BENNETT BROS. COMPANY.
A Reorganization With New Members in
The Firm.

The business firm heretofore known as
Bennett Bros. will hereafter be known as
Bennett Bros. Company. At the meeting
here last week of Messrs. Nelson and Willard
Bennett, who constituted the original firm,
tue RESIDENT l:auako,s, OF tho hesasos at Quito,
Townsend and Deer Lodge assembled with
them, and aside from other business, a reor-
ganization of the company was effected, and
it has been incorporated as above named to
date from January l, 1888. The change is
made to admit to association in the business
and the benefits therefrom accruing of
Messrs. Ed. E. Congdon, of the Butte branch;
Thos. Morgan, of the Deer Lodge house;
Alexander Mackenzie, of the Townsend
branch, and also Mr.. S. Davis, who has been
bookkeeper of the Butte branch since its
company is $15O,O0O-15OO shares at a par
value of 500 each. Of this $4,000 shares is
retained by Messrs. Nelson and Willard
Bennett, and $1,000 shares are held to issue
to the other associates pro rata as agreed
out of the profits as they accrue annually
or each may draw SO per cent. of the same in
cash if desired. This is in addition to the
salaries Of each as they now exist, and gives
each of the new members q relative proper
ton of the profits of the business without
any investment. This is a happy solution of
the 'labor vs. capital" question, and one of
the best ways it aver will be solved.
The firm commenced business here some
five years ago, under the personal supervis-
ion of Will Bennett. Since then branch
houses nave been established and become
prosperous at Butte and Townsend, and with
continually increasing business their sales
run up last year to s40O, 900. Mr.. Will Ben.
nett, while looking after and developing
this extensive business, has made his home
here from the first and will continue to do so
although other enterprises require much of
his attention elsewhere, and a responsibility
equal to that of the Butte branch falls upon
Mr.. Morgan. Bennett Bros. have displayed
excellent judgment in the selection of their
assistants, and have practically appreciated
their fidelity by the liberal advantages &C
corded the new members of the company.
They anticipate a still largely increased bus
mess this year, and although they have s6O-
600 worth of stock Of hand will soon send
east orders for 50 or GO car loads of wagons,
buggies, machinery, and the various articles
in which they deal as a spring shipment.
May the company prosper as it has hereto
fore.

OVER THE HILLS.
Something of What is Going on in tho
Boulder Region.

AOuAuoV 1SeSAUu
Mr.. VIM. Hyde, who returned a few days
ago from a long trip via Boulder, kindly
gives us the following items: .m
The Montana Central railroad grade from
Helena to Butte is nearly finished. The
scrapers were used every day up to the 1st
Of January, and the cars may be running
into Butte by overhead line in June, al
though the tunnel at Wickes will not be
completed before October. The galena ore
lode found in the tunnel was six feet wide,
but they ha1 not yet reached the hanging
wall when / left.
About 200 men were cutting wood on Bison
creek for the Butte Smelters that will be
hauled over the new road when completed.
The Northern Pacific were running regular
daily trains over their new road from Jeffer-
son to Calvin's, and was headed right up the
main Boulder stream. Beyond this point no
work has been done. The distance from
Calvin's to Deer Lodge is about the same as
from Calvin's to VAUDEVILLE.
New mines were discovered last summer
about twenty miles southwest of Elkhorn,
and a mineral belt extends all the way from
Elkhorn to Pony, a distance of forty or fifty
miles in a southwest direction. Good indi.
cations for coal have also been found on the
Boulder.
1t IS anticipated that a railroad will be
built next summer from Three Forks to
connect with the N. p. road at Boulder City,
with a branch running up to within a mile
and a half Of Elkhorn, as the developments
now going on in that district will amply
justify.
Boulder City has nine saloons, two hotels,
a restaurant, three butcher shops and several
stores. A corner lot was recently purchased
for building thereon next season a Cruise
savings bank, and a vote was about to be
taken on the erection of a s10,0 600 public
school house. " $685..

The Gold Creek Mines.
PAllipsburq Mail, 1911.


This district lies about half way between
Dunkelburg and Pioneer. The veins are of
the blanket type in what is locally called
porphyry, but which appears to our inform
ant to be a kind of trap rock. The ore runs
we'll in silver and carries some gold and a
title lead. 1t is not free milling and would
probably be most cheaply treated by fire.
The principal prospect is the Gladstone,
owned by Burrier & Co. The vein on this
property lies generally from 40 to 20 feet
below the surface and is opened by numerous
vertical shafts from which levels are run. A
carload of the ore has been recently shipped
to Omaha and the returns have not yet been
heard from. This property from its favor
able conditions is capable of being worked
very cheaply, and the roads from it to the
railroad are all an easy down grade. The
properties of the Granite Mountain mining
company in this vicinity are some six or
eight miles further up the creek in a rugged
country which as yet is inaccessible except
to pack animals.

Died in His Bed In jail.

A man named O'Grady, who has been in
Granite for the past six months without
work and living from hand to mouth, was
brought down in the sherif's care last Mon
day on a charge Of vagrancy. When but a
little way ont of Granite, O'Grady, whose
constitution is completely wrecked by hard
drinking, said he was freezing, and Joseph
team and made the trip in wonderfully short
time. The sick man reached the burg alive
and is now in the doctors care.-Philipsburg

The above referred to man was suisse
quently brought to Deer Lodge as a vagrant
nj lodged in Jail. He had evidently been a
hard drinker and was suffering therefrom
when brought in. Sheriff Coleman looked
around for a sleigh to rave him conveyed to
the hospital, but there were none to be had
at that late hour and he died during the
night. Excessive use of intoxicants and the
hard weather were too much for him.

COMMITTEE ROOMS,
HENDRY= MEMORIAL CON-,
- HELENA, Jan. 1O.I1888.

11ENDh1 V4 OOM.V
HELENA, Jan. 10, 1888.
Recognizing the eminent worthiness of
our lamented brother and friend, Joseph E.
Hendry, editor of the Helena Independent,
who died in the line of duty, conducting
with marked ability one of the leading jour-
nails of Montana, giving his untiring services
to maintaining and increasing the usefulness
and efficiency of a force which we claim in
simple justice has done much toward the
material development of the Territory and
the prosperity of its people, while it has
achieved distinction collectively throughout
the land for its merits in all that goes to
make up the better records of journalism,
the Montana Press Association has taken
the initiative to perpetuate his memory.
It is unnecessary to amplify here on the
great heart, the brilliant intellect, the con-
s%cientious courage and the many noble and
endearing qualities of him whose memory
we would perpetuate. While his greatest
monument will be in the ever saddened
memories of those whose privilege it was to
be nearest to and know him best, and who
saw him fall in the very portals of that
temple where knightly service had so early
won him eminent distinction, 1t is becoming
that the journalists of Montana, who are
ever generous in their assistance to perpetu-
ating in substance more enduring than our
feeting lives the memories of those eminent
in other walks Of life, should do so unto
their own. First fallen in many years of a
fraternity now so numerous and we trust SO
prosperous as to be able to do thus without
undue demand upon them, WI believe it
eminently proper that a worthy and endur-
ing memorial should be erected to the men,
ory of one so deserving as our brother,
Joseph E. Hendry. The manner and form Of
this memorial will be determined by the
Montana Press Association at its next
annual meeting at Great Falls this season,
but it is desirable that all should respond to
this, that the Association may determine
what is to be done, the plan proposed being
the erection of a monument in Helena, sub.
ject in form to the determination of the
Press Association at its next annual session.
Succeeding this in the circulars are the
methods of making subscriptions and invi-
tations to his friends to contribute to the
undertaking. -

CALLING ON THE ASSOCIATION
OF Montana Wool Growers to Speak in
Their Own Interest.
Editor Ne,c North Vest:

Editor Ne1D North West: -
The wool growers of this County have been
patiently awaiting the action of the Wool
Growers Association of this Territory in
regard to the agitation now going on in
Congress upon the question Of the reduction
of tariff on wool. This being a matter of the
utmost importance to every wool grower,
allow me through your paper to urge the
importance of calling a convention in Helena
at an early date, say the second Saturday in
February, (the 11th), to take such action as
may be appropriate, and pass and send to our
Delegate our protest against q course so
ruinous to one of the chief industries of
Montana.

LOW GRADE ORES.
The Montana Central Wants Large Quants-
ties for the Great Falls Smelter.

LlGH IOT t00 0T68t r his Sm8ICeTs
Marshal r. S. Kelly, in travelling a few
days since with Mr.. C.. A. B~roadwater, was
informed by him that the projected smelling
works at Great Falls will certainly be con.
structed in as short a time as possible, and
that they will be on q scale commensurate
with the immense and productive field they
cover. Abram S. Hewitt, the well known
politician and capitalist of New York, is at
the head of the organization, and it controls
all the capital it requires, even to the ex-
clusion Of the Manitoba and Montana rail-
road officers, who hold no stock in the
smelter, but confine their interests exclus-
lively to the traffic connected Herewith. MI.
Broadwater says these roads have entered
into a contract with the Smelling Company
for twelve years to supply it with ores and
coal-the latter at 30 cents per ton for that
time. They b lave also a contract with the
Power Company for twelve years. use Of
water at a nominal price, so. with these adj
vantages in til cir favor it is alleged that,
counting the cost of transportation, we pre-.
sumo, in their favor, the Great Fall Smelter
will be able to treat ores at 81 per ton less
than can be done at the Baltimore works,
and an interesting part of Mr.. Broadwater's
statement was that the Montana Central
Company would buy $40 ores, at a profit to
the miner, at any point on the line of their
road. Not only this, but in connection with
the talk about the present and prospective
work in Orc Elmo District, Mr.. B. said that
whenever 100 tons of ore per day of $40 rock
would be guaranteed them, the Montana
Central would build the ten or twelve miles
of road over from Calvins to the Orc Elmo
mines and buy all the ore, down to $40 rock,
on the spot.
While tits undoubtedly best, where it can
be done as well within a reasonable degree
of what it will cost if shipped, to treat ores
at the mine, there are high grade ores that 1t
now pays better to ship, and there are no
plants now in Montana that we know Of that
can proftably treat SO ore. II, therefore,
the Montana Central is coming with such a
proposition as that, it will be likely to find
plenty of ore to haul, unless other works are
built elsewhere to compete with those men,
toned. While it is to be hoped the Orc Elmo
District will not produce much low grade
ore, it is gratifying there is such an oppor-
unity opening for all on the line of the Cen.
trail to nave works in the Territory that can
treat ores at a low figure, and a railroad that
is going to make a specially of such traffic.

of Iron Hall, the only Branch of that Order

in the Territory, it may be of interest to give
something of its history and purposes. The
Order, as we learn from The Real Estate Re-
porter, of Indianapolis, Ind, was organized
March %, 1881, at Indianapolis, with but IS
members. In six years its membership has
increased to $1,000, aud it is increasing at the
rate of 900 members a month. Any white
person between the ages Of IS and G5 years,
of good moral character, steady habits,
reputable calling, sound bodily health, a
believer in a Supreme Intelligent Being, the
Creator and Preserver of the Universe, and
who is competent to earn a livelihood, is
eligible to become a member. A medical
examination is required of all candidates.
The iniatory fees are light. Its plan is to
pay benefits in case of sickness of from IS to
S25 per week, and a benefit ranging from
$500 to 81 600 at the end of seven y~ears-there
being no death benefit. Every seven years
there has to be a renewal of membership, as
we understand it. A member falling i'll is
entitled to sick benefits any time after he has
been in the order sixty days. On a 81, 900
