At Philipsburg, on the 9th inst,
James Patten, the lessee Of the Speck-
led Trout mlne, while stretched out on
the ore dump lazily and satisfactorily
viewing pile If sacked ore, many dol
lars in value, had his attention mo-

placing it out Of danger, he ran back to
the trap in the man-way Of the three

into the lower working
levels. At the 2Jo-foot station two men
were at work. Bidding them to come
out at once, he started back with them
up the shaft. Through dense black
smoke the almost smothered men
pushed their way. Once Or twice the
men halted, thinking it safer to remain

M0RTuARY MATTERS.


To those who have taste for the
curious in mortuary matters, the fol-
lowing facts, collated by the Detroi,
Free Press, will prove interesting
Hayes is now the only person living
elected-we use the word by way oi
courtesy and convenience-to the Of
fce OF president. As persons chosen
to that Office are usually advanced in
life, it is not surprising that the num-
Der of ex presidents alive at any one
period has never exceeded four. The
youngest was General Grant, elected
at the age of forty seven. At the be-
ginning Of John Quincy Adams term
John Adams, Jefferson, Monroe and
Madison were still alive, but on the
4,h Of July following Adams and Jef
ferson both died, leaving only two ex
presidents alive. During Jackson's
first term there were three alive. but
at the end of his second term only
one. AT the beginning of Polk's term
there were three alive-Adams, Jack
son and Van Buren,. At the begin
ming of Taylor's. Jackson had died
leaving Polk and Van Buren, still alive.
In Pierce's term only Van Buren, was
still alive. At the beginning of Lin
coins there were again three-Van
Buren,, Pierce and Buchanan. At the
of Grants there were none
alive and only two at the beginning of
Garfeld's.
OF the twenty-one presidents or
vice-presidents who have become presi-
dents, seven, including Grant, have
died in July--three of them, Adams,
Jefferson and Monroe on the 4th of
that month, while Garfield was shot in
July. Four of them have died in
June, thus proving the debilitating
effect Of hot weather upon old and
feeble persons, nearly all of them be-
ing over seventy years of age, one
over ninety and three of them eighty
years and over. Polk was the young
est-fifty-four-who died from natural
causes; Lincoln being fifty six and
Garliell fifty when they were taken off
by violence.

1t is reported that C. A. Broadwatcr
Il Co. have purchased the st. Julian
mine, Neihart district, and are putting
men to work.
The Parrot mine, Butte, is producing
$50 tons Of copper ore daily that aver
ages in value IL per cent copper. II
is estimated this company will produce
this year 15,OOO,OOO pounds of pure
copper.

ledge to be forty feet between walls.
Last year an average Of 100 tons per
day were mined. The working force is
to be increased at once.
The capacity Of the Anaconda smell

the world, is to be doubled. II will

Gale, Webb West. II. o. Harris and
another man joined the party and
taking the trail found the Indians in
camp on Pole creek, Musselshell val
ley, where they were prepared to fight
having thrown up breastworks on a
butte that commanded view of the
surrounding country for miles. The
white party, the Billings Gazette says,
were cited by the Piegans when about
a mile off, and the latter probably took
the cowmen for Crows, as they started
preparations for a fight, but discover
ing their mistake they beat hasty re-
treat, leaving behind them saddles
moccasins, hats, soap and combs.
Some Of them had been bathing and
dressing their hair, when surprised.
They had killed beef but had not
had time to skin it.
The persuit commenced in earnest.
The whites ran the Indians from their
camp to Cameron creek corral. about
ten miles, then headed them off in a
south westerly direction to Current
creek, within ten miles of I.avina;
there they made fight and about
fifty shots were exchanged on the run.
The Indians, who numbered about
ten, had about 60 or IS horses, and
kept dropping out the slowest. 1t was
getting so dark it was impossible to
tell whether the bullets told on them
or not. One Indian was seen to drop
out Of the band, and shortly after his
horse was seen to join the band rider
less. He was probably badly wounded
and hid. There were no casualties
among the whites though the bullets
whistled unpleasantly near.
As night came on and their horses
were completely plaid out with the
long, stern chase, and they found it
impossible to come up with the Pie
gans, the pursuit was discontinued
near Roberts creek. The Indians
kept on and got safely through the
Judith Gap, and are no doubt back on
their reservation. The citizens will be
for the next raid and will
give the Piegans a warm welcome.
