The birth-dajr party given by Mrs. Enos
Swao, West Gallatin, on the evening of
ihe 14 h inst., to her daughter, Miss Vkila
A. Swan, p"oved a most pleasant and en
joyable affair. Many of the yonng lady's
friends were present who contributed in
making the occasion one of unalloyed joy
and merriment. Quite a number of valu
able and appropriate presents were made
to Miss Viola. Mra. Swan served a sump
tuous collation to the guests, after which
they returned to their respective homes.

Wc have bet-n shown some very beauti
ful specimens of copper ore taken from
the Poznainsky mine, Mountain lode,
which are almost entirely covered with a
film of silver. These specimens are*also
rich in copper, carrying nearly 60 per
cent, of that metal. The value in silver
is nut definitely known, as the ore basnot
been assayed for that metal. It is how
ever, variously estimated by experts to
run from 30 to 60 ounces to the ton. On
a recent visit to this mine we found the
developments made consist in the sinking
of a shaft upon the vein to a depth of 110
leetand the running of levels at 45 feet
and 100 feet from the surface.

Spend Your Money at Home.
The following are the most forcible
roasui s why you should spend your
money at home.—Ex.
lit, it is your home; you cannot im
orjPfuvc it much by taking it away to sptnd
or invest.
2d, Then is no way- of improving a
place so much as by encouraging good
nu i chants, good schools and good peo
pie to settle among you, and this cannot
the
in
of
among you, this cannot
be d.m«j unless y ou spend your money'
home.
31, Spend your money at lnme, for
there is where you generally get it. It
your duty.
4ih, Spend your money' at home bc
ause when it is ncccs-ary for you to get
credit, it is of your town merchants you
Imve tog t it. and thr'y must wait for the
money. Therefore when you have the
cash, sprnd it at home.
5tb, Spend your money at home. It
ill make better merchants of your nier
«ban's; they cm and will keep bctt«r
assortments and sell at lower rates than if
the only business tiiey can do is what is
credited out. while the money goes to
other places.
6th, Spend your money at home. Set
the example now. Buy your dry goods,
groceries, meats, and evc-rytiling at home,
and yon will sec a wonderful change in
the outlook of the pi ice; therefore, dc&l
with your home merchants.
7ih. Spend your money at liomp.
What do you gain l y going off? Count
the cost ; see what you could haye done
at home by letting your merchants have
die cash. Strike a balance and see if you
would not have beeq .just as well off,
besides helping your merchant.
8ih, Spend your money at home. Your
merchants are your neighbors, your
friends; they, stand by you in sickness—
are your associates. Without your trade
they esnnot keep your business. No
stores, then no banks, no one waiting to
buy property to settle on and build up
your place.
Another New Departure.
Having purchased the entire stock of
J, B. & J. V. Bogert's goods, we will
proceed to close out the same for cash,
n gardless of original cost. The stoca
consists in part of. Hats, Gaps, Boots and

greatest defect in the works since starting

i be process now used io tbe reduction
of ores was questioned bj many before
the starting of these works, but a trial of
three weeks has demonstrated tbe fact
that it is ail and more than has ever been
claimed for it, as sliver to over 70 per
cent, has been saved, and also a Urge
percentage cf gold—something that was
not expected. Notwithstanding user
tions to tbe contrary, with a knowledge
of ibe above facts we pronounce the mill
a success, not only in the treatment of
the ore but also in a financial point of
view, as it is paying a hand «orne profit
upon the cast of mining and milting, al
though running on second class ore.

The Bozeman Times recants wliat it
said two weeks ago about R v. E. A.
Bridger, and comes down with a very
handsome apology to that gentleman
That 's right, ftlau is the noblest work of
God, but is it no mean thing in man to lie
and then acknowledge it, especially the
acknowledging part.
Through the courtesy of Judge Blake
we have been permitted to examine the re
plies of ex-Indiin agent Dexter E Clapp,
and contractor Nelson Story to charges
prcfjrred against them by Indian Inspec
tor E. C. Kemble before tue Commission
< r of Indian Affairs. The documents are
elaborately and carefully drawn up. The
gentli men in lh<-ir defense make rather
damaging charges against several prom
inent gentlemen of the Territory, which
we believe to be false, but as the gentle
men are all and each perfectly able to de
fend themselves we do not fe» l it our duty
to take up the cudgel for them, but ten Jer
them space in our columns at any time
they may wish to avail themselves of it
for that purpose.
The Madisonian lias brief mention from
both, but as we have had our siy and ac
complished our ot ject we drop the sub
ject, as tar as persona] to ourselves. The
gentlemen make a fair showing in their
defense and are indors« d by Gov. Putts
and other prominent a id good men of the
Territory.
We learn from Air. A. II. Foster that
the barn of Mr. Dick Riddle of Twin
bridges, with a wagon. mow»r, and other
farm implements was destroyed by fire,
lust week. Dick had set out a fire to
smoke out a skunk and supposed tl at he
bad put it out before leaving it, but he
must have left some live sparks, as on his
return after a short absence lie found the
barn and contents a smouldering ruin.
The reason why John D. Lee was not
shot at «Sill I akc on Jan. 27th was because
the Supreme Court «of Utah ordered a stay
of proceedings. The case will be carried
to the U. S. Supreme Court, unless the
Territorial,courts grant him a new trial.
