Doings at Yogo.

Joseph NJ. Giroux the well-known
mining mar of Yogo was in town Thurs
day purchasing supplies. He is feeling
in the best of spirits, and hopes soon to
begin work on the Bi-Metallic. This
claim has a shaft which follows a gran
lite hanging wall, exposing four feet of
ledge matter containing some ore which
assays gold and silver. The foot wall is
not visible and the width of the vein not
known. 1t is a contact of lime and
granite and the ore is free smelling.
He says that James Mari and Abram
Gibson have leased the old Weatherwax
mine, and are building a Mexican smelt-
er with reverbcratory furnace in which
they will treat the ore. Experiments
have proved that the Yogo ores can be
successfully treated in such a smelter.
The w%eatherwax is owned by the Mel.
hart mining company, of which James
Donovan of Great Falls is a memb Der,
The success of this move will result in
the employment of so men in that To-
cality.

A Personal Vindication.

Editor NEIHART HERALD: l desire to
offer a correction to a certain article
which was supposed. to voice the opinion
of the editor of the Neihart Miner.
After finding fault with everything stat
ed in my speech at your place the afore-
said editor states that l went away with
other Coxeyites and when last heard
from was showing lumber at Belt. In
correction l desire to say that like all
other commonwealers l am not above
earning an honest living at honest labor.
But my trade is that of millwright and
machinist, and l did not shove lumber
at Belt. The slurs of the editor
of the Miner against a movement
as earnest and yet as pure in purpose as
that of the commonweal, characterize
him as "A man of little principle and less
rational instinct. If he wishes to ascer-
tain the character of the person in ques-
ton he will find me identified with the

Townsend Messenger: While all
points visited were full of interest
and the entertainments all that could
have been desired, we think we
voice the sentiment of the gang
when we say that the trip to Neihart
was the most enjoyable of all. The
scenery is indescribably grand at all
most all points on Belt river up
which the road winds. The Great
Northern railway company rendered
the editors the excursion and Super
intendent Courier took personal
charge. The public spirited citizens
of Neihart met their visitors at the
train with a brass band and marched
them to the Frisco hotel, where an
elegant dinner awaited them. The
visitors had little time to look about
the town, but hat little vas improv-
ed. The town is remarkably well
and substantially built and has mag
nifcent water works, electric light
plant and other accessories of a pro.
gressive city.
