The executive committee Of the board
of trade has been at work for some time
past circulating petitions for the amend
ment Of the senate bill locating "a land
Office at Fort Benton. This petition has
been circulated not from any enmity to
Fort Benton, but simply because Great

generally signed and will soon be for
wardcd to Representative Dixon. 1t
reads as follows:

Sixty-fonr square Miles Of Iron Lynn:

Ground.
4 Discovery the Importance Of Which
Cannot lr Estimated at
This bay.

Mr.. William X. Ralston, the well
known wool grower and stockman OF
Choteau, was in the city yesterday on
his way to Fort Benton to attend to
some county business. Before leaving
the gentleman submitted to an interview
by a TRIBUNE representative. the sub
ject matter being his great find Of tho
so-called iron mountain. In reply to
question Mr.. Ralston said it was O a
mountain of iron as has been enormously
reported, but his find consisted OF a
blanket lode of magnetic iron covering
EIGHT MILES SQUARE.
on an elevated plateau, or sixty-four
square miles of territory. The great
lode is situated nine miles west OF the
town of Chotcau, and as far az known
covers the area of ground named. The
top of the lode is just under the grass
roots and maintains its horizontal posi-
ton for a distance Of eight or ten miles,
when 1t dips to the westward and sur
face indications disappear. The lode
varies from two feet to thirteen feet in
thickness and rests upon easily dis
placed sand.
No DRILLING or BLASTING
is required to mine the ore. 1t readily
yields to the pick and is taken off in
layers or sheets from two inches to one
foot in thickness.
Mr.. Ralston has sent samples of the
ore to several iron-worke S in the east,
among whom are Carnegie. PhIpps Il Co.
The %latter's analysis records from GIL.
per cent to ~ per cent pure iron and 3
per cent Of platinum. The returns from
the others vary but slightly from these
figures. The Carnegie firm informed
Mr.. I,alston that the ore is worth $3.50
per ton. at the present low price of iron,
to any works which handle and reduce
iron ore. The iron

and soon covers IA pick with a deep layer
Of fine iron dust. Properly combined
with galcna ore it makes an excellent
hux for the reduction Of refractory ores.
The extent of this vast lode is not yet
determined, but about all of it in sight

parties. The value Of this discovery can
not well bc estimated at this date. Its
nearest point Is twenty miles
from the Great Falls II Can
ada railway and no organized
effort is being made to work the proper
ties further than the representative labor
required under the law. The time may
come, and much sooner than many sup
pose. when the
EMAND O TIE ORES
will justify the building of a connecting
line to the great lode. When that shall
bc done and furnaces lighted up in this
city Great Falls may become as justly
noted for its output Of pig iron as it soon
will he for its shipments of silver, cop
per and lead. That immense deposit Of
iron will yet furnish rcmuncratlve EN-
ploymcnt for thousands of men and
open up new industries in which capital
may lind profitable investments.

which she wrote to her friend last sum-
mer, what the Finnish girls were wear

effect: "The girls in Finland have very
pretty costume this year. 1t consists of
a blue serge skirt and blazer, a silk shirt
and broad brimmed sailor hat. MANY,
many girls wear this costume. l see

of Washington, and the colony of Brit
ish Columbia and in Honolulu and Mel
bourne We're wearing the same blue
suits and sailor hats that the girls in
Helsingfors and ST. Petersburg We're,
and when they got ont of car probably
they smoothed them down at the small
of the back with the back of one hand in
exactly the same way.
That movement, by the way is the
most universal and characteristic ges-

habitual even than sitting on the foot or
putting both hands at the back of the

She Stopped the Train.

Fern Bluff, prospective city on the
Great Northern a few miles west of
Sultan, has a heroine in the person of
Miss May Feak. She is modest school
girl about sixteen years of age and re-
sides with her parents upon a ranch
close to town.
The recent rains had caused drain to
clog which carried away the surface
water from a hillside cut past which the
young miss walked on her way to and
from school. On approaching the place
she noticed that the rain of the previous
night had washed out the sandy soil
from beneath the rails for distance of
ten feet, leaving them suspended over a
pit several feet in depth. She knew a
construction train was due about that
time and instead of proceeding waited
to signal it.
A large number of cars of material,
and having 200 men aboard, soon came
in sight. The engineer looked ahead,
saw the signal and stopped the train be-
fore reaching the danger point. He
leaped from the cab, thanked the young
lady and inquired her name. She ac-
knowledged the. thanks, but turned i'm
mediately and went her way, leaving
the men to wonder and to repair the
damage.
Subsequent inquiry was made by the
road officials, and the modest young wo-
man was promised life pass over the

How She Wears Her Hair,

Hardly woman wears her hair en-
tirely plain. She may not be given to
putting and waving and curling the locks
themselves, but she is very apt to intro
duce some sort of ornament into it.
Bandeaux are very popular, and come in
gold, silver and tortoise shell, as well as
in ribbon to match the gown. Then
there is an especially elaborate piece of
network of gold and pearls called the
Mary Stuart Golf, which is worn over the
loosely coiled hair, but is rather expen-
sive for the woman of moderate means.
Very pretty braids in silver, with high,
crownlike fronts cut in long, slender
points, and either FURNISHED until they
shine like diamonds or left dull, are be-
coming to all faces, and need no special
arrangement of the hair, as they sit well
on the head, whether it is arranged high
or low.-New York Letter.
