NO OTHER RAILWAY IN The NORTHWEST

has in SO short period gained the reputation
and popularity enjoyed by the Wisconsin
Central Line. From comparatively un-
known factor in the commercial world, it has
been transformed to an independent, influential,
grand Through Route, with magnificent dep0ts,
supurb equipment and unsurpassed terminal fac
ities Through careful catering to details, 1t has
won for itself q reputation for sOidity, safety,
convenience and attention to its patrons, second
to no railroad in the country. Pullman sleepers,
models of palatial comfort, dining cars in which
the cuisine and general appointments ale up to
the highest Standard and coaches especially built
for this route, are among the chief elements
which have contributed towards catering success
fully to discriminating public. Located directly

The Smoke House Lode.

Miner: Among the disputed titles to
lots in Butte none has caused so much
disquietude or retarded progress more
than the Smokehouse lode claim. It
covers the best business part of the
town. The uncertainty or cloud the
legal proceedings in connection with it
have cast on the real estate involved
has been reflected on all the other real
estate in the city and created the i'm
preston elsewhere that it is impossible
to get clear title to realty in Butte.
This has had the effect OF preventing
several proposed improvements conse-
quent upon the investment of capital in
building. Several efforts at compro-
mise have failed. It has been known
for some time past, however, that an
energetic effort was OF foot to settle
the matter out of court. Street rumors
were current Friday that the desired re-
suit had been accomplished. 1t was re-
ported that all the owners of The min
eral title, except a small fraction
amounting to one-One hundred and
twelfth interest, have given their adhe-
sion to plan for conveying title to the
surface owners. The settlement is vir-
tually complete, but not SO as to partic-
ulariZe. Sufficient was known, how
ever IN yi vn rica fn fhr lnlinf that tho
cloud that had rested on Butte real
estate in consequence of that claim will
soon be a thing of the past and that the
confidence of operators in real estate
will be restored in Butte so far as this
particular claim is concerned. The best
results are hoped for when this settle

Cannon ExOnerated.

At a special meeting of the Butte city
council, held for the purpose of giving
Treasurer Cannon the opportunity to
report, that gentleman was exonerated
from the charge Of shortage, he having
satisfactorily explained matters. The
accounts alleged to be short were ex-
planned by report submitted after the
date Of the experts examination which
he was not aware of, by the expert MAX
ing some erroneous charges Of salary
drawn which had been duly allowed by
the old council, but lrregularly done by
the expert. 1t was presumed from
legal standpoint that he was not enti-
tied to the sum by ordinance, but as the
old council had allowed it, the matter
was dropped. The treasurer will at
once be furnished with new books that
he may keep the city finances in more
intelligent shape than heretofore.

A I3lunder of the Military.

BlunOer OF the Military.
1t is claimed that there has been a
serious blunder made by the military
department across the line, according to
correspondent of the associated press.
The dispatch says: There has been
serious blundering in forwarding troops
to Skeena Falls, the scene Of the Indian
uprising in British Columbia, which,
according to advices received from the
Pacific may result in the complete ami
hilation of the expeditionary force now
on their way up Skeena river. Too late
the military department here discovered
they have made terrible blunder in the
route of transport in sending troops mp
Skeena river, which has to he under
taken in canoes through country re-
ported wholly alive with hostile. Indians
armed with Winchester rifles, and
strongly entrenched along the river on
high impregnable bluffs, which bound
it on either side. The Mass river
route would have taken the expedition
through country not infested with
hostile Indians up to within a short
distance from where it was expected
the first engagement would take place
1t is stated by traders recently down
from the scene of trouble that the In
diaEs are actively preparing to resist an
attack and have entrenched themselves
all along the river, from which position
twenty Indians could wipe out the
whole &c .achment without fear Of losing
single man.

The Pauper Labor Question

The commission now investigating
the question of the importation Of
pauper labor into the United States
boarded steamer at quarantine in New
York the other day and it was found
that she carried, of steerage passengers,
all Austrians instead of 400 Italians.
The committee returned to the city and
resumed it's session and the testimony
of Colonel Caesar of the Philadelphia
Record was resumed. The witness said
that in the Pennsylvania coal fields he
had found by personal observation that
fully two-thirds of the men employed
in the collieries were Italians, Hunga-
rians and Poles. The common laborers
of these localities received only from 50
cents to $3.50 per day. The Italians
live on about 40 cents a day and the
Hungarians spend about so sents day.
The witness said that in fifteen years
the rates of wages had decreased so per
cent, but the price of coal had remained
the same

Sheridan's Death.

After a long and painful illness, during
which the best medical talent and the
tendcrcst care battled against death, Gen.
Philip II. Sheridan has passed away. At
noon last Monday President Cleveland
sent the following message to congress:
ut becomes my painful duty to an
nounce to congress and to the people of
the United States the death of Philip H.
Sheridan, general Of the army, which oc-
cured at late hour last night at his
summer home in the state of Massachu-
setts. The death of this valiant soldier
and patriotic son of the republic, though
his long illness had been regarded with
anxiety, has shocked the country and
caused universal grief. He had estab-
hearts of his fellow c"untrymen, who soon
caught the true meaning and purpose OF
his soldierly devotion and heroic temper.
His intrepid courage, his steadfast patri
otism and generosity of nature inspired
with peculiar warmth the love Of the
people. Above his grave, affection for
the man and pride in his achievements
will struggle for the mastery, and too
much honor cannot be accorded one who
was SO richly endowed with all the quail
tiles which make his death a national
loss"
The general will be buried Iii the
grounds at the Soldiers Home in WASH
ington. The funeral will be military
ceremony, though in accordance with
General Sheridan's wishes it will be at
tended with little pomp or ceremony.
Flags on all the public buildings in Wash
ington have been at half mast ever since
his death.

Railroad Notes.

The Northern Pacific Railroad company
offers tickets from all points in Montana
to Helena at the one fare rate for the
round trip during the Helena fair. Re
turn tickets are good until August Goth.
Owing to the recent heavy rains the
Northern Pacific trains both east and west
have been DELAYED several hours every
day. Great care has to be exercised in
running over certain portions of the road
where there arc liable to be land slides.
The Northern Pacific railroad, in the
interest of the northwestern country, will
on August 23d sell round trip excursion
tickets from ST. Paul to Helena and Butte
for $25. The tickets will be good for
thirty days, and doubtless many will
avail themselves OF this opportunity to
make trip through our wonderful terri
tory.
A great disturbance was created in
eastern railroad circles recently by the
Chicago g. Atlantic road selling tickets
for an excursion to New York at the one
fare rate. The excuse was the Blaine re-
cepticn. The other roads were very in
dignant, but they will all have to make
the same rates. The Chicago & Atlantic
sold 500 tickets the first day.

employees to consider the proposition to
form confederation of locomotive en-
g:neers, firemen and brakemen's brother

citation convened in Minneapolis August
9th. The gathering included represent
atlves from eighteen divisions of engin-
GERS. thirteen lodges of fremen, eight
lodges of brakcmcn and four lodges of
switchmen, representing between 1000
and 10000 men. The meeting was al
most unanimous in favor of the ANAL
gamat,on. Steps were taken to further
the result.

probably Sunday. In each of the herds
just entering the territory there are 2,2O0
head, with $4,000 soon to follow. The
! first herd was brought in by Henry Lip
pold and the second one by Reuben
Branch, and have been slowly driven from
Wendover on the Platte river, where they
left the railroad. They are without doubt
the finest lot of cattle brought over the
trail this season, many of them being fit
for beef. Though severe storms have
been the feature of the drive, the cattle in
no instance have run over forty rods, so
skillfully have they been handled. Bill
Stubbs, Wild Bill, Red John and Careless
Joe are among the Nm hands. Henry
Lippold's outfit can lie said to be the
only one which has not lost horses in the
lower country reporting losses Of
from three to ten head. The E 2 and the
A outfits drove along with the Nm
herds until they reached the Mizpah,
where they are now branding their 1000
with Reverdy Mount as foreman These
two outfits have 1000 head of cattle fol-
lowing their lead.
Many items are going the rounds of
the press in regard to the Middle Fork or
upper Judith country. That whole sec
tion of country, in fact the whole Belt
and Little Belt ranges of mountains, arc
full of mineral, but that district in par
ticular contains many fine bodies of ore.
The late j. D. Wcatherwax, we'll known
old timer in the territory, was firm be-
liever in the final prosperity of Yogo and
the Middle Fork. From the time of his
failure at Utica up to the time of his
death he lived the life of hermit in his
cabin at Yogo, experimenting the opera
tions of two arastras that were at work on
his ore. He died sudden and lonely
death, but others are continuing his work
and one of the largest mining camps in
the territory will some day be located in
that locality In speaking of recent work
there an exchange says: "The Middle
Fork country is yielding some very rich
gold ore at this writing. In the ground
formerly owned by j. d. Wcatherwax,
but now the property of T. E. Collins and
others, the tunnel has been driven in to Il
considerable depth, and by making an up
rise and sinking winzc breast of twenty
feet of free carbonate ores has been de-
vclopcd that runs from, $3.50 to $18
per ton. The arastra which has been
running on ore from this mine was closed
down by Mr.. Collins on his recent visit,
considering an arastra process entirely too
slow for SO fine NINE He made ar
rangeMcnts for more full development
of the mine, assuring the other owners
that he would find a way of reducing the
rock, once the mine is, developed.

singular fact was brought out at the meet

a quantity of salt with view to increasing the
milk production. he had seen 1t stated that
such would be the result: he was not disappoins 3

the singular feature of the trial was that while

Of sailing this ratio estored.
This is a matter of some consequence to dairy
men who are interested only In the production
of milk, but where cream is desired it seems
that excessive sailing acts against the produc-
ton of cream. DR.. Cressey stated that this was
result that might naturally be expected; that
the excess of salt prevented the active develop

tivity at first 1t would be reasonable TO suppose
that after little time the extent of the

ratio TO the entire milk product. It is. in our
mind. more rational conclusion to come to to
attribute increased flow of milk because of
increased amount of water drunk, while the
fatty secretion remains constant. which in
of COWS in prime condition is believed 20 be
rule. We should hardly be willing to believe
that sailing fully would have any very marked
effect on the cream.
