figure, from three To fOur hundred tDousand
dollars by their enterprise Not only would
all this extensive mining region of the Park
be worked through the InstrumentalIty OF
this ditch, but Grizzly, Orc Fino and Nelson
Clutches would be completely stripped OF their
/ gold by means of bed rock fumes which would
be started, and numerous dry gulches, bat lit
| tie thought of az present, would be made to
| yield good returns. The most available point
from which to bring the proposed ditch
would be from Ten Mile Creek
i Honest" thinks that with such an enterprise
/ completed, mining could be extensively and
proftabIy prosecuted in the region referred to
\ for twenty years come, and that during all
/ that time, the ditch company would realize
y large dividends, the claim owners obtain good
returns, aud the wealth of Montana and HeIe
ma be increased. Ihesuhject Is certainly worth
attention, and we hope that parties may be
i found To at least consider the feasibility of
I the construction of the proposed new ditch.
Should they have any doubt as to the state
ments have made, they assure them
selves of their truth by visiting the region
mentioned aud doing little prospecting for
selves

THE New BUMDING-The PosT is

adorned with the finishing touches in first
class style. The first story is devoted to the
business Office and editorial rooms, the second

third story is occupied a composing room.
All of these departments are connected with

manner. We shall be happy to receive calls
from our numerous friends, and show them
over our new quarters.
