THE CHOICEST SPORTS.

From Sissons out in all directions are
walks and rides tull of enjoyment. To the
lovers of sport there are forests with deer
and bear and quail, while innumerable
streams offer to the fisher strings
of fairest trout For that one who
cares for no other pastime than to COM
mune With nature, these shady, pine
scented vistas, where he may wander at
win through the carpeted aisles, are open
for his worship. The ever-present dome Of
snow which rises heavenward in matchless
purity, lifts his soul nearer to its God, i'm
parting sense OF rest and divine benedic-
ton unknown to jewellers of the noisy
town. To have country home amid all
this beauty would be a realization of hap
piest dreams With these sparkling soda
springs, which pour in such volume from
the earth, one could forget champagne of
every label and quench thirst without fear
of headache to follow. While among
these scenes / enjoyed the most delightful

MINING PROPERTY

Never taxed, but the miner who intends to
sink shaft is given the right to de-
nouncen and appropriate his neighbors'
timber and water; and, should the latter
ungenerously object, the former has only
to apply to the Government, when his
wishes will at once be gratifed. The
richest districts now worked are Todos
Santos {" All Saints y, San Dimas, indie,
Guarisamey, Topia, Paritla- Mapimi, FL
Orc, Biramoa, TamasUla, Gavilanes, Guiana
ceyi, Papasyuiaro, Bojada and Caneias.
These are all silver bearing, and many are
immensely rich. Besides gold, silver and
iron, there is considerable copper, tin. lead,
sulphur, lime, plaster Paris marble and
alabaster to be found within the State. The
different ores are worked by the amalga-
nation, smelling and lixiviating processes
the latter being much less expensive.
American skill, capital and enterprise
are also aiding materially in other direc-
tons, and are constantly being invited by
the Government of this country, whose
people produce more than half the silver
mined on the globe.
There are several fourishing cotton fac
tories in Durango, most prominent among
which is that called 4" La Providence"
near the capital city, owned by Messrs.
Gazza Hermancs 81 Co. Every month it
turns out 10000 Kilograms of thread,
1000 pieces of unbleached cloth called
nlan,ta and 1900 pieces of printed calico.

IRON MOUNTAIN
Has long been speculated upon by geolo-
gists, who have variously computed the
amount and value of the ore il is capable
of producing. Probably the best authority
on the subject is Senior Fredrico Writner,
an eminent Mexican scientist, who has
written an important monograph on 1t.
He estimates that the pile contains not less
than 100000 tons and as il will aver
age not less than fifty per cent. of iron, the
quantity of metallic iron must exceed 125,-
100000 tons This, he adds, refers only to
the metal above the plain, while the
quantity beneath must be much greater
than that above. because that is always the
case in metallic mines of this class.
This mountain alone is enough to make
Durango the Pittsburg of Mexico. The

THE HEART AND HAND

We have been highly honored by a
copy of the Heart and Hand, monthly
paper published in the city of Chicago.
In perusing the Heart and Hand, we
came across the following advertisements
among the many who wish lady CORE
spondents with the view of matrimony:
II am "a years of age. and wish lady
correspondents aged between Is and 20.
Have brown hair and eyes and am feet
s inches in height. Will one of the fair
sex please favor me with a replyp Ad-
dress, Joseph Felenger, Helena, Mont.
Ty."
Joseph, it seems, would be satisfied to
have any of the fair sex reply; but the
next is more fastidious, he wants farm
ers daughter:
"a western stock raiser, aged 25, wish
IS to correspond with farmers daugh.
ter. The advertiser has dark hair and
ewes and is OF German descent. Object
matrimony. Address, I. Henry Line

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Frank EsIsr Leases the Union Pcihe Coal
Mines.

Frank Esler, the most extensive indi-
yidual stakeholder in the Bozeman coal
mine, has been given lease on the
mine by his associates, and on Monday
began extensive operations in getting
out coal and fixing the mine IN shape
after it has lain idle for two years. Fif-
teen miners have been employed to
work the mine and it is expected that a
larger crew will soon be required, as Mr..
Esler has already disposed of 400 tons of
coal to parties in Helena and Butte,
where coal is quite scarce this fall. He
expects also to supply the N. P. railroad
from time to time, and now that broad
gauge track runs to, Butte, and the rail-
road company has given him reason
able rate, he can pr, iitably supply GUS
toners from Miles City to Missoula.
This mine is owned by g. company COM
posed of Bozeman gentlemen and the
Union Pacific railroad company, the lat
ter corporation holding a majority of the
stock by four shares. During the time
it was in active operation, its product
was eagerly sought fer, but, owing to the
great activity of other mines, and close
competition with the Northern Pacific
mines, it was closed down. Now that it
is to be re-opened and worked, Bozeman
will also be the gamer
Mr.. Esler has employed a competent
superintendent at the mine, and will
himself remain in Helena and Butte, to
which points greater amount of this
coal will be shipped.

A SHOCK.
A Liv.ly sh.1s.up in the Na.lonal par1.

DR.. LaGarde Of Camp Sheridan, Nam
monh Hot Springs, Wyoming,) arrived
in town ON Wednesday and gave us the
particulars of the earthquake or similar
disturbance which was plainly felt in

morning, Nov 7th.
Several distinct and well-deined
shocks were felt throughout the entire
region. The commissions were plainly
felt in both the upper and lower basins
and at the falls. At Norris the windows
ratified and glassware and crockery were
violently shaken, and in some instances
broken. Hell's Half Acre gives indi-
cation of being the central point of agi-
tation. Several paaes Of glass were
broken In the Fire Hole hotel. and dish
es were shaken from the shelves to the
floor. It also had the effect of

to cause rumblings within it which still
continue. Additional demonstrations re-

Fire Hole are looked for, and Capt. Har-
ris has sent out party to take notice Of
anything further that may occur.

NYE PRECINCT.

We have always believed that there
was sonnet hing crooked about the estab-
lishment of Nye as voting precinct, at
a special meeting of the board of county
commissioners, when it should have
been done at regular meeting. The
fact that the petition was written in the
Office of the county clerk and recorder,
and the names thereon, about ten, writ
ten by one man, is of itself sufficient to
show that everything is not as it should
be. Then again, we have proof positive
that the man who secured the consent
of the commissioners TO open the polls
at Nye, is not a citizen of Montana, and
therefore not an elector.
With these facts and the sworn state
ment Of Jas. Robertson, civil engineer,
who made affidavit to the effect that the
mines were located upon the Crow resef-
walton; also the affidavit of Mr.. Smith,
who stated that he was at Nye on cleo
ton day, and that no polls were opened
there, or within ten miles of there. the
chairman of the Democratic central COM
mittee protested against the counting of
this vote The returning board brought
forward the testimony of Register Mon
roe and Engineer Deutsch, who testified
that, according to the plats, the Still
Uater mines were in Callatin county
and upon this and kilograms received
from Saltwater, the vote was counted.
In the meanwhile an eff TT will be made
to present the matter to the territorial
board of eanvassers for their considera-
ton, and It is not improbable that they
will, after celebrating upon the peculiar
manner in which the precinct was Or
ganized and the subsequent develop
ments, decide upon throwing out this
vote
