Philipsburg, Aug. 6.-President Paul
- It U5I. u llte bllleLdlilC company,
arrived from st. Louis a few days ago,
and yesterday gave orders for the
starting of the new part of the BIZ
metallic mill, which has lately been
completed. Fires were lit in the fur
naces Yesterday morning, and now
everything in connection with the
plant is moving in good shape and
Philipsburg can boast Of having the
largest roasting and lixivating plant in
the world.
The operating of this plant will give
employment to a large number of men.
and make Philipsburg one of the most
prosperous sections Of the state.
1t is thought there is enough tailings
on hand to keep the plant in operation
about eighteen months.
Work in the big drain tunnel be-
tween the Bimetallic mine and the mill
is being pushed with great rapidity,
and the contractors are of the opinion
it will be completed about May 1, 1876.

: An ordinary button lately saved the
slife of Mike Brennan, at Butte, and
prevented Patrick z. Smith from be-
coming a murderer. Brennan and
Smith are miners and have been board
ing at Mullins boarding house in Cen
terville for long time. Smith has al
ways been of an extremely bashful
and backward nature, fact which has
been taken advantage Of by many of
Mullins boarders, and for a year or
more they have made him the butt
of all their jokes. and especially they
have taken delight in tantalizing and
teasing him about some girls in Cen
terville. They carried the joshmg to
such an extent that Smiths life, it is
said, was made miserable.
Foremost among the joshers was
Brennan, and when the men sat down
to breakfast this morning le turned
loose on Smith again. Others soon
Clipped in and Smith made up his mind
that forbarance had ceased 10 be a
virtue. So, without much ado. he
reached across the table and struck
Brennan . blow in the face Brennan
returned the blow and staggered smith
nyhereupon the latter whipped out a
Revolver and fired at Brennan and he
Il 1t was thought he had been fatally
Whot and he was removed to his room
End DR. Campbell was summoned to
attend him An examination showed
that the bullet, a 32-caliber had struck
IA button on the waistband of Bren-
mans drawers, a fact that undoubtedly
Saved his life. The bullet. after driv-
ling the button into the flesh, entered
the body just above the M rel. and.
without penetrating for, passed down
ward under the skin and was cut ont
about four inches below the point of
entrance. The wound is not at all seri-
Gus and Brennan will probably be all
right again in a few days.
& After firing the shot Smith replaced
bhe revolver in his pocket and waited
until Deputy Sheriff Coombs arrived
and arrested hin. He was taken to the
county jail and locked up Smith is
about IS years old and has been around
Butte for number Of years.-Ana-
