Fergus County argus., 1892-10-06

f. r. Carroll, the Yogo mining operator,
is in town. He reports that camp looking
well. but a little quiet at present.
Aswill be seen elsewhere, Edward Brassey
has been placed on the Republican ticket
as a candidate for public administrator.
Mr.. Brassey is well qualified for the place
and will make a good officer.
The concert and festival given by the NJ
F. society last Friday night was success
in everyway. The programme for the con-
cert was fully carried out; all the selections
we're agreeably rendered. The Instrumental
solo by Miss Edwards was so loudly en-
cored as to illicit a response, as were the
vocal solo by Miss Bach and the duet by
Messrs. Hawk and Leard. The juvenile
band was at it's best and rendered some
pleasing selections, which received due
praise and appreciation. After the concert
ice cream, cake, coffee and watermelon
were served in the dining hall. The net
profits we're about S12Oand will be applied
to improving the church property
few days since there was a meeting in
Maiden of the former friends and sup
porters OF Noble to consider his candidacy.
| II was resolved to send n delegation down
| here to wait upon Mr.. Noble, and II posi-
| BILE get him to withdraw as an independent
candidate. The committee, consisting oil
| Charles Ridell and Il. +. Pott, reached town
Saturday evening and on Sunday inter
| viewed Mr.. Noble. The committee were
unable to do anything with the self nomi-
| ta1 anai 70 nd returned tn Maiden
| to report. Those who were formerly his
supporters are now completely disgusted
with him and fully believe that Nobleis Is OBJ
lired to run for reasons best known to him
self Maiden will salivate him on Noyem-
ber Sth.
| Prof. o. c. Morrison writes as follows
from Maiden: ''The collection from Maiden
and Cone Butte for the World is Fair is now
practically completed. Itcomprises about
4, 900 pounds OF specimens from forty OF
the principal mining properties, and L
| think is very periet' and complete, and is
| without question, SO far, unexcelled in any
| mining district in the state. The miners
and mine owners have responded literally
| in aiding my efforts. Some idea OF the
richness of the collection may be gained
| when | state the silver specimens range in
| whine from so ounces to ii 900 ounces to
the ton, and the gold ones (many OF which
are of large size) from $3.50 to $4,000 to
the ton. Some new combinations OF min
| erals have been found, and at least one
undetermined mineral (most probably
| uranium). As some OF the specimens pre-
sent new features in appearance, this num-
perhaps may be increased. A fine assort-
| meut is promised from the North Noccasin
which will be collected at the end of the
week.
! Owing to the illness OF Hon. Charles S.
Hartman, Republican candidate for con-
gress, it is not probable that he will visit
| Fergus county during the campaign. In
| letter to a friend here he says: II am just
recovering from a serious spell OF sickness
| and have not been prompt in replying.
would like very much to make another trip
through Fergus county, but | am afraid |
will not be able to reach that county this
year. 1t is needless for me to assure you
| that my failure to come to Fergus county,
| if ! do fail, is attributable only to my
health / have notified the committee
| that / would not be able to enter the can
vass before the Sth goth OF October,
and while it is not my idea OF a campaign
by any means, | am compelled to measure
my campaign by my strength. / am very
| much afraid that if / attempt to go of
from the railroad that will be compelled
to abandon the campaign entirely. hope
Fergus county will keep up her reputation
as a Republican county and roll up an in
creased majority for the ticket this fall"
Republicans generally throughout the
| county will regret that circumstances pre-
vent Mr.. Hartman from visiting this
county. He is a magnetic orator and "A
man v no makes friends everywhere he goes.
He is held in the highest regard in Gallatin
county by of all parties Though
sickness prevents him from visiting us, let
every Republican and even Democrats re-
member him on election day. He will never
finch in his loyalty to Montana's interests
| If elected to congress.
