The Armada hoist is daily expected to
arrive in Livingston. Teams have been
| procured and it will be brought to Cas-
| tie as soon as it arrives
Mr.. Geo. T. Chambers came in on last
nights coach from Livingston and will
stop day or two looking after his in
terests here. He was happily surprised,
as the business done by Mr.. Selvidge has
been much larger than they anticipated
at this season of the year.
The water works company was incor-
porated the fore part of the week com
posed OF the following gentlemen: d. A.
Larson, Dr. Canney, ID. P. Suydam, JAS.
A. Addle and DR.. De Vere The capital
stock is placed at S5OO,OOO divided into
10000 shares at 50 each It is the inten-
ton OF the company to begin active opef-
atlons as soon as the weather will pe--
NIT, and franchise secured of the city
when mains will be laid throughout the

longer, put will push the work as fast as
possible. They think they can furnish
an abundance of water for all purposes.
On last Sunday the First National
Bank of Castle purchased the bank of
Stebbins Sons & Co. at White Sulphur
Springs and will remove the same to
Castle about the first of May. Mr.. j. L.
Fraser, who has been cashier of the
bank at the springs, will move to Castle
and act in the same capacity. Mr.. Fraser
has not only made legions of friends in
the Springs, but in Castle, also, where
his welcome will he an occasion to kill
the fatted calf and have the band meet
him and welcome his return to the car
bolate camp. Castle has long stood in
need OF banking institution, and with
such men as H. H. Mund, Billings; T. S.
Ash, Len Lewis, and many other heavy
capitalists Of the state, such word as
"faii" cannot be known to them. The
bank will be ready for business about
May first. Until a building can be er-
rected, temporary quarters will be had
in Mr.. Dinsmo.e's store.
Mr.. G. w. Savage Of Livingston, presi-
dent of the Anna G. Mining company,
paid us pleasant call Friday, having
just returned from visit to the mine,
where he had been paying the men off
who have completed the contract of run
ming tunnel 200 feet. Wonderful de-
velopments have taken place in this
property during the past winter. 1t can
no longer be classed as prospect, but is
a mine in every sense of the word. A
fine body of very high grade ore has
been encountered and experts who ex-
amined the property say that it is the
only true fissure vein yet discovered in
the Castle district, the vein lying be-
tween two well-deflned walls. 1t is the
intention of the company to run tun-
mel about 800 feet lower down the noun
tain which will give them depth of
1900 feet A large amount of money
will be expended this summer. When
such men as G. w. Savage, Robt. Rol-
Inns, J. V. Nye, J. G. Villas, cashier of the
Park bank, Mr.. Campbell and
Major Wyman, agent of the Grow reser-
walton, take hold Of a property it is sure
to be success. Treasury stock will be
placed on the market at 20 cents. The
men who had the contract were to take
part in stock and when Mr.. Savage set
tied with them he offered them the casn
but they preferred stock. This speaks
more favorably for the mine than any
thing that could be said, as the men in
charge have followed mining for twenty
Eve years. Another contract will be let
at once and work begun in week or
ten days. The Anna c is located in the
Four Mile district six miles from Castle,
near the famous Grasshopper.
