The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-05-30

Two new minerals have recently been
added to mincralogy. They have been dis
covered in the Zuni mine, near Silverton,
Colorado. and in the last published pro-
ceedings OF the Colorado Scientific Society
W. +. Hildrbrand, Phi. d., Chemist United
States Geological survey, contributes a
complete analysis Of the ores. He mas
named them zunyite and guitermanite-
the one in honor OF the Zuni mine and the
other of Franklin Guiterman, the discov-
erer of both metals. Mr.. Guiterman, in
reference to the occurrence of zunyite in
the Zuni mine, mentioned that there
seemed to be no Indication Of il assure
vein, but that the ore seemed to occur in
a pipe vein. The ore is a heavy lead carry
ing arsenic and silver, and much altered at
the surface. OF guitermanite he said it was
found in Il fissure vein, four feet wide, OF
which the gauge is felspar and barite. In
the Brobdignag mine, Red mountain, occurs
a massive iron gray mineral, with a greasy
metallic ~ltlster, without crystalline struc-
ture, but to all appearance OF complete
homogeneity, which, upon analysis was
found to be an argentiferous zickenite, this
being, it is believed, the first occurrence OBJ
served in the United States.

Mn. SAMUELs, proprietor OF the Vest
Shore, a m~eritorious publication OF Port
land, is in the city, with a staff of artists.
He has been making some beautiful pictures
OF the Court House, private residences,
mines and other places OF interest. These
drawings are superior to photographs and
will be a credit to Butte. Mr.. Samuels says
that he never visited a place that offered
so many fine opportunities for the artists.
He could easily issue a sixteen page edition
IN Butte alone; yet only three years ago he
found difficulty in securing subjects for a
small edition. He is astounded with the
progress that Butte has made. There is
nothing cheap and nasty about the work
lone by the Vest Shore. 1t is neat and
clean and always readable. The pictures
are not paid for and the most beautiful and
valuable buildings andimportant industries
thus neglected or left out of the issue en-
tirely. The Vest Shore is conducted on
true business principles, depends upon its
merits for success and THE MINER can
heartily commend Mr.. Samuels to our
paor,1n

THE brewers meeting in New York causes
the Sun to beam graciously upon the fra
~ternity and to speak somewhat enthusiast
tically on the substitution OF beer as a bev-
erage for strong liquors. Yet, in it's usually
vicious way, it must have a sting to it's
generally %laudatory editorial; but, also as
usual, this sting carries with it more or less
justice. The Sun says: But it cannot be
denied that very much of the lager beer
manufactured is not what it ought to be.
1t is true that no better beer than that pro-
duced by some OF our breweries is made
anywhere in the world, but they are excep-
tions. The average beer sent out may not
be absolutely noxions. but is likely to be
adulterated in various ways, so that it is
not the wholesome beverage genuine lager
bccris for most constitutions. The emand
has increased so rapidly that the beer is
made in too great haste, and the competi-
ton as to price has tempted brewers to Use
all sorts OF devices to lessen the cost Of
manufacture at the expense of the honesty
OF their product"

Written for H MINER.
Under waving boughs we meet, thinking,
noble boys OF you,
And the bright and happy homes you left
for war,
And the tears, they fill our eyes, spite of all
that we can do,
AS we think OF dreary firesides light before.
Peace, Peace, Peace. the boys are resting.
Cheer up wives and mothers true,
In their silent graves they lie, waiting
from on high,
Ere they meet their friends and loved
ones all once more.
On this lovely day in May, fragrant flowers
we offer here,
To show honor to Our loyal soldiers,
brave,
And we think, with tender sigh, Of our lost
ones, still so dear,
Though the flag floats proud and free
they fought to save.
AS we stand with reverent feet where our
hOnOrcd dead are laid,
Words Of inspiration fire our heart and
brain,
And the music, soft and rare, floats DER
every hill and glade,
While the birds and breeze chant sweetly
DER he slam. DEL.

EMPEROR WILLIAM of Germany is very
i'll. He is an old man, verging upon four
score wears and ten. In the very nature of
things he will soon have to pay the debt
that all mankind owes to nature, and any
physical disturbance must be looked upon
with alarm at all time. The Emperor has
had an eventful career, and leaves the i'm
press Of his character upon the age. But
he owes much to his premier. Bismarck,
who has been the firm and steadfast cham
pion of German unification. The ''power
behind the throne in Germany is likely to
outlive the throne itself in history.

TIE Missoula County Times calls atten-
ton to the fact that under the present sys-
tenn of railroads in Montana the farmers
are effectually shut out from the principal
market in the Territory. which is Butte.
It says the long trains OF the Utah 4 North
ern Railway laden with the products OF the
Mormon Empire steaming Northward and
unloading their cargoes in the city OF Butte
is a spectacle not calculated to inspire a
feeling of faith, hope and happiness in the
hearts of Montana's yeomanry. 1t says
this circumstance encourages Il part
of the farmers of Utah to pillow, SOW and
reap, to plant, cultivate and. dig, for they
know that Butte is their market, not by
right, but because they have what no
other community enjoys-direct railway
communication. Thus Butte is compelled
to assist in the development and upbuild-
ing OF Utah without getting in return one
cent for it, and without receiving any adj
vantage by it. Because of Butte's pros
perity the Mormons are enabled to sell
moretruck and for IA better price and enjoy
a few more wives than they otherwise
would. While this is SO the Times says the
rich and fertile valleys OF Montana are
hushed with the blighting lethargy OF isola-
ton; that if Missoula county could
have as direct communication with Butte
as Utah, a trade would be developed that
would give animpetusto its settlement and
development and many more dollars in the
pockets of her agriculturists; not only
this, but Butte would reap a certain adj
vantage, for, while the Utah Mormons are
selling to Butte, they buy nothing in return.
If the people of Missoula county could sell
their products here, the Times thinks that
her people would in turn become IL pa
irons. The article shows that while
oats are worth but s~eventy-five tents
per hundred pounds in Missoula,
they are worth $1.75 in Butte. The
Times is anxious for a railroad from
Butte into the Bitter Root Valley, a road
that will tear down the mountain barrier
that separates Butte from those to whom
her people would naturally give their pat
ronage. That the people Of Butte would
prefer to %patronize the farmers of Montana
and thus help to develop the IL Of
our Territory rather than to pay tribute
to- Mormonism goes without saying. II our
friends to the west OF us can put this rail-
road scheme into tangible shape they may
depend upon the active sympathy and CO.
operation of the capitalists OF the Silver

JUDGE KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, better
known as 'Pig Iron Kelley will write a
reply to General McClellan's Century arti-
Gle on the Potomac campaign. Mr.. Kelley
knows more about the tariff than he does
about military science, but he is pretty
well informed upon the military movements
OF the war and especially SO upon the polit-
ical history OF the war. He was Il member
OF the House Committee on Military affairs
and for a season it's Chairman, and at all

istration between 81 and 90. His article

THE SEMI-W WEEKLY MINER is one Of the
largest and most readable newspapers in
Montana. 1t is a complete reflex OF the
activity of this camp and OF Montana.
Those who do not find it convenient to
take a daily paper should send for a sam

paper for the family, for the cattle man,
for the miner and for those who want to be
posted on current events and are fond OF
honest and unbiased comment.
