The Benton group of mines is the
scene of unusual activity, and the promise
is that a hundred men will be working
there before a month rolls around. The
management is making preparations tc
build a much larger bunk house, one
capable of accommodating $50 miners,
The one now occupied gives room TO,
only half that number.
Early this week, the force in the shaft
was drive out by water, and had to Quit.
This was only temporary however foI
the %Cornucopia pump was procured and
soon set to work. In the bottom of the
shaft there is a good body Of ore, from
which they will be ready to commence
shipping very soon.
The Trip boys ara doing finely On
their lease, and taking out considerable
ore. The road to the mine, at the
breaking up of snow is in a frightful
condition and will not be fit or hauling
over for some days.

Little Girl

At six o'clock last Sunday evening,
Ben and Cora, two little children Of Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. JThorson were crossing
Belt creek by way of a foot bridge, when
both fell into the streem. The little
boy with difficulty scrambled out, but
the girl, only four years old was carried
more than one hundred yards by the
current before she was rescued. She
was past resuscitation however, and died
before the doctor could have time to
arrive.
The current at the present stage of the
river is quite swift, so that it is danger
Gus for even men to try to cross. Several
attempts to rescue the girl by men were
futile. John Tweed who is a strong
swimmer was in the water making for the
child. Guy Gray a typo at the Miner
office was first to reach her, and in his
attempt to dra's her to shore, lost his
balance and was nearly drowning when
help arrived. By the efforts of both
these, and men from the shore, the
drowning child was rescued. Cora
Thorson was a beautiful girl, playful
and bright, and her death is a sad Attic
ton to the bcreaved parents and friends.

The Bureau Of Finance.

The trades and labor council of Butte
has brought out a scheme by which the
resources of the state will he strained to
their utmost capacity in the raising OF
funds to carry on the silver campaign,
The plan proposed, and which is already
working in Butte is to operate through
the various labor assemblies of the state
and raise money from the toilers them
selves, as well as everybody who is able
to,subscribe anything to the cause.
The proposition is further set forth
that these labor assemblies will send
delegates of their own numbers who
will spend the next four months in the
east visiting assemblies all over the
country to. proclaim the doctrine of BIZ
metallism through the fraternal organ
izations. 1t is a grand movement on
right lines and will be the means of
stirring up hundreds of thousands to a
realization of the present awful emerg-
ency. The representatives selected will
he supplied with credentials to carry
them into the assemblies all over the
east.
Last Sunday afternoon a public meet
ing was held in B. NJ. NJ. U. hall, presi-
dent Sanford presiding, where this sub
ject was discussed in an interesting and
enthusiastic manner. Tonight, the I'M
ion here will take it up in earnest and
decide upon a course of action. 1t is an
assured fact that Neihart will do her
share in this work, and that more than
of silver through the Bureau of Finance.

Everywhere there is a demand for news
The public is continually crying for in
formation, and the only question is:
"Where can we get the best at the 10 "
est cost?" THE HERALD is now pre-
pairing to increase its news service in a
very material way, and hopes soon to
give its readers a much better paper they
have been receiving.
In order however that the public may be
benefited, that each subscriber NAV re-
ceive more reading matter, especially rel
ative to the doings of the outside world,
we have arranged with various publishers
to give our readers a metropolitan daily
"r weekly, of their own choosing, togeth-
er with the NEInART HERALD, at little
more than the cost of one paper. The
rates published below are per annum, in
all cases including u own paper with
the one indicated. To new or old
subscribers the same rates will hold, but
in every case, cash must accompany the
order. 1t will be observed that all these
papers advocate the Free coinage of
silver. Also that each political party is
represented by one or publications,
and that the list is filled with the best
metropolitan papers, representative of
the western idea.

The New York Cotton Exchange

The New York Cotton Exchange has

ingly sent the following reply:
"Gustavus c. Hopkins, President New
York, n. Y: Telegram received. Accept

COLLECTING THE TAXES.
Those Who Want to Vote In January
Had Better Pay Up Early.

Capt J. J. MCGOWAN, tax collector, has
/ begun the collection Of all state and
! county taxes for the current year. with
! the exception of certain specific taxes
| levied by the state on certain lines Of bus
mess which will not be collected until
January.
All poll taxes and all professional and
property taxes. however, are due now,
and are payable at the Office of the tax
collector at the court house. The collec-
ton of taxes was begun Monday. but so
far there has been no special lively rush
at the tax collectors window. Some few
poll taxes and several small property
taxes have been paid, but they are not
moving in very rapidly Capt MCGOWAN
would like to see some Of the taxpayers
get a little squirt on them as the county
is rather short of funds just now, and UNI
less they get some money soon the COM
missioners may borrow a few dollars on
promissory notes. Everything has been
put in shape now, however and If some
of the larger taxpayers will pay up
promptly the county can get along with
out negotiating a loan
Capt. MCGOWAN is especially anxious to
have poll taxes paid up as early as pos
sible. II is desired to avoid the customary
fqueues" of Wouid-be voters, who stand
anu b4OIh the OiiiNt ny Inc LOuL inc ldot
two or three days before the office closes,
and it is very important for this and other
reasons that the poll taxes be paid up as
early as possible These long lines and
crowds in the Office seriously interfere
with the collection Of other taxes, and the
general business of the office The books
viii be open for the collection of taxes al
most until the middle of December, aud
with nearly two months, there is no rea-
son why everyone who owes a poll tax,
should not get il in without waiting to the
very last, and getting into the rush, be.
sides running the chance of being left out,
and thereby cut out of a vote
1t may not be generally known, but it is
necessary for everyone who desires to
vote in the city election in January, to
show a clean bill of health on all taxes
state and county as well for the current
year. Poll taxes are now due and paya-
bic, and those who have not paid them
before the books close in December, will
not be allowed 10 vote in the city election
in January. It win be seen therefore, that
it is of the greatest Importance. not only
to pay these taxes, but to pay them early
1t is trusted by all that the scenes incident
upon the closing OF the tax books two
years ago, will not be repeated this year.

STREET DRuMMERs FINED.
! They Must Take out "a License or
They VIII Get Another Dose.

Ten runners for retail stores were be-
fore Recorder Wilson yesterday morning,
charged with violating the ordinance
which requires any person drumming or
soliciting trade for any line Of business
to pay the license required of that bust
ness by the tax ordinance.
Nine Of the ten men were fined s. each,
or ten days Imprisonment. They were
Hugo Mendel, John Rushing, G. w. Get
singer, Jr., J. E. Beasley, John w. Fos-
ter, Lois Joel. c. 0. Lane, Bennett Scott
and A. Dallas. The last named three are
colored. "A large portion of Broughton
street and the market district was pres
ent as witnesses for or against the ac-
cused.
The cases Were made by retail mer-
chants, who make serious complaints
against the runners. The merchants
think that the business of the runners
should be broken up altogether, and Re
corder Wilson seemed inclined TO agree
with them. The merchants claim that the
runners are a great nuisance and an in
jury to the retail trade of the city. They
lie around the depots, the second-class
hotels and boarding houses and other
places, where they know they will meet
the unwary countrymen who have come
to the city to trade. The runner endeav-
ors to find out what line of goods the
countryman wants, and then offers to
carry him to places where he can obtain
these goods at the lowest prices.
There are only few stores which stand
in with the runners and there is evident
ly considerable money in it from the num-
Der of runners engaged in the business.
Very often the would-be customer an
nounces his intention of going to some
first-class retail store to do his trad
ing. The runner promptly offers to ac-
company him there, and usually endeav-
ors to deceive him by carrying him into
some place with which he has an under
standing, telling him that this is the
place which he is seeking. The respect
able merchants have many stories to re-
late of how customers who intended trad
ing with them have been swindled
through the runners.
The merchants who stand in with the
runners agree to pay them 10 per cent.
on all sales made to customers brought
in by them. Obviously this means that
10 per cent. which must be tackled on to
the regular selling price, but the mer-
chants who do this sort of business, il is
said, usually pretend to be selling at a
big discount, and some very queer prob
lens in arithmetic result,
The runners were represented by
Messrs. w. ~. Hayward and w. F. Slater,
who endeavored to persuade the recorder
that the ordinance under which the
charges were brought, did not apply to
their clients, but without success. Re
corder Wilson informed a Morning News
reporter that the fine of s. imposed by
him was only a nominal one, intended
to warn the runners that they must COM
ply with the law, and that unless they
took out licenses or ceased their drum
ming, heavier fines would be imposed in
future cases.
