FIFTY DOLLARS AND COSTS

Is the Amount Sam Morgan Had to Pay
for Beating q Woman.
Sam Morgan keeps a saloon on the cor
ner OF Wyoming and Mercury streets and
the necessary to start was furnished by q
woman who goes by the name of Anna
Morgan. at least the woman say she fur

Sam instead Of trying to refund
her the money, as he promised to
do, spends the profits OF his whisky
bank in riotous living and having a high
time generally. Yesterday afternoon she
visited the place and demanded money OF
Samuel, but instead OF giving her ducats
he gave her abuse and threatened % ki |
her. This exasperated the womrn and she
threw q china dog, which constituted one
OF the ornaments on the bar, at ler bar
tender; but like most women she proved
only q poor thrower. The dog missed
Morgan, but not q large mirror behind the
counter, much to the damage ofthe mirror.
Morgan then rushed at the woman, and
after knocking her to the floor began to
eat and choke her. In some way she
managed to escape and went direct
to the police court and lodged complaint
against Morgan. A warrant was issued
and given to Officer Carroll to serve. He
went to Morgan's saloon and placed him
under arrest, but not without Morgan at
tempting to make a bluff about not going
along. The officer landed him before Judge
Newkirk and the complaint was read.
Morgan entered a plea OF gull y and was
promptly fined $50 and costs. He at.
tempted to make a plea Of justification,
but his honor told him that n man who
struck a woman should be punished. The
prisoner then s1bsided and left with an
officer to secure the money, but before he
could leave the room he was arrested on
another warrant for thrt atening to kilt b
and was placed under bonds to ap-
pear next Monday.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.
Sam Harvey in Jail for Beating His Wife
and Disturbing the Peace.

Sam Harvey in Jail for Beating His Wife
and Disturbing the Peace.
Sam Harvey, residing on Copper, was ar.
rested by Officer Daum yesterday on a
warrant charging him with beating his wife
and disturbing the peace. When the off,
Ger entered the house a pitiable sightgreeted
him. Mrs. Harvey was in bed with her
face bruised and discolored beyond r~ecogni-
ton, the effects OF the blows she had re-
ceived from her brutal husband. The In
terror Of the house was almost a complete
wreck, also the work OF Harvey. Not sat-
isfed with inhumanly beating and cutting
his wife, Harvey took it upon himself to
destroy all the furniture the house con-
tanned and seemed to have q special spite
against the stove, as he broke it into in
initismal pieces and rendered it absolutely
worthless. When brought into court the
burly fellow was surrounded by a pack OF
dogs, and acted as though he had COM
mitted q deed of the most com.
mendable nature, and when the COM
plants against him were read BY
City Attorney Corbett he was inclined
to do a little bragadocia staggering, but
was promptly brought to his senses q
made to realize that he was not in q bar
room. He plead not guilty and an officer
was sent with subpeaas for Mrs. Harvey
and an other lady, commanding them to
appear as witnesses. In q short time the |
officer returned and reported that Mrs. |
Harvey was unable to appear owing to her |
injuries. The court continued the case
until this afternoon and in default OF bail |
the wife-beater was locked up in the CITY |
jail.
This is not Harvey's first offense of the
nature, and he has been d. rested be-
fore, but each time he escaped punishment
by the refusal of Mrs. Harvey to prosecute

Deer Lodge Copper Mines.

The Deer Lodge Silver State says that
Charles Cooper has just arrived at Der
Lodge, and speaks as follows Of the new
copper discovery in the northern part of
Deer Lodge county:
The lead which can be traced ten miles
west and from four to six miles east over
the mountain was discovered, and our at
tention called to it by some half breed In
dians. 1t 10 located thirty miles northeast
Of Helmville, between the main river and
the north foot OF the Blackfoot, and at pres.
emit ten miles OF the ira vel has to be made
with pack animals, as there is no wagon
road. We did not visit the district until q
year ago last spring, when we made some
locations. We went in again last May
and returned and expected to go back in
August prepared for active work, but at
that time the timber fires were 80 intense
that it was impossible. They were extin-
guished, however, by the late storms, and
we went IN again about three weeks ago
and gave the country a good prospecting.
The quartz which / brought with me
is simply float and assays made by Mr..
Strang 60 from 40 to 10 per cent. in cop
per and a nice per cent. in silver. We
found the lead to be twelve feet wide
and have in our prospect, which is only
oOh Q uCOPs OLA lCOU vi SoOu COppC WV
in fact it looks as if the whole mountain
might be copper ore if one could get the
depth. The mountain on which the dis
covery is made is perfectly bare of vegeta-
ton and the formation is very hard, but
any place you find a piece Of float you can
get a good assay. Our property is ad-
joining that purchased for the Anaconda
company, and what they propose doing I
do not know. My purpose here is to
org ,nize a company under the avs Of
Montana to work our property. This /
have accomplished in a measure, and
Judge W. j. Galbraith is now drawing
up the necessary documents. Those in
terested in the property I represent are
Messrs. Ogden, Dixon, Pritchard and J. c. |
Marcum. We propose to place a limited
of shares on the market here for |
q working capital. It is said that this
same lead a be traced twenty miles, as
far as Monetar creek. It is q grad coun.
try n when developed a little we think
the largest copper mines ON earth will be
the result"
Mr.. Cooper exhibited some OF the quartz,
and it can be seen now at Mr.. StraDg's as
say office. 1t is undoubtedly the richest
ever brought here, and as Mr.. Cooper is
reliable every way, the people
this county should feel no hesitancy in
taking hold of the enterprise.

The Volunteer.

The Volunteer is still hosting ore from
the recent strike on the west level. The
orei in the wing is increasing in richness as
depth is attained, and the principal stock
holders are confident that the Volunteer
will be the largest silver lead in the camp.
The w'nze is now down about 80 feet, and
the fact that no Water has as yet been en-
countered confirms the belief that the mine
is on the west extension of the Gagnon
lead. Should this prove to be the case, it
is thought that in the near future the Vol.
unteer will erect reduction works ofits own.
The ore now found on the 40O.foot level is
OF base character and will have to be
treated by the furnace process, but as it
averages 10 ounces in silver and $40 in
gold per ton, a large margin will be left.
Very little stock is now being offered for
sale, as the bulk of it isin the hands ofsome
OF the principal business men OF the city
who will not part with at the figure now
offered for it.

After Making Restitution He is Held
Until the Costs are Paid.
Thomas Lynch. a hash rustler in the em.
ploy Of M. Bernheim, proprietor OF the
Vienna, q restaurant, is confined in the
county jail on a charge OF larceny. Sunday
evening before leaving the restanr.
ant Bernheim. placed twenty dol.
lars in the till for change.
After the departure Lynch, feeling lucky,
gobbled the money and went against a
bank. While seated at the green cloth
+ eding the tiger Lynch was taken in charge
by Bernheim who had returned to thedough-
nut bank and found him gone, and toddled
him off to the Lolice station. He was given
into custody and help on the charge OF lar
ceny. Yesterday the faithful and sacrificing
wife OF Lynch pawned her sewing machine
and paid Bernheim the amount abstracted
from the till. In consideration OF his re-
imbursement Bernhsim consented to drop
the prosecution, and sent q note
to Judge Newkirk requesting the
suit to be dismissed. The court
consigned Lynch. to the county
jail, answered that the prisoner would be
released upon payment of costs. Bern
helm declined to accede to this demand,
and Lynch still languishes in Jail, and will
probably be prosecuted for his offense.

PLENTY OF GOLD THERE.
Supposition That the Flats Be
low Town Are Under
lined With Gold.
An Effort Will Probably Be
Made Next Spring to
Find Out.
From Saturdays Daily.

from Sacurd6y6 Ue1y.
Nothing OF great magnitude has taken
place in mining circles during the past
t~wenty-four hours, but mining men are
figuring largely on the future. The coming
spring will witness q revolution in the min.
ing business in this vicinity, as prepare.
tions are being made to not only demon.
strate the continuity OF the copper belt,
but also to work over the placer ground be-
tween Butte and Silver Bow. This ground,
which was worked years ago. before the
attention OF miners was attracted to the
lodges of silver and copper-bearing rock
cropping put hereabouts. will now pay
handsomely, for in those days miners were
not content with anything smaller than
an Alder guIch or fifteen or twenty
dollar. a-day diggings. Their mode
of working at that time was also crude Inc
primitive, but the devices for saving metal
are now 30 complete that ground that
five dollars q day to the man will now
produce double that amount. At that
time four dollars q day would not pay q
man. as provisions, clothing, tools, etc.,
cost more than they do to-day because the
means of transportation were different.
The Silver Bow Hydraulic company is pre-
pairing to work 2,500-acre tract of this
"worked. out" ground between Rocker and
Silver Bow. The company is running a
ditch from Feeley's Station to Rocker, a
distance OF nearly eighteen miles, and the
coming spring will witness great activity in.
that vicinity.
The superstition is that the fat below
the city contains a q amount Of gold,
but owing to the immense quantity Of
water below the surface no great efforts
have so far been made to reach bedrock.
That the ground in question contains gold
and plenty OF it is beyond doubt. but
it will pay t. work is another
question on which there has been no lack
of speculation. From all that can be
learned, bedrock has nevsr been reached
anywhere on. the fiat, inc until such has
been done no one will be able to form
estimate of the amount OF gold
buried beneath the grass roots. Where
gold would be likely to be found would be
where the depression oil the fiat is the
greatest, which is along the channel
by Silver Bow creek. To keep
the water along this channel and at
the same time sink in the soft gravel
would be almost impossible, yet it will be
done '. hen some enterprising men firmly
make up their minds that on the bottom
Of that channel lie innumerable gold mug
gets.
