The Crook and Thug Element Growing
Stronger in the City Daily.
Marshal Macarthur and Chief Smith are
satisfied that the city il thronged with
numerous petty larceny crooks, who hang
around the gambling houses and saloons
during the day and get in their work at
night. Some of these thieves have grown
bold by success and do not hesitate to re-
sort to highway robbery when favorable
opportunity presents. For q month past
box car accommodations have offered
tempting inducements for travel, and
numerous crooks have taken advantage OF
this means OF transportation to visit
Butte. Their presence is made known by
frequent raids on rooms at the lodging
houses and several bold hold-ups, notably
that OF Judge Hamilton. These fellows lie
around and watch their chances. A door
left unlocked, an Incautious display of
money or any slight neglect of precaution
on the part OF others tempts their
cupidity and Invites a. raid upon ex.
posed clothing or valuables. The officers
have instructions to spot all suspicious
and arrest them as Migrants on
sight. Some OF them are wary n to q
degree hat makes their arrest almost inn
possible. They will remain concealed in
old shacks about the placer mines until
when they emerge and prov
about looking for victims. They will COM
NIT a robbery in some secluded place and
at once 20 into retirement until the excite
ment has blown over. or if the swag cap
is considerable in amount, they will
fee tbs city and thus avoid getting into the
tolls. The best plan for citizens out late
&c night is to 60 prepared for these gentry
and create material for a first.class funeral
provocation justifes. -

New North West: The Mountain Lion
syndicate Tuesday last completed the con.
tract with the company to do certain de.
velopment work on that property and the
company resumed work. The syndicate
has sunk q shaft 200 feet, and on that

foot level to strike the north vein. that
being deemed the main vein. which has been
s~traiehtened up or detected by granite.
This crosscut from the south vein had been
run 50 feet last Sunday. A shipment Of
8 tons Of ore to Butte last week yielded
1870 ounces OF silver and q small amount.
Of god per ton. Arrangements are now in
progress for continuance OF the work six
months on the 200-ioot level, the syndicate
and company stockholders contributing
equally for that purpose, that a level may
be driven into heavier ore bodies further in
the mountain. Superintendent C.E. Gable

CHARITY WAS MISAPPLIED.

A Family Receiving Assistance From the
County Misapplies the Bounty.
TIE old saw about a beggar on horseback
was exempliied in a little occurrence which
transpired in this city a few days ago. The
county commissioners, since the first or
ganization OF Silver Bow, have made it a
practice to issue outside poor relief-that
is, givingtemporary relief to destitute fam
lilies to tide them over until fortune should
become kindlier disposed toward them.
Recently the board was appealed to by q
family claiming to be too poor to provide
itself with the n~ecessaries OF life. The
board considered the family entitled to
assistance and gave the head of the house
an order on a prominent grocery store for
groceries to the amount Of $50. This evi.
IDENTIFY induced the eleemosynaries to con-
slider themselves as rolling in wealth or else
they discounted the further generosity of
the commissioners, for instead OF being
content with purchasing such articles as
they absolutely needed, they fairly reveled
in such luxuries as canned chicken, sar-
dimes, canned salmon, canned fruit, ETC.,
and az q ft drink with which to wash down
such choice dainties, they closed by order
ing bottled beer to the value OF several
dollars of ths amount OF the order. II that
family is poor, its members know the good
things that money can buy, whether from
former experience or mere nearsay is not
known; but be this as it may, all must
acknowledge that they know it just the

GREAT FALLS, Dec. 14.-fSpecial to thu
Miner by Rocky Mountain T~elegraph.l-
Much indignation is expressed by the Dem.
ocrats here at the reports Indicating that
the Democratic senators may go to the
senate chamber on Monday and be
sworn in.
Leading Democrats say they will aban-
don the party II any dishonorable COM
promise 10 made. They say that the DEM
ocratic senators are doing their duty by
holding aloof Is we'll as il they were daily
the senate chamber.
They are amazed that the Democratic
senator's should make any concession after
battling the conspirators for twenty-five
days andputting them to their Wits ends to
asfraud the people.
1t is felt that the Democratic senators
should resist all attempts at coercion and
above all not surrender under threats OF
hat kind. They should in the opinion OF
ne Cascade county Democrats act unitedly |
nth the house and make a common cause
nth 1t in resisting the robbery OF the
United States senatorships. Above all it
felt that nothing should be done until
Democracy are consulted by
hose whom they elected to resist robbery

The Champion.

The strike on the west 350.foot level in
the Champion is said to be the most i'm.
poftant ever made in the mine. The body
Of ore is very large and Of uniform value,
there being but a few inches Of waste in the
entire lead. Holders Of Champion stock
have no reason whatever to be discour-
aged, as the drop in the market price OF
the stock is no possible reflection on the
value of the mine. The conditions are
such that the stock should really appreci.
ate in value. A mine with several thou
sand ions OF good ore on the dump, q still
greater quantity in sight in the levels, q
mill nearing completion and regular ship
ments OF ore to the smelter In the interim
has, to say the least, an encouraging pros
pect. Such 10 the status Of the Champion.
