ST. PETERS MISSION.
A Splendid Institution Well Conducted
A Garden Spot.


Near the head of the broad, beautifully
green Missouri valley stands the Ursu-
line Convent of the Holy Family. A bet
ter location for seat of learning could
not be found than this-su1rounded by
mountains, the scenery is fine, elevated
about 5000 feet above the sea, the air is
light, pure and bracing, and the climate
is exceptionally healthy. The Mission,
as the school is usually called, is within
easy reach of the railroad at Cascade, be
ing only nine miles away; yet far enough
removed that all the temptations of a
town or village are removed. The
church owns large body of land, thus
insuring that no bad influences can ever
be located near. Here is gathered a
school of from 100 to 200 pupils, both
boys and girls. Father Damiani, assisted
by an able corps of instructors, has charg
Of the institution, and under this manage
msnt the school is growing and doing q
great deal of good. We were surprised
to learn that pupils are here given good
board, lodging and instruction at cost to
the child Of only $40 per month.
The new Mission building is a surprise
to any who have not seen it. Through
the courtesy of the architect and builder,
Mr.. Nick Monshauser, we are able to give
short description of it. 1t is 116H feet
long by n feet deep, built or dark blue
sandstone, in plain gothic style, and
makes solid though handsome appear
ance. In the basement are found the
kitchen, dining rooms, storage rooms and
furnace rooms. On the first floor are
four large class rooms, music rooms, re-
ception room, fine art room and chapel.
The third floor is used as a dormitory,
bath rooms, an infirmary and sisters
rooms. The building is heated with SIX
large furnaces and is furnished with hot
and cold water. The building, with 9TH
ers adjoining, will accommodate $50
pupils, and will be ready for occupancy
about September 1, 1889. -...
The Fathers are also expert farmers
and this year will have fair crops of
grain. They have built large reservoir
and are thus able to control vast volume
of water, using it when the crops are
most in need. I. w. Il.

Big Fire III Miles City.

MILES City, July 2.-Fire started
Friday at 1:30, in the building owned by
Sam Wilder. A strong wind soon caught
the nearest building and half block was
burned. 1t is bounded by Park, Pleasant
and Sixth streets. The origin of the fire
is unknown. The flames spread rapidly
to the other blocks, but was extinguished.
The losses are: Mrs. Talfree, $4,000; L.
Q. Currier, $500; Sam Wilder, $1,000; 4.
Fl. Logan, $400; s. Pepper, $4,000; E..
Jones, $1,000; G. W. Savage, $4,000; J. S.
Cox, furniture, 5000; Scott, furniture,
5000; N. Bissonnette, furniture, $500.
The total loss is probably $4,000, covered
by one-half insurance. By the hard work
of citizens larger contlagration was pre-
vented. High winds carried the sparks
to different parts of the town, setting fire
to numerous houses. All the buildings
DESTROYED were dwellings.

ANACONDA, July 2.--Last night Ana
conda's great hotel-the Montana-was
formally opened and dedicated to the
comfort and convenience of the thousands
who will find food and shelter under its
hospital roof during the years to come.
The whole town seemed prepared for an
unusual event last evening. AS the Butte
party filed up town the sidewalks were
crowded with eager spectators. The
Butte delegation made splendid show
ing. Four coaches carried them to Ana
conda. Anaconda people predominated,
OF course, but representatives were pres
ent from Deer Lodge, Helena, Missoula
and Bozeman. There must have been
nearly thousand guests at the hotel.
The large dining room was filled to re-
pletion and nearly every part of the first
floor had its crowd of eager, merry
guests. The scene in the ball room was
a memorable one. The ladies' attire was
elegant and varied. The effect in the
ball room was bewildering. There has
seldom been seen larger or more hand
somely attired assembly anywhere east
Or west. Everyone enjoyed the occasion
to the utmost. The hall was brilliantly
lighted by the incandescent electric lights,
thus Illuminating the whole house and
showed the beauty of the ladies' costumes
to the best advantage. To attempt to de-
scribe the banquet would be fruitless
The occasion is undoubtedly one of the
most memorable in the territory and
gives the Montana hotel send off worthy
of its name
