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.

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.

Fourth of July.
EAR SIR: A new Reason has begun and we think it
likely you will need something in the way of clothing
or furnishing goods before long. We are very anxious
to show you some special qualities and prices that we
think are the best we have ever had in the store. We
are positive nothing to compare with them has ever
been shown here and we would like you to examine the
goods and try on your size in some of the different
styles.
A man can go anywhere and buy a suit of clothes, but it is not
always so easy to find just what lie wants or to get a suit that will
wear well, keep its shape, feel right and look well all the time.
We sell the best clothing in the United States, positively the
best; not because we say so, but because everybody says so. It is
the Hart, Schaffuer & Marx clothing you see advertised in the
leading magazines. It is worn by good dressers in all large cities.
If you paid three times our price and had your clothes made to
measure you could not get a better fit,. H. S. & M. clothing has a
stylish cut and becoming appearance that few merchant tailors
can equal.
\Vkile we pride oursolves on the quality of everything we sell,
yet when it comes to the matter of prices wo will not be understood.
All we ask is a chance to show you personally what we can do.
Come and see ns. You are perfectly welcome whether you buy or
not. If yon are pleased with what you see here we want your
trade when you are ready to buy. Hoping to see you in the store,
we remain, Yours very truly, 1\ J. McMANUS.
