Work on the Montana Extension Being
Pushed Rapidly.
The Castle Mining Reporter of the 10th
instant contains the following items of
interest:
"It is now known for an absolute fact
that the Burlington is pushing the work
on its western extension as rapidly as
possible. The road will be in Great
Falls before the end of the present year,
and it has already perfected a traffic
agreement with the Great Northern. A
private dispatch from Gillette, Wyo.,
state, that the rails on the Montana ex.
tension are being laid at the rate of two
miles a day. A force of $500 or 1000
men is employed, and this force will
soon be doubled. With 1000 or 5000
men at work on the extension it will not
be man. weeks before the Burlington
will tap the Northern Pacific at or neal
Billings.
with a large force of men employed
in grading and tracklaying it will be
only a matter of a few months before the
new road will reach Great Falls 1t
cannot be definitely stated just what
route will be chosen, if in fact it has
already been decided upon, from the
point where the Burlington will cross
the tracks of the Northern Pacific. Two
routes have been surveyed; the most
feasible and the one that is generally
regarded as to be pursued, is that up
the Musselshell and through Judith
gap. This route will open up an i'm
mense tract of the richest farming and
grazing land in the state, as we'll as
enable the road to bid for a share of the
freights from the great carbonate camp
of Castle and the rich mining towns OF
Neihart and Barker.
"The report that the Burlington is en-.
deavoring to negotiate a big loan, with
every prospect of success. is regarded
here as a positive indication that the

state of the weather and the state OF the
ground will permit. The Burlington
people fully recognize the advantage
of having a through line to the coast
and although after the first of January
next they will undoubtedly be unable tt
reach Pacific coast points over the Great
Northern and other lines with which
they have made traffic agreements, still
they want a line of their own, and pro
pose to have one as soon as 1t can b.
constructed.

Charlie Russell. the cowboy artist,
who has been here for the past three
weeks has just completed another pic
ture which is in keeping with his pre-
yious work in that line. 1t was placed
on exhibition for the first time yesterday
in Redding n Crouse's cigar store and
many admirers of Russells pictures
dropped in to view it. The scene repre-
sents some Indians on the trail and
from the jaded expression on the face of
the old sQuaw in the lead it is evident
the journey has been long and tedious.
The party are descending IA ledge of
rocks towards a beautiful valley where
they probably intend to camp for the
night. and then resuming their tiresome

Nothing seems wanting to make the
picture perfect. The colors are not too
heavy as is otter the case with pictures

MINING NOTES.
Handsome sum Earned BY the Butte &
kpstpn CulnIInty i'm Six Mputlis

Handsome sum Earned by the Butte &
Boston Company in Six Months.
Many of the miners are working half
time in the Boston e. Montana mines.
says the Engineering and Mining journal
of the 18th. owing to the suspension of
traffic between the mines and the Great
Falls smelter. 1t will be two weeks yet
before shipments can be renewed. The
Leonard shaft is filled with 100 feet of
wator. The old water column was taken
out and a new one put in.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Butte Il Boston Mining company was
held in Butte July 6 for the purpose of
discussing the issuing of s 100000 Of
bonds, the money for which is to be
spent in rebuilding the smelter and in
the purchase of additional properties,
One hundred and ninety three thousand
two hundred shares were represented at
the meeting, 10000 being held by the
Davis estate. This block of stock was
voted against the proposition, and the
meeting was adjourned to meet in Bos-
ton July IS. According to the Butte
Daily Miner Mr.. John A. Davis. the
objector to the issue, was offered $4,000
for the 10000 shares. but the offer was
refused.
The following statement of the com-
pany's operations from Sept. J., 1888. to
April Is, 1892, was prepared by Treas
urer Bigelow for the Butte meeting of
July 6: Net receipts from 3O,3l2,Ol9
pounds fine copper, 1885,, 252.51; net re-
ceipts from 792,O3l ounces silver and
2,639 ounces of gold, S8O9,93G 10; total.

floating debt. 1t is estimated that al
outside expenditure of $4,000 will place
the plant in better condition Il an it was
before the fire, and that by the middle of
August or Sept. | next the company will
be again producing from 100000 to
100000 pounds of copper per month, on
which it was earning from $4,000 to
10000 a month, according to the price
of copper. Apart from the rebuilding
expenses our construction account is
practically closed for a long time to
come. The proposed bond program pro
vides 100000 and upward of fresh cash
capital. Therefore, when the company
resumes operations it will be in a better
condition than ever, and should, with a
fair price for copper, be able to show as
good profits as heretofore, thus not only
insuring all fixed charges, but in add
ton a balance that can be applied to-
ward the payment Of dividends"

Henry johnson, the Sand Coulee
terror. was before Judge Raca again yes
terday on two charges, both of which
were sufficiently serious to cause an or
binary man considerable apprehension
unless he felt confident of his ability to
prove his innocence. The lesser charge
was not backed by sufficient evidence to
warrant the Judge holding the prisoner
for trial. but the second charge. that Of
threatening the life of Van Cleve, was
more fully s~ubstantiated and johnson
was held for trial in the district court
and his bail fixed at 500. 1t is said that
Van Cleve, Johnson's particular enemy
and the man whose blood he is supposed
to be after, approached him after the
hearing and offered to furnish bail n
agree not to appear against him at the
trial. This was clearly an offering OF
the olive branch. but johnson refused to
accept the offer. Bail will probably be
furnished by Chris Dickinson today.
Both Van Cleve and johnson are
ranchers and it appears from reports
that they are inclined to quarrel upon
the slightest provocation. If johnson is
convicted on the charge against HIM it
will 60 hard with HIM, with a possible So
journ at Deer Lodge ahead.

MONTANA MINES,
The Output for 1S9I AS Shown by the
Mint Statistics.

The Output for 1891 AS Shown By the
Mint Statistics.
The TRIBUNE has received from the
United States Assay office in Helena a
copy of the report of the director of the
mint for the year 1891. The chapter on
the mineral output of Montana, prepared
by w. d.. Wheeler, assayer in charge of
the Helena office, contains the following
facts and figures.
The product OF precious metals in the
state for the year was. approximately:
gold, 1891, 1856; silver, 16,349,O6G fine
ounces, having a coming value of S2l, 1873,
1S6. This is a slight decrease in the pro-
duction Of gold and an increase of about
100000 ounces Of silver. 1t is true there
was a substantial increase of the placer
output in the counties of Deer Lodge,
Jefferson, Lewis g. Clarke, Meagher and
Missoula. But there was a decrease 10
the output of gold quartz properties,
especially in Lewis d Clarke and Fergus
counties, the decrease of the gold pro-
duct amounting to over 100000. The
principal decrease was in the falling off
OF the output of the Jay Gould mine of
| OspoOouhSCos uo uluCu ulOTtl Ill tIlc oDOLtcu
Horse, and GOO ounces in the Montana
company. There was a gain of 6,OOO
ounces from the Empire mine and a
substantial increase from the Lexington
~ Colorado Smelling and Refining
company.
There was an increase in the silver
product of 100000. due to the increased
products of a number of counties, princi-
pally Silver Bow, Meagher, and Mis-
souia. The principal decrease was in
Deer Lodge county. The increase in
Meagher county was principally ia the
Castle district.
The production of gold and silver by
counties was as follows, fractions of the
ounce being omitted:
Beaverhead-gold. $50 ounces; silver,
69G,54G.
Deer Lodge-gold, 1886 ounces; sill.

Utilizing His bitches.

One Tulare farmer north of town has
found use for his dry bitches. After
the water is turned out in early summer,
instead of allowing the banks to become
swamp of weeds, to his own detriment
and the undoing of those below, he plows
the banks aud the bottoms of the ditch
and plants pumpkins therein. On the
three fourths Of a mile of ditch running
through his place he raises from fifty to
onc-hundred wagonloads of pumpkins of
the largest kind. After they were
gathered in the fall and the vinesare-
dry he dumps them into the ditch and
sets fire to them. The result is ditch
as clean as garden walk, no weed seed
to be spread over thousands of acres as
soon as the water is turned in. Besides
this, he gets large and valuable crop at
almost no expense, except for planting
and harvesting. - Tulare Gal. Register.

Everybody knows that natives of Del

you why they are so called. The epithet
is said to have had its origin i'm the fol-

fighters in the War of the Revolution
was Captain Caldwell, who was notori-
GUS for his fondness for cock-fghting..
He drilled his men admirably. they

Caldwell held to the peculiar theory that
no cock was really game unless its mo-
Their was blue hen. As the months
wore away Caldwcll's men became known

which only increased their respect for tho
