J. NJ. Holt, manager of the Mizpah
Live Stock Comany of Miles, has shipped
this season over one hundred cars of cat
tie.
E.S. Newman's outfit. with 5000 head
of Texas cattle, which passed Miles re-
Gently for their range on the Musselshell
are reported to have arrived safely.
Some of the stockmen on the Yellow
stone predict severe winter on account
of the dry weather already experienced.
If the dry weather continues while lon
ger, however, there will be little time
left for the severe cold.
Messrs. Con. Kohrs and Granville
Stuart are now at Custer, experimenting
the shipment Of elgnJy cars Of cattle,
their intention being to start train every
day until the shipment is completed.
A Winnipeg dispatch Of the 18th inst,
says: 1.-THE roundup Of horse thieves in
Montana having made it rather uncom-
Portable for these gentry, they have now
crossed the line and are now in the vi
cinity of Fort McLead. The mounted
police came upon the thieves. raided the
camp and arrested one man named Rath-
we'll but the others made their escape
back across the line.
This afternoon, r. H. Norton is load
ing into the car the erticles collected from
Livingston and vicinity destined for the
New Orleans Exposition. The exhibit
will fill one car, though not as large an
assortment of ores and minerals has been
received as was expected. One of the
finest articles in the collection is beaver
stuffed and mounted by Taxidermist
Whittock of this city. 1t is believed that
the Livingston collection il the finest
and most extensive from any town in
the territory except Butte. Helena will
not quite fill a car.-Enterprise.
A sack of fine specimens of rich gold
rock from a new discovery in Emigrant
Gulch, was received on Wednesday, from
Mr.. Cove of Helena. The rock is bright
with the precious metal and will assay
way up into the tens of Thousands. Mr..
Cove does not know the names of the
fortunate discoveries as the specimens
were sent through another party. The
ore )body is said to be three feet wide
and Is far as opened is apparently Of uni
form richness. ~.
Mountain lions have proven very
troublesome on Locate Greek, fifty miles
southwest of Miles. During the summer
thirteen head of cattle have been killed,
their Threats having been cut by wild
beasts in every instance. Early in the
season a ranchn,an captured q young
cub and started home with him. The
old ones, b owever. got after him and he
tied the cub to a tree, intending to return
and get it. The next day on going to
the spot where he had left his captive, he
found only a carcass, the old lions having
eat the cubs head entirely of.
Returning deer hunters report that the
feet-footed game is somewhat scarce this
fall on their usual runs. This they at
tribute to the fact that the Indians are
doing q good deal of deer hunting this
year-much more than usual-and j: is
rot confined to the vicinity of their res
ervations. This is especially true of the
Flstheads, who are at present lying in
wait for deer upon all the usual runs or
trails between their reservation in Mis-
soula county and the Beartooth noun
tains on the Missouri river. They are
killing hundreds, The fegans are also
doing good deal Of deets hunting, but
their hunting does not extend 90 far
away from their reservation - that of
! the flatheads.-Helena Herald.
