A GRAND ENTERPRISE.
A $4,000, 900 Stock Mining Company
Formed to Work the Marys.
vile Mines.

Within the past few days the Worttrich
Mining Company, with a capital stock Of
s., 200, 900, consisting Of 100000 non.
assessable shares at $50 each, was incor-
porated in Helena to work and develop
the mines near Marysville discovered by
w. L. Worttrich, and said to be unusually
rich and extensive.
The company consists OF Henry Klein.
president, T. H. Kleinschmidt. secretary,
and L. Worttrich, who discovered the
mines and others. The mine intended to
be worked is an extension of the celebrated
Drum Lummon and is described asia quartz
vein about thirty feet wide. lying in con-
tact with granite and slate formation and
carrying gold and silver that will aggregate
about $50 per ton. 1t is considered
magnificent property and the success Of
the enterprise and the good fortune of the
Helena parties taking hold of it is beyond
doubt. The property is comparatively
undeveloped, having but 5O-foot shaft
and several hundred feet of tunnelhng. per-
formed by the discoverer, but the ledge is
of unmistakable frmness and continue
tion."
Another new company is the Rapid Tran
sit. gotten up by the same man, Mr.. Wort
trich, to work the mine that bears the Same
name and lying west of the Drum Lummon.
The company consists of NJ. Sands, presi-
dent, G. 8. Cross, secretary Mr.. Worttrich
and others. All these properties are OF
similar character and bid fair to prove
bOnanzas.

Equals a Fish.

The dream of Jules Verne, the novelist,
is already realized, and the Twenty Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea" seems but a
prophecy soon to be fulfilled. The trial OF
the new war boat, "Peacemaker," at the
mouth of the Hudson river the other day,
was a success. This boat is fashioned and
shaped much the same as Verne's "Nau-
titus" is made of iron, and carries but two
or three men. She darts through the wa
ter like fish, gides under the biggest ships,
tilts downward and skins along the bot
tom of the sea. a perfect iron fish. Her in
ventions will doubtless revolutionize the
present idea OF Strengthening our coast de-
fences, as with her a few daring men could
glide unseen up to the finest man OF war in
the English navy, fasten a torpedo to her.

Alderman Loeber, who has 20 years prac-
tical life in q mining country, declares that
he considers this section destined to be-
come great mining camp. The formation
is slate, not granite as here in Butte, but
the ore is rich. The terminus of the rail-
road that takes the great quantities of
freight from the Mission and other depo,
points up to this mining section, is about
II miles from town. The people are
and hope, and while the location
is not what it might be-being narrow and
confined between two high mountains-yet
there is bright future for Wardner. The
town is only some eight months old, and
has almost 'sprung up in q night" The
railroad starts at Mission steamboat land
ing, and runs up, bearing Northern Pacific
freights in great quantities to the interior.
Real estate is very high, and yet rents are
low. showing not only the faith the owners
have in the future of the town, but rare
good sense of inducing business men to
come, and not frightening them off by ex-
orbitant charges for houses to do business
in.
OF Spokane Falls Alderman Loeber
spoke in high terms, declaring it beauti-
ful town, permanent in it's existence, and
busy with -four mills. timber getting, and
all the pursuits that are followed in rail-
road center, as this is. Behind these call
ings is fine farming country, through
u hfch the railroads pass, thus affording
easy access to the markets. "Finally," said
Mr.. Loehe], that country is fine one,
and Wardner will be great town, though
never Butte City,"

Gen. Grants Last Letter,

Col. Mosby, who is to lecture in Boston
soon, has in his possession the last letter
of Gen. Grant. 1t was dictated the day be-
fore Gen. Grant died. and was addressed
to Gov. Stanford, asking his influence to
secure Col: Mosby situation in California
which would help him to enter on the prac-
tice of law. This letter was the means of
obtaining an appointment as counsel for
the Southern Pacific railroad, which Mos
by still holds. Gen. Grant had very
strong attachment for Col. Mosby. which
was fully reciprocated by the latter. Grant
always said that Mosby was one OF the
very best officers on the Southern eide dur
ing the war, and oae who thoroughly
understood and appreciated what war
meant.

borrowed money on his team from Sus

disappeared. Susman has issued q writ OF

A Tricky ssTrusty.O

At 1890 last night, near the corner OF
Main and Park streets, ,'Scotty'' met one
of the "trusties" who has been allowed to
do some odd jobs about the court house,
and had taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity and skipped" Scotty collared his
man and called for the police who were
promptly on hand. The fellow denied his
identity, but policemen took him to the
iail and turned him over to the keeper.
The MINER reporter tried in vain to learn
his name and the offense OF which he was
convicted, by telephone, but it seemed that
the person at the court house to whom The
M1NtR man was speaking was indisposed to
give any information as to the escape. The
reporter saw the capture by Seotty and
also saw the policeman take him back to
Jail. Don't trust "trusties."

Death of "Buck', Barker.

Many readers of the River Press will re-
gret to learn of the death OF f. A., better
known as "Buck" Barker, the discoverer
of the Barker mining district and in whose
honor the camp was named, which occurred
in Missouri q few days ago. He was an
old-timer in the country and was on the
frontier most Of his life, having been in
California in the early days. "Buck" cold
his mining property in Barker during the
boom and realized several Thousand dollars
for the same, when he returned to his old
home at Odessa, Missouri. and settled.
He bought farm and we understand was
swindled out of it by means of defective
title. We believe he married since his re-
turn to 1.-The states" and leaves widow.
He was too free and liberal man to save
money, SO his thousands slipped through
his fingers, and he died poor and almost
helpless. Peace to his ashes.-River Press.

of the railroad at Wardner and to invest
in real estate there.
The gentlemen left here some two weeks

the lake to Ceur d. Alene Post or Mission,
then on q cayuse pony to Wardner. Alder

The Health Discussion.

Now are we sick muchly hereabouts, or
are we not sick? that is the question.
Whether it is nobler in the minds OF men
to scoff at the ills we have, and cry health!
health!! when the disease is actually begun.
or to face it manfully with many prescrlp'
tions? The next gale that sweeps from our
back ySrds will bring to our nostrlls no
sweet smelling aroma. Ii the hea!tn OF !ne
citv depends upon the amount OF the city
taxes this year, it should be perfect? Ii it
depends upon the amount OF the city
health officers it should also be perfect.
But, alas! it depends upon one small sewer.
This was sufficient when we were pelican.
But now, with our numerous, expano!ng,
gorgeous mineral plumage and high civic
fnnctionaries. we are bird OF another
feather.
Malaria springs from the decaying effeta
rapidly accumulating on and near the sur.
face of the ground we live upon, ana
whose eftiuvia we daily breathe. The city
must have better drainage, or tne qoes, Is
tion above referred to will not De
no easily settled by prescriptions.
Judging by the number OF my prescriptions
7 should say that we need no sewerage; the
citv is too healthy; but looking at the re-
cord of the burials of children in the past
six or sight weeks, should say, comparing
the two. that the mortality is greatly in
excess OF the sickness. There is something
wrong. There is poisonous malaria here
presenting new features. The caplllary
bronchitis, which has taken oil SO many
children OF late. is malarious. Typhoid
fever will increase here. BY another iall IL
will be abundant if the city sewerage is not
extended.
One saws: "There are too many doc
tors" thus accounting for the alarming
amount of sickness. Another says the
creat health of the place is due to the et-
ficiency of the city health officers. no
donbt both are wrong, as usual. Inc
a mount of sickness is due to the diseases
nreva;linp at this time. The healthy CON
