THE report comes from Oakland,
Cal, that some people of that city,
San Francisco. and the neighborhood
are selling off their property because
an earthquake has been prophesied
for April IA. The prophet is D. v.
r. Bennett, and he is modern in some
of his ideas, for he carries on the
prophesying business from the sad
die of a bicycle. He rides around
the streets of Oakland on his machine
shouting: Flee to the mountains
while there is yet time" A picture
in the San Francisco Examiner ex-
hibits him on his bicycle with Bible
in his hand and wearing tall hat
and long trousers. This ought to
reassure his hearers, for prophet
who will ride q bicycle in long trous-
ers and tall hat must be so thor
oughly off his base as to make his
prophecies very low grade article.
He saws that to one George A. Erick-
son, of Frederickshold, Norway, was
revealed q vision last January the
destruction of San Francisco, Oak
land and Alameda on April IA by
waves of the sea. Chicago and Mil
waukee are in forit, too, while Africa
is awarded pestilence, China one Of
her usual famines, and Europe a war
between England, France and Rus
STA. The end of the world, however,
is postponed until 1896 Wheeling
Re0iSfeg.

Manners of Men.

The man who has shown his capa-
bihty of taking care of himself never
lacks for others to take care of.
If man controls his wrath with
the first offender, his temper gets
that much the better of him with the
second.
About the only pleasure some men
take in knowing thing is laughing
at the ignorance of the man who does
not know it.
AT one time in a mans life he is
too young to know what he says, and
at another he is too old to say what
he knows.
Take conceit away from the aver
age man, and there is nothing left Of
him except capacity to chew victuals
and digest them.
The man who has little to do is al
ways the most popular The man
who is rushed and busy gets cross
and cranky, and is disliked more than
if he were an idle man and had time
todevote to others.-Atchison Globe.

Never drive mich COWS or fatten-
ing stock faster than a walk.
Do not allow or force mich COWS
to drink ice cold water.
You have no need of dog in
bringing the cattle home from the
pastures.
If you are unsteady inclined you
may hum in a low tone. The COW
will like it and commence ruminat.
ing.
To sell milk pays better than to
make it into butter or cheese and sell
it as solids.
If you desire your cows to do their
best at the pail, give them a change
Of feed as often as possible
After you have brushed the udder
clean, milk the cow as fast as you can
and milk her clean to the last drop.
Your COWS will certainly fall off in
their milk unless housed in warm
stable during inclement or very cold
weather.-St. Paul Globe.

Marshal Twins R.sIrnation.

In regard to Marshal Irwin, that gentle
man states positively that his resignation
has been written out, signed, sealed and
sent to the president of the United States,
with the urgent request that a successor be
appointed to take charge of the office at the
end of the fiscal year, Both of June next.
Mr.. Irwin states that the salary of
the Office is SO insignificant at
the present time that he does not care to
retain it, and for the further reason that
his family reside in Butte and all his inter
ests are there. If he retains the Office it
will be necessary to remove to Helena with
his family and neglect business of greater
personal Importance in Butte. For these
reasons he sent in his resignation. AS to
who would be his successor, he did not
know. Will Furay, of Deer Lodge, is
Candidate; also man named Doud, of
Great Falls, and probably others. He
thought the Office would pay much better
after awhile. 1t is expected that congress
VIII double the fees, and this. with increas-
ing interstate business, will make the Of
flee q very good one.

The Millview.

The property lies just south of the Poser
and is owned by p. A. Largey. 1t is now
being worked under lease by Norman Fos-
son and AL Marrow, who have sunk shaft
78 feet and run levels about GO feet east and
west of the shaft. The vein is between
and Is inches wide and is not high
grade, the character of the rock being a
black manganese. Besides the lessees
three men are employed stopping out ore
from the levels.
Messrs. Fosson & Marrow have also lust
taken a lease on the Brewery claim, On
which the Centennial brewery stands, and
will Immediately put force of men to
work on it. Considerable work has already
been done on this claim without fiattering
results, but the present lessees are conf
dent of showing up something in the near
future.

IT, net a contract to sink at the end of the

yer portion of the vein. The company ex-
poets at no distant day to com mence regu-
far shipments of ore. They have been
waiting some time to get into the mine, as
the snow is very deep where the mine is and
they experienced some trouble in getting
there yesterday. But the snow is melt
ing very fast and will be clear sailing by
the first of May. The company is on solid
financial basis and has not yet offered any
stock for sale.

The Mining Season.

The prospects for good summer in
mining were never better at this time of
the year than they are now. In most
places favored with good transportation
facilities. there is no season in mining as
the crop is harvested each month. But in
others, where the facilities for moving ore
and supplies are bad, or where mines are
located high in the mountains where SHOWS
are deep. work largely ceases in the winter,
and the summer is the harvest time. There
is perhaps more promising interest or
activity in these regions now than there
has ever been. Mr.. Henry Bratnober, who
has been visiting different mining camps
throughout Montana during the past few
weeks, confirms the general belief that this
will be the greatest mining season Montana
has ever had. There is great activity
among miners and prospectors and more
good mines are being developed than ever
before,

A Montanian in Alaska.

Capt. John j. Healy has been here the
past few days loading his schooner with
merchandise with which to replenish his
stores at Chilcat and Chilcoot, says the
Juneau Mining Record. He reports the
state of business improving at both his
stores, but yet very light. He is getting
out logs to erect a large store at Haines'
Mission the coming season. The weather
has been very severe the past winter. the
mercury having been down to Is degrees
below Zero and the quantity of snow that
has fallen is considerably more than has
buried the country adjacent to Juneau,
Captain Healy will carry several parties to
the portage who are bound for Youkon.
The climate at Chilcat appears to agree
with the captain, as he is looking much
better than when last here in the fall. Mrs.
Healy is we'll and is running the store at
Chilcat during the absence Of the captain
Mr.. Healy's son, who left here few weeks
ago in a small boat with several others, ar
rived safely at Chilcat after an uneyentful
trip occupying five days. On his next trip
Mr.. Healy expects to bring down fine lot of
Yukon furs, which are the finest found
anywhere in America.

The Belle of Butte,

On the east end of this claim Bowden d
Co. are taking little ore of an inferior
grade. The shaft is 100 feet deep, from the
bottom of which levels east and west have
been driven about 40 feet. The ore now
coming out. however. is taken from the
slopes at a depth of Is feet. It is thought
that when greater depth is attained better
quality of ore will be found. On the
west end of this claim very good quality
of ore is being extracted by the parties
working IL.

The Rise in the Price Of Silver
Producing Good Results
Among Miners.
Encouraging Reports Received
from the Silver Arrow Mining
Company's Property.
Concerning Various Properties at Butte
Organization of New Companies
Bonding and Buying Mines.

The rapid rise in the price of silver since
the proposal to repeal the restriction act
has given a great impetus to mining in
Montana. The advance has been nearly 10
cents in as many weeks and the limit is not
yet reached. If congress passes law per-
hitting unlimited coinage, Montana will
receive great mining boom. Work will
be resumed on thousands of prospects and
the greatest mining boom of the century
will be inaugurated. Lead has also taken
an upward move. The copper market is
very encouraging.

The Emma Nevada.

The capital stock of the company is
$500, 1000 shares at par value of 81 each,
says the Butte Miner. The ground which
the company proposes to work is in Soap
gulch, near Melrose. Mr.. Helehan brought
up from the mine a few days ago several
samples of ore recently taken from the
mine, assays from which, made by Joe Daft
at the request of Mr.. Duffy, superintend-
ent of the Spectator. were: No. l, 1,727
ounces silver and $12 3O-10O gold; No. 2,
s55 ounces silver and 1928 $500 gold. Be
sides the gold and silver, the rock also
gave a percentage of % 2-lO and 25 4-1O
lead.
