WILL BE BUILT AT NEIHART.

A lOO-Ton Mill for That Town and n Gus

The Great Falls Tribune's story of the
1OO-ton mill at Neihart, to work the ores OF
the Queen of the Hills mine, was only lack
ing in one important particular. in leaving
a doubt as to where the plant will be
erected. From q gentleman who knows it
10 learned that the mill will be put in at
Neihart, in close proximity to the mine.
There is not a doubt as to the great value
Of the ore body in the Queen of the Hills
and the owners of that property a the
reduction works situated on the mill site
they own in connection with the mine,
which will furnish all the ore it can treat.
The plant talked over with Supt. John
son is q custom plant, and the gentlemen
here to inspect the situation at NeihRrt
were so favorably impressed with what they
saw that there is a strong probability a
mill equally as large as the one to be built
at Neibart will be erected in this city, That
such a plant would pay q handsome return
on the investment no one familiar with the
mines contiguous city can for a moment
question. and the news that such
men as Messrs. Kitchener and Lawrence
have the erection of works here in coptem-
plation will be gladly received by the
owners. should this additional plant be
decided upon, construction will lmmedi-
ate!y follow the starting of the one at
Neihart.

Sam Neall, foreman of the chemical
department at headquarters, who is an
old man in the service of the fire de-

that strongly predicates such a propen-
sity. "Poor JONES'" he said, with a

DRAMA OF THE MAIL.

Tho Postal Law Breaks up a Plot of Dis
honest Men.
A letter once mailed no longer be.
longs to the sender, but is the property
of the person to whom 1t is addressed.
Such is the postal law, but it is a law
often violated by postmasters in small
places where correspondents are likely
to be personally known to the post
Office authorities and sometimes leads
to curious complications in large ones
where this is not the case.
Important business interests have
been affected by the same law. A firm
which had long been really insolvent,
had succeeded in keeping the knowledge
from the public and continued to re-
ceive money from investors, which the
partners employed dishonesty for THEN
own advantage.
1t was their intention to raise one
more large sum of money, part of which
was to be contributed by business
friend of one of them, and then tc
leave the country with their spoil, and
let their creditors shift for themselves
But the wife of the business friend and
the wife of the man who meant to
victimize him frequently correspondent
with each other, and the latter wrote a
gay, gossiping letter to the former, in
which she mentioned that her husband
had been in poor health lately on &C
count of business troubles, but that she
trusted their approaching trip to Canada
would restore him.
Remembering too late that her hus-
band had asked her to mention neither
of these facts, and fearing to vex him,
she went to the post Office to recall her
letter.
The postmaster refused to give it up
She could give no good reason for de-
manding it, and become petulant and
irritated when he continued to refuse
He remained firm, and the letter was
sent
The receiver showed it to her hus-
band, whose suspicious were aroused
He made an investigation, and as a con-
sequence the dishonest firm was broken
up, and both the partners arrested and
punished.
Intercepted letters have long been a
theme of drama and romance A letter
which could not be intercepted, but had
to go in spite of the sender's express de-
sire and entreaty, might offer an inter-
| esting variety.--N. Y. Journal.
