The Curlew Sold for $4,000.

Hamilton, June 1.-THE Curlew mine
was sold at auction yesterday by Re
ceiVer H. p. Kenneth in front of the
court house for $4,000. There We're only
two bidders present, A. NJ Hotter of
Helena and A. S. Blake of Victor and
the former gentleman was the success
full bidder. The sale of the mine was
made upon an order of the district
court permitting the receiver to dispose
of the property to satisfy as far as pos
sible the Indebtedness of the company
owning the mine, which is said to be
about $4,000 The property was owned
and operated for number of years by
the Helena & Victor Mining company
and from 1887 to 1890 was one of the
big paying mining enterprises of the
state, the shares running away up, but
after that date the mine failed to pay

Its way. No doubt the sale will work
to the good of the property, as the new
owner has plenty of means, and it is
scarcely probable that mine with
such possibilities will be allowed II
remain idle. The reopeuing of the Cur
lew would mean much to the Bitter

things that frequently lead to the de-

searched high and low for the knives
and razors that were taken from the
store, but had only been able to locate
the two or three that We're found on
the two men who had been arrested
for the theft. Monday afternoon a man
reported to the office of the sheriff
that he had picked up a printed guar
antee of a certain brand of raZOrs near
the old log cabin on the Greenough
ranch at the south end of Mount jun
DO. This slip of paper. he said, looked
fresh and new. and he thought that it
might have some connection with the
cutlery that had been taken from the
City Drug store, The sherfffs officers
acted upon this clue and searched the
cabin thoroughly. They had nearly
decided that the clue was a false one.

PICKING UP At COLOMA.
A Season of More Than Ordinary
Activity Confidently Predicted.
NEW REDUCTION PLANT
Machinery Has Been Purchased, 80 900
Feet OF Lumber Has Been Ordered
and Work on the Plant Will
Be Begun at Once.

Missoula, June 15.-John L. Sloane
received a telegram to-day from A. b.
Browne of the new reduction company,
which states that the deal for the pur-
chase of the machinery for the new
reduction plant near Coloma has been
at once. This means that the activ-
ity that formerly prevailed in the
neighborhood of Coloma will be renew
ed and that the mines of that district
will be worked more extensively than
they have for three years. The ma
chinery will be on the road in day
or two and Judge Sloane to-day plac-
ed an order for 100000 feet of lumber
for the buildings. Work will be start
ed at once at the site for the plant and
there is no prospect for any delay in
the matter.
Dr. Peter Mussigbrod. who is one of
the largest owners of mining property
in the Coloma and Garnet district, was
in town for a day this week. and in
speaking of the outlook for the camps,
he said that there was no doubt of
the success of most of the properties
that have been prospected and devel-
oped. There are many that can be
worked as soon as there are local re-
duction facilities. and these will doubt
less be worked. All that the new plant
needs is plenty of ore to keep it go
ing. There is good ore in abundance
in the district, and as soon as suf-
f1cient number of properties are open
ed up and placed in such shape that
they can furnish ore for the mills and
reduction works things will be lively
