An Excellent Map.

The MINER desires to acknowledge the re-
ceipt OF a copy of Baker & Harper's mar
OF mining claims in the vicinity OF Butte,
The map is one of the most complete and
reliable ever issued, and will prove q valu.
able and indispensable object to every.
body interested in the minesi in this locality,
in iact mining men particularly, could not
we'll get along without it. Every claim in
this part of the territory is represented on
the map and all locations made up to with.
in a month are designated and their bound.
aries defined. In addition to all claims
near Butte proper, a portion OF the claims
located in the western part Of Jefferson
county are also shown. In a word, the
map is just what has been needed for q long
time, and the gentlemen who compiled it
are to be congratulated upon their enter
prise and skill.

on the West Side.

Dine of he Most Promising Gold Mines
on the West Side.
quantity OF ore from the Red Lion was
brought to the city by Messrs. Boyce and
Curtis. yesterday. and the gentlemen were
most enthusiastic over the outlook OF the
mine, especially iubilant was Captain Cur.
tbs who felt &C good that he jumped on top
OF q chair and embraced Green Majors, his
partner. The rock which was brought in
lie Of a peculiar formation and looks not
unlike decomposed lime stone, intermixed
with p%orphy-y. So easily milled is it that
the five-stamp mill OF the company brushes
eighteen tons every twenty-fours. Five more
stamps have been ordered and are en- route
and will be put up Immediately after
their arrival. The frames guides,
ETC., for their reception have ali been
prepared. The new discovery made in the
mine, mention OF which appeared in TIE
MINER some days ago, proves to be even
better than at first supposed. A shaft
thirty feet deep has been sunk upon the
ledge, which at that depth is fourteen feet
wide and carries ore which mills consider
ably over $50 to the ton.
Owing to the extreme s~oftness of the ore
it has been decided to change the drop OF
the stamps to eight inches, and eighty-fve
drops to the minute. This will increase
the crushing capacity OF the mill to it's
utmost, and, OF course, also greatly add to
the output OF the mine.

The English System of Tipping,

The complaint of the traveller against
the English system OF "tips" wakes every
year more bitter. 1t has become impossi.
BILE for persons OF moderate means to

How TO Restore the Freshness to Worn
Clothing and Make it Like New.
It is q mystery to many people how the
scourers OF old clothes can make them
almost as good as new. Take, for instance
q shiny old coat. vest or pair OF pants Of
b~roadcloth, cashmere or diagonal.
The scourer makes a strong. warm soap.

souses it up and down, rubs the dirty
places. II necessary puts it through q
second suds, then rinses through several
waters, and hangs it to dry on the line
When nearly dry, he take it in, rolls it up
for an hour or two, and then presses it.
An old cotton cloth is laid on the outside
OF the coat, and the iron passed over that
until the wrinkles are out; but the iron is
removed before the steam ceases to rise
from the goods, else they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are removed
by laying o wet cloth over them, and pass.
ing the iron over that. II any shiny places
are seen, they are treated as the wrinkles
are: the iron is lifted, while the full cloud oil
steam arises, and brings the nap up with it.
Cloth should always have a suds made
specially for it. as if that which has been
used for white cotton or wooden cloths, lint
will be left in the water, and cling to the
cloth. In this manner we have known the
same coat and pantaloons to be renewed
time and again. and have all the look and
feel of new garments. Good broadcloth and
it's fellow cloths will bear many ~washings,
and look bitter every time because Of
them.-[American Analyst.

with Tin Hat" ostensibly on a hunting
trip, but WILDER soon returned alone and
gave an excuse for the absence Of his part

rancher. Subsequently it was developed
that a day or two preceding the murder of
the gambler, WILDER had been engaged at
cards with him and lost all his money. in a
town called Luck.

Kindness the Only Rational Whip.


For the good of the colts give the mares
a daily feed OF bran. Treat her with the
greatest ge%ntleness and kindness. II it has
never yet been done, give her a few slices Of
apple from the hand, and make her ap'
proach you for them. The coming colt
will inherit this disposition, and can be
made as friendly and confiding as the dam
before it is a week old, and it will never for
get your kindness unless it is badly treated
afterward. In thirty years of farm work
and housekeeping the writer has never
owned or used whip, nor have L permitted
a hired man to use one, and every horse,
cow: bull or sheep, or ven mule, I have
reared has been a petted one and would
come to my hand freely. Kindness is a
good crop to SOW in a farm yard, for i,
yields in profit a hundred fold.
