X B. Campbell, iron work ................ IA5OO
These were rejected by the Secretary of
the Interior. because none Of the proposals
for the entire wing fell within the amount
appropriated-$40,000 With these pro-
posal of Mcssrs Senior & McBurney was
also submitted, proposing to build the wing,
ona modified plan, for 500, 400, but the
notifications were not all approved by the
Secretary. With these bids Commissioner
Mitchell also forwarded series of modifi.
cations, the following of which arc approved:
But one tier of cells required to bc built
under the present plan-13 to be prison cells
and one for bath room. The iron stairways,
galleries, ETC., very expensive items, being
thus dispensed with. -....-.
The former requirement to use hydraulic
cement, is also revoked. .rr
~ Otherwise tho detailed plans and 'spccifi.
cations arc about the same as before. 1t is
now probable that the building can he con-
structed inside the sum appropriated. Avery
important fact In this connection Is the stone
quarries recently opened by Messrs Pembcr-
ton & Kelley, about 81 miles from Deer
Lodge. 1t is the. best building stone we
have seen III Montana, very easy to quarry,
and comes out almost ready to be laid in
the wall without further dressing. Mcssrs.
Pembcrton s Kelley have now over 800 tous
delivered opposite their store in Deer Lodge.
1t has been taken out by two men, one
doing all the quarrying and helping load,
while the other hauls three 2-ton loads per
day to town, with ohc span of horses The
character Of road, and facilities for quarry
ing, can bc judged from these facts. Three
quarrics are now opened. the heaviest strip
ping, so far. being four feet. The ledge is
about five feet thick. and the Quarrying is
done without blasting The rock is fine.
grained, with thin transverse veins Of flint,
