II IS ALL SETTLED
CONTRACT FOR THE ROYAL ROAD
SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED.

Surveyors Are Now i'll the Field and Dirt
Force of One Hundred Men to be Em-
ployed-Great Thing for Deer LODGE
A contract calling for the construction
Of wagon road from this city to the
county line, within one mile of the Royal
mine, was formally awarded Dr. A. H.
Mitchell by the county commissioners
last Friday afternoon, verbal contract
having been entered into prior to the last
issue Of TIE New NORTHWEST. The
contract calls for the construction of a
road on the most feasible route between
Deer Lodge and the Royal mill, the road
bed to be ten feet in width and not to ex-
ceed in grade ten per cent. except where
such grade is wholly impracticable. For
the completed road the county agrees to
pay $4,000. c
Surveyors have been in the field dur
ing the past week looking out the route
in detail. Not to exceed a ten per cent.
grade will be encountered between town
and the foot of Rock Creek lake, from
which point the really difficult portion
of the work begins. The survey will be
completed within few days, points for
excavation and filling will be determined,
the route will be tagged from end to
end and by this time next week, if no
unforeseen difficulty stands in the way,
men will be engaged in the actual work
of construction. DR.. Mitchell will en-
ploy a force of not less than 100 men and
complement Of teams, and will push
the work to completion within sixty days.
The guaranteed construction of this
road is the best stroke Of business ever
achieved for Deer Lodge, and those of
our citizens who have any appreciation
of the situation, who are interested in
securing to the town elements that will
contribute to its commercial Importance,
are greatly elated. The Royal and Gold
Creek districts to degree have passed
the stage Of experiment.; numerous prop
critics have been developed to the point
OF demonstrated value, quartz mills are
running and others are going in, pros
poets are changing hands at figures alto
gether remunerative to the discoverers,
and all the elements are present for the
upbuilding Of at least two rich, perma-
nent and prosperous mining camps. They
are in the very heart of the gold belt,
and to their north and south and west
lies country Of vast extent and equally
vast possibilities. From this trunk line
will radiate roads in all directions, to
meet the requirements and constructed
at the expense Of private enterprises. A
great mineral territory is about to be
opened up, for which Deer Lodge will
be the distributing point and the source
Of supply. The science Of no astrologer
is required to foretell the result

AGAIN A PRODUCER

THE ROYAL MILL TURNING OUT ITS
QUOTA OF THE YELLOW STUFF.
Regular Monthly Dfvid. nds to be Re
sumcd the First of October-The Ship
ment of Accumulated Concentrates
Progress of Development, Etc.
Willard Bennett, manager Of the Royal,
came in from the mine this week. He
reports progress and continued show
ing Of good results at the little bonanza,
and promises resumption of regular
dividends beginning the first week Of
next month. The accumulated concen-
trates now being shipped to the Helena
smelter net about $50 per ton and the
mill is running to it's full capacity on
about the grade of ore that yielded such
gratifying results during the past year.
For the year ended August IS, less two
months shutdown Of the mill occasioned
by a heavy flow OF water in the Slopes,
the Royal has record Of production of
S195,0 at a total expenditure Of $75,000,
leaving $4,000 net. During this period
the property has been pretty thoroughly
exploited through four tunnels, and ore
reserves have been opened up that guar
antee for the Royal a long and pros
porous career. .
So far, the principal production Of the
mine has been through tunnel No. 3, on
the main lead, which developed pay
chute 900 feet in length and from which
ore was extracted from eighteen Slopes.
At a distance Of 1900 feet from the mouth
of this tunnel the ore terminated, and
tions in part were directed to following a
tale seam from this point in the hope Of
opening up another chute. After seventy
five feet Of work through barren ground,
and at a vertical depth Of about 600 feet,
the vein again opened into strong body
OF ore that gives assay returns Of $63.2O
free gold per ton. This, Mr.. Bennett re
CARDS, the most important strike yet made
in the mine.
Tunnels No. and 2 are on lead run
ming parallel with the main vein. They
have developed strong bodies of ore, but
OF low grade. Work is now being vigor-
ously prosecuted in them as we'll as in
Nos. 3 and 4, and the ore from all is
milled indiscriminately as it comes from
the mine. The property now has a total
tllnnelaye of 1895 feet and showing Of
ore therein seldom equaled for the
amount Of development. The Royal
certainly ranks foremost among the free
milling propositions SO far developed in
Montana. Mr.. Bennett lays no claim to
being a practical mining man, but the
results surely warrant the pardonable
pride he feels in his management Of the
property.
A commodious and comfortable bunk
house of sufficient capacity to accommo-
date fifty men, an assay office and a sup
ply depot are now being added to the
surface equipment Of the property and
everything is being put in shape for its
permanent and uninterrupted operation.
Its further outside Improvements consist
of a complete ten stamp mill with van
ners, boarding house, three bunk
houses, three blacksmith shops and
eleven dwellings About fifty five men
are regularly employed.

are now engaged in shipping to the East

concentrates assaying 800 gold and $40
silver per ton. This is the saving the

nine months run.

SUPI. PATzOWSKI DISMISSED.

Tho Case Thrown Out OF tho Municipal
Court Because OF City Solicitor Elliott's
Failure TO Connect Him with tho Case.
The police department tried to convict
Richard Patzowski manager of f,
Blumenthal & Co.'S morocco shops, for
obstructing the pavement in front Of
the shops on Monroe street, below Ian
caster avenue
City Solicitor Elliott was not disposed
to prosecute, while Willard salisbury,
Jr., worked energetically for his client,
Mr.. Patzowski.
Chief Dolan stated that many com
plants had been received about the
wagons standing across the pavement at
that point and causing the pedestrians
to walk into the street. Officer Sar
koski watched cart that was being
loaded forty minutes on one occasion.
John Il. Kenny testified that the carts
blockaded the pavements so often that a
path had been made in the street by
pedestrians who had to walk around the
horses. Officer Taylor saw skins lying
on the pavement and wagons that IL
required more time to load than was
necessary.
The court dismissed the charge on the
ground that Mr.. Elliott had not proved
that Mr. Patzowski was manager of the
Blumenthal & Co and of his failure tC
connect him with the case.
