The clearance sale Of E. L. Bonner

Notwithstanding the storm. Yester-
day was n of the best days they
have had since. opening the sale. In
beginning the sale they were deter
mined to give such bargains ss would
induce people to buy and In this they
have certainly succeeded. They did
not star: In by q sham sale, and then
be forced to announce a second reduc-
ton in clearing.sale prices, but
marked their goods 80 low in the first
place that their prices are still far be-
low those of any other house.
E. L.. Bonner & Co. completely ig-
more the silly bosh and school boy
vaporings of their 1ounderlng CON-
petitors. All goods offered duriog
their sale are Of the best quality AID
not trash bought in anticipation OF
low prices and during the past season
carried in peddling wagons amorg
the ranches of Montana. No special
leaders are offered, as ali lines Of
goods are equally cheap. Bargains
are guaranteed in every department
in the house. The sale lasts only
for the time advertised. The pubic
will therefore avail themselve Of the
opportunity before it is too late.

And the Great Dads Of Butte Return
the Compliment by Issuing q
Stringent Order.

Reported Specially for The MINER.
Last night the city council of Butte
met at the usual place.. The major
portion of them were present.
Judge Wilcox was also there.
The city clerk was there also.
At least the MINER reporter thinks
SO, but has no positive evidence from
any manuscript handed in.
The council gave orders to the City
Marshal to enforce ordinance Nc. %.
If the dear public will, consult the
book of ordinances they will I'LL.
derstand the meaning and import
ance of the order.
The council allowed several bills
never before presented, Without hav-
ing wrung from the hearts of indi-
vidual members, teas of regret.
A Eew ordinance, providing that
all teams not belonging to owners or
business men, should no longer stand
idle upon the streets in front Of Lusl-
ness houses.
This ordinance will tickle the car
riage and express men so much they
will reduce tneir rates, draw custom,
etc, etc.
The council also ordered that all
furniture belonging to Butte be taken
to the new city building on West
Park street.
Judge Wilcox, police mag strate of
Butte, entered a protest.
The council still maintained their
Arm dete. mination to stand by the
first resolution.

nevertheless got there with q deter

authorizing the right to move city

cannot move him. The end ia no

THE MINES.
A Half Interest In the Wild Bill
Sold. .
Nattering Reports from Several Min.
Ing Properties.

The Wild Bill continues to improve
as further devel 'pment progresses
The new body of ore reported struck
two weeks since, bas opened out
from four feet to fifteen feet in width
and no further wall found as yet.
The men are working In the Slopes
and continue raising valuable ore,
which goes 26 ounces in silver and
from 20 to 80 per cent in copper. Mr..
Jere Roach, who owned q half inter-
eat, has sold 1t for $40, 900. His inter
est was under bond and was tax en-
without a question as to the value of
the mine. The property can be re-
bonded to-day for $125,0OO.
THE GREY EAGLE,
Owned by Dsnnis Leary, and now
under bond for $4,000 to Quinn T.
Fletcher, is panning out we'll The
bondors are also the ~lessees for q term
of Is months. In starting work on
an 8-foot vein these men intended to
follow the incline, but changed to the
perpendicular. In sinking the shaft
to- depth Of AZ foot three new strata
were cut. At 20 feet the shaft passed
through = 3-feet vein of ore, which
averaged Is ounces in silver. At 30
feet q 2-foct vein CT rock, which
averages still better. At 40 foot the
forth strata 2 feet wide was passed
through. At a depth of SO feat the
workmen will begin cross cutting to
catch the main vein, and expect to
get it, In a run of 18 feet. This vein,
on top, shows IL Fer cent. of copper
and 20 in silver. The ore in last
strata crossed has not been assayed.
Another new strike is reported in
the Neptune mine. Some of the ore
Is on exhibition and appears to be
loaded with native and wire silver.
THE RICK ISLAND.
Since the MINERS last report q
cross cut has been run from the main
shaft at the 100 foot level, a distance
Of II feet south, where a large body
of rich ore was encountered. A level
was started and run Is feet west,
when another cross cut was run for
IL feet into the main ore body, which
Is all very rich, the whole face going
So ounces. The workmen viii! con-
tinue to work in those connections
which will facilitate the extraction
of large bodies of ore. The promises
of the mine are far better than aver
before. The shots in the Lexington
mine are distinctly heard in the levels
of the Rock Island and the fact of the
main vein Of both mines being one
and the same is established beyond
dispute.
FROM GLENDALE.
In the Hecla mines work is going
day and night with a large force

Aside from this from so to Is |
tons of second class ore Is hoisted
