Ne1hart and Snow Creek Items.

The Hudson mining company are
negotiating with freighters for the
transportation of their expected stamp
mill from the railroad to the camp.
Three cents and a quarter seems to be
the lowest rate they can get. This COM
pany now has two shifts steadily at
work on the Mountain Chief, and all
reports from this valuable mine continue
as favorable as ever.
Kingsbury's men are hard at work
on the Queen of the Hills, but they keep
their WI secrets, and admit no out
siders into the tunnels, which are being
worked. The immediate result Of their
labor is not known in the camp.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by Frank Stelebrass' action in
locating the Frisco No. 2, right through
the center of Neiha1t, thus rendering
the title to many a town lot rather
cloudy. Many of the spectators in cor
ner lots swore by all that was holy that
it was only a play Of Franks, who,
backed by some prominent men at the
Springs, wished to gobble up the town
a well defined lead-a first class pros
pect.
On Snow creek, Dan Lombard is sink
ing on the Ontario, which shows up
better as more depth is gained. That
fine prospect, the Xxi, is being worked
by its lucky owner, Tuck Lambert, and
we expect to hear Of plenty of rich ore
being hoisted from that shaft this sum-
mer. The Collins & Stevens lead has
been relocated by Barker & Caldwell.
The hungry inhabitants of Neihart
can now be fed at J. NJ. Birds, who has
moved up from Barker this spring. Two
saloons (Barrett's and SelleW's) dispense
the exhilerating corn juice to the boys,
and Capt. McIntosh's store dispenses
the more substantial and more needed
bacon, beans and baking powder. A
blacksmith shop in course of erection
completes the list of Neihart's present
business houses, but before another
twelve months rolls around we prophecy
a much longer list.

prominent persons of this city, visited

Presidential Candidate for Two Parties,
and Waiting for More.

Ex-GOy. B. +. Butler is unquestlon-
ably receiving the benefit of a boom OF
considerable pretensions. His nomina-
ton for president by the Greenback-
Labor convention, which follow, speed
lily upon that rendered co him by the
Anti-Monopolist convention in Chicago,
is-to say the least of it-an actual nom-
ination. To be sure, it was not unani-
NOUS, about 100 delegates IN an assem-
bly, OF $50 having refused to vote for him
under any circumstances whatever.
Nevertheless, it was u nomination, and a
man who goes into the field" and we
use the words here in the sense in
which racing men employ them) with
two nominations to his credit and three
or four more about to fall due, is not to
be despised as a candidate. It is very
well understood that Butler proposes to
be himself 1.-The field"-the republican
nomination being the only one which
lie has not reached out after. There
were murmurs and even bolts from the
Autobiography convention in Chicago,
and some or the rlng-streaked and the
\ speckled delegates OF the motley throng
vowed that the convention had been
corruptly fixed" for Butler. But the
redoubtable Ex-Governor OF Massachu-
sets ought to be able to silence these
and other cavilers.
Gen. Ben Butler is one of the squarest
men in the world, and the freest from
humbug. He is willing to be president,
and he says SO to everybody who asks
him. He has opinions Of mis- own, and
he avows them like a man. Some of
them are popular and some are not; but
this makes no difference to Butler. For
instance, he is in favor of a graduated
income tax and Of a tariff which shall
bestow special protection on agricul-
tural interests; and he is also in favor
of protection for American manufac-
lures.

Maiden's New Smelter.

The Maiden Reduction company have
ordered a So, 100 smelter from Frazer &
Chalmers, of Chicago, and paid 81 1000
cash down on the same. The machin-
cry will be shipped from Chicago July
9th, SO that it will be erected and run
ming in good shape this fall. We are
all glad to see this action taken, which
will help in lifting this promising camp
out of the financial depression caused
by the failure of the Collar company.

THE RIVER PRESS.

where the Indian agent has taken the
trouble or had the foresight to get suff-
cient food for his helpless wards this
last winter. Congress is not near so
much to blame for this d%eplorable state
of affairs as the agents, as was found to
be the case at the Blackfoot agency last
spring. The necessary appropriations
are invariably made by congress on the
proper representations being made by
the agent in charge.

place. The agency at Belknap seems to
be the only one in northern Montana
