fortune to run into her foot. Dr. Allen
succeeded in performing the operation
expeditiously and the lady bore the
ordeal bravely.
Several hard kickers have dropped into
the office this week and protested against
the fearful condition of Broadway. Each
one of these gentlemen wanted to know
why "they" didn't fix up the streets or
know the reason why, without realizing
that he, himself, was to blame for suffer
ing with such patience. The fact is
"they" do not do much of anything and
is a pretty worthless character generally.
W. L. Brown of the well-known firm of
Brown & Crutchfield, attorneys-at-law,
left last Sunday e-ening for a trip to the
east, and his old home in Virginia. He
goes on purposes of business and

ing Mr. Brown's absence.
Allison & Sherman, just in receipt of
two car-loads of doors and windows, part

increasing.
John Harrington informs us that one
day last week two of Alex White's dairy
cows were run over by the railroad and
nearly killed. The animals were not put
out of their sufferings altogether, how
ever, because they had not been viewed
by the railroad officials, which it seems is
niecessary to insure indemnity. The cows
were valued at $75 and $f60.
Sir Charles Crawford, one of the owners
of the Empire mine in Lewis and Clarke
county, reached Philipsburg last Friday
on a hurried visit to his old friend Capt.
Jno. W.I Plummer. (He inspected the
great mine and although a practical min
ing man of wide experience, he frankly
confessed to never having seen anything
like it before. His visit was made by ap
pointment with Capt. Plummer and was
simply one of friendship but will un
doabtedly resu It in a more extensive
knowledge in England of what a mine
really is.

A Pleasant Dance.
On Thursday evening last a very en
joyable party took place at the residence
of Mrs. Annie Harrington, better known
as the Shamrock boarding-house. The
evening was spent in dancing until 12
o'clock, when a very elaborate supper was
placed before the guests who ate as they
never had before. After the supper had
been devoured with an appetite which
only exercise can give, and the tables re
moved to their proper places, the danc
ing continued. Among those present
were: Geo. Tole, of the firm of Buskett
Mercantile Co.; Jack Argall and W.

LOCAL MINING NEWS.
Our Mining Editor's Report Upon the
Mines of this District.
Phil. M. Sanders arrived from Helena
Saturday morning and left Sunday even
ing for St. Louis.
James Patten is working six men on
the Sweet Home located on the Hope bill
just east of the old Hope hoist.
The numerous leased properties on
Trout Hill are still producing and noth
ing and as yet indicates the abatement
of activity for the winter.
J. C. Freeman has leased the Vander
bilt to J. Grenfel and W. Stevens who
are making preparations of an extensive
kind to work the property for all it is
worth.
The Butcher Bros. are shipping three
car loads of ore from thezr Willow Creek
mines situated some three miles from the
Black Pine mill, in a northerly direction.
They are shipping from Stone Station.
Opp and McDonald, who have been
working their property, the Gussie, a
fraction adjoining the Oxide claim of the
Black Pine company for the past three
weeks have just made a shipment of
ore. The returns have not yet been re
ceived.
GRANITE.
Last week the crosscut from the sev
enth level of the Ruby shaft reached the
vein and found the same quality and
quanitity of ore as at all the levels above.
Captain Plummer informs us that every
thing about the great property is looking
better and working smoother than at any
time since his acquaintance with it. The
intention, as before stated, is to prospect
the Sunnyside ground, when the eighth
level is reached, by a cross-cut run south.
The output of bullion for last week
amounted to 62,236.26 oz. silver and
31.859 oz. fine gold.
BI-METALLIC.
The twin tunnel to the new one on the
Elizabeth of the West Granite was
started about the same time, and about
30 feet to the north of it, running in the
same direction. Shipment of ore con
tinues.
BELLE.
Shaft down 250 feet, conditions un
than'ge 1.
SAN FIRANCISCO CON.
The promising indications dev 1 )ped
by every stiok3 of work on this property
co itinue uninterrupted, and extensive
preparations are already being made for
the time, now in the immediate future,
when the mine will be a regular producer.
The fifth car-load of coal from Roslyn,
Washington Territory, has been hauled
to the mine and five additional car-loads
are still to be received.
The tunnel is in a distance of 1070 feet
and the ore in the face has still further
widened and improved in quality.
Four feet has been sunk in the shaft
since last report, giving it a depth ( f 259
feet, and work has been temporarily
stopped through inability of the pumps
to handle the water.
VEST GRANITE.
A personal inspection of the new work
ing started by the West Granite com
pany on their Elizabeth ground deter
mines the location of the tunnel to be
about thirty feet south of the north side
line and midway between the two end
lines. The tunnel is in a distance of
sixty-five feet and being pushed with all
possible dispatch, a car and steel rails
being already brought into play to hasten
the work. At the above distance in the
depth of the face of the working below
the surface is about forty feet and the
top of a vein has been uncovered which
has a perfectly smooth and undisturbed
footwall, and of which the hanging wall
though somewhat broken is readily
traced. The width of this vein in the
roof is about eighteen inches, and in the
floor about twenty-three. The dip of the
vien is about 75 degrees to the south, and
the strike is slightly to the north of east.
The quality of the quartz in the vein is
as yet undetermined by assay;
though it will undoubtedly carry
value. The vein matter is heavily
stained with iron and manganese, and, at
the present distance from the surface,
badly weathered. The country rock is
granite somewhat decomposed, but rap
idly becoming harder. When the Butte
cross-cut, now in a distance of 322 feet,
reaches a position vertically beneath the
line of this tunnel it will have a depth of
about 300 feet below the tunnel floor and
a length of 750 feet.
Work on the 400 feet level continues,
the drift to the east being still pushed
along the vein which continues wide and
still carries the small pay streak first en
countered.
The old Elizabeth tunnel is in a dis
tance of 735 feet with a continuance of
the previously reported conditions.
