OKLAHOMA TERRITORY POLITICS.
| Special to the Gazette.
GUTHRIE, o: IT,, Aug. 24.-The cleo
tion yesterday passed off very quietly /,
and with but little interest being mani
tested, especially by the Democrats.
From the returns SO far received
throughout the territory the election of
Coulson, Republican. for representative
at-large seems probable. In this city
the Democratic vote fell of 800 from the
vote of the last election. The cause Is
attributed to dissatisfaction with their
candidate as TO his probable atti-
tude on the capital question and
the detection from its ranks of those IN
sympathy with the peoples movement.
The Republicans claim Col. Coulson 8
majority to be from 200 to 300, while the
Democrats insist it will be less than the
poet of the legislature now appears the
Republicans will have q majority Of one
in the council and two in the house.
The legislature meets next Wednesday.
Members are beginning to arrive, and
cauoussing is the order of the day.

The Famous sixty-Mile Race-Time Made,
Hours and 28 Minutes.

I'VE herewith present the original account
of the famous race between the horses,
"Ltzard" and "Billy Bay" which took place
at Deer Lodge in November, 1870. 1t has
created considerable discussion In the East
of late, and by many is doubted. DR.. A, H.
Mitchell, Hon. r. s. Kelley, Hon. Orren
Emerson, Messrs. Thomas Stuart and George
8. Miller, Of Deer Lodge, VIM. Hammond,
of Philipsburg, and many Others. now resi-
dent of Montana, were eye-witnesses Of the
contest. W. W. Dixon, Hiram Knowles
and Thomas L. Napton were the judges Of
the race. Mr.. Napton is now dead. But
these gentlemen were then, as the survivors
are now, among the most honorable men of
Montana, Judge Knowles being at the pres
ent time Judge of the United States District
Court. Capt. James H. Mills, Collector of
Internal Revenue, at Helena, Montana, who
wrote the account, can vouch for its truthful,
ness, as can any of the gentlemen above
named who are living. The history of the
horses, so far as ascertained outside of what
appears in the published articles, is as fol
lows: Lizard was bred and raised by John
Deschneau, of upper Deer Lodge valley.
His sire was a horse known as Pappoose, a
very blood like looking animal, a blood bay
about Is; hands and weighing about 1,1of
| pounds. He was stolen by the Indians or
the old emigrant road when colt in 1858 OF
80, and after wards falling into the hands OF
some Indian traders, of whom he was pur
chased by Mr.. Louis Demars, and brought te
Deer Lodge about 1868, and afterwards be
longing to James Stuart. Billy Bay was {
! half brother of Lizard, aud was raised b.,

MuTiNEERs OF THE BOUNTY.
Their Descendants on Pitcairn Island Heard
From by Letter.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-The most in
deiphia postoilicc has been landed here by
the bark Carrie Winslow from Valparaiso,
Chilli. 1t contained a bundle of letters
written by 120 persons, composing the
population Of Pitcairn Island, whose lonely
home in the South Pacific Ocean is so far
out of the path of travel that masters of
vessels trading on the Pacific rarely sight
it. Capt. Barrett, of the Carrie Winslow,
says that while beating down in the Pacific
trade winds, he was hailed by two boat
loads of men who wanted to board his yes
sci. Their boats were full of tropical fruits
which they offered to exchange for any
thing there might be on board the bark.
The men said they were the descendants
Bounty. Capt. Barrett insisted on seeing
some of the young women of the island,
and in short time three girls-Miss
Young, Miss Mccoy and Miss Christian
were brought on board with presents of
fowls, eggs and fruit. Articles of clothing,
flour, etc., were given in exchange. The
island mail was soon written and sent on
board. The islanders stated that their only
fear was that their ocean home would be-
come populated. 1t is only three and
half miles long and mile wide, and is
incapable Of producing much more than
enough to supply the wants of its present
population.

WE would suggest to the members Of the
Board of County Commissioners that they
have calendar or docket on which shall
be entered all the claims and cases which
come before them, and in the order in
which they come, and that they adopt
rules for the government Of their business
Heretofore the Board has had no system
whatever for the transaction Of its business,
and 1t is difficult for any person, even the
members themselves, to tell at any given
time during sitting what has been done
and what is to be done. Claims and other
matters are stuck away in drawers and in
confusion, and no record of anything is
made until the clerk enters the action of
the Board. It is not meant that the Board
settle and decide every matter in its order
on the calendar. The Board can pass from
one matter to another as they see fit but
their calendar will always show them inst
how they stand with their business. The
calendar could be made up by the clerk
before the Board meets; and good rule
would be that no claim should be consid-
cred at any regular or special session unless
it had been filed on or before the first day
of that session. Our Board is composed
of three of our best business men, and we
think they will see that some system is
necessary for the orderly and rapid con-
duct of the now growing business which
comes before them.

* AMlCABLY ADJUSTED. WIZ
The Difficulties Between the Granite Mountain
Company and the Miners Union Adjusted.

The Inter Mo7'ataM says: For some lime
past it has been generally known that trouble
existed between the Miners Unlou at Gran
ite and the Granite NJ ountain Mining Com
pany. A review of the differences existing
between the men and Snpt Weir, Of the
company, is unnecessary at present, but it is
sufficient to say that matters had reached
such a point that it was believed an AMIGA
Bile adjustment of the differences was impos.
sihle, and 4 strike was pending which would
have thrown the greateSt silver mine in the
world out of active operation for a time at
least, The Butte Miners Union has all
along been advised of the state of affairs, and
Mr.. Patrick Boland was last week selected
as all arbitcr to go to Granite and treat with
the officers of the Granite company on be-
half of the Union. On Friday morning MIR.
Boland departed for Philipsburg OH this
errand, and he returned to day with the sat
isfactory announcement that all differences
had been amicably adjusted. He found that
so much had feeling had hetn ense1dered
that the committee of the Miners Union re
fused to treat with Supt. Weir and President
Rumsey, Vice President Ewing and Stcre-
tary Fusz, of the Granite Mountain COM
pany, had been summoned from st, Louis.
Mr., Bolanh's conference was direct with
them, aud as result everything claime,i by
the Union was conceded. President Ramsey
defined the policy of the company fully. He
said that in the future the company would
net care who were Union men and who were
not; the secretary of the Union might use
all lawful means and opportunities to induce
miners to join the Union and that no in
ducemcnts would be held out by the com
pany to any miner not to join the Union.
President Rumsey said the company would
srnto it that this policy was carried out, and
if Snpt. Weir did not enforce it, the com
pany would find superintendent who
would.
All difficulties are thus satisfactorily at
,jused and the greatest credit is due not only
to Mr., Buland, who managed the negotia-
tions with conservatism and great discretion,
but also to Mr. James Giliillan, President of
the Granite Miners Union, whose conduct
has been most admirable.

On Friday of last week, at Butte, James
McCloskcy ended his life by shooting him
self through the head with revolver. lie
was well known miner and prospcctor,
and had been in Montana for the last %
years He had been Il resident of Butte
and vicinity since 1879, and during the past
few years had been interested i'll number
OF prospects in the Park Canyon district.
For some months past he had been living
with his two brothers, John and Henry
McCloskey, in n cabin not far from the
Homestakc mine, in Park canyon. For
some weeks past James McCloskey had
been in bad health, and this fact had rem
dered him despondent, even to the verge
of insanity. On that dayhis brother Henry
was in Butte on business, and John re-
mained at home with the Invalid. At about
II o'clock John went to cut some wood to
heat the house. He had been outside OF
the cabin but fow seconds when he henrd
the report of gun, and rushing in was
horrlfied to find that his brother had shot
himself through the head with large re-
volver which had been allowed to remain
Ia the cabin.

Eutte's Principal Industries

The following is a statement of the min
ing industries and other products of Butte
City, Montana, prepared for the business
mems meeting of that city, held on March
1st, under the auspices of the board OF
trade, for the purpose Of urging upon Con.
public building in that city commen
surate with the population and business OF
the city:
Within radius of two miles from the
heart Of the city there are located and ir
active operation, ten great mills and smell
ters, being among the largest in existence
engaged in treating ores furnished by 10(
mines within the same area. These mines
yield daily average of 1000 tons Of crude
ore, which is four-sevenchs of the daily orc
productions of the entire State. They em
ploy G,000 men in various capacities, whose
monthly wages aggregate the enormous
sum of 100000. This does not take into
accoun. the great number of men employed
by the railroad companies and those en-
gagged in business and mercantile pursuits
within the city.
Within an area covering four miles
square, including Butte City, there are
more than 5000 mining locations, and i1
the same area, over 1900 patented mining
claims.
The chief source of wealth in the State
of Montana is mining. For the year 1880
the output Of base and precious metals fol-
the State was about S40,000,000. Of this
amount the mines and mills and smelters
of Butte and vicinity, according to officia
reports, yielded $2s,00o0O0. The produc
of this district in 1881 was $1,250,000. The
total product Of the Butte district in the
last ten years has been over $100,000,000
Within stones throw Of Butte is located
the greatest copper mine in the world, the
famous Anaconda, upon which, including
its reduction works, there have been ex
pended many millions of dollars, which
gives employment at the mines and smeltel
to 5000 men, and whose last years outpu
of copper exceeded that of any other mine
in the world. In the Butte district there
are in active operation 100 mines, whose
development has reached a depth Of from
100 to 14OO feet. These have demonstrated
beyond question the permanency Of oul
vein system. The best mining and geo
logical experts Of the country predict ;
long era of production and prosperity, ant
as result, the greatest confidence prevails
and millions of dollars are being annually
invested in mining ventures in this distric
with the most gratifying results.

THE IRRIGATION BILLS.
Poor Chances for Securing Assistance Fro
Congress During the Present Session.

WAsrIlSGToS, March 2--Major Powell
talks upon the subject of irrigation every
Saturday night at the rooms of the Western
Congressional Association. The members
of Congress who are generally interested
in irrigation attend these lectures and be-
come more and more convinced that Con-
gress should take some action looking to
the reclamation of arid lands, but the effect
Of these lectures does not extend to the
Eastern and Southern Congressman who
will vote on the question when it is brought
before Congress. All the talk this session
will result in little but agitation. Small
sums may be voted to continue the surveys
and to extend surveys to States that have
not yet been considered, but as to getting
any considerable sum for actual work there
is little or no prospect of success. The
great demand upon the treasury this ses-
sion will hold back all bills which are re-
garded rs appropriations for useless i'm
prorements, and that is the way irrigation
is regarded by many Of the Congressman.
There are so many States which have vast
quantities of land which they believe is
fertile and should he settled before the
arid Western plains are reclaimed at the
Governments expense. 1t cannot be said
that the men most interested in irrigation
are doing all they can for it, though the
members of the Senate committee, Senators
Casey and Moody, have matters we'll in
he, ,,,I to, rin
ton; but the irrigationists as u whole are
not moving with that activity and earnest
ness that accomplishes great results. They
have too many matters of their own to look
nfter-too much in the way of local legis-
lation. Added to this the mountain size
pile of appropriations asked, the demand
for a reduction in the tariff, and there is an
explanation why irrigation matters will
rest quietly for some time to come.
