4 or p• DERSONAL I ( A and GENERAL. 4 nrvynnimprnrwrnmnrmonnnwrx • , Wednesda v was paydayatt tie Minah mine. Mr. and Mr:. Will Dailey were in Boulder Saturday. Two G. N. ears are being loaded with ore from the OW th - CgOry mine. L: Chas. Koeirei was up in the Cataract a few days during the week propecting Wickes being such a .religious and .God -fa ring town, the preachers give it awide berth. Miss Josie Shaw leaves today for Lump City, where she will visit With Miss F. Johns. County school superintendent, Miss Bagley, ,was visiting \tali Mrs. Frank Lainoine, at the Minah, Monday. The public school at Boulder has :been closed down, owing to the large number of cases of measles in the For Sale. --Two cows, two calves, .horse and buggy, and a house. For particulars, address W. H. Jacklin, A local branch of the rEtua Savings ...I Loan company was organized at -,1-bin last week. About $300 worth t,t stock was subscribed. Express Messenger Malone. of the H., B. V. & B. branch line, who has been taking a lay-off for the past Week, .returned.to.his post Monday morning. W. H. Jacklin, who has been work- ing at the Corbin concentrator for the past 10 years, was laid off Sunday. He • expects to go to work at the Minah D. P. Wortman has sold thchutdings which were used when work was in. progress at the tunnel, to Geo. Scharf. They are being torn dawn and will be rebuilt in Wickes. 4 . T. Stringer, who has been here for some time representing the /Etna Saving and Loan company, left Tues- day evening for Boulder, where he will organize a branch. We understand that a force of men have, been started turork on the Tim- berline, the property bonded a short time since, from Messrs. Dean and _McArthur, by Williams & Lyon. Charles Sanford came over front •Whitehal Tuesday, with a four -horse team, and has secured , a contract for hauling supplies front Wickes to the • Minah mine. His first trip was made W, I niesday. Warm weather has cosize, and what. shas been done looking toward the sani- tary condition of the town? The back streets and alleys are filled with trash and filth, and is an excellent breeder of disease germs. A correspondent in the Boulder Age' wants to know \what is the matter with the Wickes whisky?\ Not having had any experience in that line, we ..can't say. Can any of our readers solve the problem? I in Sunday last Harry Bartell made a trip to the Van Orman. Bismarck and Australia claims. Harry had a lease on these properties several years ago and took out $1700 worth of very high grade ire. The group is owned by Helena parties. County Assessor Wood was in camp the latter part of last week. Under the new law the duties of an assessor are very arduous, but Mr. Wood in equal to the task, and after he has made the round it would be hard for anyone to find .a piece of properV that he had .overlooked. A. A. Campbell. representing the circulation department of the Inde- pendent, made his 'semi-annual trip to Wickes the early part of the week. Mr. Campbell is the only authorized agent -of the Independent in the state, and consequently it keeps him rustling to Visit every camp twice a year. A shipment pit 2M marks if \product\ was made front the Minah mine Mon- day morning. It was consigned to the Teauction works at Argentine, Kan. This is the largest shipment yet made front the mill, and is probably worth between S4,000 and SA.000, though we were unable to obtain either the exact weight or value. Word was received here Thursday that the 'Great Northern would trans- fer the depot building now at West Great Falls to Whites. to replace the one burned last week. This building is double the size of the one invited, .and is a very handsome and commo- di01114 structure. It will be ready for occupancy the latter part of next week and when D. II. is installed he can look down it the people of Wickes. Messrs. L. G. Rower) and Geo. Dies, of this city. left the early part of the week for the purpose of putting the Timberline mine in a sack aud selling it to Rothschild,. The Timberline contains all the r.iu materials neees- sa ry for the manufacture of money except itreenteicks. and it's no two to one that they •lotet find a chute of guvernment heudssionewhere between the sall iit hat 'prow - ,t y before they .1,1 o p •• 1.1 . cliattges ,,,•„ t ttI - :(1 wards. day operator i'. , rtal, has been given the Wickes station; Robertt Barry. night operator at Portal, has secured the -.day office; and J.

An Arizona editoc wrote to a com- mercial firm in the east, that did btoii- Hess in his section, soliciting an adver- tisement, to which the latter replied by asking: \Where does your paper go?\ With much promptness the Arizona man answered: \To North and South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and it's all I can do to keep it front going to hell.\ The latter part can be truth- fully said of the PioNEER. The Great Northern is a second-class road any way you take it. The officials have decided to shorten the tune be- tween St. Paul • and coast points, and to offset this the Northern Pacific will not only reduce their a;naning : titue several hours, but will add an extra through train, making a double daily train service front the Mississippi to the Pacific. Their train service is also far superior to the former. We have it cut what may be termed to be good authority that when the season is : a little further advanced an extra train willbe put on the H., 13. V. & B. brand/ of N. P. The regular train will go to Elkhorn and Basin, while the extra will only run between Helena and Wiekes. When the new is Put on it will leave the C. N. in the soup, so far as freight, express and passenger traffic between here and Helena is concerned. The Great Northern aurveyers and a large fore of men are at work re- ducing the grade of the road -bed be- tween Helena and Montana City . . It is their intention to he at Corbin some time during the next two week and will immediately begin replacing the old, condemned wooden trestle at that Dr. W: Ai)Tlii. LA LEASEt• A Stag Made Wzde2t.c.':.) , of F011fiCed !Datil •' I of Carbonate Ore, - --- --- Messrs. Wickett & Gordon have se- cured front J. O. Briscoe a lease ow the Stella unite. This property is located Stist across the r:.:ige from Wickes and in years past has given up great strres if wgalth. It has been extensively de- veloped, hilt When OIL' Slump Caine ih the Silver Market tie- pumps %%ere : pulled and the mine has remained ii It' .ever since. The levels and shaft .filled with water and ih Many • the tillIberS have rotted: a great deal .of c'ead work will , t • be done before • the properly' placed on a paying basis. At rre.. the pumps, hoist mad other , formerly 'used in developing I:) , is stored away in Helena. ,This will be brought out in a short time and placed' iii position, after which it will be but a short time before the property is a regular dividend payer. There are many good mines in the Wickes district that can be made producers at a very small cost, and it is the opinion thht-Messrs. Wicket •r•ii secured one of these when they ac- quired control of the Stella. Work Was begun Sunday in a new shaft that was started last fall to dlo - representation work, This shaft is down about 30 feet, and at present is being Worked with a windlass. The lessees had put in but a few shot-- \\lieu a good body of ore was exposed. It is Carbonate and the chute measures 14 inches across. : This is the . same class of ore as that taken from the old shaft on the Stella, which ran about $40 in silver and $22 gold. The strike heat good one, and is but one more hiuuk in the chain of evidence going to prove that the Wickes distrie.t, old though it may be, is onc of the richest and most substantial in the state. , place with a new steel structufe. This is au improvement that has long been' needled, and the G. N. could not expend $441,000 to better advantage. Several of thp smaller trestles -dm this division will be tilled in, and altogether there will be a marked change in the condi- . tion of the road -bed by the time the summer's work is ended. A special train, in charge of Conduc- oar floods and his angelic crew of sky line climbers, came out on the N. P. branch Sunday, bringing Assistant General Manager Miller, of the St. Paul and Duluth railroad, accompanied by J. D. Finn, superintendent of the Montana division of the N. P. The car was fitted up with all modern ap- pliances for testing grades, speed, etc. The branch line I.; a -very rough one, but we are informed that No careful was Engineer \Snappy\ with old 456 that when he returned to Helena he was hightly complimented for the skillful manner in which he had piloted the party through. The special went to both Elkhorn and Calvin. It wasn't a Missouri editor, but a Missouri pri titer's devil who was going througlt his first experience at \mak- ing up forms.\ The paper was late and the boy got his galleys mixed. The first 'part of an obituary' of an im- pecunious citizen had been dumped in the forms and the next handful of type came front a galley describing a recent tire. It read like this: \The pall- bearers lowered the bay to the grave and it was consigned to the flames there few, if any regrets for the .old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years. Of course there was indi- vidual loss. but that was fully covered by insurance\ The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way be- cause the lamented partner of her joys and sorrows owed him five years sub- F .x. Harry Diver came down from the Buckeye Monday, where he had been since the 20th of the month. He says the property is snaking a f•plendid showing, and that before the end of July, the time the lease expires, he and his partners will be living on blast , street. They are now storing from the 1 . 00 -foot and have an ore body that ranges in width from 18 to 24 inches. Ftnir carloads of ore have already : been shipped and the fifth is being loaded. Shipment,' are invite by way of Rimini and the smelter . returns give the ore a value of about $42, gold and silver. to the ton. Four men are now at work oil the claim. and Harry expects to re - tam in a few day., when work will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Besides the ll'ickeye, there are several other good wines around Rimini be- ing extensively developed, and before the h1111111 , CT has passed . that camp will be the center of a regnlar old time boom. apil with but few ex..

Our Jefferson school closed Friday evening, March 27; „with an enter- tainment which was a great success. The program was very interesting - all through, but lack of space prevents its giving a detailed account. Among the pieces worthy of special mentiim were the opening- address delivered by Mas- ter Tom Fulton, The tTnited Workinen, The Four Cardinal Points, The Days of the Week, The Umbrella Drill, Miss Ray's School, The Irish Politician and The Sunflower Quartet. Among the very small people was a recitation by -Miss Winnie Philips and a song by., Miss Bessie Sweet, which 'brought down the house. One -very amusing feature of the evening - was The Ohl Woman Who Lived In a Shoe. The old woman - Miss Josie Ludidy sur- rounded by her dolls, sat in a colassal shoe, which, by the way, must 11 ,- come front Chicago. Our teacher, Nellie Moulton. has worked . hat - : make the school a success aud the folks did credit to her efforts. The family of Theo. Enwright moved to ‘Vickes ti/C first day of this week. Mrs. Walters, sister to Mrs. (jail, is Visiting her son. at Cinhin. We were talking with Mr. Talbot the other day, and he reports busind..ss as being very good. He has just ret:eived several carloads of hay and giain. N. Vestal and M. Norton are putting their placer ground on Wilson creek in shape for work during the coming season. C. Lehner, of the firm of Lehner & was in Boulder this week, and purchased from H. S. Knou les a car- load of very fine cattle. , - The Corbin lark changed his feath- ers: he is now a cnckito.
