Slid Down u Mountain.

Nester Anderson, miner who
has been employed on the Cliff mine,
near Missoula, lately met with pc
culiar and distressing accident. The
location of the mine is on one of the
highest mountains on the Bitter
Root range. While Anderson and
three companions were leaving to GO
to the valley for supplies he slipped
and commenced sliding down the
steep mountain side on the hard
crusted snow. All efforts to stop
himself were futile and he was soon
going with a terrific velocity, finally
coming against Il tree several hun
dred feet from the starting point
His injuries consisted of terrible
bruises and a fractured and dislocat-
ed thigh. 1t was seven miles by a
rough trail to the wagon road and
his companions were compelled to
carry him that distance. He was
brought to Missoula on the Bitter
Root train.-Western News.

Our Friends Outside.

A superb showing is being made
by the Neihart and Barker districts
this spring. Conservative accounts
of the strikes in the Benton group
and in other properties in that region
are enough to convince the most
skeptical that some of the greatest
mines in the state will have THEN
fame coupled in the future with that
of the Belt range. There is no lack
of activity at Castle either, but this
great camp cannot see it's palmy
days until it is given railroad facili-
ties. Latest advices here give pos
tive indications that the actual work
of construction will not be much
longer delayed. Nothing seems to
be in the way except completion OF
the survey.
Development work on f. A.
Fischer's abestos mine, near Town
send will be begun shortly. The
The vein is about two feet wide and
has been traced a distance of 1900
feet in length. Negotiations are now
on foot for sale of the product to
eastern parties. Considering the
many uses to which asbestos is pu
in this day, the Townsend mine il
sure to become very valuable pro

During all this year business news
has been curiously sectional. West
ern cities are gaining, almost with
out exception, doing the largest
business ever known and inclined to
recent the suggestion that it is in
any degree below exceptions. The
The south all the year has been
struggling with unfavorable condi-
tons, doing less business than year
ago and looking in vain for a mater
ial change. The East has been do
ing a large business, rather less than
a year ago on the whole, but espec-
tally less than many traders expected
to do this year. This with very thin
profits makes the season disappointing
to many. These conditions contin-
ue and are reflected in returns this
week. Yet the volume of trade in
the whole country has been larger
than in any previous year.-Dun's

Aiding their Brethren.

A meeting of the Miners union
was held last evening for the purpose
of taking some action in regard to
assisting the miners of the Coeur d.
Alene district who are now on a
strike for higher wages and shorter
hours of labor. The deliberation of
the body was of course secret, but
enough was learned from members
after the meeting was over to justify
the belief that the Union decided to
give to the various unions of the dis
tressed district financial assistance.
TO what extent, however, is unknown.
One or two persons from the Cnur
d'Alene were present and laid their
condition before the meeting.-Sun-

million feet, one-half Of which came from
the Ammonusic river in New Hampshire,
in charge Of John Chapman, and the others
from the head of White river in Vermont.
The one from the Ammonusic has been
brought 123 miles and the one from White
river about 40. As a whole the expense
this year has been much larger than last
year or in many former years, owing to the
low water early in the season, which held
the drives stationary for some weeks, with
the men under pay at quite large expense.
When they started however they came
through rapidly passing in the Connecticut
river portion of the large Connecticut
River Lumber companys drives, which was
laid up high on the banks. The expense
Of running these logs varies largely differ
cnl seasons. Last year the drive brought
from beyond Wells river cost for the 96
miles Of distance by river from Wells river
here only I'll cents per thousand feet, and
the same distance this year probably cost
no more. the loss being before reaching
that point. On the AmmOnusic they have
had to build large dams or reservoirs in
the head waters of the river, storing up a
portion of he tday and then letting it out
in a food, thus moving logs three or four
hours day only. Taken as whole, the
results this year are not bad, though slight
" above the average of others years. The
large drive of the Connecticut River Lum-
Der company has not yet begun passing
here.

Every one at the academy is greatly in
terested in the canvass of Col. Fuller for
governor. If all could vote, both boys and
girls, it is safe to say that Col. Fuller would
secure a unanimous vote. The generosity
of Col Fuller toward Vermont academy
makes him appreciated here. In many
ways entirely unknown outside and often
unknown to the individual recipients, help
has come to many worthy students that
has enabled them to continue in school
when otherwise they could not have re-
manned. 1t is not generally known that
the colonel every year gives the value OF
four or five scholarships in aid of needy
students. This sort OF investment the col
oncl delights in, and says it brings excel
lent and satisfactory dividends.

Efficiency, nignlty mud Honor.

From the Essex County Herald
For the principal Office Of the state yari-
Gus names have been suggested. canvasScd,
discussed and compared with others. In
the public mind four men have secured
very general approval. On inquiry we be-
licvc that a great majority of the people Of
this state have come to the conclusion that
in view of his abilities, his present rcla-
tions to the people of the state, his moral
character, the election of Cob Levi X. Full
Ter for governor will bring to the admins
tration of the state government more ettic-
iency, dignity and honor than would the
election of any other man at the present
time. The better sentiment of the state
has unmstakably settled upon him for
that position, and those who are nearest to
and most intimate with him give most pos
tive evidence of his high character and
fitness for the office.
