IN THE BELT MOUNTAINS.

Flattering Reports from the 1sarker and
asihart Districts.
contract was let on Monday to Messrs.
Owens, Stevens & Weber to extend the In
gersoll tunnel 400 feet further. The con-
tract calls for 7x5 feet in the clear, and
they expect to run 100 feet per month.
When this work is completed the
tunnel will be 776 feet in length.
Another contract to sink the winze
IN the upper tunnel, to connect
with the lower, has been let. The Inger-
soil is improving each day, and the eager
ness which the miners who are working the
mine manifest in taking their pay in stock,
is certainly good sign that this property
has fine Indications. The rich strike of
ruby and wire silver still holds out and gives
no signs of pinchino. The recent assay of
Isl. 100 in gold and silver has set the Great
Falls stockholders wild, causing some of
them to pay the mine personal visit.
Barker is centrally located and lies upon
transportation, and is easily accessible and
is abundantly supplied with timber and
water for mining purposes.
I The Belt Mountain Mining company,
composed of Messrs. Lilly, Lessard, smith,
Wetzel and Others have group of claims
about so per cent. lead, and with about 500
tons of ore ON the dumps.
The Hopeful is owned by Oatcy, Hayes.
Dick Hughes and Donald Headrick, and is
showing up in good shape. The mine is
situated close to the May and Edna, of
which you have no doubt heard so much,
The Pride of the West mine is owned by
j. Z. Arlington, Pete May, Dick Oatey
and Louis Goslin. Considerable work has
been done in the shape of tunnels. shafts,
etc, and large bodies of ore exposed, vary
ing from IS to 1000 ounces in silver and
about SO per cent. in lead.
The Magnolia and st. Louis No. are
owned by NJ. C. Larkin. Louis Goslin and
James Mari, and is one of the most promis-
ing claims in the camp. They have had
them surveyed by Mr.. p. A. s. Bickel of
Helena, and intend to apply for patent
for the same.
The Silver Bell, lately owned by the Glen
denim Smelling company, has changed
hands and is now working three shifts, and
no doubt in the near future will employ
large number of men. In conjunction with |
this mine A. H. Ross is now fitting ~ |
large building to be used as boarding |
house.
The Barker mine is also working in full !
blast and under the guidance of Mr.. James |
Leslie is showing up we'll. The Paragon
Mining company are doing good work on |
their claims, employing about fifty men,
The May and Edna mines still continue
to improve, and with the advent Of the iron
horse will prove to be great benefit 10 this
camp.-Nelhart Herald.

Judge Hunt handed the governor yester-
day a statement showing the amount OF liti.
CATION in the district court of Lewis and
Clarke county. With the statement was a
letter giving the judges views on the sub
ject. These figures have been prepared fol
the governors use in making such recon-
mendations as he may see fit in his message
to the legislature, regarding the necessity
for some legislation creating second judy
ship in this county. The figures given be-
low show that the volume of litigation has
rapidly increased since the admission of the
state and it would also appear that it has
been more than one judge could dispose of.
In addition to this data, it is learned that
there have also been seventy-one new estate
cases filed for probate since November
8. 1889. As an evidence of the
growth Of litigation brief SUM-
mary was also submitted to the
governor. The summary shows that in the
year 1887, 800 OWL cases were commenced,

UNITED STATES COURT.

Holman Loses His Subtitle to Railroad
Land Settled.
The jury in the case Of David Holman
against tho Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany handed in their verdict yesterday
morning in the circuit court in favor of the
defendant. Holzman's suit was for the re-
covery of 5000 worth of goods destroyed
in warehouse at Merrill, on the line of the
road, in 1882. The jury by their verdict de-
cided that the railroad company, after
placing the goods in the warehouse. had
fulfilled its obligations as common car
rier, and its responsibility for the goods
ceased when the delivery was made.
The case of the same company against
Hall was on trial yesterday involving the
ownership of $50 acres OF land near Phil

The fact that the sheet mill department
Of the Wheeling Iron and Nail company
is closed down caused rumor to be
circulated yesterday that tho company
had refused to sign the Amalgama.ed
ecale, and would make q fight against it.
An 1NTELLlaENcER reporter called at
the company's office yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Q. K. Hubbard, the President OF the
company, as usual refused to be inter.
viewed or to say anything about the
matter. From other sources about the
place it was learned that the nail
factory is running in part and that there
is quite good deal Of repairing to be
done about the plant. In the
sheet mill several housing screws
are to be dressed, and new
pair Of muck shears, to cut sheet bars,
are to be put down. The company will
DO asked to sign tho scale, but the only
parts which affect it are the sheet mill
finishing scale and the puddle mill scale.
The Matchmaking scale has no bearing on
the case. II4i- s;fuTt NG.G.Itl

in authority said 30, it was generally IN.

THE ClGAR.AlAKERS' DEMAND

May Cause Loss to tho Manufacturers Whs
I. Hive Sold Thor Product Ahead.
Yesterday morning the shop director
in each cigar factory in the city where
hand.rolled stogies arc made. notified
the proprietor that after July 81 m ad-
vance Of 25 cents thousand would DO
expected on all handmade stogles,
as was announced exclusively Ia
yesterdays 1NTrLLloENcER. Nearly
all the manufacturers had heard
OF the proposed advance and were more
or less prepared for 1t, although It
caught nearly all with more cigars sold
than can be made before the demand
goes into effect. 81 9 3 "a
Several manufacturers express their
intention OF granting the demand, and
mono Of them said positively that 1t
would not DO granted. The cigar manu-.
iacturers have no organization, and no
organized action could OF course DO
taken. Several OF them got together,
however, and discussed the matter In.
formally. The demand probably will
work hardship on some manu-.
facturers II 1t Is enforced, because
the time Ia 40 short. Quite a
number Of them have cigars sold which
must be made and delivered after, the
time the demand goes into o.
feet. The margin on stogies,
owing to tho outside and non
union competition, is quite small and
these manufacturers, by being compelled
to make stogies atan advanced rate and
sell them ut price made when the rate
was lower, may suller losses. ~ I
ltwas said last night that a meeting o.
manufacturers will be held for the pur.
pose Of asking the Union to appoint q
conference committee, with the view o.
postponing the demand until such .
time as all orders now on hand are
filled. There aro not nearly enough
cigar. makers in the city now to supply
the demand, and manufacturers Gre
hiring every man who applies or who
can be had. ~.i4"-g ,7
