A Promising District.

New Northwest: Considerable attention
is attracted to the Little Blackfootd district,
lying south and q trifie east from Elliston.
The Monarch and the Lilly group OF mines
are the most notable properties, though
there are many other promising prospects
in the neighberhood. Helena and Elliston
capital Is principally interested in the
development of the camp, and the outlook
is regarded as most encouraging. So far,
the ore uncovered is all low grade. assays
ranging from $40 to $40, but as it is found
in large bodies, this fact is regarded with
favor. We confidently expect good re-
ports from the new district the next few
months.

deferred, and only quite recently solemnlv

condemned to the scaffold for this crime

attributed this to want Oh food, &c being
affirmed that he has had to live on almost

Gentlemen-Your communication, in the

reply thereto we would say Q) that IL has
been the annual custom OF these two COM
mercial bodies TO engage in friendly baseball
rivalry for the benefit of the orphans fund;
and, while on oil former occasions IL has
been our good fortune 10 be the successful
team, you should not ON that account at
tempt 10 change the game on u.s. We think
that you should this year, as heretofore,
offer yourselves as q sacrifice on the altar of
orphans charity and be again defeated.
OF course it is not your fault that you have
not the superior team. A long-suilerng
public does not expect you To win. We
therefore cannot help but think that You
should at least be willing to Try again, al
though You must know that you haven't a
ghost Of chance against us. II would, / as
~ 70 you. be taken rs an earnest of your
desire 10 do the right thing 90 We have
no members who understand the game you
propose. CD Baseball, being the national
game of America, Il should be our duty TO
encourage that sport rather than that Of
football.
For these reasons we most respectfully de-
cline % play football but II You will amend
your challenge by striking out the word foot,
and inserting the word base, we will heartily
| accept, aud promise to keep up our well
earned reputation by pounding your
