The Little Rocky Mines.

The arrivals from the Little Rockies
reports for the most part are favorable;
but few have returned who say there is
nothing there. That SO few should
bring these reports back is a good indi-
cation that all that has. been said is cor
rect in the main. Many parties have
gone back to remain with their claims
all winter, SO that if the reservation bill
passes, any right they may have can be
retained. It has been said that parties
in Little Alder gulch will take out at
least $4,000 before winter, and this re-
port has been verified. The men who
not state definitely what has been done.
On Rock creek money is being taken
out IN considerable quantities, but how
much has not been learned. On Peo-
pies creek more work has been done
than in any other locality, and the own
aers of claims there.are very sanguine of
the result. One of the principal claim
owners in that camp says he can take
out ten dollars a day with a pan, but
they are making preparations to work
on q more extensive scale, and as soon
as their drain is completed they expect
to show large results, as indeed they
must, for good colors are found from the
grass roots down.
AS we have before said, every one has
faith in the deep diggings, and work
on them will commence as D o as pos
sible. It may not be until spring, but
the owners Of the claims are bound to
work them for all they are worth. An
other season will make the development
Of the mines more complete, sufficient,
perhaps, to induce capital, which is a
necessity in deep diggings to thoroughly
work them, to invest, and the good re-
suits which will follow will show to the
country that the mines Of Choteau
county are not a myth.

". FL. HUNT, the republican nominee
for district attorney, lives in Fort Ben
ton, Choteau comfy, and is a son Of the
late VIM H. Hunt, ex-secretary Of the
navy and minister to Russia. He is at
present collector Of customs for Montana.
Mr.. Hunt is a young lawyer who has
already made his mark in his profession
He was a member of the constitutional
convention which met last winter in
Helena, and although one of the young
est members Of that body, was recognize
ed as one of the ablest and most efficient.
He is an eloquent speaker, and is bound
to impress people wherever he speaks
during the campaign, is a great favorite
with those who know him, and will
give Col. Johnston the hardest race he
has ever yet had.-Tranchant.

frages Of the people. There is not an
exception to be made, every nominee

II the tax payers Of the county desire
that the next administration be an honest

effective way to secure that end and at
the time rebuke those who have so out
%rageously managed county affairs in
the past.

WHEN the votes are counted out on
the 4th Of November it will be found
that S. L. Kelly, republican candidate
for clerk and recorder, will have a nice
snug majority over all competitors. Mr..
Kelly is justly Of the most popular
young men in the county and will have
friends in every precinct working for
him. He has always been faithful to
every trust and if elected to the position
he now seeks will prove an obliging and
capable officer.

JUDGE KNOWLES is q man worthy of
the support Of every republican in the
territory. Able, painstaking and Of un-
swerving integrity he would most fifty
represent this great territory in the
halls of congress. Montana is to-day a
republican territory and if the united
and determined effort is made Judge
Knowles will be the next delegate to
congress. Choteau county republicans
ought to do their full share of the good
work Of rolling up q majority for the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of Silver Bow
county.

painstaking officer. Mr.. Spencer's rec
ord as police magistrate is one that his
friends may well be proud Of and if

The Republican Nominee.

The republican territorial convention
at Helena on Saturday last nominated,
on the second ballot, for delegate to con-
gress Hiram Knowles of Butte. It was
one of those happy conclusions conven
tions sometimes reach and as such was
| ratified unanimously and heartily by
| the convention in which were his late
competitors. It is no disparagement to
n other aspirant in Montana, nor to
! those who had other fayorites in the
convention, nor to his distinguished
competitors themselves, to say that we
believe its action was the Wisest and
best that could have occurred. To go
on further into an analysis of existing
conditions it may we'll besaid that Judge
Knowles is a candidate upon whom the
entire party in the territory can unite
without personal, sectional or f%actional
grievances to disturb the cordially Of
support; who has the vitality OF vigor-
| Gus mental manhood matured and tenn
pered by study, responsibility, and
! experience in public affairs; who is in
+ Tie HIGH IilEI iAEdiIbI pIy5i1ci NV IL
| is identified with Montana in all that he
is, he has, or hopes for; who has planted
his earthstone in her soil and sanctified
it with JOY and sorrow who can be
presented after many years Of eminent
public life without a blemish on his fair
record who is a republican from intelll-
gent comprehension Of and devotion to
the principles that party has espoused,
established and maintains; whose inter
est in Montana and her people is not
circumScribed by imaginary lines, by
OccuDation, age Or residence; VINO
knows by heartand has helped to make
much OF the history of Montana; who
is acquainted with her needs and des-
serts; who if elected will go into con-
gress and the departments with a
knowledge ofpublic affairs, disciplined
mind and habits eminently fitting him
to efficiently serve the people OF this
territory as their delegate. His selection
is logically correct Of [su5@ sIE-
We say these things ofJudge Knowles
not idly or carelessly. We know the
man whereof we write. He was our
first choice for delegate because of these
qualities so eminently commencing
him, and it is only fair they should be
expressed when among SO many worthy
competitors he was chosen as the stand
ard bearer. 1t is not necessary here to
recite his public career in Montana. It
is known to all. For nearly twelve
years he was associate justice Of the
supreme court of Montana, leaving the
impress of integrity and rare judicial
Judgment indelibly impressed upon the
records Of the Montana judiciary, and
voluntarily retiring therefrom to esume
the practice Of law. Personally he is a
imam of strong convictions and kindly
heart, outspoken and sincere, havingan
opinion on all things and adhering to
his position with resolute tenacity. He
is of Scotch, sea-faring ancestry, has a
liberal and collegiate education and his
practical turn Of mind has its compile
ments in fine literary tastes and acquire
ments. Methodic and industrious in
business pursuits, his higher devotion is
to home, the facilities of family and the
genial ties of friendship.-New North

THE RIVER PRESS.

FROM the mouth of Milk river to the
canyon is the finest agricultural land IN
Montana. Those people who have re-
Gently paid a visit to that locality are
loud in the praises Of the wonderful
richness of the soil. This portion OF
Montana was characterized as ian arid
DESERT by Gen. Hazen in a report upon
the u Of the country, published
a few years ago. It is now said to be
equal to the Red river valley in point OF
fertility. Everywhere that experiments
have been made the yield has been some
thing enormous. At Forts Belknap and
Assinaboine the raising Of vegetables
and grain has been marked witt great
success, and we have no doubt that in
the near future the quality of the grain
raised in this section will be fully equal
to that Of any other locality in the west.
Milk river has an abundance Of timber
for a number Of years. When that gives
out the Little Rocky and Bears Paw
mountains will furnish any quantity.
Between Milk river and the Cypress
hills are some Of the finest grazing lands
in Montana, and it will be only q few
months before the herds of overcroWded
ranges. in other sections will be driven
to these ranges. We predict a brilliant
future for the Milk river country.
