The first copy Of the illustrated weekly
of the Pacific Coast has reached our
table, and we must say that it surpasses
all our expectations. No pictorial jour
nal in the world is superior to this ele-
giant number of the West Shore, and the
thought that it is to be weekly visitor
is very pleasant one. The number be-
fore us contains a graphic sketch in
colors. entitled Running a Gauntlet
of Fire IN the Cascades and is very
striking and artistic picture of a railway
train dashing through forest fire.
There are a number of other illustrations
and illustrated articles, but by far the
finest picture we have seen in any Jour
nal is the beautiful engraving which
occupies two pages in the center of the
number, with the title of 'Last Day of
the Season" In it's drawing, grouping
and coloring it is simply superb. If this
is what the West Shore is going to give
us, and we are promised such treat
every week, we will always look forward
to its coming with pleasant satisfaction.
Such an elegant and artistic journal as
this will be in great demand everywhere,
especially with those who feel an interest
in the grand scenery of the West and the
graphic sketches of Pacific Coast Incl
dents it will contain.
Considerable excitement has been oc-
casioned over the discovery of placer
ground on the Clark's Fork, about twenty
miles south of Red Lodge, and quite a
stampede from that town has resulted. In
addition to the placers it is claimed that
quartz has been discovered N the same
locality, the smallest assay OF which pro-
duced $13 per ton in gold.
Frank Hollywood, GRANTEES nominee
for representative to the state legisla-
ture, has been making skirmish through
the county the past week. Frank is
we'll known throughout this vicinity, and
has many friends from California, Ne
vada AMI other mining sections. He
was president of the Bodie Miners
Union in 1880, president Of the working
mems assembly in Butte a few years
past, and four years ago president Of the
Butte Miners Union, a fact which many
of his old friends remember. Frank is a
rustler and if he is downed it will not be
for the lack Of an energenic canvass.
