From this it wouhl^seem that the jiiini^ors MM not a very^good case. It will probably retard the^development of the pro|ierty. OnWednesday last while Frank Hum*^was engaged iu placing a giant powder^cap upon a fuss in the .Summit mine,^Dogtown distrirt, a sWMMMJ 70 caps^exploded, filling his fuce, hands, arms^and breast with them; but strange to say,^bis wounds are not dangerous. I'nder^the caps was a sack containing |ft Htieks^of giant powder, but it being (r Ml mil^not est lode, although the Htieks were^powdered. How the caps came to ex*^plode is not known, nut Mr. Ilurns thinks^it possible thutu spark fell from a c andle^he was holding ut tho time.^Tomaarnd^Mttwnyrr. Adreadful calamity has overtaken the^ballot box thut contained the vote if^Castle on incorporation. It is now in^^hock^ in White Sulpher Springs. Il is^stated, that tins box when on its way^from here to the county scut was lost.The^fact was discovered on the arrival of the^exiirrss matter ut the springs, wheu a^man was immediately dispatched back to^recover the liex. It was found, and the^man claimed lor his hilMir the sum of (1^.^No one ut the springs had siilllcicnl inter^^est in maintaining the good name of^Castle, to pay the amount. So the man^^soaked'' the box with the First National^bank at the springs, to be delivered when^the amount was paid. As far as we can^learn, it has not been redeemed. Won't^ateps be taken at once to recover this^treasure, and this ataiti wiped out.^^Vantle Jfimiiff HeiHtrtrr, E1h rum tits have demonstrated that^Montana beets contain a larger amount^of sacharine matter than those raised in^most parts of the 1'tilled Stale*. Il would^seem that the interest of the farmers ill^the Missouri valley lay in the direction of^cultivating the sugar beet. We trust a^large number will procure seed and raise^some the coining season as an expert*^nient, und tin n if their cfT irts are^crowned with success, so fur as the culti^^vation is concerned, they will lie pre^^pared to undertake it uu a scale large^enough to warrant the construction of^suitable machinery for the iiiuiiufuctiiro^of sugar. If the crop cull be prolltably^cultivated here there is not a doubt that^there will be found plenty of capital to^invest their money in sueh a manufac^^tory. The Missouri valley, above and^below Townsend for half a dozen^miles, appears to MM the proper soil^for producing large rro;^^ of beets and^Townsend would lie a gotsl point for a^factory on account ot its aeeessabiltty.^There would lie no dillleulty in lindiiig a^borne market for all that could be made,^for the increase of population would keep^pace with the increased production. We^think that Montana should make her own^sugar, as by so doing il would o|m ii up ^^new industry to the farmers and keep^half a million dollars a year at home that^is now sent abroad. It is u subject that is^wc rib huikiug into, for sugar is something^that always sells readily and the home^article can be produced ut a profit and^sold as MMMM that imported. ^ ImMMbI iMMsfan A PRUTTY WILD TALE.
