A Coming Bonanza.

One of the most promising proper ties in this district is the Uncle Sam mine, located about two miles south west 5f camp, and adjoining the State of Maine mine. It is owned by G. ". Bemenderfer, NJ. L. Calhoun and w. K. Meade. It is under lease to the Harris Brothers, who have been working it for some time, and taken from it several thousand dollars over and above expenses. The shaft is an inchne5 down which one can walk. and follows the ledgs all the way, the la ter lying almost in the form of blanket. The depth attained at pres ent is about 90 feet. The pay streak is about Is inches in width, and the one averages $250 per ton. Two ship nients of ten tons each have already been made by the lessees and another will follow early next month. A provision in the lease made to the Harris boys, provides that the owners shall have the pr1vi- legc of sinking shaft on the mine, aid they are now at work on one 5x7 feet, and distant from tic present
 
 shaft 240 feet. Owing to the fatness of the ledge, it is expected that they will strike it in about 30 feet. MT. Chas. Leach, foreman of the Grand Central mine, and one of the princi- pal owners of the State ofMaine mine adjoining, states that the Uncle Sam shows up much better than the State of Maine did with the same amount of work. For seven lonE years with pick in hand, George Bemenderfer has trudged over the hills of Arizona, liv- ing, to use the frontier exPtession, on "sow belly and beans," ever hoping and never tiring, in his search for the bonanza which every thoroughbred proSpect6r believes lie is entitled to, and present indications warrant the belief that he has at last struck it
 That such may prove the case his many friends sincerely hope,

He WouId'nt Bite.

A Montana paper tells the following
 good story, on couple of sharpers
 who tried to make 2 raise ont of {
 miner in that state. It says:
 "There is starpers game which
 has been played for the last hundred
 years, and, as the turning point is
 avarice, fhe game works forty-nin,
 times where it fails once. Two sharp CTS set out q few weeks ago to play it on a Butte City mining man. One of
 them came along one day and wanted to buy some mining claims. AS the mining man wanted to sell it was quite easy tu strike bargain. The price was to be $2,5O0 in cash and the sharper handed over S200 to bind the bargain. Within two days a sec ond stranger Ca sharper) came along and wanted the mining property. He wanted 1t sc bad he couldn't stand still. He found indications Of large body of ore. and he was willing to give $4,000 for the property. Tie idea was, of course, that the mining man would be awful sick of his first sale and seek to buy the man off; it would pay him to offer the man $600 or $70o to release him. The second stranger was only out of sight TheR the first one tdrned tip again. His modth wGtered orer the prospect, but not for long. The mining man ex- plained tbat he had been offered $I 300 more and added, but I don't care for nioney, the $2,509 is enough for me and its all the property is worth. When you are ready to pay the balance we will make out the pa pers.' The purchaser offered to re- lease Him for S75O, but the mining man didn't want to be released. He hung to the bargain money md he has it Yet, while the pair of mining sharks rave and gnash their teeth every time tiiey think of the thick ness of his skull and exclaim, there is sucker born every mi1ute.'

On Saturday. night at Il o'clock, John Forseck started to accomplish the feat of Walking one hundred miles in 24 hours, in the Elite Theater.

Tim Taft the proprietor of the stage line saw ten mounted In dians in that vicinity, and subsequent ly seven of them were seen by the station attendant, on a rocky ridge of mountain, net fir distant. Their be- ing mounted; as thescouts are all on foot; is an eyidence that they are rene gades. In addition to this, the fact that they took the water cans, used by Jimmy Carr's teamsters, to water their mules, and piling them up in a heap shot them fnll ot holes, gees to show that they must have Egen rene gades.

THE CLARK'S FORA HALLWAY.

Republican speakers, assisted by So
called Republican papers, rave asserted
that Hon. ]. K. Toole not tnly neglected
to push forward the ClarE's Fork rail-
way right-of.way in congre 50, but with
held the petitions sent hin, by the peo-
pie of this county. Let Us brand this
allegation as an infamous lie, AMI prove
by extracts from the reports of the
House and Senate committees that Mr..
Toole worked assiduously tGr the passage
of this bill, and in opposition of the
Northern Pacific railroad and several
senators. secured favorable report from
both committees; maxim. it almost sure
that the bill will pass wneM congress re-
conyenes.
From the exhaustive report made by
the House committee sc submit the con-
Guiding paragraphs. v nich are as follows
These views are confirmed by letters
from several other engineers familiar
with the country, all of whom concur in
saying there is no oTher practicable route
to reach the Clark's Fork mining district
except by way of the Yellowstone river.
Many letters, ;Aemorials, reports OF
public meetings, &c, have been submit
ted to the committee, showing an intense
interest Of the people in Southern MoU-
tana, and most earnestly praying that
the right of way through the Park be
granted for this road.
All these papers, and others not cited,
and the maps referred to, are in the
hands of the committee, and accessible
to all who desire to inspect them.
The committee believes the present
bill carefully guards the Park against
abuse, fully protects the public, and re-
quires the road to be built and running
within three years, or the right of way
granted shall be forfeited"
The report of the Senate committee is
even more exhaustive than that made
by the House committee, and among the
many favorable expressions made Of Mr..
Toole and the proposed route we take
the following
"Your committee have before them
a petition from 400 citizens of Montana,
another from eighty citizens, another
from forty citizens, together with letters
and affidavits from more than thirty cit
lzens acquainted with the country, sew
eral of them engineers, all testifying to
the fact that the route proposed In
this bill is the one desired and ex-
expected. and the only route practicable
to Cooke City for railroad. In conside-
ration of the abundant and strong testi-
mony in favor of this bill. your commit
tee agree with the other committees re-
porting this measure in the conclusion
that this bill, as amended, should pass,
and SO recommend"
We quote enough at this time to
prove that Mr., Toole has been wrongly
accused and shamefully maligned, with
the single view Of casting dis credit upon
his efforts.

A FlatterIng Notice.

The Bozeman CHRONICLE is just issuing
a pamphlet descriptive of Gallatin coun-
ty, its industries, resources, attractions,
rates Of wages, ETC., giving a vast amount
information for parties looking for homes
or investments in the west. The enter
prise is commendable one, and cannot
fail to result in additional population to
Gallatin county. The defect that we
observe is that its statistics of grain
growing are confined to oats. We firmly
believe that the Gallatin valley yields
more bushels of wheat to the acre than
and other portion Of this continent in
which much attention has been devot.
ed to the cultivation of cereals, and re.
liable statistics of the production of
wheat there would be valuable in adj
vertising not only Gallatin county, but
the entire territory, which contains
many other valleys capable of making
equally good returns under intelligent
cultivation. Nevertheless, the pamphlet
in question is valuable publication,
and credit to the CHRONICLE Gazette.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Western cattle dealers are fighting the
pleuro-pneumonia plague among theil
live stock. Pleuro pneumonia il one ofthe
worst diseases thai can attack cattle.
Farmers in this section know what the
plague is but happily they have never
suffered the losses which are now the lot
Of their western neighbors Chicago
cattle-yards appear to be the center OF
the present plague-stricken district. 1t
is said that about three thousand head
of cattle are effected with pleuro- pneu-
monia and that the disease originated
through the feeding of garbage. What
ever nay be the cause Of the disease it
is deadly one and thousands Of dollars
are being lost by it. 1t may or it may
not come West but farmers Of this section
should be on their guard and upon the
first signs of it breaking out among their
cattle strict quarantine should be in
sisted upon. Cattle from the infected
districts should be placed in quarantine
unless a clean bin Of health can be pro-
duced by the dealers. The latter should
be most careful in making their selec-
lions Of cattle for the Eastern markets
50 as not TO introduce pleuro- pneumonia
here. The fact, is thought, that The
disease has already manifested itself in
some sections Of the.West and the most
vigorous methods should be adapted to
stamp it ont before It spreds to any con-
siderable extent.
