Oil Tlieir Reservation.
From a deer hunter who is in this morn
ing from Nevlilffi creek 'West Side we :
learn that there are several lodges of In-|
dian- presumably Flatheads) on Nevada
creek hunting and slaying deer. These In- ;
dians as well as all other- in Montana,
cannot leave their reservation without vio
lât iig the law. It is known by all hunters
that when a band of Indians camp on the
deei trails, it amounts to a slaughter, and
that they so surround the game that lew
escape. Major Ronan. F. S. Indian agent
oi the Flatheads, was so obliging last fall j
that as soon as lie was apprised that his
Indians wereofl' their reservation and hunt
ing deer near Fyon's Hill, he -eut a mes- |
senger and called them l»u< k. It is hoped >
he will lie as vigilant now and save the !
game that would lie mercilessly slaughtered

The presence in Helena for the past tew
days of Mr. Harvie, of the Livingston
Enterprise is explained by overtures said
i to have Wen made by Mr. Toole for the
' support of that |>a[ier in the Delegate con
test. Jt transpires that an impediment to
the negotiations is Mr. Wright, one of the
proprietors oi the Enterprise, and to placate
or get rid of that gentleman and place the
paper on an incorporation basis and subject
to the requirements of Mr. Toole are mat
ters of some diplomatic difficulty. How
ever. it is understood from Democratic
sources that the negotiations are in a fair
way of consommation, and that the "press
fund " to the necessary extent will present
ly he drawu upon and the Enterprise
wheeled into line. The sums already in
vested in the uewly established organs and
for those secured by direct purchase is
rumored to reach into the thousands, and
it seems but reasonable that the sacrifice
demanded by the Livingston paper should
lie projiortionately compensated. The
"ho -ses" should be brought to terms or the
bargain declared off.

Three parts of silver is required to one

cles resembling black sand, and the silver
goes into solution with the nitric acid,
forming nitrate of silver, and when thus in

The water is poured oil aud the chloride
of silver thus obtained is mixed with car

the soda combining with the chlorine and
setting the silver free and reducing it to

loss of silver.
The gold precipitated by the action of
the acid is also melted iu a crucible with

The Convention.
,
J
I Yellowstone Journal, j
The Republican Territorial Convention of
1886 was in many respects a notable gath
ering. The largest, tbe most thoroughly
representative, and tbe most determined
in its efforts, it yet conducted the most ex
citing contest ever known in the history of
Republican politics in the Territory, with
out a suspicion of rancor or a shadow of
disappointment or ill-feeling at the result.
There were men of settled convictions
there, and they upheld those convictions
to the end, but the underlying question
with each delegate and each delegation
was, Who is the strongest candidate we
can put up? The personality of the man,
except as related to his strength as a ean
didate, was nowhere discussed or c on
»idered.
AS ATTRACTIVE EXHIBIT.
Wlmt the Northern Pacitie is Showing
nt .Minneapolis.
Gne of the most attractive displays at
the Minneapolis Exposition is the exhibit
made by the Northern Pacific railroad,
says a correspondent. It embraces a col
lection of unusually fine samples of agri
cultural and vegetable products, specimens
of rich minerals, native woods, building
stone, brick, tile and coal, anil samples of
fruits from the several States and Terri
tories traversed by the road. The exhibit,
tastefully decorated with golden grains
and grasses, occupies a conspicuous space
on the second door in the center of the Ex.
po-ition building, fronting the grand foun
tain and rockery. Wheat, oats, barley, rye
and tiax in the straw are shown in great
abundance and comprise the varieties
grown in Minnesota. North Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The
native and cultivated grasses from these
regions are exhibited in great variety and
of luxuriant growth, including clover,
timothy, alfalfa, red top, blue stem, buffalo
and bunch grass. Some oi the samples of
wheat aud oats in the straw stand nearly
seven feet high, aud samples ol timothy
stand over seven leet high, with heads
measuring over eleven inches in length.
Among the samples of wheat are the
! Scotch fife, Saskatchewan, little club, Aus
tralian club, mammoth, peerless, seven
rowed, golden anil purple velvet, black
African, defiance, white Russian, amber,
Egyptian, and white Australian. The
mineral specimens are from the mining
districts iu Montana, Washington, Idaho
and the Fake Superior regions. The fruits
are exceptionally tine, and include sam
ples of apples and grapes from Min
nesota. apples from Montana, aud
apples, jiears peaches, plums apricots,
prunes and grapes from Washington and
! Oregon. There are large spec imens of coal
from the coal mines aloug the road, petri
' lied wood from the Bad Lands, line sam
ples of wool from North Dakota, Montana.
Washington and » »regou. samples of sugar
lroiu the sugar beer, and medicinal salts
from the waters of Medical Fake, iu Wash
ington Territory. Samples of the native
woods from the forests along the road are
shown iu great variety, among which
stands a segment of a Douglas fir tree from
Puget Sound, Washington, eight feet in di
ameter. with bark five inches thick, and
planks lrom the Puget Sound fir .'>2 inches
wide and 1* feet long. The ornamental
woods shown in the exhibit are notably
line. The magnificent and artistic display
stand on which the fruits are placed on ex
hibit, was built in Oregon from the orna
mental woods growing in Oregon and
Washington Territory. The stand was
brought from the general land office of the
! Northern Pacific Railroad Company in
Portland, Ore., for use at the Minneapolis
I Exposition. The samples of threshed
! grains, consisting of '"No. 1 hard " spring
wheat from Minnesota and North Dakota,
the various soft varieties of wheat, and
oats, barley, rye and flax, grown along the
line of the Northern Pacific, are displayed
by the .sack. The samples of vegetables
are large and fine. Potatoes from Mon
tana over two pounds in weight and which
j had not attained their full growth when
' gathered, assert their claim to notice. The
preserved fruits, comprising surprisingly
large pears, peaches, plums, strawberries,
gooselierries and prunes, put up in Wash
ington Territory and Oregon, are much
admired, especially by the ladies : and
the hops from the Pupal lup valley,
prepared by Mr. E. Meeker, of
Washington Territory, are unusually large
and of fine quality. The display of fruits
! by Senfert Brothers, fruit growers at The
Dalles, on the Columbia river, Oregon,
tempt the palate ot all who view them.
1 The splendid samples of agricultural pro
ducts, contributed by citizens from various
points along the line of the Northern Pa
| cilic railroad for display at this exhibit,
; bear evidence of the highly productive
qualities 0 f the soil of the regions tra
I versed by the line, while the -pecimens of
! the precious metals, native woods, coal,
copper and iron show that that this fruit
j f u i |^it of country is favored with wonder
j f u ]iy r j c h natural resources. The exhibit
attracts the general attention of visitors
to the exposition, and eve^y farmer will
lind a careful inspection of the display
liotli interesting and instructive. The
Northern Pacific railroad had an equally
fine exhibit at the Minnesota »State fair
last week, and the judges selected to in
spect the railroad exhibits at the fair
grounds awarded the first premium and
gold medal to the Northern Pacific for the
liest exhibits of product* displayed at the
fair.

Fast.
—A French Canadian by the name of
Baker was instantly killed last week on
La Marsh creek, a tributary of Big Hole
river. Baker was felling timber, in whieh
a dead tree had lodged. As soon as the
tree which he was chopping began falling,

in Canada were notified.
—There is all manner of railroad talk
floating about, the principal conjecture liein g
as to the probability of running the line

generally thought that it will be done
next summer, whether the Helena and
Boulder branch i* Unlit or not.— Dillon
Tribune.
—There are two little girls in Helena
who would not chnuge place- with any
queen in the world. And the reason for
this is that they have jnst received a
splendid present from their father iu the
shape of a light spring wagon of diminu
tive size and a pair of Shetland ponies
1 just large enough to poll the wagon. The
whole turn out is the prettiest ever seen
on onr street*, and Fannie and Altie Child
will be much envied by their young friends
I here on account of its possession.
Mr. M. L. Et lunch, now in the city
with his brother George, put up the first
log cabin on the site of Helena, in the fall
of 1SG4. The cabin was between Water
and Joliet streets, in the south part of the
j city. Cal. Clawson and George Horner
occupied the cabin with the Balfinch boys.
The old settlers couting back can hardly
find the sites of their old claims. They
little thought there would he .any value to
! their claims after the gold dust was taken
ont. John Zeigler is still a resident of the
city, who helped put up that first log cabin.
Helena and its Horse Car*.
When a city reaches a certain stage of
1 progress it becomes necessary that it should
have a horse car line. Helena has evi
; dently reached this point, for the tracks !
are laid in onr midst and merely await
the cars for the company to liegin opera- I
I tions. These have just arrived from the
I Pullman car company, and are models of
comfortable horse cars. They are fitted
up with all the latest conveniences in use
u pon the horse cars in the East, and each
one is a r ecimen of the Pullman com
pany's finest work. They are c omfortably
cushioned and hung in such a way that
the many curves on lower Main street will
be passed without a jolt. The company
have purchased some ten head of horses
and have engaged their drivers. The cars
will be bronght up from the station with

lx contradiction of the report that Mr.
| Mahler would stick as the Democratic
' nominee for Treasurer, that gentleman
yesterday informed all inquirers of his in
tention to decline. Mr. Dahler's objections
are that his mining operations and business
engagements require his absence most of
the time from the county ; that his in
terests are principally in Madison county
and in the Cœnr d'Alene country, and that
even if elected to an office in Lewis and
Clarke he could not serve in the discharge
of its duties. In this light of the case
there can be bnt one course for Mr. Dahler
to pursue—decline the nomination forced
upon him without his knowledge or con
sent.
