fairly dazzled the eyes. surely we did
see what had become of the most of

And then Charley Morse Kris

TWIN BRIDGES.

TWIN BRIDGES. Dec. 81 Special
Correspondence. Xmas is now over,
but it was a joyful day to the little
folk at the Home. 1t was their first
here, and all seemed to enjoy it amaz-
ingly.
A representative Santa Claus appear

Sp.m.. as all were seated listning to
Christmas stories, read by Miss Utley,

ing admission The window was raised
when his huge sack of toys and pres
ents for all the children was brought,
amid the inexpressible delight of all;
the friends from near and far,
had freely contributed for the children
till an ample supply of different things
was in readiness for the children.
Among those worthy of mention are
G.. F. White, the Sunday school OF
Twin Bridges, and the ladies of Page
Vile, the latter in chickens for al
Xmas dinner, and some girl friends Of
| Lewistown, Fergus county, all remem-
bering the children in gifts of various
kinds to the delight of all. Among the
| gifts to the children was box of fine
candies, some time since, by their
friend, Harry Warrington, enjoyed
very much by them; and so it proves
in many things not 80 sad after all, to
become an inmate of this, THE Child

might esteem it no great misfortune to
find a place here. A thousand times
better provide for these in Il pleasant

and moral influences. schools and the
advantages of of intellectual develop

almshouses, reform schools and prison

tiOn work will be pushed with all pos
sible speed and we expect to have the
new smelter in operation inside of a
year. The buildings will be of iron,
and the machinery will all be
neat and of the latest styles. We have
some machinery here that is practical
ly new but it is not definitely known
whether we will use it in the new smell
ter or not.
The new smelter will be much larger
than our present plant and will have
capacity of about l 900 tons of ore per
day. We will put in several lead fur
naces and will be prepared to handle
gold, silver, copper and lead ores, We
will continue to handle custom ores as
at present. The entire plant will be
operated by water power which will ef-
feet large saving. The water power
at Gaylord is practically inexhaustible,
and after we take all the water we
water we want there will be enough
90 to waste to run all of the mines and
smelters in Butte.
The new plant will employ about 800
men when it is in full operation. We
will, of course, continue to operate the
old smelter until the new one is fin
ished.
In order to furnish an adequate sup
plv Of ore for the new smelter two or
three new mines will be opened and the
output of the Parrot company will be
largely increased.
Mr.. Grant did not feel at liberty to
disclose the names of the new proper
ties acquired by the Parrot company
tonight, but the positive information
of the loss of the smelter will be fully
compensated for by the knowledge Of
the opening of the new mines by the
Parrot company. The Summit Valley
railroad, which is now used to convey
the ore from the Parrot mine to the
smelter, will be abandoned with the
completion of the new smelter, and the
ore will be handled from the mines di
rect by full-sized railroad. 1t is also
probable that the B., A, & p. will rul
switches to the mines and transfer the
ore to the Northern Pacific at the
transfer near the foot of the hill.
The Northern Pacific will run
branch from Whitehall to the nev
town and will commence grading earl!
in the spring, 1t is also probable tina
the Union Pacific will build brancf
into Gaylord so as to get share OF th'
business. Some years ago the grading
was done on a projected branch lin'
from Dillon to Silver Star, which Is on
ly about Il miles from Gaylord, ant
this would make the construction of
new line comparatively easy matter
