He Left 4 Fortune.

Butte special: Alexander Laven-
burg, of this city, aged 81 years, died
this morning. He leaves a wife and
three step-children, one of whom is Sam
Alexander, of Helena, and brother
and sister, the latter being in Germany.
Lavenburg has been resident of Butte
for the past seven years and earned
livelihood by driving an expires wagon
from Butte to Walkerville. He is more
familiarly known as "1Valkerville. He
has always lived in an abject condition,
and no little surprise was manifested to-
day when it was stated he had made
will which proves him to be worth a
quarter of million of dollars. 1t is
said that most of the estate is in cash
and is deposited with Berlin banker,
who is a brother-in-law of deceased.
Lovenburg was resident of Helena at
different times from 1867 to 1875, and at
one time owned a prosperous dry goods
store. He lost everything during Hell
ena's big fire. The funeral takes place
tomorrow under the auspices of the X.
of L., Of which the dead man was treas
urer. According to the Jewish custom
the will will not be opened for week.

Upuer Yellowstone Notes

A glance over the valley OF the upper
Yellowstone will bring realizing sense
of the fact that old Mother Nature is
fully awake and at her bidding the gen
tie zephyrs rise and bring the fruitful
showers that cause hill and vale to don
beautiful robe of green. 1--WE mount the
lofty summit and contemplate the out
stretched landscape, admire the grand
towering mountains, the rolling clouds
and majestic river" which, taken togeth-
er, render the upper Yellowstone one
grand galaxy of beauties and glories.
We come down from this lofty summit,
however, and find ourself among the
haunts of men, from whom we learn that
roadmaking seems to he the principal oc-
cupation in this community at present.
Mr.. A. J. Edsall has charge of a force Of
workmen who are pushing the road up
Six Mile to the location of the Conduct
ors' Mining company. W. D. Cameron
has crew at work in EmigraEt gulch,
who lave the road completed to point
some distance above the Great Eastern.
Mr.. G. l.. Henderson of Mammoth Hot
Springs has recently purchased fourteen
head of horses from Lawrence Swan, pay
ing $54 per head. Mr.. Henderson intends
to use these horses in tourist transporta-
tion the coming season.
Dick Henderson narrowly escaped
drowning last Sunday while crossing the
Yellowstone at Lees ford. After the
horse he was riding had rolled over with
him in the river few times, Dick conclu-
ded to abandon him and ''take chances
with it," He was carried down stream a
considerable distance, when he luckily
stranded on IA rock, where he took Il rest,
which enabled him to swim ashore. Dick
says he don't want any more of it, If he
did save So wash bill.
A son of Hugo Hoppe passed up the
road this morning with about fifteen head
of graded COWS recently purchased from
Marion Flaherty of Gallatin valley. Mr..
Hoppe is evidently determined to give his
guests in the future pure, unadulterated
extract of COW.
Mr.. Frank Mounts has bought the Jeff
Clark ranch, and the places which have
known Jeff of late will soon know him no
more, as he and Ike Chambers will sta,
for Fort Custer next week. Mr.. Mounts
will move to the ranch as soon as he can
get some one to take charge of the post
office.

Daley has been dangerously i'll for some

A New Coal Company.

Independent: The Montana Coal rom-
pany was incorporated Monday and held
its first meeting of the lncorporators for
the election of officers DR.. r. r. Smith
of Helena was elected president; Moses
Morris, vice president; J. Dawson, secre
tary; Herman Ritchton, treasurer, and
Bullard & Barbour, attorneys. The COM
pany controls five rich veins of coal at
Red Lodge, being espectively ten, twelve,
fourteen, seventeen and twenty-five feet
thick, and all solid coal. These veins are
part of series discovered by John Ray,
W. McNella, Gilbert Patterson, Al. Fair
green, Ridley Lumley and N. French, all
old coal miners, some of whom have been
retained by the company. The mines lie
in beautiful valley not quite mile
wide. The surrounding buttes are $50
feet high and in many instances run off
in table lands of great width and perfectly
level. The Rocky Fork railroad will run
through the valley and cross portion of
the claim. The road is graded and ties
are stretched from Laurel to the mines
and the finishing touches will probably he
put on within the next sixty days. The
road is very level one, the country
through which it traverses being compar-
atively level. AT no place have the build
ers had to cut or fill over six feet. The
company will commence at once to mine
the coal and as soon as the road is com
plcted will start their shipments to Hell
ena.
