To the Gold Fields of Alaska.

The Northern Pacific Railway compa-
ny has arranged to sell through tickets
to the Yukon mining district, Alaska,
via Seattle and the ST. amers of the North
American Trading & transportation
company. Steamers sail from Seattle on
Thursday, June 10, 1897, and Tuesday,
August 10, 1897, and proceed directly to
Fort Get There, on st. Michael's island,
near the mouth of the Yukon river,
touching only at Dutch Harbor, Unalas-
ka island, (Aleutian chain) en- route; at
Fort Get There change is made to the
Company's river steamers, which pass up
the Yukon river to Circle city, Fort Cud-
ahy and Forty Mile, thus atfording an
easy and pleasant trip. Prospectors and
miners are advised to take the boat sail
ing from Seattle on June 10, so as to ar
rive at the mines in time for a good sea-
sons work.
Rates and further information will be
furnished OF application to A. d. EDGAR,
General Agent, Helena, Mont. 1896.

HISTORY OF CARPENTER CREEK.

AS this sect ion of the mineral belt has
just come again into prominence, we
present a brief history of its vicissitudes
and changes. The earliest settlers into
this section were prospectors from Bark
err, who came in the early part of 1881,
before Neihart was discovered. A de-
tailed account Of this movement we
gather from B. S Fitzpatrick of Neihart
who accompanied the adventure from
Barker, joining in the search for IA new
Ell Dorado.
The first detachment to come was led
by Dan Carpenter, after whom Carpen-
ter creek is named. In the party were
Frank Aldrich, nov at Pondera, Mont. !;
Joe Goveroix, now in the northwest; and
Tim Mccarthy, now dead. Dan Carpen-
ter fell dead on the streets of Great Falls
nearly six years ago.
Immediately following these came an
outfit in which were John A. Fitzpatrick
alias Red Fitz, now in Castle; and Robt.
Frizzell, of Neihart. These were follow
ed by a third party in which were B. S.
Fitzpatrick, then styled Black Fitz to
distinguish him from his rubescent name
sake; and Henry b. Mackey, and others.
They all camped in and around Lucy
park, near the big porphyry knoll, which
stands about one-half mile south of the
later Hegener discovery. Thence they
prospected the country within a radius OF
two or more miles. They gophered the
whole territory, and made many loca.
tions, but most of the early claims hav,
been lost by default of representation.
In July of 81, the first mine at Mel.
hart was discovered. Mike Powers ant
John Lamb prospected in CarpenteI
creek about this time. In 'S2 Geo. Cove
and ~"Squawn Johnson located the Whip
poorwill, and H. B. Mackey the Dawl
and Foster lodes, which are WELL known
mines. Carpenter creek was by the frs
settlers called Fly creek, and in 's2 it re
ceived its present name. Ed Tingal do
ing the christening act.
u. ). Fitzpatrick and Mike MURPHY
now a claim in Haystack gulch
near Lucy park, which bears the nam,
~
OF Dublin and gives much promise.

It's Too Bad.

Ben Drees, a character who has been
about Neihart for the past three or four
years and frequently up before his hon
or was arrested this week on a charge of
criminal assault upon the person of
Kate Smith, a woman of the town.
The offensc was committed Wednesday
night and the trial was held before
Judge Marelius, beginning Thursday ev-
ening and ending Friday morning, by
sentencing Drees to 30 days in Jail or
to pay a fine of $50. The testimony,
which may be printable, but not moral
ly readable, is said to have been exceed
ingly spicy, rough and sensational, such
as draws men as only an old mOlasses
barrel draws flies. Drees, who is in the
custody of deputy sheriff Sweeney, has
served notice CT appeal, and sent to Belt
for counsel.

Bret Harte's Overland" Enemy.

In The Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Charles
Warren Stoddard, describing the APP
pearance Of Bret Harte's ''The Luck Of
Roaring Camp" explains the story of
the woman who was opposed to its pub
LEGATION. There have been many render
ings of this incident. Mr.. Stoddard's
version is unquestionably the correct
one.
In the August number of The Over
land Monthly (1S68) appeared 1.-The
Luck of Roaring Camp" II Mr.. Harte
had been in doubt as to his vocation be-
fore, that doubt was now dispelled for
ever. Never was a more emphatic or
unquestionable literary success. That
success began in the composing room,
when IA female compositor revolted at
the unaccustomed combination of men
tai force, v~irility n originality. No
doubt it was all very sudden and unex-
pected. 1t shook the editorial and COM
posing rooms, the business office and a
limited number of worthy people who
had seen "The Luck" in manuscript as
they had never been shaken save by the
notorious Californian earthquake. The
climax was precipitated when the justly
indignant editor, whose motives, liter
airy judgment and good taste had been
impeached, declared that 1.-The Luck of
Roaring Camp" should appear in the
very next number of The Overland
Monthly or he would resign his office.
Wisdom finally prevailed, the article
appeared, The Overland's success was
assured, and its editor was famous.

One of the most diverting tales told
In connection with the art of anagram
making relates to certain Dame Elean-
Oh Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says a writer in Lippineott's Magazine.
She lived in the time of Charles / and
was a constant croaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself 80 OBJ
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fancied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters Of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram Reveal, o Daniel" This was
not a good anagram, as it used the ''l''
twice and did not employ the $50 at all.
She resisted all the efforts of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by a witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
80 complimentary to her prophetic in
sight. Dame Eleanor Davies-never
SO mad a ladiei' This caused her to
doubt the reality of her own inspiration,
and 80 utterly disconnected her that'n 10
more was heard of her.

He Sang a Song of Prunes.

Thro'out the drift of centuries, since first
the world was young,
The bards have tun'd their Tyres up and
clear'd their Threats and sung
Glad songs of fruits and flowers, of the
orchard and the field,
And boosted nearly everything the soil
has deign'd to yield.
Andso | crave attention while. your hum
BILE servant tunes
His Tyre to the topmost pitch and sings
a song of prunes.
0, prunes! Tho thou art fit to grace the
banquet of a king,
Yet dost thou to the lowly board of hum
BILE peasant bring
Thy pulpy fairness full of joy and lavors
rich and deep
o. is there au't on earth so rare, and yet
so'good and cheap!
And could I twang 200 harps thro' Gen.
turtles of Junes,
My one and all-triumphant theme wo'd
be a song of prunes.
But, o! the ~hide-bound, sorry prune, with
visage pinched and lean,
We meet in boarding house resorts, is
not the kind Imean.
Give me instead the puffy prune, inflated
with its juice,
That makes Strawberries and the like to
me of little use.
For did | own a thousand mouths and
twice as many spoons,
I'd still employ them, every one, to get
my fill of prunes.

Gone to Castle.

w. Ii. Metcalf starts today to Castle
to do some work upon the Casino mine
which he owns in company with Frank
Long. The Casino is located Mt Smiths
camp, five miles from Castle, and lies
adjoining the famous Judge mine, from
which so much ore has been shipped.
The Casino shows a large vein between
lime and porphyry. on which have been
sunk two shafts 80 and 40 feet. A
quantity of manganese ore is uncovered
in one of the shafts. We wish Mr..
Metcalfe great fortune in this property.

KIBBEY

Kibbey, Mont, June 5-Rain, rain,
you bet it has rained-iust what was
needed; for the dry weather and hot sun
would soon have played havoc with the
ranchers' crops. Report says that the
Highwood country has suffered so By the
long drought that the crops will be al
most a failure.
James Wells, chief of police of Rice
vile, was taking in the Kibbey country
a few days ago. AS his smiling face is
not often seen in this section it did us a
lot of good, for if Jim is an old bachelor,
he can raise a laugh at any time. Report
says there is an attraction in the suburbs
of Kibbey which Jim can't resist. We
don't believe it.
Hon. NJ. c. Larkin of Barker is spend
ing a few days at Mrs. c. L Wallis ranch,
visiting, NJ. G. gives a very favorable
account of Barker as a mining camp.
The amount of ore shipped in the past
few weeks is considerable, and he saws
there is much more ready for shipment.
Oatey and Goslin have leased the Queen
Esther mine, taking out high grade ore
right along. They will soon make a
shipment.
Well, Mr.. Editor, are you coming to
the Patriots dance at Kibbey June .S2
We can fit you out with a partner-not
for life, but for a dance or two-that it
would be unsafe for a gold-bug to climb
a sour apple tree, even to look upon
But as you are for silver you will be safe
and you will find the whole Kibbey coun-
try congenial upon that point.
Mckinley prosperity has come to Kib-
hey, for we are wearing out our old
clothes. patched and darned-might say

The Reason Why.

A lady happened to remark to an ath-
ietic friend that it was very strange that
most of the bad bicycling accidents
seemed to happen to wonderland could
he account for it-were they more
''foolhardy?" mot at ALL" he replied.
''The real reason is, l think, that wom-
en- cannot judge distances. Now, from
his earliest youth up a boy is trained
through his games to accurately meas
ure yards and feet. You will see a
woman rush in between two carts where
a man could tell you to a certainty that
it would be impossible TO avoid an acct
dent. 1t is just the want of a trained
eye that does the mischief. "-Philadel-
