Castle Notes..

The Cumberland mine employ over sixty
men in their different workings and are
pushing things with rapidity, and will have
one of the best equipped mines in the state,
and if We are not mistaken one of the
largest ore producers, too, says the Re-
porter.
The California people are sinking their
shaft deeper, and when the depth ia reached
we think this will be one of the great mines
of the camp. They have been prosecuting
through the ore body. and it is found to be
rich and extensive.
Very fatterinR reports came in from the
American last evening, and we were told by
an old time prospeotor that the day was
not far distant when the American would
be the best paying property in the camp.
The American Mining company has ON
ployed Mr.. w. A. Davis to find the lead
from which comes the rich float that has
been found on their claims, and he thinks
he has it already. If that should prove
correct the American stock is likely to ad-
vance briskly soon. If they only ind a
small vein of this rich ore, it will make a
very valuable mine.
The Yellowstone Mining company expect
to be down 600 feet by spring, and then
they. too, can show to the world ore bodies
wonderful to behold. Tho owners Of this
property have always regarded this as one
OF the best mines in Castle. and all they
have to do 10 to show this mine up TO prove
that their judgment is correct.
Our merchants are experiencing great
difficulty at present, owing to tho scarcity
Of freight teams to haul their goods from
Livingston, and it is reported that over
10000 pounds is lying in the freight Office
consigned to Castle merchants awaitina
freiehters. One per cent Per pound il be-
ing offered, and the Cumberland offers 81
Per ton for ore 90 that teams can be loaded
zach way.

The business of the Northern Pacific rail
road at Missoula is now averaging sc. OK

year.
II. P. Clark. Northern Pacific agent al
Missoula, was rendered the position of
agent at the Helena depot last week, but
refused.

Northern railroad. with headquarters at

connected with the freight department..
Castle is now central point upon which
the various railroads are calculating. The
new neld bids fair to be q slayer, and the
Canada narrow guage from Great Falls
bids fair to be the first road into the new
field.
Work is progressing favorably on the
Seattle branch, ECO men being employed.

Different Signals Given by Flags. y

To 'sstrike a flag" is to lower the ma.
tional colors in token Of submission.
Flags are used as the signal of rank
and command, the officers using them
being called flag officers; such flags arH
square, to distinguish them from other
banners.
A ''1ag of truce'' is a white flag dis
played to an enemy to indicate a desire
for a parley OF consultation.
The white flag is a sign Of peace.
After a battle parties of both sides often
90 out to the field to rescue the wounded
OF bury the dead under the protection Of
a white flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance, aud
is often used by revolutionists. In gu.
service it is a mark of danger, and shows
a vessel to be receiving or discharging
her powder.
The black flag is a sign of piracy.
The yellow flag shows a vessel to be at
quarantine, or is the sign of contagious
disease.
A flag at half mast means mourning.
Fishing and other vessels return with a
flag at half mast to announce the loss or
death OF some of the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering it slightly
and then hosting it again, to salute a
vessel or fort.
If the President Of the United States
goes adoat the American flag is carried
in the bows of his barge or hoisted at
the main of the vessel on board of which.
he is.-Jurn0l of Education.

Skin Of a Big Rattlesnake.

The skin shed by a rattlesnake which
vas found on the bank of the Illinois
River and is now preserved at a boys
seminary at Tahlequah, in the Indian
Territory, measures thirteen feet long, i
fourteen and seven-eighths inches in cir
Canference and has fifteen buttons. The
person who has examined, measured and
reports upon it says that it is a very dry
akin, and therefore assumes that it pro-
badly shrunk considerably in drying, but
this is not 30, as the skin of a snake is
thoroughly dry when shed, and conse-
qaently represents the full size of the
snake. Atany rate this one is big enough
without claiming any such allowance and
represents q poisoning power which it
would take at least a barrel of old bourbon
g counteract.-SeattA (Was6.) Post

$4,000 FOUND IN AN ASH BARREL.

A New York rag picker is reported to
have found $4,000 in g~reonhacks in an ash
barrel. This was a rare piece of good luck,
but how much more fortunate is the sufferer
from consumption who learns that, although
the doctors may ave pronounced his case
hopeless, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will euro him. Consumption is a
scrofulous disease of tho lungs. The Dis
purifier of the age, strikes right at the root
OF the evil and there is no resisting it, if
taken in time and given a fair trial. In
the cure of all scrofulous and other blood
Saints, no matter from what cause arising,
scalp diseases, old sores and Swellings, it
absolutely has no equal.

Where HOLSTERS Abound.

The best lobster ground in the world
is the northeastern coast of New England,
its shoals, bays, inlets and rocks supply
ing the lobster to perfection with all it re-
quires for feeding and breeding places and
protection against its enemies, said a New
York fish dealer to a Sun reporter. "Dur-
ing the ordinary winters that visit the
coast of Maine the lobster remains in
water as deep as thirty-fve fathons, where
he is safe from the effects Of the fierce
gales that sweep the sea there, and from
the dangers of ice foes that grind against
the bottom in the shallower water. In
warm and fair weather, though, the lob
ster is found in water as shallow as three
fathoms.n
