GEN. SKATER IS ALL RIGHT.
The Mill Is Saving 90 Per Cent. Of the
Value Of the Ore.

r. r. Smith, superintendent of the
General Shafter mine in Madison county.
was in Virginia City few days ago, while
there he informed the editor of the Alder
Gulch Times that operations at the mine
and mill of the company We're progress
ing in a manner satisfactory to all con-
cerned. Said he:
1.-The plant is saving fully 80 per cent
of the values which the ore contains. We
have shipped, through the banking house
of Hall & Bennett of this city, two fine
bricks of bullion to the United States as
say Office at Helena. Besides this, we
have forwarded a large consignment OF
high grade precipitates to the refinery at
Argentine, Kansas. At present the COM
pany is employing Is men at the mine
and mill. and is expecting to operate
both through the winter.
while in the city Mr.. Smith nego-
tiated the purchase Of steam heating
apparatus to be used in the reduction
plant. which will not only keep the tenn
perature of the mill building to a COM
Portable degree. but also enable the COM
pany to maintain constant operations
even in the coolest weather. a very de-
sirable result when it is considered that
the normal degree of frigidity is at least
20 below that Of Virginia City. The min

As 10 PASSES.

E. II. Hartman, one of the great rail-
road organizers Of the world, has met
defeat in one Of his pet projects. the
abolition of the pass system. The
smaller lines represented in the meeting
of the Central and Western Traffic asso-
Citations were the ones that caused his
downfall Mr.. Hartman wanted every
body to pay fare, employees, officials,
newspaper men, clergymen and all
others who have been the recipients of
transportation favors. The representa-
tives Of the small roads declared they
could not indorse such innovation. They
agreed it was a good thing, but they ex-
planned that the legislatures would re-
taliate by hampering them by laws ad-
verse to their interests. 1t was, by all,
agreed that the politician is the man
who is most to blame. 1t was conceded
that the newspaper man earned what he
received. The giving of passes to en-
ployes on the roads employing them
was favored by some. The result of the
discussion was that the subject was
dropped and Harriman's reform put to
sleep for the present.

A CLOSE RACE.

Those who marvel at the closeness of
the finish in the recent deciding race be-
tween the Columbia and Shamrock II
will marvel still more at the close ending
Of race between two three masted
schooners down the New England coast
from Brunswick to New York. The
distance was 500 miles and the vessels
were heavy kden. For the entire dis
tance they sailed abreast, neither being
able to gain the slightest advantage over
the other, despite the utmost endeavors
of their captains. They arrived in port
on even terms and looked as though tied
together. They reached the dock within
80 seconds Of each other, which is closer
than the margin by which the Columbia
beat the Shamrock on time allowance.
Altogether it was the most extraordinary
schooner race on record, if nobody has
economical the truth in telling the story,
which appears today in the Inter Noun
tains dispatches.

NEW BANKRUPTS IN MONTANA.

The business men of Montana are
among the most prosperous in the
United States. 1t is a fact worthy of
note that since the new federal bank
ruptcy law has been in effect, period
of less than three years, the total num-
Der of petitions in bankruptcy filed in
this state has been but 1888. In no state
in the Union, according to population
is SO favorable a showing made, while
in some states the showing per capita
is ten times as great. The number of
Montana failures would be even much
less than it is were it not for the large
number of men coming from other
states and going through bankruptcy on
arrival to obtain a new start, free from
the opportunities of eastern creditors.
Such cases are not properly chargeable
to Montana, but even without excluding
them the showing for the state is a
marvellous evidence of general pros
perity.

A TURKISH LADIES PARTY.
It Lasted Till in the Morning, With
a Dinner Of Jumbled Courses.


Quite a new departure was made the
other day by a Turkish family Of high
social position, who issued cards to all
their foreign acquaintances to attend an
evening party. Needless to say, the in
vitations were eagerly accepted. as no
one had the faintest idea of what a
Turkish evening party might be. The
only thing of the sort known in Con-
stantinople was sOiree given some
years ago by the grand vizier's wife. OF
course, only women were asked. The
entertainment began at 4:3O with dinner,
at which about hundred ladies, Turk
ish, French and English, sat down in
one of the vast halls of the rambling
one-storied house on the waters edge.
The dinner lasted till 9 o'clock, and in
cluded dozens of courses, which followed
each other in the most extraordinary
confusion, according to European IDEAS
Meats followed sweets till the guests
did not know what to make of it. In
fact, it was equal to about six differ
ent dinners rolled into one, the whole
winding up with the traditional pilaf.
After this the guests took their places
on large divans ranged round the big
salons. All the younger Turkish ladies
were dressed in smart Paris-made
gowns, but the elders wore white,
shapeless garments, held in at the waist
by ribbon. They were then supplied
with coffee and cigarettes, and the pro-
ceedings became very monotonous. The
Turkish ladies We're introduced to the

many of them spoke excellent English
and French but their conversation was
very weak. and consisted mostly OF
questions about whether the foreign la
dies were married or not. and IL not

house had a brilliant inspiration.
piano was brought in and she asked
French lady to play, and then begged
the other foreign ladies to dance. This
was a great success and the Turkish Ia
dies were delighted. but their delight
passed all bounds when pas de quatre
was danced. About 1 o'clock most OF
the guests left, but some remained to
partake of a huge supper at and got

IN MILITARY CIRCLES.

English army circles are wrought up
over the events now taking place con-
corning the alleged actions of General
Sir Redvers Butler in the African cam
paign. High officials in the war depart
ment have ventured to censure General
Butler, and that worthy in defense,
characterized as extremely weak, has
replied to the structures offered.
But this is not all. Right atop Of the
Butler affair comes the information that
one of the generals-as yet he is name
less-who is a Knight Commander Of the
Bath; who wears the Victoria Gross; who
has faced England's enemies and hung
Eneland's standard of victory in the
storm Of hundred battles from Kabul
to Jamrud; who has met the fuzzy
WuZzy on his own ground and bested
him: who has thrashed the Dervishes
and performed prodigous feats of valor,
is going to marry. He is 60, she is so; and
she is going all the way to South Africa
to wed him.

PALACE or NEBucHADNEzzAR
DR.. Koldevey Believes He Has Found
the Palace Courtyard.

CAc 1aAdCe NouItJ dIO. l.
Berlin, Special Cable.-Dr Koldevey has
sent further report about the progress
of the excavations he and his German
colleagues are carrying on at the sup
posed site Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS palace in
ancient Babylon. He says he has dis
covered in the south quarter Of the town
a square courtyard surrounded by wallis,
the southern of which is very fine piece
Of architecture.
The wall Is faced with glazed tiles
which seem to have wonderfully with
stood the ravages of time, and are artis-
tically ornamented with flowers and trac-
cry; but many of the tiles have fallen
out Of their places to the ground, and
they have had to be carefully pieced to-
gether. This has been successfully done
and the result shows a beautiful design.
The design is now on the way to Ger
many.
In the courtyard We're also found sew
eral bricks, evidently part of mosaic
pavement, the design Of which was COM
posed of enamels and glass-raised work,
as we'll as coftins coins. fragments Of
stone inscriptions and broad slab on
which was a picture of the Babylonian
idea Of hell.
as fully proving that this part of the
city contained what was doubtless the
finest Of the Babylonian palaces and con-
sequently the palace Of Nebuchadnezzar.
Meanwhile excavations are being carried
on in the business quarter Of Old Baby
Ion, where in 1874 the entire business
documents of the Babylonish firm "Egibi
& Son"-possibly the oldest house of
business "of which the world holds no
record" to use Tennyson's phrase-were
dug out by Arabians. These documents
unpaid bills, day books, ledgers, etc.
were made Of hardened clay, and the
wonder is that they had not crumbled
away during the course Of the centuries.
In one case it is clear that the unpaid
bills are now only Of historic interest, for
the Babylonian legal period of limitation
must have long expired.

the GUGGENHfIMS.

That was a distinguished party of
mining and smelling men which passed
through Butte yesterday. and of whom
the chief was Daniel Guggenheim of the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany's executive committee, Barton
Sewell, vice president, and other promi-
nent officials and stockholders. The
concern has a capital of 100000, and
owns smelters in Missouri Nebra ska.
Colorado, Utah, Montana and Old Mex
leo. 1t is one of the great trusts of the
country, but just now is having hard
time to maintain the price of lead, of
which there is an over production. The
smelter at East Helena is one of the
company's big plants, and is in fact the
only trust smelter in the state. 1t is the
mainstay of the Capital City, and when
the orators living there find it necessary
to denounce trusts they generally leave
the Helena enterprise alone, preferrins
to denounce the Butte copper companies
as trusts, which they are not. 1t is the
Helena lead smelter which treats most
of the Occur d'Alene silver-lead ores, as
we'll as the gold ores of southern Mon
tana. So it may be said to be doing
some good in the world. The Guggen-
helms are known favorably everywhere.
They are energetic, hopeful public
spirited men, whose chief object just
now is the accomplishment of better
market for silver at better prices. The

STILL At LARGE.

It will be a great shame if the mur-
derer of McCaine, Pat Hayes, shall
escape justice. The reward ought to be
doubled, if necessary, and no expense
spared to apprehend the fugitive.
McCaine was a splendid young fellow,
Industrious, honest, peaceable. He may
not have had any influential friends, but
that should make no difference. He was
murdered in cold blood and without
provocation. His slayer is at large.
The pursuit is not being pushed with
sufficient vigor. 1t might be well for
the state to offer reward as we'll as the
county. The reputation of both is in
volved. McCaine's blood calls aloud for
the punishment of the criminal.
