BIG JEFF.
The Leader Of Band of Horse Thieves
and how he Conducted his Opera
tiOns.
IRiver Press


A gentlemen but recently from the lower
country, and who came in contact with Big
Jeff and his band on his way to Benton,
gave River Press reporter some pointers
yesterday in reference to that well known
outlaw. jeff with band of probably a
dozen congenial companions are located at
the general crossing of the Musslesbell,
where they have rather rude and temporary
accommodations for themselves, but large
and very fine corral for their horses. Their
business pure and simple, as we are inform
ed, is to steal horses and dispose of them.
The Judith Basin, Mussleshell, Yellowstone
and Missouri valleys are their fields of opera
tions and the numerous reports of horse
stealing in these valleys 60 to indicate that
they are carrying On large and prosperous
business. When they steal an animal north
sale or sell him to some wayfarer going in
that direction, and Uice uersa, thus avoiding
to great extent any trouble from parties in
search of their animals. If officers appear
in that section the band scatters out in all
directions and have no difficulty in keeping
out of the way-but it is rarely that they
are troubled. They are desperate men, and
it would require no ordinary posse to cap
ture them. Our informant's horses were
driven off while he was passing through
that country, and he found them in Big
Jeff7s corral and recovered them. When
leaving the Mussleshell he was followed by
three men and was compelled to stand them
off with his Winchester, and he considered
himself lucky when he got out of the coun-
try in safety.

JOTTINGS OF A WANDERER.
Davis, Hauser II Co.'s Cattle Ranch
Near Fort Maginnis.

lFRoM OUR TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
Leaving Flat Willow, an all days drive
brings us to the cattle ranch of Davis,
Hauser & Co. Here we find extensive i'm
provements in the form of fenced meadows,
large corrals, and substantial buildings for
the large number of men employed. Prom
inent among the buildings is stout stock
ade notched with loopholes and supplied
with all the appliances required to stand an
Indian SIEGE Three years ago this was dan
gerous country. Fort Maginnis had not been
constructed, and it behooved the pioneer to
prepare in times of peace for the contingent
cies of war. Much to my disappointment,
Mr. Granville Stuart was not at home, but
in his stead I found Mr.. Reece Anderson,
who received me with genuine Western hos
pitality.
Three miles beyond is Fort Maginnis, oc-
cupying a beautiful location. Upon three
sides are the mighty SUBMITS OF the noun
tains, while to the east stretches away the
beautiful valley of Forge creek. Broad ex-
panses of prairie groves of cottonwood, roll
ing bench lands carpeted with luxuriant
growth of grasses, combine with charming
effect as the eye wanders down the graceful
windings of the stream. The imagination
finds little difficulty in picturing waving
grain fields, cultivated FARMS and happy
homes in this now isolated region, and the
inspiration of prophesy is not required to
predict their speedy coming.
There are five companies stationed at the
post, which is commanded by Col. f. M.
Baker, of the I'd Cavalry, who has won
proud record on the battle fields of his coun-
try. While here had the pleasure of meet
ing Lieut.. Bret, Captains Miller, Floyd and
Hinman, and Lieut.. Guy Carlton. The post
trader, Mr. G. J. Mcnamara, proved very
pleasant gentleman. His building is

The Northern Pacific's Scrip Dividend.

The Financial Committee Of the Northern
Pacific Company have decided to recommend
the declaration of scrip dividend OF 10 per
cent. on this preferred stock. Thier scrip will
be redeemable in not less than five years,
and will bear interest at 6 per cent The
recommendation of the committee, it is un-
derstood was adopted at the Directors meet
declared scrip dividend payable January l,
ing recently and that the Directors have
1883, for the total amount due on the pre-
ferred stock. The dividend is the outgrowth
of the fact that the net earnings up to per
cent. per annum belong exclusively to the
owners of the preferred stock There has
been an accumulation of surplus earnings
until the amount, as reported to the COM
mittee, aggregates $4,OO0,OOO Some of the
preferred stockholders wanted their money
The financial committee felt under obliga-
tion to pay, yet could employ the money to
advantage. AS compromising measure the
scrip dividend scheme was adopted. In effect
it restores money to the stockholders, then
borrows it from them again for term not
exceeding five years at 6 per cent. per an
mum. The scrip will amount to S4,OOOOOO,
and will be worth very nearly par. Its issue
does not add to the obligations of the road,
as interest would have to be paid on the
money anyway. It is said a cash dividend
on the preferred will be paid as early as Jan

Progress of the Northern Pacific.

Vala Wdla Statesman: Anticipating the
cold weather which comes early in the noun
tain country through which the Northern
Pacific passes on its journey East, the COM
pany is pushing work with the utmost rap
idity. For ten miles west of Missoula CITY
the grade is entirely completed, and de-
lay is now occasioned by the trouble with
the Flathead Indians, who declare that un-
less stipulated sum is paid the work can
not 60 on. The matter now is pending be-
fore the secretary of the interior. Forty-five
miles of the road runs through this reserva-
tion. Grading is going on fifty miles west
of the reservation. Track-laying is within
eighty miles of the west line of the reser-
walton. There is a large force at work be-
tween the tnnnels and the Little Blackfoot
and it is thought that by the first of Decem-
Der the grading will be entirely done between
Mullan tunnel and the end of the track 90
ing East. 1t is confidently stated that by
the 10th of December the locomotive will be
in Missoula City, and that by the first of
next March it will be all rail to Walla Wal
La and Mullan tunnel. Early in the spring
we shall be in real connection with Helena
and the East by the Utah Northern.

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Annual RepOrt.-EIectiOn
of Directors.

At the annual meeting of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, held in New
York on the 21st, the report of President
Willard was read. 1t shows the gross earn
ings of the fiscal year to be S5,43O, ,3O5; !;
operating expenses, including rents and
taxes, 1872 $40; net earnings, 81 1,587, ,465; !;
ratio of expenses to earnings, $3.50; increase
of net earnings over the previous year,
$685., 1886; average number of miles operated,
1877; increase in net earnings per mile, 1884 );
number of passengers arriving and
leaving the eastern terminus at St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and Superior
City, 106,686; increase, 1854. The earn
ings of the Eastern Division show gain of
80 per cent, and the freight movement
shows an equal percentage of increase. Dur
ing the year the end of the track advanced
from the East, 1873 miles, and from the West
1O2 miles; total 2s5, leaving on June 3d.
1872 572 miles to be built This will be
lessened by the close Of 1882 probably 300
miles, leaving 272 miles of track to be laid
after January 1888. The final connection of
tracks is expected to be made during 1888
In addition to the work done on the main
line 222 miles of track have been laid on
branches in Minnesota Dakota and Wash
ington Territory. The great bridge across
the Missouri river at Bismarck will be COM
pleted early in October.
The financial statement shows cash On
hand at the beginning of the year to be SILL
1914; receipts from sale Of bonds and pre-
ferred stock, 81, ,682, 2,0S6; expenditures for
construction, $21 ST, ,995. The expenditures
for construction are largely in excess of the
resources of the company from the net earn
ings and proceeds of bonds received from the
Syndicate, but thanks to the assistance of the
Syndicate and the Oregon & Transcontinen-
tai they were always prepared to meet all de-
mands without even borrowing in open mar
ket. The management points to the fact
that it has finished 275 miles of road grade
$50 miles additional were bought and they
have paid for sufficient rails for the entire
gap between the two ends of the line and
made besides current disbursements for mo-
tive power, rolling stock, the Bismarck bridge,
the great Bozeman and Helena tunnels, and
other heavier portions of the work without
delivering a single bond to the Syndicate
since last December, and an additional fin
ished mileage of 275 miles has just been in
spected and approved by the United States |
Commissioner, which insures immediate re-
endorsement.
The Land Department sold 465,2O8 acres
during the year for $1,7O9,33 the average
price being $3.50 per acre.
The following named persons were re-elect-
ed directors: Frederick Billings, Ashbel II. |

Moving City.

Near the end of the Northen Pacific rail-
road track, says the W ". Erents, may be
seen the largest moving city in the world
Never during the present area of railroad
building has there been witnessed such a
scene as this, which now presents itself at
the end of the track. There are at least 5000
persons, all men, except perhaps 25, and all
bent on making money. There are tents,
sfanties, caves and "wickiups" of all shapes
and sizes. Order Of regulation, SO far as streets
are concerned, there is none. The valley in
which Rock Island is situated is too narrow
for compact town site for five thousand in
habitants, hence the tents are scattered
There can be counted about fifty gin mills
or saloons, dozen general merchandising
tents and shanties. and the same number of
boarding tents.

good thing.
Sheriff Fletcher was awakened by knock
on the front door Of the Jail about 10 o'clock

No one was to be seen, but the Sheriff heard

The Remodeled Bismarck Mills.

On the eth of June five millwriGhts COM
menced the work of converting the flour
mills of Rodach & Boss at Bismarck into the
roller process, and which work was happily
completed on the 31st of July, to the great
relief OF the owners, who were naturally
growing impatient to see the mill In opera
ton again, and to know whether the product
would in quality come up to expectations.
Any one now inspecting the new mill will
realize at once that great changes have been
made and many new machines added-all
for the purpose Of making clear, clean and
fine flour, which is now being done to that
extent that it will surpass In these requisites
anything made in Southeast Missouri. On
our entrance into the mill we see two buhr
stones, two packers packing two kinds of
flour at once, a roller to grind the first puri-
fed middlings into the finest flour, innum-
cradle elevators for hosting grain to the bins
and cleaning machines; also spouts rs num-
erOus as limbs on q tree, to lower -four, bran,
middlings and grain. On ascending to the
second floor we come to the boiling chests,
purifiers and bran busters, all of which have
their functions to perform; but we must say
that the silk with which the boiling reels are
clothed are of the finest-one reel especially
has aS fine as there is made, from which the

chinery. The cleaning of the wheat is one Of
the most important items i'm the manufacture

mills are defective, as poorly cleaned wheat
makes dark and SPECIFY flour. The system

have the finish machine, a Garden City brush
which brushes from each grain of wheat all

it can be seen that every precaution has
