Preliminary work was kept steadily

CONSTRUCTION WORK.
How u Was Done. the Total Cost and
the Material Z -ed.

The initial work to be done was the
supplying of water to be used in the
erection Of the Reform school building.
and also for future supply for all do
mestic purposes. As has been noted
above O. G. Beck had been awarded the
contract TO do this, and in July he moved
his boring outfit up to the grounds.
With commendable energy he hurried
the work along, aud one warm summer
day the news came to town That flow
had been struck in the well, giving an
abundance of that crystal fluid which
nature has so generously provided for
those who see fit to seek it in the bowels
Of the earth. 1t was learned that at a
depth Of 5ii feet a vein of water had been
struck which filed the fouri inch pipe
and caused steady and continuous
flow which is now agreed by all to be
ample and sufficient to meet all demands
upon II.

WORK COMMENCED.


As soon as possible after the signing
of their contract Messrs. Larsen x
Smith let their sub-contracts for the ex-
cavating, the foundation stone and the
brick, and on October 9th, John Leon
ard. who had been the successful bidder
for the excavating, broke ground. The
work was most expeditiously done, and
it was but short time until he had
completed his job by removing 1000
cubic yards Of dirt, disclosing hole in
the ground 5OxlOO feet in size and al
most II feet in depth.
BY the time this had been done, o. F
Rogers. the contractor for the foundation
rock. had large supply on hand, and a
gang Of masons, with their hammers.
chisels and trowels, eagerly and quickly
put up handsome and most ,substan-
tial wall two feet in thickness, thus paw
ing the way for the brick masons, who
were kept well supplied with first class
brick. by L. G. Currier. who hauled them
from the yards Of Samuel Stone and
William Mcmahon.
Carpenters were added to the force,
which was soon increased to 25 men. and
the walls rapidly loomed up against the
horizon. People began to point with
pride to Montana's first state building.
and all were assured by the close atten-
ton Of the architect and the board Of
trustees that the work. while being
pushed right ahead. was also being done
in first-class manner.
By the time the cold weather began
in solid earnest, the handsome structure
had reached the limit Of its elevation,
about 81 feet from the basement floor,
the tin-shingle roof was on, the doors
and windows were sllin, and the build
ing was enclosed. The heating furnaces,
which, with their flues and ventilators,
were kept up with the other work, by
the time the plasterers commenced their
allotted task. maintained an even tenn.
perature. and there was no danger Of the
plaster freesing.
Before ninety days had rolled around
from the date of commencing work the
imposing three story and basement
building was virtually completed and
ready to be turned over to the state, but
this was not done for some days, pend.
ing few finishing touches.
