From the present indications every
thing points favorably to tho selection of
the Big Hole valley as the sight upon
which the Boston & Montana company
will construct it's new slmelter. A party
was out recently surveying the country
from the Big Hole river to point near
Wunderlich's for the construction of
water bitches. Other places have also
been talked of, but the Big Hole valley
presents the most suitable location, being
well supplied with water, and it is the
general belief that this company will de-
eide in building the plant down there as
suggested by the Inter Mountain some
time agO-Inter MOuntaic.
a pretty good mining district is being
opened up upon the headwaters of Wolf
creek. Besides the silver bearing leads
which are there some of which are being
developed and showing good silver bear
ing ore in quantities sufficient to justify
shipping. placer diggings are being worked
with very good results. The placers were
discovered by John Risner few months
ago, who happened to pan in the right
place. Finding prospect, he set sluices
and has been taking out wages right
along. The gulch has been named Sue
cor" and it has located for some distance
above and below the discovery. The
channel is about thirty feet wide and is
heavy wash with many large boul-
ders. One shaft below the discovery
reached bed rock at twenty feet. There
is a good supply Of water and the claim

Butte who had two horses which they
wished to trade. The VOLTS took par
ticular notice of the beasts and pro-
nounced them to be the horses stolen
from McClain. These Indians also an

of the Indians and squaw who he claimed
murdered his partner, Rombough, near
Mineral Point week before last. Sheriff
Heyfron has been out several days with d
posse OF eight deputies in search of the
Indians, and the man Jaquette, and his
whereabouts are not now known. Deputy
Sheriff Baucus has telegraphed to Idaho
authorities to look out for the Indians
and is trying to secure horses to organize
a posse to go up to Lou Lou on the trail
of the fugitives. Word has been sent to
the sheriff to head for Bald Butte and it
is hoped the red devils will be captured
