The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1892-05-06

Some very fine specimens of ore from
the Hartley mine, at Neihart, were
brought in last week by Carter Barker.
The ore is white quartz rock with masses
of fine wire silver in it and was encount-
cred in the shaft at a depth of $50 feet.
A syndicate composed of E. G. Maclay,
X. S. Ford and others have a bond on
the mine for $4,000 and have been
spending about $1,000 in developing the
property. 1t is showing up in a very
encouraging manner.-Leadcr.
Enterprise was shown by the manner
in which the new school house was erect
ed in school district No. 81. Work was
commenced III April 90 and the build
ing is now completed and school began.
Heretofore school was held at Joycc's
ranch. The new building is 1Gx24 feet
and has a seating capacity for Sc pupils.
Miss Addie Card is the teacher and at
the present time has 2G pupils under her
charge. The school is reported to be
progressing nicely.
Inc Base BalliSts, OF Neihart, me
according to call on last Saturday eve
ming and effected an organization. A
list of officers were elected rs follows:
Chas. Mix, President; James S. Gordon,
Secretary and Treasurer; Dan. Slavin,
General Manager. The members of the
club are in dead earnest and will soon
be playing games here that will rate
them with clubs in much larger towns.
The necessary tools have been procured
and a ground will be cleared off below
town.
The Florence, Moulton, Hartley and
Benton Group continue to look better
as the work progresses. Reports from
the Hartley are very Encouraging to the
owners and the Benton never looked so
well as at the present time. The Flor
ence has been shipping ore and will
continue doing S o right along. The
Moulton at the present time has five feet
Of high grade ore. What camp, with
the present amount Of development that
is done on these mines, can make a bet
ter showing! 1t can be safely answered,
nowhere in Montana.
The l. X. L. Mining Company, OH
Snow creek have struck a large body of
waite" in their crosscut. The volume Of
water was SO great that it made further
working of this mine impossible. The
miners had to be laid off until such time
as the company could procure hoist
works and Il pump. A shaft 275 feet in
depth has been sunk on this property
and a crosscut at the depth Of 265 feet
in the shaft was started to strike the
lead. This shaft was sunk by means of
Il whim. The crosscut is in % feet and
at a distance of so feet more they cx-
pect to find the contact.
The case of J.. G. Wooster VS. CITY
Marshall Martin O'Brein, of Neihart,
was brought here for trial this week.
Mr.. Wooster it seems took up a position
at the poles in Ncihart during the city
election for the purpose of challenging
illegal votes and was arrested by the
marshall. Now Wooster has brought
an action against the town officials, the
justice of the peace, of Neihart, being Il
witness in the case, it was brought here
for trial and was first brought up beford
Judge Ford, but on Il change of venue is
now being heard by Judge Abbott.
There are a large number of witnesses in
this c~ase.-Rocky Mountain Husband
man.
1t is rumered that at White Sulphur
Springs during the past week the fol-
lowing cases were disposed of: That of
J. c. E. Barker and Elmer j. Anderson
vs.. The C%ornucopia Company was set
tied in favor of the Cornucopia Com
pany. The Judge holding that five
years assessment work on the claim in
dispute was sufficient to hold the prop
crty. The suit between Thomas Keller
ct al VS.. The Ingersoll Mining Company
is virtually settled in favor of the In
gersoll Mining Company. The Judge
holding that the wark in the tunnel was
sufficient to hold the Summet claim but
IN account of errors in the papers of
the Company a decision was not rem
dered until the correction could be made
thus delaying the decision until the next
term of court.
