Mr. Inglis left Holt county about five years ago, becoming scared by the drouth and democratic times and moved to Iowa, settling near Marshaltown where he is at present conductiug a wa gon shop and is prospering. He was greatly pleased at the improved con dition of every thiDg in this section and was of the opinion that Holt county people, being so prosperous would soon renounce populism. We believe he is | right. I HONT tlEVAT>ON *»»rT 0"»«* 1*9$ The above cat represents St. Mary’s Convent, now being bluilt in this city. The building will be twenty feet longer than the cat shown, the plans having been altered, after the profile of the building was made by the architect. The building is being built by the Sisters of St. Frances and when completed will be one of the finest school buildings in the state. The structure will contain four school rooms located on the first and second floors. The basement has a ten foot ceiling, eight feet above the ground; the ceiling of the first floor is twelve feet and on the second eleven. In addition to the three enumerated will be the dormitory located in the roof which will be sufficient to accomodate 100 pupils with sleeping appartments. It is the intention to have it completed by Sept. 1, but it is doubtful if the work can be finished by that time. The cost is estimated at 130,000, the front being built of pressed brick. The Pleasant Valley Sunday school and Good Templars lodge gave a picnic in Spindler’s grove last Saturday which was a success socially and financially. About $20 were raised for the relief of the India famine sufferers. Mrs. Jenn ette Taylor, of this city delivered a very interesting and instructive temperance leeture. Justin MeCarthy and Miss Margaret Heenan were united in marriage last Tuesday morning by Father Opava at the Catholic church. Mr. and Mrs. Mc Carthy left for the east on the Short Line for a short wedding tour, after which they will be at home in this city to their many friends. The Frontier wishes them happiness. The “comedy of errors” published in the basement up street stated iu its last issue that C. H. Dietrick, of Omaha, the architect who drew the plans toj the convent was in the city the first of the week. We did not know that the repub lican candidate was an architect, having an office in Omaha, but the changing of a couple of initials in a man’s name is a trifling blunder compared to some that sheet makes. The convention held at the Metho dist church last week was in every way a complete success. Over one hundred delegates and visitors were present. The sessions were all interesting, and the papers and discussions instructive. The lectures by Dr. Schell and Rev. Ishida were well attended,and thorough ly appreciated. A special feature of the program was the song service, solos and duets. S. K. Warrick was reelected president* The next annual convention will be held at Tilden. These conven tions are growing in interest and power each year as the young people come to appreciate their advantages. Omaha Bee, July 14: “John F. Gun thorpe, editor and owner of the Bruns wick Herald, and Miss Alta Weltou, daughter of ex-sheriff Welton of Holt county, Nebraska, were married Wed nesday afternoon by Judge Vinsonhaler. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Bruck, 508 South Twenty-fourth street, who acted as groomsman and bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs. Gunthorpe left yesterday for Brunswick where they will reside.” The bridal couple arrived in O’Neill Thursday evening and visited with the baide’s mother and sisters until Monday when they left for their home at Bruns wick. The Frontier wishes the young couple much joy and hopes that “pied” forms, and “shooting irous” will be an unknown quantity in the neighborhood of this happy domicile. Exchange: The janitor in a neigh boring school threw up his job the other day. When asked what was the troub le, he said. “I’m an honest man, and I won’t stand being slurred. If I find a pencil or handkerchief about the school when I’m sweeping, I hang, or pnt it up. Every little while the teacher, or some 0 te that is too cowardly to face me, will give me a slur, Why, a little while ago 1 seen wrote on the board, ‘Find the least common multiple’. Well, I looked from cellar to garett for that multiple; and I wouldn’t know the thing if I saw it on the street. Last night, in big wri tin’ on the blackboard, it said, ‘Find the greatest common divisor. Well,’ l said to myself, ‘both of them things are lost now, and I’ll be accused of swipin’ 'em, so I’ll quit. OABTOTIIA. Bears the The Kind You Hats Always Boughl “TT (&/&%&&< P. C. McCarthy Makes a Stake. A Denver paper has the following ac count of the sale of an interest in the Hidden Treasure mine at Lake City, Colo., in which P, C. MoCartby, former ly of this city, is interested. Tue Fron tier is pleased to see that its old friend and neighbour is prospering and hopes that he wilt soon be able to retire from active labor with a competence Bufti cient for him to enjoy all the luxuries of life. The mine mentioned in the follow ing article is only one among the many good mining properties in whiob P. C. isinteresred : A New York syndicate has bought a three quarter interest in the gre^t Hid den Treasure group of mines at Lake City for $300,000 The deal was com pleted yesterday afternoon in the offices of T. J O'Donel! and Milton Smith. The final papers were passed which transferred the title *of the Hidden Treasure group of mines at Lake City from the Hidden Treasure Miniug and Milling company a corporation hereto fore controlled by Cbauncey E Dewey, a mining engineer, with offices in the Boston block, with whom were associa ted his brother, Mr. David Dewey of Georgetown, and his father-in-law. Mr. Forbes of the firm of Forbes & Strom berg, tbe latter being president of tbe Hidden Treasure Mining and Milling company, to the Hidden Treasure Mine and Tunnel company, a corporation whose papers were filed in the office of tbe secretary of slate and tbe county clerk and recorder yesterday. Tbe incorporators of tbe new company appear as Charles H. Otis, T. J. O'Dou ell and P. C McCarthy, and the direct ors as Charles H. Otis, William A. Har kins, Heury Boyce Clark, P. C. McCar thy an I Sanford H. Steele. Mr. P. C. McCarthy is one of the original owners of tbe property, and with Jobu McCombe, the well-known miner, re tains his interest. Messrs. Sanford H. Steele and Chains H. Otis c.m-titute the firm of Steele & O is, leading lawyers of New York city, with offices at 33 Liber ty street Mr. Otis took personal charge of the business details connectec with the transaction. The other directors are connected with the law office of 1'. J. O’Douell and Milton Smith. Mr. O'Donell lias been elected presi dent of the new company. He and Mr. Otis left for Lake City lest evening. Mr. O’Donell declined to discuss rbe price of tbe property or give tbe names of the parties interested further than they appear in tbe papers, stating that he himself was only interested in a pro fessional capacity. From another source, however, it was learned that a three quarters interest in the property—being all except the inter est of McCombe and McCarthy—had been purchased on the basis of a valua tion of the property at something over $300,000 and that the full price f >r the three quarters interest was paid to Mr. Dewey and his associates by a certified check on the First National bank of Denver. There has been litigation pending in the district court at Lake City since last February between McCarthy and Mc Combe aud the former owners of the three-quarters lutereBt. The case was to have been tried June 30, but was set tled by the purchase as above. Messers. O’Donell aud Smith represented the McCarthy and McCombe interests in this litigation. William A. Farish of this city and Dr. A R Ledeux, a noted expert of New York city, examined the property, and upon their reports the purchase was made. The property adjoins the cele brated Die and Ulay mines understood to have paid for tbe year 1899 a profit of over $100,000. It is low grade, silver and gold propos'tiou with a 100-ton con centrating mill run by water power on Henson creek, connected with tbe mine by wire tram. Tbe water power also furnishes power for air dr.lls and elec tric motors which run tbe hoist and oth er machinery. This property whs purchased by Dew ey and his associates about two _\ ears ago for $33,000. They erected a mill on Henson creek which will treat 100 tons a day and tbe mine has paid regular dividends from the start. The concen trates are very high grade and run high in lead, finding a ready market. Democratic Convention.
