Tom Covers Fate.

Thomas w. Cover was one of the
pioneers of Gallatin county and Mon
tana, and was for many years a resi-
dent of Bozeman. He was the sole
companion of John Bozeman when in
1867 that brave pioneer was killed by
Indians a few miles east of Livingston.
Mr.. Cover himself suffered a slight
wound at the time, but escaped death
and carried the news of Bozeman's
death to the people of the town that
bears his name. Now it appears that
he has himself met a sad fate. OF
late years he has been living in south
em California with his family, A few
weeks ago he went with another mar
on a prospecting tour on the Colorado
desert. The two men separated and
agreed to meet again at a certain rem
devious. Cover at last accounts had
never been cen again. His COM
panion returned and organized a party
search for him and the result is not
known. 1t is thought improbable
that he will be found alive, as he had

Hydr0genium.

A curious fact about water is that it
is the Isl of the metal known as n.y.
drogenium. When oxygen combines
with iron it forms a reddish rust, and
the metal becomes in time disintegra-
ted. In this condition it is said to be
oxidized. Now, water is simply Grid
lied hydrogeRium. The metal is pres
ent in the sun and all the planets in
enormous quantities. Indeed, it is said
that the human body is composed of
5H pals OF water, mingled with some
lime, iron, and certain salts. Chem
lstry has revealed to us many marvels,
but none greater than the composition
of common water.

Facts about the Little Rocky PIaoers.

FdCtS ABOUT the Little hocky PtaCerS.
As many of our readers here have
undoubtedly observed, since the dis
covery of placer diggings in the Little
Rocky mountains, the ARGUS has en-
deavOred to give unexaggerated reports
of the value of the diggings as we'll
as permanency thereof. While other
papers, nearly as close to the diggings
as this, have given publicity to every
report that reached them, and lauded
and doomed the new Eldorado with all
their power, We have presented moth
ing but facts, to the end that Eastern
Montana might be spared the terrible
ordeal suffered by the west, in the
collapse of the now famous and ae-
cursed Occur d'Alene diggings.
The people of to-day, particularly of
the west, look to the newspapers for
reliable information pertaining to sub
Jects of general interest, and, we are
sorry to say, too often find and digest
buncombe-boom-slush that the aver
age editor, with a thought to the we'll
fare of his readers, would hesitate to
publish with his endorsement-causing,
as conspicuously demonstrated by the
last, and We trust, the final gold fever"
IN Montana, severe suffering and our
fair land over-run with "tramps,'made
so by misrepresentation of facts through
the agency of the press. s
That gold exists, and in paying guam
tites, in the Little Rocky mountains, I
there is no question, and so we have
claimed from the first; yet we have =
failed to learn of anyone of the many J
practical miners who have been there .
and worked in the various gulches, l
carrying "colors" of any exceptionally v
rich finds, or wen of anything superior =
to the majority of placer diggings in
Montana. Willard Dunton, well known
through Meagher county and eastern
Montana, as a practical miner and a
whose "say So" will do to bet on, $
has just returned from these diggings, p
where he spent the greater part of the t,
summer, and in n conversation with an :
reporter, stated:
LIST. That in Little Rocky Gulch, thus s
the claims worked have paid on an -
average of $40 per day to the man. Ia
I'd. That the water supply is very Al
limited, in fact inadequate for placer :,
in a proper manner. M
Sd. That the permanency of the :
can only be determined by
development of the deep claims.
Should they prove rich a stampede will
warranted, while in the meantime it :"
would be folly to leave employment az
or the chances there. on
In the early part of the coming in
ipring some definite idea of the extent Sc
md value of the diggings can be had. &
Even then statements will conflict as =
he prosperity or failure of the camp
nay affect different points. To go
here on the booming of papers in a
vitality interested in the region To-
AIMED would be folly. The only reli- br
BILE information to be gained is through VII
experienced miners of known veracity, sb
nd from such only will we quote.
We are anxious that the Little Rocky
should prove the richest in =
ne territory, yet we are equally as
nxious to save gold seekers from join T.
