From Charley Ladd, who arrived
from Neihart yesterday, we obtained
the following items OF interest:
Work on the Queen of the Hills is
being prosecuted steadily by h. c..
Kingsbury. They are working in
the upper and lower tunnels and
making good progress. Mr.. Kings
bury Is well pleased with the ::pros-
pect so far, and although Mr.. Ladd
has not yet seen the mine his in
formation Is that 1t Is looking we'll.
The Boston company is develop
ing the Mountain Chief and are going
right ahead with the work. They
have sunk to a depth of fifty feet and
ale now running drifts. The lead
shows up %splendidly. They have
five feet Of ore, and it is of good
quality. This mine promises to be a
bonanza. The bond expires On the
LIST of September, and there is no ones.
ton but that the sale will be made.
1t is understood at Neihart that
the machinery tor the mill to be
erected by the Boston Company is
now en- route and that 1t will be in
running order early this fall.
Chamberlain & Bell are now at
work on the Minnehaha, an exten-
sion of the Montana Bell, and it is
showing up finely. The shaft they
are now sinking shows q larger and
better quality of ore even than the
Montana Bell.
Dan Lumbard, with an assistant is
at work on his Snow creek leads.
The road to White Sulphur Springs
is now open, and q good many people
are going into the camp that way:
The road to Fort Benton is all right
except that Belt Creek is now too
high to ford. There are several CAPT.
talists. or those who represent capital,
in Neihart, looking about to secure
interests there, and some sales or
bonds are likely to be made soon.
The indications are that Neihart will
te pretty lively camp this year.

Iarty that came down the Missouri
via Col. Wheeler's craft. Mr.. Inger-
soil pilo.ed the party over that coun-
try of magnificent resources, and
succeeded in fairly astonishing them.
The coal fields OF Sand Coulee in par
ticular attracted their attention. being
80 much better and more extensive
than any of the party had antic'pat-
ed. Col Dodge said it was the finest
deposit of coal he had seen in the
west, and the quality and immense
Quantity of it elected his admiration.
In the Immediate vicinity OF the coal
was also seer q fine vein of iron ore,

Coulee's resources. Col. Dodge was
very tavorably impressed with Great
Falls townsite and the surrounding
country, and on his return will make
a most favorable report on the
country he saw and its resources.
His intention was to pay q visit to
this city, but as the weather was dis
agreeable and his trip had already

foreoo the pleasure OF visit to the
river metropolis until some other

know that he was so favorably I'M
pressed with the coal fields of Che.

this visit will do much toward hasten

Pacific branch in this direction.

The Electric Light Plant.

A few evenings ago q MINER re.
porter, in company with a couple Of
prominent business men Of the city,
visited the electric light plant. The
works are located q little ca t OF
Cars stables on lower Main street.
The patty was politely received by
Mr.. A. b. Grace, the gentlemanly
electrician in charge of the works,
and shown over them. Mr.. Grace
explained the operation of the differ
ent parts of the machinery and the
manner In which electricity is
generated by the Brush system.
As this can be more thoroughly un-
derstood by drawings, We will leave
the reader to consult scientific works
upon the subject to gain the in
formation. Mr.. Grace informed us
there were at the present time forty
IL o'clock lights and thirty 10 o'clock
lights in operation, with a capacity
for ten more. To generate these
lights there are two boilers
Of sixty horse power each and
two engines of fifty horse power each
il use. Wood is used. being consid-
cred cheaper at present rates than
coal. Nearly two cords are used each
day. During the present week five
IL o'clock lights will be put upon the
spire of the court house. Nj. Grace
has two assistants. The gentleman
has been very successful thus far
with the lights, and has given perfect
satisfaction to patrons. The plant in
Buete is probably at a higher eleva-
ton than any other electric light
plant in the United STATES, some of
the lights burning here being 5000
feet above the sea level.
