[Prom Tuesday's Dally.) »'«noemlng Spleen. --- If tlie Daily Index saw fit trt pass in its ecks it was at perféilt liberty to ilo so. So „e cried that wè know of ; but its untimely lise would have been somewhat more •efu 1 had it not been attended by state ■nts for which 1U publisher lias not the y »teakahie guarantee of truth wâiriiulliifc to make tlicm. When he proceeds to that neither journal (meaning the Daily ER and Daily Index) "had a single ad 'tsement at rates above those paid for in ion in the Weekly " he states what is not as f*r ps the Mjneii Is concerned, and es the trouble to go out of his way to vote a little uncalled-for attention to other iple's business. The Miner had a moder support from, the very first of caSli adver ts Who paid special rates for advertising in Daily, and when onr article announcing nfflciency of support appeared we are ssed to say that a much larger number e forward and adjusted their advertising tracts upon the basis of the schedule of rges for the Daily. When we called the ntion of the Butte business men to the that a daily paper could not live without ;uate support, which ours had as yet failed receive, we.said that " while enjoying what nefit is to be secured by a live daily many them (the business men aforesaid) not all any means, kindly permit the publisher of daily to pay for those benefits from ich any one having a faint comprehension the English language can understand that en from the first the Daily Miner received ore or less support as a Daily. This sup rt was largely increased when we made own the necessity of such increase and to y the Daily Miner is in no more danger of (pension than is the Weekly; so the kindly linuation of the Index to the effect that our liy is " on the road to ruin " is to be taken what it is worth—nothing. As for the ■tte telegrams, they are sent through direct m Ogden, and are delivered here word for ni. and line for line as they are at Helena, it being repeated at Helena they are re ved hero at the very same instant of time at that place, so here again we can see the complaint about " tardiness " ounts to. In fact, the article in Sunday's dex is a small minded piece of spleen ; the impt by a paper that has failed to iqjuie that is striving to achieve success. One word more. The publisher of the * being a stranger in these parts may not ie learned that in Montana nothing is so ilutely sure of success as modest, un |uming merit ; and on the other hand tliat Ihitig will so quickly, so surely bring ruin failure as bloviating, boastful, egotism. |the Index possesses merit the people of mtana arc quite sufficiently intelligent to ierve that fact for themselves, without its |ng to tlie trouble of trying to build itself by pulling others down. On the other d if it is destitute of good poinls to com nd it, tlu» people cannot be hoodwinked any amount of boasting into giving it a port it does not deserve. Xor do they two straws what kind of a "hair-pin" mhlislier may happen to be. Our Graded School. .oom No, 1 (primary) in the graded school opened yesterday in charge of Mis. Gibbs, number of pupils in attendance yester was 241, of whom room No. 1 had 50; 2, 45 ; No. 3, 48 ; No. 4, 58 ; No. 5, or the It 8cliool, 40. It will he observed that n No. 1 is the lower primary, the system 'umbering in use being the reverse of that uently employed: The Walkerville :1 will open next Monday, in charge of Emma Butcher, who returned from ndaie last week. The handsome school ding of Waalkerrillc has a debt hanging it which it is proposed to liquidate by a al hall to be givey-on the evening of next »V week according to the card to be id in this issue. It will be observed from figures given above that the five depart ts of the Butte school are already over ■ded. Later in the season the attendance undoubtedly be much larger than it is The necessity of opening another room securing an additional teacher is already Ânized.

Considerable work is being done, and all-with a good show ing- One of tlie principal needs of tills dis trict is a good road So tpake the mines access able, and property-owners, if aided by tlie county, would certainly opnatruct one. Mr. Hatliaway brought in sotfe ore from the B|'d»eÿè|âi|d Ufcrlie pàthaf ay No. 2 iodes, which tvW tested' by ASsayer 8. B. Kiee, and found, to assay 304 ounces per ton for tlie Birdseye rock, and 1,052 ounces per ton for that from the Carrie Hathaway No. 2. It is his Intention to take a quantity ol the latter ore te the Butte smelter, ns soon as hO can get it ont-4-whicb will be in a few days. Yesterday H. Jacobs & Co., moved into their handsome new store In Central block, Main street. Just as the doors of the estab lishment were thrown open for the first time, a train loaded with new goods for the firm arrived from the terminus, so that the ne# firm, new store and new goods all take an even start with one another. The store is 27x85 feet and 15 feet high in the clear, well lighted with chandeliers especially ordered from the East, and well supplied with shelf counters, a peculiarity of the wrtl-turnished clothing store. Besides the counters on either side a row of tables placed crosswise, and at a short distance apart from one anoth er, run down the middle of the room, each affording resting plat* Mr goods of a pailiCu kind or pattern. H. Jacobs & Co. will deal exclusively in clothing, furnishing goods, hats, boots, etc. Tlie customer they can not suit in their line must be very hard to please, indeed. Last week two or three of the Butte mills being closed for repairs, the bullion ship ments were very light, but the current week promises to make a more favorable record for itself. Yesterday seven very large bars from the Alice, 02!) lbs. in all, were sent out by ex press, the result of the first run since tlie fur nace feeders were put in. Immediately after those bars were hilled for shipment, seven more, of about tlie same size, were delivered at the express office from the Silver Bow mill. Mention is made of this mill rather infre quently, from the fact that there is just about as much change to be noted in its operation as iliere is in tlie running of an eiglit-day clock, in good or and well tended. In Au gust the La Plata shipped 19 bars of silver, averaging 126 lbs. to the bar, and for the month closing to-day an equal number of like weight have left the mould, indicating a yield ot something over a ton and an eighth of fine bullion per month. (from Wednesday's Dally.) > Public Spirit. Mr. B. F. White, tlie commission merchant at the terminus, is not a citizen of Butte, <$nore's the pity) but for all that lie contrib utes the full share of a public spirited citizen towards Butte's proscrit)-. Transacting a large freighting business for the business men of this city |lie feels liimsclf to a certain de gree identified with its interests, and accord ingly does what he cau towards the further ance of its prosperity and tlie assurance of its welfare. How well lie contributes towards this end can lie understood from tlie following letter which speaks for itself : Terminus IT. X. Ky., Idaho, > September 25th, 1870. ) II. McMurphey, Sec'y. hutte Fire Brigade, Butte City, Montana : Dear Sir : I have tlie pleasure of send ing you herewith the hill of lading of your steam fire engine, which arrived from Seneca Falls yesterday, and left iiere to-day at noon on one of my trains. You can look for its arrival in about thirteen or fourteen days. As 1 promised you last spring, I take it through without charge, and uni pleased to have an opportunity of donating this much towards your noble enterprise. Hoping i» will arrive safe and please you, us I think it will, I re main Yours truly, B. F. WHITE. Now, since so liberally helping a hand has been extended our town by a gentleman who never even visited it, who has very little di rectly at stake here, it is to be hoped that the Butte men whose every dollar is invested in Butte property, whose homes and firesides are here, will have sufficient energy, sufficient public spirit, to make something of an ad "ance in the same direction. The steamer I will be here next week. A lions»» must he 1 provided for it ; an active, not merely orna mental, fire company should be foimed at 1 once, and many other things attended to. No I great outlay of time or money is required in 1 attending to sucli matters, but nevertheless 1 they are not self-operative, and if they are to i be done at all somebody must take hold and | consent to work a little. The Secretary of tlie Brigade, Mr. McMurphey, publishes a card elsewhere calling Brigade meeting for tliis evening. For once let a little interest lie manifested. Let something more than a cor poral's guard report at roll call. High-Priced Rml Eatnte. The barometer to indicate a town's pros perity is tin- price of real estate on its busi ness streets. Accepting this as a sign it will certainly beadmited from the prices realized yesterday at the Administrator's sale of the Font estate, tliat tlie Indicator points unmis takably to "Fair" as the prediction for Butte's financial future. Tin- property sold yesterday was a one-lmlf interest in tlie old building in which the postofflee «as kept during Dr. Ford's time, and in the lot it stands on. As for the building, to any busi ness man needing tlie lot it is worth less than nothing, since it must be removed before any thing deserving tlie name of .i business house can he erected on tlie ground. The lot is is 20x100 feet, and of Ibis small piece of ground an undivided one-half interest brought the handsome price of *1,875, »>r $187-50 for eiieli foot of frontage on Main street. We very mueli doubl if a higher price lias ever been paid in any luma Jide real estate tran saction, anywhere between Omaha and Vir gi nia l fly Nevada. Masonic Hall. i V-4- / { 1 ( ____________..... ÏY A short titre ago the Masons of Glendale held a meeting and effected a preliminary or ganization preceding the establishment of a Masonic lodge at tliat place. The matter was entered into in earnest the officers of the future lodge being elected, at the first raoeting and a contract given ont for the building of the hall. The hall will be 24x45 feet, by 12 feet high and will consist of an upper story to he built over the brick store of Martin & Page. The contract price for building It Is $1,075. As soon as the hall is completed,and accepted by the proper officer sent to examine it, the Masonic Lodge of Glendale will be opened with tlie customary impressive ceremonies. «old Bearing Lode nt the Park. Messrs. W. L. Lee, Morgan Davis and B. K. Emerson, who discovered gold-bearing quartz in the foothills on the southeast side of the Park, at a distance of about eight miles from this city, have sunk a shaft 26 feet deep and taken out about twenty tons of ore. They commenced working an araslra on Monday last, by horse power. The first clean up will take place two weeks hence. An assay, made a short time ago, sho wed $49.60 to the ton. Tlie operators say the prospect becomes better as they go dowu. fFrom Thursday's nally.j Mineral Specimens from Untie. Yesterday morning we were shown some large boxes of specimens piled in tlie ware house of A. J. Davis and awaiting shipment to tlie East. The specimens came from the Alice, Lexington and Gagnon claim, also from W. A. Clark's claim on the Original lode. One of the boxes was directed to the Smithsonian Institute, another to President Ilayes, the rest to Mr. Donaldson, of the Land Commission, whose recent visit to Butte has been reported. Tlie ponderous bars—or pigs, as we heard a pilgrim call them the other day—of silver which leave Butte by almost every out-going Overland coacli form the best and most reliable of all specimens, taking their number into account, by which to judge of the richness of the Butte mines. Still a few pieces of ore running from 900 to 2,200 ounces of silver to the ton, will do no harm it placed in Eastern cabinets as repre sentatives of Montana's mineral wealth. Accident to n Prominent Citizen. Mr. H. T. Brown of the Miner, on return ing from Philipsburg, brings news ot a very serious accident which occurred last Friday night to the Hou. E. B. Waterbury, of that place. While returning from a visit to some of his mines in the neighborhood, driving a single horse in a dog cart, Mr. Waterbury had tlie mishap to drive oft' the grade at a point where the declivity afforded a fine chance for a good roll. The horse was either killed outright in the fall, or else his death resulted from ins struggles in endeavoring to escape from the unnatural position in which he was left by the tumble. At all events he was found next morning, still in tlie shafts, hut stone dead, and lying prone on ins back. Mr. Waterbury was probably stunned in tlie fall, as ins wounds were found to consist princi pally of cuts and bruises about tlie head When found next morning he was immédi at .'Iy taken home and medical assistance sum moiled. Tlie friends who brought him in were of the opinton tliat his injuries were not dangerous, but tlie surgeon had not reported up to the time of Mr. B.'s departure. UwmI Times at Glendale. Times at Glendale are reported as being re niarkably brisk. Now teat tlie camp is pro vided with a daily mail it will cut somethin more of a figure before the world, and its rate of growtli will be correspondingly increased. A gentleman connected with tlie llecla Co. lately informed us tliat as soon as a contem plated enlargement of tlie works is effected, tlie mines alone will give employment to a thousand men. It is said that tlie work of making this enlargement will be commenced this fall ; completed early next spring. Even as it is, in Glendale and Lion City together more men are steadily working for wages than at Butte.' With the coming of their long iooked-for daily mail, we hope our Glendale friends will not fail to let us hear from them occasionally. Mammie. Tlie Montana Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. will convene at Butte next Tuesday, tlie 7th instant. Sessions will be held on the seventh, eighth and on tlie forenoon of the ninth. On tlie afternoon of tlie ninth ! tlie three Montana Caminamleries of tlie Knights Templar— those of Virginia, Helena and Butte—will go into encampment in tlie vicinity of Butte and remain encamped for the period of three days. The number of delegates expected to be. in attendance at tlie Grand Lodge is about sixty, with almost as large an enrollment for the Cominandery, although members of tlie Com lnatidery will in nearly all eases also lie mem bers of tlie Grand Lodge. During tlie ob servances, or immediately afterwards, a Masonic ball will bo given in honor of the visiting brethren. . The Engine House. Last evening, in discussing the proposition to build an engine house for tlie new steam er, happily soon to arrive here, the depleted state of the fire fund, ditto of tlie city funds, was perceived, s'ill it was considère»! impera tive, considering tlie danger of frost, to pro vide a brick or stone fire and frost proof engine house. A temporary tram" structure, a cheap affair, might dt> very well for tlie en gine, but in such a slopping place t lie hose would remain frozen solid on tlie reel during the winter months, and while in that condi tion it would not lie ready for use at a mo ment's warning as hose ami engine always should be. On this account the building of a frost proof house was considered unavoidable although an edifice of 1 hat kind, of the mod est, dimensions of 15x24 would cost at i $4,900. Since'it is admitted that any tl least any thing to shelter it from the elements will answer for tlie steamer bow would it do to erect- a cheap balloon frame engine house for the steamer and rent a corner in some stone warehouse for tlie hose reel? This plan would be open to the objection that engine and hose would always bo far apart when needed ; hut witli any sort of discipline or drill introduced in the Brigade this would present no difficulties. Several frost-proof warehouses about town have doors wide enougli to admit the reel. firemen's Meeting. Last night the regular monthly meeting of the Butte Fire Brigade was held at the old school house, with a fair attendance. When tlie meeting was called to order Mr. McMur phey, Brigade Secretary, stated that the Com pany's ftinds now on hand amounted to $1163, of which $553 proceeded from the special lire tax levied on Butte town property under the Territorial statutes. He further proceeded to state that the first payment upon tlie engine, amounting to $1000, would be due upon its arrival, as well as a railroad freight bill of about $480. Also,that arrangements must be made whereby the notes of the Brigade could he issued to the Silsby Company for the bal ance of $3000 to be paid in annual install ments. For the accomplishment of this latter object it was deciiled to incoiporate the Brig ade. A committee to report at a special meet ing to be held next Saturday evening was then appointed to make arrangements for in corporating. The necessity of providing a suitable engine house for tlie coming steamer being perceived, a committee consisting of Messrs. Bowes, McMurphey and Steele, were appointed to confer with the City Council, then in session, to see if the city would not assist in procuring a lot and building the house. The result of this conference is given elsewhere. No further busmess coming up the meeting adjourned until Saturday at 7:30 p. m. Connell Meeting. Pursuant to call tlie City Couucil met last evening at tlie office of the Police Magis trate. Present, tlie Mayor and a quorum of Aldermen. Tlie business transacted was first, to pass a city election law ; secondly, to adopt an ordinance providing for a system of city taxation, and thirdly, a conference held with tlie firemen's committee on the subject of building an engine house. The city election ordinance will be published to-morrow. The ordinance relating to city taxes provides that the City Council shall convene in regular meeting on the second Monday of October for the purpose of levying a city tax, not to ex ceed three mills on the dollar. The tax lists prepared under this levy will be returnable on the second Monday in Novembei. On the the third Monday .in November the Council will meet as a Board of Equalization, and on the first of Januuary all unpaid taxes become delinquent. The conference with the fire committee resulted in tlie appointment of a Council committee consisting of Aldermen Hauswirth, Todd and Koach, to confer with tlie firemen aud report at a special meeting of tlie Council to be held at 7:30 next Saturday evening, at the office of tlie Police Magistrate. Club Meeting:, At a business meeting of Social Dancing Club, held last evening, the following subjects were disposed of: Seven new members were admitted, bringing tlie membership up to 45, and leaving only five more vacancies to be filled. Tlie constitution, by tlie necessary two thirds vote was amended to make the initiation fee $15, instead of $20. A resolution was vot ed tliat no member be admitted to any of the Club receptions until after lie will have re ceived his ticket of membership, aud paid the fee ; also, that tlie names of all members who will not have paid their initiation fee be fore the first of November be stricken from the roll and their places declared vacant. The first hop of the season takes place to morrow night. The Coming Guest». At the hotels active preparations are being made for the reception next week of the Ma sonic Grand Lodge delegates, many of whom will bring their wives and families. At the St. Nicholas and Centennial orders have al ready been received for a large number of rooms. Next week Butte will present the extreme of animation as it this week touches the low water mark of depression. So many have gone to tlie Fair that our streets would almost pass for those of tlie Deserted Village itself. Declining for Cause. The proposal to welcome Grant at Salt Lake City with a grand blow-out, patterned as closely as possible after that of San Fran cisco, lias elicited a decided protest from an uncompromising Gentile who gives cause in a letter to the Tribune in the following out spoken terms : Eds. Tribune : At the risk of being consid ered ultra, 1 must enter my protest against the Gentiles giving General Grant an ovation should lie visit this city. No true Gentile in Utah can folget, or forgive, his removal of tliat honest, upright, incorruptible, fearless Judge, McKean. He struck him down while lie was performing ids duty to tlie Govorn | meut, add laboring zealously for tlie cause of justice, decency ami good morals in Utah; I and that, too, without even allowing him to i lie heard as against his accusers and detainers. This was a blunder, if not a crime, and one of the worst tliat Giant committe»! during his second term in the White House. ll is not saying tim much to affirm tliat had Judge McKean liecn properly snpiiortcd by j Grant's administration, notwithstanding »In fective laws, polygamy would haye be»'n scotched, if not hilled, 1 K'fore his second term of office had expired. But his base re moval gain a new lease of life to that mon strous evil, and from tliat time to the present tlie Mormon Church lias constantly grown in power and arrogance, while the Gentile cause Iiere lias grown weaker, and less effective for good. No, Messrs. Editors, it is »lie Mormons, and not tlie Gentiles of Utah, who should receive Grant « itli demonstrations of joy. A Steaicut Gentii.k. Salt Lake. Sept. 27, ls7!i. Minor Items. [From Tuesday's Daily.] The breath of winter is in the evening air. Yesterday the La Plata mill was set to work on a lot of ore furnished by tlie Sunny Side claim. The building debris is being removed from the street in front of Jacobs & Co.'s palatial new store, Main street. The squawk of the wild goose will soon fall upon tlie ear, with its mournful suggestiveness respecting the winter's grub not yet laid in. The game law expired some time ago. Judging from the amount of venison brought in our Nimrods must think it is not only still in force, but also very severe. Mr. H. H. Bowler has gone into partner ship with W. M. Allison in the new market lately opened on west Park street. The new firm have a most tastefully arranged and at tractive looking market. Sawtelle, the enterprising manager, is get ting out a small theatrical sheet at Helena. His journalistic venture somewhat resembles the Footlight but bears no more distinctive title than the Programme. The issue of yes terday announced the great Irish drama, the Shaugbraun, for last night, the opening of season with Sawtelle's reconstructed troupe. It would be a good idea to put our nuisance ordinance into operation against the mail service on the Overland. If there can be any larger nuisance than that of having the southern mail come in partly by the Over land, part by the Deer Lodge coach, and still another portion via Helena, then we don't want to make the acquaintance of said nuisauce, that's all. Won't somebody send a few primers to the P. M's on tlie southern line that they may learn to read. Of course the Stage Company is in no way responsible for such a dividing and scattering of the mail. The wrestling match, side hold, best two in three, $50 a side, between W. D. Pascoe and Frank Rodgers came off Saturday evening and was won by Rodgers through the failure of his antagonist to come to time. The first fall was won easily by Pascoe, but either through over exertion or through the excite ment attending the contest, Pascoe suffered a spasm from heart disease with which he has for some time been slightly affected and was unable to re-enter the lists. Time being called and Pascoe being unable to enter the ring, match and money were awarded Rodgers according to the rules regulating such con tests. [From Wednesday's Daily.] Mrs. J. 0. Bailey lias opened a boarding house in the building standing in the rear of the Good Templar's Hall. Tlie Independent warns its readers against tlie wiles of Parker, tlie pen bilk, who is try ing his little swindling game at Helena. Y'esterday nine more very handsome silver bars were to he seen at the express office, five from the Centennial mill, four from tlie Dex ter. Messrs. Lee, Davis aud Emerson have dis covered two silver leads about a mile south west of tiieir Park gold mine. They will commence working them in a short time. The railing having been put on tlie Park street bridge we must not forget to give Mr. T. B. llaiper credit for having made a first class job of everything connected with that piece of work. Beginning from this morning the fare on Crawford's Helena and Butte line will be re duced to $2 either way, Outride papers have something to say about this line being drawn off, but the agent iiere lias not heard that such a step is contemplated. Those who have any grading to do about tiieir yards or premises would do well to take it in hand now, and send tlie earth from the cutting to tlie Broadway culvert. Mr. Simon Hauswirth lias liad a team employed for the past two or three days removing from his premises everything tliat could be scraped up in a general cleaning and dumping it under the Broadway bridge which is to he removed. Pay day at Glendale and Lion City comes on the twenty-fifth of cacli month and is gen erally the occasion of an observance the re verse of a protracted meeting. Last Sunday and Monitay evenings there was skirmishing all along the line at Lion City, but no serious engagement. ()ne man was slightly wounded, receiving slight stabs, or dabs. »>f a knife in breast, arm and hand, but bis injuries are not serious. The sculptor who did tlie carving took wing, lit out. I From Thursday'* Dally.] 1 tjuite a heavy fall of snow night before ■ last on tlie bills north of Walkerville. I The Helena coaches make good time now, arriving between five and six every evening. The load from Butte to tlie l'ark is said to I be full of "chuck " holes, and sadly in nceii I of repairs. j The W. 1'. T. Co., it. is said, have reduced tiieir rates so tliat $2 is the highest charge on a message of ten words for any distance over the Company's lines. I On Tuesday still another insane patient 1 was received at tlie Warm Springs Asylum.

Glendale, also, was favored, the tiret daily mail to tliat lively ramp being ré crive»! yesterday. Tin* Broadway bridge was pulled out yes terday, tlie old channel of Buffalo gulch hav ing been completely filled.

Mr. William Thompson lias bought of A. J. Davis a 16-horse power engine for his saw mill at Glendale. From Lion City an un usually brisk demand for lumber is reported, owing to tlie market created by the building of the tramroad. This road will be shedded for about three miles, most of which will be done this fall if lumber can be procured. It is reported that Mr. Thompson lias sold his interest in the mill near Black Tail to his former partner, Mr. Dodge. Entries for Tuesday'» Races.
