The Ladies Aid Club gave 8
sociable Friday evening last. There
were numerous refreshment tables
provided with delicacles, which
were literally purchased by partici
pants. The gross proceeds amount
ing to about $50.
While excavatiDg for the grade on
the road to the new concentration 8
deposit of fire-clay wa, discovered at
the top. When the cut reached the
established grade the vein was thirty
feet wide and showed evidence OF
widening. From s narrow seam al
the surface the vein dips off on either
side at an angle of about forty-ive
degrees. The find was at once located
by the Anaconda Company and will
| prove immensely valuable, az the
company intend to begin the manu-
facture of their own friedrich at an
early day.
Speaking of brick suggests the fact
that J. r. Campbell has recently
received a machine which requires
two horses as motive power. But
unlike former years the supply is in
excess of the demand, aud Mr..
Campbell's 10000 a day machine is
Idle.
There is less building being done
than a month ago. Anaconda is m
deniahly dull. All are hoping that
the present business quletude is the
calm before the storm.
Last Friday Sam Johnston, one of
E>oko~ LNo<oo a NJ 10 a0H~Ho -n 0o
slstlng to remove cargo of eggs from
the depot to the firms warehouse.
In some manner he was thrown from
q loaded wagon and fell between the
traces of the rear horse. One wagon
wheel grazed his head and passed
over his right arm. Fortunately no
bones were broken and Sam is again
at his post, although evincing a fond
ness for his right arm.
That consignment of eggs was
somewhat numerous. I took the
pains tn lind out how many there
were. Here are the figures: Three
hundred cases with thirty dozen in a
case would be nine thousand dozen,
equal to ", 900 AN egg apiece for al
most everyone in Montana.

Horse Prairie, Beaverhead county.
1t is presumed the Anaconda Com
