HAWKINS tssrRIKE."

AS rule, we are desirous of encourag-
ing any attempt made by corporations or
individuals to open up and add value to
the mining resources Of this camp, and
when we know of any who are doing 80
in an honest and sincere manner we will
continue to do SO; but right here we feel
obliged, as duty the press owes to the
public, to state some facts regarding the
so-called Hawkins strike in the Mystery
tunnel. It is we'll known by everybody
who has lived IN this vicinity for any
period of time, that t. n. Freeman has
for the past twelve or fifteen years been
digging on this claim and the Wander
bilt, and that he has done so earnestly
and with a determined idea that they
contain rich lodges. No one can doubt
but that Mr.. Freeman is an earnest
worker. Recently he transferred his
property to person known as Col. Haw-
kins, who first made himself conspicuous
in our midst by holding temperance
meetings and getting trusted wherever
he could. CTHE NAIL being among the
number}, and has since shown no dispo-
sitior to iquidate. Immediately after
he became engaged IN the mining indus
try, a big strike was reported in the Mys-
terry tunnel, and samples of ore have
been displayed, said to contain al the
way from 80 to 240 ounces Of silver. It
seems that Col. Hawkins can find this
rich ore without any trouble whatever,
while Mr.. Freeman has been in search OF
it for years, and from the fact that there
has been but little development work
done since the colonel took possession,
with the exception Of q very few days
when be employed number of men, who
resigned when they learned that they
would receive nothing but promises for
their labors), it does Seem a little inn
probable that such wonderful changes
could have taken place. There must

It was expected that the company
would be able at the recent meeting Of
the stockholders to raise sufficient money
on the machinery to continue develop
ments, but it was found impossible to do
SO. The pool cn the stock has expired
and stock has been issued the several
holders, quotations Of which will be
found IN another ou1u1un. Further eI-

Montana rather than to consider what
had been done in the tilted lines of Hope
hill.
While it is not possible to submit, in
this paper, or any other. the result of
mine and mill working of the Hope COM
pany, in Montana, during the period of
its existence, still a glance at the pub
lished statement of it's working for 1887
will convey an idea of the nature and i'm
pertance of its operations in this district,
in later years, and it is safe to say that
the report of '08 but emphasizes the con-
clusions of conservative mining men that
the Hope company is now enjoying the
days Of prosperity. It should be stated
that the company does not publish re-
ports OF it's affairs in Montana other than
for the information of the stockholders.
It is now, as it has always been, a close
conservative corporation whose officers
are not supposed to crafty public curio-
sity, OR, in anyway, disclose the business
affairs entrusted to tn cir care and keep
ing. In considering the statement Of
1887 would state that it was as near
as the writer could get to the workings
of 1883.
Exhibit "F," Of the annual statement
referred to, gives the following results
for the company's fiscal year, commeno-
ing October l, 1886, and ending Decem-
ber l, 1887; Tons of ore mined. 1920;
cost of mining Qncluding hauling) per

191 bars of bullion, valued at $258,02
35; cost of extraction and reduction, sup
plies, etc, etc, $l75,924.77. It will thus
be seen that wise and economic adj
ministration of the company's affairs in
Montana for the year ending December

In conclusion it should be measure of
to those interested III the

It is not only the interest but the duty
of every honest citizen to encourage in
corporation for our town. We need it
and must have it sooner or later, and the
earlier it is procured the better it will be
for all. Last year an attempt was made
but resulted in complete failure, owing
to the fact that number of our citizens
thought the time then not ripe for it;
now those same parties assert wiling
ness to assist, and claim that it should at
once be done. The thing to be done
now is for some influential citizen to
start the ball rolling and there is but
little doubt of it's success.

Court Ree0r1.

During the present term Of xrrt at
Deer Lodge there were eighteen persons
indicted. Out Of this number twelve
we're convicted, one acquitted, two not
apprehended, and three went over for the
term. Aside from this, there were TIVE
convictions made from cases continued
from last term. Rose Bennett, who mur
dered Frank P. Gravers, at Anaconda,
was sentenced to twelve years in the pen
atentlary. Peter A. johnson, for the kill
ing OF John L. Larsen, at Anaconda, was
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. James Campbell was found guilty
OF assault and attempt to murder Theo.
Milroy. In the last three cases there
are motions for new trials, to be heard
Friday, May 8.
In the case of the territory Of Montaua
vs.. Thos. Dean for burglarizing the resi-
dence OF Duncan Campbell, he was found
guilty and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary.
George Peters, for stealing an express
package from the Pacific express COM
pany, containing $3.50, was sent up for
one year.
Robert T. Lavell was indicted but
could not be found, as he had left the
country. He, however, left $3.50, in cash,
to aid in defraying the expense of con-
victing Others.
Jessie Stewart, for assaulting Belle
Watson with dangerous weapon with
intent to kill, was sentenced to four
years imprisonment.
Frank Elliot, who did the shooting at
Elliston last October, was sent up for
one year.
G. V. Thirty, who forged the name of
Frank G. Brown on check, went up for
a year.
Jones and Phelps, who burglarized a
house in Anaconda, got one year each.
Several other minor cases were tried.
Nearly the entire term was devoted to
criminal business, as our terms probably
will be until the territory becomes
state; but it is source of qualification
that most all of them were convicted.
1t is to be hoped that so many convic-
tons will lead to the prevention OF other
crimes in the future. This term was not
an exception in Deer Lodge county's
reputation for its good jurors. They had
a grand jury that showed good Judgment
in finding indictments, and petit jury
that never have been e1celled in doing
their duty fearlessly.

Cooke City Notes.

j. F. Fox. of Granite, returned from a
pleasant trip to the National Park and
that great future city-Cooke relates
some interesting stories in the mininr
ana local world from that section:
Snow is not now to be seen in the
park. One day last week I ran across
one of the largest herds Of elk ever
known to the pioneer of the west I dld
not attempt to count over 5000, for I
was on my way to Cooke. There found
the camp booming, as it were: real es-
tate on the advance and many old timers
returning to the prospects. During my
stay visited several mineral lodes, the
more important ones being the Alice f.
Morning Star, Wisconsin and the Elk
horn, all situated on Henderson Noun
tain, about mile from the city in q
northeasterly direction. The Alice E is
a gold-bearing quartz claim, with 3O0-
foot tunnel, and shafts IN opposite direc-
tions, varying in depth from 100 to 200
feet. This property was purchased last
fall by the Blackheart Bros. for CON-
sideration of $27,500, who will imme-
diately proceed to erect a mill, when
better profits may be realized. The re-
naming lodes are excellent properties
and together with host of undeveloped
claims Cooke City may yet, If not soon,
lift her lofty head in praise of future
greatness and metropolitan renown.
Truthfully Yours, ]. F. Fox.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The money market
settled down to-day with exasperating slowness
but had not more influence than during the past
few days. The stock market was decidedly weak
throughout the entire session. The fear of
further gold shipments, engendered by the fact
down to 1873 per cent against AZ. Is per cent last
week, was one of the principal causes Of the
weakness. The market opened with steady
tone but the bears got to work Immediately
and the pressure was again specially severe
against Atchison for no particular reason. As
the day wore along the pressure extended TO the
entire active list. The market closed active
and weak, At the lowest prices OF the day.
Almost everything on the list is lower. Cotton
