Proposals for Supplies"
Anaconda will soon have q telegraph and
telephone line, workmen now being engaged
in putting them in.
Councilman Charles G. Cox has been en-
gagged As editor Of the Benton Record. This
time favored US with its presence. Why is ii
thus?
We learned with regret last evening that
Mrs. T. b. Sullivan, of Warm Springs, whose
iufant child was buried last Sunday, died
yesterday. Her remains will be brought to
Deer Lodge to-day for burial.
A team driven by Mr. AL. Walker, of Race
Track, ran away Tuesday evening while he
was driving out of town, threw him from the
wagon after crossing the railroad track, ard
finally wrecked itself, breaking the leg Of a
valuable mare.
St. Mary's College, st. Joseph's Hospital,
the Penitentiary and the Favorito saloon
distance can soon have all the advantages Of
being in the Penitentiary without the ex-
pense of lawsuit.
A 6lo-pound bell, of fine tone, from the
foundry of Mcshans & Co., Baltimore, was
placed In the belfry Of the Christian Church
on Monday. We believe this is the largest
in the town, and it has a capacity for calling
sinners to repentance only equaled by the
magnitude of the duties devolving upon it.
A fiattsring notice OF tho Montana Insane
Asylum, derived II ON Ex-Governor Falk, OF
Dakota, is reproduced in this issue. The
Record has, however, fallen into error as to
there being beard Of commissioners for the
asylum, and also as to the acreage inclssed.
1t is l 600 instead of g. 900 acres.
There were some thirty persons at the lake
last Sunday. There are rumors that bottle
was washed ashore containing intimations
Of shipwreck, cannibalism, etc, and that one
body, in a good state Of preservation, was
flung violently on shore at the landing, but
there has been NO inquiry at this office yet
for missing people.
Willie Stultz, lad from Anaconda attend
ing the College of Montana, accidentally
shot himself in the left leg with small
calibre pistol on Tuesday. The ball crossed
his leg through the flesh above tho knee,
making a wound with few inches between
the entrance and exit of the ball. DR..
Owings, who ministered to him, says he will
be all right in a short time.
Frank Bruen, g. L. Of the U. & n. r. R.,
is at Garrison, resurvaying some work he
did last winter, and the stakes of which have
been displaced. The survey includes the
Union Yard and the Y, which 1t is the pur-
pose to shift further east and grade up to the
engine house. We are again informed that
there is a reasonable probability of the long
deferred union transfer and yard being put
in at an early day.
The Salt Lake papers give full details Of
the coroner's inquest, to date, on the body of
William B. Goodwin. Notwithstanding the
suspicious of foul play and that no cause can
be assigned for the rash act, the facts as ad
duced all seem to point unerringly to the
fact that the young man committed suicide
with a pistol. The coroner's jury was adj
journed q week to get any additional evil
dencs that might be had. The bsdy was ia
ken to Omaha for burial.
The Rocky Mountain Telephone wire, al
though comparatively new, is already an ac-
conplished hnguist. We noticed Chi
naman chattering over the wire the other
day, aud from the broad eIpanse of saffron
hued satisfaction making up the countenance
Of the celestial in sight, he must have been
receiving the "hi-lung-ho of the other one
at Butte as perfectly as over a bowl Of rice
and rats.
Mr.. Chas. II. Manning has sold his fine
ranch on Cottonwood creek, tive miles east
a few days to move TO the Tongue River
country and locate. The altitude here is too
great for him, and Mrs. N. does not enjoy
good health in the lower attitudes, 50 they
have concluded to try an intermediate local.
ity. He will take considerable Of his stock
with him, and goes prepared TO comfortably
establish himself where desirable location
is found.
Even the casual observer will notice that
the NEW NORTHWEST has a decidedly po-
litical cast this week, the reports Of csnvsn-
tions monopolizing large amount Of the
available space. There happening three to
fall together was somewhat incsnvenient
from newspaper point Of Wow, but readers
in such proceedings will have
the less of them in other numbers. They
are, however, the matter Of prime interest to
tie majority Of subscribers at present, and
have the right of way.
Mr.. d. II. Mellan, of the Princeton mine,
informs us there are now q men en- the pay
rsll OF that mine. OF which Mr.. George Hines
is superinte ndent. The shaft was on tho 18th
instant 157 feet deep, and cross cut Is being
run thence for the lead, which 1t 10 expected
to strike in 800 or 400 feet. In addition to
the 5-inch Knowles pump, another of seven
inches IL about to be put in, so that no in
convenience may ensue If heavy body Of
water is tapped in the lead.
