The Deep Greek Coal Mine.

Max Waterman returned Thursday
from the Deep creek coal mine. He re-
ports that first-class road to the mine
has been made, making the distance
from Benton only so miles, and that ar
rangements are already perfected for
having the coal delivered in Benton.
They have about 400 tons on the dump,
and will, if possible, have all of this de-
livered in this city before winter sets in.
The Deep creek coal is acknowledged
the best yet found in Montana, and it
will have aSready sale in this market.
Mr.. Waterman infoIms us that he has
taken up fine ranch On Deep creek,
and in few days will move his family
on it. He has made considerable inn
provements on the ranch already.

Fast Track Laying.

A correspondence from the west end
of the Canadian Pacific r. r. gives the
following account of the fastest track
laying on record
During the week ending July 9th, "a
miles 1000 yards of track have been
added to the main line of the Canadian
Pacific west; Oh Tuesday, July Sd,
miles l, l8O yards were laid, and on Sat-
urday, the 7th, 6 miles and 40 yards
On neither day was any extra prepara-
ton made, and the same force was at
work both days. The latter was laid in
fourteen working hours, the first three
miles being completed in six and half
hours. TWenty-four men handled the
iron, twelve unloading off cars and re-
loading on trolleys, and the same num-
Der laying it. Three iron cars were
used, and as fast as one was loaded and
run back until met by loaded trolley,
it was tilted off the track and the load
ed truck run by, as is usual every day.
The twelve rear ironcar men unloaded
and reloaded 2, 100 rails 1904 tons) during
the day, and the five men on each side
Of the front car laid down 1000 rails
1902 tons) each, while the two distribut-
ors of angle plates and bolts, and adjust
ers of the rails for running out over the
rollers handled 2,120 rails, 4, 24O plates
and 8,4S0 bolts; fifteen boilers followed,
and on an average put on 565 bolts each;
then thirty-two spikers, with nipper
to each pair, who drove $500 spikes,
which were distributed by four ped
dlers; the lead and guage spikers each
drove 2, 100 spikes, averaging 5000 blows
to drive them, or $40 every hour.

Steamboat tor the Missouri Above the
Falls.

We were shown to-day the drawings
of small steamboat which Governor
Crosby ordered while in the east to be
built for himself and other gentlemen
to be used in navigating the Missouri
above the falls. Its dimensions are !:
Length, 80 feet; breadth, feet, and
will draw 10 inches of water. It is a
regular stern wheeler. It will have a
hurricane deck of light wood the sides
will be Of canvas, which can be rolled
up and down, and it has a powerful
boiler and engine. The boat will be at
Bedford by the 10th of August, where
it will be launched into the waters of
the Missouri. It will be great event
when steam navigation shall be success
fully inaugurated on the upper Missouri,
and it should be appropriately noticed
by proper ceremonies on the day when
the first steamboat shall be baptized in

The Benton Branch.

Engineer Grant started out this fore
noon for preliminary examination of
the country between here and the Bull
| mountains. He will return in a few
! days and take out force Of engineers
and 60 over the ground, and on his and
Col. Clough's report we understand the
location of the Benton branch will be
finally determined The people Of this
town have good deal more confidence
in Col. Clough and Mr.. Grant than they
have in some other engineers who have
run lines with the Ostensible purpose Of
finding the most favorable one for the
Benton branch. Neither Of these gen
tlemen have any axes to grind, and
they are not hampered with instructions
to find distractions in the way of run
ming the line from Billings, as it is said
some of their predecessors in the work
were. They are thus free to find and
report the best line, and there is no
doubt in the minds Of those who know
the country as an open book, that the
line from Billings will be the one select
Billings Herald.
The Livingston Enterprise takes this
view of the matter: 1.-The idea seems
to have gained circulation that the
branch road to be built from Billings is
the beginning of the Benton line A
road is to be built from Billings to the
Bull mountain coal fields, but that has
no reference to the Benton branch.
Nearly six months ago the building of
road to the coal fields was announced
from the New York office Of the North
ern Pacific. Since that time conflicting
interests, each having influence with the
railroad company, have advocated sta
tions other than Billings as the point of
departure, but the friends of Billings
seem to have won. But this coal road
has, we are confident, no connection
with the Benton branch, the initial
point for which we are equally persuaded
is yet undetermined. Livingston's pros
poets for yet being at one end Of a rail-
road from the Northern Pacific to Ben
ton are quite as good now as they ever
have been; and we are still strong in
the opinion that those who are anxious
to see this Benton line start from here
will have the wish granted"
