The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1883-10-19

Snow, rain, clouds and sunshine, we'll as
sorted, has been the order of the weather
this week. The barometer at the latest writ
ing had upward tendency, indicating fair
weather.
Mr.. Nelson Bennett, who is in Washing
ton Territory, has taken the contract for
building the bridges and laying the track OF
the Cascade division of the Northern Pacific.
Tuesday last he telegraphed for Mr.. L. A.
Dakin, of this place, to take charge of the
bridge work, and that gentleman will go to
the front Immediately.
A wheeler in a four-horse team fell on
Main street the other day and was dragged
across the cistern at the corner of Second.
The fore part of his body pushed the cover
from the cistern and his hind part dropped
in. He was rescued from his unpleasant po-
sition with considerable trouble. The cis-
tern cover should be made more secure
We have received the first number of Der
Montana Argus, published in Helena, and the
first German newspaper ever published in
Montana. 1t is neatly printed seven col
umn folio, with five column folio literary
supplement. Mr.. Herman Meister is the
editor and publisher. The paper will doubt
less be success, the number of Germans in
the Territory being certainly sufficient to in
sure it fine patronage.
Mr.. B. NJ. DuRell, who recently was pro-
prietor Of family grocery and supply store
in Butte, with branch in Deer Lodge, but
who became financially embarrassed and
made an assignment, started for the new
CGur dAlene mines couple of weeks ago.
When sixteen miles below Frenchtown he
was attacked with pneumonia, and returned
to the latter place, where he received every
care possible, but grew worse and died Tues
day morning of last week.
The Father of Bishop Spalding, of Peoria,
ILL.,, died recently at his home in Marion
county, Kentucky. Bishop Spalding was
school-mate of Rev. Father DeRyckere, of
this place, together with the lately ordained
Archbishop Reardon, of San Francisco.
The spalding family is quite prominent in
Catholic circles, the late Archbishop of
Baltimore being one of the brothers, another
is Bishop of Peoria, third is priest in
Peoria, while fourth Is county Judge in
Kentucky.
James McMullin died in St. Joseph's Hos
pital, Deer Lodge, early yesterday morning
of consumption, the immediate cause Of
his death being hemorrhage of the lungs.
He has been in the hospital about month,
and, we understand, declined to take medi-
cal advice, as he felt that his case was
hopeless. He was an old timer in the terri |
tory, having mined in Alder and Henderson
gulches, Pioneer, and Philipsburg, but of
late years has been ranching in the vicinity
of the latter place. His friends remembered |
him as man of sterling worth and pleasant
ways. He will be buried om the hospital |
at 8 p. m to-day.
Messrs. Dunkleberg & Morse are putting In |
an excellent Touring mill on Flint creek, az |
New Chicago, and will probably have 1t |
within month. It will contain |
three run Of stones, with q capacity of eighty |
to one hundred barrels of fiou- per day. The
is Of the latest and best style that |
could be secured in the East. The gentlemen
contemplate putting in machinery next spring
for the manufacture Of oat meal, q business
that will probably prove very profitable on
account Of the superiority of Montana oats
over that raised in any other section of the
country. Only about 1000 bushels of good
wheat were raised in the Flint creek valley
this year, the frost cutting off considerable
Of the crop, but as the farmers are now as
,ured of chance to get their grain made
INTO -four, much larger acreage will be
,own next year. The gentlemen who have
the enterprise certainly deserve
he thanks and encouragement Of the COM
nunity and the county.
