RUMBLES,

The railroad bridge across the Missouri al
Great Falls was completed and the rails laid
yesterday. 1t is 900 feet long.
The Wickes tunnel on the Montana &c 3
trail branch to Butte will probably be com.
pleted next November. It will be over a
mile long.
The bids for s2,Ooo,O 900 Montana Central
bonds, the road recently purchased by the
Manitoba Company, opened in New York
February 9, amounted to Sc 500, 900, at prices
ranging from ST 05 to SLIP and S1.15. The
award ranged from ST 03!4 to S1.12, $1.15.
The new time table and connections of the
Montana Union are an improvement on
former schedules. Mail and passenger trains
make closer connections both ways and al
seasonable hours. If connecting lines dc
not change for a few weeks, SO as to necessl
tate another schedule, our people will get &C
customed to this and like it. Frequent
changes are evils that should be avoided il
possible.
Daylight was let through the Montana
Central tunnel at Woodville, near Butte
last Saturday. The contractors have beer
nine months building it. Work was lone by
hand entirely. The contractors bored 244:
feet last month, which is the best months
record without the use of power drills. Mr.
Ray, the Engineer in charge, says all that re
mains to be done before track-laying on al
the road on the Butte side of the Wickes
tunnel, is to ballast the grade and build a few
~trestles. The latter are nearly built. The
longest one is 742 feet, and the highest 81
feet. Track-laying will be commenced Apri.
/, and the first Montana Central train will
reach Butte June /.

GONE TO HIS REST.
"Toln " lseebe Joins the "Innumerable
ThrOng."
Butte Miner. 9Th,

For some days past, Thomas H.. Beebe,
whose wife keeps the lodging house next to
the Butler House, on West Broadway, has
not been in good health. Yesterday after
noon at 2 o'clock he went into Wynne's drug
store, where he was well acquainted, and
took a seat in the back of the store near tie
prescription case. He complained of feeling
unwell, but 1t was not supposed that any
thing very serious allied him. He stayed
there all the afternoon, and at 6 o'clock he
was taken with a congestive chill, and was
carried into the back room and laid on a bed.
DR.. johnson was called, and everything pos
sible done for the patient, but in vain he
died at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Beebe was notified,
and visited the remains at the drug store,
after which they were removed to the rooms
Of Hermann, the undertaken, to await in.
structions from his relatives, some of whom
1--we at Deer Lodge. A brother lives at Jack
son, Mich, and has been notified of the sad
event. The deceased was one of the Oldest
of old-timers in the camp, having come to
these parts in 1862, and since lived at Mis-
soula, Deer Lodge and Butte. He was at
one time Sheriff of Missoula county, and
afterward Deputy Sheriff here under Chas. S.
Warren. He was a man of good character,
and we'll thought of by his acquaintance.

The Mineral Land Meeting.

Pursuant to the published call for a meet
ing to elect Delegates to the Mineral Land
Convention to be held at Helena this week,
a very earnest and representative assemblage
convened at the Court House last Friday
evening. Mr.. Addison Smith was elected
Chairman, and Mr.. E. p. Mills was elected
Secretary. The object of the meeting hav-
ing been stated, Mr.. H. B. Davis was called
upon and made a report of his Investigations
at the Surveyor Generals and the Land Office
at Helena, giving substantially the sam
statements that were given in the New
NORTHWEST last week or bis authority.
An informal discussion Of the interests in
volved, and the dangers with which they
were threatened, then epsued. 1t was evil
dent that the ~unpatented mineral lands in
this county, which had been surveyed, were
in imminent peril of passing under title to
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and
that it behooved those interested in the well
fare of the county to join hands with others
throughout the Territory who were moving
in the matter and endeavor to avert the evil.
desirable to lay down any policy to he pur-
sued by the delegation, but to let it cooper
ate with the committee appointed for that
purpose by the Helena Convention, which,
after more deliberation, would doubtless be
able to devise the best method Of bringing
such evidence of the mineral. character of a
large portion Of the lands the railroad has
applied for, as would compel the Depart
ments and Congress to stop the issuance of
patents to the Company IN such lands.
On motion, the following Delegates were
then elected to attend the Helena Conven-
ton, viz: Messrs. o. B. O'Bannon, II. B.
Davis, DR.. A. H. Mitchell, j. N. Fox, Conrad
Kohrs, r. S. Kelley and James B. McMaster.
The most of these gentlemen went to Helena
and participated in the proceedings, while
others found it impossible to attend. We
have no doubt the delegation we'll represen'
ted the interests of their constituents.

stop That Cough.

Great danger often results from neglected
coughs, and it will not do to experiment
with medicines doomed by imported testimo-
malls of parties hose very existence is ques-
tionable. The proper thing to do is to al.
ways keep in your cupboard a bottle of
Acker's English Remedy, which has proved
so satisfactory to our own fellow citizens =:
Read this home testimonial:
DEER LODGE, Oct. 8, 1887.
[ have been suffering some time from a
painful chronic cough, and have used Shiloh's
and other medicines without experiencing
the least benefit. Recently I purchased a
bottle of Acker's English Remedy, which
has cured me. 1 firmly believe that for affec.
tions of the throat n chest it possesses
marvellous curative powers.

More Small Pox at Butte.
Inter- Mountain, It'll.

From DR.. Magai1e, who has charge of the
small pox cases in Missoula Gulch, 1t is
learned that he has four patients under treat
ment. The first patient was the child OF
Herman Hauswirth. The next cases to ap'
pear were in the family of Robert Hauswirth
his oldest children, Wilbur and a little girl
the boys being a pronounced case and that
of the little girl a somewhat milder form.
Mis-. Smith, mother of Mrs. Hauswirth, has
a case Of varioloid.
Another case was developed in town yes
terday. When the man took sick he was re
moved to an clubhouse to await developments,
as it was not known Just what was them mat.
ter. though small pox was suspected. Yes
terday there was no longer room for doubt
and the patient was removed to the pest
house. His name is Willis.
This makes six cases of small pox, (all of a
mild form, however), and two of varioloid.

During the year just closed 337 ~trotters and
III PAGERS have made records of $50 or bet
ter. In this connection allow us to say that
the Breeder and Sportsman omits Nautilla j.,
and the Turf, Field and Farm omits Kittie
Ham and Nautilla j., Oregon stock.
The total rumber of races run in the Unit
ed States in 1887 is 3741, of which 121 were
steeplechases and II hurdle races, leaving
33549 fiat races. In 1886 the number was 3342,
of which BAG were on the fat and 1876 by
jumpers, showing for 1857 an increase of 403
races on the flat and a decrease of four for
jumpers.
Business is business, and the people of
Montana and Washington Territory are act
ing just like people do when they mean bust
ness. This weeks paper contains the Deer
Lodge, Mont, and Walla Walla, W. T.,
speed programs for 1883. Both Of these
speed programs will not only attract the
horsemen and public because the premiums
are liberal, but because the races named are
in accordance with public sentiment. Last
year the races and fairs throughout Montana
and Washington were very successful, and
we predict for each association double pat.
rOnage this year.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction Of internal revenue and the
tary medicines, no doub5 has largely bene-
flied the consumers, as well as relieving the
burden Of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with GREEN'S August F7orer
and Boschee's German Sy7ap, as the reduction
of 81 cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size Of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-ffth more
medicine in the Is cent size. The august
Flower for dyspepsia and liver complaint,
and the Ger1nm Syrup for cough and lung
any medicines in the world. The advantage
of increased size of the bottles will he
greatly appreciated By the sick and afflicted
in every town and village in civilized conn-
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the
same size. 9l ~ COW

MINING NOTES.
1tems Of the Great Montana Industry.

The excitement about the Yellowstone
mine in the Castle mountains, is running at
fever heat.-Husbandman.
The output of the Jay Gould mine for Jan
uary, as shown by the report of the Secre-
tary, was $4,000. A good showing.
The Granite Mountain Mining Company
has declared a dividend of 80 cents per share,
or 100000, payable Feb. 10, in st. Louis.
Some 5000 feet Of lumber has been deliv-
cred by Manager McMaster at O'ponnelrs,
as required.
General Manager J.. K. Pardee, of Philips
burg, went up with Irwin Higgins yesterday
to look at some properties in which the lat
ter is interested in Orc Elmo District. Mr..
Pardee did not expect to be able to visit any
of the prospecting work in the District ex-
cept, possibly, the Cottonwood.
Work on the Consolidated Champion Co.'S
prospecting shaft on the Lily is progressing
favorably. It is down about 80 feet, showing
two feet of solid quartz, which looks we'll,
but has not yet been assayed. This shaft is
to be sunk to q depth of IS feet, and three
shifts are now working on it. The machin-
cry for the hoist is all on the ground, and
brick will be sent up in a day or two to set
it up.
The Cottonwood lead was struck on the
15O-foot level at about II feet from the shaft,
and a hard quartz, showing ruby silver, is
now being cut through. IL is Of a better
character than the quartz on the 100 foot
level. The level will rave to be run clear
across the vein to reach the hanging wall,
where the better grade ore is expected. On
the 10O-foot level there is now FIVE feet of ore
in the face of the workings. The finty
quartz has nearly all disappeared as the work
is pushed southwark, and the transverse tun-
mel has now been run about IS feet.
Foreman Jones last Monday took the force
of the face of the tunnel in the Mountain
Lion and started an upraise, through ore, on
the foot wall to the surface. The air in the
tunnel was getting bad, and he deemed it
best to start the upraise, so that when an
other shift of men (who have been sent for)
arrive, the work on the tunnel and upraise
can both be prosecuted without interference
and with the same supply of air from the
blower. The upraise will be about 80 feet.
Some high grade ore was being taken out Of
it. The face of the tunnel showed about
three feet of lead matter-a high grade streak
on each side and in the middle, with consid-
cradle ore mixed through the Intervening
matter. When the upraise is completed, the
vein will then be cross cut for the granite
hanging wall, it having not yet been cut
through to. Mr.. j. N. Fox, who has worked
several years on the vein, believes the main
ore body is on the hanging wall. The condi-
ton of all the workings IS regarded as very
favorable.

He Proved Too Much.
Butte Miner

A gentleman of this city, who owns a fast
horse, was arrested not long since for furious
driving. At the trial a witness swore that
the horse was not going more than six miles
an hour, and it could not 60 faster. The de-
PENDANT then arose, with blood in his eye,
and said ''You are a %blankety blank liar
I'll pay the costs" and he did so rather than
have a slur sticking to his horse.
