THE HOLIDAY MINER.

THE MINER to-day makes its annual
bow to Its readers and wishes them a
Happy New Year." and will further say,
that, in accordance with its established
custom. 1t will also present it's HOLIDAY
MINER with the compliments of the
season. The HOLIDAY MINER will be
found, mot only an excellent and mer-
itorious work, mechanically, but also a
useful compendium Of facts and statis-
tics, gathered at the cost of much labor
and expense.
To those not conversant with the facts,
the figures presented may appear some
what exaggerated, and as the promptings
of an enthusiastic and overconfident
mind, rather than the exposition Of bare
facts susceptible Of proof In its sternest
reality. But such is not the case, as
they are the results Of careful and con
~servative calculation and are presented
as an under, rather than over-estimate
OF figures which, while all are not liter.
ally correct, are virtually 80, and go to
substantiate the claim so often made fol
Butte and Montana, that they are the
center and circumference of the richest
mining region of the world.
The aggregate output of the mines Of
Butte for the year just ended was, as
ascertained from official and semi-offcial
sources, $22,9s7, 1855, and from the re.
mainder Of the territory, $17,5OO.OOO,
making a grand total of $40,487, 1866,
placing Montana at the head of the
bullion producers of the United States,
instead Of third, which position it occu-
pied when the HOLIDAY NUMBER of last
year was issued.
With these figures the people of Butte
and Montana have good reason for CON
graduation, and especially 80 with the
prospects of even a higher and brighter
future which is in store awaiting them.
With the completion of the gigantic
works now In course OF erection at
Helena and Great Falls, and the enlarge
nent OF those already completed at
and elsewhere in the territory,
ven the present magnificent showing
will dwindle into mere insignifcance
nd win appear as lilliputian efforts
7hen compared with the possibilities
waiting successful elimination.
Leaving its readers to carefully study
'ese facts and figures, THE MINER, con-
caous that it has not oYerdrawn the
aus wishes all Of its readers a prosper

Two eyes OF brown, two eyes Of blue,
Two shadows in the evening dew,
Two hands whose pressure soft car thrill
Two hearts that throb at their sweet will
Two lips that seek to lips above,
And that is love.
Two hearts grown tired of welded bliss,
Two lips that seldom get a kiss,
Two souls aweary Of loves fare,
Two eyes that watch 1--WE eyes despair,
Two months should things still take theil

And that's divorce.

The article In yesterdays issue
called forth an inquiry from one in
terested in the business of raising
chickens as to the best method OF
keeping them free from lice. There
are many ways TO drive these
troublesome insects from the roost,
but Il has been truthfully said that
"a pound of preventative is worth
two pounds of cure " If the roost-
Ing place Is kept clean, which may
be done by washing II thoroughly
twice n week with the strongest car
bollc soap that can be procured, lice
will not appear. But If the chick
ems are already covered with this
troublesome pest take each fowl by
the legs and dust n liberal supply of
insect powder among the feathers,
especially under the wings. An on
lon cut In two is an excellent REM
edy to put under n setting hen, But
above everything else keep the floor
clean beneath the perches and well
covered with Stacked lime.
