pressed the trigger something attracted my

OF the creek. / thought ! could

aim, shut both eyes and fired. Right there
something happened which il a wonder to
the world. The gun exploded, the charge
went across and killed the bear, one barrel
went up and killed the I'll ducks, the other
barrel went down and killed tho $3.50 grouse,
the lock fell into a rattlesnake's mouth and
choked him to death. the stock of the gun
stuck into n maple tree and fifty pounds

Heavy Bullion Shipments.

Bullion from the Cumberland mine at
Castle still oontinues to arrive for shipment
to the reduction works at Mansfield. Pa.
The receipts the past month have greatly
exceeded all former records made by the
company, aggregatina twenty-four carloads
as against eleven carloads for January. So
far lbs carloads have been received at this
place and forwarded to the east since tho
smelter was started in June last. The re-
port that the change in management would
result in a shut Town of the smelter is

In the Boulder District.

VIM. Thoreson, manager of the Hidden
Treasure Mining company came in from
the Boulder lamp Tuesday, says the Liv-
ingston Enterprise, bringing with him a
quantity of retort as q result of recent runs
of this company's ten stamp mill. MI,
Thoreson states that Notwithstanding the
heavy snowfall of the past winter in the
Boulder district. that has interfered with
milling operations. the result of the runs
made by the Hidden Treasure COMPANY
have been highly satisfactory. Develop
ment work Upon the Hidden Treasure,
Independence and Daisy mines has been
prosecuted during the winter. In the latter
property the ore body was encountered last
week, disclosing a four foot vein of rich
free milling rock. Other properties are
looking we'll and all Indications are that
the coming season will bs the ~liveliest in

COL. JOHN DoYLE's FIND.

He Has Struck a Big Flow of Vinegar in
Beaverhead County.
Col. John DOYLE was down in Beaverhead
county the other day on r prospecting trip.
On his return to Butte a Standard reporter
asked him what luck he had, and this is
tho story he told:
"Yes. it is true" said he, 'that 7 have
struck a big flow of vinegar in one of the
prospect holes, and l consider it the great
est find ever made in the state. Some are
inclined to regard such a discovery as re-
markable but it really is not when il is re-
membered that in Colorado a spring of de-
licious vegetable soup has been found, and
in Iowa a mine of a fair quality of SOAP.
Nothing. is remarkable for Montana. The
vinegar stream for years. and have used
1t as q beverage. and it has often been
spoken of by them but never believed
until l accidentally discovered it about a
week ago. As soon az the facts were dem
onstrated had no trouble in organizing the
"Beaverhead Vinegar Mining companv''
and stock the claim for 81, 900. 900. The
stock was all subscribed for at the first
meeting. and there is none of it for sale,
The we'll is at present down thirty-tive feet
and flows four inches of vinegar, eaual in
quality and flavor to the best product from
apples. All OF 1t ls at present going to
waste, but the company is making active
preparations to put it up in barrels. If the
now continues 1T IL our intention to put in
a bottllng and picking plant in the spring.
Inc entlre surrounding country hns been
taken mp and will be turned into cucumber
ranches next summer, and the vinegar will
be used for irrigating purposes. You will
readily see into the scheme, which is to
poke the cucnmbers right on the vine.
The company will also go into the stock
raising business and feed the product OF
our mine to the animals, and thus raise
plokled tripe and pigs feet right on tina
hoof. II is bonhd to be q great thing, and
there will be more than millions in it. We
also expect to inauguratc a new method
OF making sauerkraut, by irri-
eating cnbbnge patches with vim
egar. strange but actual fact
connected with tho merits of
our discovery is that it is a remarkable hair
lnvigorator, and / believe it void grow a
crop of hair on a billiard ball. We intend
to hottie some and put it on the market for
that purpose. Work on the nine ia still
going on, and if our least expectations are
realized. pipe lines will be built to the lead
Ing cities OF tho state to supply the demand.

tact with DIR. Hammond, who thought
whore they were, and how he would do to
get at them, Mr.. King then led Mr.. VIM

CUTTING DOWN DIVIDENDS

Pay Eighty Thousand Dollars
During March.
COST OF improvements and the
Low Price Of Silver Given
Oh, the Cause.
Report of the Montana Company Rich
strike in Madison COunty--Cunbcr-
land Bullion Shipments.

A few months ngo the stockholders Of tho
Granite Mountain Mining company were
surprised by the announcement that the
dividends had been reduced from fifty
cents a share. or 100000 per month, to
twenty-five cents a shnre, or 100000 per
month. When these same stockholders re-
ceive their dividend checks on the tenth
day of next month they will also receive n
circular which will inform them that the
trustees, at their regular dividend meeting,
had decided after mature deliberation to
mako another reduction, and had cut the
monthly dividend $4,000, aad had declared
ono of twenty cents q share, OF $4,000.
President Rnmsey. when asked for an OK,
PLANTATION OF the action of the trustees,
stated that the cut was only temporary,
and it is more than probable that the next
dividend would be twenty-five cents.
"There are good and sufficient reasons
for the action of the trustees" continued
President Rumsey. "While tie mines
output for the past eight weeks has aver
aged 5000 nnces per week, n vast amount
of money has been expended for extra and
permanent improvements. At mill G, in
addition to the ten new stamps, our new

entire new hoist house has been erected
and a new Corliss engine has been .pur-
chased and placed III position. At tho
Rumsey tunnel, besides the work GU the
tunnel, a new compressor regular plant has
been bought. All of this has been an extra
expense that has cost the company over
$4,000. and has been taken from the re-
ceipts of the mine. Another thing that has
decided the trustees is the price of silver.
Last year we got on an average $l.04 per
ounce. but this year we get but 80 cents
per ounce, which is Il difference of nearly
16 per cent. ...~=& ...M. -- = .

Club, the Catholic Literary society. will
produce this evening Hazel Kirke at Mjno's

is found IN this society, would make many
of the p%retentious road companies much

approval. and it is to be hoped will be- ap-
preciated by a full house tonight.
