republican committee after Il visit to In
diana and New York, came home with
words of encouragement and cheer for
the republicans of this territory as to the
political outlook. He considers New
York absolutely safe for Harrison and

who are said to control the vote of that
city: '.With its twenty five thousand in

west, and, when It is invoked. as it will
be, unless something is done by the courts,
the sure thing gang will know just what
Justice means. Let them beware

party and that a change will be made to
a daily or tri-weekly. The stock bust
ness, the former feature of the paper, will
be gradually dropped. From the present

understood to be $4,000. The new pro-
prie.ors take possession at once.

the occurrence: The action of the par

the townsite of Philipsburg, together with
a fraction of a couple of our outlying adj

emphatic condemnation of all our honor
able and more intelligent citizens The
1imsy pretense of discovery upon which
the claim was based is of itself a matter
Of general ridicule and derision and car

intent of the parties concerned as to their
motive in locating it, by indicating that

secured.
Lewistown Argus: Ed De Frate has
returned from the Dry Wolf gold dig
gings He is not wild over the region,
but is of the opinion that there is good,
rich ground IN the gulch, though difficult
to work, owing to tie distance to bed
rock and its undulating nature The
company at work there is about ready to
attach hydraulics and commence sluicing.
It is claimed the ground will go from 25
