1t becomes the sad duty of the colonel
commanding the First Regiment of Ma
tional Guard of Montana to announce to
the members thereof, the death on the
31st Of January, at his home in Helena,
Montana, of Lieut.. Colonel Ross Deegan,
the first lieutenant colonel of the First
Regiment National Guards Of Montana.
Disabled by illness, from the discharge
of the duties of the position, he yet en-
deared himself to the members Of the
guard, by his uniform courtesy and dig
nifty of character. His death is a severe
loss to the guard, for whose service he
labored so %zealously, being instrumental
in placing IT on its present firm and pros
porous footing. The officers of the regi-
ment are requested, in his honor, to wear
the usual badge of mourning for the per-
iod of 80 days.

Col. and Mrs. B%roadwater and daughter
were on the train which left here for
Helena today. They are returning home
from a tour which embraced Bermuda,
Washington and New York. The colo
mel looked strong and robust after his So
journ by the broad Atlantic at Hamilton,
Bermuda, which is about two and a half
days sail of New York. He must have
found the island a small place compared
with the vast area Of Montana, as it is
only sixteen miles long and one mile
wide. He doubtless felt Ike the Ameri-
can tourist in England, who said he was
afraid that he might slip off the island.
For the first time in some years Colonel
Broadwater has had perfect repose. He
was away from telegraphs and
railroads. He was cut off entirely from
the busy, restless life of the mainland,
from which no tidings came except when
the mail steamer arrived with papers
some days old. He found the people en-
gagged chiefly in raising potatoes and
onions, much of which they send to New
York, which is their nearest market.
The mild climate enables them to raise
these vegetables earlier than most places.
Colonel Broadwater's son, who is at the
Faribault military academy, came to st.
Paul to see him.

REAL ESTATE INTERESTS.
Mr. Preston King Buys Desirable Prop
crty,

crty.
Mr.. Preston King continues to mani
fest the confidence that he has displayed
from the start, in the advancement of
Great Falls. He has at his services the
best sources of information regarding the
railroad and other interests of this city.
All this combined with a progressive
spirit and sound judgment impels him to
make investments with the firm expect
alton that they will yield a large return.
In his own city, Minneapolis, Mr.. King
sees what water power, railroads and pro-
ductive tributary country will accom-
plish. The predictions of his father,
Colonel King, have been more than
verified in the wonderful growth of the
city for which he labored with so much
zeal and public spirit. In Great Falls,
Mr.. King sees like conditions will pro-
duce like results.
In addition to his other investments
here Mr.. King has bought the house and
lots occupied by Barnes & Collect, Schmitz
u Henderson, owned by Will Hanks and
Ed Canary respectively. He has paid
for this so feet, $4,000, which is at the
rate of $3.50 per front foot.
This property with that which he had
previously bought, gives Mr.. King a 'front.'
age of 1876 feet IN one of the best parts
of Central avenue. 1t is his intention to
turn this splendid site to the best account.
He will build there q noble block which
will combine all the architectural merits
Of metropolitan buildings. 1t may IN
time attain the stately proportions of the
Syndiate block in Minneapolis, which is
the largest under one roof in the United
States. Mr.. King has the wealth, taste
and enterprise to undertake such a work.
This is n of the many transactions of
like character that may be looked for
soon in Great Falls. The property own
ers include already some of the largest
capitalists and most enterprising men in
the United States. They are all concern
ed in the advancement of the city. Their
example will be followed by an influx of
Investments, small and large, that will
enhance the value of property and en-
belish our streets and venues with fine
stores and residences.

HOME ENTERPRISE.
Tie Great Dam VIII be Built by the
TOwnsite @ ,mp ny.

T.,e Great Dam win be Built by the
Townsits g mp ny.
Fred Whitesides, who was the lowest
bidder for the labor required in the con
struction of the dam across the Missouri
river at the Black Eagle falls, having
failed to file his bond for the faithful
performance of the work, 1t has been de-
cided by the Water Power and Townsite
company, on the advice of Mr.. flaming,
consulting engineer, to have the work
done themselves, under the charge of u
thoroughly competent superintendent,
with the experience and training that will
enable him to carry out successfully so
difficult an undertaking as this will be.
MI. Tanning has selected such a man and
he will be on the ground in a short time
ready to begin active operations.
Engineer Parker will have direct
charge of the work on the dam, under
Mr.. flaming, who will make frequent
visits here during the season, to inspect
the work and see that it is properly car
ried on.
The extent of this undertaking may In
a manner be estimated by the fact that
the first outlay for machinery-such as
engines, derricks, etc.-to carry on the
work will exceed $4,000. These are now
being purchased and will be forwarded
here as soon as possible.
A large force of men will be employed
during the season quarrying stone for the
dam and this will he doubtless the first
part of the work to be started.
The fact that the Townsite company
has decided to build the dam themselves,
without the intervention of contractors,
is, we think, a matter for cong~ratulatlon
so far as this city is concerned. 1t is a
guarantee that tine work will go on steadily
and smoothly, without any trouble to
workmen or those who furnish supplies,
as might possibly have been the case
otherwise. Great Falls will also get the
full benefit, so far as the purchasing of
material, supplies, ETC., is concerned. The
immense sum Of money to be paid out
will, SO far as possible, circulate in home
channels and thus result in the greatest
possible good to the community.

HELENA, Feb. 28.-A short distance
from the tracks of the Montana Central
and Northern Pacific railroads on the
Boulder is the Obelisk mine. on Cataract
creek. 1t is developed by a shaft $50 feet
deep, 800 or 400 feet of cross-cuts, drifts
and levels. The lead is nearly so feet
wide, and although several rich streaks
have been cut, the larger portion of it lie
concentrating rock. The average width
of the largest high grade streak Is eight
feet, but in places it Is IS feet. At the
bottom of the winze, which is 1870 feet
from the surface, the largest streak is
eight feet in width. The ore shipped
from the mine is carefully assorted, and
runs from 100 to 100 ounces per ton IN

have no better means than you of know
ing what the decision will be. l find q
great unanimity Of opinion concerning
the next presidential election. All dem

Good Strike in tho Mayfiower.

HELENA, Feb. 28.-lt is learned from
parties who came in from the Little
Blackfoot region that a good strike has
been made on the Mayflower lode, SIT
uated about eight miles south of Elliston.
The shaft is down 100 feet and a level ITO
feet in length has been run along the
vein, which Is ten feet between walls.
The ore encountered is from eight inches
to three feet in width aud assays from 100
to 700 ounces to the ton. A winz is now
being raised from the end of the tunnel
20 the surface for air, When this is COM
pleted the work of stopping out the ore
will begin and more extensive develop
ments made.
