Syndicate Of Wealthy English Capitalists
Looking for Investments in Butte.
That Butte is fast approaching the i'm
portance, magnificence and handsome pro-
portions of some effete eastern cities is a
fact that no one can readily deny. On
every side and on nearly every vacant spot
within the city limits. new houses are being
erected-houses that would be a credit to
any city. The Bowes building, on the cor
der OF Granite and Utah streets, is nearing
completion, all the brick work having been
finished. 1t is the highest structure in the
city, having five stories, and is substantial
throughout.
1t is now currently reported land the re-
port has considerable foundation in fact)
that q few Englishmen, representing q
wealthy English syndicate, are now in the
city looking over the field with q view of
buying up improved and unimproved city
property. These men have millions of
dollars at their command. and should they
conclude to purchase property here, large
and costly buildings will occupy some of
the spots ON which houses of smaller mag.
nitude now stand.
II is also said that four or five persons
from different parts OF the country are
here for the purpose OF ascertaining what
a be done in the way of starting res
taurants on the Delmonico principle. just
what conclusion has been arrived at by
them has not yet ioated to the surface.

Republicans Sighting Their Own Friends

CEhTERvILLE, September 2, 18s9.-[To
the Editor o. the Miner.]-Looking over
the Republican ticket that is to 60 before
the people the first OF October, we see that
the Scandinavians are entirely left out.
Having control of over 500 votes in this
county. it would only be fair to admit
them O representation on the county ticket.
II the Republican convention had done a
little to recognize US, we would not have
complained. But as matters now stand,
we don't feel like supporting the nominated
ticket, as we otherwise would have done.

At THE SU4 TINE.

The Regular One O'Clock Fires Started
Sunday and Monday Mornings.
When last Sunday morning came and no
alarm of fire bad been sounded during the
night before, ne arly every person in Butte
supposed that the bastard or dastards
who, for the past ten days, have been steep
ing their white-winged souls in the crime OF
incendiarism had about concluded to en-
scounce their polluted souls in white
shirts and obey the words contained in the
second commandment. A report soon min.
gled with the people on the streets that an
attempt to fire w. A.. Clark's barn had
been made during the early morning. A
visit to the stable, which is situated back
Of the Caplice building, confirmed the re-
port. The miscreant had reached through
a hole in the side of the door and set fire to
the bedding Of one of the horses in the stall
near the door. There were three horses in the
barn at the time. The Waterman said
that he had been there every ten minutes
during the night; but it is supposed that
while the Waterman was watching the
alley the fire-bug was watching him, and
took advantage OF his temporary alb.
sence. The fire did little or no damage,
however, as it was discovered in time.
As the day wore on another discovery
was made near the barn belonging to A.
W. Barnard, situated between Granite
and Quartz streets. Billy-the-Barn
Burner had provided himself with a neat
little burlap sack, about ten inches il
length, which was filled with fine shavings.
set fire to the shavings and then throw the
sack with it's burning contents into the
barn, but was frightened away by some
one and dropped the sack where it was
found.
IN SOUTH BUTTE.
Yesterday morning about / O'Clock, the
time when everyone is or the qui vive for
the regular blaze, fire was discovered issu.
ing from the warehouse of H. l.. Frank at
South Butte. The usual alarm was
sounded and the fremen were soon on
deck. Owing to a lack OF ire-fighting ia.
cilities in South Butte the fire quickly gained
such Roadway that it was impossible to
save the building, and it was soon a mass
OF smouldering ruins. Fire Marshal
O'Brien tent down $50 feet of hose, which
was sufficient to make connections with
quently confined to the building in which it
started. Mr.. Frank'sloss is about SIS, 900,
but he is insured for 50, $50 in a company
represented by Charles 8. El4inge.
The ruse on the part of the incendiary
was a very clover one, but it did not work
SO well as he possibly hoped it would. A
short time aztec the fire broke out in
South Butte a small blaze was discovered
in the rear Of ]. r. Boyce, Jr. & Co. g store
in this city. 1t had been started in a box
containing papers and other infammable
material. but before it had gained much
Roadway it was discovered and quenched. |

year as private in the Seventy first Indiana
lieutenant in the Eighth Tennessee cavalry,

East Tennessee. Late in 1868 he resigned,
being in poor health, and began the study Of
law; but in May, 1864, enlisted as private
in the One Hundred and Thirty-thir In

the district had been changed to give it

Amphibian of the Coal Period,

Professor Bickmore, in lecture on
1.-THE Period of Reptiles and Nam
mails, in the Museum of Natural His
tory, New York city, presented ON a
screen illustrations of the footprints
one of the amphibians of the coal
period. The illustration was draw
ing from the great slab of bluestone
which belongs to the museum, and
was taken from the stone quarry at
Turner's Falls, Mass. The animal
itself, Mr.. Bickmore explained, was
one of those which roamed in great
numbers along the Connecticut valley
during the carboniferous period. This
one had left its footprints in the mud
and the impression having been sub
sequently filled with sand, the cast
was preserved when the clay became
hardened into stone
From fossils of the animal, which
have been obtained in other portions
of the valley, it appears to have had
an elongated body, about fourteen feet
long, on four legs. 1t moved mainly
on the hind feet, the fore legs being
shorter, and lived partly in the water
and partly on the banks of the stream.

Faure,s New Secondary Battery.

In this battery NJ. Faure uses finely divided
metals pressed together in self supporting
mass, or metal plates are used having COM
bined with them finely divided particles Of
the same metal. Each plate is surrounded
by a sheet of prepared asbestos, the sheet be-
ing thirty-second of an inch thick dipped
first into some soluble salt, and then into q
solution of a soluble silicate capable Of pro-
ducing with the first an insoluble compound.
In his cell NJ. Faure uses zinc combined with
finely divided zinc, and copper combined
with finely divided copper. The solution
used is phosphate of potash. On subjecting
such cell to the action Of the electric cur
rent, phosphate Of copper is formed on the
surface of the copper element. NJ. Faure
then substitutes fresh solution of phosphate
of potash, and, upon discharging the battery,
phosphoric acid is transferred from the solu-
ton to the zinc, and from the copper to the
solution; SO that the solution remains un-
changed as regards its constituent elements.
The preliminary preparation would be
avoided il phosphate Of copper were placed
upon the copper element in the first instance;
but phosphate Of copper is not easy to obtain
and manipulate, and the process described IL
