George Q. Richardson, plasterer, who
was convicted of cruelty to his children

The principal was not to be disturbed,

not think such bequest is valid, and yes

his case may be better understood.
Mansfield is man about 10 years Of age
and as far as Known has DO relations out

The Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific Railroad.
BETWEEN HERE AND ANACONDA
A Large Force Of Graders Employed
and They Will Continue Until
COLO Weather, When the Rock
Work Will BE Pushed All
Winter in the County.

Contractors who have in hand the con
struction Of the Butte, Anaconda g. Pa
citic railroad between this city and Phil
lpsburg, says the Standard, are improv.
ing the opportunity for work afforded
them by the pleasant weather OF the past
week. Grading has been going on rap.
idly, the ground is in prime condition
for such work, and the temperature has
been we'll nigh perfection for out door
work.
| A few miles north of town Peter Nc
Weigh has construction crew Of from 60
to rs men. They have nicely situated
camp in grove north of the race track,
where they have been for some time, but
will soon have to pull up stakes and move
up the canyon to keep pace with the
progress of the grade.
Five miles out Swanson & Co. have a
crew Of from 30 to 40 graders, and Twohy
Bros. began to throw dirt near George
town the past week.
This work is to be pushed az long as
the weather will permit, and when the
ground freezes so that nothing more can
be done at grading there is other work
to be done
The crock work. as the contractors
call it, will be taken up, and with hammer
and drill, powder and dynamite, the road
for the iron horse will be made through
mountains during the winter months.
Cold weather will not stay the progress
OF constructing this railroad, for the cuts,
where rock is to be excavated, can bo
made with the thermometer at 20 degrees
below zero as rapidly as when it is 100 in
the shade.
In advance of these workers there are
four surveying parties, besides the party
which keeps them company on the work
which is called the "cross section gang"
This party is camped about six miles up
the creek and is under the direction of
Engineer James and Assistant Engineer
Hal Slemons.
These are the men engaged in actual
construction work but by no means are
they all who are busy in preparing for
the onward march of the B. A. & P.
There are IN the field as an advance
guard, two preliminary survey parties
which are running many lines and taking
many observations. When last heard
from they were at the summit of the
Rocky mountains, 80 miles from Drum
mond, and seeking the best route north
to Kalispel and south to Missoula.
There are about 20 men in each party
and they are well provided with mule
teams and pack animals for mountain
climbing. Engineer Wooley is in charge
of the party headed towards Missoula,
and Engineer Bailey is seeking way
into the F'lathead valley.
Engineer Jones has locating party
near Ph1lipsburg, and Engineer Peace
has another in the Burnt Fork pass find
ing the most accessible entrance to the
Bitter Root valley
Thus the work is progressing which is
rapidly completing the building of the
'oad which now has It's terminus in Ana
,onda, through to the Pacific coast, and
which is but one of the many factors in
Indicating brilliant future for Ana
,onda,
