Editor Butte INER:
Owing to the recent warm weather and
deep SHOWS on the Gable mountains we find
it impossible to run coaches between this
place and Butte, consequently We have drawn
of the coach until the snow settles sufficient
to allow us to put them on again. The snow
is from five to ten feet deep, and so soft that
the horses break through, and in many cases
have to be shoveled out and the sleigh pulled
out by hand. Our last attempt was made on
Tuesday last with four horses, and with no
loading except one passenger and two drivers;
we started from P%hilipsburg at 4 O'Clock a. IN.
and arrived at Cable at 2 O'Clock p. M, ma
king 10 miles in 10 hours. We are now car
rving the mails OH horseback, and find it very
difficult to accomplish even this way, but by
crossing the mountains between midnight and
sun-up we have succeeded in getting through,
but cannot make the schedule time. All
passengers coming from Butte to Philipsburg
will have to come by Deer Lodge for a time

the mountain. This tramroad cost the almost
trifing sum of S475. When Mr.. Cole Saun-
ders received bids for its erection the lowest
bid received was $1,000. Some estimated it
would cost $4,000. Mr.. Rowly, the mine
superintendent, took the contract for $475
and after paying for lumber, nails, spikes,
labor, ETC., cleared $s4; a good lesson for
those who contemplate building similar roads
in the future. The tramway In question is
1900 feet in length, made Of sawed timber,
double track track ~ole-lalt of the way. The
drum is a section of a pine tree rugged like
a capstan on a steamboat, and it works like a
charm. Fueland waterfor mining abound in
the vicinity of the above described mines,
which is a great item to be AIKEN into consid-
Grafton. Everything is run on a careful and
economical plan. The company have two
good boarding houses, one at the Alta and
one at the North Pacific.
In my next l shall devote myself to a
description of the extensive reduction works
of the company. K.
