CITIZENSHIP.
The Bight» of Foreigners on the
Public Lands, 1 and Chinese
\ Cheap Labor.
At 2 o'clock yesterday ths t^al of six o
the persons accussd of violating the laws of
Montana tiy interfering with Chinese eoutraet
labor, was begun btfere Hon. J. B. Wilcox,
siltine as * Justice of the Peace.
There is a wide spread feeling in this com
munity on (ids subject, which runs all the de
grees of the scale, from the man who says,
'Away with the Chinese," to ths man who
mildly deprecates any conflict between for
ei ners and citizens, although secretly sym
pathizing with the latter. Again, there are
other opiuious expres-ri, to the effect that
law is law, and should be eaforced as vigor
ously in favor of an unaaluralized foreigner
as aa American eitizen, and consequently
strongly sympathizing with the prosecution
in the cases the trial ef which was begun on
yesterday.
So much has been said about the contract

be cut and corded at the places designated by
said first party. Said second parties further
agree to cut the stumps sufficiently low for

RAILROAD NEWB
Gathered at Home and
changes.
The regnlar southbound train on the Utah
& Northern road left the depot yeeteiday
orniug at half-past four o'clock. This, for
the present, is the schedule time for the de
parture of the morning train ; ths evening
train arriving at half-past ten o'clock. The
present schedule time for the arrival o. the
night train at Silver Bow Junction is 9:50
p. m. an allowance ef forty minutes time be
in.; made for the run from the Junction to
the Butte depot. Of course when the track
lias b. eu in use for seme weeks the time will
be materially reduced, if not abridged by
half. Tiie caution which suggests slow run
ning over the newest perlion of the track is
fully justified by public opinion. The regu
lar pasienger train now consists of a postal
car, two passenger coaches and a Pullman
sleeps','tlie latter as elegantly and comforta
bly fitted up as are the largest sized broad
guage sleeping cars.
As soon as ths rapidly increasing travel on
the road warrants ths addition, another first
clam passenger coach will be put on.
The branch road of the Oregon sboitiine
will shortly run into Bellevue, Weod River.
The incorporation of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company of Utah was perfected
last Monday in Salt Lake City. The organ
ization now mad* covers the proposed rout#
from Corinne, Utah, to Y anktou, Dakota, j
running through the Territory of Utah.
From the ball Laae Tribune of the 18th inst.
we lear that the preliminary surveys are all
wade, tiie captijl subscribed, and the amount
required by law is deposited in this city. The
incorporators are Charles Crocker, Charles F.
Crocker, Willard B. Huntington, A. N,

The survey of the route tuls northeast
through Box Eider, Cache and Rich coun

dary, betwsen Utah and Wyoming, where
the Bear river crosses said line aud near the
intersection of said line, with the third stand
ard parai lsl north of Salt Lake base, as
shown on the official map of the United
Status Laud Department. The road will Ise
110 miles in length in Utah, and it is expect
ed that, it wilt all be cvmpieted to the coal
fields in Wyoming in 1S82. It will form a
link in the Central Pacific trans-continental
road from San Francisco Bay to the Missouri
river, and, when completed, will make an
other esstern outlet for Utah, direct wiih the
Atlantic States. It can be made, if its mana
gers so decide, an unqualified blessing to the
whole West. The building of the Utah link
will furnish a ready market next year for the
surplus labor aud supplies of the three Utah
counties through which it is to run.
the Granger division of the Union Pacific
railn aff is expected to be completed to Wood
River by next summer, and is now wittiin
eighty mile" of its objective point. From the
Wood River Miner of the 17th Inst, we learn
that C. P. Tatro, postmaster at Bellevue, and
E. C. Headrick, his deputy, came up to
Hailsy Monday with Colonel George Wo'cott,
Surveyor in Chief of tiie Union Pacific Rail
way Co., sud A. L. Robison, riglit-o!-w»y
agent, o* "a voyage of dijeovery," as they
to mied it. They took a run ever the ground
set apart for railroad dspcits, freight offices,
side tracks, etc., and also made a trip to the
leading producing mines of Bullion. These
railroad men aie very favorably impressed
with the appearance of things in Bullion
camp as well as in and about Hailey. This
seems to b« the objective point for al! passen
ger and ft eight business of the road, which
■'■really favois the assertion already made in
the Miner that Bailey will be the terminus
of tiie Wood River railroad.
THE OTHER SIDS OF THE QUAR
ANTINE QUESTION.
No Violation of any Que.rant.ina Or
dinance, or Cause lor Arrest.
Buity City, Dec. 22. 18SJ.
Editor Miner :
Silt: My attention has been called to an
article in your issue of the 21st. lust, with the
caption, " Quaiautine," which was evidently
written under a misapprehension of the facts
of tiie ca««', sod which 1 wish to correct, and
1 beg that you will allow me space in your
columns for that purpose. 1 be statements
that L shall make I can prove by respectable
witnesses. Oil the 20th inst, "OldJack,"
the Chinaman that had been at work in tl.e
House—where we are now kept iu close cou
fi einsnt, on account of having had small pox
but who was discharged some days ago, came
back after an old scrubbing brush which he
had left. I saw the Chin* nan coming,and mot
hits at the door, and would not allow hint to
corns, in but got lus brush and gave it to him.
Just aa he started eff, Mr. Loeb, tiie watch
man, came up and began to kick the China
man, and followed him seme thirty pacts
kicking him all the time as hard as he could.
The Chinaman then turned upon Loeb and
knocked him down. Loeb got up and went
for the Chinaman, who got him by the leg
and threw him down again. Loeb gut up
again and knocked the Chinaman down, aud
while down eomutenced kicking 1dm on
the head and face so violently that l began to
fear he would kill tiie poor, crizy old fellow,
i then went out and told Loeb not to make a
fool of himself. He turned to me and told
me to go into the house aud tuiud my own
bust neu. I told hitu 1 would not go into the t
house until 1 got ready. He said that he i
would sse that I did, and went up tonandw j
reported to the Marshal Marshal Vsnable
came down and talked very insultingly to me.
I caa prove that I was not on Park
street, nor within thirty foet of any
other etroot. The first attack that Mr. Loeb
made on "Old Jack," some days ago, was
right, and he did his duly wall, but this sec
ond attack was in my judgment entirely un
called for. "Old Jack" is a poor, insane, ig
norant Chinaman, and had no inteutiou of
doing anything wrong.
Very respectfaily,
Charles Shaddock.
The readers of the Miner will remember
the statement referred to in Mr. Shaddock's
tetter, which is published in full shove, and
on which he take» issue. The accouut already
published was on the authority of the officers
who served the warrant and made the com
plaint against Mr. Shaddock. It is wiih
pleasure that Mr. Shaddock it allowed an op
portunity of stating hi* view of the case in
these columns, and while not able to judge
at present which of the statements published
is the correct oue, it can be freely said that
we are willing to be informed aud will gladly
render Justice where truth shows it to be
due.
At far as old "Oolu Jack" ia concerned, the
Chinaman who *as the cause of the difficul
ty, all acquainted agree that he is not in his
right mind, and may consequently have been
utterly ignorant of the effect of the quaran
tine regulations he is said to have violated.
If Mr. Shaddock's statement is correct, there
was certainly no violation of law on hi* part
[From Saturday's Dallly.
CELESTIAL SCENES
In Montana Courts of Justice.
The average Chinaman has about as much
Idea ef the sanctity of an oath, as administer
ed in an American court, as he lias cf good
cooking. All frequenter» of Lutte restaurants
which employ Chinese cooks will appreciate
fully this comparison.
In the first place an interpreter is an essen
tial accompaniment to a Chinaman's idea of a
court of justice. The interpreter is a medi
ater between the judge and the witness, and
whatever blunders the latter may make, he
seems te rely on the interpreter's shoulders
bearing the burden of his misdeeds. In a re
cent trial before a Butte Justice ot ths Peace,
in which the prosecuting witnesses were
principally Chinamen, one of the latter tssti
fitd that a fiercs-looking white man, who
looked as if he killed a Chinaman before
breakfast every morning, had come into his
tent, and said to him in English; "If yeu
don't light out firm here I'll bang you.
All this the loquacious Celestial rattled off
through the medium of the interpeter, pr*
tending utter ignorance of the English Ian
guage. On Croat- « x » wu n at : on counsel for de
fense, after repeatedly addressing questions to
the witness in English, and being assured by
tiie interpreter and tiie opposing counsel that
the witness did not and could not understand
him, suddenly growled at the innocent look
ing Celestial : "If you don't light out from
hers, I'll hang you." The witness, interpre
ter and opposing counsel Rgain reminded
defendant's counasl liât the witness did not
understand English, and the point was ob
vious.
Again, the following is a transcript from
the short hand report of Hie cross-examiua
of the Chinese interpreter in regard to the
sanctity of au oath :
"What did the court say to you?"
"He swear."
"Well, what does that mean ?"
"Well, that moans—I can't tell exactly
what it means, i can tell in Chinese, What
a witness say that lie can say it, and i not
tell eo lie what witness says."
"Do you know what the penalty is if you
lie—wliat will lie done to you ?"
"Bid tiling,"
"Suppose you tell a lie, would they punish
yeu ?"
"Well, bail thing."
"You don't know what would be done un
der tiie American law ?"
"Well, 1 know it very bad."
"Would you be punished ?"
"Y'es, sir."

The following opinion of Bulte mises, and

letter from H. B. White, formerly State Min
eralogist of Nevada, te a Nevada newspaper :
"On lire whole, i have never in any country
seen a more prosperous people. Everybody
is doing well. All the old timers are either
rich or in a fair way to become so. The rail
roads and tiie Butte mines will do something
great fer Montana during the nsxt few years, j
At any rate 1 shall not soon hunt for a better
country."

MINING REVIEW.
Week Ending December 24,1881.
THB GAGNON.
Stoping is still progressingsteadlly between
the 220 and 320-foot levels, with tesults if
anything more gratifying than ever to tbs
Management. The daily output of ora con
tinues as large aud the percentage of silver
and copper as great as ever. On the west
drift ef the 320-foot level rich ore is being
extracted, particularly fjom the "Fraction,"
owned by Col. Thornton individually. The
•riguial Gagnon claim Includes 3t8 feet, a< d
just west of this location lies the "Fraction,"
covering 50 feet, and making the total ot 375
feet. The west 320-fnot level has been run
into the " Fra lion," the old shaft sunk on
the latter claim bc'ug now unused. The ore
taken out on the west level is said to be par
ticularly valuable.
STEVENS.
The 200-foot level east has been runuing
for the past few day* on a rich streak of ore
about 12 inches in width. Two winzes have
been sunk from this level as far as the water
will allow, and stow the vein improved iu
quality and size. On tiie 90-foot level from
the west shaft a winze has been sunk about
12 feet on a nanow streak of ore which has
at that depth increased to two feet of 60
ounce ore. A crosscut south from tire bot
tom of tli* shaft 100 fset deeper bas cut tli*
tame ore body. The stope on tiie 90-foot
level is Ihoking well. Altogether the condi
tion of tke mine is much «ore favorable than
fer some lime past.
MOULTON.
Sine* Friday the Monlton hands have been
•njoyiDg a well-ea ned holiday. Tuesday
operations in the mine will he resumed with
renewed vigor. Since the last report drifting
has been continued east and west on the 100
foot level, aud west en ths 200-foot level, and
raising has been goisgou at tw* points on the
300-foet level. On the 400-foot level work
•n the west drift has been prosecuted, and a
raise made on the center vein.
There bas been a temporary slacking of the
mill engine on account of a bested journal,
sand having become accidentally mixed with
the Albany grease, scratching ths journal
slightly and causing it to heat, but ne serious
difficulty is contemplated, as iu a very short
time all strain will be avoided, when this im
mense piece ofmschinery gets its bearings.
Of the ere already run through the batteries
from 90 to 96 per cent, has been cbloridized
without difficult. The Cornish pu tops will be
at w uk in about two weeks. An average of
all ore roasted up to last night gave a chlori
nation of 9S.8 per cen..
AUSELMO,
The east drift on the 350-fcot, or lower
level, is now in about 180 feet, and the aver
ege assay and quantity of the ore lakeu out
has continued about the same.
The d stance hetweeu the two shaft» is only
only about 90 feet, the old shaft being dewn
th the same depth as the new one, the wo
being connected by a tunnel. Tl.e dtiftieast
and west on the lower level now measure 280
feet.

ORIGINAL BUTTE."
The Natioaai eompauy have been abund
antly rewarded for their large expenditures
in machinery and in tlieir magnificent new
hoisting works, by the ricii strike made some
two dajsago in the Original Butte mine.
At no great distance from the shaft on the
west drift, two hundred foot level, a body of
»relias been lapped which is five feet wide
and assays from seveniy-thres to oue hun
dred ounces iu silver, some twenty-live per
cent, copper, and giving every indication of
■.ontinnity.
ALICE AND MAGNA CHARTA.
It may be reasonably said of s mining
company which keeps eighty stamps «oiislant
|j engaged in reducing its ora product, that
no news is good news.
Since t lie last report in the Miner thsie
hsv# been no remarkable developments in tl.e
Alice and Magna Charta mines, but opera
tions bav* continned steadily with tiie usual
results, both mills runuing as we are inform
el to their full capacity. The levels iu the
Magna Chsria continue to expose a continu
ous body of rich ore, giving an ave age assay
considerably greater than that of the Alice
ore. The new Bruckner furnace continues to
WABASH
in this valuable mine, which is now
being developed with great energy, connec
tion lias just been made between the west
drifts on the 55 and 100 foot levels, by a
winze, exposing very rich ore. On the east
55 foot level stoping is going on vigorously,
the ore taken out yielding 150 ounces to the
ton.
Chinese Courts.
in addition to the regular courts provided
hy the laws of the United States fur the ad
ministration of justice, it appears that there
are in existence a«ong the Chinese here
courts, which are unknown to the general
puolic. Last evening there came to the
municipal court of this city * Chinaman, by
same Ah Sing, who slated that he had just
been mulcted iu ths sum of $300 for the
privilege of keeping a laundry in Walkerville.
The fine had been imposed by a Chinese
court, holding roguiar secret sessions iu this
city, and operating under a aysteui utterly
foreign to any judicial principles known to
the laws of tli* United States.
Ah Sing, otherwise known as Charley,
wishes to start a laundry in Walkerville, and
accordingly proposed to buy out Sam Lee.
He now finds himself coufremed by the sen
tence of the Chinese court thpt in addition o
the consideration paid to Sam Lee, he must
pay a license fee of $300 to the Chinese
Court.
Tliis is a state of affsiie utterly foreign to
the civilization of the U, 8. and Territories,
ami consequently demanding serious and im
mediate attention fro« the proper authorities.

ot $500. Mr, Harris gave bund yesterday
afternoon for ins appearance, with Col. W. ■
W. Botkin snd Mr. Chris. Houser as sureties.
The decision rendered yesterday morning in
the cases already mentioned as being betöre
Just ce Wilcox, was as follows ;
There is no doubt that there has been a vio
lation of tiie law, and that certain pereous
bave unlawfully interfered with the rights of
the complaining witnesses. .Sufficient evi
dence lias been produced bsfors Justice Wil
cox to warrant his liindiug over fire of the
defendants oh trial te appear before the
Grand Jury of this county, and the bond of
each on» is accordingly fixed at $250. The
name* of the parlies committed to jail, in de
fault of bail under this decision are ; Adolph

a pany to the disturbance, ana he was con
sequeuily discharged.
It is only proper to say that thesentimeut of
the better port on of tiie community sustains
the decision rendered iu the e cases, ard up
holds decidedly every effort made by the
courts of the county and township to enforce
an impartial administration of the law in
favor e f and against all persons arraigned,
win ther they be whit* or colored, natives or
foreigners.
THE SMALLPOX.
The Happy Termination of a Great
Soare.
A day or two ago Wi'liam Haines was dis
charged Irorn attendance in tiie capacity of
nurse on the smallpox patients, aud we are
now enabled to inform the oublie that iu ail
probability the probationary period is pasisd,
and that all known smallpox patienta will be
discharged by the Board ot Health from Med
ical supervision early in the coming week.
There is at present only one smallpox pa
tient in the pest lions*—Otto Abellng, who
was taken Llitre nearly two weeks ago. The
patients quarantined inside the city limits, at
the horses of Mrs. Drak* and Mrs. Yates
have been for some time convalescent, and
will be discharged in a day or tw*.
J. J. Smith, who had a mi Id case of vario
loid, and who lias been for some time doing
service as a nurse, was released from duty
last nigiit. Several weeks having now passed
since tiie occurrence of any trash case ef th*
d sease, and the patients uuder treatment
having been cured and now pronounced out
of danger and beyond the risk of spreading
the contagion, the public may feel definitely
.ssured the danger is passed, and that Butts
is »gain restored lo that condition of health
which lias ever b»*n its distinguishing char
acteristic.
