He Lost $4,000.

Mr.. j. w. Patrick says this glorious
weather has occasioned him q loss of
$50, 900, and this IS the way he explain it !:
Last fall he discovered Q new mining dis
trict in the neighborhood Of his Belt Park
ranch. He just had time to prospect enough
to ascertain that the leads arc large and we'll
defined, carrying a high grade of ore, when
the snow came and caused him to cease oper-
atoms. Hethen came to town, supposing
that the foot Of man would not find it's way
through the deep nov into his bonanza field
and until o few days ago he rested II perfect
security. Then be learned that the had
disappeared and that every lead in bis new

given by the Benton Quadrille Band, which
will be held at the Choteau House to-mor-
row, (Thursday) evening. 1t was originally
intended to have it on Friday evening but as
il twas found that night inserfered with the
school exhibition, the band boys, ever &C
commodating, changed their date to Thurs
day. It will, no doubt, judging from the
last party, be a very pleasant affair. Supper
win be provided by mine host Sullivan, and
that is all that is necessary to be said in that
connection.

Chess m aa Valley

Mr. J. G. Kerley, who recently paid q visit
to the Chestnut valley in the interest of the
Independent, has the following in a late issue
Of that paper:
Chestnut valley contains q population Of
$50 adults and a fright smart sprinkling" Of
children. II is settling up rapidly. The i'm
provements are Of a superior class, betoken-
ing thrift, enterprise and refinement to 9 de-
gree considerably in excess Of most Montana
valleys. AS yet but little attention has been
given to agriculture, yet it is only q question
of time when it will rank among the fore
most in that particular.

New School Building.

1t is generally admitted that the present
school building is not large enough for the
accommodation {. the children Of the dis
trict and steps should be taken il time for the
erection Of a new and handsome building
nett season. Miss FiDnegan has so or 20 pu-
pills in her room and it is impossible to do
justice to such a large number, and few
teachers could succeed as well as Miss Fin
negan does. Next year the number of schol-
ars in the district will be largely increased
and unless a new building is erected the
Board will find it necessary to rent other
quarters. A light tax levy would raise the
money necessary to build the new house and
the progressive people Of schoolDistrict No.
| would readily consent to pay it. Then, let
as have a new school building.

school Examinations.

On Monday and Tuesday of this week the
examination of the pupils of School District
No. l were held at the school house. Many
parents and friends of the school were pres
ent and manifested much interest in the pro-
gress of the pupils. The distribution Of the
prizes took place on Tuesday evening,
on which occasion the room was filled. The
prizes, which had been awarded by q COM
mlttee, consisting of II. r. Buck, T. E. Col
Inns and Jno. w. Tattan, were presented to
the children by the latter, who, previous to
the presentation, spoke at some length to the
pupils and parents on the subject of a graded
school for this district. The Judge said that
the present school house was entirely made
quate to accommodate the large number Of
scholars, and the crowded state Of the two
rooms made it doubly hard for the teachers.
The district needed a graded school and more
teachers. He said that there was about
SIS, 600 in the school fund, and that a special
tax OF five mills on the assessable property
of the district would raise the additional SIS,
600, and he hoped that some steps would be
taken at once looking to the erection of such
q school. The prizes were then distributed
as follows:
