THE WESTERN SWANSEA.
An Investor in Anaconda Real Estate Gives
Reasons for the Faith He Has in the
Towns Future.

Towns Future.
In conversation with one of the county
officials yesterday, the gentleman admitted
to a reporter that he had recently made
some heavy investments in real estate at
Anaconda, and on being pressed for bis
reasoLs for doing SO, said: ITO tell you
the truth, I have greater confidence in the
permanence of Anaconda than 1 have in
that OF Butte. Not that l have lost faith
in the latter place. By no means. 1t is
bound to grow and will reach far larger
proportions than at present."
"But Anaconda has only it's smelter to
depend upon" was urged.
THAT is true, but 1 look to see that
smelter in no very long time become as
great as that of Swansea. The company
will develop its capacity and dc it's own re-
fning and there will he no occasion to send
matte to Wales. 1t will become the smell.
ter OF the Northwest, in my opinion. With
the unlimi ted capital the company has at
it's command it will soon discover the
secrets that nave made Swansea great and
when this is attained you eau imagine the
p~ernanency OF the institution
"But the smelter itself will not build up
a large town. Do you look for any other
industries to be established there?"
"Yes. I think the workshops OF the
| Montana Union will be there Inc in add.
| ton I have reason to believe hat you will
| see it the center OF important iron indus
tries, such as rolling mills"
Are there any iron deposits neor it y"
Why certainly. There is in the vicin'
ity, or not far from it, one OF the largest
iron deposits in the country, that will riva
the Iron Mountain OF Missouri. It is prac
tically inexhaustible, and will supply ar
Immense iron industry. Then again, l an
convinced that the railroad is not going tc
stop there. It will be extended beyond to
dead certainty. The Montana Central il
bound to build to it, and in my opinion
the survey being ostensibly made for th'
Anaconda Company is really for the Mon
tana Central. OF course 1 do no
say so as a fact, but l am sure tina
when Mr.. Law takes hold OF the Montans
IUnion some new arrangement will be mad,
with the Anaconda Company that will
make any separate enterprise on the par
OF the latter unnecessary. These are tn
grounds Of my faith in Anaconda, and.
you ever live to see it, you will see it tn
seat of some OF the most fourishiDg in
idustries in the West"

IN a AGAIN.
The Distractions ON the Montana Central
Trestle Removed.


Trestle Removed.
ALI day yesterday and the day before the
wrecking gang of the Montana Central were
at work removing the distractions at
Deadman's Gus. Ii, and repairing the trestle.
There were several stringers broken by the
car that went over the side Of the trestle in
its descent and about 200 ties damaged on
the trestle where the cars ran off the track.
These repairs were completed yesterday in
time to admit Of the Montana Pacific
Express, due at $50, arriving at the
depot.
Yesterday morning and afternoon the
trains came no nearer than Woodyille, and
passengers were transferred to and from
there in vehicles. 1t just happened that
the number OF passengers leaving yesterday
by the Montana Central was larger than
for q long time. It taxed the resources OF
Lavell's stable to supply the vehicles for
the forty or fifty passengers who needed
transportation to Woodyille. The
sleighing IN the canyon is pronounced
very poor, and the wheeling is said
to be bad. One of the baggage wagons
broke down before it had gone far rom the
depot and had to DO hauled back to the
stable and a substitute procured.
Conductor Cook, who was on the train
that got wrecked at Deadman's Gulch,
went out last night in charge OF his train as
usual. He stated yesterday that a man
can drop q stick OF wood over the side OF
the trestle and count seven slowly ere it
reaches the bottom.

A man Well Known in the Mining Camps
1 of the West.
News was received in this city yesterday
OF the death of Bob Clark, an old-timer,
well known all over the coast and highly
thought OF by all who knew him. He was
shot and killed at Bisbee, Arizona, on the
18th instant. The circumstan. es leading
up to the affair in brief were that some
time ago q sister Of Mrs. Clark came to live
with them. She formed the &C
qu~aintanca Of a young man
whom Bob knew to have an BILE
reputation, and he and his wife objected to
her keeping company with him, and for
babe him visiting her. On the fatal day
Bob had some words with the man about
it and he ended the controversy by pulling
a pistol and killing Bob, who was buried
the following Tuesday. He had filled the
position of foreman in mines at Bodie and
in several OF the camps of the West, and
there are doubtless many here who will re-
greet to heal of his taking off.
