the consequence was that the corridors

100 foot levels running along the vein
A short time ago a cross-cut was made
from the main lead and resulted in the
discovery of parallel vein of free mill
ing gold quartz two feet wide. The vein
was uncovered for short distance anc
average samples Of it were taken and
brought to Helena for assay. The result
exceeded the expectations of the owners
One assay showed $1,376,5O, and the

The New Board of Commissioners.

The first special meeting OF the new
board of commissioners was held today
Messrs. Hawkins and Wegner being
present. The bonds of G. B. Swan as
county superintendent and David face
as assessor were approved The CLERK
was directed to procure an index pook
for the recorders office. The clerk and
recorder reported that it would be 'mpos-
sible for him to complete the tax list IN
side of three weeks and he was authorized
to employ an assistant to aid in the work.
The clerk explained that the fractional
levles made by the late bri''lant board
more than quadrupled the ]abors OF the
clerk in preparing the list for the treas
urer. The indications are that the pres
ept board will conduct the atfalrs OF the

that's the brass band on the corner"
"What' said the dying man. "Havee

And in towering rage the old man

HELENA, Nov. 22.-[ Special to the

utors and representatives. Nearly the
entire number are on hand.
1t is regretted that Senator Mcnamara

Field, W. H. Todd, John W. Power, D. ].

The opening of the legislature and the
organizing of the house are the leading
topics. The democrats are confident of
success but will not disclose their plan of
action. Public sentiment is strongly in
| their favor
J. D. Taylor, the "game warden" is
here, looking for the position ofsergeant
alarms. He has no chance except in the
senate where, on account Of the tie, the
offices may be divided, but there are
enough Helena aspirants for all positions.
