THE rustling stockman and mincr. Geo.
Lyons, having Provided for his, herds for
the winter, has returned to town and will
spend the cold days down in the diggings.
Tuos. SuIsNIicK, one ot the largest farm
ers of the Missouri valley, recently started
on a trip to the Western coast for his health.
Ile has left Mr. Patrick Griffin in charge of
his business.
Our friend, Daniel Nihan, who has been
absent upon the valley for some time, has
returned to Diamond. Dan is a favorite in
the social circles of Diamond, and we are
glad to see hint again.
Wa are pleased to know that our County
Fathers have given the project of opening
the road down Confederate gulch a favorable
consideration, and will aid the committee in
the completion of the project.
WE acknowledge a pleasant visit from
Jacob Tittman, of the Upper Missouri val
ley. Mr. T. is the owner of 300 acres of the
cholest land in the Poverty Flat district, and
has been fortunate in raising good crops
thereon.
H. S. GRITTENDEN, of Birch creek, ha
recently sold his ranch and interest in the
flock of sheep to his partner, A. J. Smith,
and will shortly move to the west side.
Win. Simons, who passed over a few days
ago, will take charge of the premises and
flock.
WE learned a few days since from a gen
tleman of Deep creek, that our good-natur
el Mriend, Andrew Cooper, has departed for
the Capital with the intention of entering
the matrimonial state. We doubt, however,
if the woman} lives who is fortunate enough
to have drawn such a prize. We guess it
must be some other "state."
WE understand thtat our jovial friend, G.
M. Hatch, who recently departed for Read
lyt. Shasta county. California. has purchas
ed 4,000 head of sheep and will drive them
to Montana next summer. Mr. Hatch's
brother left for California a few days ago to
0ssist In the drive. No one acquainted with
cur resources who can raise a dollar to buy
stock will long stay away.
Oua traveling man, "Will," Is now so
journing among the stock growers of Smith
river. His letters, which will commence
next week, will contain a complete history
of that region.
WE acknowledge the receipt of an invita
lion to attend a complimentary reception
tendered b3 the citizens of Helena to the
officers of the U. S. Army stationed in Mon
tana, to be given December 14. It promises
to be a grand affair, and we shall try to be
on hand.
WE learn from reliable authority that the
company which was organized in Helena
last summer for the purpose of mining river
beds, and located such large districts along
the Missouri river, intend commencing oper
ations at no distant (lay. The first work
will be done in the vicinity of French bar.
JOUNNIE LEWIs, who has spent the past
month in attending to his stock, came over
from the East Side last Sunday and left on
Monday morning for his home on the West
Gallatin. Hle had a number of invitations
to stay over until after the holidays, but de
clined, proterring to pass his leisure time
among his Gallatin friends.
THE fliest lamb we know of is the prop
erty of J. S. Moore, and weighs 1G3 pounds.
It is a spring lamb, was raised entirely by
hand, among a dozen others, and has had
no extra care. It is a cross from a pure
blooded Cotswold rain by a high-grade
Merino ewe, which is thought to be very
near the sheep for Montana.
MESSRs. Schwab & Zimmerman, of the
Cosmopolitan, and Messrs. Rinda & Skiow
er, of the International, served up most ex
cellent Thanksgiving dinner to their guests.
Turkey, chicken, and in fact all the luxuries
that could be reasonebly imagined under the
circumstances, were on the bill of fare. Both
houses did splendidly.-Herald.
THE teams of Marks & Patterson will
start for Carroll in a few days to bring up a
load of government stores for the troops
now stationed at Helena. It is late in the
season to attempt such a trip, but none are
more capable of accomplishing such a task
than are these gentlemen. We predict the
return of the train in good time.
THE pay in Allen & Jacoby's bar dig
gings is improving as they go lurther into
the hill. Last week they drove their tun
nel thirty feet, and the clean-up was euf
fileintto warrant good wages diggings. The
gold is much the same as that found in
Hampton's grass-root diggings. The largesi
piece yet found weighs seven dollars.
WE hear considerable complaint of late
about the records of the District Court. It
is thought that they should be kept within
the county, and most of our citizens concur
in this belief, but we suppose the Clerk of
the Third Judicial District thinks differently.
We learn that an effort will be made to have
the records returned and kept in the county.
AMONG the many Meagher county tax
payers who have visited the County Treas
urer the past week, we have noticed the fol
lowing substantial farmers and stock grow
ers of the Missouri valley : C. Bar Smith,
Anthony Sharp, H. Rosenbaum, Lee Ster
ling, Martin Treppe, G. C. McFadden, John
Lloyd, Jacob Powers, Mark Shelley, and
ichael Driscoll.
SMITH river's rustling stock-grower, L. D.
Burt, dropped in to see us last week. He
has been unusually busy since his last pur
chase building sheds, corralls. dwelling,
etc. Has improved two ranches. one on
Cammas creek and the other on Thompson.
At each place the improvements are sub
stantial and built with a view to pernianen
ey. These ranches are on the finest range
on Smith River valley. Mr. Burt has di
vided his flock and is now occupying both
places.
Tres. lead lately discovered by the Warner
Bros. in Magpie gulch promises to be one of
the best in the Territory. Besides being
very rich in copper, it assays $30 in gold and
$17 in silver per ton. and has developed to
. a vein of seven feet of paying ore. Not be
. ing able to sink on the lead on account of
i wateir, the owners have commenced a tun
3 nel to strike the lead on a 105 feet level.
r Those acquainted with the country assure
i us that the lndications are that it is a true
y fissure vein. It crops out of the ground for
it half male.
THE County Commissioners held a thrCe
dlrys' session this week. We will publish a
a full account of the proceedinge in our next t
issue. 1
THE Canyon Ferry dance for Christmas C
Eve is to come off as announced last week.
The advertisement will appear in our next
issue. It is to be a grand affair. Don't for
get it. The elite of Diamond and the Mis
souri valley will be in attendance.
A RECENT letter from Avalanch guloh
says: Shannon, Cox & Co. will reach bed
rock with their drain this week, Senter &
Co. are taking out good wages, Busold,
Basey & Co. are running a cross drift, and
receiving tavorable prospects therefrom.
J. H. SEVERANCE, a friend of J. O. Hus
sey. recently arrived from Boston. Hle has
means at his command and intends invest
ing in stock. We are glad to know that he
is delighted with Montana, and will move
his family out in the spring. Our cattle sur
prise him, and he declares that he can drive
finer and better Shorthorn stock from our
ranges than are to be found in many of the
prize breeding stable in the neighborhood
of "the Hub."
FRANK GAUGLER, the enterprising stock
miaii and merchant of the'Muscleshellvalley,
made a visit to the CapiLol last week. He
was the first, merchant to commence busi
ness, the Iirst farmer to raise a crop, and
the first stock raiser to make a permanent
home and procure government title to` land
on the Muscleshell valley. HIis location is
near where the Carroll road turns oft to the
Judith Gap, close to the forks of the Mius
cleshell river, and is a very pretty place. He
has recently taken up 160 acres as a home
stead, and 640 acres under the desert land
act.
A NUMBER of the good people of Diamond
met at the school house last Sunday after
noon to organize a Sunday School. The
organization was easily effected, and bids
fair to be well sustained. There is no better
institution than a well regulated Sabbath
School, and many a man owes his greatness
to lessons learned there. We trust that the
ladies of town will take a more lively inter
est. The young men seem disposed to do
their part. Dr. A. L Davison, who was
chosen Superintendent, is a gentleman of
,considerable experience in conducting these
schools, is an earnest worker, and will do
all in his power to carry the good work for
ward, and should have the hearty support
of the entire community.
PURSUANT to notice. on the afternoon of
the 3d inst., the County Clerk, in the pres
ence of the Board of County Commission
