that railroad sixteen miles long,
from Greeley, Coi,rAd,, t, Idaho
Greek, ON the LyonS branch of the
Burlington d Missouri, which will
at once be built. This will give
Greeley competing line TO Denver
via the Burlington, will be eight
miles shorter than the Union Paciti C
road. The latter road is the only
road reaching Greeley now, and the
new road is the outcome of dissatis-
faction with the railroad facilities

Greeley people, who will own the
road, but will allow the Burlington

Last week sure thing man was on
his way from San Francisco to El
Paso with fighting dog to make Il
match. While on the train he prac-
tised some of his sure thing snaps
simply to keep his hand n just be-.
fore reaching the Colorado river he
was doing the shell game business
with some pill boxes. a poor Jap.
anese was interested in seeing the
boxes move, and finally was induced
to make bet. His only money was
500 bill, and he agreed to bet $l5.
OF course he lost, and the sure
thing man gave him his
change. The poor Jap was heart
broken at losing so much money and
the passengers were indignant at see
ing poor, ignorant person robbed.
The Jap got off at Yuma and was
seen no more. Shortly afterwards,
Mr.. Sure was counting his gains, and
was particularly pleased when he
came to the big bill. He looked at
it fondly and then suspiciously. A
close examination showed it was
counterfeit, and he was greatly en-.
ragged at being robbed. He wanted
the conductor to telegraph back to
Yuma and have the wicked Jap arrest
&c, but the conductor told him he had
better pocket the loss and not go
back after the Jap, as he was one of
the oldest and slickest gamblers on
the coast; he had gambled and won
in every mining camp from the Com
stock down and was entirely too
smooth to let common shell man
get away with him.--Liberal,

A similar spirit of fricndliness aught to
exist between all the cities of the state.
1t is all right to indulge in friendly riv-

FIRST COPPER MATTE
Turned Out Friday by the Isoston l. Mon
tana.

Turned Out Friday by the iioston Il Mon
The great Bottom d Montana plant be-
gan turning out copper matte Friday
and from O on the daily output of
this metal will be a regular occurrence.
The first run amounted to about SIX
tons, a small fraction of the capacity of
the plant when running full blast. Only
one of the eight furnaces is used at
present as this is considered more of a
test than anything else. When all Of the
furnaces ere in use, which will be very
soon, the smelter will handle about 400
tons of concentrates per day of twenty
four hours.
Each Of the furnaces will treat from
forty to fifty fine ions of ore per day.
When the facilities for shipping ore here
from Butte are better the concentrator
and smeiter will be run at full blast and
the great plant an then be considered
one of tho permanent industries of the
town.
This is the cnly smelter 10 the country

an experiment end until the feasibility
of such atuel is we'll established the
company do not feel like running the
plant at its fullest capacity. The first
run has proved very satisfactory and
from all accounts it is safe to say the
system will not be abandoned.
There is a copper plant in Natroona,
Pa, which is u by natural gas and as
that is a success there seems to be moth
ing in the way Of using artificial gas.
The COL contractor is handling about
FIVE cars of ore a day or about one-fourth
Of its regular capacity. Every piece of
machinery in the immense concern
works like a charm from the rock
crushers to the Trainers.
1t would do the average Great Falls
citizen a u3rld of good to visit the dam
and the 3. & III. plant. The hopes OF
the most sanguine are at last realized
for there can be ssen in operation one Of
the raost complete Commentators anC

which characterizes the christian when
sitting behind four aces with a jackpot
in sight, contemplated'the fight between
the two factions and enjoyed all the fun
to be extracted from it.
The warning factions, however, felt
far from funny. Much bitterness was
displayed, but at no time did it culmin-
ate in blows. Each found vent for its
pent-up feelings in a shout or two for
it's favorite candidate, and then washed
down its unemptied wrath in 5-cent beer
Yet there was no bOisterous or disorderly
conduct upon the part of either. The
whole election amounted simply to a
tempest in a teapot. The c~ombatants
will doubtless be hugging and kissing
each other in the fall campaign, each
swearing upon the shoulder of the other
undying love and that naught should
separate them again.
The result of the election showed that

half breed class. In fact the flag fell in
their faces and they were distanced in
the first heat. They were not in it from
the word go. The following is the re-
