Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-06

Mr.. Ellers, the miners should go
right to work developing their claims
Much of the ore of Neihart and Barker
can be hauled by wagons to the smelter
here at a good profit, and the mine-own-
ers should bring in as much as possible
in this way. In this way it can be shown
that there is something for a railroad to
go after.

The peaceful town Of Cascade was in
vaded yesterday afternoon by Messrs.
Brady, Leslie, Taylor, Buddington, Shary
and others, all interested in the trial of a
suit about watch. The people were
surprised at the incursion and supposed
that the party were on campaigning
tour. The trial before Mr.. Burcher did
not come off as expected, but was post
poned until this afternoon. Some Of the
party went shooting; others discussed
politics with Judge Murphy, while the
rest visited Shepherd u Finn and Mr..
Erskine of the new town Of st. Clair.
The lawyers, who were soon to engage in
wordy warfare, spent the time quite mer-
rily together, but disliked the notion Of
two days absence from town. The nov
city Of the affair interests the Cascadians
and St. Clairians, who are discussing the
points at issue with much energy. ...
At last the true prairie dog extermina-
simplest expedient that could be lmag-
ined. Bi-sulphide Of carbon does tie
destructive work effectually? The course
this compound, using only small guam
and then cover the hole. The fumes from
the decidedly odoriferous bi-sulphide,
being heavier than air, descends to the
uttermost depths of the burrow and suf-
locates Mr.. Prairie Dog every time. Sew
eral ranchmen have tried this method,
with perfect success. Buchanan & El-
lott of Willow creek and Robt Vaughn
say it is the cheap and sure plan Of ex-
terminating these pests. The compound
named is not very expensive, and it is
likely to come into extensive use when
its value in this regard is known.
The new 2OO-ton smelter, located
about four miles from Great Falls, which
has just been completed, Mr.. Ray, of the
Montana Central, says is one of the finest
in the country. The smelter building is
built of corrugated iron and they have
two smoke stacks 150 feet high. Beside
the smelter the company has erected at
considerable expense beautiful resi-
dence for the superintendent which is as
fine as any house In Helena. Everything
about the place is of the best character
of workmanship. The furnaces were
| fired up few days ago to test them and
they were found to work admirably. All
they need now is something to smelt and
for this purpose they have men in the
Ceur d'Alene country. They expect to
! treat only silver and lead ores and con-
centrates. They have no concentrator in
connection with the plant 1t is the in
| tention of the Great Falls Smelter com
| pany to send men to Butte also, where
they will bid for ore, for which they hope
to be able to pay better prices than any
of our local reduction works. Butte In.
