There was quite a delegation of
visitors here last Sunday after
noon enjoying a stroll about town
in the genial sunshine of that love-
ly day. Several persons informed
us that it was a squad of local OPP
ton workers; others said they
we're proprietors of the city brew
cries; but as VIM. Trauernicht
was in charge of the crowd we
knew the latter surmise could not
be correct, and an interview with
him brought out the fact that the
crowd was composed of the follow
ing artists: A. Roehry, g. Schultz
and A. Rieke, capitalists: DR.. [.
A. Marshall, pill roller; DR.. F. w.
Trauernicht, stump puller-all of
whom hailed from Ironton, and
Sergeant Reese, U. S. Army, Oma-
ha, Nebraska. He also informed
usathat there was another one here
(iR spirit) who was left behind be-
cause he missed the train, viz: H.
Amelung, of Pilot Knob, a retired
capitalist and a boomer. Sunday
is a dry day in Bismarck, but the
visitors seemed to enjoy their stay
here very much and while they
had free access to Mr.. Trauernicht's
apartments, he informs us that
they were were we'll behaved and
made no effort to confscate the
alcohol contained in his jars of
preserved snakes, centipedes, ia
rantulas and scorpions-a' fact of
which he expressed himself as be-
ing highly pleased.-BiSmarck CO.
Mr.. Haven, of Munger, Iron
county, was a Piedmont visitor
this week and while here talked to
the Banner man about the gold and
asbestos mining venture which
for several months has been un-
der way in the vicinity of Munger.
The company which is trying to
develop the property is located
in st. Louis. About $685. 900 has
already been expended in putting
machinery on the grounds. Be-
sides this a rather assuming hotel,
considering the size of the town,
has recently been built in Munger.
The company bought outright the
lands which they are prospecting
from the farmers who owned them.
AS an evidence that they have not
abandoned the venture, they re-
Gently secured twenty-year leases
upon several acres of land en-
bracing the village of Munger
with the avowed purpose Of lay
off a town thereon. At first
the plan was to mine asbestos,
but Mr.. Haven was informed by
an official of the company that
gold had been found in paying
quantities, and more attention
might be devoted to that mineral
than to asbestos. Work will prob
ably be resumed actively in the
spring. Mr.. Haven is a brother
in-law of Attorney j. B, Daniel of
this city, and was here to see his
two-year old child which Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel are rearing, MI. Ha-
ven's wife being dead. -Ptedm ont
