ARIZONA AFFAIR8.
Governor Sulick, of Arizona, 1ms ad
dressed the following communication to
the Secretary of the Interior: "I deem it
my duty through you to call the attention
of the Treasury Department to the evils of
smuggling carried on between Arizona and
the State of Sonora, Mexico. The coun
ties of Pima and Cochiz have a border of
several hundred miles along the Mexican
frontier, over which the smugglers cross
upon unfrequented trails, bringinginto this
Territory-the products of Mexico without
let or hindrance from the United States
customs authorities. There are within Ari
zona 20,000 inhabitants of Mexican origin,
the national drink, of whom is mescal, a
liquid distilled iroin the Cactus plant,
thousands of gallons of which are annualy
consumed by them, all of it being manu
factured within the borders of our sister
Republic. Hardly a gallon pays duty.
Hundreds af thousands of Mexican cigars
and quantities of tobaceo, to say nothing
of beef cattle, horses, mules, etc., which
lire smuggled." In this connection the
Governor includes an extract from the re
port of the last grand jury in support of
his assertions, and concludes as follows:
•'In order to enforce the customs law of the
United States I would respectfully recom
mend that four mounted inspectors be ap
pointed by tlie department to be assigned
to duty along the borders of Cochiz and
Pima counties; that they be selected on
account of their familiarity with the
country; their knowledge of the by-paths
leading into Mexico; that they speak the
Spanish language and are frontiersmen."

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
General J. D. C. Adkins, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, lias submitted his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1885. The
Commissioner prefaces his report with the
statement that "it requires no seer to fore
tell or foresee the civilization of the Indian
race as a result naturally deducihle from
the knowledge and practice upon their part
of the art or agriculture, for the history of
agriculture among all people in all coun
countries intimately connects it with the

j
I
highest intellectual,uni moral development
of man. He continues: "The increase of
the interest manifested m agriculture since
agricultu
the opening of last spring and the prepara
tion on several reservations for a still in
creased acreage in farming are among the
hopeful signs of Indian progress and devel
opment. This brings me directly to a con
sideration of the
which should be adopted by Congress and
the Government in the management of the
Indians. It should be industriously and
gravely impressed upon them that they
must abandon their tribal relations and
take land in severalty, as acorner-stone to
their complete success in agriculture which
means self support, personal independence
and material thrift. The Government
should, however, in order to protect them,
retain the right to- their land in trust for
twenty-five years or longer, but issue trust
patents at once to such Indians as have
taken individual holdings, when the In
dians have taken their lands in severalty
in sufficient quantities and number of
acres in each holding, .»vhich may and
should vary in different localities accord
ing to the fertility, productiveness, cli
mate and other advantages. Then hav
ing due regard to the immediate and future
early needs of the Indians, the remaining
lands of their
RESERVATIONS SHOULD BE PURCHASED
by the Government and opened to home
stead entry at 50 or 75 cents per acre. The
money paid by the Government for their
lands should be held in trust in 5 per cent,
bonds, to be invested as Congress may pro
vide, for the education, civilization and
material development and advance of the
Red race, reserving for each tribe its own
money. If this policy were adopted sys
tematically by the Government it would be
strange if in five years from its inaugura
tion und establishment there should beany
Indian of any tribe who would refuse to
accept so favorable and advantageous a
measure. Every step taken, every move
made, every suggestion offered, everything
done with reference to the Indians should
be with a view of impressing upon them
that is the policy which has been perma
nently decided upon by the Government in
reference to their government. They must
abandon the tribal relations, they must
give up their superstitions, they must for
sake their sa vage habits and learn acts of
civilization, they must learn to labor and
learn to rear their families as »vhite people
do and to kno»v more of their obligations
to the Government and society. In other
words they must
LEARN TO WORK FOR A LIVING
and they must understand that it is their
duty to send their children to school.

Indians, fully half of »»horn have declined !

vated by the five civilized tribes, the num- i
her of acres in cultivation by the Indians |
during this year was 248,241, an increase
of 18.473 over last year's figures. Refer- j

Special Correspondence of The Mines.
Helena, December 2.— The criticisms of
the Helena press on the Grand J ury report
have been of a non-committal character.
The Independent, after assuming a mede of
praise as to the effect of its action in brac
ing the jnry through its columns, concludes
with the commendation: "Well done good
and faithful servants." and rests there
The Herald also praises the action of the
Grand Jury and is willing to let the matter
drop. As a matter of fact, there was
strong element in the Grand Jury anxious
for an indictment in. several instances
where indictments should have been found
but the parties criminated held the balance
of power in the personnel of the jury, and
in spite of the strenuous efforts of the mi
nority carried the day.
Mr. Chessman, the foreman of the jury,
is County Commissioner, Cuthbert's
brother-in-law, and also fathered the
Court House bill through the Legislature
THE END NOT YET.
The end is not yet. So far, in spite t>f
the strong censure, the County Commis
sioners have not resigned, and the only
course 'eft open is for the taxpayers ti
call a meeting for the purpose of obtaining
an injunction and stop further erection
until the demands of the Grand J ury have
been complied with and a strict examina
tion made into the matter. As a whole,
the Grand Jury have shown a want of
backbone, and the undercurrent of public
opinion is, that their report acknowledges
the production of evidence sufficient to
have indict* d them, and, as they cannot
now be removed, it is absurd to suppose
that a man whose actions they centured
as "unsavory, arbitrary, and unreasonable,
dictatorial." etc., would be likely to vacate
his official position, especially as it would
deprive him of the privilege of drawing the
next Grand Jury and place him at the ten
der mercies of a' jury over which he would
have no control.
The whole scandal lies in a nutshell, and
may lie resolved into a simple problem,
viz : Is it possible to build a $250,000
court bouse for $138,000 ?
The architect not only was clever enough
to get the County Commissioners to accept
his design, but also clever enough to induce
the present contractors to undertake the
fVio' afrn «• hid" nut in at the sue
work, the' straw bid" putin at the sug
gestion of the County Commissioners cut
ting a figure in the transaction.
THE CONTRACTORS INNOCENT, MAY 1IE.
Ryan & Brunton. the contractors, were
possibly fooled in the matter, and to use
a slang expression, "bit off more than they
could chew."
The architect is a smart man, undoubted
ly. and has used the county officials und
contractors to considerable purpose. As
the matter stands at présentait will cost
the county, in the opinion of competent
architects, some $300,000 before they are
through, the superstructure' being far too
heavy for the present foundation and liable
to cave in before completion, in which case
it would be laid to the site.
THE NEW ASSAYEU.
Mr. Spruille Braden, the assayer in
charge of the Helena assay office, is not
making himself as populor with the com
munity a9 he might. A letter from Boise
City, Idaho, where lie was formerly en
gaged as an assayer, to a prominent citi
zen of Helena, speaks of him as a man of
no particular political convictions, and is
not flattering as to his ability as an as
sayer, mentioning several mistakes which
lie'made there, one of over $50 and trust
ing that he would have to pay for it.
COUNTY IRREGULARITIES.
The gross irregularities committed by the
Probate Court, referred to iu the Grand
J ury report, embraces the following: Two
witnesses from Union ville were called to
! Helena and stayed here two days. The
j acting clerk in Judge Joe Davis's absence,
I raised these warrants, and upon discover»
offered to refund the money to County
Treasurer Baldwin, who refused to accept
it. Not having been regularly appointed,
the responsibility was thrown upon the
Judge, and it is whispered that a strenuous
effort was made to find an indictment, but
failed.

i BUTCHER RACE.
Knights of the Kuife to Struggle for
Supremacy.
For some time there has been consider
ably rivalry among the butchers as to
which »vas the best man in the business. In
accordance »vith American ideas the only
way to 8 ttle the matter was by a contest,
and there could be no contest without a
bet. Yesterday the parties and their friends
met and agreed upon a match, «he terms of
agreement being as follows:
Butte City, December 1, 1885.
We, tbe undersigned, do hereby agree to
aress t»vo cattle each. The cattle to be
slaughtered and described as follows : The
cattle to be steers and of uniform weight,
and age. We both agree, after the cattle
are speared and bled and heads taken off,
that both cattle shall be set up on the
pritch, and at the word "go" from the
referee, the man winning the first choice of
the first two of the four head selected, shall
start and continue working until both cat
tle are dressed, each man to be allowed the
help of one assistant to hoist only. The
man making the best time, and whose cat
tle are in the best marketable condition,
shall take the money. All other arrange
ments to be made at the time of the meet
ing in N. J. Beilenberg's slaughter house,
where the race is to take place. This con
test is for the sum of $400, or $200 aside,
the race to take place December 6, 1885,
between the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock p. m.
A forfeit of $50 each, to be posted immedi
ately in the hands of some responsible
party chosen, the balance of the money,
$300, to be placed in the hands of the same
party at 12 o'clock on the day of the race.
Tne party failing to appear loses the for
feit of $50. William Friend.
Andrew Nelson.
The forfeit of $50 was placed in the hands
of Silas King, and as both men are in earn
est and their backers have considerable
money there will doubtless be heavy
betting. There is a rumor that there is a
dark horse in the city, who is ready and
willing to meet the winner.
Obituary.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Z. E. Thomas,
the wife of the »veil known merchant near
Meaderville, died after u very brief but
painful illness of puerperal fever. During
lier sickness the lady received not only the
best of medical assistance, but also the
kindest attention and nursing that the
loving care of her husband and friends
could suggest. A geueral favorite, the de
ceased lady will be missed by her circle of
mends, and to her husband in bereave
ment, there is extended a sympathy
genuine as it is universal.
A Mother Dying.
The readers of the Miner will remember
that some »veeks ago Mrs. McLaren came
to this city in search of her lost son, who
had disappeared from Portland. Since
that time she has been in Butte, but is un
able to learn anything of the whereabouts
of her boy. To add greatly to tbe worri
ments of the afflicted lady, her mother,
aged over 80 years, has been taken ill with
pneumonia, and is not expected to live.

ear to ear. The murder occurred some
lime between 12 o'clock and daylight, and
the body had been dragged outside of the

Madrid, December 3.—Reports are in
circulation that young Queen Mercedes has
already developed symptoms of lung dis
ease and scrofulous debility, inherited from
her father, and will never be in a proper
condition of health to -succeed to the
throne. Meetings of the prominent generals
have, within the past few days, been held
at the residence of Lopez Dominguez, and
the circumstance is exciting the suspicion
of the Government. Senor Sagasta, the
new Prime Minister, has called upon Do
minguez for an explanation of these gath
erings. The General replied indignantly to
Sagasta's demand, and advised the Pre
mier to look for conspirators elsewhere. It
is stated that Zorilla arrived at Bayonne
yesterday, but went to Bordeaux in con
sequence of a warning from the French
authorities.

A Room Brulon Into.
A complaint was made t-> the police yes
terday that the room of one of the lady
lodgers at the Oregon Lodging House had
been broken into, but it was not known
that anything had been taken, nothing
having been missed. During the day Nick
O'Connell was arrested and identified as
the suspected person. It is thought that
the evidence against him is very limited,
and it will be very hard to obtain a con
viction. However, the case will be before
the Police Court to-day, aud Judge French
will endeavor to arrive at the facts of the
matter.
Tbs Bate Crackers Again.
Another safe breaking was Attempted
yesterday morning between 5 and 7 o'clock
on tbe club rooms of Levy & Gibson, on
the corner of Main streer, and West Broad
way, over Clark & Larobie's bank. When
the games were closed, about 4 o'clock, the
affairs of the bunk were straightened up, as
is customary, and about 5 o'clock the
night shift went home, the doors
all being locked ana the entrance
to tie rooms being made as secure as
possible. When the janitor came around
to clean up the place, he imagined from trie
appearance of the floor that a blacksmith
had moved into the premises. The first
thing he ran across »vas a crowbar lying
just inside the door. Another glance re
vealed a jackscrew. and lying by the door
of the safe was a broken drill, while an ex
amination showed that a hole had been
started near the lock on the iron-box, but
the drill had broken off in the hole. This
accident or the approach of some one had
evidently frightened the cracksmen off, as
there were no further evidences of their
having done any work. The doors were
locked when the porter arrived, and un
doubtedly an entrance had been effected by
means of a key of some description. The
tools discovered had evidently been pilfered
from a shop around town, and ought to be
«asily identified, as the letters "W. K." art
cut ou the crowbar, but the other th-'ngs
are not marked. The rooms are in the
very heart of the city and are seldom un
occupied except for a lew hours in the early
part of the morning, and a burglar who
would attempt to open a safe hy drilling or
blasting in such a locality must be a pro
fessional of high degree.
A Cloak Purloined.
Mention was made yesterday morning of
the reference of May Stewart to District At
torney Scallon in relation to the larceny of
her $100 seal coat. After hearing her state
ment against Ed. Smith, it »vas evident to
the Attorney that there was no evidence
whatever against Smith, and a »»arrant
was refused. It Is now supposed that dur
ing the fight in the saloon some one entered
the room and got a»vay »vith the coat, es
caping while the crowd was excitedly dis
cussing the affair.
UTAH AM) NORTHERN.
Hard at Work on Hip Route to Helena.
The track of the extension of the Utah
and Northern to Helena lias been of such
long duration that the people of both
Butte and Helena had concluded that the
project had been abandoned. It now ap
pears that the menacing attitude of the
Northern Pacific has awakened the com
pany to the necessity of protecting its
interests and being prepared for any com
petition. Some three or four years ago a
route was surveyed between Dillon and
Helena, and considerable grading done on
the line, but for some reason the work was
abandoned and not resumed until a few
days ago. At the time of the original
operations there was considerable work
done in the Jefferson canyon, but in that
difficult section there yet remains much
more to be accomplished. When a short
while ago it was determined to resume
operations it was also decided to push the
work as much as possible but with no ex
pectation of completing it this fall or
spring. With this end in view the company
now have at work in the Jefferson Canyon
a force of 300 teams fcnd 500 men and
they will be worked as long as possible. It
has also been determined to change tbe
route from Dillon to Darling in order to
avoid the heavy pull and snow over the
Apex Hill. The new road will follo»v the
course of the Beaverhead on its south side
to the intersection with the Big Hole, then
follo»ving the Big Hole Canyon up to
Darling. The Helena branch will folio»»' the
Beaverhead from its junction »vith the
Big Hole to the Jefferson and thence to
Helena. While the company are anxious
to do as much work as possible as soon aB
possible they do not expect it to be com
pleted before spring.
A BROAD GAUGE.
Referring to the »vork, the Helena Herald
says: Orders from Chief Engineer Blickens
derfer were recently received by the Cl ief
Engineer in Montana, to recommence and
push with all speed the unfinished work on
the branch from Dillon to Helena. These
orders were transmitted to surveying
parties in the field, who, we understand,
have already repaired to the scene of their
labors. With ordinary success, it is ex
pected the road will be completed to Hel
ena early in the spring—by March or April.
It is to be a standard gauge road, to cor
respond with that already built from Po
catello to Dillon, whose gauge is to be
widened at an early date. In fact, the
bridges and trestles on this part of the
road have already been replaced by stand
ard gauge structures. When this is consum
mated, the Union Pacific will have a
standard gauge road from Omaha to Hel
ena.

short time lie left and engaged as a waiter
in Mrs. Robinson's boarding house at
Walkerville. He remained there long
enough to get à few clothes, and then an

fatal journey. Andrews, although he looks
much younger, is about 20 or 21 years of
age. He is of medium build, dark com

Those who knew -lilrti sav that, notwith

bad or vicious habits, and..they speak of

MISSING MAN.
Chris
Jurgensen,'»? Anaconda, Mys
teriously Disappears.
Thanksgiving Day Chris. Jurgensen, a
rancher and cattle man »vho lives on Warhn
Springs creek, »vent to Anaconda for the
purpose of a visit and also to transact
some business. He took along with him
a fine co»v which he sold for $80 cash.
After spending the day in town he started
to return home, aud lias not since been
seen or heard from. Tjie fact of his non
return home »vas not communicated to his
neighbors in the valley until Saturda .and
they at once became alarmed. The young
man does not drink or gamble and is very
steady in his habits, hence his friends
naturally arrived at the conclusion
that he had been the victim of
foul play. Small |Arties at once began
an investigation and search in the vicinity,
but without results, and on Sunday there
was a band of fully, thirty men, well
mounted, seouringinall directions in search
of him, but they »vere reluctantly compelled
to return home »vithout any tidings. Mr.
Jurgensen is a young man about 20 years
of age, sober and industrious, and is the
only support of a widowed mother His
ranch is in excellent condition, and is re
ported to be worth fit least $5,000 or
$6,000. The peculiar part of the story is
that neither his horse nor his dog have been
seen since lie rode a»vay on the one and was
followed by the other. There are all man
ner of rumors, but the general belief is that
the young man has been waylaid and possi
bly murdered, the horse stolen und the dog
killed.
A «CAR I D ITAL'A.N.
A Vomi? Man Dons Female Attire
Gets ('apt un d
ami
Yesterday morning the attention of
Marshal Stone, and Officer McDonald was
attracted to the behavior of a crowd on
Park, just coming out of a saloon, and
particularly to the actions of a woman in
the group. She was rather a tall female,
and almost as awkward a looking creature
as you could find in the place. The rest of
the party were having a great dpal of fun
at her expense, and the wav in which they
pulled and hauled her around showed very
plainly that there was something up. The
officers finally became satisfied that in
stead of being a woman, it was a man in
disguise, and they took her or he to the
city prison. There they ascertained that
the person could not speak a word of
English, and they had to converse with
the aid of an interpreter. An examination
of the prisoner's make-up c used a loud
and hearty laugh all around. It it had not
been for the face one would ^ave thought
that he was walking backwards, for
the hat had been some way turned around
while the breast»vorks were supporting the
left arm and the frizzes were tickling the
left ear, nothing but the blushes and the
fair and handsome face being in the regu
lation position. After talking with his
friends for a few minutes the officers
learned that the whole thing was done just
for fun and that a party of friends had
persuaded him to put on the female gar
ments not knowing that the law was being
transgressed. Accordingly they released
him after a stern lecture, and the next
time the young man gets inside of such
clothes he will not do so. He was very
much scared, and seemed greatly relieved
when he walked out of the City Hall with
the clothes under his arm.
A FAMILY RUMPUS
A Proprietress, Barkeeper and Roust
about All in a Grand Row.
A regular cat-and-dog scratching match
took place at the Last Chance saloon last
night, and one of the participants in the
affair looks like he had been run through
a carding machine, his face having the skin
scratched off from theforehead to thechin,
while his opponent had his head cracked
•vith a bottle. The proprietress, May
Stewart, states that 6he had Ed. Smith
employed in the saloon as a barkeeper, and
being informed that he was not acting
squarely with her, she had employed Albert
Richards as a roustabout around the place
for the particular purpose of watching
Smith. Last evening Smith and Richards
had some words, and it is claimed that
Smith tapped Richards a stinger on the
head with a bottle. Then there »vas a
rough-and-tumble fight, and Smith got de
cidedly the worst of the racket, for his face
is beautifully ornamented »vith red stripes,
where the skin is missing, and in some »va.»
t»vo of the fingers on his left band got into
Richards' month, »vho shut, down on them
and proceeded to eat. When they were
finally separated the fingers »vere nearly
bitten in t»vo. Both »vere arrested and
gave bail until this morning.
After the arrpst of Richards, the Stewart
woman appeared upon the scene and bailed
him out, and asked for a warrant for the
arrest, of Smith for stealing her seal coat,
valued at §100. She said that she and
Smith were in her room about 6 o'clock,
nnd a fe»v minutes after Smith departeo
she missed the coat, and was satisfied that
Smith had stolen it.

The huge wooden trestles on the North
ern Pacific Railroad west of Missoula are
gradually being replaced by iron bridges.
Last summer the immense trestle over
Ma rent's gulch, about fifteen miles from
Missoula, »vas torn down and a substantial
iron structure erected in its place without
the slightest interruption to traffic. The
bridge here, at its highest point, is 236 feet
above the bottom of the gulch. O'Keefe's
trestle, a similar structure 112 feet high
and a few miles east of the former, is now
to be dealt »vith in a similar manner. The
work of building the masonry for the new
bridge »vi il lie commenced this week. Tin 1
iron system of this bridge will consist oi
plate girders thirty feet in length. They will
be supported by iron bents, resting upon
solid masonry. The total length will he
650 feet. The road proposes to replace
four other high wooden trestles with iron
structures at an early day.— Helena, Her

AYER'S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints ate so insidious in thdf
attack as those affecting the throat and inngsi
none so trifled with by the majority or suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious esc
posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal
sickness. Avek's Cherry Pectoral has
well proven iu efficacy in a forty years' fight
with throat aud lung diseases, and should be
taken iu all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
"In 18571 took a severe cold, which effected
my lungs, i had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. I tried AYER'S Cheuky PEC
TORAL, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perm»*
neutcure was effected. J am now 62 years
Old, hale aud hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral saved me.

Rockingham, Vt., July 15,1862.
Croup.—A Mother's Tribute.
"While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup;
It seemed as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less ttian half an hour tho
little patient was breathing easily. The doo*
tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had
saved niv darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude ? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Emma Gednty.'*
169 West 128th St., New York, May 16, 1883.
" I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
I n my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and colds we have eve»
tried. A. J. Crank.'*
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13,1882.
•' I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis^
and after trviug many remedies with no sno*

Byhalia, Miss., April S, 1682.
"I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, believing as I do that
but for its use I should long since have died
from lung troubles. K. Bkagdon."
Palestine, Texas, April 22,1662.
No ease of an affection of the throat or
lung* exists which cannot be greatly relieved
by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
and it will always cars when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.
