Another of the old-timers of Park
county died Friday at his home at Frid
ley. This time George Arnholt received
his summons to join the innumerablc
caravan, after an illness of about one
week. Pneumonia, the fatal malady
which has carried away in the past two
weeks some of the oldest residents OF
the county, was the cause of death. M.
Arnholt made a longer fight against the
progress of uhe disease than those pre-
viously afflicted, but finally he, too, was
compelled to leave his earthly ne.ghbors
and join the little coterie of pioneers 50
recently gone before him. The funeral
was held from the residence at l'ridley
last Saturday, Rev. J. F. Pritchard of
the Episcopal church officiating. The
remains were inferred in the Strickland
cemetery, to which final resting place
the body was followed by large mum
Der of friends George H. Arnholt had
been resident of the Upper Yellowstone
country for many years. In the early
days before the railway came he was en-
ployed in carrying the mails, one OF
those hazardous and responsible posi-
tions always filled by men of persever-
ance and stout hearts. He leaves two
children to mourn his loss. One of these
is a boy IA years of age, While the other
is girl of 10 years. Many friends
mourn his death.
Colin Mcintosh, a mining man from
Spokane, arrived in the city Saturday
morning and went up to Jardine. Mr..
Mcintosh represents an English syndi-
cate, which has become greatly inter-
ested in the mines at Bear Gulch. and
which sent the gentleman to Jardine to
look over the properties of the Robin
son Mining company and also those Of
the Bear Gulch company. 1t is assert
ed that the syndicate which is repre-
sented by Mr.. Mcintosh has unlimited
capital and that it is much in favor of
locating some of this money in Park
county. There is no doubt that the
fame of Bear Gulch is spreading rap
idly and that it is destined to become
one of the greatest gold producers in the
state.
