had gone to extradite a hirse-thief. The t
thief, however, has so far succeeded in
eluding the sheriff, and W. A. was forced I
to return home without his man, but the

will be able to locate him before long.
He was favorably impressed with the
town and thinks there are good prospects

of attending a sitting of the court in
town and watching the mode In which
justice is dispensed by our neighbors
across the border.-Lethbridge News.
Choteau county is comin gto the front
and a bright future awaits us. The 8

acres; the numerous small ditches now t

gate hundreds more, besides that done by
the wheel on the Missouri. The Hear
Paw, Sweet Grass and Little Rocky moult- P
talnscontain vast bodies of mineral which
is slowly but surely being brought to ti
light. The coal is sure to come to the h
front. The stock is fat in this, the stock- as
men's paradise, and this industry Is flour- d
Isliing. So, taken as a whole, Chotenu ci
county has all the necessity advantages to ti
put her name at the top of the columns al
of the tatny rich counties of prosperous tt
Montana.- Opinion. rt
The entertainment provided by Messrs.
Gerin & Davenport of the Park theatre \I
for their patrons this week far surpasses k,
anything they have presented for some gi
time. There are four new faces headed I
by Messrs Varney and Oro, the celebrated at
break-neck team. These g-ntlemen are ir
doing an act this week which must be ci
seen to be appreciated. It is entitled "An ti
Tproar in a Chinese Wash-house." They si
introduce some marvelous business in
this act, including back-flips, somersaults,
etc., the act concluding with a very funny I fr
burlesque and trapeze act. The other I
new people are Misses Ida Chester and pE
Ada lIas~ings, two ladi,.s who have got pi
some of the latest songs of the day and w
who sing them in a style that would be at
hard to beat. Besides the above all the at
old favorites, including tie Gottlobs, De- ith
varo, Hart, Nelson, Smith and Williams,! ci
Messrs Gerin and Davenport, can depend o0
upon having crowded houses nightly
with such an excellent programme. hi

about 130 miles west of Panitic .1unction
and was completed to that place the 15th
of January. Further tracklaying will be
delayed till the Immense trestle across
Cut Bank river is completed. This trestle
will be abut 1,500 feet long and one span
of it will be about 150 feet above the
bottom of the river. The river proper at
this point is not very wide, but as its
name indicates, the banks on both sides
are very steep. Mr. Armington informs
us that Palmer & Lawry, the bridge con
tractors, have already raised thirty of the

bad handling found himself out of it after

on Gleason, and after the first round he
had no show to win. I offered to fight
i Gleason, but he did not seen very anxious

to meet him before the Butte club when
it is in shape.' Billy made an exhibition
of White, the Missoula giant, in this city
early in the winter, and he is undoubted

THE VALARIA LIBRARY.
Again The Tribune calls Attention to this
Beneiteent Institution.
An institution which reflects honor on
its promoters, and is a lasting monument
to their generosity, is the new public
library building recently completed.
When it is opened to the public, in about
I two weeks, Great Falls can boast that no
other city of the same size west of the
r Mississippi has a building used exclu
Ssively for that purpose.
r It is true there are public ltiraries in a
number of western cities, but so far as
we can learn, they are in rented quarters.
Therefore Great Falls lays claim to the
honor of being the only city in Montana
that can glory in a building dedicated to

Last Sunday it became noised about
that the Baeton group of mines on Snow
creek owned by the Montana Gold, 511
har Platinum and Tellurium companj,
had been jumped by Jerry Colilt .et
on the previous night. Finding Dave
Barker, we ascertaIned that the report
was true, and on questioelag him in re.
gard to his opinlon of the matter he re
marked: "It is only a blultea ae pert
of Collins. We shall go ahead the same
as if nothing happeea."
It seems tat prior to the otganlastlon
of the new compsey Couine had been for
yearn putting up his proportioeate assar
of the repreeenling work on this group
and considering himself a one-twel
owner, but when the property was cor.
veyed to the new company by his part
ners, Mr. Collins was left out, as his
rights in the group were not duly re
corded. Just what will be the result of
this Jumping move ment we are unable to
tell.-Nelhart Herald.
The "Heuton Group" (the name by
which the lead claims located on Snow
creek, a tributary of Carpenter creek,
which runs into Beltcreek just below the
town of Nelhart, are designatedjare ac
knowledged to be the rbchest undeveloped
mines in Montana. They make a wond4r
tul surfce Alhowing and stock in the
company which controls them is con
sidered very valuable. The mines are
said to be worth millions of dollars.
The leads, the Big Snowy, Blue Cloud,
Flora, Carre and Green d; Weetherwax,
(now known as the Puck), were discov.
ered by Mr. Daniel Uutru of this city in
June 1882, now nearly nine years ago.
Mt. Dutro, who is an experienced and
lucay prospector, proposed in the early
spring of 1889 that if a party of Fort Bes
ton men would join him in the expenses
he would go to the Nelhart district on a
prospecting tour Messrs. John H. Green,
J. D. Wea'herwax, E. I. Chlion, Frank
Uoomba, Jerry Collins and Jae. E. Stev
ens-the latter two gentlemen repre
senting one interest-joined with him,
agreeing to put up money, Mr. Dutro to
do the prospecting, the Interests to be di
vided into slx equal parts, Mr. Dutro to
have one-sixth. Mr. Dutro was gone
about three months. Representative
work has been done ever since. Messrs.
Green and Clingan sold out to the late
Dr. W. E. Turner, whose widow. Mrs.
Annie E. Turner, now owns a large Inter
est in the new company, after sellIng
her holding for part cish and part stock.
Mr. Stevens sold his laterest-one.twelfth
-two his partner, Jerry Collins. Mr.
Dutro, we believe, sold his interest short
ly after the discovery to J. C. E. Barker,
who also bought Frank Coomb's interest
for cash and stock, as he did Mrs. Tur
ner's. Mr. Westherwax also sold his in
terest previous to his death.
It appears, as stated by the Herald, that
Mr. Collins' interest was "lost in the shuf
fle" when the new company was rgan
ized. After buyinor J. E. Stevens' half
interest Mr. Col lin was owner of a full
one-slrth interest, which was not recog
nized by the new company owing to some
oversight in recording the transfer.
It appears that it has been discovered
that there was some oversight or irregu
larity in ohe matter of the original loca
tion. Wo believe it Is blaimed the min
ing laws were not observed in staking,
describing and recording. However that
na to.* whole group of mines have
r.oiped and reloented, by whoa, we
. been ablc to leat i 1 Whether
Mr. (Utll,,'n' name nppiura or he is inter
I dc o ntkouw.
There is one thing certain, however,
,.sere will have to be a compromise, else
the legal contest over these wonderful
mines will be a long, bitterand expensive
one, which will probably tie them up and
prevent development and the profitable
working of them. This should le avoid
en tf possible.-River Press.
The foregoing history of-the "Benton
Group" is in the main correct. Jerry
Collins and J. E. Stevens jointly owned
a one sixth interest and the former had a
document setting forth that fact duly
recorded in the recorder's office of Aleagh
er county several years ago. After 1883
Mr. Stevens failed to pay his proportion
of the representation work and after two
or three Mr. Collins took the usual course
of "advertising him out," thus becom
ing the owner of a one-slath interest.
This interest for some unknown reason
Mr. J. C. E. Barker, who is the promoter
of the company with a long winded name,
saw fit to appropriate to himself, and if
the properties are now relocated he is
simply getting a dose of his own kind of
medicine. It is only necessary to add
further that Jetiry tCollins Is not one of
the relocators of the claims in question

It is now known beyond a doubt that

higheat tribute that we can pay to this
firm Is necessarily poor and small when
we consider what the country and the set

whole business course in the northwest
has been marked by almost prodigal gen
erot ity and kindness to those who have
done business with them. To the strug

they have never refused to extend a help

country has been enabled to tide over his

the thousands of instances in which they
have ungrudgingly helped the struggling

too well known to require that, and woods

feeling of gratitude to I. G. Baker £ Co.
