ON STONY CREEK.
A New York Paper Talks of One of
Our Properties.

The Manhattan & Montana Mining
company is company which was re-
Gently incorporated under the laws of
West Virginia with capital stock of
$500, 900, divided into 81 shares. The
headquarters are in New York City.
Mr.. Hermann Thofehrn is president,
and he informs us that the property of
the company consists of three claims.
namely, the Golden Anchor, Red Star
and Blue Bell, located on Stony creek.
The ore body is quartzite and is partly
refractory. There are above 5000
tons of ore in sight with an average
assay value of $52 per ton. The vein
is 9 feet wide and can be worked by
quarrying. Mr.. Thofehrn adds that
considerable money has already been
spent in developing the property, and
that the present company will carry on
further operations. The erection of a
plant capable of handling 80 tons of
ore day is under consideration. 1t
will consist of stamp mill with plates
and wells to catch what free gold there
may be in the ore concentrating
tables, roasting furnaces and teaching
apparatus. With this outfit it is ex-
pected to save above S5 per cent. of the
contents of the ore handled at an ex.
pense not exceeding s. per ton. For
the present whatever ore is hoisted
from the property will he shipped
direct to the smelters at Philipsburg.

fy these liens. The settlement was
made by Arthur Colburn, the largest
creditor in the property, who succeeded
in cOmpromis:sy matters with the
other claim1Ats whereby those who
had labor liens in the hands of Attor
ney Dixon lave received seventy-fve
cents on the dollar in cash and ac-
cepted due bills made payable on Sep
telnber lst for the remaining twenty
five per cent of their claims, provided
the property is sold in the meantime
at IA stated figure. The labor claimants
represented by Messrs. Kohl q Brooks
and Iessrs Durfee q Brown settled
outright for eightyive cents on the
dollar Thus all the labor liens are
disposed of and the remainder OF judg-
ment claimants give Mr.. Oolburn an
option on their claims at 70 cents on
the dollar until September lst. This
includes all the heaviest creditors, eX-
cept L. G. Johnson. who, Oh account
of the nature of his lien against the
property, could not make any such CON
cession because for him to do 50 it
would vitiate his lien. Many Of the
smaller creditors, such as the Feather

to make any reduction from their
claims-the intention being to settle
with them in full when payments of
such claims are made.

seems to give quite general satisfac-
tion. All were anxious for some solu
tion to the perplexing circumstances
surrounding the co,npany's affairs
since the first attachment was made
upon them on the 9Th of November
last, and consequently this compromise
arrangement was not opposed by any
one to any extent 1t is now the sup
position that a reorganization of the
company will take place soon and in
due time the work of competing the
plant will be resumed. In the mean
time additional watchinen will be en-
ployed and the property and machinery
will be so cared for that it will not
deteriorate in value.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

ME meeting Of the Literary Society
last Friday night was very inter
esting one. as was shown by the large
number of visitors The programme
was varied one and was we'll rem
dered. The last Oh the programme,
but not least by any means, was the de-
bate on woman's suffrage for Montana.
This was one of the best debates ever
given in the society, each side present

ing a great amount Of preparation as
we'll as natural ability. According to
the decision of the judges. the side de-

with men won.
~
a literary society is something that
is hard to keep alive and prosperous
AS Il general thing they are all right
for the first few months, or while it is
something new: but when it continues
longer. the exercises seem TO act as a
kind of burden on the members. Again,
little differences will arise between in
dividual members, and these have a
tendency to weaken the society While
there was considerable opposition at
first to starting society of that kind
in our school, it gradually declined as
progress was made by the members. 1t
was also freely predicted that the
society would soon wear out. Happily
those predictions have never as vet been
fulfilled. but on the contrary the
society has gone forward, giving better
exercises each meeting, until it seems
like a permanent institution. Although
81 me signs of dissolution have shown
it,elf during the past week, they will
probably soon pass away and all will go
on as pleasantly as usual
x*x
Two things would be highly appre-
ciated by the members Of the literary
society, and they are: first. that the
visitors would be more prompt in COM
ing-as it disturbs the exercises to have
anyone enter after they have begun !;
second. that some who attend would
try and be a little more quiet, as here
tofore there has been tendency to talk
during the exercises. which is very an
noying to those who desire to hear
them

Beware of Grocery PeddIers.

This county is infested with the
grocery peddler shark at present
Farmers should give these people a
wide berth, They cannot sell you
groceries as cheap as your home gro
Ger, and besides they will work off a
cheap and inferior grade on you.
Nine times out of ten you never get
the quality shown you in the sample.
1t stands to reason that they can
not sell as cheap as the home mer-
chant. For example: At present
there are four men here working the
farmers; one man stays here in town
and takes the reports of the three
men who travel through the county,
and while he is not busy at that he
occupies the rest of his time in pun
ishing poor whisky. The expenses
and salaries of these four men will
average about $32 day, which will
have to be added on to the goods
sold. And besides this expense the
company has to pay rent and hire
clerks and get profit the same as
your home merchant, and pays as
much for his goods as the home mer-
chant. Hence your home grocer, not
being under more than one-half the
expense and buying his goods just as
cheap, it stands to reason that he
can sell you goods just as cheap, if
not cheaper than the peddling shark.
Patronize home industry.

How Christmas Was Observed
by our Citizens.

AS Christmas comes but once
year every one makes it a point to
observe the day in some manner, and
last Saturday found every body busy
either entertaining or being enter
tanned. Parties appear to be the fad
this year, as several were held throug-
out the city. Among the most prom

Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. Harris, who enter
tainded their mother and brother,
Mrs. Harris and DIR, George Harris of
OrtonvilIe, Rev. and Mrs. Willett, Mrs.
L. Pearce and Mrs. Fuller, An eIab-
crate spread was had, and the house
was artistically decorated. the latter
comprising mistletoe bough. In
spite of the expense of the mistletoe
bough and occasionally the extreme
difficulty of procuring it, it is never
theless the finishing touch of the
drawing room decoration for the
Christmas house party. tits extreme
ly difficult to get the true mistletoe
with its pearly berry, All enjoyed
the day very much. Mrs. Harris left
Monday for Peoria, ILL.,, to be present
at the reunion of her family -the Van
SAINTS.
Among others who entertained
were Mr.. and Mrs. O. B. Fuller and
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Getz, and those who
we're not being entertained or enter
tang, attended the Scandinavian con-
cert or the Eastern Star dance. Hence
when you come to sum up the day
every onemanaged to pretty thorough
ly enjoy themselves before the day
was gone.

exercises and trees we're held in both
churches on Christmas eve, and were
thoroughly enjoyed by all.
