Saver Continuation

Tuck & Huelster are making good
Roadway in the construction of the sewer.
A force of about so men are engaged.
The work of excavating is very difficult,
much of the distance being through
shale rock or very hard clay which must
be loosened with the pick. Much of the
earth must be handled five times on &C.
count of the depth Of the trenches. After
the trench is in order the large sections
of pipe, each weighing over 800 pounds,
are lowered into position with a derrick
and the joints carefully cemented. Over
$500 feet of this large pipe have been
put in. The contractors are leaving the
street behind them in better condition
than before work was commenced. La
borers on this work receive from So to SO
per day, but even this figure does not Sc
cure enough men.

Picnics, Music and Athletic Sports--The
March of Progress.
Especial Correspondence of the TRIBUNE,)
UPPER BELT, July 5.-Arriv,ng at an
early hour at this loveliest little village
of the valley 1t seemed at first as though
the people had failed to respond to the
nations anniversary. The Neihart brass
band was there disconrsing patriotic airs,
and an occasional appreciative listener
might he seen here and there, hut where
was the Fourth of Julyp
Sauntering through the grove one
came upon Il cosy little family party Of
perhaps Il dozen, with their horses pick
eted around, their lunch bnsket in tempt
ing proximity, and the party enjoying
the refreshing shade close to the ripping
waters of the coquettlsh little stream, A
little farther on, another party, and so or
in countless repetition for Il mile or more
up and down the romantic glade. Soon
benches were spread. groups gathered
around, and the inner man being made
comfortable the crowd began to material
ize, and the scene hecame an animated one.
Hundreds of people gathered on the
slope below the Townsite company's Of
fee to witness the running race, best two
in three for a purse of $25. Five horses
were entered and Joe Lamb easily won
the purse in two straight heats. He was
loudly cheered. The band played an en-
livenlng strain and the crowd become
enthusiastic aud scon all sorts of sports
were inaugurated. Horses were speeded
that had no knowledge Of the turf, foot
races were run, athletes tried their pow
ers in good natured sallirs o. strength;
mine host of the Martin house catered to
the wants OF the crowd with delicious ice
cream and lemonade and tall went merry
as a marriage bell" The fireworks and
dance in the evening We're a fitting close
for the merry day and gave the young
people q chance to work off the hilarity
of their spirits.
A moment of retrospect brought back
a vision OF this pleasant resort n year
ago. Eternal solitude reigned supreme,
and the silence was unbroken save by the
music of the waters or the signing of the
breeze. No living forms were to be
seen. The trout 1oundered unmolested
down the dancing rifle, of the Belt and
the deepening shadows were haunted
only by the wing of the curlew or the
flushing colors of the magpie, Now the
lion horse thunders up alongside the
mountains. The grove is thickly stud
ded with buildings. A telegraph liue,
postofice and various business houses
proclaim the fact that IL town has emerged
from the nowhere into the now, and one
more townsite company is made happy.
This general turnout for a Fourth Of
July celebration leaves no doubt in the
minds Of our people that Monarch Is to
be the central resort of business and
pleasure for the people of this fertile
valley. Neihart, Kibby and all the ron
tiguous country were well represented
at this christening of the newborn town
and the commemmoration of the nations
birth,

ings in this locality. The managers of the
company are now satisfied IL at all those
large iron cappings when followed down
invariably turn to %carbonates. The COM
pany is now interested in ten of these
properties and have placed some more of
the stock on the market at ten cents for
the purpose of development. This is a
good investment as all the stock IS
treasury stock and each stakeholder is
developing his own property. The pro-
ceeds of the sale of stock
are all used III work on
the mines. There are no salaried officers.
Less than 10000 shares out of
one million have been sold. The
books will undoubtedly he closed before
the stock is one fourth sold and several
OF the properties will be sold, the pro-
ceeds of which will be dividends, leaving
enough for the company to work.
This is a good chance for a mar with a
small capital to get interested in mines
as the stock is worcestershire and all the
money put In is developing your own
property. With one of the mines de-
veloped the stock would undoubtedly
go above par. The stock can be had BY
calling on or addressing the president or
secretary of the company.

WOol-G Notes.

1t seems to be the opinion among wool
buyers that the Benton receipts will not
exceed 100000 pounds this year. About
100000 pounds of wool have been sold at
Big Timber and Billings at 18 cents. Some
wool has also sold for 20 cents there. A
few wool-growers in the Judith who came
to Great Falls last year will go to Bill
lings this year owing to some special in
ducements, but most of them are deter
mined to come here next veal.

Gil authorized the mayor and clerk to ad-
vertise for bids for pipe for lateral sewers
and the engineer was instructed to place
the advertisements in the hands of east
