The Play Better than Gold" Repro
dueed at Drummond to n Lar1e
Audience. for the Benefit of the
Public School. Last Night.

"Better than Gold" was reproduced
by the Drummond home talent on July
18th and was grand success. The repe-
tition Of tho play was for the benefit of
the public school of Drummond, and
perhaps on this account and the fact that
nothing but words of praise and COM
mendation was heard as to the worth and
character Of the same play on June 3Oth
The actors if anything felt more at their
ease than before and the smoothness
with which all rendered their parts would
have done credit to a professional troupe.
AS many termed it in commenting upon
the manner in which the performers &C
quainted themselves, 'it was a grand
surprise to themselves and audience"
The school district has been in debt for
some time AMI speaks excce dinghy we'll

COMBINATION.

At the mines of this company addition.
al mon havo been put to work, and nov
seventeen miners are employed. The
mill is doing excellent work. The June
output was II bars Of silver, three car
loads of concentrates and carload of
high grade ore, altogether amounting to
a sum in the neighborhood of $4,000
The superintendent thinks the output
for July will be as large or larger. This
being the case it will not be surprising to
hear, upon Supt. Akers' report being re-
ceived at the home Office, of the stock
jumping from the 521z-cent notch it is
now in to 81 or more. Mr.. Akers de-
serves praise for the excellent and Geo.
nomical manner in which he is conduct
ing the work on both mines and mill.

PEARL.

On the Pearl the timbering of the shaft
has been completed to the tunnel level
and on Monday the 3-o'clock shift began
sinking the shaft by windlass. The dis
tance gone down since then has uucov-
cred more fine-looking ore, which appears
to be stronger and of a character that de-
notes a continuous body.
The shaft will have to be sunk to a
depth sufficient to allow set of timbers
to be put in below the tunnel level be-
fore the station will be completed and
the contractors for the driving of the
tunnel allowed to proceed with their
work. This will probably be by the
middle OF next week. The two contrac-
tors have let in two partners with them
and the contract has been made to read
for 400 feet instead of 200.
The framework, gallows-frame and
other timbers of the hoist have arrived
and placed in position, so that no delay
will be occasioned when the machinery
arrives as to getting it into position.

SAN FRANCISCO.

Two cars of twenty tons each have
been shipped this month Another cal
is ready, but is delayed for shipment be.
cause of alack in ore sacks.
In the east 40O-foo level they are tax
ing the ore down on canvass and sacking
it in the drift. The west 4OO-foet level is
| carrying forward breast of ore, follow
ing the hanging wall. No foot-wall in
sight. This drift is approaching the con-
tact between the lime and granite, where
more extensive chambers of ore are ex-
pected.
Prof. S. F. Emmons, of the United
States geological survey, in his Geology
and Mining Industry of Leaville, thus
speaks of certain large deposit of very
rich ore, and its causes, very applicable
to this property:
Manganese empirical gener-
alization of the miners in this region is
that where a large amount of manganese
is found in the vein materials. rich chic
ride deposits are likely to be found in the
immediate vicinity. It is worthy of note
in this connection that barium is a most
frequent constituent of manganese ores
The fact that the oxides of manganese
when treated by hydrochloric acid evolve
chlorine is also suggestive. If it is as
suned that silver in its passage from sui
phide to chloride, passes through sui
phate; and that hydrochloric acid was
formed in the surface waters, say by the
action of sulphuric acid formed in some
of the reactions that may have taken
place, the presence of manganese oxide
would favor the liberation of chlorine
which, in turn, would form chloride of
silver from the sulphate. when the latter
came in contact with carbonate of lime.
and the lime be carried away as sulplate.
This, we believe, is Supt Smiths
theory. and which he has held to from
the beginning. The San Francisco vein

GRANITE,

The output for the week ending July
II, was 80 bars of bullion, containing
60,444.S1 ounces silver and 1860 ounces
gold.
During the week Mill A (30-stamp>
was idle one day and Mill 3 (40-stamp,
was closed down two days.
On Fred Burr the work of excavating
has commenced, and tho force employed
doubled. There are now 200 men at
work on the ground. It is said that the
framing Of all the timbers for the mill
will be done at the Philipsburg depot,
and will not be taken to the site until
the railroad is completed to the ground.

PERSONALS AND MINING NOTES.

PERSONALS AND MINING NOTES.
The pay roll of the San Francisco for
the month OF June was in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000.
The extension of the bonds on the
several claims at Boulder, lately under
bond to the Boulder syndicate, is still
unsettled.
The San Francisco has another boiler
on the road. The need of a new hoist is
also being felt and will perhaps be
ordered at once.
Col. Ed. I. Zimmerman OF Helena, and
Phil. vi. Saunders, general manager of
tho San Francisco, viii be over on
visit to the mine this week.
Will Akers, of the Combination COM
pany at Black Pine, was in town Satur-
day. John NJ. Long, the able foreman,
also put III an appearance Sunday, and
left next morning on business trip to
Butte.
Senator Stewards bill recurring mine
to be done before the first
OF August has passed but one house, and
as 1t cannot be reached by the second in
the ordinary course of business until
next session, miners need not be alarmed
as to representation for this year.
Supt. j. X: Pardee returned home last
week from the Ceur d'Alenes. He ex-
presses himself as much impressed with
the mines at Burke, to which place he
went to look over property. He exam
ined both the Tiger AID Poorman of that
camp and declares them both to be bo-
nanzas.

and its water is so impregnated with sui
phuric acid as to nearly destroy the
water pipes, although in use no longer
than six months. The first hundred feet
of the vein has been leached, and it's
greatest riches carried down to the lime
contact, where it will be found in huge
chambers throughout the lime The
chamber they are now in, on the west
400-foot level, is probably the first in a
series of bonanzas.
The east and west 2OO-foot levels have
never looked as we'll as now.
Men are cutting pump station on the
4O0foot level. probably preparatory to
sinking another 100 feet.

The Butte crosscut is still driving in
hard granite, with indications no more
favorable than last week. The header is
now in 78S feet.
In the east drift of the 40O-foot level Of
the Rattlesnake shaft indications are
about the same as reported last week.
The crosscuts north and south from the

BUCKEYE SYNDICATE,

On the Buckeye tho shaft is down
about 50 feet. At about 60 feet it was
started from the perpendicular to a 40
degree incline. The vein at 60 feet looks
very we'll. The walls are true and well
defined, and the quartz, though low
grade, has the appearance of getting
better. It is still about feet wide, and
portion af it is now filled with broken
quartz and m ashed-up country rock.

Forming a Syndicate.
From the Lincoln .JO1i,.n0I

A Lincoln man who has Just returned from
an extended tour of the country recently struck
a small town in Missouri where the shanties
composing the metropolis were surrounded by
numerous acres of land siaked off into lots
Before one of the magnificent trade emporiums
sat an old man smoking a corncob pipe and
apparently plunged in meditation The Lincoln
man assumed an air of profound innocence and
accosted him, when this dialogue enSued:
What are these stakes here for?"
Town lots, stranger This hyar town is Just
er goin' to have boom. An opery house will
be built thar eff nothin' happens"
who owns this property?"
"A syndacut. We won't see AIRY flies on this
town"
And what il a syndicate?"
Why, we see, a syndacut is er lot of fellows
in Their city what has money, and they sorter
got together and buy up a farm, and they stake
il off, We see, an start u boom. That thar land
was the Wilder Magure's farm, but their syn
daent bought it and staked it Off"
And how does the syndicate do its boom
ingy"
"Wal, one Teller in the syndacut gets control
of it all, we see. and he sells a lot to another
Teller, an it goes round, an every time it goes
round the price is rz.
But then it would never be sold out of that
bodyf"
1T wouldn't, eh' Stranger, yer wrong.
Finally er lot is sold to some outside Teller and
then it's deddycated, yer see, an don't go round
no more"

from Saratoga to the st. Louis Globe. The ends
are accomplished in different ways For in
stance. the place of the master of ceremonies is
at the door of the ballroom. AS the n,ammas
marshal in their interesting charges, they will
say:

Please see that she has desirable partner this
evening"
And the master. who has been through
dozen seasons of the same thing, lays his hand
on his heart, bows and says:
with pleasure, madam"
Then he runs over the eligibles of the other
sex ne has in mind, and lntroductions follow.
Or sometimes the mamma says: MIR. Mailer

der with the eyeglasses? Do you know if he is
married? Is he wealthy
Pom my honor madame" saws the master

Blaine's Untruthful Statements.

| Mr.. Blaine is fast losing what little repu-
tation he has for veracity when dealing
/ with public questions. In his Portland,
! Me, speech he made Some statements which
elected great deal of applause from his
audience, but which have been shown since
| to be wholly untrue He must have been
either ignorant of tho subjects to which
they related, and therefore indifferent
whether they were correct or not, or else he
must have known them to be untrue and
hoped that they would not be Investigated
ana their urtruthfuiness made apparent.
Ome of his statements was that the saw
ings banks Of Massachusetts contained as
lnrge an amount of deposits as all the saw
ings banks of the United Kingdom. His
purpose by this statement was to show
that the wage-earners of this country are a
great deal better off than the wage-earners
OF England. The democratic and indie
pendent newspapers of Massachusetts
quickly showed that his statement relative
to the deposits in savings banks was untrue
Another of his statements was that
England, under her system OF free trade,
was plastered ali over with trusts, and that,
therefore. the protective system which pre-
walls in this country did not breed trusts.
The only trust in England to which he
called attention was the coffin trust and all
he knew about that one was CLEANED from
the columns of an English newspaper.
A cablegram to the New York Times,
however, points out that trusts are vir-
tually unknown in England, and that Mr..
Blaine's statement about trusts there
is not true. A careful inquiry among
the best informed men of England
shows that there are no trusts
there. 1t seems that there is corner
there once in while, but that is not in tho
nature of a trust.
What does Mr.. Blaine mean by making
statements which are wide of the truth?
1t is hardly probable that he intends to in
jure the prospects of the republican party
for success. The fact, however, that he
could mention only one trust of the count
less number which he says exist there,
seems to indicate that he had not made
very careful inquiry as to whether or not
England was plastered all over with trusts.
Mr. Blaine will have to be more careful
about his statements relative to public ques-
tions if he desires to be believed. The
people are quite as wide awake as he is, and
if he thinks he can palm off on them false
hoods for facts he will discover that he is
mistaken.
There is certainly some explanation due
from Mr.. Blaine with respect to his state
ments about the deposits in savings banks
and trusts. If he offers none, it will be
fair to assume that he has none to offer, and
that he thought he could make untruthful
statements without detection.

Thebaud a former resident of Madison, N. j.
About six years ago she went abroad to educate
her children. The goods were placed in DE
Camps storage warehouse, and he received
every three months q check for 5i15 for caring
for them. In June he was instructed by Mrs.
Thebaud's New York agent to pack the goods
for shipment to Stockholm, where Mrs. Thebaud
had settled Immense strong cases were made,
and the lot of 1876 pieces vas packed at the ex-
pense of 81 900. Two large safes contained
silver plate valued at $4,000, and nine pier
glasses, twelve feet high, were included IN the
shipment The entire lot weighed 200 tons.
Mrs Thebau1's daughter is about to marry a
