mill they are working full force, treating
their own quartz,
John Carhart has leased his property to
Marshall & Co., who are working it for all
it is worth. They are considerably troubled
with water in one OF the main leads, and
will soon secure pump to obviate the
difficulty.
Mr.. Hayes has purchased the Mead
Watson furnace, and has a gang of men al
work clearing the ground for additions. II
is probable they will add a sampling works
to the outfit. Mr.. Hayes is at present
shipping his first-class ore to Argenta and
is doing well.
Michael Herr is sshipping his ore to Omaha
and is lucky in receiving returns which
show that the best of it pans out 50, 700 to

Frank Sayres and William Rowe, who are
working the Delmonte, have not as yet
shipped any ore, but they are exceedingly
well pleased with the prospects.
Lawrence Brown is daily shipping ore
from the New Departure to Omaha. His
own teams take the quartz to the depot
and the last four car loads will net $1O, 900
Captain Karn, Chase Bros and Mr.
Beims have now on hand overfour hundred
sacks OF ore to be shipped to the Argenta
furnace. Their mine is on the banks o
Grasshopper creek about ten miles from
Bannack.
Doctor Mead is working in the immediate

Park Management.

From the Livingston Ente prise.
With the appointment of a new Superin.
tendent of the Park, it is probable that
marked charges will be inaugurated in the
management OF that wonderful niche OF
Uncle Sans domain. It is almost certain
that there will be large number of changes
among the ten Assistant Superintendent
changes that have long been necessary. The
new men should be chosen from among the
mountaineers OF the country adjoining the
Park-men to whom life in the mountains
is pleasure, and who areimbued with such
a love OF natural objects as would lead
them of their own volition and without Or
ders from their superiors to protect objects
of beauty and marvel from vandal hands.
Such men should receive salaries commen-
surate with their services, or that would
insure good service. Nine hundred dollars
per annum is the present salary attached
to the office OF Assistant Superintendent.
Quarters are provided by the de-
partment, but no other provision for
living is made. The Assistant Super
intendents are or should be expected to
constantly use their utmost endeavors to
protect the Park, to keep the game within
its borders nnn1nlosted t0 nreront thought-
less or wilful hands from defacing the es-
pecial objects that give the Park it's peculiar
character, to repel trespassers, to render
all the aid and protection in their power to
tourists, in short to carry out the letter
and spirit of the law which ordained that
the Park be reserved as "a pleasure ground
for the benefit and enjoyment OF the people"
There is nothing very romantic or enticing
about service in the Park except to man
accustomed to such life. constant
sojourn in land where the year is COM
posed of ''nine months winter and three
months late in the fall'' must certainly en-
tail much hardship and labor if the duties
OF the position are efficiently and conscl-
entiousiy discharged. To ensure such eff
cheney an adequate salary such as men in this
country are accustomed to earn flor labor
and exposure, should be allowed-$1, 800
per wear at least. Another desirable pro-
vision is that more power over his assist
ants be conferred upon the Superintendent.
They should know that disobedience or
opposition to his directions may lead to
immediate suspension from duty and pos
sible discharge The lack OF such power in
the Superintendent has led to trouble in
the past and will have the same effect in
the future Lastly, the Park should be
erected into separate judicial district or
shauld be attached to some district to
reach whose centre does not require
thousand miles or more of travel. Ii
Senator Vest has constituted himself the
guardian angel of the Park he should turn
his attention to all the details OF its man.

The Atlantic Tidal Wave.

New York Tribune.
No explanation has been attempted OF
the origin of the great wave which on the
5th OF April nearly swamped the "Ger-
manic" and which was encountered by
several other vessels with disastrous re-
suits to themselves. Although heavy gale
was blowing, it does not seem that this
enormous wave can be absorbed, to the
action of the wind. Judging from Ethe
severl descriptions OF it which have been
published, it was more like an. earthquake
wave, but so far as known no serious out,
break occurred at that time. 1t is described
as a wall of water, as high as the tops OF a
large sailing vessel. That would make it
more than twice the height OF an Atlantic
wave in a gale OF wind, and would take it
out OF the category OF ordinary waves
altogether It is to be wished that scientific
men would look into the case, and ascertain
whether there is any ground for connecting
this marine phenomenon with volcanic or
seismic disturbance at a distance.

The Iron Workers Strike.

PITrsBURc, June 2.-The iron strike situ-
alton remains unchanged. No signatures
to the scale have been obtained since yes
terday and both sides are anxiously await
ing developments. Joseph D. Weeks Sec
retary OF the manufacturers, was in receipt
of telegrams from the iron centers OF the
country. At l O'Clock he reported no
further move by the manufacturers outside
of Pittsburg At Youngstown the contest is
more exciting than in Pittsburg. All the
mills there and throughout the Mahoning
valley, with the exception of one at Sharon
are closed. The manufacturers send word
that the will not sign the present scale,
while on the other hand the workmen OF
that section remain firm. Notwithstanding
the reports those directly interested believe
the strike will be of short duration.

Hauser'S Candidacy.
From the Livingston Enterprise.

From the Livingston EntefpfIse'
The Enterprise is firmly OF the opinion
that the dispatch regarding the Governor
ship of Montana, published elsewhere, EN-
bodies an error. We do not believe that
Hon. S. T. Hauser ever wrote letter
avowing his candidacy for the office. HAD
he avowed his candidacy and used any ef-
fort on his own part we believe he would
have been Governor of Montana to-day.
The fact that he was unwilling to permit
the use of his name and would not make
any expression of desire for the office is
what has handicapped the canvass in his
favor. Tt was only in response to persist
ent urging that he permitted the use Of his
name or refrained from withdrawing it ab-
solutely from any connection with the

A Horrid Chinaman.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 3.-Sam Lang,
an aged Chinaman, called at Charley Loves
saloon at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
had glass OF beer and refused to pay for
it on the ground that Loves son, Allie,
owed him for laundry work. An alterca-
ton ensued, and the Chinaman was pushed
out. He turned and broke vile compound
in Allie Loves face. The latter was taken
sick in less than two minutes with convul-
sions. A canvasser OF rubber stamps hap
pened in and saw the trouble, and at once
procured an antidote, which undoubtedly
saved the life OF the young man, though he
is still very weak and the pupils OF his eyes
are distended in size. Two doctors were
called, and said they would not have known
what antidote to have given. Sam Lang
was arrested on the charge OF assault with
intent to kill The fumes made every one
in the room sick The composition OF the
poison is known only to Chinese and Japa-
nese religionists.
