Deer Lodge, June 90, 1899.
The placer mining, season has been late
getting around but it is now in full blast.
The nearest operations TO this place are
at Spring Gulch, Where Charley Reid is
said to be doing Well. The ground is
located six miles east of this city and is
paying well. The first clean UP will be
made next Saturday.. The ground be-
longing to ex-County COMMISSIONS III.
b. Hoffman just above Emery canp is
now being worked with hydraulic appar-
atus-day and night s%hifts-and as in
former years is paying we'll. While these
propositions are small they have been
great payers in former years. The gold
is coarse and easily saved, and is of a
very high grade on the market. The
lateness Of the season has, no doubt, cut
down the annual output greatly.
The STANDARD this morning creates the
Impression that the county commission
ers have cancelled the contract for the
renting of the old court house premises
in this city to A. 3. Smith. This is mis-
leading, as Mr.. Smith has possession UNI
der a legal lease and is making prepara-
tions to open his resort on July /. The
commissioners may regret their action
in the matter, and if they have redress
they may exercise it. Your correspondent
gives this information in justice to all
concerned, for it is the most part of the
Inter Mountains mission to be correct
on ali subjects Of interest. Tho COM
miSsioners had ample legal advice and
plenty of time to consider the propriety
of renting the premises and it is indeed
strange that at this late hour they have
discovered their error. The people Of
Deer Lodge are undecided whether or
not they have one county commissioner
OF three which the law provides for.
