The discov ery was made on the old Blackfoot road, about four miles from Helena. Six mines are in the course of development, and stakes are being set for five miles around.

Within the last few days tome very promising claims l ave been lo cated within th- city Ii aits of Helena. Winter Wheat Prospects . New York, March 19. The unfavorable reports concerning winter wheat in Indiana and Illinois, in the Journal of Commerce and other reputable journals, are prominent topics on 'cbonge here. They represent that in southern Indiana the plants have suffered severely from alternating thawing and freez ing. In eleren counties iu Indiana and four Illinois not even a fair crop is expected. Reports from eight Illinois and two Indiana counties indicate that the crop is uninjured; also that Xitrnersiii the district where pros pects are most njfavofethie'do not despair of fair crops, if a few weeks good growing weather should supervene. The Bartholdi Statute. New York, March 20. Interest in the fate of this Bartholdi statute h been re Hewed by the announcement that Butler, secretary of the building fund, sails for Europe presently, to confer with Birth oldi. who intended accompanying the statute to America. Also by the statement that the Vandarbilts, Eugene Kelly and one or two other millionaires propose each to be one of tne twenty contributors giving $5000 each to complete the pedestal. In the meantime work on the foundation will be resumed. The World daily pleads for the fund by popular tub3Ciiption. Texas Cattle. Lampasas, Texas, March 22. The action of Kansas and New Mexico in establishing quarantine against Texas cattle is causing -considerable comment among our business men. Lampasas is much interested in the cattle market this spring, as a fair price and speedy sale will bring the much-needed relief in business circles. The few buyei s now here are disposed to wait further de velopments in the quarantine question before making purchases. The loss of cat tie and sheep during the past winter in the eight or tea stock counties of which Lam pasas is the business center, will average about ten per cent. Large stock men, who have never before cultivated an acre of ground, are now joining the grangers and preparing to raise food for the stock. Marine Engineers threaten to Strike . San Francisco, March 22. The Oregon Rai w y and Navigation company have issued orders that all third assistant engi neers employed on their steamships be dis charged. Uithertp their vessels have car ried a chief engineer and three assistant engineers. lhe first steamer on which orders were carried into effect was the State of California, now in this port. A meeting of the marine engineers was held here to day. Instructions have beeu issued for all engineers of the Oregon Railway and Navi gation company steamers to . juit work im mediately, unles he third assistant engi neer on tho State of California bo restored to his position. The society of Marine En gineers embraces all certified engineers" on the Pacific coast. The Illinois Legislature now a Tie. Springfield, 111., March 20. Senator Bridges, dem c ratio member of the state senate, who has been a sufferer from a stroke of paralysis received one month ago, and whose condition ever ince has been very critical, died at his home near Carrol ton this morning. This death following the death of Representative Logan three weeks ago leaves the Illinois legislature once more a tie on joint ballot. The house and senate both adjourned this morning when the an nouncemeut of his death was made. War's reman. Nfcw York, March 22. The rumor of a probable war betw ;en England and Russia has tended to stimulate the the demand from England for oats - from the Atlantic instead of the Baltic ports. The demand has been n large in the past few weeks that the shipments this month in New York alone promises to reach 600,000 bushels, which will exceed the shipments of any one month heretofore. Engagements of berths range from 25,330 to 30,000 bushels a day. General Grant. New York, March 22. Grant is reading more about the trial Jam Fish than anybody can who re -s cn the published reports, for the newspapers squeeze each day's proceedings into a quarter to a half column, while he gets a stenographic verba tim report. This is provided to him, on his urgent reguest, by order of Judge Bene- diet, who is pr siding in the United States court where Grant & Ward's silent partner 8 being tried for a violation of the banking laws. Short-hand no.es of tru testimony are takeii to the general's house every even ing anil read to him. It was through Fish's connection with the swindle that Grant was drawn into it. He was president of a leading bank of reputed nlidity and posess ed considerable wealth. Therefore, when he seemed t- trust young Ward implicitly Grant blindly followed his example. To this day Grant is not clear in his mind whether fish was Ward's confederate or victim, and he is a s lf-constituted jury, determined to convict or acquit the prisoner on the evidence. a troubled mind. General Grant's inability to sleep comes not so much from the condition of his body i as from unrest of mind. He has it firmly rooted he is going out in disgrace and under clou 1, and all that his friends can say to him in no wise changes this belief. He talks freely with certain of his intimatas on the subject, and tells them of his mortifica tion aud chagrin that he should have been luped by Ward, and that so many persons should have lost money by him. He tells his dearest friends that the responsibilities of battle and of leading the armies of the nation gave no such concern as has this Ward business that his rest in the White House in the crctical period when the coun try was recovering from "lie ett'ects of a civil war was sweet compared to the rest that has come to him in the last nine months. He had hoped that fortuno might in some manner smile on him, so he might return to those who had lost the money thus wasted. He would write, he would work, he would do anything to remove this stain from the family; but he was attacked by a disease that must prove fatal, and soon he became too weak and too sick to stir out of the house. So he silently and grimly, and without a word of complaint, keeps to his couch and to his easy chair and thinks. He knows that he must die soon, and he is oppressed with a fear that he is in disgrace because of the failure of the firm of Grant & Ward, through the dishonesty of one of the partners. He does not seem to fear death, his friends say, but he does desire to make good all losses sustained by Grant & Ward. This thought, and the idea that he is in dis grace is hastening his death. THE GENERAL'S CONDITION. General Grant slept a part of the time last night in a chair. A consnltation was had at 2 to-day by Drs. S tui Douglas and Shrady, and it was generally considered the patient's throat looked much better. There has been no pain or sensation of uneasines" about the throat for a week. Gen. Grant took some food to-day, but he has no appe tite, and ate only as a matter of necessity. When Dr. Douglas saw Gen. Grant to-night he found bis patient in the .parlor. The General immediately walked up stairs to bis room, and said hie felt very tired, as there has 'been a great many visitors during the day. He retired shortly after 10, and Dr. Deuglaa thinu he fell into a refreshing slumber. FOSEIGN. Warlike Orders Received. Calcutta, March 22. It is reported that orders were received from England Satur day to concentrate from 20,000 to 30,000 men at Quetta and Allahabad. Orders were issued Saturday to mobalize an army corps aggregating 20,000 men with two strong divisions as a reserve. Calcutta, March 22. There are 50,000 men in India lealy for service at any moment. The military authorities are con fident of their ability to repulse an attack on Herat without assistance from England, but they consider that England forever to end Russian menace. Russia Preparing for War. Berlin, March 24. The Vossiche Gazette says Russia is devoting a large portion of her recent loans to improving her naval strength. Ten men-of-war are being con structed. Five of them are the largest types .f : ships. Three are plate, cruis ers, and two torpedo rains. Gloomy news from Hong Kong. London, March 22. .V dispatjh from Hong Kong says the French are unable to make a forward m ivement fn-m Langson. The country around is devastated and there I is the greatest difficulty to obtain supplies. The Chinese constantly harass the French troops. It is reported that the French lost 900 men at Thuyeucjuan, the Chinese hav ing sent 5000 reinforcements there. Of Interest to the Pacific Coast. New York, March 20. It is stated here that the Pacific Mail Company contemplates reducing the fare from here to San Francis co to $75. This will be a reduction of $50 from the present rate. Also that freight rates be reduced in proportion. This move is reported to be Jir cte l against the Union and Central Pacific railroads. Among rumors in Wall street was one to the effect that the Pacific Mail intended putting on weekly steamers, in place of fortnightly steamers. Another report is that the Cen tral Pacific to-day formally notified the Union Pacific that they would hereafter de mand full local rates on all through business from the Union Pacific. WAS. LETTER. (From our...-;.... Correspondent.) Washington, March 13, 1885. Th.it "hope deferred maketh the heart sick" is what the democratic office seekers infesting Washington are realizing now. The old . iimiiUtiation is not going half so fast as they thought it would, and their long petitions aud e idoi? emeuts do nothing towards hurrying "the rascals out." There are rumblings of discqntent, and imitterings of disgust and curses aud thieats, and a great state of excitement because of the un certainty that hang over the intentions of Mr. Cleveland aud his Cabinet in legard to place giving. At first the White House was the point of siege for the mass of office seekeis, but they so. in learned that the President would not hear applicants, and they made a rush upon the new heads of the Departments. There again they get little satisfaction beyond a courteous recognition. The new administration intends to go slowly, and if the army of rapacious spoils-huuters would take the hints already throwu out by the President, it would .sound a retreat while it has money enough to get home. It is pretty well understood now that only a few neces sary appointments ivi'.l Us made at present. When the importunate office hunters have gone home, the places to be tilled will be gone over, and the men selected for them will not be from among those who charged upon the President upou his first appear ance. The majority of the democratic congress men are still in the city and will be passing hack aud forth from their homes during the entire recess of Congress. They too are lingering to see just what they are going to get out of their party success. They have left the Capitol building and are now as sembled in the hotel lobbies and about the White House. Their lack of encourage ment in their efforts to assist the new ad ministration in. making changes and appoint ments has provoked .ome grumbling and caused many to inquire if New York is going to run the govern nout The Treas ury department it now irreverently referred to as "the New York establishment." The Secretary and his assistant secretaries are New Yorkers, aud there is scarcely an office in the building for which a New York aspirant has not be?n mentioned. Nor is there a vaulted corridor that does not echo to the footsteps of New York office seek ers. The most humiliating feature of the pres ent situation in Washington is the pressure for office in person or by proxy, of ex-mem bers of Congress. Having once tasted the sweets of official position, few ot them seem able to restrain their appetites, and the scramble is at once disagreeable to them selves and d sgustiug to disinterested ob servers. Some of the more ambitions ones, who succeeded in having themselves men tinned in connection with Cabinet positions, or leading foreign missions, are now de scending to assistant secretaryships in tneir demands, and by and by tbey will be con tent with a clerkship in one of the Depart ments if they can pass the required ex amination. This is the old story over again of the man who came here in Andy John son's time to get a foreign mission. By degrees his ambition dropped to a clerkship. then to a doorkeepership and finally agreed to quit nd go home if they would give him a free ticket and an old pair of breeches. It was only yesterday that I met a promi nent democrat who two weeks ago, was con tident of being Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of War. Now he is trying to be appointed government architect. Another such fall and it is pitiful to think where he may be. Another disappointment to the expectant crowds of democratic spoilsmen, was caused by the administrative reform significantly leguVltt the White House. I allude of course to the dismissal of the clerical force there. It means a dumping off of clerkships throughout all the Departments, and the reductions will give much less chance for place to democratic aspirants." A democratic President is a curiosity and on each lay siinv his occupancy of the White House, President Cleveland has given some time to receiving the crowds of people who hive gathered about the Man sion to cat-h a glimpse of him. On Wednesday, the long established day for Cabinet families, the ladies of the new administration held their first reception. Mrs. Hendricks received in her parlors at Willards hotel. Her toilet was a short dre3s of maroon velvet, and boquets of roses garnished the ro nn. Among her call ers were Mrs. and Miss Blaine, Mrs. Logan, and a number of others prominent in the society of the retiring administration. Mrs. Bayard and her two daughters held a large reception at their home on Massachu setts avenue. Mrs. Manniug and Mrs. Vilas received conjointly at the Arlington hotel, this union of forces bringing a large company. Mrs. Kudicott was also at home to receive callers at the Arlington, and Mr. Garland being a widower, his mother pre sided as hostess at his home. Secretary Lamar's family did not receive, and Mrs. Whitney as not yet arrived in the city. MISCELLANEOUS CARDS. ML S. WOODCOCK, Aittornev " at - Law, Cokvallis, - - Oregon. f. m. mm.
