n CHANGE OF COLLECTORS.
Capt. l.. +. Wyman Appointed Successor to
Capt. John Mccormick.

Capt. John Mccormick.
To a few it has been known for over a
week that Capt. L. F. Wyman had been
appointed revenue collector for this dis.
trict, the Third, comprising Silver Bow,
Missoula and Deer Lodge counties, vice
Capt. John Mccormick, a Democratic ap-
pointse. The knowledge OF the appoint
ment. however. was kept to themselves by
those in the secret, as it was not to 20 into
effect until Dec. l.. Yesterday morning
Capt. Wyman was formally indicted into
office by his predecessor and all the effects
turned over to him.
CAPT. Wyman is certainly entitled 10 the
position as a reward for party fidelity, as
he has at all times been q consistent and
o~utspoken Republican and has ALWAYS
labored for the success of the party. His
appointment will undoubtedly give salts.
faction to everybody regardless of party
affiliations. He will certainly prove an
efficient and decidedly popular officer.
His predecessor retires from the Office
with an enviable record as an honorable
and efficient officer who conducted the
office in a which not only proved sat.
lsfactory to his superiors but to the public
as well, and when retiring from service yes.
terday he did so with the continued respect
esteem OF everybody with whom he
came into contact.

CALIFORNIA; Boom in Gold Mining.

Virginia City Enterprise: California
should soon show q large increase in her
annual yield OF gold. More rich strikes are
now being reported in that state than for
years. The strikes are not confined to any
one section, but are taking place in all
parts OF the state. The Californians ap.
pear to nave taken a fresh start in pros.
pecting and they are making no end of
valuable discoveries. Not a few OF these
"finds," and some of the most valuable,
are being made in mines abandoned years
ago after being p~rospected in the hallway
manner then practiced. In these days q
miner does not throw up the sponge il the
part of a vein tapped by his tunnel fails to
show paying ore; he drifts along it until he
finds q chimney. A quartz vein that pros
poets sufficiently well on the surface to
justify the running OF a tunnel is pretty
sure to contain pockets or chimneys Of
ore at some point below. In the
o seen in quartz mining
California many big paying
mines will undoubtedly be added to the
long list of steady and reliable pro-

The Oden.

The Oden claim, situated in Dublin gulch,
has been leased to Messrs. Riley, Whitman
and Small, who are o busily engaged
taking the water out Of the shaft prepara
tory to extracting some rich ore which is
known to be in the levels OF the property.
The Oden has not been worked since
last winter, at which time some
ore running from 800 to 500
ounces silver per ton was taken
out. When work was suspended the shaft
was down 220 feet, and cresscuts and
levels run from both the 100 and 200. foot
stations. The present lessees have 1870
feet OF water to take out OF the shaft. and
although they have been pumping at it
since last Sunday. it will require about
two days more to reach the bottom, At
present the water is being pumped out by
steam and is also boisted by means OF a
1OO.gallon valve bucket. The men are &C.
quainted with the lower workings of the
mine, and are confident that when thew
are reached their efforts will be rewarded
by the discovery OF a body OF good ore.

The Harris Fraction.

Billy Harris & Co., who own what ia
known as the Harris Fraction, south oil
the Harris-Lloyd tunnel, are getting ready
to commence operations on a more extern.
sive scale than has heretofore been carried
on at this prospect. The shaft has been
sunk to a depth of $50 feet and a crosscut

sufficient quantity to pay largely. a large
boiler has been secured and placed
in position and negotiations are
now pending for a new hoist with power
enough to enable them to sink uninterrupt.

Copper Market.

ingly strong in tone during the whole Of the

marked an important Improvement in
values. It is understood that sales Of lake
copper have been effected as high as 13A
cents per pound, but whether or not that
figure has yet been paid for any consider.
able quantities we are unable to say. The
producing companies are very reluctant to
satisfactory condition in regard to the or.
ders on their books. Glad as we are to be
able to report this continued buoyancy,
and TO note the many encouraging signs of
expanding consumption, and the hopeful
prospects Of trade in general, it may still
be wise to adopt a little caution in regard
to the recent rapid rise in prices, for we
cannot but fear that values have
advanced rather too quickly in view
Of all the contingencies that may
have an important influence OF them for
some time to come, and it must not be for
gotten that the stocks OF copper in. ware
houses belonging to foreign bankers are
still in existence and may be placed on the
market at any moment.
