of the
game laws of Montana. Having no
individual power to avert these evils
and wrongs perpetrated they have
resolved to appeal to the chosen men
Of the people, our Legislators.
More preventive and stringent
measures r. required.
At the meeting last night 4 petit
ton to the legislature asking that
al! powerful and honorable body to
enact a law appointing game consta-
bles for each county, his duty requir-
ing him TO see that the general
laws are enforced. The petition also
asks that an amendment be affixed
making it a criminal ottens t. kill
any large game for market purposes.
The action taken by the R.. l. G
club has been talked of AID most
thoroughly endorsed by very many,
not members, but men of high stand
ing who represent large properties In
the Territory. They r all In ear
nest and will give the legislature
their support in the enactment of
these proposed laws. Too muc1
freedom and lawlessness have been
INDUCED in during the past several
years by men who defied the law as
it now stands.
Other matters of interest were in
troduced at the meeting last night
and the subjects fully discussed. The
fact that our game laws have been SO
entirely disregarded and so often vio-
lated is sufficient cause for the action
taken by these R. and G. gentlemen
who represent Montana's best citi-
zens. The matter will be nor
thoroughly and explicitly laid be-
fore the public in the near future.

The Revolution

In medical practice, whi,h has taken place
within the past thirty years, has been very
marked. When Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
first made their appearance. violent purgati0n,
tho lancet and narcotics were measures resort
ed 10 with little regard to the idiosyncrasies of
the sick, Now infinitely more satisfactory results
are accomplished with the Bitters. The consti-
pated are no longer dosed and drenched. the
fever stricken are not weakened by bleeding,
and sedatives have taken the places of plates.
Dyspepsia. nervousness. insomnia, ~irregu!arity
ofthe bowels, rheumatism and chills and f. .
yer. are success siully treated with this popular
tonic and regulator. AS a medicated stfmulant
1t is professionally commended, and is prefer
able, as q means of renewing exhausted ener-
gy, to the averag &c tonics. These atements rest
upon ample evidence. III to22

Auditors Statement.

The following Is taken from the
annual report of Territorial Auditor
Woolman for the fiscal year ending
December 81, 1884:
The expenses of the Territorial
Government for the past year have
been In excess of the revenue,
$$2299 5 Isl 70 the former being s118. 1913 :
IS, and the latter $s9, 27O O8. 1t is
highly probable that the expenses for
the present year will be considerably
larger than the revenue now pre-
vided for by law, hence, If the Terri
torv remains free from indebtedness,
IS it would appear advisable, some
provision should be made for an in
crease of the revenue. The balance
in the treasury on the 1st inst. was
SIS. 237. SO as against $50, 141.7 3 or the
same date in 1884. Warrants out
standing on the LIST inst. amounted to
81 ,555 SO.
To pay the accounts for support Of
the insane and cOnviCts in the peni-
Tertiary for the month of December,
1884, amounting to S., 1886. rs will leave
the treasury entirely destitute OF
funds.

A Liberal Offer.

Notwithstanding the low price OF
copper, Messrs. A. Fl. Headley and
John Ducie were offered by eastern
capitalists, a day or two since, $4,000
for the Adirondack mine, situate just
east of the Wild Bill lode. Suffice it
to say, the offer was refused, and YET
the mine is virtually only a prospect.
These men have faith, and are not
alarmed about the price of copper.

CHINESE FUNERAL.
The Butte City Celestials Introduce
Their Heather Rites and are As.
sisted by White Mong0lians.

We have SO much respect for q
Chinese funeral that We attended one
yesterday. We wished to be partic'
ular and explicit and hence put In q
personal appearance. The MINER
patrons and readers may place Gre
deuce In what we relate connected
with this affair.
Chung Wah Sin died.
If he didn't he ought 10 have done
so.
His past record, now on file with
the secretary, proves him to have
been a most excellent and exemplary
citizen-after death.
1t was his drst experience In this
role.
He knew he would soon turn loose
in the spirit land. HIS friends bought
another hog Of tender years, several
chickens, cakes, delicate Pastries and
many cups Of ready-made tea.
As 1t was to be u funeral, wherein
Chung Wah Sin was to take an i'm
portant part, he made further ar
rangemeDts for a concourse of white
people, untold punches of fine
crackers, q liberal display of white
and black mixed mourning, fire
works and six carriages from q first
class stable.
The virtue of this outfit, which we
endorse, Is the fact that all bills were
paid by the chief executor.
At q p. N. the Mongollans turned
loose.
The joss worshipping, heather
ceremonies were performed over the
dead and new converts barred out.
This was owing to the rise In copper.
The Chinese element did the grand
act as if the whole world were
gazing at them. The hogs, chickens
and other evidences of Chinese
led the procession. At the
grave a few simple rites were per-
formed. A memorial to the Montana
LEGISLATURE was drafted on the spot.
asking for relief from the presence OF
who might tell how the
spirit of heathenism was knocked
out of time by the sound, logical
and true faith of Christian
ity. +
The cooked food was left upon the
sod or snow, in hopes some heather
will appear herea ter and endeavor
to gather up the fragments of the
feast spread for his soul benefit. Had
Gov. Potts been present he would
have drafted another memorial to the
Legislature.
The friends of the man who wa
buried tell us that his bones will soon
be resurrected and shipped to China.
W. are not advised as to the sta
ton where the spirit stopped.
The funeral as . whole was al fait
and the white people present are per-
fectly willing to perform similar sell
viea.
Some of them who tarried assisted
getting away with the feast con-
,idering the task was too much for
me dead Chinaman to accomplish.

THE MINES.
The Chattanooga Bonded for $4,000.
The Rock Island Producing Better
Ore than Usual.
Beautiful Specimens from the Little
Daisy In Gallatin County.

The Chattanooga Is q fraction ad-
Joining the Pacific Slope Lode on the
west and the Gambrinus on the east.
The lead Is q continuation of the Gag
non. The property is owned by Robt.
McMinn, and was leased on Wednes-
day last to McNulty Il Co. for IL
months, one-fourth Of the ore ex-
tracted to 60 as royalty to the owner.
The mine was also bonded for eight
months for SIS 900 to the same
parties.
The main shaft Is down about 80
feet, another down As feet and one
about IA feet on a l2-foot vein of ore,
which assays about $19 or $40. The
gold product of ore. is about 81 per
ton, the balance IS silver and copper.
This $l9 assay is made from ore
taken In the face, through rock and
tale. The company will erect a new
steam hoist and begin at one the
sinking of q new double compart-
ment shaft. The very richest speci-
mems come from the mine, but 80 far
no sorting has taken place.
THE ROCK ISLAND
Is owned by Steward & Hickey and
has been prospected for some time.
The main shaft is down $50 feet.
From the 125 station drifts have been
run 80 feet east and west. At 125
feet the vein leaves the shaft and
pitches south. From the $50 foot
level a cross cut has been run IA feet
and ~intersected with a three foot vein
Of good ore. A 20 foot winze recently
sunk In west level shows the ore body
80 far as prospected from the foot wall
five feet wide but no hanging wall
has yet been reached. A regular
force Of men are employed taking out
ore and prosecuting development.
They use q whim and will sink to the
200 foot levels. The average assay of
r now being extracted shows 60
ounces Of silver. Much wire and
Da i've silver is found in the Veins
and valuable specimens reaching into
the thousands are often found.
THE LITTLE DAISY
owned by Mr.. H. A.. Kerns, of the
New World mining district, is turn
ing out some wonderfully rich gold,
silver and galena ore A tunnel has
been run in 80 feet and will be driven
to a full distance of 29O feet where it
will tap the main vein at a depth of
25O feet. Three blind leads have
been crossed in the 80 foot run, each
going from p to 4 feet in width and
carrying the richest OF ore. MIR.
Kerns showed considerable of the
ore yesterday and we find 1t
covered with free gold
which stands out prominently from
the face. Sulphurets and galena are
readily discerned. Brittle silver
and carbonate of iron is strOuRly
noticeable in many pieces. Mr.. K.
has struck three other leads In the
same vicinity and will open them all
in the spring. Every one who returns
from this new camp, whether sue
or unfortunate speak In the
highest terms of is splendid future.
