The People Enthusiastic Over the Ger
tainty of Branch to the Mines.
The news in last nights Tribune that
the Montana Central road would build a
branch line to the Belt mountains and
that work would be started at once was
received with great satisfaction by the
business men Of Great Falls. The Park
Theatre band came out in full force and
serenaded the Tribune office, Townsit"
office and the hotels. The news was dis
cussed on street corners. Wherever q
group of men would meet the road to Il @
Belt mountains was brought up and dis
cussed in all its bearings. The genera
opinion was that this city would |,
greatly benefited and hopes were e.,
pressed that the dirt would fly very sooa
The following are a few of the opinions
expressed, as gathered by the Tribune:
A. Nathan 1t is good thing, not only
for Great Falls, but for that entire section
of country through which the road will
pass. The mines of Barker, Yogo and
Neihart can now go ahead with a sure
prospect of finding market for their ore
and reward for their labor. Great Falls,
Of course, will be directly benefited. I
am glad to hear the news and am anx-
iously awaiting the beginning of what
promises to be great and glorious en-
terprise. w. ..~
Hotchkiss s. Hawkins-They can't be-
gin too soon to suit us. We are and al
ways have been heartily in favor of any
thing that would benefit this town. We
are glad to know that work will be pushed
so rapidly.
Barnes & Collett-Good news, sir very
good. l think it will have tendency to
stiffen prices in real estate and give
greater Importance to Great Falls. Not
only that. Every branch of business will
feel the effects Of this new enterprise and
the commercial prosperity OF the city
materially increase.
J. A. Carrier-It is something that I
have been looking forward to for a long
time and now that it has come I feel sat
istied this town has jumped way ahead
and has certainly made rapid strides
within the past two years. | have great
faith in the town and intend to stay by it.
A system of waterworks now and sys-
tenn of sewerage would turn this city into
a veritable garden Of Eden. Still all
these things will come, each in it's turn.
What Great Falls has accomplished in
two years has taken other places 10 years
to do. .--.-
Bulge & Kenkle-You can say that we
are perfectly satisfied with the news,
knowing that it will come to pass. Ey
cry business in this city will begin to feel
the effects right away. Business will be-
gin to pick up from now on and-well,
in short, we feel very we'll satisfied with
the news.
Others expressed similar opinions, all
tending to show that their faith in Great
Falls Is unlimited and their satisfaction
at the receipt of the good news unquali-
fled.
Mr.. Burghardt is delighted at the news
and sent word promptly to Barker, where
the Tribune will be read with glee in
many miners shacks. Mr.. Burghardt,
who has shown his confidence in the Belt
mountain region by large investments.
says that the railroad will give a power
full impulse to mining, enhance the value
of mining property and attract capital for
the development of the mines. He says
that the road will be Of great benefit to
this city and he looks for steady flow of
gold and silver ores to this market over
the new road -.--.,-
