Bcttf.,May 25.^Tbat portion of the^ramp wiiieti is will.in the Majsjl formed^by .Silver Bow creek south of the eily in at^this luiio the iceuo uf more activity in^mining than ever before. In (act, there^in nut an kilo claim of any siie. The^rrcden of th-.- Standard are well nc-^quainird with the former history of the^^Flat,^ as the locality in called; how in^yearn none by the Travona was the first^cluim worked prolltnbly for quartz ore in^ibis portion of Montana. It is a matter^of history that the oro taken from the^Travona was of Millicently high grado to^stand a freight charge of ever clUU per^ton for tranapur.il.g the quartz hundred*^of mill's by wag .11 train* and thousands^of iiuh h by rail to New Jersey, where the^oro wte treated. % lie ore muled several^hundred nines in silver and yielded a^li.g prollt even under the disadvantages^under which mining was carried on i i^Molilalia earl) III the sixties. To-day^ili^ ore will clear nselt and leave a work^^ing profit 10 the miner, which doubtless^^ xp am* why the splendid veins of the^If SSI ure being nelively worked notwith^^standing the large amount of water to be^lialittlctl by him who won hi mine in the^I nvest portiou of Summit Valley mining^uibtrict.
Atthe Mar West mine, which is^the property of the Arlington^M.tniilaciuritig Company. Tuero is^in imposing shall house, ample^ore bins, and a first-class plant of ma^^chinery. The shaft house is lighted by^n cjtiin sent lamps, whose electricity is^generated on the premises. The shatt is^now down .'J 11 feet, fiom that depth levels^an- being driven along lhe vein to^open up the mine in a systematic man^^ner. Some high grade ore is t^cing mined^111 the drifts, but no sloping has yet been^done. Several hundred teet west of the^^nam t halt the company have recently^put 111 a boiler and bolster, and are min^^ing luatigaucse ore from a shaft about^KO feet in depth. This shaft was sunk^by leasers who found the oro body 11 nil^shipped a luigo amount of BtrS before^their lease ^ xpired. 11 id they hail a^longer lease on lint properly they would^have been able to ^heel^ Ihein.-elves for^life from ne chute ilieir industry dis^^covered.
Adjoiningthe last named claim to the^south is the Dispatch property which is^being worked by | remittent real estate^men in lhiiie in connection with eastern^capital. The shaft is now about *_U I feel^iteeo, and is being Ml down M rapidly as^conn actors can elo the woik. Much ore^has been untied In lhe Dispatch eiaim^Ironi the lou loot level back to the sur-^laee, and their is every reason to believe^that the future ^^t the mine will ho ..no of^prosperity, tin lhe PistSM W ak claim a^p.aiit ^ I luaehillery is being put^up preparatory to sinking u shall.^Dm. Hall and Witherspoou and Mr.^lirady are havmg the work d inc.
Last^^f the I'.kis I'eak is tjja Mary Ann^c la in. Tins properly is heing rapidly ^le-^vol.iped into a first r.ass mine. Tlie ore^shipped has been of very good crude^often milling above il5'J per ton. Kegu-^lar shipments ure being made and when^the pr s nt cotilraci of sinking the^^ haft lull feet is completed the^resources of the mine will be great. The^Mary Ami is close to Silver How creek^und has necessarily much water to con-^lend with.
Ml lhe extreme e ast side of the flat is
heatedlhe South Star mine which is be^^ing worki d as an incorporated company.^A straight shaft has been sunk nearly t;u^feet and from this depth a level was^driven east along the vein, which lhe^shaft cut al U) feet. The level is in about^bO leel and has j'teiicil up a large chute^of ore wh ch III place's completely fills the^vein from wall to wall. The ore lound is^oxid./.'d quartz und assays somewhere^nhout: t) per ton. The ^.South Stir com^^pany are making arrangements to sink^their shall laO feet further, whicli.i xpend-^nine is fully warramed by the splendid^chute of ore opened up ill the Last Drift.^Owing to il.e leaching process which na^^ture has been carrying on for so many^centuries the ore louiid ill the South^Stir has undoiili edly heen impoverslied^and the gold and silver precipitated to a^greater d^ pill. When lhe point is reached^where the veius are redepositcd somu^extremely high grade ore will he found.^'J he depih at which the ore changes from^oxide lo sulphide varies in all mines, but^at the point w here this change occurs the^South Star people can reasonably look for^an improvement in lhe grade of their ore.^Although ttie present value is extremely^satisfuetory, when the site of the chute is^taken into consuleiatiou, mining asM^who have examine.I lhe .souIII Star have^reported that the claim will undoubtedly^prove to Im^ extieuiely valuable when^greater ilepih is ohtaiued m the stiaft.
Atlhe Oplur mine tile work of cross-^cutting for lhe south ledge from the bot^^tom of lhe shaft is going steadily on. The^(^puir has had varying luck sini'e II was^sturlcd up last lall. Thai It has not proved
10be a paying property is strange, when^the fact is taken into eons.d. ram.Il that^II.e two veins on the Ophir claim have u^y. ars gone- by turned out s ^ much imhl^ore. The old standby of the I'lu.ilic Yin-^call mine, is said to 1m. in a lino condi^^tion, with good ore riservoir* in many^portions of ttie mine. Ill lite M hills^there is some- r.cti oie which is l.txrally^provided with horn silver winch does not^require a magnifying glass to see. for^some nine past the output of the Vulcan
11is iK t n i Inpi ed loOmaha.Nel^..for treat^^ment. The- smelters of llulle certainly^should be uble lo compete sueeeisfully^against smelters situated 1,'.'^t n lis^away, yet the action taken by the man^^agement of lhe Vulcan in ship^^ping their ore such a long^distance is proof positive that^more favorable terms can be had in^Omaha than in Butte. Will some smelter^man arise and explain win this isT
Thenew shatt of the Vulcan has at^^taint d a depth of ItOO feet and will m^1 mure be the working shaft of the prop^^erty. The gallows from over tbo old in^^cline shafl has been moved to the new^shalt, the old shaft being now abandoned!.
Atthe Shonbar la thing is being done^be pon I sinking the shaft, which is now^down .4u feel. No drifting will lie done^until lhe shutt is 4' u (pet deep. Much in-^teres! is being taken in the result of the^Shoiii a shall, II being lhe pioneer ill^deep mining, there being no shaft in the^Hal that has passed beyond the It 0 foot^mark In depth. The measure' of success^nit I with in sinking the Shonbar will be^o: vital nil oi'tauce to the future of the^^^lines on die flit. Yet there is no good^ronton why the ore' should hoi go on^downward as in other mines in the camp,^and in fact there is every reason to believe^thai the mines whie-h have paid above^should contiuue lo pay shell greater^dei.th is uttained.
Takenaltogether, the mines of the flat^are prosiH-r ng, the greater number work-^lug having pay ore. and those thai have^hoi are w orking energetically lo thai end.
Theold way of mining on the flat, I. e.^working until water was struck and then^quitting, baa passed away. That the^mines can and do pay large profits not^^withstanding the water, has been proven,^so that to-day water stops no one who has^a good shown g in his mine, for there are^lots of people willing and ready lo furnish^the sinews of bailie in the fight against^the poor mail's enemy in mining.^Water, speaking of water brings us uat-^(^rally around lo placer mines, where the^enemy lac.ipes the friend and helper of^the poor in: n. Yet the class of water^used in plao ring em the flat is nut an un^^alloyed source of delight owing to lhe^way the city sew^ rs dischargo tiieir con^^tents into the water used by the placer^miners. There are two Chinamen at^work olacering on the Flat who use the^water direct In.in the aewers to wash tiie^gravel with. To an onlooker it would^not, to draw it mild, seem conducive to^health, at any rate. From good authority^it is learned that the rti iiameu, unlcd by^the free trade water, average lees than -a^cents per day each.

BcnE,May ^5.^Thomas Verdcti was^locked up at the comity jiil to-day^charged with stabbing I'eb r Huot. The^two men fought in Joseph Ilelisle's saloon^last night and it is thought tbst Huot's^injuries will cost him his life. It seems^that there were live men in the saloon at^the time the affair happened. Besides^the three mentioned there were present^two Frenchmen named Le Due and St.^Pierre. Huot ami VerJeu had been drink^^ing and the latter was quite intoxicated.^Buot said, shortly after in o'clock, that he^was go.ng home. Verdcu said he didn't^have to go home. ^I am a fret, mull,^^said he, ^win.a you havi got a string on^you, hut I don't mean that you have a^rope around your neck.^ Huot said: ^I^thought you was u married man; if so^you ought to go home lo your family.^^Verden replied that he wa- married,^but he didii' have any strings on him and^didn't have to go home like Hout. For^some time the men continued to talk u^^this way and til 'lr words became bolter^and bolter. Finally Verden said some-'^thing disrespctful about Bout's mother.^At this Hout caught Verden by the throat^und tin y fought. The saloon keeper^separated the two men. Hout then said^that it was lucky lor Verden that he had^a sore hand or else he would give him a^good pounding. Verden immediately^struck Bout and they clinched again hut^were quickly separateel. Verden was^then forctd to the front door and was not^seen again. A moment later Hout went^out, walked around the building and^came back through the rear door. Plac^^ing his hand to tus side tie exclaimed:^^Boys, 1 am stabbed!^ Then he ilmppcd^into a chair.
Aphysician was called and he says that^Bout's wounds are not meessarily fatal.^The man is doing as well as can lie ex^^pected to-night. Verden is u barber and^limit a blacksmith at the I'arrot smelter.^Verticil was arri sled by D.-puty Sheriff^ti.llelte at G o'clock tins morning al his^lions| in South Butte. When seen at the^eosttlty jail by a Standakii reporter to^^day lie denied that he stabhed Bout. He^said that they had a row ami a fight, but^strenuously avers that he did not use a^knife.
Aboutluo'clock tiwiight the friends of^Huot called ut il.e sheriff s oflicc and^staled mat they feared that the man was^^lying. Sheriff Lloyd decided at once to^take Huot's nun -mortem statement, so^he procecdi'd to lhe house, accompanied^by IP put}' Ltiist and a Standard re^^porter. Huot was found in an extremely^en.leal condition. Ho waa very^weuk and scarcely able to talk.^After hemg informed that he was ex-^pi cted to make his statement believing,^that he was about to die, Huot said in^substance: ^We were in Belisle's saloon.^I had a couple of drinks in there and w as^feeling pretty good. I did not feel like^making any trouble. Verden said he did^not have any 'strings on him.' 1 said 'I^hear that you are a married man' antl lie^aaiti 'yes.' I said 'it 1 had a wife I would^provide for her anil not let her starve.'^Be suid Ins wife was just as much of a^lady as my mother. I told him I did not^know whether she was or not, because I^did not know her. Then 1 said, '1 haven't^got any use for a man of your kind.' He^is a kind of a flip fellow and 1 haven't^any use for him. Then he saitl, 'I think^the is more of u lady than your^mother.' Then I made a jump for him^and I caught him by the neck.^I choked him a little but didn't^have any time to hurt him. Finally he^tumbled me ami I made a kickut him but^don't know whether 1 hit him or not. We^got up. Belisle got between us and held^us. Then 1 made a break for Verden^and he mole another dash tor^me. 1 threw nun over the^bottles. Belisle separated us again.^1 w anted tA make another dash for him,^because I was getting mad myself. Ver^^den run Iron' me lo lhe back door, but^didn't go out. I was standing at the^front door and Helisle was in the middle^of lhe feoei trving to keen us separated.^Helisle said, 'You or., too much for him.'^1 gut ss Verden must have opened his^knlie w hen he was back there. He made^another dash for nie, and as I^went for him he struck me in^the left side with Ins right hand.^When I got to the back door I could not^see Venleii. 1 suid lo Joe^that's Befi-le^^'Joe, 1 am stablsLKi.' He said. 'What,^no, let me sec.' He put his hand there^mid said, 'My God, you are slabbed.' He^began to pud oil niy clothes. As lie did^^ o Ver lei! (MM Its. 'Why,' he said, 'who^diel that^ I said 'don't know' because^I thought if I said any More^I he would go for me ugaiu.^I lie suid there a little while.^I i didn't feel the stab ut that time. Helisle^I separated us again. I could not tell^' whether I had been stabls-d or Hot. Ver^^ticil made for the back door. 1 wanted lo^go out but Uexlele wouldn't let me go out.^1 didn't know whether 1 ha 1 teen stubbed^or hit with a sluugshot. hecuuse he c anted^me over. He pulled his knife out anil^skipped out lhe back door. At the same^time thai he slabbed me hi' hit me a terri^^ble blow; that is, 1 knew I had^received n bad blow, but could^not tell whether I was stabbed or^not. 1 made for the from door ami^went around lhe house*. When 1 got half^way around I \ ut my hand here, (point^^ing lo the region of his heart). Helisle^took my clothes off and put his hand on^the cut to prevent it from bleeding. He^held it there for about la or JO minutes,^until we telephoned tor Dr. Murray^There wen* ill lhe saloon, as near as 1^can remember, men named Si. Pierre, L^^Due, Helisle, Venleii and myself. It wus^about 10:1*J o'clock I think. Tits is a^true statement. 1 was hot lull enough lo^be out of my senses, and 1 know just what^happened.

THEUP AND THE DOWN OF IT
Another Petition to the City^Council- Worse Than the ^Fif^^teen^ Puzzle ^ Loaded^for Ciradera.
HlTTF.,May ^5.^Another petition to^the city council is being prepared by resi^^dents of West Park street. It is a coun^^ter petition to tlie one sent in last night.^It will ask that the Park street grade bo^left just as it is. To sue the whole thing^up, lhe property owners on lioth sides of^the hill want it cut down, while^lhe property owners on lop^of the lull will die first. Every^act of Winters ail Parsons, Ire men who^are doing the work of grading the street,^is watched with suspicion by property^owners, and luo lire is likely to fly if the^rutting of the hill is licguu. In fact, it^was only yesterdoy thai a lady who owns^a nice piece of properly cn the top of tlie^e II, remarked sternly:
1have a revolver all loaded in the^house, and this hill isn't going to be cut^down one inch. No, s^; there won't be a^stack of dirt taken away from in front of^my place.
CityEngineer Barper has instructed the^contractors not to finish up their work at^present, but to finish the sides of the hill,^make the street passable, and then go lo^some oilier work.
Meanwhile,we will let the people cool^down,^ sad Mr. Harper. ^Ihere is no^use in rushing the mailer. We w.U have^a meeting, and have the whole thing^talked over calmly, and let the property-^owners come to some* agreement if they^can.^ ,
Thesun has been shining brightly on^the lull to-day, ami those oppesed^to the cut are happy, in that^they have thus far prevented llieir^net hill from licing carted away down^into the gulch. Almost any hour in the^day properly owners on the slops of the^lull and property owners on the top can^be seen urguing with each other as to^whether the lull ought to be cut or not.^Tlie people on the hillside try to show^how nice it woultl be for the |m'onlc on the^top to have their nouses up in the air^above the street, with line u-rracea in^iront ami a winding stone stairway lead^^ing from lhe stairway down into the^street. John A. Tupper has lieen busy^all day drawing plans for front yards tor^the people on the lull, and according to^his sketches the front yards on the top of^Park street hill would heat the l.arilon of^Eden lor general, uti-urouud ultractivi-^ness.
Ihave beea, hot .stftl live feet into the^air myself, said Mr. Tupper, ^and 1 want^company. It is no worse for me III wi it^is for the rest. All the money that has^I ^ecu expended m grading West Park^street is thrown away if the hill is not lo^be cut. Just cut the hill and you can^look down West Park street from Main^to across the gulch. It would be a splen^^did thing. It woultl make the Inn si^street in lllo city by all mills. Hut with^^out the cut, the grading has been more of^a detriment to all pro|^erty on lhe street^thnn of b. neflt.
Thehill bi'ople, however, don't see il.^They have' t hreo resources. Petitions^will In- used flrsi, iheii injunctions, ami if^necessary, ammunition. Contractor Par^^sons has bail his life insured, but he^doesn't linger around the hill any more^than is nee, esary.
Theproject of a Hi foot cut has prac^^tically been g.ven up, so much opposition^having been developed. 1 he people on^the sides of the hill are willing lo compro^^mise now on a cut of four feet, but ibis^has not yet been agreed to.

Buttk,May '.'5.^Another daring and^successful hold-up took place early this^morning in the t.reat Northern saloon,^opposite the Montana Central depot. The^long and the short man again figured^prominently in the ulfair. Jim William^^son, proprietor of the saloon, was clean^^ing it up als ut 1_ .;(i o'clock tins morn^^ing. He hud closed the place and^gone outside and was just turning^the key in the outside of the door, but the^two men had quietly approached him^(mm opposite directions. One of them^was long and the other was short. One^of them grubbed him by the shoulder and^at the same time struck hint under the^right ear a heavy blow, and the other^highwayman fired Ins revolver at Wil^^liamson, but luckily the shot missed him^and splintered the glass door.
Confusedby the hl/^w and the shot,^Williauisi.il was not prepared to resist^much anil his assailants grablH-d lhe^cigar box that was under Ins arm and ran^hurriedly down the street. In the cigar^box was $M), which Williamson had^thought best lu take to his room for safe^keening.

litITE. May'.'^t. -The i|ti^Stton of the^liglitiug of the city at \ Ml nt rests on the^minds of the city lathers, ami not all are^agreed as lo whether a contract should^be made for one, two or three yenr-. The*^taw Beaky Mountain Llirtric LbjM * m-^p.iny wants to enter tlie lists, and if it^enters tlie city will doubtless *Mt^MNtf of a competition that docs not^now ^ xist. There are already twoelicttie^romp lines in the field. Inn Ihere Is 1.0^rompctl'ioti Is'twceii them anil tin ir rati s^and bids are tin- same. The uew com-^pally, if il enters, would have the 1 IT. t t^of lowiTitig llie rales of die other cem-^pann s even if il did not gel the contract^Itself.
Thenew company, however, will not^bid unless the bidding is to Is* tor tunic^than one year. They say 11 weird not^puy to put ill a plant for one year, hill^they will go ahead provided thev can get^a chance to bill oil one. Wee. live years,^or i veil on on,', two and llirrc year-.^Then the city would not be comiielled tn^accept a long leini 1111I1 ss 11 would Is' tn^Us advantage, and could still accept a^bid for one year if il consitlore'd that lo^be belter.
Themanager the projected new^company said In-day to il 11 he is allowed^tn bid it will m ike a difference tn the city^of Srl.tlH) per year, whether he gi ts the^contract or not. If he doesn't get it. Ma^other comfsanlrs will have lo reduce their^bids to a pretty low ligurc In gel under^bun.
AldirmauVan litiskirk was askrd to^^day what lhe light committee, of which^he is chairman, pmp i.es to do 111 the^^ nailer.
Wewill begin advertising for bids tie^morrow,^ he. said, ^and tlie bids will lie^for one year only. We don't want tn en^^ter into a contract for a longer term than^that. There are Improvements Imihk^made constantly ill electrical murium ry,^and if we enter intoa contract for several^years we would lose the advantage of^some* improved method of lighting. Iti -^sides that, there may I^' shar|a r ei nil el,-^1.1,11 a year from now, and thus we could^gel even lower rates.''
AldermanD.iwsou said he ilid not think^that it was best to tncsiurage Here poles^ami win s in th^ city. He tlinuglit there^are already too many poles ami wires b-r^the city's good. He also thought that the^eily woultl run the risk of lieiug without^bulits fur a few mouths. 'l'lie present^contracts ran mil MM I, and if tin-new^c ni| tiny obtains the contract, th^ cry^would !^' without I'gliting until tlie new^elejM was not tn minimi*. He thntight it^would take three mouths for the new^plant tn lie put in.
ManagerTupper of the new cnmpaity^said in regaid in ibis thai the* new com^^pany would acre.* tn furnish lights from^the time of the making of the contract up^to the time its own plant is put ill, 11^would kite lights from the other compa^^nies, giving the city the advantage ot the^reduced rates.
MayorMueller went around this after^^noon to see if tic could not tret tlie bids^changed to read, one. two and 'live years.^He thought this woultl be an advantage^to the city.
