Madisonian: A report came in this
evening that, at noon to-day, Matt Carey,
son of Nicholas Carey, Of Adobetown,
found the dead body of Sam Clovis, well
known to the residents of lower Alder
gulch for the last twenty five years, in his
shack near the mouth of Sailor gulch. At
the hour of going to press, we are unable
to obtain further particulars. Besides
being pioneer in Montana, he was one
of the early settlers of California, being
one of the '49ers.
Herald: Our Bohemian friend, j. S.
Dickcrson, formerly of the Independent,
later of the Miner, and more recently OF
the Chronicle, of Spokane Falls, having
disposed OF his interest in the latter paper,
has, it is said, accepted overtures for re-
engagement in Montana, and is expected
soon to resume his connection with the
democratic press of this territory. Spo-
kane Falls will also lose and Montana
probably regain H. T. Brown, formerly of
the Miner, who, having disposed of his
interest in the Review, is looking back in
the direction of Helena.
Tranchant: John Torrance, ex-N. P.
agent at Toston, who was arrested some
weeks since for embezzling the company's s
funds, had two true bills brought in
against HIM last week by the grand jury,
and upon separate trials for each lndict-
ment the verdict was not guilty. We were
led to believe from current reports that
Mr.. Torrance was sure to he sent to the
pen. The hearing of both sides of the
question, however, proved that the North
ern Pacific was still in his debt. Some
Of the auditing officials must have either
indulgcd in mixed figures or drinks to
have such a s.surc" case of criminality.

A Volcano That Throws up Silver.
A specimen of volcanic ash collected
on the Pacific coast in Ecuador, 120
miles west of Cotopaxi, has been ana
lived by Prof. Mallet. The ash fell in
July, 1885, and formed deposit to the
depth of several inches. The interest
ing feature in the composition of the
material was the presence of small
amount of silver, probably as silver
chloride. The result of several expert
ments showed that silver was present
to the extent of one part in $1,000 of
