Stoekgrowcrs Journal : There is noth
ing little about Montana. She would be
willing to donate to the government, as a
homestead for its native wards, a township
out of one of her counties equal in extent
to Rhode Island, Delaware, or some of the
eastern states, but she can see no reason
why a few hundred pauper Indians should
hold a domain on her northern boundary
larger than the state of Indiana, another
in her center of over 12,000 square miles,
and still another in Custer county of over
.500,000 acres.
Missoulia Times: About 9 a. m. Sun
day morning the Pacific express on the
Northern Pacific met with an accident
one mile east of Heron. Tue engine
jumped the track, followed by the entire
train, save the Pullman ear at the extreme
rear. No one was killed, and so far as
we have learned no one was injured to any
extent. The train was running at full
speed, but was stopped within its length,
which well illustrates the power of the
air-brake when in the grasp of the engineer
and applied at the instant of disaster
The track was clear at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Cow Hoys Running a Train.
A special from San Antonia, Texas, of
the 25th, says: Yesterday evening as the
east bound passenger train on the South
ern Pacific was nearing a bridge crossing
the Pecos river, a number of torpedoes
exploded on the track causing the engi
neer to stop the train. Six cowboys
boarded the train with drawn revolvers
and compelled the conductor to stop at
Langtry, the next small station. At Lang
try twenty more cowboys boarded the
train and took possession of it. They
were all more or less under the influence
of liquor, aud amused themselves by
shooting out all the window lights and
lamps, terrorizing the passengers generally.
As the train passed small stations, the
cowboys would shove their heads out oi*
the broken windows, shoot and yell.
Passing a freight train it was saluted in a
similar manner. Several hundred shots
were fired, and the roof of the cars were
riddled. They robbed the train boy of
his stock of peanuts and candies, but so
far as known nobody was shot. The gang
left the train after riding over sixty miles.
Fast Railroading.
"Have you ever seen that train of white
cars that makes the fast mail train from
Chicago?" said the engineer, as he mun
ched a sandwich at a resting place.
"No? Well, it's slicker than a square
yard of lightning, and it goes full pitch
out of Chicago every morning at 3 o'clock
In my opinion it's about the fastest thing
in this country. Well, one of the mail
clerks invited his wife down to see the
train start; the conductor shouted 'all
aboard' and the clerk leaned over to kiss
his wife, who was standing on the plat
form, and bless me if he didn't kiss a cow
out at Riverside. Now, that's what I call
fast railroading.''
A Quartz Mill for Alaska.
The Risdon Iron Works, San Francisco,
have built and shipped a 120-stamp gold
mill for the Alaska Mill aud Mining Com
pany. The stamps are 900 jtounds each,
with, a crushing capacity of 360 tons per
day. The mill is about to be erected on
Douglas Island, Alaska. The Scientific
Press says is the largest quartz mill in
the world.

An Agent for the Cheyennes.
Tlie Cheyennes are to have an agent at
last. Maj. J. H. Logan, fifth infantry,
who has been temporarily in charge of
these Indians, has received word from
Washington that a regularly appointed
agent would either be sent out from Wash
ington or else some one hi the territory
would be designated for the position.
It is probable that Agent Armstrong, now
acting in that capacity for the Crows, will
be given the position. The new Chey
enne reservation adjoins the Crow reserva
tion and therefore it is probable that Arm
strong will be the man.
An Enormous Truth.
A redwood tree recently cut near Santa
Rosa, Cal., furnished all the timber for
the Babtist church in Santa Rosa, one of
the largest church edifices in the country.
The interior of the building is finished in
wood, there being no plastered walls.
Sixty thousand shingles were made from
the tree after enough was taken for the
church. Another redwood tree, cut near
Murphy's Mill, about ten years ago, fur
nished shingles that required the constant
labor of two industrious men two years
before the tree, was used up. The above
statements are vouched for as turc by
good authority.
Dedication of the Monument.
The arrangements for the dedication of
the Washington monument are progress
ing rapidly. The commission appointed
by congress to arrange suitable ceremonies
has extended a general invitation to mili
tary, Masonic and civic organizations (tue
latter not to carry emblems of a political
character) to participate. Gen. Sheridan
requests that all organizations intending
to take part in the procession notify him
at the earliest moment, in order that prop
er places in the column may be assigned
them.
Alaska.
Many inquiries are being made just
now, by miners and others, in regard to
Alaska as a precious metal producing
country. In view of this the subjoined
information is apropos: Meager dis
patches and an occasional letter from Sit
ka have comprised about all the data
known about Alaska mining except the
record of small gold shipments for the
past few years. In 1881 the San Fran
cisco mint received nearly $15,000 in gola
from Alaska and in 1882 this amount
was more than doubled aud the total
yield was estimated at about $150,000.
In 1883 some $300,000 are said to have
been produced. Vague rumors of exten
sive new gold diggings in the southeastern
part of Alaska have been circulated all
over the country, and this is undoubtedly
the occasion of the inquiries referred to. But
the men who have the Alaska fever should
hear in mind that the trip to Alaska is an
expensive one, and that there are neither
conveniences nor comforts awaiting the
prospector in that remote region. The
Government is a military one at present,
and the officers of the little war vessel iu
Sitka harbor compose tribunal for the
settlement of disputes arising between the
natives and miners. Titles cannot yet be
perfected for mineral claims, *ts Govern
ment surveys have not been made, and,
hence, capital lias be^n afraid to venture
much toward the development of such
mineral resources .is arc known to exist
there. Many adventurous prospectors arc
working iu several paitsof the Territory,
and it is thought that the gold yield for
1884 will nearly reach half a million dol
lars. One tiling is certain, the annual
yield is constantly increasing, and the
residents are petitioning for an extension
of the land laws to apply to Alaska, and
for surveys, so that entries can be made,
and titles seeuied. How costly has been
the extraction of the gold production has
not been made public. This gold lias re
sulted principally from placer, although
some of it has been obtameed from quartz
lodes.
The 8un.
The sun is a molton or white-hot
mass, 856,000 miles in diameter, equaling
the bulk of 1,360,000 worlds like our own
having a surrounding ocean of gas on fire
50.000 miles deep, tongues of flame dart
ing upward more than 50,000 miles, vol
canic forces that hurl into the solar atmos
phere luminous matter to the height of
160.000 miles. Thus he continues Itis
sublime and restless march through his
mighty orbit, having a period of more
than 18.000,000 of years.
Misconceptions.
Catgut is made from entrails of sheep.
Cuttle bone is not a bone, but a kind of
chalk once enclosed in the fossil remains
of extinct specimens of cuttle fish. Ger
man silver was not invented in Germany
and does not contain a particle of silver.
Cleopatra's needle was not erected by the
Egyptian queen or in her honor. Pompey's
pillar had no historical connection with
Pompey in any way. Scaling wax does
not contain a particle of wax, but it is
composed of Venice turpentine, shellac
and cinnabar. The tubrosc is no rose,
but a species of polyauth. The strawber
ry is no berry, but only a suceulcnt re
ceptacle. Again, Turkish baths did not
originate in Turkey, and are not baths,
but heated chambers. W halebonc is not
bone anti is said not to possess n single
property of bone.
