NEW CHICAGO, May 1, 18S8.-Since my
departure from this place, seven years ago,
| bell eve New Chicago has not had CORE
spondent for your paper, so resume. There
| has been
| DECIDED IMPROVEMENT
| in the construction department of New Chi
cago in the last few years. Where once we
had our ssquarter stretch" church has been
built. A Jail has also been built, but as an
evidence of our law-abiding and sober lives,
it has never been considered necessary to
hang its doors or put in windows D. Ding
wall has erected fine two-story house, but
what he wants with it is PhCp bus. He has
been east for three months, will return this
| week, and will then probably enlighten us
in the premises.
| Miss Lutte Evans has been appointed
| principal of the Drum mond school. The
lady has been in charge of some of the best
schools in the county. She is energetic,
amiable, we'll qualified. and has given salts
faction wherever she has taught.
This has been
THE FINEST WINTER ON STOCK
ever known in the Flint Creek valley. The
loss will not approximate one-half of one
per cent. Stock raisers in this vicinity have
paid more attention to providing for their
cattle than to raising big herds, which is
eminently proper. l.. j. Hendrickson, after
feeding his cattle all winter, has hundred
tons of hay left. He has baled it and will
hold it until this fall. just now New Chi
cago is all
EXCITEMENT OVER THE DUNKLEBERG
MINES.
The Hatta was incorpora ted few weeks
ago. McPhail Bros, Dingwall Bros, R. NJ.
Ferguson, r. Conn, L. Hendrickson, Allan
Mcdonald and John H. Featherman are the
principal owners. If brains, money and en-.
terprise will avail, the Hatta will be the best
property in this county. The lowest assay
was upwards of one hundred ounces and the
highest 42O. 1t is down about 1oO feet. The
strata of ore runs from eight inches to three
feet.
The Forest Rose and other properties there
are showing up proportionately well.
Charlie Schott, an old Bear Towner, has
good interests in Dunkleberg. Charlie is
likely to wear diamonds yet.
Last week Capt. Plummer, of the Grauite,
and other interested parties were here look
ing for site for smelling and reduction
works. 1t is highly probable that such
works will be erected by them at or near the
mouth of Flint creek The water power
there is as good, if not the test, in the
county. Wood is plentiful, and its CONT
guousness to the main line of the n. P. r. r.
are evidently the reasons the company pro- |
pose building there.
Other buildings, such as residences, will |
60 up here this summer. Messrs John A. |
Featherman and Louie Hendrickson have |
brick in place ready to commence operations
at any time. In a few years I expect to see
New Chicago overshadow Anaconda, like
Mt. Powell does mushroom. Then that
division question will be agitated and pushed |
to consum nation.
POLITICAL CHAT.
1t is nearly time the festive candidate,
with his pockets full ef money and his mouth
full of promises, was showing up. Come
this way, boys. Rube Conn and Pete Fowler
have just got in four barrels Of Kentucky
Bonrbon, and two faucets in each barrel.
The Democrats want VIM Wallace for
County Commissioner next time. The Re-
publicans say Featherman, Morse or Ding
wall will do just as we'll. Jerry Mckay is
on a still hun for the Office of Coroner.
