In the district court today Mccarthy

GRAND JURY REPORT.
The grand jury reported today. The
report deals largely with county admin
istration. both past and present, and some
good recommendations are offered. The
jury thinks the game and fish law has
been violated, but they could find no in
dictment. They do not refer to MajorGen-
eral julius Demosthenes Taylor, the ex-
fish and game warden, for campaign pur-
poses.
The ~ex-county surveyor receives a good
benefit. He was negligent in
making returns and plats. The old
board Of commissioners is equally to
blame for allowing his bills under the
circumstances They recommend that a
SUIT be brought to compel the surveyor
to complete his work, particularly the
survey of the line between Cascade and
Meagher counties.
Here is some good advice: eve find
that the old board have in the past year
allowed enormous bill presented by road
supervisors. We recommend that the
present board be more careful in allow
ing bills in the future and that the COM
missioners remove some of the present
road supervisors, and that none but men
of honesty and integrity be appointed"
They recommend to the commissioners
that the latter should insist on county Of
ficers filing quarterly reports and that
the clerk be furnished a book t keep an
account of the reports of officers who are
allowed to collect money. They also
recommend that suit be brought against
eX-Probate Judge Rolfe to compel him
to write up his minutes and complete the
records during his term.
The Jail and poor house are found in
good condition. Varying comments
work and records Of the county officers,
old and new.
The jury recommends that the vaults
be examined by an expert and his report
observed. In concluding they say: 1--WE
are grateful for your Judge Benton) ex-
pllcit instructions for our guidence, to
the prosecuting attorney for his courtesies
in giving us legal advice and to the
sheriff and his deputies for their readi-
ness in complying with u requests.

PAUL SAVAGE TRIED,
Al Jewell Tells All About the Stabbing
Array.

AL Jewell Tells All About the stabbing
Array.
County Attorney Martin appeared for
the state and Mr.. Brady for the defense
at the trial of Paul Savage. A jury was
empanelled promptly. Al Jewell testi-
fed clearly that the defendant came up
to him on December ., last, on Central
avenue, and asked him who he was look
ing for and who he wanted. Savage then
stabbed him with a knife under the arm
and also made a ''sweep' at his throat.
Jewell added, that after the attack he
knocked Savage down three times and
kicked him.
George Ryan testified that Savage had
a knife in his hand before the ARRAY.
MI. Brady cross-examined both wit
nesses and ELECTED the fact that Savage
was "upder the influence OF liquor"
despite some objections from Mr.. Mar
tin to the questions.
Savage testified in his own behalf that
he did not know that he stabbed Jewell.
Mrs. Savage was called, but the prosecu-
ton admitted the facts relative to the
knife, about which she was to testify.
The defense hen closed.
COURT ROOM NOTES.
Judge Benton charges juries clearly
and fairly. Such is the general opinion
of the bar.
Mrs. Savage sat beside her husband at
the trial today.
AL Jewell caused a laugh today by say
ing that he was something of a scrapper.
The trial jurors are becoming accus-
toned to business.
1t is expected that the jury trials will
end by Saturday.
The court is greatly crowded this after
noon.

A South African Gold Mine.

The hitherto comparatively UNEMPLOYED
district of Witwatesrendt having been
prospected is now producing results as
sensational as were experienced in the
days of the Australian gold fever, and
those results will evidently be supplant-
ed when enterprising spectators have
gone further atield. During the past
year no fewer than 1900 stamps have
been laid down at Witwatesrendt, thus
bringing up the total numbe to two
thousand; and further extensive engin-
eering works are being carried out to
meet the ~exigencies of a development in
mining that is truly phenomenal. A suf-
ficent illustration of this development is
found in the yield of the Robinson mine,
which, when a 10.stamp battery, had a
crushing in November Of 1000 ounces.
1t can, therefore, give rise to no astonish-
ment that a Cos. share in this mine has
now reached the extraordinary value of
f64. Such a figure is of course excep-
tional, though the shares of other CON-
panies command a very high premium.

GREAT FALLS AND CANADA,
Interesting Remarks on the Proposed
Route.

Interesting Remarks on the Proposed
Route.
"The Great Falls and Canada company
will make a mistake if they don't build
near Choteau," so says Geo. Richards,
stockman and proprietor of the Choteau
saw mill. "The route up Sun river to
Little Muddy, and thence to the bench
and across to Choteau would give a nat
ural water grade all the way and require
very light work. From Choteau the route
should be through Armstrong; gap,
which is a natural divide between the
head waters of Blackleaf and Dupuyer.
BY this route the road would reach Pie
gan with only one short cut. This is a
natural grade most of the way and ties
could be laid on the prairie. All this
country through which the road would
pass is good agricultural land and would
10 furnish a great deal of local traffic"
(Which is the best route across the
Rockies?"
"The Great Northern should go up the
south fork of the Muddy, which leads by
IN easy water grade up to the Marias
pass, and it is no trouble to cross there.
The head waters of the Blackfoot are just
on the other side and the descent is easy.
This route offers easy approaches on both
sides and will open up one of the richest
coal and timber districts in America.
There are veins of coal of the finest quail
ity that are over 90 feet thick, while the
timber is as good as any to be found in
Washington"

RAILROAD.
Tie Cutting to Progress With Rapidly
Engineer Barclay En-
Route to This
City.

Sam Grant received from his father,
Donald Grant, Wednesday, a telegram in
structing him to have all ties for the
Great Falls l. Northern r. r.. cut to mar
row gauge length, as it has been decided
by the management to construct a narrow
gauge road to conform with the line al
ready in operation between Lethbridge
and Dunmore, instead of a standard guage
as was at first contemplated. Some ties
of the standard length had been cut in
the mountains, but Mr.. Grant sent cour-
iers to the several camps and by this time
the men are getting out the short ties.
Other camps in the timber will be es-
tablished at once. The timber required
will be procured at the head of Wolf
creek, the Teton and in the Smith river
canyon. Steps have been taken to put
many men at work at each of these
places.
Mr.. Grant informs us that work on the
new line will begin as soon as possible
and that it will be pushed through to
completion this season. He expects his
father and Engineer Barclay here in a
few days, when the surveys and other
preparatory work will so speedily On.
The change to narrow gauge is not a sur
prise to Mr.. Grant, as the company here
tofore had such a line only in contempla-
ton. The standard gauge proposition is
of recent origin and after canvassing the
pros and con Of the matter the manage
ment decided to make the road a narrow
gauge.

his untiring energy has not been wasted.
From the very first he has stoutly main
tanned that the property belonging to the
company needed only development to
make it the most substantial IN the state
of Montana, and now that this has been
done the truth of his assertions have been
verified in more ways than one. To sum
up the total to Mr.. COUGHS credit, the
Boston & Montana people are fortunate
in having a mar of his wide experience

under his management the mines and
