The following ingenious mode o.
crossing a river was once displayed by
4 kaff1r, who had for some time stood
watching the vain attempts Of party
of soldiers to cross the stream at a
time when to ford it was attended by
considerable danger. After smiling at
their efforts with that sardonic express
sion remarkable among tht SO savages,
he quietly raised a heavy stone, placed
It on his head and then walked, with
perfect ease, through the torrent to the
opposite side.

TWO OLD GRAVES OF BUTTE PIONEERS.

Between Silver and Porphyry streets a
short distance east of Mssoula gulch in
the western part of the city there is a
little grave yard which contains the
bodies of probably half a dozen men who
figured in the early history of Butte. 1t
is not known juSt how many bodies
there are or how many there We're for
the ravages of time have obliterated the
marks of all save two graves. One of
these contains the body of John Gill and
the ether Uriah Kirsher, both of whom
died in the early sixties. That they had
friends or relatives is evidenced by the
fact that each grave is surrounded by a
wooden enc'o> ure which is fast going to
decay At the head of the Gill grave is d.
board that once contained the name, date
Of birth and death of the occupant be-
meath, but the letters and figures have
become so indistinct tht it is difficult to
decipher even any portion of the inscrlp-
ton. The figures 1853" and the word
John" indicating the time of death and
the Ii. ST name of the dead man are about
all that can be made out.
Kirsher's grave is surrounded by a
paling fence within which stands a large
wooden cross that must have been placed
there years after Kirsher passed into the
great unknown The base of the cross
has decayed to such an extent that it IS
no onger held in place by the earth-it
simply stands against the west end of
the enclosure. 1t, too, once bore an APP
propriate inscription of which only the
outlines remain.
Recently a little shed has been built
between the two graves, and it is only a
question of time when the two enclosures
will fall before the elements or some
thing else and the exact resting places of
the bodies within them will be then lost
lost forever.
1t is said there are other bodies close
to those of Kirsher and Gill, but if such
is the case all trace of the graves has
been obllterated. A few years ago three
or four were exhumed and transferred to
the cemeteries on the fiat, but those who
did the work had no interest in the re-
naming ones. Probably some day dwell
ing houses will be erected on the old
burying ground, but the occupants will
never know that the foundations of the
structures are resting on the bones of
men who gave the infant Butte its first
intmation of future greatness.
