Parties who have been in town this week,
after riding over the ranges between the Vel
lowstone and the Musselshell, report that
the cattle are in good condition, the late
mild weather having given them good
start and placed them in good condition to
weather the inevitable spring storms. On
Thursday night and yesterday morning there
was heavy fall of snow, but it has since
been rapidly disappearing, and as it was not
accompanied by cold, the cattle did not suffer
any.-BHiings Herald, tn.

between the two arteries, making a wound
about eight inches long, which, though pain
full, is not serisus-Gtendiue Times
On Sunday afternoon long freight train
was crossing the Belt divide eastward. Four
teen cars next the engine were supplied with
air brakes. AS the train was pulling through
the tunnel it broke in two parts, but the mo-
mentum of the rear section was sufficient to
carry it over the crown of the divide, which
is about the middle of the tunnel. The engi-
neer then began applying the air brakes to
the front section, and just as the rear section
cleared the mouth of the tunnel, brought the
engine to a dead stop. The rear section then
crashed into the stationary half of the train,
and seven cars went off the track. Five of
them were quite badly wrecked, one of them
loaded with matte from Butte. Both pas
sepger trains were held by the wreck until
late in the evening.-Townsend Trenchdnt.
Samuel +. Haussr says that IL silver coin
age stops the whole Western country will be
ruined. 1t will not alone be the silver in
terest that will be injured. Silver mined
with copper enables us to furnish copper ut
the present low price without loss; if silver
were deprecated we could not do that. So
it is with lead. 1t would also effect the gold
production of the country, and reduce it
fully one-third There is at least SIC, 00O, 900
of gold that is taken out with silver annu-
ally. Four-fiftbs of all the silver mines
would be obliged to stop, and not less than
500, 900, 900 of business would be destroyed.
There is no chance that anything will be
done about it in Congress, but the discussion
has knocked silver down to SIG per OF. from
s11O 1t will 60 below 81 if the coinage
should be stopped
