The Suffering Herds.

BozEMAN, Jan. 1.-Reports from
the stock ranges are of the most dis
couraging character. James Dedo-
wich, just arrived from Madison
county, says the snow Ii two feet
deep on a level, and the cattle are
actually starving to death. Similar
reports are brought in from the Ju-
dith and Yellowstone country. The
snow has fallen to q great depth, and
the absence Of any wind to carry it
away makes 1t next to impossible for
the cattle to get grass. Pilgrim cat
tie are far worse than natives. Many
fine herds will be completely anniht-
lated If this cold snap is repeated.

Montana Ut New Orleans.

. Speaking Of Montana's exhibit al

Orleans TSnaes-D Democrat OF the oath
inst. says: Commissioner John s.

has worked so arduously for the

to-day, and will return IN about three
weeks. The display made is a most
c%reditable n and will be noticed
by all who visit the government
building. The mineral wealth of the
Territory is fully represented, and
one fOrmes rather q fair idea of its
vast resources when n discovers
that even eight of the principle mines
in Butte City, alone, pay cut an
aggregate monthly pay roll of $685..
900. Every piece of ore displayed
represents q paying mine. Com
missioner Harris informs the reporter
that the product of the Territory for
this year, ut . conservative estimate,
is $23. 40, 900; this includes rich cop
per, silver and gold mines now beng
actively worked. It is estimated that
the mines within q radius of three
of Butte produced, during the
year 1884, more money than Arizona,
Nevada or California; more than
twice as much a. Utah; more than
Idaho and New Mexico combined,
and almost as much as Colorado. In

A Correction.
Editor MINER.

Editor MINER.
In your account of the funeral of
the late John Hauswirth you fell in
an error which in justice to the Lied
erkranz society should be corrected.
Mr.. Hauswirth has been an active
member of the Liederkranz society
since its organization in this city
and was highly appreciated and hon
ored by that body, and for that rea-
son the society, upon the morning
Of the funeral, took charge Of his 1e-
mains, and conveyed it 10 their hall
where funeral services were held in
accordance with customs. The four
Liederkrang pail bearers were as
sisted by two from each fire brigade.
The whole Of the imposing affair was
solely due TO the management of the
Liederkranz society.
