She is highly p!eased with our city and
people.
The new Hotter block makes fine ap-
pearance. The cut stone front is very
striking. Mr.. Loberg has worked as hard
as any one il experimenting the build
ing of this spacious store.
Mr.. Watson, the Minneapolis capitalist,
has gone to Niehart, and expects to stay
in the mountains three or four weeks
operations and is likely to become a
heavy investor in the Belt mountain
region.
Mr.. P. II. Hurley has sold his half in
terest in the Tiger mine, Barker mining
district to Mr.. John NJ Connolly Of Mil
waukee, Wis. Mr.. G nnolly thus be-
comes sole owner Of this valuable prop
erty which makes one Of the hest show
ings in the camp. As Mr.. Connolly re-
sides so far away he would doubtless sell
the mine TO q company or individual who
would work it.
Captain Couch Of the Boston q Mon
tana is expected here today on his way to
his Sun river randh, The Boston & Mon
tana has announced dividend of ST. per
share and the stockholders are correspond
ingly happy. This makes 100000 paid
over to the stockholders in five
dividends. In addition to this 100000
has been held out Of Dividend No. 4 and
the same amount out Of dividend No. 8
to apply to the construction of the new
smelter. This dose not present the entire
profits, as there is handsome surplus on
hand
Mr.. A. E. =. Holmburg Of Hogan, is in
the city. His experience and success in
the sheep business may be Of interest to
some Of our readers. In 1877 Mr.. III.
began the sheep business with 5000. This
he judiciously invested III ewes. Today
he owns band of 1400 sheep, all paid
living for himself and wife, and paid
herder. This is only one of many ex-
amples Of what may be done by steady
work coupled with right knowledge.
Hon. j. G. Campbell, the extensive coal
operator Of Streator, ILL.,, left for his
home on today's Manitoba train, having
spent several weeks in Montana, looking
closely into the resources of the new
state. The past week he spent in the
Belt mountains aud returned with a very
favorable impression of that country. He
visited Neihart, Carpenter creek, Snow
creek, Clendenin and Wolf creek and
says he never saw district more prolific
in minerals. Mr.. Campbell thinks there
is great future for the Belt mountains
region and that it will yet be second
Butte. He also saw and examined vast
deposits of iron, which he thinks will be-
fore many years be an important factor in
the development Of Great Falls. What
surprised him as much as anything else
was to see splendid crops Of grain and
vegetables growing on the high bench
lands without any irrigation whatever.
Altogether he has formed u high opinion
of northern Montana and there is strong
likelihood that Nh. Campbell will before
long become one Of our citizens. We
would be glad to welcome him as such.
