BoULDER, M. T., July 2O.-ECorrespond
ence OF The Miner. 1.-The Boulder Hot
springs for the past three weeks have beer
doing an unusually heavy business and tht
demand for accommodations still far ex
ceeds Landlord Trotter's most strenuous
efforts to comply with. The location o.
these springs is said to be the most beau
tiful OF any OF Montana's many similar re-
sorts, and in medicinal properties the
waters are par excellence the most valu
able in the territory. The facilities for the
entertainment OF guests are, however
sadly deficient, and the springs will fail oi
their deserved popularity until consider.
able money is expended in the proper
adornment Of buildings and grounds.
In this connection it is said that Helena
real estate men are endeavoring to secure
control OF the upper springs" the title oi
which is now the basis Of litigation between
A. G. Quaintance, proprietor OF the Boulder
springs, and Thomas Basye and Charles
Howard, who claim pre-emption right to
that part OF the property. Mr.. Lockey,
the well-known real estate dealer OF Hell
ena, is representing the Helena end OF the
deal. s.

It is whispered the visit to Boulder OF
Delegate Carter. lest week, in connection
with other political work, had in view q
probable change in the postoffice at Boul-
der. A petition universally signed by citi-
gems OF all political parties was submitted,

For little event nothing has transpirsd
here in long time which has occasioned
30 much surprise, as the rather hasty fight
from the city, last Friday morning. OF Gen.
eral Sam Robertson, the distinguished edi-
tor Of the Boulder Sentinel. The general, it
must be understood, did not skip" in the
accepted meaning Of the word, but has
found it convenient to absent himself q
short time until the storm which is hanging
over his devoted head shall have blown
away. Sam is in trouble, and serious
trouble at that. In the last issue OF the
Sentinel he roasted Mr.. Quaintance
most numerically, the roastee re-
sented the editorial prerogative and at
once went on the war path with the portly
form of the Sentinel editor as the particu-
lar object which doomed up athwart the
trail. When he arrived at the office the
editor, however, was not there. A Mou-
tana Central train passes through here
every morning for Butte, and this little
fact Mr.. Quaintance had overlooked, but
not 80 Sam, and he was we'll on the way to
the Silver City, softly hummipg. Nobody
knows what have suffered; nobody cares
but Jesus" while Quaintance could do
nothing but paw the air and hurl maledic-
tions after the fleeing scribe. If Sam is in
your city treat him well and protect him
from all revengeful b. springs men.
