A Brush With Bear-An Old-Timer's
Opinion of the Bear Paw Mountains.
Bozeman Courier: A. w. Tanner and
others at Red Bluff had brush with bear
Sunday. Tanner lost a dog and one Of the
men with him received severe scratch in
the back from one OF the bears claws.
They had bear meat for supper all the
same.
Should the new road from Gallatian to
Butte be commenced at once, as the gen.
eral supposition is it will, there will S,O0O,-
900. feet of lumber used, most of which
will have to be furnished by the mills in
Missoula county, and will necessitate the
starting up OF all OF them, which will make
times considerably better hereabouts.
Missoula "Item:" Jack Farrell and
Jimmy Kelly have been offered an eight
weeks engagement in Butte. TO give spar.
ring exhibitions, at q good figure, and will
leave here in the early part OF next week to
fill it. From Butte they will make a tour
fornia Athletic club will offer purse for q
contest to finish between Farrell and
Tommy Warrec.
old timer in Northern Montana, who was
here in the palmy days OF Indian trading
aud wolfing. and who has for number
of years past been located at the mouth OF
the Marias river farming and poultry rails
ing was in town to-day. He has just re-
turned from an extended trip through the
Milk river country, the Bear Paw and Little
Rocky mountains. Nose is filed with as.
tonishment at the number OF settlers he
found located all over the country. He
says he expected to see a few settlers-in
fact, quite a number-but he never dreamed
of finding them so numerous. Nose says
they are hard at work building homes,
blowing and fencing, and that they have
undoubtedly come to stay. Nose believes
Northern Montana is Gods country, and
that in a few years it will be both the gar
den and granary OF the great northwest.
Townsend ''Tranchant": E. G. Albrecht,
formerly superintendent of the Hazelton
and Harris mine, on Beaver creek, near
Placer, has taken the management of the
East Pacific mine, onwed by Winston Bros,
OF st. Paul, the railroad contractors, and
c. W. Kendrick, chief engineer of the North
ern Pacific. The mine is systematically de-
veloped and is considered b property ofgreat
promise. A shaft has been put down 200
feet, at which point body OF ore was en-
countered assaying fr. quently as high as 600
ounces to the ton. A tunnel is to be made to
tap this body, and from this source the
ore will be extracted. Mr.. Aibrecht 80 ef
fciently managed the Hazleton and Harris
| mine that it is now making money for it's
| owners, and he undoubtedly will make as
good q record on the East Pacific. The
former is shipping car load OF ore daily.
A tunnel is being driven near the
vein, and when the ore body is tapped the
output will be doubled. W. II. Harkius,
who is interested in lead property in many
OF our mining camps, stopped over in
Townsend to procure necessary supplies
for his Castle camp in the development of
the Silver Bell and other mininr interests
he there has.
Correspondence Great Falls Leader:
! he Barker camp and Nsihart mining dis
tricts, the Belt Mountain range and the
Great Falls country is the general talk of
the day in Dakota. They want long grass
and rich ore, healthy climate and nothing
more, and these they will surely find il
they come here and stay.
