.ryas. Independent, 1h. s.s
Private telegraphic adviees convey the I'M
welcome news that orders have been issued
from headquarters directing that the Military
Post at Fort Hrnton be abandoned on May
31st, and that Colonel Moale and his com
mand shall, on that day, leave Benton for
TT Shaw, there to remain I'm II further or
ders !? i. ,t 4
We are not informed what reasons exist
for the. abandomnent.,of Fort, Benton N q
military post. Certainly there are many rea-
sons why the post should be- continued The
presence of n small force Of the military has
been great protection, not only to Benton,
but to the exposed settlements on the Nilsson
ri, Teton, Marias, Highwood. Shonkin and
other valleys by which It In surrounded. And
while protecting IL, II has In many ways ma
terially assisted In giving prosperity to the
town of Renton. We understand that for
rent OF buildings alone the government has
paid annually to the citizens Of our sister
city several thousand dollars. Officers and
soldiers have purchased large amounts OF
supplies In the town. and In many ways, d.
rectly and indirectly, Benton has been bene-.
fitted blythe presence OF the single company
80 long stationed there. The order referred
TO is much to be regretted and we trust itmay
yet be recalled.

Something that. May be Utilized by Our
..at Placer Miners.

The Bay City plating works of San Fran
cisco, have invented what's termed swinging
plates for saving float gold, which can be at
tachcd TO sluices. The amalgamating plates
are silver-plated first, the same ~ the ordina
nv plates in use In quartz. mills. The Scien-
tifc and Mining Press says that the swinging
plate consists of a curved strip of silver-plated
amalgamated plate, about three iuches deep,
and the width of the sluice or fume In which
IT In to be used. 1T is swung on eyes, through
which passes n wire rod, resting on the edges
of the sluice. The plate thus hangs trans
versely 10 the .current, with Its concaye sur
face up stream, the plate being half submerg-
ed. The movement of the water will keep
the plate swinging The floating PARTICLES Of
gold cannot escape touching the plate and
are caught on the quicksilyered surface.
1t In found in practice that across the sluice
Immediately under each swinging plate is
formed line Of .amalgam, which has drop
ped from the plate az it accumulated. The
gold which IL caught on the plates il thus
saved. These plates are hung in sluices, .
few feet apart. Very wide ones have been
made for the sluices Of hydraulic mines. The
plates cost so little, and are 80 effective, that
they have come into extensive use In very
short time.

Plunkett Dramatic Company.

The above company continued their series
of performances in O'Neill's Theatre until
Saturday night having played Ave evenings
and the last being the largest house they had.
Mrs. Plunkett's Kathleen Mapourneen and
Lefty Isabel and Madame ZINE in East Lynne
and Mr.. Overton's and Mr.. O'Keefes charac-
terizations in The Ph0nix were Of their best
renderngs. They went from here to Butte
where they have been doing an excellent
business. The personal character anddeport-
ment Of the company, and the thoroughly
business-like integrity of the management
added much to the good impression made by
their acting. The company Is too large to
make the tour of the Territory a. the towns
are now populated, with financial success.
But there In ield here for Manager Punk
EFT. BY establishing headquarters In Helena
and Butte, be could reduce the numbers and
expenses, strengthen his company In some
respects, and with occasional visits to Access
s,bIe towns maintain y constant and profta-
BILE season In Montana. The combination
system is going out Of vogue and the plan Of
stars and stock companies succeeding. We
think Manager Plunkett would do well In
Montana under any circumstancestexce
snow drift and We would Be Pleased 70 see
him ut the head OF the dra,natio hasiness In
the Territory.

NAVIGATION OF THE HELL GATE.
Fred Begeman Demonstrates Its PractieabiIity
with q Side Wheeler.

Fred Begeman, former ly of Pioneer. and
known az one Of the best rusters In the coun-
try, owns ranch on the He'll Gate at Mouth
Of Lower Warm Spring Creek. He started
from Pioneer for the ranch Tuesday last on .
two wheeled cart drawn by lively colt of the
cayuse species. He logged along nicely down
Gold Creek and up the river until he reached
the site Of the old Bailey Bridge" which
was washed out some years ago Here he drove
into the ford, but just wuen the cclt should
have settled down to steady business he be-
came unmanageable and excited. The re-
result was lie lost his footing, was swept I'M
der and down the stream carrying Begeman
along. The latter held on to the lines and to
the seat OF the vehicle, which was attached
to the axle. Bumpity-bump, over bonIders
and bars and among the alders and trees went
man, horse and cart, the food whlrling them
along at lively rate, Begeman bracing him
self M best he could and keeping his impro-
vised side-whe-ler right side up through all,
but without any reasonable chance to escape.
Opposite the Mouth OF Gold Creek,a mile or
the like below where the fording had been
attempted, the Northern Pacific survey par
ty, now cross-sectioning, had established
camp, and ~ he came In hail of this, Fred
set up series ofyells that discounted mar
row gauge whistle. Fortunately the cook
was in camp, heard the racket, ran out to the
bank with lariat, and giving it graceful
turn or two dropped the loop over Fred and
stood pat for . snubbing post. As 1t caught
him, Fred tumbled over the side OF his ark
and in . few seconds was on shore--nearly-
choked to death though, ~ the lariat had
caught him around the neck and between
that and the water he was nearly strangled.
The horse was drowned. Fred says If 1t had
not been Friday he would not have resisted
fate, but he didn't propose, having escaped
drowning. to be hanged In the middle Of the
week. Tommy McTague, to whom we are
indebted for the main incidents OF the above,
says Fred IL thoroughly convinced ofthe nav
liability Of the He'll Gate, but thinks craft
with the paddle wheels set,higher on the hull
and the tiller ropes disconnected, with the !.
forward end OF the motive power would be ]
IN Improvement on q cart and cay,lse. Well,
we congratulate Fred In escaping from what
was evidently . dangerous adventure.

IMPORTED TREES AND sHRUssERY
The Experiment Here and Elsewhere.

-
Mr.. Youngs, OF Smiths Geneva Nurseries,
returned Monday from Missoula where he
delivered a large number of trees shrubs, etc,
from w. & =. Smiths Geneva Nurseries
From newspaper and private advices 1t seems
the imported trees and shrubs have done bet
ter In every other valley In Montana than In
this which appears too cold or high. Nearly
all ornamental and all shade trees, except
Norway Naples, winter kill here. Wegeiias,
aitheas, cornis, snow-bali, wisteria and other
shrubs have been generally lost. Lilacs and
some Of the harder roses do well and cur
rants, gooscberries, raspberres, crab apples
and exceptional other fruits, give promise of
success; but as n general thing the expert
ment, which was tried here to the extent of
several thousand dollars, with much care ia
ken, has not been encouraging. We think
the failure was due Mt least TO some extent to
he planting ha wing been done late last spring
and the winter setting In severe several
weeks earlier than usual, before the growth
hal time TO mature or the roots to get good
growth II this was a principal cause IL win
likely be demonstrated this year. We may
reasonably anticipate an average good season
the trees were brought earlier and quicker,
and have been rs rule superior to those
brought last year. Should this years plant
Ing do well, or those trees OF last years plant
Ing now apparently beyond hope revive and
grow, 1t would be encouragement to our peo-
pie with whom the cost If 1t can be made
success is secondary consideration; but, If
the two years trial fails we will have 10 rely
on native trees for our foliage and foreigners
for our fruits. This will be the greater source
ofregret from the fact that the Messrs. Smith
and their representatives, Messrs Goodhue
and fonngs, have been very pleasant gentle
men to deal with. We are glad our neigh
DORIS have been more successful than we have.
