school house, in Maiden, last Thursday
.sevening, A. M. Esler and J. NJ. Vrooman
were chosen rs delegates to represent
this precinct in The Republican County

A call for the annual town meeting
to elect II recorder and appraisers will
be seer in this issue. All property
holders should aim to be present and
see to 1t that II capable and reliable re-

an equally as good choice will be made.
Readers of this paper will study their
interest by stopping at the Choteau
House, when they have business in
Benton. Mr.. Jere Sullivan, the propri-
etor, is a thorough hotel man, and
looks after the comfort and wants of
his patrons. His house throughout is
neat, clean and comfortable, while the
table is equal to the best in that city.
His advertisement will be found in
another column.
George Mcclure was in Sunday from
the North Moccasin and brought with
him some fine specimens of course
gold that make a tenderfoot's eyes
water. Mr.. Mcclure says his ground is
good for six or seven dollars n day as
long as water lasts. We have no doubt
but there is better placer mines in this
vicinity than can be found in the whole
Occur d. Alene region, the only draw
back being sufficient water throughout
the summer season, to carry on work.

worst of it, still he does think of adver-
