TO DEVELOP THE OVERLAND.

Gold Property Near the City, on Which
Work Will Begin Imm
A gold district, ten miles east of Helena,
which once attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, but which has lain idle for several
years, is about to nave new life infused
into it. Msssts. Esler, Hauser and Eddy,
the largest holders in the Overland Mining
company, owning the Overland mine. have
completed arrangements for developing the
property. and will begin work Immediately
with q force of men. There is a ten-stamp
mill on the ground, and Judge Eddy be-
lieves there will be some profit in the enter
prise from the start. The beginning Of
work on the Overland will undoubtedly re-
suit in something being done on other To-
cations in the same district. Among the
we'll. known properties there that have pro-
duced good ore in the past are the Hol-
brook and the Bonanza Chief.

and are in fair way Of still doing further
damage.

of individuals here in the east, for various
reasons, have a very kindly feeling for

spirit manifested by her early settlers in

God-given rights, and which battles
were the opening ones that event
