Property Cleaned Out and $65

One Shipment.
The Iron Mask mine at Hassel ha
been reopened by James Jobb and his
associates. The old shaft has been
cleaned out and retimbered to the level
at a depth ol' 245 feet from the sur
face. Not much drifting has been
done north on this level, but the vein
has been worked for 200 feet to the
south. This vein has been cleaned out,
exposing a wide vein with streaks

There is said to be lots of ore in
the property good for values up to
nine and even to fifteen dollars a ton,
which will concentrate nicely but from
which a shipping product cannot be
easily made by sorting.
In doing the cleaning out and re
opening enough ore was taken out t<
make a Finall shipment. This gave i
net return of $6t a ton.
Mr. Jobb was In the city several
days lately endeavoring to make ar
rangements for a pump and necessary
money for fuel with which to un

old shaft goes down a little more than
100 feet deeper and it is estimated that
$1.000 will easily unwater the mine
to that depth.

IN A BITTER ROW
Diary of a Pioneer, Nicholas
Hilger, Brings Out Some
Spicy History.
It was partly the result of the first
political fight in Montana that the
name of Edgerton county—after the
first governor— was changed to the
name it bears today — Lewis and
Clark.
Sidney Edgerton came to Montana
from Idaho where he was chief Jus
tice to become the firpt governor
and at Banna* k he issued a procla
mation ordering an election of mem
bers of the legislature.
When Edgerton county was creat
ed, the governor nominated a set of
county officers, and the nominati
were confirmed by the territorial
senate or council. Among these v
J. B. Stewart, Judge; G J. W«
sheriff; Henry Eastman, clerk
recorder.
Hilger's Diary.
The diary of Nicholas Hilger con
tains an interesting account of the po
litical difficulties that began in this
ounty at once, which has never been
previously published. It appears that,
after making the appointment of
above-named officials. Governor Edg
rton was not wholly satisfied with
ils selection of a county clerk and
ecorder, and as a result, the gov
ernor's* nephew, Colonel Sanders, who
was acting In the capacity of secretary
to the governor, appeared at the re
order's office at Silver City and de
manded possession of the records of
the county. He was accompanied bv
one H. Harding, who produced an
appointment as recorder signed by the
governor.
Declines to Yield.
Clerk and Recorder Henry East
man declined to yield the office and
records. This happened in April, 1865,
and the same month the county com
missioners, consisting of Malcolm
Clarke, A. J. Wells ami J W Rhodes
met and refused to recognize th
legality of Harding's appointment b
the governor and ordered Eastman to
retain the office and records.
When the commissioners refused t<
recognize Harding, Colonel Sander
proceeded to secure a writ of man
damus from a local court, and Sheriff
Wood forcibly took the records and
delivered them to Harding, who then
took possession of the office. Gov
ernor Edgerton then announced the
appointment of a new set of county
commissioners, consisting of Lee
Markham, who refused to serve and
was succeeded by Cornelius Hedges.
J. C. Sanders and Dan Carpentier
This board of commissioners organ
ized at Silver City, and for some week
two sets of county commissioners wer
transacting business.
Rump Board Disbands.
Eastman did not give up the fight,
however, and took the case up to the
territorial court at its first session in
September. 1865, and a decision was
given by Judge Munson In favor of
Kastman and against Harding. As a
result the "rump" board of county
commissioners disbanded and Harding,
who had collected some $6,000 In fees
while acting as clerk, left the territory.
