Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
/ Livingston, March 12-The cruel
war at Horr is ended and detachments
OF General Young's victorious army are
daily arriving from the front. Captain
Ely and Sergeants Mitchell and Alti-
mus arrived Tonight. while corporals
Foster and Sheffield preceded them by
day or two. Lieutenant BeIlar and
! the main army of regulars are still on
the battle ground looking after some
necessary minutiae incident to break
ing camp. and their return is looked for
Saturday. The terms OF capitulation
exacted by President Strong are vir-
tually the deportation Of the leaders
OF the belligerent miners and the res
ignation OF the rank and file of the
Vanquished army as future disloyalty
on their part exhibits itself. The vic
tory, while happily not purchased by
the spilling OF blood. has been a cost

concerned. Probably the actual ex-

Encouraging reports concerning the
mining outlook for the Natural Bridge
district. are brought In by James How
ell. A small force Of men has been at
work all winter upon the Plymouth
and oregon claim, in which Congress-
man Hartman and other Bo1eman gen.
tlemen are interested Tunnels are be-
ing driven on these properties and the
veins exposed. but the ore Is not taken
out except where crosscuts are made.
In the Plymouth the tunnel is In $50
feet and a vein IL feet in width is ex-
posed for the entire distance. A 60
foot tunnel penetrates the oregon. the
vein on this being three and one-half
feet In width. Mr. Howell estimates
that there Is more than 100 tons OF ore
on the two dumps, taken from the
crosscuts mainly.
Missoula has been doing considerable
vain-glorfous boasting lately concern
ing a certain bicycle raffie on the pro-
gressive penny plan. and evidently
lays the fiattering JUNCTION TO her soul
that she Is the only Montana city
which can achieve distinction In this
line. IL is with many misgivings and
this correspondent undertakes TO dis
pute Missoula's supremacy In this re-
gard, but a feeling OF loyalty to the
Gateway City and desire that Liv-
ingston's superior advantages shall bs
made known TO the world leads to tho
following recital:
Realizing the widespread interest
taken I'm the bicycle as a means Of
easy. cheap and rapid travel. the pro-
pr1etor OF a certain tonsorial parlor in
this city conceived the idea OF giving
his customers an opportunity OF secur-
ing a wheel at a nominal cost. To this
end he purchased two bicycles and ex-
hibited them in his window with the
announcement that anyone drawing a
ticket for the rattle would be entitled to
n share free OF charge. On one bicycle
there were 1856 chances. ranging In
price from one cent up in consecutive
order: on the other 1876 chances. The
first day the scheme was as popular as
the recent bond issue. so popular IN
side OF the street. fearful OF losing its
prestige. decided TO go the opposition
one better. A bicycle with a rider
thereon was placed In their window,
with the announcement that a share
would cost but the regulation price and
a chance in both wheel and rider
thrown in. True. the wheel was not Of
the latest pattern-in fact, II was an
improvised AFFAIR OF home construction
and the rider was an efiigy OF a coiored
woman bearing a striking resemblance
to Queen LII OF Honolulu. In conse-
quence there is imminent danger OF
rupture OF the former entente cordiale
between the two barber shops. IL Is
suggested that the affair be settled by
the proprietors engaging in a contest
upon their respective bicycles. the win
