The City in Brief.


Postmaster Kimball was sixty-eight
years old on Friday.
The sun shone brightly nearly all day
yesterday, but The clouds and the baro-
meter indicated that the storm was not at
an end.
Two or three OF the many mining pros
poets hereabOuts promise very well, and il
will not be surprising if the persistent
work now going on shall result in the open
ing of some good mines before next
spring.
Alderman Preshaw was allowed to take q
rest yesterday. The police headquarters
were as lonesome as the store of the al
legged business man who does not adver-
tise. There was not a single offender to
answer at the bar Of iustice-not even a
case Of drunk and disorderly. We are
growing good, perhaps.
There has recently been discovered,
about ten miles from here an immense sill
Yer and copper bearing lead. which will
probably be considered of sufficient merit
to warrant thorough investigation by
capitalists who are looking for good prop
erty Of that description. The ore is of low
grade, but there is large quantity of it,
and it is easy of access, and can be mined
very cheaply.
Strong drink has brought disgrace and
dishonor to another trusted young man
one James Mcdaniel, who was left in
charge of Mr.. Preshaw's business while
that gentleman was absent in the east
The young man looked upon the logwood
juice and yielded to the temptation to in
dulge his appetite. Result-he became a
thief.
The fire limits should be extended to in
clude several blocks in the central part of
the city. 1t was generally supposed that
the east side OF Washington avenue, in the
block bounded by Twenty fifth street on
the north and Twenty-sixth street on the
south, was within said fire limits, but it is
not. 1t ought to be. 1t is not right to per-
nit the erection of wooden fire traps in that
part of the city. There are too many of
them there already.
Judge Middleton, who lives on his farm
in the western suburbs of the city, saws he
has IN past years, except the last three,
been troubled with high water during the
spring months. But he says now that he
Is glad to see the snow piling up in the
mountains and the promise of plenty of
water next season, because it will prove
general blessing to the territory and bring
prosperity to all the people.
There is confined in the city Jail at the
present time very tough female citizen of
this great and glorious country, and if re-
cent reports about her are proven true
for investigation, the chances are that she
will become a resident of the pen for
term of years, along with her alleged part
ner in an alleged crime to which the city
prison officials are said to have been wit
neSseS.
Colonel James H. Mills, collector of in
ternal revenue for the district of Montana,
en- route to the silver convention at st.
Louis, came down from. his home at Deer
Lodge Friday and stopped over night in
Ogden. He went east yesterday morning.
The colonel expressed surprise and graft
tication at the great progress this city has
made since his last visit several years ago.
The action of the city council in making
move looking to the occupation of the
stable on Union square by the city for its
fire department, meets with universal COM
mendation. The building will be large
enough for all practical purposes, and can
be made very convenient. Besides, when
the fire department moves out of the pres
ent quarters in the city hall building. the
room vacated can be used as a city prison,
aad the building now used as such will
make an excellent city hospital. These
changes are in the direction of practical
economy.
