Death of Mrs. o. 81. Holt,

Death of Mrs. o. ii. Holt.
The death of Mrs. Oliver H. Holt, while
visiting in Grand Forks, is as sad as it is
unexpected. She died at the residence of
Secretary Mccormack at 8o'clock Thurs
day evening. So sudden was her illness
and so swift its fatal termination that her
husband, in response to telegraphic mes
sage, reached her bedside only the day be.
fore she died. She was out on Monday and
consulted physician at his Office. Return
ing, she went to bed and never got up
again. Last Saturday while down town
she was taken with chill, but she did not
regard it as serious matter. Several days
before she had caught cold, but there
was nothing in its severity to excite any
alarm. 1t is evident, however, that she
was worse than anyone supposed and her
constitution was too frail to withstand a
sudden and severe attack of peritonitis
that ended her life. She was stopping at
the residence OF Secretary Mccormack and
was surrounded by every comfort and re-
ceived every attention that kindness could
suggest. Nothing was wanting in nursing
and medical skill.
Mrs. Holt was about "a years of
age. She was born in New York state
near Buffalo, where her father, a brother
OF Ex-Governor Pierce, now lives and does
business as banker. AS all Bismarck
knows Mrs. Holt had wonderfully sweet
alto voice-having few equals in Dakota.
Before she came to Bismarck, the fall Of
1884 when her uncle became governor, she
was resident of Buffalo and was one Of
the noted choir singers of that city. In
many other directions she was an accom-
plished lady and probably no member of
her wide circle of friends would be more
missed. Although with kind friends, her
immmediate relatives, excepting her hus-
band, were from her and many of them did
not know she was sick until the death
message reached them. Her parents were
in New York: Governor Pierce was on the
stump in central New York; Mrs. Cover
nor Pierce and Mrs. Haight in Minneapolis
and Mr.. and Mrs. Gerald Pierce in Bis
marck. Her remains will be taken direct
to New York for burial.

Good Wheat.

jamestown Alert: John Russell, the
miller and banker, was in the city to-day.
He says the best wheat they get comes
from Melville, Sykeston and around Car
rington. A strip of country through there
yields the best of any in the vicinity. At
North Dakota elevator has been closed, the
agent going to Oakes for the season. Mr..
Russell thinks that Steele, Dak., will be
the point where the most good wheat will
be marketed. There are also 1000 acres in
Logan county said to be mostly No 1.
This comes to Steele for shipment. Accord.
ing to the opinion of this veteran miller
and wheat buyer "wheat is going to bring
good prices for the next two or three years."

Rogue.

She has entered the bloom of the valley of rest,
She has knelt by the waters of Lethe, the blest,
She walks where the day is fair;
She has slipped from the toll, and the dust and
the heat,
She has followed the dawning with gladsomest
feet,
Her soul will wait for me there.
1 will watch for her face in the church, on the
street,
I will long for the sound of her voice, softly,
sweet,
That voice with its tender chime:
1 will miss her, and mourn her with all her
bright ways,
I will treasure her name through the sorrowful
days.
will clasp her again. sometime.
She has taken one more of my. joys from the
strife, ...
She has added one more to the burdens of life.
Hearts crush under Deaths stern tread,
But her spirit will shine on my way like star.
shall see her and call her and follow afar,
My soul will be.upward led.

The water has

scene of activity. The water has
been pumped out and Mr.. Leech,
the superintendent, is preparing not
only to sink the main shaft 100
feet deeper. but at the same time to
get out the big bodies of ore in
sight, on the present level. All of
the machinery has been thoroughly
overhauled and repaired, several
hundred feet of new track rail put
on the ground, and contracts made
for a years supply of wood, char
coal and timbers. Many altera-
tons AMI improvements have been
made about the shaft house and
shops, and the indications are that
the old time activity of this camp
will soon again exist. The tunnel
being run ON the lode through the
1900 feet of virgin ground, on the
Sinker claim, is now in $50 feet
and on a nearly three foot vein over
$50 ore, with a very rich chute ex-
pected Is feet further in, the ore
being very rich in surface prospect
holes at that distance from the pres
ent face of the tunnel. Mr.. Leech
is expecting big results from the
use of new patent diamond drill
which he will soon have at work in
the mine. This drill, invented by
E. L. Sharpneck, of Denver, in
practical tests, bores one foot
through solid granite in four min
utes, and is run by rotary engine
weighing only Al pounds.

THE CITY OF SILVER.

A ''Strike" on Reynolds Indian Scare
Miners Arrested-A Summer Re.
sOrt-The Great Orc Fine.
Special Correspondence to THE TRIBUNE.
Rumors have come to Silver of a
rich strike near "the Democrat"
on the head of Reynolds Creek /;
but old miners who have known of
quartz existing there, put but little
credence in the reports.
The water has all been pumped
out of the Owyhee mine and an
examination of the ore by the sup
erintendent has convinced him that
there is lots of pay in it. Work on
it will now be pushed.
Rumors from the Indian scare at
the jumpers and Bruneaus have
set all the old residents talking
about the Indian troubles of ten
years ago. A skull in the Idaho
Hotel cabinet is a trophy of that
trouble. Many young bucks have
grown up since that raid, and the
impression is out that they are itch
ing for a taste of warfare.
Some miners were placed under
arrest here this week under the
complaint that they had committed
perjury, in swearing to assessment
work being done on their claims.
They have been good citizens and
malice has probably been at the
bottom of this complaint. 1t how
ever touches a subject where a too
general laxity of ideas of strict
truthfulness prevail.
It is source of wonder to the
writer why the Caldwell and
Nampa people do not discover
what a splendid summer resort
Silver City is, and occasionally fly |
from the heat and dust of the val
ley to enjoy the delightful change,
The lovely climate, pure water and
grand scenery to be found in these
picturesque mountains. We live
nigh up here, and think life worth
living. Sage hens are beginning to

about fifty couple participating.
The Caldwell boys were completely
captivated by the irresistible
beauty and grace of the Boise la

seemed to thoroughly enjoy the at
tentions of the gallant gentlemen
from the capital. A lunch was
served about midnight, after which
dancing was resumed until 3
o'clock in the morning, when the
guests departed for home amidst
three rousing cheers. The people
of Caldwell appreciate Boise City's
compliment and will not forget to
return it at some future time.
