Rich ore strikes spark railway and creek mining boom
Reports from the Lardo-Duncan Railway near Housar Lake describe blasting revealing a ledge of ore valued at about 1600 per ton with an assay to follow. Hennessey brothers report a twelve foot galena ledge at Midge Creek, near Noble Five, potentially valuing the property at hundreds of thousands. Local interest and bonds are being pursued as ore samples and assays come in amid other promising claims around Fort Steele and Ainsworth.

Society Gossip Sparks Engagement Rumors in Cowes
Cowes, Aug. 4. Lieut. Churchill denies his mother Lady Randolph Churchill's engagement to Lieut. G F Cornwallis West, brother of Princess Henry of Pless, a topic of much talk among friends. Neither Lady Randolph Churchill nor the other party has been seen since the report. A Ferland & Co. has sold its crockery and hardware stock in London and will now focus on dry goods, clothing, boots, and shoes.
