,IoseI.h VI. Giroux, the well-known
mining man OF Yogo, WAS in town
Thursday purchasing supplies, says
the Neihart Herald OF June 80. He
is feeling in the best OF spirits, and
hopes soon to begin work on the BIZ
Metallic. This claim has a shaft which
follows a granite hanging wall, expos
ing tour feet of ledge matter containing
some ore which assays gold and silver.
The loot 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 milling. He saysthat James
Mari and Abram Gibson have leased
the old Weatherwax mine, and are
building a Mexican smelter with re-
verheratory furnace, in which they
will treat the ore. Experiments have
proved that the Yogo ores can be
successfully treated in such a smelter.
The Weatherwax is owned by the Nei-
hart Mining company, OF which James
Donovan, of Great Falls, is II member.
The success of this move will result in
the employment of fifty me in that
locality.
Shafer's Silver Cornet band thirteen
strong, accompanied by a number OF
our citizens, left for Fort Benton Mon
day morning, where they will be roy
ally entertained by the citizens of that
place. Speaking of the event, a recent
issue ofthe River Press contains the fol-
lowing: "On Tuesday, July 18th, the
Lewistown band will return the visit
made them by the Fort Benton band
some five weeks ago, and the people OF
this city are making preparations to
right royalty entertain the musicians
from Big Spring creek. The Lewistown
hand is regarded as the best organiza-
ton, barring possibly the army bands,
in Montana, and their coming will be
most warmly welcomed by our citizens,
who will seek to make a gala day OF
the affair. The band arrive here short
ly after noon on the 18th, and upon
their arrival a ball game between the
Fort Benton and Highwood clubs will
be played, and other athletic exercises
aud sports INDUCED in. The band
has consented to render a must
cal program in the evening, and a plat
form for the same will reconstructed"
We can volunteer the assurance that
the boys will be treated nicely, and in
return our Benton friends will have
the pleasure of listening to some excel

he replied, sit don't belong to me-"
