When asked what would be done if
a Mayhower stakeholder, after having
secured some leasing stock failed to

His failure to pay would cause his

Wingield, and / thought that Wing
field employed only the best Of skilled
men. But Stark was a fzzle-a false
alarm; he spent a lot of money here
uselessly. Why, in his work for Wing
field he cost Wingfeld $500, 900 almost
uselessly.
"He made a big mistake here. He
should never have put in the additional
ten stamps until sufficient ore was de-
veloped to keep them running. He
claims he had figured up the ore bodies
and believed that he had sufficient, but
he was mistaken. The same with the
water. When he started the additional
ten stamps there was insufficient water
and he had to sink the shaft an add.
tional fifty feet and run drifts to de-
velop water. But there is plenty now
to run the full Is stamps.

The newspapers IN the east end
OF the county are registering a
vigorous kick, and they have good
reasons to do so, against the action
oil the government in withdrawing
from settlement the vacant land
north OF Culbertson and the rescr-
walton, until the Rocky Boys band
OF tramp Indians can be located
on land in that locality. This
band OF Indians is conglomer-
alton OF the worthless, theiving,
begging element from a number OF
the leading tribes OF this country
and Canada, and according TO the
Helena papers it is impossible to
satisfy them or keep them from
wandering from place to place.
This county was given large
bunch OF Turtle Mountain Indians
some time ago and now to get the
Rocky Boys tribe is enough to
cause the settlers and business
men oil that part OF the county to
raise up with vigorous protest.
