The hearing of the testimony in the ca * e was^finished yesterday and a de dsion tendered at eight o'clock last night. The following is a verbatim copy of the justice's judgment, which waa in writing: The Court believing from the evi dence that there is no probable cause for believing the defendant guilty of the charge set forth in the complaint, therefore order that the prisoner be dis charged, upon the following fects: First, that he return the property to place where taken from. Second, that he pay Mr. Muir the money he received of him for the prop erty. (Signed; John O'Meara, .1 ust ice of the Peace. During the afternoon a complaint was filed before Justice O'Meara, in the name of the Territory of Montana, against Jack Hains, charging the de fendant with committing an assault with a deadly weapon, "with the intent to commit upon the person of another *a bodily injury, on January o, 1882." The complaint Is sworn to bv J. W. Rice. He is alleged to have been chopped on the nose with a claw-hammer by Hains, while they were doing some carpenter work on West Broadway. The Workingmen's Hospital Wm. Martin, the bystander who was accidentally sitôt in the Christmas shoot ing affray, had yesterday so far recov ered that be was able to leave the hos pital and walk up town. Martin states that bp wound was indicted by the first shot fired. His escape is very remark able, tile hall striking bis body a few inches above the umbilicus in such a di rection that in nine cases out of ten the wound would have proved fatal. In Martin's case the hall glanced around the muscles of theabdomen, and was re moved at a distance of some nine iuches from its point of penetration, causing only a slight injury*. CumplM.ll, tlie remaining survivor, continues to improve mpidly. The ease with which his wounds heal show's him to tie possessed of a vigorous and powerful constitution. It is said Bodie Joe stated some hours liefere ids death tiiat lie could have shot Campbell in the liody easily—thus indicting a more serious wound in all probability, hut that he was aiming for his (Cani]> bcll's) face. The fact that three shots wert* received by the wounded man in his right arm, while held up .and in front of his face, goes to sulistantiate tile accuracy of this statement. John Chinaman in Court At a session of a Western court some years ago a Chinaman was on trial on the cliargeof stealing a pistol. He proved conclusively that the pistol produced in court as the one stolen was his owu ; ttmt p,. i, a ,i bought it and that it had I been ill his |iossessioii long before tho al leg«il theft took place. The ease went to tha jury at 12 o'clock, the time for the adjournment of court, and the jurymen not wishing to Ik* kept till court opened again at » o'clock, hurried to give in their verdict. The foreman, turning to the rest in the Is*x,said: "Well, boys what do you say ? Let us give him two years in the penitentiary." Another ans wered : "All right, put him through or the judge will adjourn." And another said ; "Goahead, hurry up, or we will have to stay here lilt » o'clock.* Just at tills juncture a quiet old gentleman on ; the jury suggested ; "But is he guilty?" j The foreman rescinded: "Guilty? A\ ell : —the odds, we want our dinner, and it ! he Mint guilty why clear him." Ho (lie verdict was immediately handed in, j been w itmesed t\v a gentleman ; i 1 j .">">>« jrulHy."

Public Ophiion cn the Question. a a to «• i ! an in tin issue of the MlNKB some days j ago the following statement was made as to the decision rendered by the ex amining cour: in regard to the ditlicm- ( th-s bet wet'ii the woodeluipinrs at High- ^ hind Park: i "Mifiieienl evidence has bill pro duced before Justice Wilcox to warrant bis I finding over five of the defendants on trial to app«*ar before tlu»Grand Juin * it is only sentiment of tho of tiiis eouniy. proper to sav that tlu iK'tier |K»rti«»n of tlie «i*nimunity ii|i iiold.s dtviditliy every effort made by the diurlsof tlie county and township to enforce an impartial administration of the law in favor of and against all person* arraigned, whether they be while or color. d, natives or foreigners. There is no evidence that the senti ment of this «»r any other civilized com munity on this proposition lias under gone or could undergo a change. The question of cheap foreign labor against white labor, at living prices, is to a il to hi is of in to be bo doubt that this Is la the of of the Butte who offered to go ball fcr W. McMillan, one of the bound over as b e for e stated. Two of the number were yesterday accepted as suf ficient bail, and Mr. McMillan waa re leased. It is stated that the others can be bailed out to-day if they desire it, and that a league has been formed among the white men of this and surouading camps to uphold their rights against the invasion of cheap Mongolian labor. In this they no doubt will succeed, but they should reflect that success in their undertaking can be easily obtained, with tho support of public sentiment, and in strict accordance with law. There is and need be no occasion for any viola tion of the laws of Montana or of the United States. Public sentiment sup ports the white man, and it supports the law as wall. It waa stated yesterday, on good au thority that the Chinamen now chop ping wood are at wrork on their o wn re sponsibility and are not backed up by any wrhite men. That they are chopping for the purpose of reimbursing Charley, the Chinese contractor, for the loss he sustained when tha Chinese were're cently driven from the woods, and that this will be accomplished in two week's time, when they will all disband and leave the timber. Charley, the contract or, states that he lost nearly $300 in axes and flour by the last stampede. Butte Correspondents. The .Salt Lake ""Tribune" and the ' Virginia City "Madisonian" each liaa a correspondent in this city. The last is sues of these papers contain letters from Butte acolumn long. It is a tact to be noted with sorrow that the daily papers published in this city do not meet the approbation of the persons who write these letters. The disapproval of the Madisonian's correspondent is so gener al as to make ao exception, and yet he or she mentions no names. The opin ion is advanced that Butte lias no place on the uuips and may consequently be unknown to theinhabitantsof Virginia, although further on in the letter tiie in Imbitants of that city are represented as crowding over to the town of which they are sup|iosed to know so little. This is a fact (?) which is truly distressing. Again it is alleged in the columns of tlie"MadUoniau" that this is "entirely a metallic country," of which the priu ipal productions are silver and j*oliti cians. It is not stated which metal the politicians represent, hut if the general tone of the writer's communication is any clue to his or her alleged meaning, we should sav brass. This communica tion is loaded down with classical allu sions to Broltdigmig and "ministering angles," and is indeed so varied in style and so novel in contents that all sorts ot readers should be pleased. Towards tin* end of the letter is an exceedingly taste ful and courteous allusion to "the well fixed Micks" who are supposed to con stitute our piomiiient citizens The letter to the Salt t <ake "Tribune" | purports to have been written on 8un- : day, January 1, and yet contains criti- j cHiiiK on a holiday |M|*er published in j Butte which did not make its appear- | a nce until the following Tuesday. The j only inference is that the writer was a j contributor to that holiday paper, and ! judged it by the standard of his own j productions. But the "stoyle of it " is | what distinguishes this very remarkable j letter. It lays down the law of mining j hieation* with felicitous novelty, and ■ covers " most all" tho ground about j Butte, in ragard to which it delivers it se»f of the oracular opinion lout it, "the ground about Butte, is too valuable to he overlooked."

Ir wouhl be «ijuully lucid t«» say the writer's perc«*pii«>iis an* as large, lhough mu as strong, as some piece- «ü «• lieese.

Mr. Harpin Davis, whose leg was broken by a fall from the Belmont stage, is in the hospital in Helena, and is said to he doing well. vnw t,lU * «»«ruing to give its readers the fol 7, Owing to a lack of spam the report of late weak covered only a small propor tion of the important mines of the Hum mit Valley District. The following Re view relates to mines not then Honed: There are two ways for a mine-owner or superintendent to signify his desire that tho public should not be made ac qainted with the condition of his mine; or, in other words, that it should not be published in the local papers. One way is for the superintendent! owners, fore man, and man at the hoist, all to pro fess the most profound ignorance of the state of aflhirs down the shaft and to maintain with grave (aces that they know nothing about anything. This seems so exceedingly probable to an in quirer that it takes away his breath at once and stops all further questions. He naturally concludes that if they know nothing, nobody will know anything. * Another way is for the superintendent, foreman, man at the hoist, or owner, as the case may be, to say, politely and pleasantly, that there is at present noth ing to publish, and that as soon as he is at liberty to do so he will be glad to ftir nish the desired information. Some persons who pursue the latter method in this as in other callings, find that they lose nothing thereby. THE LEXIXUTOX. From an obliging member of the com pany, who was in a position to know of what bespoke, the Mixer is enabled lowing information in regard to tlie present condition and progress of the Lexington mine and mill : The shaft is now down between 2S5 and 2D0 feet, and in a short time will lie sunk to the three hundred-foot level, on which a cross cut will be run to tlie main vein. No cross cut was run from the new shaft iu the 100-foot level, as the old shaft had been sunk to that depth. On the âilO-foot level drifting is pro gressing steadily, and indeed through out the wholè mine work is at present directed simply to thorough develop ment. No stojies have yet been com menced on the 2lM)-foot level, as stoping will not lie necessary, nor a part af the general plan of w'ork, until the stumps in the new mill art? ready to drop. This will not be the c»se probably u.itil June. None of the machinery for the new mill has yet arrived, with the ex ception of a magnificent electric light, which is now ready to Is* put in position in the mill. The dimeiisions'of the mill, which isa v ery handsome structure, an* as follows: length, 398 feet; width at varions points, 44 ft.,35 ft., 32 ft., 27 ft.; height from entrance of ore tramway (from hoisting works) to lowest jioint, 61 feet. In some places from the lowest point to the sum mit of the roof the distance is greater by 40 feet than the one already given. THE ALICE. The fact that the Alice mine proper is considering the depth, one of the most thoroughly developed mines in llu* country, is apparent to any one who makes a careful examination. Such au observer secs no signs of diminution in tlie general value of the veifis from the MO to the TtUbfoot level. All the levels are apparently worked as usual, and tho usual quantities of ore taken out. But one thing is apparent, and tiiat is tiiat a great saving in the working of Hie Alice mine, and the supply of ore to the two ».»ills, can he made by sinking another shaft. By this means a greater quant ily oi* ore « an Ik* taken out at a less « xjk iis«* without going t«» su«*h a gr«*:it depth. F«*r tiiis reason tlu* money whh*h would othenvise be jiaid out in the shape of a Sio.nnn dividend will for the present be devofed t*> theobj.*«ts abov«* mentioned. . Indeed anc»tlu*r shaft is |H»silively mi^d ed, since the present «me win not In* used effectually and «*coiioi»d**ally to a mu« ii '.'rcr.tj r depth. Tin: MA* «NA «HA 1 ÎT.V.

Tiie sec ond south vein is liaely tobe rcnchc«! in 10» I feet from the shaft. THE HOCLTOX. Work in the Moulton mine is at pres ent confined to the one, two and three hundred foot levels. On the 100-foot level drifts have hon ran eaat and west about thirty feet on the north vain. The ore found is Ant into, but no Moping is being done here at present. On the 900-foot level drifts are being ran east and west on the center vein, and aie In about 100 feet eaeh way. On the eaat drift two or three slopes are being worked, undo good deal of good ore Ja being extracted. The winze from the eaat drift on this level h— already been connected with the raise from the eaat drift on the 900-foot level, in which good ore waa found. On the 900-foot level a drift is being ran west ou the center vein, and is in about 200 feet, some stoping being done on this drift. Theeastdrift on this level has tieen run to the Alice line, and at that poiut a raise is being »»«**!*> to connect with a winze from the level above. On the 300-foot level drifting is being done east on the north vein, and two stopes are being worked. The drift is in about loo feet, and good ore is being taken out. The average output now is about from 25 to 80 tons per day, which aiuouut will not be increased until the Cornish pumps arc ready to be operated—about February 1st. The main vein will then be worked on the 400-foot level, and all the veins on the 500-foot level. The mill machinery is running smoothly, twenty stamps working with ease and regularity. THE MOUNTAIN CONSOLIDATED. The new hoisting works of tlie com pany have been built on the Burnet 1«* cation, one of their several contiguous claims. The building proper is 74 fee long and 00 feet wide. The boiler house is 30x28 feet. The hoisting engine has 10x14 cyliuder, and comes, as does ul! the machinery, from the Pacific Iron Works at Han Francisco. Vestenlay the smoke s»ack was being hoisted in position by means of a derrick support some 80 feet high. The smoke stack is 70 feet by 50 inches, und the two I toilers now in have a 04-inch shell 10 feet in length. The boilers are ready for use, and oficmtioii* will lie begun to-day, pntliahly, liy which time the smoke stuck will lie in position. The shaft is now down some (k) u et and is being sunk steadily. It is a thriv compartnient shaft, IS), feet long and t> feet wide. It is being sunk iierpendicu larly, und the intention of tliccouiiKiny is to cross-cut from the 250-foot level. THE CLBAlt IS KIT. All the machinery at the Gle:?r Grit Is in place, and the Knowles vertical pump* will he put in during the coming week. The puini>s have a six-inch hor izontal, ! icing tlie same size as those in use at the Htevens and Morning Star mines. Tlie shaft is now down lin fivt. it will he sunk to the 120-foot level, and from that station a cross-cut will lie run south into the vein. The dip oftlie vein seems to lie als»u( 70 degrees, and tlie shaft is being sunk at about the same angle, along the foot-wali of the ledge, and followingtlie latter steadily. This ledge was first struck at a depth of -Vi feet,attlio water level, and haseontiuued from that point down the depth of I in ft. to give first-class assays. Between those {Miinls the lowest assays have Ih*ch 70 ounces and $12.00. A sample is taken every four feet, as thuUirs are put in, and this l«w»t-w:il! bilge, now lieing worked, is alsmt eighteen inches wide. HELL OF m ITK.

J j j i I j j ; j Vown and Tanalman : Thz Batte terminus of tke Utah A Northern road already présente the ap pearance of a thriving town in itself. It is indeed so near the city Huit», and such a short distance east of tin south ern extension of Main street, tint there need be no danger of its rising tosper ity lowering the value of real estite fur ther to the north. The city must îeces sarily spread tremendously durin: the next eight or ten mouths, and it nqi he only natural for it to spread tnthe south, along the line of Main atreetmd rast of it. The business centre of he city, that is to say, the point urou<i which business revolves, where b> I sinks, post oftlee and markets are sit\ ated, will proliably remain where it h or not move further than one square U the south. But it Is only reasonable to expect to see the swarm of smaller re tail stores, shops, bakeries, confection eries and boarding.*house's spread over and fill up tlie now vacant sjiaee be tween the south town site and the depot grounds. A stranger arriving in the city a day or two ago noticed fewer men on the streets and around the gaming houses. The truth is tiiat improved real estât«* is and has Iteen in such demand as t«» force many men to defer permanent re* hlence until the building season opens again.
