A NEW DEAL.
Organization of a hew Publishing Com
pany in Butte.
Town Talk, Feb. 17th.
To-day the formation of The Free Press
publishing Company, a corporation under
the laws of Montana, was effected, and the
papers were dispatchedfor filing in the office
of the Secretary of Montana, and a copy was
deposited in the office of the Clerk and Re
corder of this county.
The incorporators are R. M. Cobban, W.
C. Oakley, A. E. Pound, J. E. Hendry and
,J. A. Hyde, all of Butte. The chief place of
business will be Butte, the term of existence
twenty years, the paid up capital $7,000. The
objects of the corporation are the publication
of daily, semi-weekly and weekly newspa
pers, or any or all of them, and the conduct
of a general book and job printing business.
Beside the incorporators named, several
other gentlemen are subscribers to the stock
of the company.
it will be noted that some of the incorpo
rators of the Free Press Company are now
connected with the Town Talk, and in ex
planatioa it may be said that the plant and
tmsiness of this paper is merged into the
new company. As soon as the organization
is completed the transformation will take
effect, and the Toewn Talk will be the Free
Press-the prosprietors believing that the
present name is .f.too narrow and peculiarly
local a significanee to carry at the head of a
paper which is expected to attain a much
wider circle of patronage and influence than
the immediate locality of its publication.
Hence the name Free Press was selected as
being broad, appropriate and honorable.
The completion of the arrangements now
fully inaugurated contemplate material im
provements in the character and conduct of
the paper, but its general policy will remain
the same. The Pree Press will be the legiti
mate heir and suceessor of the Town Talk,
and as close a pattern of its policy and man
agement as will be consistent with improve
*ments in every department.
THE BAND BALL.
At the Pavilion, Washington's Birthday.
The Ball to be given under the auspices of
,the Deer Lodee Cornet Band and Social
'Orchestra, at the. Pavilion next Monday
-evening, will, of course, be as it should-the
!great dancing event of the season; and all
who indulge in the saltatory art, or even do
the decorative business as wall-flowers, have
;the evening of the 22d get apart for this occa
sion. The band and orchestra, under-direc
tion of Prof. 1hbodes, will both be out in full
force, furnishing the music for the occasion,
which alone would be a sufficient attraction.
'The supper will be furnished by the ladies of
.the W. C. T. U. at 750 cents each. The man
agement Is sufficient to insure all that can be
'dlesired. Tile grand march will.begin at 9
o'clock sharp, and it is requested that dancers
lbe on the floor at that hour. The supper
'room will open At 11 o'clock. Tickets are
'now on sale, and procuring them in advance
Swill obviate delays and inconveniences at

and was identified with the Brown Bro.'s in
several of their mines.
We met John O'Neill on the street the
other morning, and he said: "I just left
something in the office for yon." "Thank
you," was the reply- supposing, as usual,
that it was a bill. It was instead, however,
a half-size bust of General Grant, in clay,
and a very acceptable gift indeed. Thanks.
Among the recent additions to our ex.
change list is the Centerville Mining Journal,
W. J. Penrose, editor and manager. It is a
very handsome and carefully edited paper,
and undismayed by a fire disaster almost at
its inception, the manager proposes to at
once purchase new material. Mr. Penrose
was formerly connected with the Miner, and
Is a good writer.
It seems that Harvey Mangrum and Mike
Gregerich, of Anaconda or vicinity, have
been recently receiving anonymous letters,
written in Silver Bow or Deer Lolge coun
ties, threatening them with murder. Sheriffs
Sullivan and McMaster have therefore joined
in offering a reward of $300 for the arrest and
conviction of the persons writing such let
lers, and they have the letters to assist in ohe
detection.
There is one great, crying want of Mon
tana, of which we haie seen no mention in
the newspapers-that is less duplication of
"plate matter." The American Press Asso
ciation, of Chicago, furnishes the plates, and
Montana papers use so many that the same
matter appears in several papers. If we are
all going to do "plate" business, it is to be
hoped the A. P. A. will increase its facilities
or some new house start up and furnish
ceually as good.
Delegate Toole should give attention to
the lack of: mail facilities at Race Track.
The office supplies a large, permanent farm
ing community with mails, and the Depart
ment has failed to provide for carrying the
mail between the station and postofilce
about one mile. This evil has continued for
some time, and should be rectified without
delay. Postmaster Hoyt now has to send to
`Deer Lodge, eight miles, at his own expense,
for the mails, which should be delivered at
his office.
The stork has been for years in style for
all kind of decorative purposes, and its use
was becoming so frequent and essential that
a couple of weeks agq the Deer Lodge Ly
ceum submitted an inquiry as to where they
were protected by law, doubtless with a view
to having that cobweb mgis thrown over
them ' wherever necessary-something like
the Montana game laws, under the provi
sions of which white citizens have permitted
themselves, figuratively speaking, to be
trampled under foot by game, while
wandering bands of Indians have come
in after it was lured by non-moles
tation to the valleys and foothills,
and practically exterminated it. However,
this-is not the purpose of this paragraph.
We merely designed to mention to the ladies
that the stork is passe-gone, tabooed, fired
out, "suspended for cause." The owl is now
the proper bird for all dress and furnishing
purposes. Don't forget it-O-w-.l. Now you
will have a chaneoe to do the English style,
and make your 'ome 'owl.
,Remarkable RecuperaCioa.
D. M. Eerry & Co., the well-known seed
men, of Detroit, Micli., announce that they
are on their feet again and ready and anxions
to receive orders for seeds from every one ef
their old customers, and from as many new
oned as feel kindly disposed toward them.
They are in condition to fill promptly every
order with new seeds of the best quality.
On January 1st their immense warehouse
was destroyed by tire. It was filled with
probably the largest stock of assorted seeds
ever°gathered under one roof. Their books
and papers were all saved, and every person
who had ordered seeds of them will be sup
plied with his usual stock. They had large
quantities of seeds in their warehouses on
their seed farms, in tbe.hands of their grow
ers and not yet delivered, and on the way
from europe, which, together with" their
fully stocked branch seed store in Windsor,
Ontario, close at hand, and the free and vig
orous use of the telegraph and cable, enabled
them to secure a new stock in a remarkably
short time.
Before the Are was subdued they had se

FROM PHILIPSBURG:
"Sad Bar " Catches the Drift of PubHl
Events.
Correspondence New North-West.
As nothing of exceeding moment or wor
thy to chronicle has actually occurred here
in the past month, the absence of my "val
ued" correspondence from the columns of
your never-to-be-too-highly esteemed paper
is sufficiently accounted for. Not that if I
felt so disposed, something could not be
found to write about. I simply dislike to
draw upon my imagination, the fertility and
endurance of which passeth all understand
ing. As I have to deal with common-place
and ordinary subjects, I will open up in my
usual way by briefly referring to our mines.
THE GRANITE.
This bullion producer will eventually de
monetize the silver currency of the world
ships $125,000 monthly (product of a 20-stamp
mill), and could ship a million without any
trouble if the batteries worked on assorted
ore. The ore chute in tunnel No. 5 is over
one thousand feet in length, and placing a
conservative estimate on the value of the
mineral in sight, it will exceed fifteen mil
lions of dollars. Everything about this great
property shows system and order, and if any
money is wasted on ornamentation or friv
olty, "yours truly" has failed to perceive it.
THE HOPE.
Levels are now being driven from the shaft
to intersect the vein on its dip. When these
are completed stoping will commence, and
the now idle mill will again drop its ponder
ous stamps. It is a commendable feature of
the company's management of this property
that they never give up when ore gives out.
Byron Ballard, who has had charge of the
mine more years than I can remember, and
who is undoubtedly better posted on its
eccentricities than any other living man, and
Supt. George H. Babcock, deserve personal
commendation for the valuable services they
have rendered the company and district
alike.
POOR MAN'S JOY.
James Patten is still pushing the incline,
the header in pay rock. There is enough
ore in sight in this mine to warrant some
solid corporation in stocking and thoroughly
prospecting it. In every level of the Frisbee
shaft there is not less than four feet of solid
quartz, averaging throughout better than
35 ozs. The present owners have enough of
this world's goods to hold on and develop
lowly, but it would be a Red Letter Day for
the camp if Patten, Caplice, Smith & Co.
would stock up the property and push the
work on a more extended scale.
SAN FRANCISCO CONSOLIDATED.
Fatten & Co. are driving the tunnel header
steadily east. The vein is strong and carries
seam of good ore on the hanging wall,
tide. Indications are favorable for a body
)f high- grade pay rock within the next
ifty feet.
THE TROUT.
Two men are working above tha 250-foot
level. The ore taken out is of excellent
grade and suitable to ship. James Patten
works this valuable property under a lease,
snd finds it a remunerative investment.
ABOUT TOWN.
The water company has declared a divi- I
lend of one dollar per share. Imkamp, I
Kaiser and Weinstein are simply unap- t
3roachable. Uncle Bill Hammond has given I

PHILIPSBURG, M. T., Feb. 16,1886.
A Millionaire's Bride,
Pioneer Press, 13th.
The reported engagement and coming mar
riage of the well known Montana million
aire, Thomas Cruse, to Miss Maggie Carter,
of Helena, is correct, and the parties will be
married before the close of the present
month. The wedding is to be a grand affair
and is attracting the attention of all Helena
society. Mr. Cruse is a well known resident
of Helena, who has lived in and about that
city for many years. He was one of the early
pioneers of Montana, and has experienced
all of the varying ups and downs of a pros
pectol's life. About 1867 he discovered and
located the famous Drum Lummon mine.
He is one of the wealthiest men in the Ter
ritory to-day, and after his matrriage will pass
through St. Paul with his bride on an ex
tended visit to Europe and his old home in
Ireland. It was stated in a local paper yes
terday, in a purported dispatch from Helena,
that the young lady was a dressmaker. Such
is not the case, as the lady belongs to a well
to-do family in Helena, and a friend of theirs,
wbo is at present in the city, states that she
has been used to comfort and luxury all her
life, and is not even compelled to make her
own dresses, as her parents are in good cir
cumstances. Miss Carter, the bride that is
to be, is a very pretty young lady, highly
educated, and moves in the best social circles
in the city.
Minneapolis Tribnne, 13th.
Tommy Cruse, the millionaire miner of
Montana, is soon to be married to a young
dressmaker of Helena. Tommy is 60 years
old, but will give his bride $500,000 as aui off
set for the surplus 35 years.
We do not know the lady mentioned above,
but do know "Uncle Tommy Cruse," and we
offer the suggestion that some of the re
marks are very rude and contemptible. Mr
Cruse is a thoroughly big-hearted, unosten
tattlos, sensible old gentleman, whom for-.
tune has sniled upon but has not spoiled,
and who should be exempted. from such In
delibate impertinences as appear .above,
although the Press idea that his fiance would
be less estimable or leis respected if she had
honestly worked for an honest living, does
not prevail in Montana.

Let Us Have Peace.
Anaconda Review, 18th.
The last issue of the NEW NORTH-WEST
contained an article on railroad matters
which implied a forgetfulness of professional
courtesy on the part of the Review. It is a
matter which can not but cause us great re
gret, as no lapse from courtesy was intended.
If we had any newspaper spleen to vent, the
Naw NORTH-WEST is the last paper that
would be selected as an object. It is edited
with such fairness and uniform observance
of the proprieties of journalism that to come
into conflict with it on such a point would
at once imply a mistake on the part of any
paper. Never yet have we seen anything
unkind or undignified in that able paper,
and it is a matter of sincere regret to us that
anything in the Review should have appeared
so to its editor. It was certainly not so
intended. An opinion given in this paper
was questioned, and we merely referred to it,
restated our reasons, and added some con
firmatory evidence. The violation of good
manners toward those engaged in the same
profession is very common among newspaper
men but we would not willingly be classed
among those seeking to throw discredit on
other papers under any and all circumstances,
and if we have been placed on such a list by
the Naw NoRTH-WEST, we hope to be im
mediately crossed out. Railroad questions
are very enigmatical. The best authority
can often be quoted on both sides, while the
real- issues may be known to a select few.
The logic of events has so far sustained our
information as to the pooling. Northern
Pacific officials have repeatedly made high
sounding talks and just as repeatedly pooled
their interests with the Union Pacific. Vice
President Oakes' talk has already been given
at length and commented upon in this paper,
but there has as yet been no appearance of
facts to substantiate it. We join with the
NEW NORTH-WEsT in the fervent prayer
that it- may soon be proved truthful and
result in great benefit to both Deer Lodge
and Anaconda.
We submit the above under protest of
whatever diffidence a newspaper man may
have, butless than its reproduction would be
a discourtesy to a contemporary which has.
exceeded justice and shown magnanimity.
We really thought the Review had cut us off
short when we stated a matter concerning
railroad intentions that came to us so direct
we could not doubt it and yet were not at
liberty to cite the authority; but "Br'er"
Leonard can club us any day be sees proper
now. A man can take an awful lot of pun.
ishnment cheerfully when there's a friendly
heart behind the hand that deals the blows
and the Review has been more than friendly
in this case. We'le awful sorry, now, we
felt miffed, and will bet any outsider the
cigars that we were off wrong.

THE M'DONALD-OREM FIGHT.
McDonald Knocks Orem Out In Two
Rounds.
Butte Miner, 14th.
Last evening the much-talked of glove
contest between Duncan McDonald, of Butte,
and Con. Orem, of Dillon, took place at the
Amphitheatre, before a rather small audi
ence, and it was of very short duration.
McDonald appeared in the ring at 9:15
o'clock, and Orem came upon the scene ten
minutes later. Both seemed to be in good
condition, and many were surprised at the
splendid showing made by Orem when he
stripped for the fight. Jimmy Bates and Jack
Gray seconded McDonald, while Johnny
Murphy .and Martin Rooney attended to
Orem, Kinney Arthur acting as time keeper,
and F'rank Hayes, the Wyoming and "Co
orado light-weight, officiating as referee.
After announcing that the fight was for the
general best, eight rounds, Queensbury rules,
time was called and the men went at it. In
the first round Orem was quite spry on his
feet, but it was plainly evident that he was
no nsatehfor his larger opponent. Three dif
ferent times they clenched and the referee
called for a break, and the round ended with
some advantage to McDonald.
When the second round was opened, Me
Donald went at Orem savagely and hit him
as he pleased, knocking hun into the ropes

Sontse Mestlet of a Nbw 16er Lodge Camp
that Is Showiag Favorably.
Specldal Correspendenc Nes North- West.
SELLISTON, Mowr., Feb. 12,1886.--Perhaps
the rustling Deer Lodgers would like to have
a short description of one of the most prom
isiug mining camps in Montana. I allude to
the mines near Elliston and in Deer Ledge
county. Attention is but nowbeing directed
to them; the camps with honder horns and
more pretentious, but less real merit, having
made so much noise that the mines in this
region have been overlooked until lately,
when some of the shrewd business men of
the capital city have invested in a group of
mines and have been quietly developing
them. The mines are situated on the
HEAD WATERS OF THE LITTLE BLACKFOOT
river, from ten to twelve miles from Elliston,
and from six to eight miles west of:the now
famous Red Mountain-"The Mount of
Tunnels."
Last summer saw the completion of an
excellent (to be) wagon road to. the Telk
graph mine, owned by Messrs Lewis Ashley
and Charles Lehman. It being one of the
most distant, the road to this mine gives
communication with all the others. With
the enterprise that characterizes the
CAPITALISTS OF HELENA,
Mr. Lehman and his partners erected aquartz
mill last fall. For a few days it worked with
perfect success, and the partners were jubi
lant;. but " The .best laid plans," etc.. The
man who was attending the crusher, with a
laudable spirit of investigation, experiment
ed with a crowbar to see if the crusher would
have the same effect upon that as upon de
composed quartz. He satisfied his curiosity,
but as the expense of the crusher and owners'
pockets. Consequence-mill lying idle, wait
ing for more machinery. Moral-curiosity
does not always pay.
SHIPPING ORE.
The mine which has given the best results
so far is the Bullion, owned by Kranich &
Welsh. They have shipped some six cars of
high-grade ore, netting them, after all ex
penses, from forty to fifty dollats per ton.
This mine has paid from the surface, and the
lucky owners have refused $50,000 for it
not bad in itself. The
BLACKFOOT MINING AND MILLING COMPANY,
headquarters in Helena, have bought the
controlling interest in the group known as
the "Traverse Mines." There are twenty.
five persons in the company, all solid finan
cially and otherwise. Among them we find
such men as Henry Klein, Moses Morris,
Hugh McQuald (of Drum Lummon fame),
Dave Blacker, W. E. Cullen and others of
note. There are six mines in the group
owned by this company, the principal one
being the Traverse. It is developed by a 340
foot tunnel, which taps three separate veins
of paying ore. Like the rest of the mines in
this belt, it is free-milling silver rock. The
company propose putting up concentrating
works this coming summer.
LOWER DOWN ON THE SOUTH FORK
of the Little Blackfoot we find Mr. Charles
Wakeman and his partner developing a pros
pect, owned jointly with Messrs. Wallace
and Cleveland, of Butte. The prospect is a
good one in every respect, the cross-cut
showing a five-foot body of ore and very
easy to work. They have now on the dump
several car loads of shipping ore, which they
propose to ship to Omaha. There are about
150 men in the mountains within a radius of
ten miles, all engaged in developing pros
pects, and all well satisfied that this is going
to be the greatest of Montana's mineral belts.
The Butte miners claim that the Silver City
will take a back seat when this bonanza re
gion becomes known. Helena now talks the
same way; still they keep on building big
court houses and quarreling withcontractors,
while only a few of the fat-sighted "keep out
of the muss"and invest their money in Little
Blackfoot leads. As the columns of your
paper are always so well filled with more in
teresting matter for the general public, will
not occupy more of your valuable space.
Yours truly, MIKADO.
MYSTERIOUS KUKLUXI MG.
A Band of Masquers Use Up a Music
Teacher.
Bozeman Chronicle.
On Monday morning about four o'clock
Deputy District Attorney Campbell was
awakened from his slumbers by an individ
ual who bore the appearance of havingjust
passed through a threshing machine. His
head and face were covered with blood, his
clothes torn and muddy, his entire make-up
the sorriest the now thoroughly awakened
attorney bad ever gazed upon. The unre
cognizable visitor proved to be Mr. W. Ulin,
of Spring Hill, an unmarried music teacher.
His story was soon related, and is about as
follows: On Sunday night he was teaching
music to a large class at Grange Hall, about
fifteen miles from Bozeman, when the door
waa suddenly thrown open and a band of
masked men, armed with shotguns, revol
vers and knives, entered, ordering him to
follow them. This he refused to do, and con
sequently was at once seized and borne out
of doors. At this conjuncture Mr. Henry
Davis, one of his pupils, interfered, and en
deavored to snatch away a gun belonging to
one of the intruders. This resulted in a
scuffle, terminating in Mr. Davis pulling off
the mask of one of his assailants; whereupon
the exposed member of the gang threw him
self out of the window, without waiting to
raise the sash, which went along with him.
Ulin claims to have been hit about the same
time on the head with a revolver. He says
he was. then dragged to an empty cabin on
James Kennedy's ianch, where, a rope was
placed about his neck, but that in the strug.
gle he" freed himself and threw the rope
where It could not be found for some time.
In the meantime the leader became fearful
lest the people at the hall would arm and
follow, and ordered number "3and.7" to
bring the horses to the door, whereupon the
entire party hastily mounted and rode.away.
Ul1a swore out complaints against eleven
men, whom he says he knows were with the
party, and Judge Hartman ordered that they
b parrested at once. At this writing the offi
cers are after the aoused.
A very remarkable outcome to the above
is published in the .Bozeman Chronicle of
Feb. 17th. After a hearing of many wit
nesses before Judge Hartman, in which a
large number of witnesses were examined
and a dozen or so defendants arraigned, the
Chroniclesays : "Judge Hartman thereupon
delivered a stinging reprimand to both par
ties of the case, and especially deprecated
the malioious motive which seemed to actuate
Ilin. He dismissed the case and taxed the
Costs to Ulin."
