The Assay Office.

Mr. Charles Rumley, Assayer in charge of the Montana Assay Office, is busily engaged in placing in positionlthe new machinery, ap­paratus, etc., which lately arrived from Corinne. Mr. Rumley expects to have every­thing in shape to commence operations by the first of January, and possibly before that time. The plasterers are at work in putting on the finishing coat, the roof is being pain­ted, the lot graded, and, in fact, everything is progressing as well as could be expected, and in a short time this important govern­ment institution will be in full blast.

Utah Mines.

The mines of Utah are coming into greater prominence as the Bullion yeld increases and becomes more certain. The outpour of gold, silver and lead is now estimated at over $5,- 000,000 yearly, although it is impossible to arrive at strictly accurate figures, from the fact that the treasure and base bullion have no fixed channel of export. There are no less than ninety mining districts in Utah, and it is stated that ten thousand persons are di­rectly engaged in mining. The mines and improvements are valued at $20,000,000, but of course estimates of this character are nec­essarily unreliable. Mining in Utah has set­tled down to a substantial basis, and is being prosecuted in a different manner from that which ruled in the days of Emma and Flag­staff. Most of tne leading mines are still worked and controlled by English capital, and their management is proverbially thrifty and economical.—San Francisco Stock Re­port.

BREVITIES.

—A Diamond R train loaded with goods for Helena merchants arrived from Benton yesterday, bringing the freight that was dis­charged at Cow Island.

—The balance of the year’s supply of paper for the Daily and Weekly editions of the Hekald arrived yesterday. It is the best quality of paper ever shipped to the Territory, and wras purchased in Chicago.

—The Philadelphia Chronicle says : But two brief months ago and the ice man could command a bow from our most aristocratic citizens. To day he sits neglected and shiver­ing on his box, a blue-nosed victim of human instability.

—Mr. Talmage was painfully but not ser­iously injured while delivering his sermon before an immense congregation last Sunday morning. He had just successfully accom­plished the double somersault over the pulpit, and in making the flying leap from the read­ing-desk to the organ loft he missed the second trapeze» falling across a pew and in­juring his legs so that he was unable to con­duct the evening performance.—Exchange.

Incendiary Fires in St. Paul.

St . Paul, Minn., November, 3.—Three incendiary fires occurred here this morning. The first at 2 o’clock, destroyed the house of Joseph Lick, whose wife was killed at the door of the same house by Lautenschlacger, Rapp, and Mrs. Rapp, just two years ago. Lick and boys, four in number, were taken from the house insensible from smoke by per­sons who first discovered the fire. Popular feeling ascribes this act of incendiarism to some unknown friend of Lautenschlaeger.

The second fire, at 4 o’clock, destroyed the new dwelling-house of N. P. Langford, who is absent from the city on a wedding trip. In going to the fire No. 3’s horses ran away, thowing the driver, P. Smith, from the en­gine, breaking his leg and jaw.

The third fire, at 7 o’clock, destroyed Edge- comb & Nelson’s carpenter shop. Losses— Lick, $3,000; insured in the Watertown, N. Y., for $1,000. Langford, $8,000 insured in the St. Paul Fire and Marine, $5,000. Chief Justice Gilfillan’s residence was damaged $400 ; fully insured in the St. Paul Fire and Marine. Edgecoiqb & Nelsons’s insurance on stock was $500 in the Glen Falls, N. Y. The building was owned by Uri Lamprey. No clue to the incendiaries.

Personal.

—Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Todd left for Benton this morning.

—Mrs. T. C. Power and little boy, arrived on the coach yesterday morning.

—Deputy United States Marshal Beidler left Helena several days since for Fort Peck on important official business. He will be absent several weeks.

—Among those booked at the Cosmopoli­tan last night were Jno. Keating, of Raders- burgh, A. Spencer, of Cave gulch, and I. B. Dawkins, of Whites gulch.

—Mr. Samuel D. Stuart, one of the early pioneers of Montana, leaves for Iowa to-mor­row morning, to visit his friends and rela­tives in that State, and will be absent until spring.

—Mrs. T. C. Power left this morning for Benton, where her mother awaits her arrival. Mrs. Power, it is to be hoped, will soon re­turn to Helena and take possession, as her fu­ture home of the magnificent brick, residence recently erected by Mr. Power on the west side of town.

—Miss Steell, daughter of George Steell, Esq., of Sun River, arrived in company with Mrs. T. C. Power, on the overland coach Wednesday night. Miss Steell is an accom­plished young lady, who has finished her studies in the best schools of the East, and returning now to join her lather, over whose elegant home in Northern Lewis and Clarke she will preside.

The Portland, Dalles A Salt Take K. It.

By the following,[which we find in the Salt Lake Tribune, it will be seen that the Port­land Railroad is making considerable ■ pro­gress : “ The grading on the Portland Rail­road is progressing, four miles being com­pleted, and the survey finished as far north as Malad City. Mr. C. House is sawing out the ties rapidly, and has already 200,000 feet of lumber out for the erection of bridges and buildings. The company are negotiating with the U. P. R. R., the C. P. R. R., and a Chicago iron company for supplying the new road with iron and rolling stock. A dispatch from Colonel Chapman, at Portland, was re­ceived yesterday, announcing his departure from that place with the wherewith to make the first payment to the contractors.

Stark, Vice President of the Northern Pacific Railroad, in which he says : “Orders have been sent over to commence work on the Pa­cific coast. I hope we may be able also to move in Dakota in the spring.’’

—“ Blue Jeans” Williams visited Indian-* apofts last Thursday to give an order for a pair of kid gloves. When he put up his good right hand to be measured it darkened the whole store, and many superstitious custom­ers crawled under the counter, thinking it was an eclipse "f the sun.—Brooklyn Argus.

Money ! Money !The receipts of money for Tickets in the

Grand Drawing of the “Kentucky Cash Dis­tribution Company,” during the last few days, have been almost unparalleled. It seems as if the whole country had broken out into a frenzy of ticket-buying. No city, and scarcely a town, village, or hamlet has refused to con­tribute to this drawing. This is not to be wondered at, when we consider the magni­tude of the gifts, the cheapness of the tickets, and the perfect fairness of the drawing. At the present rate, the tickets will give out be­fore the drawing ; so buy your ticket at once. Whole tickets, $12 ; halves, $6 ; quarters, $3. Ex-Gov. Thos. P. Porter, General Man­ager, Frankfort, Ky.

FOR SAL JE.

From the Daily Herald of November 18.

The C'aiico Parly.The annual Calico Ball given last evening

by the managers of the Helena Library for the benefit of that institution, was a splendid success in every particular. The Assembly room of the new' school house W'as literally thronged with the elite and beauty of the metropolis, the attendance being larger than on any previous occasion of this kind. The young ladies, bedecked in their gay and tasty calico dresses, looked uncommonly charming and attractive, and to their credit be it said, conducted themselves in such a manner as to be irresitibly captivating. Helena has become noted on account of its feminine beauties, and we doubt if any town in the mountains of its population can boast of so many interesting and beautiful girls, possessing as they do in an eminent degree, those “soft and bewitch­ing arts” w'hich never fail to charm and cap­tivate. The gay dance was kept up until nearly 3 o’clock *his morning, nor did the participants, even at that late hour, manifest any inclination to quit, so swiftly did the hours while aw ay.

The refreshments contributed by the friends of the Library, and served up in an adjoining room, were excellent, and relished with a gusto that w’as “condimental” to say the least. The music, by Homer Hewins band, was, as a matter of course au fait ; the floor managers wrere active and prompt in performing their duties, so that the even­ing passed off in such a pleasant manner that the Calico Ball, may be styled the social event of the season. The net receipts, we learn, were about $130, which amount will be ex­pended in the purchase of new books for the Library. Among the gentlemen present from abroad, we noticed several officers of the U. S. A., from Ft. Ellis and Camp Baker.

A Howe's Harness and Leather Sewing Machine. Nearly new, in perfect order, and will be sold at less than half its cost. Apply at the Herald office.

The Foot Races at Phtllipsburg.The foot race came off last Friday, as an­

nounced, with only Philips and Thompson running through. The race was won by Philips by 6 or 8 feet. The same evening a race was made between the same parties—D. C. Thompson and Benny Philips—for $500 a side; distance, 100 yards; race to be run cn Monday, November 13th, on Ohn’s track. The race came off promptly, and was won by Thompson, on 18 inches. Nobody ap­peared to know wrho Thompson was when he came here, and he is not at all communica­tive about his races, except that he has run in Colorado. The boys are beginning to find out, though, that he is a hard man to bet against, and runs like a deer. A match has also been made between Thompson and Geo. Adams, 50 steps, for $300 a side, to be run Friday, November 24th. T re is $100 for­feit now up. It is thought a match will yet be made between Thompson and Geo. Ham­mond, who is probably the fastest runner inMontana. Thompson has plenty of money, which he is free to put up anywhere in the thousands, and if he is matched against Ham­mond there will be more money change hands on it than any race that has taken place in the Territory.—New North- West.

Matrimonial.The ripple of the even tenor of events in

this place was disturbed by a social episode that occurred at the M. E. Church on the 8th —the marriage of Mr. J. A. J. Chapman to Miss Ethel Weeden. A large number of in­vited guests were present on the occasion to witness the interesting ceremony. Mr. G. A. Wolf and Miss Florence Abbott acted as seconds to the principals. After the cere­mony, the friends repaired to the residence provided for the happy couple, where they ate cake, extended their warmest congratula­tions, and drank wine to the health, long life and happiness of the wedded pair. The oc­casion wTas a pleasant one throughout, and no doubt had the effect of inducing in the minds of others a firm determination to go and do likewise. —Missoulian.

Personal.—Mrs. T. C. Power will remain over until

Monday.—Jno. T. Murphy, of the firm of Murphy,

Neel & Co., arrived on the overland last evening.

—Mrs. E. L. Toy, who has been visiting friends in the States during the past three months, arrived home last night on the over­land coach.

THE HOSTILE SIOUX.

Successful Pursuit and Fight with the Indians by Gen. Miles.

Particulars of the Conference with Sitting Bull and other Chiefs.

Sitting Bull Attempts to Escape but is Overtaken and badly Whipped.

[Special to the Pioneer-Press.]G l e n d it e Cr e e k , October 26.—General

Miles, with the Fifth Infantry, left Tongue river on the 17th inst., to meet a supply train from Glendive three days over due. After making a forced march of twenty-four hours he met scouts of Colonel Otis, w'hose com­mand had been attacked by Indians, whom they drove off. General Miles then marched to Cedar Creek, where, on the 20th inst., the Indians appeared on the bluffs and 'waved a flag of truce. Lieutenant Bailey was then sent out to invite the Indians in camp to con­verse. The principal chiefs came in with this officer to make terms. They weie Sit­ting Bull, Gall, John Sansarcs, Bull, Eagle, and others. After a long talk they promised to come into camp and submit to terms. The next day the Indians not making their ap­pearance early, General Miles moved his command on the trail. After marching six miles a few Indians came in to meet the com­mand and to have a council. General Miles agreed to talk with Sitting Buli and the other chiefs. After some delay they came up and General Miles offered them terms of sur­render, placing themselves under the control of the Government. Sitting Bull not being satisfied, he promised to come in thirty days after finishing his hunt. General Miles de­manded Bull Eagle and six other chiefs as hostages, which was agreed to. At this mo­ment the council broke up without any ap­parent cause and the Indians left for their camp. General Miles sent his interpreter at once after them, with wrord to return at once or he wTould consider their acts hostile. They did not return but formed their bands in line on the crests of the hills within a mile from General Miles’ command. The whole com­mand was deployed in line as skirmishers and advanced on the Indians, who commen­ced firing the prairies all about. This being a hostile act the mounted scouts in front fired on the Indians and the battle commenced. The Indians rose in great numbers, covering the crests of the ravines and firing incessantly. The troops drove them from point to point,out o f ravines and over bills, tlirougli their

own camp, and on to the high divide near the head waters of the Big Dry river. The battle ground covered a distance of about 9 miles. Five Indians were left dead on the field. Great numbers were seen to fall and were carried off by their comrades. In their flight from their camp the Indians abandoned tons of meat, immense quantities of hides and robes and camp equipage of all kinds. The fight ended at 8 p. m. General Miles went into camp on a high position, the Indians be­ing in full retreat, covered by darkness. Be­fore daylight the next morning the command was moved in pursuit. The Indians made great efforts to draw the troops from the pur­suit by attacking on the flanks and rear. All these attacks were repulsed gallantly. Then the Indians set fire to the long grass to keep the troops off, but General Miles fired the grass on his front and kept up the pursuit until the afternoon of the 23d inst., when he found that the Indians had crossed the Yel­lowstone to the south. General Miles rested his camp on the north bank of the river and waited for supplies. Bull Eagle has to-day come m to surrender, and Sitting Bull has gone north with thirty lodges, it is supposed to Fort Peck. The Indians engaged w'ere about 1,000 warriors. General Miles’ com­mand numbered 400 men, all of the Fifth infantry. I send this brief account by Lieut. Woodruff, of the 5th infantry, who is going through with dispatches and who was in the engagement.

The Reason*The reaeon for the unprecedented demand for Dr.

Price’s Cream Baking Powder and True Flavoring Extracts, Vanilla, Lemon, etc., is the result of their being just as represented, of superior strength and uniform quality, coupled with the equaliy potential fact, that they contain not one grain of unwholesome substances. Having thoroughly tested them ourselves we have no hesitancy in saying that they will accom­plish just what is claimed for them, and one single trial will readily convince any person as to the truth of our assertion.
