he met with his accident Saturday last.
This ore is rich in silver and lead and
the indications are that there is a large
body of it near at hand.

representing on Il fine prospect about
five miles east of town, had a narrow

of earth and rock came down, a portion

1t was reported in Townsend Friday
morning last that the Diamond forty
stamp mill and mine had been sold to a
New York party for 81 100000. Mr..
Miller, the manager and principal own
er of this property carried about as light
a purse a year ago as most people, but
the sale makes him Independent and we
are glad to record his success.
A marriage license has been issued to
J. r.. Stout and Miss Minnie Willett of
Townsend, who are to be joined in holy
wedlock at an early date. Miss Willett
is a very charming young lady and is
one of the sweetest singers our county
has ever produced, is a graduate of the
Boston Conservatory Of music and is
possessed of many other accomplish
ments. Mr.. Stout is one of the proprie-
tors of the Townsend Messenger and is a
young man Of good habits and gives
promise for the future. We extend con-
CALCULATIONS in advance and trust the

The Montana railroad company is get
ting things in readiness for active con

week John Lehman, the manager of the
construction company which has the
contract to build the road, will have To-
Gated headquarters at Toston, aud num-
erous outfits will be moving on to the
line of the road. Mr.. Lehman ropOse
to ~sub-contract the work and work as
many men as possible, the aim being to
grade the road from the mouth of Six
teen mile creek to Castle within the next
four months, and have trains running in
November. VIM. Quinn, who is about
to furnish ties and bridge timbers, is
taking a look at the country and will
probably move a force of fifty men and
a half dozen teams out this week. Ar
engagements are being perfected here for
the supplying of 1000 mutton sheep
and 100 beef cattle from Smith river
valley for the men employed. Mr.. Leh-
man and his company are responsible
and there is no doubt that construction
work will be pushed vigorously. The
surveyors it is understood, already have
stakes set for the graders to begin. MI.
r.. A. Harlows, the representative of the
Montana railroad company, is in st.
Paul at this writing for the purpose of
arranging with the managers of the
western union Telegraph Co., to follow
the new railroad with it's line of wire.
Arrangements have not as yet been per-
fected that will insure the extension of
the road to White Sulphur Springs but
we hope this will be done at an early
date.
