The Brinkman party on their returnI
from the mines a few days ago, killed
two antelope on the top of the Marias
hin. This is something %unsual, as for a
number of years antelope have been
pretty scarce in this section.
Robert Fenner and Joseph S%uprenant,
of Rntte. arrived in town YESTERDAY on
thpir way to the Little Rockies. They
are practical and experienced miners
and on their report many persons will
come this way. They report several
nartips now en- route to the mines.
Mr.. Z. G.. Dyer, proprietor Of the Al
bemarle, has sold his furniture and stock
TO Mr.. Jonas Higgins, who is erecting a
tbree-story brick hotel building at White
SULPHUR Springs. Mr.. Dyer will go to
the Springs to manage this new hotel
for Mr.. Higgins. His departure will be
universally regretted in Livingston
Livingston Enterprise.
There are are no new arrivals from
the mines to-day. The reports brought
in by those recently returned corrobo-
rate all the reports which have been re-
ceiyed. Practical miners have been
- ca., J;fro,oot ,nnptinnc of tho tnrri-
tory to make examination. It seems to
be the general idea above not to make q
general stampede until confirmation as
to the extent of the diggings is received,
when we may expect to see the country
full of miners. This fall will see the
mountains fully prospected, and practi-
cal and truthful reports will be sent to
all sections. That they will be favora-
bic we have no doubt, when the mining
interests of Choteau county will take a
boom and we will not be characterized
as the only county in the territory with
out mines. =
A man by the name of Nolan was in
town yesterday, preparing to go TO
the mines. He had evidently been
drinking and entered the Pacific saloon,
called for drinks for several persons who
were present and failed to pay for the
same. In the afternoon he returned
and attempted the same game. Mr..
Vincent refused to let him have the
drinks unless he paid for them frst.
Nolan became abuselve. lie was
ordered out of the place, but returned
and used vulgar and offensive language
to Mr.. Vincent who promptly Knocked
him down. The fellow got up and fol-
lowed Vincent who again doWned MN,
when Marshal Houk came along and
put both under arrest. Vincent was
permitted to go on his own recognIzance
and Nolan was taken to Jail. eThey
were arraigned in the police u this
morning. Vincent was discharged ana
Nolan fined thirteen dollars, when ne
paid.
A couple of gentlemen of this city,
who recently paid Il visit to the Little
Rockies, state that they located on
claim No. | below discovery, in Little
Alder. The claim had not been work
ed, nor was there any n present TO
represent it. Some parties who had To-
Gated above on discovery came down
and ordered them off, saying they We're
holding the claim for Pete Commit and
were prepared to enforce their order to
leave, if need be, by violence. me
gentlemen were not armed and vacated
the ground. La less than tw%enty-iour
hours after the ground was locaIed by
VIM. Shelton and no opposition offered.
No one blames Mr.. SHELTON IN the mar
ter, but the parties who had located pre-
viously assert that it was an outrage 10
drive them off as they had good Tlgnl
to the ground, as Commit had not Deer
on the premises since the 21st Of last
March. and the surrendering OF the
claim so soon after to Shelton gives Y
the appearance of a preeoncerted plan plan
to hold the ground for themselves. me
