The Belt mountains are believed to con-
tain valuable silver leads. Good prospects
are found in different places, but develop.
ment has never been commenced.
N. SwEETLAND, of Sun River, received, by
the steamer Helena, from Wisconsin, eight
fine thoroughbred Morino ewes and three
very fine bucks, selected by Mr.. H. Sieben,
who spent the past winter in the east.
THE marriage of Julius Levi and Miss
Sarah Mendelsohn was to have taken place
at Butte on Tuesday last. Mr.. and Mrs. l..
Marks, Miss Alice, little Hattie and David,
of Diamond, were in attendance.
THE pioneer steamboat man of the Vel
lowstone river, DR.. Lamme, will make an
other attempt to ascend the turbulent
mountain brooke this season. The steamer
Yellowstone left st. Louis with a cargo for
Bozeman and Yellowstone merchants.
THE Rev. R. M. Craven made Diamond
his last pastoral visit Sunday evening last.
He will in future preach at the Beaver creek
school house on the evening of the fourth
Sunday, and our unusually quiet town is
given over to the wiles of Satan.
THE statement is going the rounds of the
territorial press that Vivian, the vocalist
and character actor, instead of being locked
up in the penitentiary, is doing HI. M. S.
Pinafore, and that his wife is with him. 1t
is also rumored that he is coming to Mon
tana this summer
P. f.; RILEY, the miner, turned farmer,
was up from the valley this week. He re-
ports crops looking well, is well pleased
with the life of a husbandman and intends
bringing out a ditch from the Missouri riv-
err that will cover a thousand or more acres
of new land. We wish him abundant sue
cess in his enterprise.
The May number OF Robert 4. Strahorn's
Neav West is at hand. This number is de-
voted to Colorado and is as handsomely
illustrated and as neatly gotten up as the
Montana edition. The subject matter is
crowded full OF statistics and things of in
terest concerning the Centennial State, con-
tanning double the amount of information
about its resources to be had from any other
source, and for half the money.
THE H~UsBANDMAN home was honored
the past week with a visit from Mr.. and
i Mrs. j. I'll. Sutherlin, the aged father and
mother of the editors, and B. L. Sutherlin, a
younger brother, who arrived in Montana a
short time since on the steamer Red Cloud.
After a brief %sojourn the party continued on
their way to the Musselshell where a home
is in preparation for their reception.
WE ARE pleased to note the return of
Henry Sieben, of Chestnut, who arrived
home last week from an extended tour in
the east. He brought with him ten Merino
ewes and thirty-two bucks. They were
brought from White Water, Wisconsin, and
were selected from some of the finest focks
in that country. Including this acquisition
to their flock, the Sieben Bros. may well
claim to have. the finest flock in Meagher
county.
MEssRs. j. BELL & Son, breeders of Me-
rino sheep, Brighton, Illinois, write us that
they have received a number of inquiries
recently about sheep, by persons in this ter
ritory desiring Merino bucks. They inform
us that a club of orders amounting to ten
car loads of sheep can be furnished at Ogden
tor $500 on the head less than the prices
