Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1885-10-03
NIEHARY NOTES
Penned by the Tribune's Traveller.

Going to Neihart | took occasion to
| travel the new road from Great Falls, and
found it to be well defined and very prac-
teal, and with a little work will make a
very good road to travel, and one that
shortens the distance materially between
the two places.
Neihart is a very picturesque place for
a town and will certainly in the near fu-
ture make quite a lively mining camp, as
there are some very rich mines situated
in the district.
The people of Neihart are watching
very anxiously the progress of Great Falls,
well knowing that the interests and fu
ture prospects Of both places are identical.
The two places must go hand in hand, for
what will be to the advantage of one
will always help the other.
Neihart is situated in a narrow valley,
the mountains rising above the town on
all sides, and are thickly studded
with mines and prospect holes
and all that they lack, in order
to make them pay large dividends to their
owners, is cheap transportation. The
richness and extent of the districts lying
around Neihart is bound to attract a rail
road to this point in the very near future.
The mines Of the Broadwater syndicate
are near the top of the mountain on the
north side Of the town, and look down up
Oh it. Operations on these mines have
been stopped for the winter and Mr.. Jas.
Wells placed in charge.
The Hudson Mining company are now
rushing the work on their smelter and ex-
pect to be running soon after the first of
the month. They have a force of men
on their mine, the montana Chief and
it is showing up in fine shape. They have
a seventeen-foot vein of very fine ore.
This company will, when they commence
to run their smelter, employ about 1870
men in the mines and in the smelter, and
this will give quite An impetus to the
camp.
While in Neihart | found it rather dull
on account of a great many having gone
to White Sulphur Springs to court.
The mines in the Carpenter and Snow
creek districts are showing up finely, and
mine owner on these creeks are very COM
tident that their districts will take TIL
lead in that REGION !
There is now one store and three sa-
looms at Neihart and all seem to be en-
joying agood trade. Mr.. Hussy, the pro-
everything that is needed by the trade.
I understand that there will shortly be
another store of general merchandise
opened this fall, and that Spencer, Main |
81 Hoffman are contemplating establish
ing here a branch of their White Sulphur
Springs house.
Neihart has been started very well and
has some nice looking buildings. The
people here labor under a disadvantage
in building up their town-in that the
town is not plated and householders can
not acquire a title to the ground-but not
outstanding this drawback there is con-
siderable building going on. The towns
people say that Neihart will make a sec
ond Butte before many years, and it GER
tainly has many advantages that will help
to make it a large place.
A road has peer contemplated from
Neihart to Great Falls down Belt creek
and will, if carried out, shorten the dis
lance considerably. Viewers have exam
ined the route and reported that the cost
would be about $1,000.
There is but one public eating house
in Neihart and that is run in tirst-class
shape by three very white-Chinamen.
Mr.. -- and Mr.. Phil Burns are both
prepared to lodge the weary traveller for
the night. RAMBLER.
