A MAMMOTH ESTABLISH
MENT.
Busy Scenes Among tho Brick
ana Mortar.

Yesterday Messrs. Sands 4 Boyce,
the enterprisiug merchants of this
city, began the work Of improving
and converting into one mammoth
establishment the building they at
present occupy and the corner build
ing adjoining on the south which
they recently purchased of Messrs.
Donnell, Clark & Larabie.
The improvements will consist in
part of the removal of all the parti-
tons in the corner building; the 70.
mOval of most of the wall separating
the two buildings, the closing up Of
all unnecessary openings in the south
side of the corner building; the sub
stltutiOn of uniform and more mod
ern and imposing show windows
than the present ones, the remodel
ing of the shelving, counters, office,
etc., of the old room and the intro
duction of suitable fixtures in the
new, and such other improvements
as will correspond with the colossal
cACcuI q GucSc Two u COI0-
bined and the great and rapidly in
creasing business they are intended
to accommodate.
The business of this firm has so
largely increased that these increased
facilities became a pre- ssing necessity
that could no longer be disregarded;
and when completed this mammoth
establishment will be the largest of
its kind in the Territory, without a
single exception. Notwithstanding
the fact that the annexation of the
building referred to will afford at
least twice the space which they have
been able to command in the past,
they will retain the "bridge" and
brOadw a salesroom.
The success of this firm in building
up such a colossal business is certain
~ without q parallel in the North
west, and it is largely due to the un-
firing energy and business capabili-
ties Of the resident and active part
ner, MI. J. r. Boyce, Jr. The policy
of the house has been a straightfor-
ward and liberal one, and that it has
been understood and appreciated is
best evidenced by its success.

Special Correspondence Of the MINER.
ANACONDA, Aug. 6, 'S3.
The rumors set afloat by croakers
that the Anaconda Company did not
intend to locate their immense reduc.
ton works at this point have been
set at rest by sixteen men being put
at work On the foundations for the
smelter. This fact has given a new
impetus to trade in the new burg,
and times may be said. to be lively.
There are about 800 people here, and
almest every branch of trade
is represented. Building opera
lions are active, six saw mills
and three brickyards being made
quats to supply the demand for
building material. Foundations are
commenced and nearly ready for
four brick business houses. The
Anaconda compauy's Office on First
street is ready for the brick now ar
irving. J. Ross Clark's 25x1OO foot
cellar is completed. The foundations
for Hoge, Brownlee 4 Co.'s bank and
VIM. M. Jacks building are also
nearly ready for the supsrstructure.
Every store house available is rented
at Butte rates. Dwellings are in
great demand. Charles Derby has
built a substantial hotel. Lynch 4
Mather will have another hotel open
in a few days. D. Fl. Cohen is ex-
pected to bring a stock of goods in
next month. N. T. johnson does
business in a pretentious building.
James Keefe is the lucky proprietor
tf several boarding and lodging
houses which are well patronized.
There are six stores largo and small
and saloons difficult to number as
they are constantly increasing.
Ahrens Bros. are doing a large
business in supplying the town with
meats. Our town presents the spec
tacle of a city with six stores, in
Vulnerable saloons, hotels and board
ing houses, and three brick-yards, a
number of sawmills, q sash factory, a
lumber yard, blacksmith shops, car
shops, boot and shoe shop,
and in fact everything required to
make prosperous town containing
population Of from 200 to 300 peo-
pie, where six weeks ago not a single
could be seen. All who
come to work are employed. Thirty
are under contract, and
about as many more r being nego-
tiated for.
The Anaconda company is vigor
ously pushing work forward on the
concentration and shelter the largest
of the class in the United
An express is run twice a
day to the Warm Springs station,
and visitors from Butte and Deer
crowd the streets every day,
the place the appearance
which it is-of being the busiest,
most enterprising, and most prosper
GUS town of its size in Montana.
But while this is true the more
mon of our community
are looking forward to next winter,
when it can scarcely be expected that
. large number Of men will be en-
upon the smelter, and the
town will have to live upon its own
resources, and we look forward to a
dull winter, but next summer will
be the time of our boom when work
will be going forward in every d.
rection, the smelter will employ
three or four hundred men and those
who have worried through the win
ter will reap the reward Of their pa
tlent waiting. Yours truly,

The Age Of Steel.

Even if there was once a time when
the state of industrial civilization
could fittingly he described as the age
of iron. says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
that time is past and gone, We are
rapidly approaching the age of steel.
Iron is being superseded in many direc-
tons by its more popular rival Great
transportation lines prefer steel rails to
iron ones or account of their superior
wearing qualities. True. there are many
iron tracks still in existence hut there
are also wooden tracks on some old
fashioned railways. Wire rods will
henceforth be made of steel rather than
of iron Already the production OF
steel in the United States is reported
TO exceed theproduction Of iron in mag
nitude. For many purposes iron is SO
admirably designated that it will re.
main, certainly for many years, and
probably forever, in common use /: but
the number of instances in which if
has been or is being superseded by
steel is much greater than would have
been believed a decade ago.

Visited by a Grizzly Bear.

An old resident Of Montana. while
camping out, was awakened bv
grow and the pressure of heavy foot
that almost made him groan. He
grasped his rifle, and was about crawl.
ing out of bed, when the pressure was
removed. Then came tho rinning az
sacks, the stampede of his horses, and
general destruction among the pro
visions. After making away with
sugar and breakfast bacon, the thing
settled down upon the bed, the weight
of the paws almost breaking the mans
legs. After cogltating upon the best
way of getting rid of his visitor, the
distant cry of the mule attracted the
animals attention, and he betook him
self off. The bunter slowly raised the
cover from his head and peered around
There, not thirty yards away, stood
the brute a big, white headed grizzly
with his left fore foot slightly raised
his ear crooked over toward the other
end of the valley, in silent meditation
Such a fair shot; impossible to miss
him not considering that the old
moons faint light might deceive He
determined to take a Shot at him and
take the chances Gradually raising
his rife to aim the question arose
where to shoot-through the heart,
lungs, or head. The extreme tension
of his nerves began to lax; he tremb-
led slightly from indecision. He must
shoot quick or not at all. He took a
steady pull on the side of his head and
fred In another second he had put
two more shots at random into his
body. Such an unearthly yell he never
heard before. The huge beast reared
stumbled, and rolled around on the
green sward, until it finally got int
the creek in the dark out of sight
where it splashed, foundered, ant
mountaineering and crying like &
huge giant. The first shot had scalpe(
him, without doing him serious injury
one of the other shots cut his jugulal
vein, and another went through his
BODY and he bled to death. He wa.
about seven feet long and four feet
high.
