A Newsy Letter From Horr.
EDITOR ENTERPRISE: This little burg
is moving along in quiet way, slowly
but surely gaining ground in the manu-
facture of coke and production of coal.
The machinery for the coal washer
now being built by H. F. Brown for the
company will soon arrive, the engine be-
ing already on the ground This washer
will have capacity of 80 tons in ten
hours and will enable the company to
prepare the coal at a trifing cost. Work
on the remaining eighteen ovens will be
resumed in few days, or as soon as a
carload Of material now due is on the
ground. About fifty men are at present
employed in the mines and at the ovens
and there is employment for more. Mr..
McFadyn, who has been acting as gen.
eral manager for the past month will
return east in a few days, and it is not
known as yet who his successor will be.
The gentleman has won the esteem Of
all who know him and his departure
will be source of regret to all.
Miss Minnie Kellogg will close sue
cessful three months term of school
next week and will begin another term
at once. The district has over sixty
children under q years of age, so the
lady has abundant material on which to
work. Mrs. Eva NJ. Hunter, county su-
perintendent, lately visited the school
and paid our school nam" a high COM
pliment by calling her a natural teacher,
or one who had her heart in the work
and was by nature adapted to the pro-
fession.
Miss Blake, candidate for county su.
perintendent of schools, also paid US a
visit last week, and while we were all
charmed by her vivacity and "chic" the
picture of the dark haired lady. 50 nobly
working for the three fatherless girls,
came up in bold relief, and think the
widow and her children will get there.
as far as this camp is concerned.
Several years ago George Reese sold
his ranch on Reese creek, near Cinnibar,
and moved about mile up the creek
towards Electric peak. Here, by years Of
hard toll, he made snug little home,
but having exhausted his homestead
and pre-emption rights he could get no
title to the land. Lately Chas. Arnold
located the land and has served legal
notice on Mr.. Reese to move his i'm
provements and he must pull up stakes
and go. Yesterday Mr.. Reese repur-
chased his old ranch and will move back
in a few days. He regrets ever leaving
it and is glad to get home once.more.
Major Joseph L. Horr, who is we'll
known for many deed of daring in the
times that try mems souls, is visiting
his old stamping ground once moro.
The major was at Fort Ellis for several
years in the COS, and in '84 opened up
the Horr coal mines and laid the foun.
dation for the present business. Those
who knew the Major while at the fort
will see that the years have thinned his
locks and touched his flowing beard;
with frost, but his erect form is as SOL
dierly as ever and his eye hasthe same
fire and his heart the same daring that
sent him from Fort Ellis to Shields
river in three hours in pursuit OF mur-
derous Indians when only nine men in
his command succeeded in keeping in
sight. The Major now lives quiet,
happy life in Dubuque, Iowa, and fOY
the past two years has been engaged in
writing history of the gallant Thir-
teenth, Sherman's pet regiment. This
work will be the crowning effort of
busy life and will be loyal to the memory
of old comrades, and replete with the
stirring Incidents of the war and Of the
border life of quarter Of a century
ago.
Geo. Welcome has spread his wings
and flown from Gardiner and has lit in
Hotr, to the end that I'VE uns'' may
have all the ardent we want.
This precinct has registered % votes
and will give a handsome majority for
the republican ticket. We have had
numerous hand shakers up here, but
not a speech, not even by the candidate
for governor, who stayed with us for
several days. Wonder why some one
don't come up and soar the eagle little.
Our menagerie, consisting of two pet
bears, two elk, mountain sheep and q
goat, to say noting OF litter of long leg
ged greyhound pups, is doing we'll, 50
are the babies and SO are We all.
You Bet.
