The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1870-09-23

For the Fair.-Mr. Con Kohrs has his
stock in for the Fair, and will start them
over on Saturday. 1t is his intention to ex.
hibit five head of horses, seven head Of cat
tie, and probably number Of sheep As
they are just off tho range, they will re-
quire to bo excellent stock to compare fa-
vorably with the we'll cared for stock that
will be in competition.
New Mining Discovery.-Cols. Sanders
and Wheeler report the discovery of mines
about ten miles from the Lake, and on re.
turning they met number of stampeders
from Cedar Greek snd Missoula Valley
going in to spy out the land. OF the precise
extent, location, or yield, we have no par
ticulars.
Growing.-Strange as it may appear,
turnips still grow. We were shown one,
yesterday, grown by Mr.. Thos. H. Irvine,
weighing ten pounds. 1t looked like q
whitewashcd pumpkin, and would be
everything in small family during hard
winter.
Theatrtcsl.-Thc Langrishe Company
played to fine house on Saturday evening.
and this morning left for Helena, where
they will open season, with Mr.. and Miss
Couldock as the leading attraction.
Prof. Swallow.-Col. W. L. Irvine TO-
day received letter from Prof. G. c. Swal.
low, stating that he had been, on Sept Sd,
elected Principal of the Mechanical aud
Agricultural College at Columbia, NO., and
had also been instructed by the Geological
Society Of the State to complete his report
Of the geology of Missouri. While pleased
to see these honors conferred upon so
worthy a gentleman, it is mingled with re.
gret that his favorable circumstances there
will prevent his anticipated return 10 Mon
tana.
Do. Creek Hin Road.-Mr. Downhouer,
the great road builder, will this week begin
the construction of graded road on the
Dog Creek Hill, and expects to complete it
in four weeks. The grade will be 10 inches
to the rod. It will start near the old Walk
or Saw mill. and run on steady grade for
nearly two miles. The road will also be
put into good condition from there to the
Mullan Crossing of the main range. The
we'll earned reputation of Mr.. d. for build
ing good roads is a sure guarantee that the
road when completed will be the best route
between Helena and Deer Lodge. The
rates of toll will be low, and very consid'
cradle distance is saved between the two
points.
Personal. u. S. Marshal Wheeler and
Col. w. F. Sanders returned from the ''lowe1
country" yesterday, having made quite .
tour, but reserving Cedar Creek for future
explorations. They visited st. Mary's Mis-
sion. Fort Owen and Stevensville, in th'
Bitter Root Valley, and can testify from
actual observation to the magnifcence O
its agricultural resources and the magnitude
of its vegetables. They saw and conquered
melons weighing 20pounds, onions and po
tatocs weighing two pounds were not rare
~A--y ~s.~~~ vs 'a''o C"''', ...l ,~,n "ht allow

plumb trees at Harris rancho in a flourish
ing state and although they are too youn!
to bear fruit. they give every promise o
doing so next year. Having "donc' tn
Bitter Root, they returned to the nor.h sid
of the He'll Gate, and started on a northern
tour. They made asortie on Baron O'Kecfe
who keeps watch and ward over the Car
riacken Deflc, and visited the Flathcaa In
dian Agency, under charge of Lieut.. Geo
E. Ford, of whose hospitality and atten
ton to business they speak in terms o
high praise. Thence they went on nortl
to the Mission of st. Ignatius, and visitc'
the Fathers, saw tho school, mills, gardens
farms, dairy, and all that comprise
that enterprise conceived by Father d
Smct, and completed under his direction
thence they went on to the Hudson Ba
post, by the Fla!hcad Lake, the u!tima thu
of their wandcrings. OF the covcys q
geese, duck. swan, prairie chickens an
snipe they captured, they brought no spccl
mems back, nor did they bring any gam
save small brook trout weighing q tract o
over sixteen pounds. They returned in re
newed health, with appc,ities the abho'
renee of landlords, and do greatly commen
the trip to those who would see fine scenery
enjoy hearty hospitality and have fine spo'
until hunting and angling cease to be spol
at all.
