aameanamenneneioneammoseemmoonne THE MADISONIAN; VIRGINIA CITY, MONTANA, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1874. 4 • • t- THE MADISONIAN. s fa ty..iFNE 27. 1.s. - The recent canvassing tour of the Terri- torv made by the Editor of the Maensoxia•N was one fraught with benefits of a substan- tial order. The increase in the circulation of the MADISON - IAN has been great, and we now send large packages of papers to every camp and settlement in Montana. The fa- yor with which our paper is received and read is a sufficient inducement for greater e xertion* on our part in the future, and we will continue to publish the liveliest news- paper in Montana at $5 per year. The Daily Helena Herald of Monday last s e e ds a barrel ot croekodile local tears over a dirty -visaged bullwhacker because he pounded a work steer with a club in the streets of the metropolis. As the item ap- peared in Monday's Herald it is preaumed that the Sunday -piety of the folks propel- ing that concern had not been shaken off. Any other day in the week it would be a rarity to witnees in the columns of the Her- ald anything resembling kind sympathy for either man or beast. Much of our space is given to -day for the Financial Exhibit of Madison County for the past year. The statemeut includes the receipts and expenditures for that period, and shows that the finances of the county are in a good condition, and that Madison County promises -to -pay will soon command cash on presentation. Within the ensuing year the bonded and other indebtedness of the county will be materially lessened, un- less something occurs which requires the expenditure of money. From Mr. C. B. Wiggings, we learn the particulars of the drowning of Charles Cal - otter, who was drowned in the Madison River, at the Whitney ford. on last Tues- day. He was attempting to cross the ford —the water on that day beine at the high- est point reached this year—when his horses and wagon were carried down stream. Both horses were drowned. From the ap- pearance of the team it was evident that the deceased was drowned while in the act of trying to unhitch the horses. The body was recovered about half a mile below the ford, after a two days' search. Deceased was well known and respected on the Mad- ison valley, where he resided. 1110•••• The prospects within the town of Helena are not very flattering tor a full vote on the Capital question. Within the past week some of the insane citizens have \ kicked the bucket\ while others have attempted to cut their throats with bits of glass. Should this continue in its present violent form the depopulation ot the county seat of the Northern County will be great by the time of August election day. We predicted. some time ago, that the insanity of the peo- ple huddled together in the burnt metropo- lis would eventually consume them—and now the work goes on. with a certainty at once appalling and sure. Mr. T. J. Allen. of Missouri. who is vis- iting- Montana Territory for the purpose of buying cattle has made extensive pur- chasee. We learn that he has expended in this section of the Territory the stun of 036,500—the greater portion of which was distributed in Madison County. The Federal Government has stationed at the Sun River Crossing some seven coin- paniea of U. S. troops. There is a voting pretense established at Sim River, where qualieed voters of Montana Territory will deposit their ballots for the settlement of the issues involved in the impending election. Non-residents of the Territory, under our election laws. are not permitted to partial - pate in deciding the issues submitted to the people on the lst Monday in next Auguet. Dan W. Williams and I'. Harding have just returned from the new diggings. They report the excitement unabating and that the mines are, undoubtedly,ae rich as repre- sented. The prices of claims are getting up rapidly,and as high as $10,000 have been asked for a claim. When claims rate as high as they do at Canyon City. it is almost positive evidence that money is in sight. During the week about twenty trains have arrived in Virginia City from Frank- lin, and they are continuing to arrive daily. Among the trains that have arrived we no- tice those of L. Duhamill, Henry Boling- broke. & Traveller, L. S. Adams. C. C. Loveland. James Glen. Caruthers & Hendricks, Thomas W illiamson, W. B. Hill. C. H. Dudley, Levan Bros., Fred Thomas, ('has Fallis. Wm. Myers. W. D. Vanoy,A. H. Foster. L. M. Todd and D. Winegart. The easy,wide-bottomed men's shoes now so popular in town are obtained at Harring- toraBaker & Co.'s. If you want to get rid of your corns buy a Pair. Obe Timberlake, of Pioneer, will long be remembered by us for his kind exhortations and solicitations in behalf of the MADIs0- NI AN during- our sojourn in that place. Obe, when we meet again, we'll try and sing \ Old Columbo\ one octave higher. • We are informed that Dr. S. Fury ine,who formerly practiced dentistry in this city, intends returning, this summer, w ith t he in- tention of resuming the practice of his pro- feseion. When a man once ascertains where he can get the latest and nicest fitting clothes it is diffieult to keep him from rushing to that place with his spare cash. This hap- pens to be the ease with all men who trade at the clothing house of Ed. Walter, whose etock of gents' furnishing goods is exten- sive enough for the most fastidious taste to select from. There is an affinity between fat men that is specially noticeable in hot weather. The \ Bannaek Infant \ and the proprietor of the Olive Braneh are running an express for earrying tokens of mutual admiration, and these mementos are of rare original design, calculated to tickle men. for whose stern optics they are only suited. A speeinsen - present\ on exhibition at the Olive Brooch is life -like etnotgla to be a living object ! Patton & Lambrecht have their store eompletely packed with goods. Groceries., queensware. hardware, glassware, stoves, miners' toole, and teverything needed to run a progressive country may be found at their store. They have put prices down to the lowest figures, and offer superior induce- ments to purchasers. Our attention has been called to the great importance of having the United States Government furnish Poetmaster Crounse :eel his clerks at the Kelena pestoffice with tee latest improved leather speetacks. The ifistribution ot legibly addressed mail mat- ! o• arriving at the Helena offiee would be iione more aeceptablv to the public if these i'lts:a:s were ;ea:her goggles. We hope the i . n•partment wi'l take the .aatter under ite orable cell -hit -rat ion. The New Jefferson River nines. As these mines are more thoroughly pros- pected and understood there seems to be no doubt they are extensive and rich in gold. Miners, of large experience in the working of river beds in Calitbrnia, Oregon and Col- orado are satisfied that they will yield large- ly when opened up and worked. The extent ot territory that has been partially prospected and staked off embraces the river bed and bars for a length of about forty miles, commencing on the Big Hole River and extending down the Jefferson to Duke's place. Of course all this will not prove available or good mining ground but many miles will pay big. If the Jefferson River turns out as it is confidently believed it will. many hundreds of thousands of dol- lars will be taken out this season yet, as there are nearly four months in which to operate from representation day until the time or freezing up in the fall. All our intelligence, gathered from many. gives us the fullest confidence that the rich- ness of this discovery will put new life into the mining interests of Montana. That these new mines will be the incone of re- taining our present. population and will bring a new tide ot immigrants trom abroad as soon as they become known :Ind are put in successful operatic), The placer dig- gings of Montana Territory are not played out yet, and we have the best mines within our borders that are to be found on the American Continent. The Helena fart \ Couipany's Res- olutions. That inimitable body of nice young men —the Helena llose Company—meets once a week to draft resolutions on the impor- tance of passing and coming events. The last was a stonily one, and most all the boys in good standing and attached to the Hose Cart took a say in the hot debate that fol- lowed the introduction of an original reso- lution. A flighty member of the company introduced a resolution directed at one of the belles of Helena. stigmatized as \ Miss Fairest -of -Her -Sex,\ who is said to be beau- tiful almost beyond endurance and lovely to behold. A concise synopsis of the resolu- tions read : Whereas,Resolved, That in consideration of this momentous occasion and the uncer- tainty of Providentia! dispensations ; the near approach of the Fourth of July; the mixed condition ot the Capital question; the insufficiency of ready cash; the failure to build up the burnt district rapidly; the superfluity of grasshoppers combined with Nvatered Floweree whisky; the inconstan- cy of females added to divers and sundry other ills concommitant to man; be it. there- fore, ordered that any of the !alloys in good repute or without repute that are deteeted in paying attentions to Miss Fairest-of-11er- Sex—until after the vote on the Capital question—will be tined five cents for each offense of such edoins.\ Resolved further, That all the vast sums of money collected from tines inflicted by virtue of the above law be deposited with time Treasurer of the Capital Commtion Fund, to be used in subsidizing newpapers of limited circulation. or some other equal- ly cheap mode of vigorous warfare in behalf ot our ambitious fellow -citizens, whose -in- domitable pluck\ is the wonder and admi- ration of the whole world. Resolved More, If possible, That Sanders and Chadwick be requested to ascertain if Judge Hiram Knowles will not be kind enough to incorporate the gist of these res- olutions in hie forthcoming Fourth of July Oration, as that would add tone to our Cart Company and be real .'skooktim.\ Resolved. Again. That the boss ot our machine be delegated to lick the editors of the Herald and Independent if they fail to publish, without price, these proceedings. Gallatin County \People's Party.\ The Committee appointed on the 12th of July, 1873, to act in behalf of the \ People's Movement\ for Gallatin County consists of the following gentlemen: Judge J. J. Davis, D. Maxy, Stephen Allen, Job's itiv- 00rMiek, Henry Wright, D. B. Sturgis and Philip Boteller. The Committee announce that at the proper time they will issue a call for a People's Mass Cony ention to nominate independent candidates for the varioes of- tices in Gallatin County. There are eleven men mining in McClel- lan Gulch this season. with good water and good pay ....II. G. Valiton has put on a coach line to Pioneer and Yamhill, leaving Deer Lodge at S a.m. and returning at 6 p. m.: fare to Vanillin to Pioneer ....Wesley W. Jones has sold his bed -rock flume and mining ground to a Chinese company for $10,000.....

The Presbyterian Choir assisted by professional and amateur talent are preparing to give a concert in be- half of the Church building fund.—North- west, 20th. A Strange Answer. Two gentlemen arriving in Virginia City. and being desirous of finding com- fortable quarters for the night, meeting a colored gentleman on the sidewalk, asked him where they would find the best hotel? To which the colored gentleman, with a very dignified air, replied : \ Whar eber de hen scratches dar's whar de bug is.\ The strangers feeling themselves some- what taken down by the strange reply, asked for an explanation, to which they received the following: \Diaz you see all dein folks going in to de Clasbey House? Dar's whar de grub is, and't only cost four bits a meal, and ye gets a big bed and a nice room all to yourset to sleep in, frow'd in for anodder four bits.\ We learn from a private letter from a gen- tleman in Gallatin City that a new discove- ry and district has been made in the Mis- souri Canyon below Gallatin Ferry. which prospects well. .... Several gentlemen of this place visited the Jefferson River Mines this week and report a general rush for claims there, and that jumping claims is the order of the day. 'lliese mines are creating no little excitement throughout the Terri- tory. and may prove what is anticipated— the richest mines ever discovered in Mon- tana. We hope so.. Butter was offered in the Bozeman market this week at 18 cents. This is lower than ever it sold for in this county ....Rev. '1'. C. will conduct services regularly in the M. E. Church on Sunday s,both morning and evening.—Cour- ier, June 19. BISHOP TUTTLE'S MONTANA AP- 11.411-• POiniTMENTS.

BANNACK BREVITIES. Joe Larwill, assayer and quartz-buyer, has been sick with fever, but is convalescent and is walking the streets again. Merry CO. I s arastrajust abovo Bannock is in full blast, and is grinding away on rock from the St. raw, winch payin g . hot- ter than ever before. Carhart & Co. are making a run on 200 tons of rock taken from Dacota No. 7. The quartz pays about 4` , \:65 per ton, and their dump -pile will probably yield about $13,000. They are crushing. by water -power, in the big white mill above Marysville. Mr. J. Poitras, an old citizen of Virginia City, but now a resident of Bannack, has been s•ery low for the last two or three weeks, with the mountain fever, but he is on his pins again. Horseback riding is all the go in Bannock Every evening the ladies and gentlemen turn .out. exhibiting some very fine horse- manship of the dashing kind. Doctor Bishop's \ Gem \ is the resort of all males addicted to a moderate imbibing of superior cocktails, dealt out and mixed up by an old hand at the \bizz.\ The placer mines in and around Bannack and up at Bald Mountain arc paying well. The miners are mashing it to it with their usual energy, and the yield of the \ pre- cious \ wiil be fully up to ,former years. Otis—Bannack's old and popular mer- chant—deals. with the boys in the selling of grub and supplies with that same Puritanic conscientiousness for which he is finned throughout Beaverhead County. He uses no water now, except when he sells fluid to Chinamen, and in that case it is admissible. Peck Bros a at the \ Bank Exchange,\ received twenty barrels of choice ale a few days since. They have also received a large invoice of choice liquors and cigars. The \ Bannack Infant \ presides at this model saloon, and wit, wisdom and sarcasm are sold with two-bit drinks. The Wadams Lode, owned by Phil She - non & Co.. presents a fine appearance, with a body of ore in sight that measures about thirty feet in width, and which is of a pay- ing kind. This lode is worked under the foremanship of Mr. Jimmy Hooper, whose practical and thorough knowledge of min- ing is displayed to great advantage in the successful werking of this mine. Kalma r s- Gaetano- have opened up the largest and best selected stock of general merchandise that has ever been brought to Bannack or Southwestern Montaua. Such as prints, mushns, gents' furnishing goods, ready-made clothing and womens' goods ot all kinds. They also have the finest stock of liquors ever brought into the Territory. \Old Bourbon \ that is oily is on hand. Phil Shenon & Co.'s two mills are run by water -power from the North -Side di tch,and are crushing rock from the Witilams and Dacota No. 6. They are also running three arastras, which are located on the lower end of Jimmy's bar. The quartz is of a supe- rior quality and Phil will probably clean up $100,000 this season. The success attend- ing the operations of Phil Shenon in quartz mining and mill operations is a criterion for others to pattern and go by, and it followed will insure prosperity to mining enterprises. More New Discoveries of Rich Silver Quartz. Mr. J. B. How showed us this week some specimens of very rich silver quartz obtain- ed by him from ledges recently discovered near the head of South Willow Creek by Mr. John Hughes. From the quantity of horn silver contained in the rock which was shown us by Mr. How we have no hesitancy in pronouncing the \strike\ a valuable one. Of the tive lodes prospected the veins show a good width, rarging from four to twelve feet. The discoverers have brought quite a quantity of rock down from the different lodes discovered for the purpose of having it assayed, and will return immediately and commence work on them. A district called Potosi lias been formed. When an assay has been made we will give the result. • BALL AT FOREMAN'S HALL, ADOBETOWN, On Friday Evening. July 3. 157.I. Wm.

The prop- erty is valuable and will last for several act of Congress setting the line ye A ars r . ecent of the Indian Reeervation some fifty or seventy-five miles further north enabled the Deer Lodge County Commissioners to es- tablish a voting precinct at the Blackfoot Agency. J. T. Allen. the stock -purchaser from Mis- souri, has recently purchased over one thousand head of cattle in this Territory, and will drive them to the railroad and thence to the States. Recent prospecting develops that there is a large scope ot country between Three Mile and Eight Mile that will pay for by- draulicing. It is situated in Missoula coun- ty, but there is a scarcity of water. The different minings claims in. Jefferson Gulch, Deer Lodge County, are reported as paying well this season. Most of the gulch is being worked by bed -rock flumes. The Republican County Convention of Missoula County is called to meet at the Court -House in Missoula, on Monday next, the 29th of June.

Metzel, of Upper Stinkingwater, was in town on Tuesday, and narrated the difference between corral -kept bulls and those that are permitted to run wild. Ile had been partially unjointed by one of the latter animals. To make purchases of the latest styles of goods and at the same time secure a quality that will wear well, it is necessary to per- sonally visit the East and examine the mar- ket. Mr. Johnson, of the clothing house of Armstrong & Johnson, went East in order to make purchases for their hoe ..e—and this accounts for the excellent quality ot gents' futhishing goods that they are receiving. Calton them—and you'll get what you want, if in their line of trade.

FROM WASHINGTON BAR. MEADOW CliEKK, June 21st, I s71. Editor liadi8on.ian: Thinking a few jottings from this quiet little camp may not be amiss, I have to relate that mining interests are being pushed forward with the usual rapidity, for which this place is noted . Styles and Walhank, made the champion clean- up of the season so far the past week, be- ing something above $1200 ; and Bower and Gleason, will follow with one equally as good for the amount of labor done, from present indications , the coin- ing week ; James and Paugh, are open- ing up a new claim. that bids fair to take rank among the foremost in camp, be- sides some two or three others, they are miming with fair results. The Jefferson mines are all the absorb- ing subject at present. The status of claims as they now stand is thus : firet claimants took 400 feet up and down the River ; second party collies in and chains 200 feet of each 400 ; third party estab- lishes a new district in Jefferson County and claim to the center ot the River ; so that claims are three deen in portions of the River bed, and as Gallatin County is making some pretentions to the canyon belonging therein, it is not improbable, that she may.torm the fourth District, and make locations No. 4, taking it all in. It forms a mixed muddle that lawyers \yin be sorely puzzled to unravel, and it is hard to tell which will be which on representation day. Stile's Cat. An incident, or accident, as you may choose, showing- the uncertainty of life, even in the feline species , oceurred on Stile and Walhank's hydraulic claim yesterday. They had shut off the water and gone to dinner, leaving a long string of pressure boxes free of water, and the boxes being cool and damp, tabby thought her to have a quiet nap therein , and she did ; but the boys coming out turned on a full head of water, not know- ing pass's lodging place. She was hur- ried throwth the boxes, into and through the hose, chock ! into the pipe. Not a drop of water would that pipe give forth. What the D-1 is itt the pipe? After some delay the nozzle was unscrewed and the finest, funniest -shaped eat taken there- from that has ever been seen in these diggings. 1 may say that that eat is dead-fitty-feet pressure squeezed the last of her DilIC lives out. As she was the ih- vorite, there is mourning in this camp. Do not go into ecstacies and put up a hydraulic and pressm•e boxes, near the MADISONIAN Office , for know ye that all cats may not choose to sleep therein, and while moulded cats may be the best kind, 1 do not think the business would pa% . They don't look natural after being mold- ed ; but you can try it, if you choose. TR E BOR. .A1110•6, — Market Report. exorham.

Portland, Me., June 23.—The Demo- cratic State Convention met to -day Four hundred and twenty-two delegates were present. Jos. A. Titeomb was nominated Governor by acclamation. Resoltitiona were adopted favoring the resumption of specie payments; col aiemn- ing the recent attempt of the United States Senate to establish a censorship of the country at 1Vasington; favoring free trade; denouncing the Republican party in Congress for their interference with State governments, and also their course on the civil service reform. THE CHOCTAW CLAIM. It is probable that the Llouse stopped, at least for the time being, a very consid- erable steal when it struck out of the sun- dry civil appropriation bill the section appropriating upward of two million dol- lars for the payment of the Choctaw claim. The introduction of this business into a regular apprOpriation bill Waii a suspicious circumstance. The fact that it was proposed to pay this stun to two men living in Washington was still more suspicious:. The fact that all the profes- sional lobbyists were pressiog the claim was the most suspicioua thing of all. These gentleman are not apt to be very deeply interested in anything in which there isno steal. lt is generall3 admitted that there is a large stun due these In- dians, and very likely it ought to have been paid before this time, and would have been had Congress - attended to the I 2tf. GOE. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. It is hiuted that Secretary Bristow may take it into his head to make a tell exhil P- it of all those transaetions in the Treasu- ry Department which have been so jeal- °tasty guartled from the public gaze ler six .yeare past. If this be trite, Mr. Both- well aud Mr, Itichardson may well be un- easy. A great deal of the Treasury mall- agement has ()cell a sealed book to the public, a glimpse hsto it heing only now• and then caught. as in ale Sanborn inves tig,ation. If the accidental trooevavery of the ttnborn business revealed so filtrehr I hat Messrs. Bout well, Richardson.

The syndi- cate negotiation of the refunding loan of 1860 and the appointment of Clews, IL L - bieht & Co., to be bankers ot the governs- nient in place Ot Baring Bros., are two affairs that have never been made plain to the public; and the question. what was done with the several 'tontine! millions received from the sale ot useless material at the close of the war is another mystery Mild' the department has never explain- ed. 11 the new Secretary ie disposed t. , P make a lut le investigation on his own in 1 - count, we suspect he will find an ample lield for it. and we know that his cowl- ! tryinen would applaud him tie - it. -St. Louis Republican. . ggJ Mialla HI 9111S.
