BELT MOUNTAINS BOOM.
The Queen cf the Hills Bonded to L. G'
Baker g. Co. for 800. 900, and the Mas
sachusetts TO Hauser and Hotter
for Large Sum.

J. r. Wilton returned from the Mon
tana district yesterday and informs our
reporter that he succeeded in securing
the SIGNATURES of the various owners OF
the Queen of the Hills, Homestake and
O'Brien leads, and that the document is
now signed and sealed by which these
leads are bonded to I. G. Baker & co. for
500 600, the bond running six months.
This is an important transaction Tor
that camp, as T. G. Baker & Co. propose
to put on a large force of men at once to
develop the property and will have large
reduction works under construction be-
fore very long.
But this is not all of the good news.
Messrs. Hauser & Hotter, of Helena,
have bonded the Massachusetts, for a
large sum (the amount of which we have
not learned) and will also proceed at
once to develop that lead, and these gen
tlemen never do things by half.
/ These transfers-and we may cal
them such, as the sales will undoubted
ly be made at the expiration of the BOND
ed terms-will give the Montana dlstrlc
| big boom.

George Houk returned last evening
from Old Agency and the upper Teton
country, where he had been on business
connected with the sheriff's office. He
tells us that country is settling up fast.
The progress made this year is simply
astonishing, and there is yet no abate-
ment of the boom. A Missoula county
colony of several families, under the
auspices of Capt. Higgins, is now on the
way and will soon be located in the val
ley.
III. J. Wackerlin & Co. completed yes
terday several dozen copper and tin
bracelets for Tom 'Hanlon, of Belknap.
Tom doesn't expect to wear them him
self. but will trade them off to the Gros
Ventres dudes and dudines, who wear
| them on the arms above the elbow. The
articles Of jewelry referred to are about
| five inches wide and built so that they
clasp tightly about the arm. We have
no doubt but that several OF the Belknap
braves will 'go broke" on these brace
| lets.
The coroner's jury in the case OF Prof.
Lewis who killed the girl Eva, who was

We Hope it is Untrue.

WASHINGTON, August at is under
stood that the court martial which tried
Lieut.. Col. Ilges, on the charge of du-
plicating his pay accounts, found him
guilty and recommended his dismissal
from the service.
This is but conjecture, and we trust
has no foundation in fact. But even il
the court martial should so find we be-
lieve Gen. Sherman and the president
will see that Col. Ilges retains his posi-
ton of usefulness in the service. Not
q few of the officers who sat in that tri-
b1nal are enyious of Col. Ilges' fame
and would naturally want him dismiss
ed and dishonored. We hope their Wish
will not be gratified.
