MINING NOTES.

New York parties are negotiating for the
Prospect mine near Virginia City. and the
deal will probably be contaminated In a
short time.
The daily output OF coal from the Sand
Coulee mines now averages I'd cars or $50
tons. The coal company IL now drilling
for N lower seam which from all indica-
lions they will strike before they drill 100
feet further. The hole is now down some
thing like $50 feet.
Charles Walter, of the firm of Henry
Filing x CO., Sheridan, who was In Vir-
cinia City last week, informed the Mad
isonian that a body Of high grade ore nine
feet wide was struck last week in the lower
level Of the Toledo mine. The owners
are greatly elated over their good luck and
the whole community Is rejoicing with
them.
Bob Mcconnell and Charley Mckee
Of Sheridan, are reported To have discov-
cred a very rich gold lead at the hend of
Indian creek, some eight or ten miles
above Sheridan. We have not learned
the extent of the find, but The quartz
taken from il is aid to show more free
gold than has ever been found in any
heretofore taken from the many fabu-
lousy rich veins that nave been worked
in that locality.-Mddisonidn.
The Snow Bank Mining company have
one OF the most promising prospects In
Mcagber county. II is situated on the
very summit of the range between Smith
river and the Missoula valley, and there
Is no possibility of the lead being a slide.
The ore found Is very rich,a n there Is q
strong probability of a big strike being
made at an early day. The treasury stock
placed upon the market has all been
taken aud work Is progressing steadily.

The camp is situated in the Castle
mountains at the head of Smith and Mus

from Townsend and Livingston. the near

The town Is built ON Castle creek and
the main street is n eulcb, The houses
on one side are built into the rnounta i'm
and on the other side out into space or on
stills. The town contains GOO or 200 peo-
pie, with perhaps as many more In the
mountains prospecting.
Lots are worth on Main street from $500

ore In this mine.
The Yellowstone, Hidden Treasure,
etc, are seemingly good properties, and
the owners seemed well pleased with
them. One great drawback beside the
present impossibility Of reducing ore is
that all the mines in this section are
canned with iron from three to ITO feet,
and one Is compelled to break through IL
before any pay rock can be found. The
only way by which the mines can be
worked Is by men with capital, as the
mines do not pay from the top as in Butte
and other ramps In Montana that carry
pay from the grass roots.

Sparrow Pie.

FOH Iu0 lOuQOu dlOUo.l
 Although not the best of fare, spsrrows are not to be despised as an addition to poor folks dietary. It seems odd, therefore, that the bird should 90 abound in some parts of the kingdom as to be considered almost as great pest as the rabbit in Australia. Why does not Hodge sally forth, gun in hand, and bring home e fine meat meal for his starving familys Simply because the game would not pay for the candle; every sparrow v bagged would cost more than it was worth. A far more economical method of making bag is, however, recommended by a correspondent of a Yorkshire paper. Having steeped a quantity of rice in whisky or rum, scatter the grains about at some place much fre- quentsd by sparrows. The knowing little bird has a weakness for stimulants, and in @ very short time not grain will be left un- devoured. But the sparrows, shockingly in- ebriated, cannot rise on the approach of the fowler, who picks them up at his leisure, re- beating the operation until he has secured enough for family pie. The cost is said to be next to nothing, and success absolutely There is the pandering to an unholy craving, there is downright fraud on confiding bird, and-who shall sayi-there is the chance of eternal perdition for feathered sinners cut off in their favorite sin. And all this merely to provide food for few human beings. The end does not justify the means, and we feel assured that every Hodge who respects himself would far rather drink the rum or whisky himself than put it to such unworthy use. His virtuous stomach would revolt at sparrow pie, however deftly nevertheless, to be an appetizing and nutri. tious dish when the birds are stuffed with bread crumbs and repose on layer of steak to make gravy.
