DIR. HEeNAUNER, the physician who
attended on the German lady that
died several days ago in restitution,
comes out in communication to
the Volksbote, stating that he was
the physician who attended her, and
making a sling at the BANNER for its
comments on the matter. He wholly
fails to give any reason for his sin
gular silence in regard to the death.
Although it seems he was there at
the time the lady died, no one knew
of her death till the next day.

on Mrs. Judge Glldersleeve's nose. They
thought we'd attend with an army blanket
C4rowu carelessly over our shoulders. The
OD!ect was to let us know that Mrs. Judge

U urer; Our account OF the party, headed

Out of All the Fishermen Had ANY Luck
Last Sunday at the Big Hole.

Yesterday, according to programme, the
Isaac Walton Club of Butte made q raid
upon the trout in the waters of the Big
Hole and other streams. The feelings of
the gentlemen who were in the chase forbid
the mention of their names, but they went
to the chosen hunting grounds just the
s'' ME, and finding a limited field, departed
for the Avon. While there a blizzard that
would have done credit to Dakota arose,
and with the single exception OF Lippincott
the party deserted and sought refuge in
the nearest habitable places. The Judge
concluded that he would weather the
storm and he did so. Although it
was q trying ordeal, and the hour that it
was a long one. The stream could
hardly bs seen for the storm, and the fly
at the end Of the line was in mid air in
stead OF water. But patience conquers all
things and ii the story of the Judge be cor.
rect, and, he alone is responsible for it, at
the expiration OF an hour the stream sub
sided, to such q degree, that, while his
brother Waltons..wer enjoying the creative
comforts of an adjacent domicile, he caught
fine trout. The MINER has no &C.
cular demonstration Of the fact and gives
he story credence because the author OF it
in times past been known to tell the
about fishing.

Latest Report From the Colorado Ore
and Bullion Brokers.

The latest reports from the Denver firm
OF Jas. F. Matthews & Co., dated April 5,
speaks OF the copper situation as follows:
Copper has relapsed almost into stag
nancy, SO far as the price is concerned, but
there is still considerable movement of the
article itself. Prices at New York for the
week show only 1Oc margin between the
highest and the lowest prices paid for the
nearby and the far-offd deliveries. Strangely
enough, March, April, May. June and July
deliveries have been sold in about equal
quantities, with Is. 95 the price for the two
extremes, and Ice for May. The aggregate
transactions foot up 2,OO0,O Oo pounds.
The general situation is unchanged. Manu-
facturers are still very cautious, and buy
only according to their absolute
requirements, but the spectators
are much more confident. It is
expected that the final documents touch.
ing the sale of all the Lake copper to the
syndicate will be concluded next week, but
it may take longer, owing to the great dis
of the contracting parties. When
those final points are settled, the exchange
look for a boom in the price, but
the weakness in tin has had a very iniuri-
GUS effect on the speculative temper OF the
public. One peculiar feature OF the
situation is the extreme scarcity OF all out
side brands and their nearness in price to
Lake, since Baltimore is selling at 1 $3.50.
It is a noteworthy fact that the Societe DIES
at their last meeting, declined to
shoulder the entire responsibility of this
movement, but M. Secretan
promptly filled the gap and took upon him.

In 1880, on one of his periodical trips,
John Mcguire the manager, was making a
journey from Oregon to Montana and fate
threw him for the night into a small hostel.
RE in Rainier City. Oregon. While sittingin
the room three prospectors entered and re-
solved themselves into q committee OF
ways and means as to how best divide the
remaining cash on hand, between bread and
tobacco. John looked the party over and
concluded to stake them to bed and board
for the night and to a S. bill for a tobacco
fund. In a moment one of the trio recog-
nized the manager and frankly told him
that he had on more than one occasion
~patronized his theater at Phoebe. This
made things even. In due season all retired.
At early morn the prospectors were up and
off, and since then the incident had escaped
the memory of Mr.. Mcguire. A few days
ago, however, he received from Idaho a
announcing a good strike in the John
Mcguire mine near Vienna, Idaho, and the
further information hat the lucky parties
were his old partners for a night in Rainier
City. He hopes that the mine which bears
his name may be a success, and that the
llnwearied strugglers may yet attain riches.
