The FIorentine Hotel, Chattanoo-
ga, which solicits the patronage OF
the travelling public through our
columns to-day, is not only the most
convenient to the passenger depot,
but it is first class in all its depart
ments, and at less cost to the visi-
tor than at other hotels of like cha
racter. The Messrs. Stops have ex-
perience in the management, and
with our young friend, Joe Brown,
of Jonesboro, and Mr. NJ H. Brooks
in the office, nothing is left undone
that will contribute to the comfort
of the guest.

MINING NOTES,

The Alice mine at Butte has paid $500, 900
| in dividends to date.
| Lots in Gold Run are going of rapidly. Il
is destined to be the Butte Of Northern Mon
| tana.
Claims In the New England mining dis
| trict are occasionally filed for record with
Judge Tattan
Superintendent Foss of the Smelter COM
paDy says there are some Of the richest n5nes
in the world in the Barker district
The fire brick for the smelter at Baykes
were brought up on the Rosebud and a5s
now en- route to the mines. That enterprise
will be in running order in about month
Gold Run is having veritable boom. Lots
are going off rapidly and there are now
thirteen houses in course Of erection. Jim
Matkins, the Recorder of the town, has been
in Benton for the past few days and is al
most constantly besieged by parties wanting
lots. The choice locations will soon be
picked up.
Rev. BIackiston, Of this city, has secured
some lots in Gold Run for church purposes.
The miners promise to unite some day and
put him up handsome hewed log structure to
have services in. This is wonderful piece
of religious enthusiasm fer mining camp.
But it may not be many years until more
pretentious church spire is raised in Gold
Run

MONTANA MATTERS.

Eggs are plenty in Butte at thirty cents
dozen.
Fifty new recruits are on their way to as
sinaboine.
The Presbytery Of Montana viii meet in
Bozeman on the 18th inst.
The new and elegant court house at Boze-
man is now occupied by the county officials.
! The Helena and Butte mines have arranged
for match game at the former place on the
| 25th inst.
| Forty seven thousand pounds Of wool were
sheared by the Smith Bros. from 1916 head
of sheep this season.
a party OF French capitalists are at Butte
examining the Lexington mine with the view
of purchasing that splendid property.
Nearly 100000 sheep from Washington
Territory have been driven through HALEY
this season bound for Montana, where they
will fatten for Eastern markets.-ReraAs.
There is talk of pushing the Utah g North
ern rosd through to Helen this season so as
to get in ahead of the Northern Pacific A
little competition is good thing even, In
railroad building.
One hundred tourists are expected from
Pittsburg, Pa, to make tour of explorations,
through the National park during the month.
More than fifty persons are now taking, In.
sights of Wonderland.
The estimated length OF the proposed Mul-
len tunnel is 3,400 feet and the psobable.
cost Of construction. $500, 600 But the North
ern Pacific folks have not yet decided that
they will dig the big hole.
The Independent is authority for the state
ment that the western end Of the Northern
Pacific road will be advanced this year to
point within 225 miles of Helena. Another
seasons work will easily fill that gap.
The Dillon Tribune reports that J. F. Bish-
op, of that county, sheared TOO lbs. OF wool
from eight sheep, one fleece alone weighing
twenty three pounds. Can't some of our
Choteau or Meagher county sheep men tell
a bigger one?
Extensive preparations are being made for
the Territorial fair which begins on the 26th
