who resides here with his family, being the
right man in the right place. Both the
mine and smelter are being worked, as an

The unsafe condition OF the bridge ovel
the Big Hole is continuing to annoy the
responsibility is divided, no one cares tC
act. The bridge is the joint property o.
Beaverhead and Silver Bow counties, and
several efforts have been made to get the
Commissioners of both counties together
and agree upon such repairs as will be nee
essary until a new structure can be erected
Thus far nothing has been done and the
old 'trattle trap" remains a n to life
and limb, to say nothing of property. II
is now stated that if the Silver Bow author
tiles are willing to pay their share, two
thirds, for a new iron bridge which will cog
about 1000, the Beaverhead people viii
put temporary repairs on the present one
Some conclusion should be arrived at very
soon, for if the bridge is permanently disa
bled it will work great hardships on t:l'
people of Glendale.
