Joe Wilder, the old Bald Mountain miner, has been heard from. On January 6 he left here for his hit annual hunt, and since that time hat been having a matinee on the classic banks of the Little Missouri. Joseph came in yesterday, and hit two months' diet on venison straight made him look as brown as a nut. He came in from Boone May's camp, which is twenty miles below the city of Stoneville. Tbe blockade hat been felt by the hunters in that section.

Flour became scarce many moons ago, and tbe man who had enough for a slapjack was regarded as a millionaire. In tbo end they all starved out, and Joe was sent to procure supplies. Before they reached Stoneville there were twenty of them, and they cleaned up everything but taeat. There was any amouut of that, and they expected to find lots of flour at Stone's ranch. When they got there they found twenty pounds of buckwheat flour, and that was all, but it was a godsend to them.

It was wet up and baked and cooked in a jiffy. Joe is all right now; he will return to-morrow with plenty of flour and tbe hunters will all be happy. Boone May is in camp and has any amount of venison, buffalo mat and buffalo skins. Joe Wilder's outfit have not run across any buffalo but they have killed any amount of antelope and doer, and the wagons that came in with him were loaded down to the guards with it. Boone May, Gallup and all the gulch boys are doing well, and When they get rich poisoning wolves, etc.

will come hotne. By the way, Joseph says there has been snow out there aod it has been cold. Mlila JRewe. "From PrSfessor Powers, superintendent of the developments that are being made the Treasure Trove mine, we learn that the tunnel that is beinc div into the mountain to strike the continuation of the Cale donia ledge, is now in 800 feet About 150 feet will have yet to be run before the prize is reached. It is considered almost certain that it Is there, at it it known that this ledge crosses the Bob tail under the eld Gopher mill on the east side of the location, and on the west side of the mine where it crosses Dcadwood gulch, under Jim liverr stable, there is a fourteen foot vein of good milling ore.

This tunnel is running in the direction of the De-Smet mine, and at right angles with the formation, and it is but a matter ot time when they will strike the ledge. On Blacktail, in the Gustin or Chief of the Hills, there was a huge cave or letting down of the roof. Something near an acre of it came down night before last, but fortunately no one was at work at that time. It was never prop erly timbered, and we havo always con. sldercd it a death trap.

There should have been a law passed this winter making it a misdemeanor for any mine to suffer such work to be done where miners must take such chances The old Foot Hildcbrand mill in Gay vllls started up yesterday on this ore but we presume It will have to shut down again soon. eaaeatxiaa. The voiing at the late Central fair may give an outsider who it unfamiliar with our manner of doipg buslneat a wrong impression of some of our very best citizens.

The doctor is a sni-ill mm, and is considered to be a very innoffensive person, and certainty a rain who has never figured in any brawls or quarrels. On the night in question he bad been down street, and had imbibed pretty freely of Ave cent beer, and had had got as near home as bis front porch when the gentlemen above named downed him with clubs, and probably but for the arrival of Mr.

Frank and Mr. McDowell, who were awakened by the noise and rushed to the scene, he would have been pounded into a pulp.

The first waslo'rccdver the sum ot $1,081.3.) on a bond given April 1, 1878, and the second was for $7,275.08 on a bond given December 19, 1878- Judge Campbell gave authority from K.

Ray-nor, solicitor of the treasury depart ment, which stated that a compromise had been effected, and by said compromise the sum ot $2,315 bad been paHd into the United States treasury on the first bond, and the sum ot $5,500 on the second claim, amounting in all to $7,815, that was paid over to the United States in settlement of the sum of $11,936.60, claimed by the govern ment as due from Adams to the department. The attorneys tor the different bonds men came into court and were Interviewed. Some of them had demurred and others had filed answers, but upon consultation each one of them withdrew his answer or complaint, and judgment was taken by default for $2,315 and costs iu the 11 rat suit and $5,500.00 and costs in the second suit. The costs in the two cases will amount to about $125, and this amount the bondsmen will have to pay, and they will be free from any further liability. The records now show that the judg ments have been satisfied by payment of the amounts by the bondsmen, and in the future it will be a lien of the bondsmen upon any property that their principal jnay become possessed of.
