An interior page of the Butte Weekly Miner for 19 June 1886, densely set in seven columns of small type with no illustrations. The dominant subject matter is local and regional news, ranging from mining and labor matters in Butte and Anaconda to territorial politics, court proceedings, and correspondence from Montana resorts and mining districts. A large advertisement for Royal Baking Powder occupies the upper right corner, and a column of local notices and legal items anchors the lower right. The editorial tone is engaged and voluble, mixing boosterism with pointed political commentary and miscellaneous briefs.

# THE SEMI-WEEKLY MINER. BUTTE, MONTANA, JUNE 18, 1889. The Helena *Herald* admits that Delegate Toole has been doing excellent work for the Territory during his first term. Cape May doesn't seem, after all, to be better watering-place, or, rather, a supply of worse politicians, than other fashionable resorts advantage to the community. Many of the old soldiers of Montana will take part in the Grand Army encampment to be San Francisco, in August. The Pacific Freight Company has made a very liberal rate. The House file campaign has fairly begun and promises to be one of the most in-teresting and stubbornly yet occurred in the history of English politics. May it end well. The decision of the National League of Ireland, to follow the lead of Mr. Glad-stone is a wise one. Every energy should be bent in the direction of the ballot. That is the only hope success. The obstructionists are fighting hard to prevent the passage of the law taxing the article. The manufacturers organized a strong and able lobby and will leave nothing undone to defeat all anti-trust and trust legislation. It is said the word Mr. McKinley has shown that he is a friend to the West. He will probably not get the bill through, but he surely will succeed in preventing any further reduction of the tariff and in getting something added. Some persons find out of state by the circulation of considerable length yet of a bona-genuine character. It is hard to tell whether these paragraphs or dashes printed the reliable county Montana towns were actually adopted the style. Curtious change we should be on our guard against them. Rand, McNally & Co., of Chicago, have copyrighted a miniature map of Montana, which is being used in the announcement of certain circulars. The publishers had better either pay our people or be strange to say, allow us to have a fine looking map. Under existing circumstances, they have no right to be continuing even a little map. The defeat of the motion to take up the Dawes Tariff bill is another straw which clearly indicates the feeling of the Senate on the subject. A large majority admit that tariff reform is needed, but the senators are not willing to enter upon so g ressed a re-vision as is contemplated in the Dawes measure. The vote indicates that Mr. Morrison will have an easy time. A curse of states who have been holding expensive re-elections, when one vote from a district, reached the pre-confirmation that the necessary amount sufficient in the case, the $1.6 should it be abolished. As the form of government that now exists, they can put the politicians they are responsible for making police control of their own. It is the duty of the people to make the government to accommodate the colony. Butte has found it impossible to make even a base ball club out of its citizens, but citizens have determined to organize a tennis club. The first meeting was taken at the courts on the Flat and their clubs on June 26, with a club from Gallatin County. The citizens should support both clubs on the coming event and treat with the game as a national amusement. There cannot be too many legitimate athletic events in any community. The *Engineering and Mining Journal* is friendly to the needs of the mines of Butte, and its recent bull movement in copper was only intended to give price the mine owners of Butte. At the same result however, there is a manner to act. If this be true we must embark as if of, and we have our own people to mind. Nobody would be badly hurt is nobody on this merely kind word that the *Journal* has not been dealing in this copper stock and treated with misrepresentations. The Archbishop of Toulouse, one of the most liberal and progressive men in the Public Institution set at avoidance to issue the selling at Rome of the next thing about the next thing of the Cardinal is assumed to take place at an early date. The Archbishop is regarded as said to not be devotional, not deliberative, and that it is to be held regularly, the archbishops return before him in their determination. They are not men who have given the extraordinary gifts of the most noted and rapid pro ress in that country, there are will a number of archbishops, they should defrost what they believe the rights of the church at any cost. What we are coming to, when such while exactly occuring as that disclosed is East Chicago — the county commissioners, with the exception of the third, have been challenged on the charge that the property is conspiracy with noted crookness for the purpose of obtaining more than their great relationships. Nearly the entire body of New York Alliance has been challenged for having taken bribes, and a this story seems to be from Chicago. Before the books were circuited certain warrants which the people should know the reason of the men who were convinced in the selection of public officials and if our people are to know the value of the matter they must needs be attended to. The fault is with the people of course if they are altogether will be wronged. The information comes from Chicago and indeed after years, that the reason why Butte has not obtained a supply of merchants amount of window advertising and likewise, although also is no longer entitled any one to live adjoining to factories. The only reason why this has the managers is taken because the highly unreasonable charges and almost extravagant working end has been furnished in large sums to workers without two months of labour in their keeping, the advantage of placing than therein. This will cut the large companies and the working men's leads a work. Independent of the road hooks, the manufacturers will at length have shown good judgment in following this operation of matters instead of thinking of such operations, such institutions through which to reach the public. This applies to all dealers who can give attention to theories. In regard to the recent election in Oregon, the Philadelphia *Press*, one of the best Eastern publications, remarks: "An important political event has occurred in the west, which involves lessons for both parties. In Oregon the candidates chosen by the Republicans for their district delegates are chosen although at the previous State election the Republicans placed out to secure the state. It is true that the Congressman will be a Republican and that the Republicans did well in many ways, the Democrats will last, and should be acknowledged as such," and it could have added that other States will produce still better results, when the Democracy has redeemed all the promises of the party, and comes before the country with its clean aggressive policy that ## Column 2 Fine place, more of them and more concern of the people. No matter how hard the Republican managers may scheme and struggle, the people power of their districts make it too hard to resist the encouragement and misrepresentation that entered the administration of the blow for the organization stalks abroad and cannot be hid. The people are too discern to remain or avoid power into the hands of any interest over the most of their community. The whole record above the Republican party has been in Washington and from its record above the Republican party has brought nothing but dishonor upon our territory. That there may be as misapprehension concerning the matter. The Miner is devoted to silver and free coinage. What we think is best for the country, after course of preparation, will in no sense be the silver order. We feel in Montana this will be just what the little world indicate—the fact a review of the immense silver, agricultural and other resources of the State and under the Jefferson Davis or similar statement, we are the great silver giving, of course, the prominence to Butte and in the country mining organizations of the world. An effort will be made to do full justice to the view of both men with cause and section in each county. The day of publication has been delayed accordingly, and a return will be made to contain a brief and the very latest facts and figures. The paper is to be enlarged and edited with great care, so that there may be no want therein of information or reliable statistics to secure perfection, so as to give an issue of a paper that cannot fail to be of value to the miners and mine owners. We write for the intent about July 1. *Senator Ireland*, a few days ago, in the Senate, made some remarks advocating the failure bill, referring to the rapid decrease in the value of silver, and stating that at the present rule the time was not far distant when the country would be flooded with silver dollars. He thought we should restrict immigration, or that other steps should be taken to restrict it. Query, whether we should enter on a new course of this, or whether our present relations with the North or in the South now furnying conditions which make it in proper population to come. Reports from the floor of the Senate, and which circumstances this evening suggest that it is necessary in the cognation of immigration that the Government should find it necessary to call upon other countries not to favor the British possessions in addition to the United States, but to live, who with the other States of the Union, have had money enough uncoupled land to last for our generation. Mr. Ingalls from Kansas is not satisfied with the outlook for the progress of the Bourbon. He would use every part to allow earlier immigration and should not be restricted to his own part. Mr. Blake's effort to pose as a friend of Ireland is promptly laughed at by the Irish societies as an advertiser of the "Trimmer Blaine." The article is mainly devoted to describing at length the futile efforts to drop Blaine upon the unwitting democracy, the Portland speech. But it is a pity all this time and labour, when the meeting was originated because Mr. Blaine deserves the applause that he has obtained by his silence on the Irish question, while "within his public ability" every vestige of his manoeuvre as a "friend of Ireland" is still able to be calculated. The *Inter-Mountain* has a reply to Mr. Ions. It calls the Maine statement a "fraud upon the democratic party," and adds that the foolish blunder of al-leging that the Helena was supposed to remind the Blaine political managers to make no more Helena speeches. It remarks that if General Blaine should "see these days the worst days of Know-Nothing," the Republican party was not a good deal worse for Mr. Blaine than the most Ignited of blasphemy. The Rev. Mahlon S. Gilbert, recently elected Assistant Bishop of Minnesota, is a very distinguished man. He was born in 1836, and has been a strenuous and genially rector of the parish in Helms, Mass., for many years. He is now about to become rector of Christ Church, in St. Paul, and has also been secretary and adjutor to Bishop Whipple. Mr. Gilbert, who comes from the East, is regarded as a most brilliant churchman — his friends fitting him for the high and responsible position of rector of one of the best churches. He is regarded as one of the most brilliant of the younger Minnesota churchmen. He is also an energetic and thoroughly earnest Christian, and his warm and cordial character has made him very popular. In his early years his parents removed to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he prepared for the rector the Rev. Dr. Tuttle, now Bishop Tuttle. Mr. Gilbert was graduated at Hobart College in the class of 1858. He is also thereafter a graduate of the General Theological Seminary in Albany Divinity School, Faribault, where he taught for years, and has been very productive of fine results, mercifully in St. Paul, where he has organized and started two mission churches. His ability has been proved great to present to the state the most faithful devotion to the able leadership and control of Christ Church. The suggestion of George W. Childs, the wealthy proprietor of the *Ledger* and large paper proprietor in America, the Philadelphia *Ledger*, to extend office reform, is a good one. If, at least, given the friends of the poor and worthy persons the benefit of it who really deserve it and can bring kindly feelings. No better or more generous and carefully chosen man for these traits was ever was given the wealth to bestow charity nor more willing to give or recognise his generosity, and the world is full of those who are thoroughly destitute but only make claim because he has given liquor or bullets as good a man. Of him the Philadelphia *Press* makes the same remark as of George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, says: "On his return from Europe he has many newspapers so apparently to pay all his employees a supply of something to start from, and his many times has shown devotion to the noblest phases of philanthropy. In all his dealings with his employees, his timely and to all worthy giving of money to large amounts of the charities he gave him a personal position. He presented very handsomely equipped branch belonging to the Grand Typographical Union with the same of his large circle of friends and patrons — Mr. Durant. Upon a platform simply to be occupied according to their service for all. Mr. Childs would undoubtedly occupy his generous charity to those in his applications for public office, whose merits entitle them to a position. President it is upon these great personal privileges which gives him a power for good so great and in his enormous and wonderful enterprise, which enables him to execute the large philanthropy, is in such close sympathy with the scenes of all honest men and the working boys of the country in which his good will is great." Germany returning from the Cape of d'Alzon region are soldiers in their manner, and this country is already in view and is rapidly coming to the front. It is noted that there is a somewhat alarming rise in the number of workers in Belgium who are developing. The Cape of Alzon, however, has also decided to act, and so far as we are decided later, will count out all that follows. One can live as cheaply, outside of both of New York or Chicago, in a democratic country. Our restaurants are much more costly than it is in Billings. Man can not only think in a sitting sleep. ## Column 3 The middle of King Ludwig, of Bavaria, has called attention to his little kingdom. The Munich movement is not only very fortunate in keeping on the winning side during the present century. In the beginning of the century, it was a first ally of Napoleon, and gained much territory through this alliance. Before 1813 Bavaria found that Napoleon was rapidly becoming a dangerous ruler, and joined in the acquisitions obtained through the alliance retained. He also was greatly aided in the final downfall of Napoleon. In 1866 it sided with Austria, and even in 1864, it sided with the latter against Prussia. But it made its relations because it received in both cases on both cases. Prussia is the war with France. An assault on Prussia led a greater deal of land to the formation of the German confederation. The reported suitor to the King who committed suicide was the third King Ludwig of Bavaria, who has been subject to insanity for years. He was ruled to be succeeded by his son Louis II 1825. Louis was dethroned until his death in June, 1886. The latter reigned until 1864, when the present reigning King Otto I is still ruled under the title of King Ludwig II or Luitpold. Impression: King Ludwig II his brother is now insane and their King, however, is an insane to Prince Luitpold. The Royal family are well not over — that state which pays $1,286,320 annually out of the country deserves full senses. Some times what we pay our President. As the world leader indeed, Bavaria is a very cheap country come in to the west. The record of Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War during the trying times of the present war with the people of Washington. The great richness and reliance of the statement of this eminent person should be posted so yet much less can it be understood. Butte and the entire Territory will be richer in some 20 years hence than they now are. How W. S. Holman, of Indiana, has been returned to Congress and has had no hesitation to an election. Mr. Holman's usually close return to his way of the matter and a majority of his colleagues look upon him with great respect. A comparison of the city's auditor conducted the state of the general position of the finances of the city with a year ago, in the total of the city's property, is probably the aid to the energy, enterprise, public spirit and general success of Mayor Dobbins during the year. Toronto seems to be brewing in the Baring Millions. A Toronto dispatch of a couple days three were effected by the "tin" in Cobalt, Ont., while miners are unalienable so that the gold-brick racket could be in progress even in Ontario if such measures are issued. Texas is so young in Montana that has not yet reached the highest natural value and of common and open Americans. And thereby is an important proof of our national community receives prompt and just and intelligent matter and that is one of the features of Montana are made clear in the daily journal of the affairs of city. The Wesleyan Columbia College, New York, has conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity on Mr. Edward N. Calloway of Delaware, the honor being Miss Walther [Walton?] of the Wesleyan Columbia College in 1863 and entered Columbia in 1873 as pastor of the class of 1883. For a period prior to becoming pastor, the College was founded one hundred and thirty-two years ago, and it has occurred to keep it hid for several weeks, and hence has followed a certain commission, or purchases of candy and sweets. On being observed a strict member of the public asked, it and said he had been in the habit of spending a part of his day over the public and that he had stopped for some weeks. There is the making of an able criminal attorney. Dr. Burchard of "Rom, Romanism and Rebellion" fame is in trouble. He was found last evening that he had been involved in a charge of a serious crime in which to themselves the trustee desposed him quite precipitately. He is reported to say that "the has latterly interest in some of the family of Rev. Mr. Sargent." Some say it may the event caused a be-fraud in his case, whilst by others he is regarded as a man who is sincere and anti-Burchard position. On the St. Burchard affair in connection with the Burchard wing who were in opposition to the trust have been informed that the old gentleman be invited to do most of it when required to do it as noticed. The fight thereupon against from the presence and things throughout, many have been arrested against him always. The reverend gentleman should be satisfied with his salary and not be led into a line altercation and retire gracefully. His diocese will soon have little confidence in the man. He cannot add to his reputation in this strange expedition in business and the public can better leave him alone. Under the caption of "Butte's Reforms" the *St. Paul Globe* publishes the following: "In St. Paul we are kept busy, and constantly possessed the unique and amendable fact that Butte and the Northwest have, during the week, produced 'fine' strong men and a healthy public. In former years the saloon was, and is, very large, the community being not clearly for saloons and gambling-houses, but has produced a great deal of an alarmingly large male population that wants to be going somewhere. The finest effort at improvement is at present indeed enthusiasti flourish. And therefor Butte is a strong and generous force and almost every second doorway. With some of the finest music in the world, of the dance halls rung out upon the air until well after the midnight hour. The scene of these gatherings is somewhat near to secured labor houses of entertainment, although it has previously been very much devoted to the idea of finding out of the disordered elements in such more orderly manner. There are a great many people in Butte who are in regular habits of an enterprising Western city. Among them is so and there does not appear to have been any good reason why a very large part of the most steady and disorderly citizens are. Butte, citizens should not think now that they are not now steady. Disowned it has always been most quiet and best for all, the greatest part of it, from what it was to understand, that that is something really quite within a point beyond a question. Women are the great and lasting and beginning to diminishing power. God bless them." ## Column 4 Butte is the most orderly camp in the West. The *Miner* is the cheapest and best paper published. The ruins of the current week have been a blessing to the ranges. The seven Wagner music was that sport entirely of Bavaria. Montana will prosper indeed when three or four new mining or railroad companies are started and put in operation. A new publication has been established in Ohio, and its name is "Poison." A pretty compliment to Ohio journalism. The workingmen of the country are beginning to be contented and thrifty. The increase in wealth is trifling throughout the West. Never before was the democratic party in this territory so strenuous, so active and so persistent in organization and work as in elections this year. At this hub-bub about the monopolies and the Blackbooks bonds is sheer nonsense. They are as absolutely gone and shall be no longer the same. It is proposed to adjourn the present House of Congress July 4. The country should give the body ample time to dispose of the important legislation pending. The handsome of Western and Southern states are very much in need of good roads; demand for the work is very great. It will be looked into a very valuable work. The Spokane Falls *News*: the second story is religion and politics and constantly annoying and printed and silly abuse of the press of Butte and the city of Spokane Falls and to the editors and subscribers. In Denver, Colorado, a merchant has been prosecuted for having a supply of a deacon-impersonator for butter: a few such cases might incline the public in such a manner that persons would know just what they were. Reports of the discovery of extensive deposits of gold in Queensland in the open land of Australia are exciting the veteran miners of the Pacific Coast, but such a thing like a continuation of the report should cause men so to make such better condition of the country. The *San Francisco Chronicle* says: The labor party. He says: "I know what if he runs: if it does not run then I know the laboring element of this country can-not yet organize for the purpose for any organization." Gen. Baxter has arrived at a most important question here. This latest anti-trust bill appears in the interest to charge to him or to involve in a great deal. When there arose an important cause appeared in the *Juror* some time since, whether the evidence and interest in the case bore the interest that was brought to the great deal of the company that brought the interest in all markets. It is the duty of Judge McIllan to dispose of such cases. Any competent donor and to pose judgment in accordance with his conviction without fear of professional or political prejudice. There is no danger that the Judge will not from the door any say to question his honesty and his industry and his careful attention to all the duties of his office. He is absolutely able and is not likely to allow himself to be driven to a decision by the voice of the lobby or any other alleged influence. In the general subject of the company it would seem noble that it is not at all creditable and an undue influence exerted in the case of *Inter Mountain* club. Since the above has been put into type, the case has been discharged in confirmation of the action of the Grand Jury. This will affect very much nobody who reads down the *Inter Mountain* club. It is stated in the city of New York that the recent strike of the car drivers cost the city of New York not less than $1,900,000. As showing the relative losses of capital and of labor, the loss to the streetcar convenience to the public, the statesman finds that the Third Avenue Railroad Company lost $400,000 during the strike or by the strikes themselves in the wages it saved $350,000 that should have been paid the men during that period. The Third Avenue Railroad loss is another $400,000 per week. It had to use the most other street-car companies of the city under these and all around was over $800,000. The loss of trades-people from fewer patrons is variously estimated and should not be recalled to with $1,000,000. Nothing shows that the arbitration have been exhausted. ## Column 5 The *Miner* is indebted to Delegate J. K. Toole for a copy of the advance sheets of the final annual report of the Commissioner of Education, which volume is replete with valuable information on the subject treated, and is most beautifully and elaborately illustrated. A number of tables are given showing the comparative and comparative growth of the different diseases with charts and other valuable figures. The report is exceedingly well practical and should be in the hands of all educators and statisticians. There is no scarcity of brick in Butte. The building operations are beginning to pick up. Farmers who expect to be candidates in the next State are beginning to circulate among the boys. --- # THE GOLD BRICK CASE. ## A Number of Witnesses Examined for the Prosecution of Page. At 7 o'clock last night the examination of Capt. E. F. Page, charged with working the "gold-brick game," was resumed before Judge McMahon. The examination was not concluded until about 11 o'clock, when it was adjourned by the parties. The prosecution was represented by Honorable Wm. Emrich, and the defense by Messrs. Stapleton and Mason. Stapleton was represented by Mason. Stapleton and Mason, both of Butte, are able men in the defence of the accused. The first witness called was Dan Tacey? [Tacey?], who testified that the deposit was in Ohio, and known as "Poison." Wilcox testified that the defendant was in his stable on the night of May 13. James Higgins testified that he was employed by the man-office, a man named Smith, until the 13th until the next stop to the office. A man named Smith came into what he stood and a little in advance of him said he wanted a receipt for boarding a buggy. He had a receipt in his hand. He had the smallest of which was very large. He had deposited the money in the stable and only one coin was charged. He testified also how they recognized those at their station in Butte. He had also met at several times with Blowe; or the shore tie. He would take a few of him at the same time. The defendant was in the city at his time at Spivey's company, at 11:30 o'clock the very night in question and had seen him then also. He stated the balance deposited a value. David Mackbphin had nothing in note, John Bartie was also called with some little detail of the case. It would be too slow for each one to try to note it in detail. But this suggests the beginning of the case. The prosecution then mends, and the defense began with its testimony. J. Fred Page [illegible] who testified that adjournment till 1:30 o'clock, this afternoon, was at the time of the charge against the mine. William P. Garling placed the subject of the lock, but will enforce it to the order of the people at 1 o'clock, and noted others thereon who said this was put next Saturday and adjourned at that until next Monday, and then had rested and stayed. The more general counsel then made his remarks, and the defense, and the fact was divided between the consideration. If a bond has been obtained by a private owner then it is the opinion of the President that it is for every public. For the purpose of a public matter it is for the public to examine, from many sources of that city for $50,000 and the other from Butte for $25,000. We extend our sympathies to any person who was offered such a bond and has not yet got those three for the bonds. --- ## The Copper Market. The following is the list of copper sales at the London Metal Exchange today: [illegible — several lines] Best obtainable bid. Other brands are not all at that sum.

He furnished several raw to support some persons' new city and afterwards was carried to pay his support. William Miser arrived after, Mr. Miser arrived late in his appearance. The wedding of Thomas T. Gray and Miss Katie Barlow, both of Butte, will take place at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the home of the bride's parents on Granite street. Rev. W. C.

GORDON SPRINGS, June 14.—Every person in Montana has heard of these Springs, and not a few have realized their miraculous and curative effects. While these Springs are known to many residents of Montana that twelve or fifteen cases of suffering patients were afforded by the temperature. The prosecution was represented by Messrs. Stapleton and Jackson. At that time the "Pacific, both of Butte and Helena, were able in the defence of all that the state required in the way of accommodation. Among some of the improvements made at these Springs is that many needed accommodations are in process of construction, and greatly needed improvement is due to the enterprise of Colonel French, who has made the property one of the most complete resort [illegible] in the Improvement library Library of Butte. There are also a number of copies of the *Western's Unabridged Dictionary*. The [illegible] library and the literature, the stock is full, and is ready to welcome and receive guests with the best efforts in the power of the improvements which are now to be dispensed. More rooms from the Springs and adjacent cottages have been refurbished prepared as hotels as do well provide accommodation for all guests who come. The baths are well regulated for bathing in the hottest of the springs at the bath residence and for obesity and on-account and suitable medicine for those in need of use. Col. Frank Smith has charge of the office of the resort and has managed with his well remarkable facility and comfort. Mr. Smith is a very clever and kittle-noted [notable?] man, full of energy and the will to do. In 1882, the county doctor, the new physician, Dr. LaBine, also started a beautiful appearance, quite a number of patients. The same also is a fact in the use of accommodations. --- ## Notice of Final Entry. [illegible — notice text] --- ## Order to Show Cause.
