CASTLE, Dec. 13.-[Special.l AS extern
siye and rich as are the Castle mines, there
is every reason to believe that in the yicini-
ty there are properties as rich, if not as ex-
tensive, as those of this district. Nearest
us and within twelve or fifteen miles are the
mines and claims of Copperopolis. This
district was discovered while the placer
mines in Confederate gulch were producing
their millions of gold dust. A number of
claims were located and some buildings
erected. The claims were being worked.
when the Indians appeared in considerable
force and the miners were frightened and
left. The Indians burned the cabins.
But little further work was done there till
this summer. though one claim was patent
ed. During the past summer considerable
work was done, and number of locations
made. and there is every reason to believe
that this district will show up we'll az a
producer. The copper ore contains consid.
although the leads SO ia. found are NOT
large. More development work will bs
done next year and in one year from nov
its value will be much better known,

Every Person is Complaining of Hard
Times.
And when times are hard and money hard
to get we should all try to make the al
mighty dollar 20 as far as We can, and
among the poor people we certainly should
think they would see the necessity of max
ing 1T go az far as possible. We all have to
eat, and it is acknowledged by all that the
A. r. Gates Grocery company are selling
better goods and more of them for the
same money than any other house in Hell
ens. We are making reduction on price of
groceries. Almost every day prices are
being reduced in the eastern market and
this live firm 60 down with them. les no
use for the old credit houses to try to COM
pete with them. Spot cash both ways
makes low prices. This firm will always be
in the lead with low prices. They are the
poor mans friend. Prices of groceries are
much lower in Helena to-day than thew
were six months ago, and no matter what
prices the old houses make you, if YOU only
go to the A. X. Gates Grocery company
they will save you many dollars in the
course OF year. Now We ask you to give
them trial for one month and SEQ the
difference. Remember, they credit no per
son, but sell tor cash, and, as the old
credit houses say they are losing money:
but what if they do? If they do it is your
gain, If you buy of them.

10 the Christians of Helena: II may not
De generally known by the good people Of
helena that they have o jail in which it is
impossible to be confined for twenty-four
hours without becoming abominably lousy;
but such is the case. The writer's only
motive in making this statement is to re-
mind the people, whom he trusts wants to see
justice done. that they have such jail.
and to urge them as brothers, for their
own welfare, If for no other reason. to take
steps to right this wrong. II is ridiculous
TO claim that county Jail cannot be kept
clean. for many are and but with little ex-
pense. Does any reasonable man claim
that man can be morally reformed by
merely locking him in vermin rid
den cell and then turn him adrift
when his term of imprisonment has ex
pred with nothing but the lousy clothes
he wore while in Jail. Then, what ia the
object of imprisonment? Is it only to sat
isfy revenge? 1t must be plain to any
thoughtful man. who thinks, that the object
of imprisonment should be to reform rather
than to satisfy revenge. that it is only part
OF that reform to furnish man on his re-
lease with clean warm clothes, at least, to
protect him from the weather till he 10 able

only the clothes he wears. Even if he is
willing to work, and is fortunate enough to
get II at once, he breads to take it for the
reason that he must either admit that he is
covered with lice, or else make his fellow
workmen lousy. And permit me to say
here, that this is very often the reason that
men refuse work, and are roundly abused
for it. If he is not fortunate in get
steal. Few men will starve in country
where there is plenty. II he begs he ls
liable to reimprisonment, but if he steals,
he neither has to acknowledge his condition
nor ask that which is generally so grudQ-
ingly given. Which, then is the most nat
ural thing for him to do? Ia he wholly to
blame If he does steal? Keeping in mind
the fact that a Christian people. who pro-
TESS to fear One, who says Revenge is
mine," have kept him confined in loath-
some Jail, where it was impossible for him
to keep even his body clean. Can the crim-
inal be expected to be first to forgive? Let
us remember that our Savior said. shat he
who breaks one commandment, breaks
them all. 1t is needless to say We have all
broken some commandment.
In closing let me ask, Is it not quite pos
sible that Almighty God who knows the
heart of the poor criminal, forgives him the
commit, and charges it to those who neg
lect to interest themselves in the welfare of
their unfortunate brother. BROTHER.

The subject of this sensation is the new
piano tuner, Mr.. J. H. Zimmerman, who
has just arrived from the east and is now
connected with Jackson's music house, Of
this city. Mr., Zimmerman was recon-
mended to Mr.. jackson as first class
tuner, and upon investigation by the latter
on his eastern tour was not only found to
be frst-class, but an artist in his profession
throughout and an entire gentleman. He
has perfect knowledge of the piano and
its belongings, being capable of tuning,
toning, voicing and repairing, regulating,
rebushing or recapping the action-in fact,
everything that pertains to piano making.
he has made the piano life study and has
no superior in action work, which is of as
much or of more Importance than
tuning to the piano, as this is the life
or wear OF the instrument. Any one having
piano cannot afford to let an incompetent
man ruin it; therefore it pays to have the
pest when at the same time they are the
lowest. Mr.: Zimmerman has also the repu-
tatlon OF being very prompt, and any orders
left at the store, in the Bailey block on
Main street. will receive prompt and careful
attention: Any person being very part,cu-
lar with their piano, or having any critical
faults with their instrument will do we'll to
employ the above tuner, who has come here
to stay. He has in time past been concert
tuner Tor some of our leading artistes and is
sure to please, and il you will have him once
you will never do without him. II ia n
pleasure to know your piano is Entrusted to
safe hands. Give him a trial and you shall
be satisfied for yourself. Mr.. Jackson GUAR
antees all his work satisfactory; il it doesn't
prove SO all money will be cheerfully re-
funded.

A Card.


The undersigned respectfully Announce
to the people of Helena, that thew have
opened fine retail candy store. We ara
two practical confectioners of twenty veara
experience; have always catered to the most
cultured taste wherever located. Our spe-
cialtles are the finest home made candies
cakes. ice cream and ices for parties, we'd
dings etc. We respectfully solicit a trial
of our goods, feeling confident we are able
to please.
Owing to unavoidable circumstances and
a desire to introduce our goods during the
holiday season, our temporary location at
present is 81 Main street south. Our ner-
manent location, after January l, 1891, will
be the store room at 10 Novelty block. now
occupied by Mr.. Goldberg, the jeweler.
Hoping to receive share of the peoples
same. Respectfully,

predict that many GOOD mines will be
opened on Newlan creek.
Claims have also been located along

that 10 about twenty miles from each and
twenty I'VE miles from Castle. The road il
good from the Springs to tho claims, and
railroad line would add greatly to their
importance.
Particular attention 10 called to these
claims to show the people of Helena the
value VA OF the eastern part of Meagher county.
Inc Developments here are now in their
infancy what they will be in their prime
can only be conjectured. Certain it is that
while the business of Castle alone would
justify the people of Helena in building a
road to connect it with their city, in a few
years the whole eastern part of the county
, w,ll pc filied with miners, and how will the
people OF Helena get and retain the trade
OF this region without railroad directly
connecting them with it? A railroad to
Livingston would take the trade Of this
region out of the control Of Helena. and fix
It with the markets of Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Chicago. What are the people of
Helena doing to secure a direct railroad
which will put the trade of SO rich coun-
try at her very doors?
The failure of Bacon & Commander here
seems to have been more the result of .
difference between the partners than be-
Gauss OF any want of ability of the firm to
meet its obligations. It ia believed that
within short time the firm. perhaps under
q new name, will have adjusted Its affairs
and be doing business again.
The new hoist of the Cumberland, one of
the best in the state, will soon be at work
and sinking on the new three compartment
shaft will be steadily continued until it is
down to the 5O0-foot level Of the mine,
which will be connected with it by = tunnel.
A national bank, under the direction Of
Mr.: II. H. Mund, the we'll known banker of
Billings. will be opened here in January.
The evidences of Castles advancement are
continually manifesting themselves.
Already the interest the people of sur
rounding towns are taking in Castle is be-
ing manifested. and early in the spring
many people now residing in Bozeman.
Livingston and Billings will he located in
Castle, doing business here. Castle, Nei-
hart, Barker and Cooke City, when reached
by railroads, will show that the production
OF the precious metals is not confined to
tho west Of the Rocky mountains.
