THE MAN FROM TEXAS.

HIS VIVID Picture of Conditions In
the Lone Star State.
He was registered from Texas, and
the hotel reporter, being anxious to see
a Texan fresh from his native heath,
asked the clerk to point him out and
at once proceeded to interview him.
"You are from Texas, l believer he
said in his winning reportorial n
as he stood in front of him.

"I'm a reporter, hurriedly explained
the interviewer, somewhat abashed,

with you on Texas matters. How are

the Texan. 81 did not thoroughly COM

hensive of strangers, | felt a natural
hesitancy, don't you know, in greeting

any information l may possess, and in
response to your eminently pertinent
inquiry 1 may say that, as far as my
knowledge extends, the times in my po-
litical division of the Union are notably
salutary."
The reporter wondered il the clerk
hadn't made a mistake.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.
The Light of Neihart Is Beginning
to Illumine the Dark Places of
Earth.

Earth.
A representative of the HERALD
in an interview with j. J. Ct. Burns,
the Neihart mining broker, confirms
the former statement that the outside
world is keeping sharp cases on Mel
hart. Mr.. Burns says that every
mail brings him inquiries as to the
outlook for Neihart. He is now in
correspondence with some eastern
parties in regard to certain mining
property which he refuses at the
present time to make public, but
which he says, if the deal pulls
through, means much for Neihart.
The building of the concentrator has
caused an active stir in the mining
world, and capital is keeping a
watchful eye upon our camp.
The strike made on the Gold Rock
goes to show that the richest mines
of this district are only starting to be
developed. All Neihat wants is
capital, to develope the mines here,
to prove that it is the richest Silver
camp in the state.
What Neihart needs is men who
are willing to invest capital to de-
velope the mines to prove this; and
from present outlooks we will soon
have these. The motto of the
HERALD "Pin your faith to Neihart
and advance with the town" is no
idle dream. 1t is only a question of
a few months until Neihart will re-
turn to its former standing of activi-
ty and prosperity and those who
have worn the seats of their trousers
glossy doing nothing but bottoming
chairs and condemning the camp will
be the first with the exclamation, 81
told you So"

Caught Lots of Fish.

A crowd of lusty fishermen went
down Belt last Sunday returning
with over 200 trout and whitefsh.
They had great luck. There were
of the party +. NJ. and B. o. KEN
pier, Hans Westgard, Johnny
Walker, Sandy Trip and Pete Fake.
Mr.. Westgard did not catch as many
as others, as he spent most of his
time fishing for mudturtles with a
bull-frog IN a 7-come-11 proposition
for bait. The generally accepted
belief that if you swear you can't
catch any fish was thoroughly ex-
ploded, for Sandy Trip never stop
ped swearing, and affidavits on file
In this office go to show that he
caught two fish. Chas. Conner got
so mad because the fish wouldn't
bite that he jumped in and tried to
run them down. Johnny Walker
caught a trout which weighed 81
pounds. This is the biggest trout
yarn of the season, especially as the
author is an alderman of the city and
his word is generally good. AT the
lunch hour Barney Kempfer was
telling that he had already caught
10; but when they came to inspect
his creel they found that he had
caught one fish Is times. 1t was
a bull-head.

Progress on the List.

The List lode lies just east of the
Whipporwill group, and is being de-
veloped by its owners, d. E. Nc
Grail, Terry Mel .aughlin and John
List. 1t has a tunnel 1875 feet in
length run on the vein, which gives
them a depth of 70 feet. Here they
have 10 inches of carbonate and sui
phide of lead and silver which is
sufficiently rich to pay expenses of
the work. They are now sinking a
Wine near the face of the tunnel,
and have gone down a distance of
70 feet, finding the ore continuous.
They have thus a great quantity of
ground blocked out and are still
forging ahead on the shaft, in
tending to open slopes later. The
ore is apparently growing higher in
grade as depth is attained.
The William jennings Bryan is
an adjoining claim to the List, be-
longing to the same parties. They
also claim the Medusa lode lying
just north of the Gold Rock lode on
Mackey creek.

THE MINES.
Rich Strikes and Encouraging
News Reported from the
Mines of Neihart.
A VISIT TO CAMP HEGENER
ON MACKEY CREEK.
Bond and Lease of the Gold Rock
and Philippi Lodes Furnish Some
Very Cheering News.

Much interest has conferred this
week in the rich strike of ore lust
made in the Mackey creek district.
The wonderful richness of the ore is
proving itself with every blast, as
the shaft goes down. A greater dis
covery than hat on the Gold Rock
was never made in Neihart, and it is
doubtful if its equal has been pro-
duced in Montana.
The Gold Rock lies on Mackey
creek about a half mile from the
confluence of that stream with Car
penter. 1t belongs to the already
famous Hegner group of silver mines,
whose yield of rich ore has often
been reported. The Gold Rock was
once under lease to NJ. G.. Erickson
and f. Peterson, who drove a long
tunnel on the main vein and extract
ed a good sized shipment of rich
sulphuret ore. They reached a point
in the development where they had
to sink on the ore or quit, and having
no machinery with which to dispose
of water they chose the latter course,
For a year the ground lay idle,
until n month ago Chas. H. Riley
took a bond and lease on the ground
for two years, the bond fixed at $50
600, and begun to sink a shaft on the
vein. A similar bond and lease
was taken on the Philippi an ad join.
ing claim, the bond being for 49,.
600, and w. II. Harrison and G. II
Burchard were made partners of Mr.
Riley in everything.
At a depth of 25 feet the rich ore
was encountered. 1t came in 6
crystallized brittle and ruby silver
eight inches in width, the pretties
body of ore ever uncovered any
where. They are now down only
three feet further, but the ore bod,
is intact, between walls of porphyry
in a assure which stands almost yer
teal. "A sample of the entire bod,
shows 1900 ounces of silver to tn,
ton, but picked samples of ore rul
as high as 10000 ounces. A goo,
deal of water runs with the vein
which lies directley in the bed 0
Mackey creek, The continuity O
the ore body will be watched wit
much interest, for at it's presen
grade, a very few carloads will sufic
f to lift the bond on the entire proper

A visit to the works this wee
showed Mr.. Riley enthusiasticall
' but coolly at work, assisted by Ale
erman Arthur and V. E. Westbers
the former acting as engineer. The
= will put on a double shift some tim
next week, and continue the shat
for a hundred feet.
