THE BOULDER DISTRICT.


The Royal Proving a Great Property-A
Dedication on Feb. 22, Etc.
PRINCETON, MONT, Feb. 14.--lt must
be cheering for every patriot to note how
generally Washington's birthday will be
celebrated this year, Notwithstanding the
widespread distress, financial wrecks and
ruin. The papers all TEEN with announce
ments Of social events to take place on
that day. Italmost looks like a premedi-
tated, spontaneous protest by brave and
intrepid people against conditions sad
died upon them by timeserving politi-
clans, aud fair notice, "with the handwrit-
ing upon the wall" that they can distin
guish between the mercenary, weakling
representatives Of the hour and the noble
disinterested patriots and statesmen of a
century ago. Those men of 1776- 179G
seem like intellectual giants when COM
pared with others who, unfortunately for
themselves and us, have wriggled them
selves to the front in our time. 1t would
almost seem as If the 'fathers Of this
great republic" had acted under u pro
phctc inspiration in framing that inmor
tai document, the Constitution Of the
United States. How different were the
conditions at the time of its enactment,
and since, to the present day. How many
storms it has already survived, and still
its tmbers are intact. How grandly it is
adapted to a progressive civilization
under varying conditions. Such ref1ec-
tions ought to be a great source of com
fort to the lover of his country, for it
assures him that the constitution will
again, as it has repeatedly done heretofore,
furnish the light to guide our footsteps
! through darkness to day.
The above current of thought was more
Immediately sent upon its errand by the
impending inauguration Of our new school
| house on Feb. %, next, when the modest
| but substantial structure will be dedi
Gated to its ennoblng mission by an
| intellectual aud social entertainment.
The first will consist of orations on Edu
cation and George Washington, supple
mented by recitations, dialogues, vocal
and instrumental music. The second
part is entirely given to dancing and
pleasant social intercourse. We antici-
pate large attendance from the valley
and neighhoring settlements.
This camp (Boulder DistricD has come
to stay-not for year or two, but for
generations. Our lodes are large and
true, and now that the Royal Gold, with
its splendid record and continuous devel-
opment, has dispelled the doubts that
hing over us like mirage over low
lands, for nearly a quarter of a century,
we will Ego marching on.'
The writer is not drawing upon his
imagination when he states that an
other mining property, near the Royal, is
showing up finely under the blows Of two
hammers: but it is really too soon to say
much concerning the district at large, as
the Royal is the only mine so far that is
being worked on anything like liberal
scale

John Walsh Of the Royal mineis in the
city. He says that the Royal is turning
out to be wonderful piece of property.
At the present time there is magniti-
cent body of ore in sight and the more
work is pushed the better the property
appears to be. The ore is gold quartz
and seems inexhaustible. At present
there are between 80 and IS men en-
ployed in the mine and the 10-stamp mill.
A new mill Of about 10 stamps will he
built as soon as the weather permits, the
contract for the lumber having already
been let.

already commenced operations on the

his will, which was in course of prepa

bequeathed the entire property to his

the will being unattested, it is null and

The editor of the average country
newspaper is generally not only willing
but glad to print anything in the shape
OF news that he can get hold of, and the
more he gets the better it suits him and
his patrons. But he is neither omnipo-
tent or omnipresent, neither is he able to
get information from on high, yet people
often think they are Intentionally sighted
because he does not publish some item
that does not come under his observation
but which he would just us cheerfnlly
publish, whether it concerns friends or
enemies, did he but know it. The moral
of the above is just this: "When you
know anything which you think will
make your home paper more newsy and
readable, just give the editor Il tip and
see how quick he will go for it."-Ex
A young gentleman writes us from

in his letter: 81 can work at most any
thing-in sawmill Or logging outfit; have
clerl1ed two years in general store, and
traded with Sioux Indians; can keep
books, handle horses and break them.
We judge from the tone of the young
mans letter that he has struck country
much worse i'll the way of climate, ETC..
