NEW GOLD FIELD. rha Kweet (Ira Hill or Montana tha w MeeH of the Gobi Keekflr Hlg Kamly 1'IIteO with lr,pt.etorUmHttiHic, mhiI -Here ArrUiaic Hvery llay Kesolw So far Katbilaelory In tha 1'laeer 1U. K'hks. Km 8anv, Mont,, March 10.-TliU little town i lull of excitement ovar the development of gold mluas iu tha Sweat Urass hlllt, fifty-five miles northwest of here. People have just arrived from the bill report liitf that miners iu the Eclipse XuMi are making from fifty to eighty dollars a day. The most ot the gold Is taken ant iu the pla er dlgglugs, but blue or has- been struck by several' parties iu tha hills, and the country is full of prospectarH from Helena and other mlnlug dlotricts. If the present rush continues, jtraiteueti times must inevitably remit, as men from all part of Moittnuik and Dakota are Hocking here In groat uumbers without making adequate provision for subsistence. Frank Stiles, of Chamberlain, S. D., heads a party of gold-seekers who arrived from St, Paul yesterday. They will open a mine owned by Stiles in Eaat Butte, and all are prepared to locate claims. Resides the gold deposits which aro the center of Interest, the amount of silver In the rock at tho hill lias led to the organisation of companies, the Brown, Ried & Hell, tho Detroit and the Hazel, which are now opening mines at Eat Rutte in tho hills. Other parties ur prospecting for this ore, which exists in well-defined leuds all through

this region. Actual work at iho mines has as yet only fairly begun, but tha results are very satisfactory to tho parties workiug claims. To Alfred HHles, a Butto miner, is. probably duo tho credit of the discovery of gold in paying quantities iu tho hills, lis has been workiug quietly at Middle Butte for nearly 11 year, and showa about four thousand dollars for his labor. About a week ago, however, a general rush commenced, and now tho cottutry is overrun with prospectors, aud supplies cau not bo brought iu fast enough to feed every body. It looks as If a temporary f amino was imminent. The Sweet Grass hills, in which the gold has beou discovered, are fifty-live miles by wagon road northwest of Rig Sandy, aud just south ot the international boundary. The hills comprise three buttes.varylngin elevation from 7,!KH) to H.tOOfeet. Water and timber are abundant in East Butte; no timber, nnd water scarce in Middle Ilutte. Between and around tho buttes tiro broad bottom lands with small creeks, The richest placer diggings are nt Eclipse Gulch," iu Middle Butte. Silver, coppur, iron and u fine quality of marble havo beon found, while coal is abundant on Milk river und Sage Rock, to tho easL If tho present immigration continues, these mines will bo developed In a short time, and prices of food, , now at the . top notoh, will go UP out of sight. Scarcely n "mm at the mines is getting Jess than four dol lars n day, that being the wages paid, b-tt nearly overy one is prospecting for himself. Tho one great obstacle horo is the distanco from market. There are but two lines of railroad here. Dr. Darker, of 1 Helena, and a party of Ohio capitalists control a valuable property here, and have ' decided to develop these mines next month, taking the products to Denton or Great Falls. Like everyone else they tiro enthusiastic on gold-finding, aud nothing else can be heard around here but tho great strike in tho Sweet the development otthw ml Sweet Grass hills aud ties there. CAPTAIN DAWSON. Tint Knble l.lfn t.et Out ojr ttio Oplianclien Murderer, Ir Mellow How III Conl-iir-n noil Courage n the Nliflit or tlie Kiirtliquxki' .SrvimI CliarltM'tnn. Chari.kston, S. C March 10. A gontleman, whose identity may not bo disclosed, told a correspondent that ho knew the contents of tho paper signed and sealed by Miss Smith, "tho short, white woman in black," of Policeman Gordon's story. This paper, ho says, contains the statement that Miss Smith was In Dr. McDow's house at tho time of tlie shooting; that she heard a pistolshot In tho office, followed by a fearful scream; that she rushed down to tho office and saw Captain Dawson sitting on a chair gasping for breath. He saw her, aud cried: "For God's sake briug mo some water." Sho ran up.stairs for tho water and when sho returned sho found the door locked aud could not sectiro admittance. The strongest proof of Captain Dawson's hold upon tne affections of his associates was la the bridling of their wrath against Ills slayers. What ho taught most earnestly and fought for most courageously during his lifetime was respect for law and opposition to all disorder. When the first whisper ran Ilirougii uuj imiiuiuuu Kauiortiii 111 nuru of the murderer's house that Captain Dawson's dead body was tho mystery concealed behind those closed blinds, the old South Carolina venlict of "lynch him" was written in every face. It was not tho Iron bars of the jail which saved tho murderer that night, but tho multitude's remembrance that only tho law could niige tha death of Captain Dawson. Cuptniu Dawson has been called tho only sano man in Charleston during tho earthquake. Ho rushed from Ills house which a shock had torn lu twain for his office, whoso walls threatened every moment to fall apnrt, and thought of nothing else until tho regular Issue of Ills paper wns in tho press. Tho appearance of tho News nnd Courier as Usual in tho morning so astonished and reassured tho people that they gathered their scattered wits together and profited by tho example set thorn. To this day they declare that Captain uuwsoti'.s courage that night saved Charleston. His moral courage survived tho severest ted. He wns opposed to every form of lawlessness, and whetl all tho rest of South Carolina uphold tho dueling code, hi denounced It.
