NEWS FROM ROUNDUP.
George Osborne Is Appointed Post.
master at the Big Camp.

Roundup, April 28.-George Os-
borne has received his commission as
postmaster at this place and has
entered upon his duties For the
present, the mail will be brought
from old Roundup but train service
will be secured in the very near
future. To insure prompt delivery,
all mail matter intended for the new
town should be addressed to East
Roundup.
A member of the Salvation army
at Lewistown visited Roundup last
week, soliciting funds for use in her
work. She met with considerable
success here as there are not to be
found more liberal people than
those of Roundup.
Ted Osborne arrived here last
week from Chicabo and will spend
the summer with his brother George.

ARE OUT LOOKING
FOR Mr.. MOSNEY
SHERIFF MARTIN AND ED
MORGAN GO ON STILL
HUNT FOR OUTLAW.

Word was brought to this city last
Thursday evening that man answer
ing the description of Mosney, the
half breed murderer, who is badly
wanted by Lewis and Clark county
officials, had been seen out in the
northwestern part of the county.
Accompanied by Deputy AL Morgan,
Sheriff Ed Martin left Friday morn
ing for that locality to see if he could
get any trace Of the elusive outlaw.
Up to the time Of going to press,
no word has been received from the
officers and it is thought likely that
they may have got some clew which
the yare following up. 1t is sure
thing that if the Fergus county sheriff
gets on Mr.. Mosney's trail, he will
follow it to the finish even if it
takes him to the Canadian border.
And it is not likely that the half
breed will "horn swoggle" Martin as
easily as he did Sheriff Shoemaker Of
Helena on a recent occasion.

big DEAL IN real ESTATE
Greater Portion Of the King Boys Holdings on
Little Rock and Spring Creeks Sold to
hilger Loan and Realty Co.

Big deals in real estate are coming
to be weekly occurrences in this sec
ton of the county these days. Last
week the Branger ranch, comprising
close to 5000 acres and involving ov-
er $4,000, was sold, and during the
past few days, practically all of the
details i'll the transfer of the grea .er
portion of the holdings of what has
always been known as the firm Of
Girls King & Sons, were closed up.
The King ranches comprises, alto
gether, 1000 acres Of land located on
Little Rock and Spring creeks. The
larger portion Of this big ranch has
been sold to the Hilger Loan and
Realty Co. Of this place. The price
has not been given out but it will
probably go away above the one hun
dred thousand dollar mark.
A Magnificent Place.
The King ranch is considered one
OF the finest iii the entire west.
There are thousands Of acres Of land
contained in it which cannot be ex-
celled anywhere for agricultural pur-
poses. The intention of the purchas-
ers is to cut this place up into small
tracts and sell them.
Homes for Many People.
The King and Branger ranches
which join, combined, comprise about
$4,000 acres Of fine land. This will
make one hundred l6O-acre tracts or
half that number of half section
farms. Counting five people per
family this one tract will provide
homes for from $50 to 500 new peo-
pie.
The sale of the King ranch will
probably mean the retirement from
business Of one Of ire best known
old time outfits of the county. The
elder Girls King, who died few
months ago, came to Fergus county
in the eighties and commenced the
building Of the property which, in
later years, reached such gigantic
proportions. They annually sent
train loads of cattle to market and
cut hundreds of tons of fine hay. For
twenty years, up to the time Of his
death, the father was assisted in the
management of his vast interests by
his sons. The children are now in a
position to retire, comfortably fixed
for life. all of which speaks volumes
not only for their business judgment
and industry but also for the wonder
full country which gave to them the
opportunity to work to the best ad,
vantage.

Frank Strouf his ranch of $500 acres

For the first time since the new
management has been in charge OF
the noted Barnes-King the property
more than paid expenses in March,
and several weekly reports for April
indicate that last month will do fully
as we'll. The receipts for March
were about $500 above operating ex-
penses, but the purchase OF some
supplies reduced the net proht tor
the month to little more than 81 ,OOO
The reports of George I. MCGEE,
manager of the property, indicate
gradual improvement in the mine.
His complete report for March is as
follows:

ton of there being a considerable tom

The mill worked steadily with the
usual results. Five thousand six hun

milled. The heads from the bullion
output were $497 per ton, and tails
40 cents. The cyanide consumption
was SIS of a pound per ton of ore.
An average of IL 1-3 shifts were en-
ployed per "a hours.

Manager McGee also makes week
ly reports, and the following for the
second and third weeks Of April
shows the progress of the work and
conditions to date:
Second week in April, 1,664 tons OF
ore were mined and milled, heads av-
eraging $4.52 and tails u cents.
In milling this tonnage, some tanks

for the high tails, and another is that

of which l have spoken before
Thirteen per cent. of the ore came
from the south end open cuts, car
samples averaging $445; IS per cent
from the north end open cuts, car
samples averaging $4.30; and 81 per
cent. from the Santiago ore body

We are having especially fine

crowding the mill to its limit for fear
of bad weather.
An average of 1928 ~ shifts per

week.
The third week in April, the mine
and mill have run very steadily and
