4 THE RIVER PRESS. MONUTANA MlITES. [Husbandman.] A freight train of ox teams is being fitted out by A. J. Smith and Wesley Curnutt for the Benton road. The train will be in charge of Mr. Curnutt. A force of men have been put on the Dia mond range to shovel the snow from the road. This will enable the people here to get flour at $4 50 instead of $6 as they now have to pay. It will also reduce the price of vege tables and grain at least one cent per pound. A committee of citizens waited upon the Commissioners Tuesday and asked for some action in relation to opening the road to Ben ton. The Board finding that sufficient notice had not been given for it to proceed to the appointment of viewers, it was decided to postpone any action until the June term, when they will have before them the action of the citizens' committee of the Springs and valley. tNew North-West.] Appropriations for Montana are : Defitien cy for pay for the extension of the Legisla tive session from 40 to 60 days, $6,000 ; im provement of Yellowstone National Park, $15,000; for the completion of Fort Assina boine, $40,000; an additional appropriation for the construction of Fort Maginnis,$50, 000; for the improvement of the Upper Mis souri, $40,000 ; for the improvement of the Yellowstone, $25,000. Last week W. H. H. Bowers, of Salt Lake sold the following machinery for Montana : To the Original Butte Mining Company, Butte city, one miner's prospecting engine and boiler; one pair hoisting engines,12-inch cylinder and 14-inch stroke, link motion and double drum, with sheaves, etc., complete; two Babcock & Wilcox's safety water tube boilers, of 75-horse power; one Knowles boiler feed pump. To the Vulcan Mining company of Butte city, one pair hoisting en gines, link motion, with cylinder 9 inches,,in diameter and 12-inch stroke; 50-horse power tubular boiler, and one large Knowles sink ing pump. To the Boston and Montana Gold Mining Company of Helena,one miner's prospecting engine and boiler; one upright stationery engine and boiler; one No. 3 saw mill, besides a large amount of T rail, mer chant's iron, wrought iron tubing and fittings for all the above companies. The five stamp mill at Cable started up on the 6th inst. It will be kept running con stantly. It was also expected to start tne 20 stamp mill on ore from the Cable mine on Monday. [Herald.] The Boulder mine upon Cataract, we learn, is opening out splendidly as developments progress. Two men have been at work all winter in prospecting it. One shaft is 85 feet deep, the othe other shaft about 400 feet far ther west upon the vein, is down about 30 feet. The pay streak is about six feet thick; quartz is silver bearing, free milling and of a high grade, averaging about 300 ounces near the surface, and from the latest tidings, from there, a much richer quality has recent ly been struck. It belongs to Esler, Nettre, & Co. Daily Inter-Atonntam.] i Operations has resumed on the High Ore which has been idle during the past winter. From the bottom of the main shaft the face of the east drift will be forwarded to a con nection with the east shaft, a distance of about 300 feet. This work will open up a large body of free ore available for stoping. t The Blacktail arastra will soon be fired up r on High Ore quartz. c From Mr. H. T. Brown, of the firer, who returned on Saturday from an extended visit to the East, we learn that business in 1 "America" is very brisk. Every manufactory between Omaha and New York is crowded to its utmost capacity. iusiness of all kinds is rushing in every section, and it is generally supposed that an era of remarkable and per manent prosperity has dawned. The mining stock exchanges of Chicago, New York and Boston are particularly lively, there being more talk in those cities about "galena," ~ul phurets, fissure and contact ledges, etc., than there is in this city. Nearly every man cwns mining stock, but experience has taught a lesson, and wild-cat stock is no longer seized wvith that avidity which has so often been the ruin of the toocon~fiding capitalist. Stock investments are now entered into on cold business principles. Mr. Brown says there is considerable inquiry about Butte mines, and lthat on the completion of the railroad we may expect the Summrit Valley district to be visited by a large number of men with money to invest in good properties. 'he orwe E.ip press of snia. r The Princess Dagmar, as the cmpress is still called in the land of her birth, grew up with her sister Alexandra, now the princess of Wales, at the Danish court with very nmodest surroundings. The queen was an ex cellent mother, and sought to develop in her daughters the woman in preference to the d princess. It used to be said in the capital that the princesses were made to help in mak ing their own dresses, and that the furniture in their common bedroom was covered with inexpensive calico. A story of the naive admiration expressed by princess Dagmar on being shown the wedding trousseau of one of the noble ladies at court and her longing wonder whether she would ever herself own "such handsome things," was told with a touch of sympathetic pride by the people of Copenhagen, with whom the two princesses were great favorites. Dagmar had won her way deepest into the people's heart, however. Her sweet disposition, the winning grace of her manner and the perfect fredom with which she, like her sisters (and indeed, the whole royal family,) moved among all classes of the people were well calculated to gain for her an affection that followed her to her new home and found expression at her wedding in a score of ways that touched the heart of the princess profoundly. At every subse 1 quent appearance at her father's court she was received by the people with an enthusi asm that even embraced her husband, despite the rumors of his sinister character and vio lent temper, that from the beginning had threatened to make the match an unpopular one. The Czarwitch apparently took kindly to this popularity, ahd when at Copenhagen mingled freely with the populace. His bluff, soldierly way soon found favor, and when Dagmar's children, in little kilted suits, and with dark hair banged over their foreheads, began to be seen about the park at Fredens burg, "grandpa's" summer palace, the recon ciliation to the foreigner was complete. One of the causes that contributed to the popularity of the Princess Dagmar was, per haps, her name. Her father had wisely given to all his children, except Alexandra, old, historical Danish names, identified with the past of the nation. Frederick Christian, Valdemar, and Thyra are all names that hold a high place in Danish history and live in its songs and traditions. But of all the nation's great names none is dearer to the heart of the Danish people than that of Dagmar, the queen of the victorious Valdemar and the friends of the needy and oppressed througout the land, whose goodness was so great that on her untimely death-bed, according to tra dition, no greater sin weighed upon her con science than "sewing a lace sleeve on Sun day." The people of Copenhagen among whom the Princess Dagmar moved like to compare her virtues with those of the be loved queen, and at her departure for her Russian home-the fervent wish followed her that she would prove in truth a veritable Dagmar-a "harbinger of day" to the un happy people whose empress she was some day to become. The princess Dagmar was not a handsome child, her features becoming very clumsy though pleasing, but she grew into a very beautiful woman, like her sister Alexandra. In every printshop in Copenha gen pictures of her and her husband, with her children are for sale. The children have little of their mother's looks, but bear a strong resemblance to their father. Greece to Have More Territory. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 16.-At the meet ing of the ambassadors it was decided that the details for the surrender of tbe territory ceded to Greece could be settled between them and the Porte and afterwards notified to Greece, and that the international commis sion should subsequently be summoned to superintend the session of the territory, the Porte ordering the Turkish com manders to quit an hour before the arrival of the commissioners, who would take possession of the various locali ties and turn them over to the Greek troops, who would arrive a half hour later. The Turkish Commanders on leaving would take with them all individuals considered danger ouus to the new order of things and disarm all the Musselman population. Ultimately after the surrender of the territory a tech nical military commission is to be appointed to settle the limitation of the frontier. $100 Reward, ' I will pay the above amount for the recovery of the body of Edward A.
