chairman at meeting held on the 9Th.
The object of this company includes
everything connected with mining,
milling, smelling. trans, railway,
electric light, bitches, water ETC., etc. g.
and are not conf ned to any particular
locality The capital stock is placed
at S., ,O00,O 900, which is divided into one
million shares of the par value of So
each. 1t is understood that this syndi-
cate had already secured several we'll
known valuable mining properties in
California and consolidated the same.
The trustees of the new company are
composed of the leading business men
and capitalists of the east and are
abundantly prepared to successfully
push any scheme they may entertain.
Mr.. Childs is highly elated with the
project in view and has every confidence
in the character and enterprise of the
people interested. Notwithstanding
loss of individual money, disappoint-
ments, hard times and obstacles in
lieu of encouragement Childs seems to
have held on with more than an ordi-
nary degree of persistence. We wish
him abundant success in his latest en-
terprise, and hope that his pluck may
reap the reward which it so richly de-
serves. Mr.. Childs is one of those
whose faith in the fabulous wealth be-
meath Madison's surface is unlimited
and we like to see such men succeed.

DIVISION KILLED
MADISON WILL NOT BE d.
VlDED.
A Telegram Received From Helena
Yesterday. Announces That Alder
sons Scheme to Divide Madison
County was Rejec ed by the Legisla-
ture.

The bill introduced by Representa-
tiveAlderson, early in the legislativeses-
sion, to annex the northeastern cOrnor
of Madison county, was killed on the
last day of the session (Thursday) on a
motion to postpone it indefinitely. The
news was conveyed to this city in a
private telegram from Representa-
tive Isdell to Henry Filing.
This viii be welcome news to nine
tenths of the citizens of Madison coun-
ty. But very few of the inhabitants
of the territory asked for by Gallatin,
were in favor of the annexation. AS
soon as the bill was introduced, petit
tions were circulated at every post Of
fee in the county, protesting against
the proposed division. These petitions
were forwarded to Helena, and their
number and the signatures they bore
was excellent backing for the fight
made by Madison's delegation against
the measure and which resulted in the
defeat

LIKE THE OLD DAYS.
j. H. Turnbull is sand bagged and
Robbed.

J. H. Turnbull was knocked down,
in front of Kelloggs on the Adobetown
road, Thursday evening, by some mis-
creant whose purpose was evidently
robbery He was returning from
Adobetown, when he met his assailant,
and the assault was made so quickly,
and was so unexpected, that he did not
realize the approach of his assailant.
The assault was made about 1880 in the
evening and Turnbull did not return to
consciousness until about two in the
morning. He found that his assailant
had taken some loose change from his
pantaloon's pocket and some papers
from his inside coat pocket. On his
forehead is an ugly confusion, evident
ly the result of blow dealt with a
sling shot. The blow, further than to
put him to sleep for few hours, had
no bad effect, and as he had very little
money on his person at the time, the
would be hold-up did not get much for
his pains.
Mr. Turnbull was seen by MADI-
sONIAN man to-day and further than
the above brief narrative of his encount-
er, could give no information.

THE LITERARY SOCIETY.
Another Very Successful Meeting
The Society Paper.

With each succeeding meeting the
Literary society grows more entertain
ing, and if the success continues, Pres
ident Morse will have to negotiate for
larger building. The seating capa-
city of the church was taxed to its ut
most Wednesday evening. After mu-
sic by the double quartette, came a
recitation by little Miss Roleen Cowen,
recitation, 'Ostler Joe' by Mrs. NJ.
J. Bradley. song "Old Folks Down on
the Farm" a recitation by Miss Fannie
McGregor on the peculiarities of the
pinchbug and solo by w. A. Steven
son, all Of which were rendered in a
very happy and entertaining manner,
the first edition of the society paper,
the "Virginia City Gossip was read
by Mrs. McNulty, the editress. From
salutatory to the want ads the paper
was creditable publication and the
personalities created much merriment.
Mrs. George Morris is assistant edit
ress.
Then came the debate, Resolved,
That Inventions are Beneficial to the
laboring classes" Lew Galloway,
James Powell and Mrs. Cheely were
appointed judges. The affirmative side
of the question was championed by
A. ]. Wilcomb and Prof. L. D. Hall
and the negative speakers were D. E.
Stokes and Miss D. L. Herndon. The
speeches were very interesting, the
judges awarding the palm to the affir'
native orators.
The subject for next Wednesday
evening will be ''Resolved. That we
should have compulsory system of ed
ucation." Rev. Morse, assisted by T.
]. Lowman, will present the affirma'
tive points, while the negative speak
ers will be Rev. Wiley MOuntjoy and
Prof. Hall. The programme will also

4 TELEPHONE LINE
MAY BE BUILT FROM VR-
GINA TO SHERIDAN.
Will Connect at Laurin. silver
spring ana Lettervtlle- virginia
City Men Sugsest the Enterprise
and will Probably Back it.

A telephone line from this city to
Sheridan is one of the possibilities OF
the near future. Henry Filing stated to
a MAD1sON1AN reporter a few days ago
that r. Benton Letters proposition TO
build line from Leitervllle to Sherl-
dan had suggested the plan to build
line from Sheridan to Virginia City,
connecting with the Silver Spring mill
and Laurin. He said he would take
considerable stock in such an enter
nrise and was of the opinion that the
plan would find favor with other
gentlemen of this city who would sub
scribe literally for stock. Mr.. Elllng
has written Mr.. Letter and will endeav-
or to interest him also
Connecting with the Montana South
ern TELEGRAPH Company at Virginia
and with the proposed Leitervllle line
at Sheridan, the enterprise would put
the people of Sheridan in direct COM
munication. by wire, with the outside
world. and would be of great conven-
ence locally. Tt would be out OF place
for the MADIsONIAN to endeavor to
tell it's readers of the benefits to be de-
rived from the telephone-they are
abundantly able to figure them out
themselves.
Such line, it is estimated, would
not cost more than $500, and as it does
not necessitate skilled operators, ought
to pay a handsome interest on the in
yestment. An extension OF 10 miles, at
half the cost of the line from here to
Sheridan, would put the wire into
Twin Bridges.
That we may ring up our neighbors
down the Ruby and say "Hello Sherl'
idan," or Laurin, Leiterville, or Twin
Bridges, as the case may be, is very
likely and we hope that the gentlemen
who have interested themselves in this
commendable enterprise may see their
way clear to further their excellent in
tentions.

THE REVENUE SOLD
THE DENVER SYNDICATE
BUYS 1T.
First Payment Was Made i'm Butte
Last Friday-HistOry Of the Cele-
brated PrOperty-Ihe Butte Men
Hoped that the Deal was OFF.

The sale of the Revenue mine, which
has been on the tapis for some time,
and which was the occasion for Hon.
f. d. Weeds recent visit to Virginia
City, was consumated last Friday. on
which day the lease and bond held by
the Denver syndicate, of which L. A.
Dunham is general manager, expired.
The mine was formerly owned by Bos-
ton parties who went broke in the PAM
ic following the repeal of the Sherman
bill and was sold at sheriff's sale about
a year ago to Mayor f. 0. Dugan, p. A.
Largey and G., F. Booth of Butte and
r. B. and Frank Turner of Bozeman
for $1,000. Three months later the
property was bonded to the Denver
syndicate at figures variOusly esti~
mated at from $4,000 to 800, 900.
These parties went to work in earn
est at once and sunk an additional 100
feet, making a total depth of 26O feet,
and were rewarded by finding large
body of much richer ore than that OH
the upper levels. Following this
pleasing discovery the erection of
new mill costing between $4,000 and
S2O, 900 was commenced and it was COM
pleted about two months ago. The
first run of % days with the new mill
yielded $4,000 in gold, and it was this
rich showing that finally determined
the Denver syndicate to take up the
bond.
The first payment was made in Butte
last Friday, and in speaking of the sale
the Anaconda Standard of last week
contained the following:
The Denver men do not propose to
hold the mine, however, as they evil
IDENTIFY figure that they can make as
much by selling it as by working it
and get quicker returns on their in-
vestment. Immediately after the first
exceedingly gratifying run with the
new mill, Sam NewhOuse went to En-
gland to place the newly acquired
property and it is understood, on reli-
able authority, that he has just nego-
tiated the sale of the mine tO.a syndi-
cate of lords, ''dooks" and capitalists
for s250,00O.
The Revenue is unquestionably q
very valuable property and the En-
glish capitalists will probably find
that they have made good invest
ment, even at the largely increased
price they have agreed to pay for it.
The ore found near the surface was of
low grade but extensive in quality,
but recent developments by the Den
YER syndicate shows that the ore rapid
ly grows richer as depth is attained
and it is reasonable to suppose that
with further development work the
mine will prove an immence bonanza.
It is understood that the property
will pass into the hands of the En-
glish syndicate at once and that it will
be worked on an extensive scale and
to the full capacity of the new mill.
The Butte men regret exceedingly
that the bond was taken up, although
they realized handsomely on their in
vestment.

THE NUE. COUNTRY.
Judge Reel Tells About Some OF N adj
sons Gold Producers.


Judge w. r. Reel, who located the
Revenue and Monitor mines in 1866, and
has lived in the vicinity of the proper
ties with faith that is all deserving,
and which is now receiving it's reward,
was in town yesterday. The Monitor
mine which is the joint property of
Messrs. Reel and Knox, is showing up
splendidly. Mr.. Reel stated that they
had one chute of ore over 200 feet long,
from to feet wide, the ore from
which would run from 800 to $3.50 per
tor. The shaft has been sunk 165 feet
and cross-cut is now being run.
Mr.. Reel is very much elated over
the sale of the Revenue. Mr.. Durham,
the manager of the purchasing syndi'
cate, is, he says, very capable man,
who has the good of the country at
heart. Mr.. Reel is of the opinion that
the new company will do much good for
Madison county.
Speaking of other mining operations
he said that E. L. johnson expected to
open the Sterling mill about April l.
that Hagerty & Co. were at work on a
flattering prospect, as was also George
D. B. Turner, and that Charles Stew
art had just shipped carload of very
fine ore to Butte.
