The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1896-10-06

A gentleman in South Manchester,
Conn.,, has I, 800 distinct varieties of
grass growing On a little less than two
acres of land which he devotes to this
purpose. In this collection of grasses
are specimens from foreign countries
and all parts of the United States. The
grass garden is laid out in strips and
squares, and although to the casual
observer many of the grasses vary
slightly, yet the grower recognizes
every kind by name.

A Strong Company.

W.. II. Godfrey of Butte is at the Fris-
co hotel. He is travelling for the Union
Life Insurance company of Omaha, one
of the best life insurance companies in
existence today. Mr.. Godfrey was for
two years, and till lately travelling agent
of the Great Northern express company,
having charge of all lines in North Oak
ota and Montana. He has come to Mel
hart to remain about ten days, and to
talk up a little business for his company.
The Union Life is an old line, legal re-
serve company, having cash values at the
end of the third year, and all policies
nonforfeitable after the second year.
This company writes twenty-four kinds
of policies to suit as many different re-
quiremcnts. Its investments as well as
its risks are all west of the Mississippi
river, and north of the southern border
of Kansas, including the healthiest por-
ton, we might say, of the world. Its
risks are safest, its investments the most
profitable, and its methods the most bus
iness-like of all the companies. 1t may
with propriety be styled a home comp.
any, as it does no business except in the
northwest. Through M. Godfrey we
learn that a great many of the principal
men of Butte carry insurance in thi:
company, including Postmaster james
Lynch, Cashier E!ayette Harrington, Of
Silver Bow national bank, G.. @. John
ston, clerk and recorder of Silver Bow
county and scores of others.

A Wide.Awake Citizen.

Accompanying his check for SO, the
price of years subscription to the great
family educator, A. G.. Kingston of
Tower, MINI. writes as follows:
E. K. Abbott, Editor.
Dear Sir: Judging from the HERALD,
Neihart must be steadily on the improve.
Though somewhat interested in Neihart,
l have not been in the city for several
years. But I am just as glad at seeing
work of improvement go forward, as if
I were a resident there. l am convinced
that the voice of people will in the near
future be heard in behalf of silver.
Right must eventually win, but it some
times requires great sacrifice to bring it
about. Respectfully yours,
A. G. Kingston.
The writer of the above is one of the
proprietors of the Iron Range Cash Store
but while dealing in general merchandise
is also a close student of current political
events. His letter cheers us as he dclar
es that the cause of silver is right, an(
consequently must win. We wish Mr.
Kingston every success and trust hi
Neihart investments may return him q
hundred fold.

A BUSY STORE.
The Large Department Store of j. n.
Fitzsimmons Constantly Receive
ing New Goods.

A HERALD scribbler dropped into the
store of John r. Fitzsimmons yesterday,
and found the force busily engaged in
unpacking new goods. They were just
opening a large case of gloves, the finest
and best in quality and variety yet put
upon the market. There are gents work
ing and driving gloves, reindeer, Plym-
outh. Indian tanned buck and asbestos
ireproof gloves. This last named is a
marvel of manufacture, furnishing an ar
ticle absolutely unaffected by fire.
In the shirt department we saw all ell
egant and complete assortment of soft as
well as starched goods supplied by the
Wood Manufacturing company, which
firm has attained an enviable reputation
both as to quality and workmanship OF
their products. The Wood shirts are the
best. The line of hats has lately been
augmented by a mammoth stock of new
spring shapes and %colors, as nobby as ev,
er came to town.
Fitzsimmons is headquarters for trav
cling bags and trunks, carrying a large
and complete line of these goods.
The clothing department is made par
ticularly attractive. A new assortment
of suits, single pants, etc. gives the pub
lie a fine line from which to select. The,
are making prices to compete with Hell
ena and Great Falls.
Ladies and gents alike will md in the
new consignment of medium aud sum
mer weight underwear the latest anC
best articles required. In this depart
ment quality and price bear the mos
favorable relations.
The ladies of Neihart will soon witnes
the arrival of a complete stock of sprini
and summer dress goods, including Indi
linens and outing flannels, in the lates
patterns. Watch for them, and don
tail to see the STOCK as soon as 1t arrives
Ladies' goods of all kinds constantly o
hand. Ladies' and children's shoes i
the largest quantity and best quality.
In addition to the above specialties thi
store keeps a very complete line of fan
lily groceries, and there is hardly an ar
icle of domestic use which cannot !

PROGRESS at the Queen.

A Herald man in company with II. B.
Hill, general manager of the Queen, WIS.,
tied the works of that mine this week.
Contractors Bernier and SHELTON are
driving the main TUNED, and within a
week will have completed their contract.
They are making 5 or 6 feet in every
twenty four hours which is certainly
fast work with hand drills. They
are in the hill 140O feet and have attain
ed a vertical depth of 500 or 600 feet,
The vein at the present working is Is to
30 feet wide, with streaks of good ore
running all through it, but the ore does
not yet come together as it has been
hoped it would.
Where the contractors leave off, the
Gait people will start across the country
to the eastward, a distance Of probably
200 feet to the Gait vein, intending
henceforth to work that vein from the
| Queen tunnel. This crosscut will drain
the Gait vein, and give them AIS feet of
depth below their present working
tunnel, with splendid facilities for han
ding the ore. The Queen has one of the
finest working tunnels in the camp, dry,
we'll timbered and we'll ventilated.
On Monday evening. contractors Boil
and, Brulotte, Payette and Lamarque
finished their contract on the 300 foot
shaft. This was the quickest and prob.
ably the least expensive piece of work
of its kind yet done in camp. The work
is excellent in character, leaving nj
ground for complaint on any score.
Wednesday last a contract was let to
cross cut from the bottom of the 800
foot shaft to the vein a distance probabl,
of rs feet. The successful bidders were
Lee Lilliquist, Matt Sandkulla, Matt
Watanen and another unknown. 1t is
the firm belief that a large body of rich
ore will be uncovered at this depth
Tie managers of the Qneen have show
good judgement in the direction of thes
improvements, and we hope the day i
not far distant when they may begin t.
reap the reward Of their generous ex
penditures.
