Grafton. AT the time Of our visit the wo,t'
we're running tailings which had been wos
ed by another concentrated some years oyo
and were consequently not EMPLOYING AN

a large patronage. Jefferson is the busiest
town except Butte and Pony that We have
seen. There are several new houses being
built, among which is one stone building.
There are two stores, one saloon and
butcher shop. Every house in the town
appears to be inhabited. Two lines Of daily
coaches besides the Overland are running
between here and Helena, and, all in al.
things have a lively appearance.
There are a number of cozy residences IN
Jefferson. surrounded by gardens and deco
rated with ~house-plants. The most attar

Rocbaugh, who takes a particular deightli
supplying home with the beautiful and at
