Railroad Racket.

The Northern Pacific tracklayers
were putting down rails about three
miles west of B0zeman on the 18th
inst.
The Denver & Rio Grande Rail-
way is making rapid strides toward
Ogden. The grading between that
city and Salt Lake is nearly COM
pleted.
The Bozeman Tunnel has adj
vanced nearly one hundred feet
since the last report. The break has
been repaired and the work will go
on rapidly.
The Northern Pacific Railroad has
offered to transport, free of charge,
shade and fruit trees to residents
along the line of the road who desire
to beautify their homes.
The Denver & Rio Grande has not
yet secured depot grounds at Ogden,
but there will probably be little
trouble in this respect, except to get
title to just such land as they want.
Owing to the rapid progress of the
N. P. track westward the fast freight
lire between Deer Lodge and Helena
is to be discontinued and will be
operated between end of track and
Helena.
When the Denver & Rio Grande r.
r. il completed on the main line, the
entire force of track layers and bridge
men, about 400 in all, will lay the
track between Salt Lake and Ogden.
They will be able to complete the
Ogden branch by the first of May.

An Old Timer.

Mr.. James w. Whitlach, an old
time Montanian, and now a resident
Of Brooklyn, New York, favored the
MINER office with a pleasant call
last evening. There are but few told
timers" in Montana who do not
know Mr.. Whitlach. AS a quartz
miner aud operator in quartz he did
more in the early days Of the Terri
tory to create an interest and inspire
confidence in that department of
mining than any other man who
ever lived in it.
The great Whitlach-U Union mine
at Unionville, near Helena, the i'm
1nense output of which was a power
full factor. in bracing up Helena DUR
ing the first years of her existence,
was discovered and brought into no.
tee by this indefatigable prospector.
Jim" as he is familiarity called by
his old time associates, is a bonanza
within himself, and wherever he
makes a 'strike" whether in the
low ranges which scarcely rise above
thesage brush plains of Nevada or in
the grand old mountains of Col
orado, awakens the sleepy sur
roundings to activity and
life. MI. Whitlach visits Butte for
the purpose of examining the quartz
properties here with the view to in
vest, if advantageous terms can be
made. He is highly impressed with.
the stability and richness of our
mines and speaks in fattering terms
of Butte. AS MI. Whitlach is a
mining expert in every sense of the
term, praise from him carries a value
which will be recognized elsewhere.
We wish "Jim" c and hope he
may find it to his interest to settle
permanently in our midst.

Hovev fell from the al and was
thus mangled and instantly killed.

A Wolf met a nice, ender Goat in
a quiet retired spot OH the Mountain
one Day, in the soft summer time,
aud Immediately picked up his Knife
and Fork and began looking over
the Bill of Fare.
"What would you do ?" asked the
Goat, with much trepidation.
II would discover what. sort Of a
Layout this Caravansary can
spread" replied the Wolf.
"Are there no Fire Escapes" in
quired the Goat.
II do not Know, nor do I care, as
I expect to take but one Meal here"
"But-but-," stammered the Goat.
Jaw, don't but me-" answered the
Wolf, snappishly, aud the next mo-
ment the Goat had hit him amid
ships and knocked him over a Preci-
pice 200 Feet High.

An intimate friend of the family of
Charlie Ross in Germantown, Phila-
delphia, says that the father of the
long lost boy has nearly if not quite
given up yer seeing his child again,
and that the mother despaired long
ago of his ever being returned to her.
He speaks of the interesting collec-
ton of photographs-over II hun
dred-which the family has, these
having been sent them from every
quarter by people who thought they
had found or seen the missing child.
From very many sources supposed
clues are coming even to this very
day, although nearly ten years have
elapsed since the boy was abducted.

and popular fellow tow nsman, in whose
honor the Rot iu-uu Hook ami Ladder

ant, Wednesday evening. The company
aTrayed i'm full uniform, marched from

ful table awaited their presence. The
bill OF fare for the evening was an un
usually fine one. gotten up in style
wholly in keeping with the reputation
CnlIy's bears for excellent cookery, and
was done full Justice to by the large
number of persons present. Supper
finished, MIR. Al. Baxter, secretary Of the
Hooks, arose, and in the following short
and felicitOu5 speech, presented Mi.
Robinson, III the name of the company,
with a fine double barrelled, breech-
loading shot gun, and complete hunting
costume:
"Mr. Robinson. our namesake, allow
me, in behalf of your brother firemen.
the Robinson Hooks, to present you
with this gun and equipments as token
of love and esteem; and we hope that
every time the gun cracks, be 1t for a
bear or a pony, the name of the Robin
son Hooks Will be refreshed in your
memory. Allow me also to say, in be-
half of our company, that We sincerely
regret your departure, and hope that the
time is not far distant when you can
again come into our midst and say,
Hooks, I've come home to stay, my for
tune is made, and my breech-lOader did
it,"
The gift was a complete surprise to
Mr.. Robinson, and in few happy re-
marks he thanked the boys for their
kind remembrance of him. The fessive
