In these days of q new administration and
Of many newspapers In Montana, there are
so many loose rumors of official changes
that . country newspaper can scarcely re-
cord them. One that we have noticed, end
knew was without his sanction, was that
Thomas L. Napton, Esq, would probably
at IN early day succeed Judge Galbraith as
Associate Justice for this Judicial District.
The currency of the rumor has led Napton
to address the following note TO q prominent
Democratic paper:
DEER LODGE, Mont, Aug. 10, 1885.
To the Butte Miner: As have not been
and will not be an applicant for the appoint
ment TO any judicial or other Federal posi-
ton in Montana, / desire the press TO know,
what is already generally known to The
members Of the bar of Montana, that
though made. This may seem exceptionally
premature on my part, but assure you that
IL is prompted from the best of motives. l
thank you and the press generally for the
favorable and complimentary mention Of
my name In connection with my supposed
application or candidacy for so honorable .
position as that Of Judge.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS l.. NAPToN.
The above Is very creditsble to the gentle
man who wrote 1t. There Is probably no
man In Montana better qualified than Mr..
Nspton by judicial mind, thorough training,
legal experience and integrity, to be JUS
tice Of this Territory, or of the State 1t will
become. But Mr.. Nspton Is comparatively
a young man, and can well afford to wait
more mature years before he sacrifices the
advantages of IN advocate and much larger
increase for the sedate honors and the mea-
gre salary Of judgeship. Beside, there Is
no good reason In the world why Judge Gal
braith should be superseded until his term
expires or he voluntarily resigns. He is
able, honest and experienced, and the judi
c.ary should be above the caprices Of politi-
cal change. We believe 1t would be pub
lie calamity IL Judge Galbraith should be
removed, and II we can read between the
lines, this sentiment Is Is apparent In Mr..
Napton's letter Is ls the otLer, that, while
appreciating the good will Of the people, he
does not wish his name plsced in the list Of
office-seekers. aE-

IN A LUNATIC ASYLUM
For Twenty-seven Years Because of Extrava-
CANT Tastes.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14.-Miss Adrianna
Physick Brinckle has just been released from
the State lunatic asylum, where she has
been confined for twenty seven years on the
extraordinary charge of "extravagance and
eccentricity." She Is the daughter of the
late DR.. VIM. Draper Brinckle, physician
who had large practice and moved in the
highest circles of society here thirty years
ago. Miss Brinckle was au acknowledged
belle, q woman of great beauty and accom-
plishments, and popular favorite. She was
extremely extravagant, but an unfortunate
change in the financial condition of her
father made 1t impossible for him to pay her
bills, as he had always done before. Adri-
anna was unable to control her
ExTRAvAGANT TASTES,
and without knowing anything Of the law In
such cases, ordered piano and set of fur
nlture, which she sold before paying for
them. This proceeding scandalized the set
to which the Brinckles belonged, and, as It
was staLed at the time, "to save the family
honor" Miss Brinckle was sent to an asy lum,
entering the institution In July, 1858. When
the Twelfth National Conference of Chart
ties and Corrections met in Washington last
June, one of the delegates made the follow
ing statement:
"a beautiful and young lady, used 10
wealth, Is extravagant, and her father, re-
duced in circumstances, finds himself unable
to restrain her habit of spending, concludes
she requires custodian, places her in
hospital, regardless of her earnest protests;
he dies and leaves her there. There she has
been nearly thirty years, and is now nearly
sixty years of age and still begging TO be re-
leased, but the custodian still thinks she
needs custodian's care, and she remains to
this date under the restraint Of her personal
liberty"
THIS LED TO AN INVESTIGATION,
and Miss Brinckls was visited at the State
lunatic asylum at Harrisburg, and COM
mittee reported that there was no evidence
Of insanity in her case, but still no release,
and the unfortunate woman almost aban-
doned hope. Representatives of the State
Committee on Lunscy visited her, however.
Then the order came and she was sent out .
free woman. Upon her arrival in thio city
she was taken to q convalescent's retreat
near Glen Mills, where she Is being tenderly
cared for. Miss Brinckle is now gray
haired woman of 60, In full possession Of all
her faculties, and In good bodily health.

SHEEP MINING.
The Golden Fleece not Repeated rs Fable, but
as Newspaper Fact, in Montana.
From the Neao York Times.

From the Ne,o York Times.
A local sheep raiser has lately discovered
that the wool of his sheep Is very rich In
gold, and 1t is now thought that sheep min
ing will become the most profitable industry
in the Territory.
A man who owns thousand sheep aver
aging forty ounces of gold to the sheep has
. bonanza. Unlike the ordinary mining
bonanza, the sheep bonanza will be practi-
cally inexhaustible. Sheep breed rapidly,
and man can increase his flock almost as
easily as he can water the stock Of silver
mine, and with much more profit. His
mines, so 10 speak, will double In number
at least every year, and the number of his
gold yielding sheep will be limited only BY
the extent of mis- pasture land.
The sheep mine Is far easier to work than
Is any other mine. The miner does not
have to sink a shaft or to drive tunnel in
his sheep. He simply cuts of the wool-s
process easier than surface mining in the
best days of early California gold bunting
and separates the gold and the wool. This
may be..done. either b. smelling the wool in
bonfire or by mixing it with mercury. Ii
the latter place the gold amalgamates with
the mercury, and the wool is left as resi-
dunn. The mercury is afterward driven of
by heat, and as q result the miner has both
his gold and his wool.
How the gold gets into the wool of the
Montana sheep is a problem. There is 8
theory that the sheep in cropping grass take
q certain amount of gold bearing earth inte
their mouths, and that the gold afterwart
exudes from the pores and is caught by The
wool. There Is, however, no reason to sup
pose that gold taken into the stomach will
find its way out through the pores. If thi
were the case, there can be no doubt tina
gold would be largely consumed by girl
anxious to dye their hair easily and perma
nently. Then there is the theory that tn
gold in the wool of the sheep has been de
posted there in the same way that gold ha
been deposited In the strata of the earth. /
Is needless to say that this theory is he'll
only by persons who derive their idea of tn
longevity of sheep from the spring lamb o
boarding houses. The Montana sheep doe
not live through long geological periods
and hence gold is not deposited in its woo
by the same process by which it is deposite
in the rocks.
The simplest explanation of the matter is
that sheep roll on ground impregnated wit
gold dust, and thus fill their wool with gold
However this may be, there can be no doub
that gold. bearing sheep are desirable ami
mails, and that Montana Is lucky in possess
| ing them.
