Especial Correspondence
LEwIsTowN, Mon, Oct. l2.-Of the
natural bridges on the American CONT
nent, there is none more remarkable
than that situated i'll Montana about 70
miles north from the National park. on
the east side of the Snowy range of tho
Rocky mountains
This bridge is crossed by the wagon
road from Big Timber on tho Northern
Pacific road to the new mining camp of
Boulder. 1t consists of ledge of rock
about 80 feet in height extending across
q canyon 800 feet in width. The width
of the bridge at its narrowest point is
200 feet. y channel through this man.
moth ledge allows the waters of the
Boulder river to pass and gives q per-
pendicular fall of S5 feet to the bottom
of the canyon. The stream bursts from
out the side of Rocky pass with a ire
mendous roar, which can be heard for q
distance Of half mile.
1t is estimated that 100000 miners
inches of water pass through the natural
viaduct every minute. In June and July,
when the melting Of the snow in the
mountains increases the volume of water
in the Boulder, the immense outlet
through the rock fails to let the water
pass, and an overflow Is the result, some
times making travel over the bridge
hazardous.
There has been formed company for
the purpose of utilizing this great fall of
water for generating electricity for the
operating of an electric road between
Big Timber and the Boulder camp, q
distance of 40 miles, and for furnishing
light to Big Timber and the various
mines in the Boulder district.

THE GRAND JURY'S WORK

Said to BE Drawing to Close and Indict-
ments May BE Made Soon.
1t was thought by number of parties
who haze been giving the matter close
attention that the grand jury in session,
which has been engaged in investigating
the riot of September 90. had concluded
it's labors and would report yesterday
afternoon, but when the jury filed into
the court room yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock as usual there were no indict-
ments made However it is generally
understood that the investigation is
nearly com pletcd and the jury will soon
disband. All tho Witnesses probably
have testified and the only remaining
work before the jury as far as the riot
is concerned will bo to discuss the evil
dence and make out the formal indict-
ments. This may take as long as two
days. Other matters not connected
with tho riot may claim the attention of
the jury for one day.
1t can be asserted with considerable
degree OF certainty that the parties who
lymched the negro are known and have
been indicted, and that ind ic tments will
also be returned against the leaders in
the attack on the jail.
1t is understood that number of the
participants in the burning of Smiths
corpse September 81 will also be mem
tionel in the indictments. From the
best evidence that can be obtained IL Is
not thought that the number OF indict-
ments will be so large as has been stated,
