RAILROAD NOTES.

Toronto capitalist is organizing COM
pany, with $50, 100000 capital, to build a
railroad from Puget Sound to Alaska.
There are loud demands for. better trans
portation from the Cpur q Aenes, where
hundreds OF tons OF ore are awaiting ship
ments.
The Montana Central has been blockaded
by snow for some days, both in Pricklv
Pear Canyon and in the neighborhood OF
Great Falls.
prosperous town is being built at Red
Lodge, the old stage station at the Rock
Creek coal banks. Before next winter the
town will contain over 5000 inha bitants,
as at least 900 miners will be employed
in getting out coal, to be shipped on the
Rocky Fork & Cooke City Railroad.
The Bozeman Chronicle announces that
the Rocky Fork & Cooke City Railroad will
be completed by early spring. Until less
than a year ago the Chronicle made spe
cialty OF declaring that no railroad could
be built to Cooke City by any other route
than the impossible one through the Ma
tiOnal Park The only practicable route is
through Clarke Fork Canyon, and though
most os the work is very light for a noun
tain road, there is stretch OF ten miies OF
heavy work in the canyon that will not be
completed by next spring, nor for several
months later.
H. Il. Mcdaniel, civil engineer who is
about going to South America by sea, in
formed the st. Paul Globe that he ex-
pected to return by rail some years later.
He insists that the project OF connecting
Mexico and Ruenos Avres by rail is quite
reasonable. 1t would not require more
than 5000 miles of line. and there are no
serious Typographical difficulties. He be-
lieves, also, that Behring's Straits will be
bridged, and through rail connection es
tahlished as there is now a gap of but
$500 miles to be filed, between Irkutsk,
the terminus Of the proposed Russian line,
and the nearest American line.

THE RAVALLI MONUMENT,
Now at Stevensville, Will be Erected in
Spring-Synopsis of Father Ravalli's
Career.

Now at StevenSVllle, Will De ErecC0O III
Spring-Synopsis of Father Ravalli's
Career.
A lett ter received from Father J. D'Asta,
s. j., says the Ravalli monument is now at
Stevensville, and will be erected
over the grave OF the noted mis-
sionary next spring. The mon
ument is composed of marble and metal,
and cost 500. Father RavalIi was born
at Fcrrara. Italy, in 1927. In 1S43 he
sailed from Flushing with Father De Smet,
who had, two years before, established ST..
Mary's mission in the Bitter Root Valley,
and several other missionaries. They
sailed around the Horn to Ft. Vancouver,
on the Columbia, which they reached Aug
ust 1, 1874 4, and after a year OF mission
ary work on the Willamette, Columbia,
and Colville. he arri> ed at St. Mary S in Sep
temher, 1915. and soon afterward built the
first -four mill al d saw mill in the country.
In 1860 St. Marys was temporarily aban-
doned, and Father Ravalli went to the
Cnur d 'Alene mission; in 1857 to the Col
vile mission; in 1860 to Santa Clara. Cal;
in 1868 back to St. Ignatius, Mont;
thence to st. Peters in 1864, and in 1866
back TO st. Marys after a short stay at
He'll Gate He died at st. Marys in 1854.
Father Ravalii was missionary OF merry
to both Indians and whites, and a mere
catalogue OF his good deeds would fill vol
umes. Father D'Asta was instrumental
in raising the fund for the purchase OF the
monument.

Copper.

San Francisco Chronicle: Orders have
been sent to the various copper-producing
mines OF Arizona and New Mexico to re.
sumo work. This action is due to the
abnormal rise in the value of the metal.
The form OF ore found in the Arizona and
New Mexican mines is known as sulphuret
of copper. 1t requires roasting. as it is
combined in the natural state with iron
and sulphur.
The relative cheapness of copper in re-
cent years has led to it's extensive utiliza
ton in the arts. For electric light, te'e
phone and telegraph wires it's uses have
been large. The rage for brass household
ornaments has also caused great
demand for the metal. A re-
cent discovery has been made
that an alloy of copper with 10
per cent OF aluminium form compound OF
great hardness and toushness, and it is
understood that in European cannon fac.
tories this alloy will be used for making
field pieces and mountain guns. In com.
bination with tin and manganese, copper
is now used to make the metal known as
manganese bronze. This substance is ex
tensively used in modern marine steam
engines for bearings and propelers. IT.
ductility and elasticity have made the
new metal Of high value, and. as fine cop
per enters largely into the alloy, it has be
come eagerly sought for by manufacturers

Take Them Away.

An expert mathematician has left an
abstruse problem at this Office to be de-
ciphered. 1t is FOO much for the combined
brain power OF the staff, and has a more
blighting effect on the intellect than the
game OF fifteen. Every inmate OF the Of
fee, from the devil to the editor-in- chief,
has tried it, and as each man got through
and gave it up, he would rush to the off ce
library and read chapter or two OF San
scrit, or play with the calculus awhile, to
relieve the strain on his mind. The same
party left prose-poem on the beautiful
snow, or something of the kind, that has a
perfectly maddeniug effect on the reader.
The proprietor of these soul-destroying
articles would confer great favor on
everyone in the block, by taking them
away at once.

Accident on the A. h p.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, January ia
serious accident occurred on the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad about three miles east OF
Coolidge, N. NJ, in which eight persons were
slightly injured and three probably fatally.
It appears that a first class coach attached
to the regular passenger train jumped the
track and turned over, making complete
wreck of the car. Miss Florence Wilson,
from Woodstock, Ill.,, had her skull frac-
tured and received internal injuries, from
which she will probably die. Other persons
who have sustained probably fatal injuries
are women, whose names are unknown.
Owing to the secrecy which prevails amons
the officials of this road, it 10 very difficult
to learn the exact truth.

Buffalo Times: Tho strife for rank and
distinction in social circles is a. ferce in
small villages a. in large cities. Two
young women wore discussing the claims OF
a candidate for the highest social honors

"Oh, indeed have"

"Of course she will. don't suppose
she'll condeseend to notice u common

of forelady over the girls in the new pickle

Newport (R. ~ Sentinel: A sensational
trial soon to come up here will reveal the

a young lady, died. She was connected
directly with family residing on the island

came known that she had made a will in
favor of a colored man named James Haz-
ard, who belongs to the Hazard family OF
negroes in Narragansett County, this State.
The mother of Miss Albro, at one time
a handsome woman, lived in the same
house as Hazard. After it became known

Of Hazard an inquiry was made by the

The First Patent.

Patent number 1, the first desert-land
patent issued in Montana, was issued to
COL John H. Curtis, Of this city, years ago.
It gave him clear title to tract of forty
acres near the Northern Pacific depot at
Helena, and he still holds it intact. The
tract is bounded on one side by the Hauser
addition, and on another by the road
leading from the city to the depot. This
road was laid out by Messrs. Curtis and
Cannon, each of whom gave fifty feet to it.,
and they named it Montana Avenue. The
lands all around Mr.. Curtis property are
laid out into city lots, but he is in no hurry
to place his on the market. He owns a
good many lots and houses in the city
