TRAIN SERVICE
The storms Have Played "a Part Most Dis
ngIeeabIe Local Trafic


Missoula, March 3.-Trains on the
Northern Pacific have been running on
a catch-as-catch-can schedule since
the cold wave struck the line and ali
nave been from one to three hours be-
hind. This is the first extended sea-
son OF late trains that has occurred
since the hot-box epidemic early in the
winter, when every train for a time
spent few hours every day in cooling
heated bearings. 1t is not believed that
the present delay will be at all seri-
Gus as II is caused largely by the storm
and will probably cease when the wind
stops blowing.
As rule the train service on the
road has been excellent this winter and
travellers from both directions speak
wei or II. There was quite a sizeable
kick for a time, when the Montana
Union would not wait for the Northern
Pacific train IL IL was late, but since
that has been remedied, there is a gem
eral good feeling prevalent among the
travellers who stop at Missoula.
The discussion of a local passenger
train from Missoula to Billings has re-
Vived subject which has been dis
cussed regularly at this end of the line
for several years, in fact ever since
the old Helena local was taken off
That such train would be a great ac-
commodation TO many travellers, there
Is no doubt and Missoula people have
agitated the matter frequently. 1t is
argued by the railroad people. how
ever that such a train would not be
profitable. They say that all the bust
ness that IL would handle would be
taken from the overland train and
would not mean any profit for the COM
pany-in other words. the proposed To-
cal train would not make any new
business. II may be that. now the
question has been taken up by the peo-
pie across the range, some better re-
suits may be accomplished.

Missoula. March 3.-But little bust
ness was transacted i'm the district
court to-day. Some probate cases were
considered and this afternoon Mrs
Lima Herren was granted a divorce
from Oliver c. Herren on grounds of
cruelty and was given the custody of
her minor children.
The Northern Pacific line this even
ing is utterly demoralized. The cold
weather and the trouble on the Roze-
man line delayed both trains TODAY
and neither reached here until after :

train was seven hours late.

Missoula, March 3.-Major Carter
spent yesterday in the city on business
In speaking of the shooting of the old
indian woman at Kalispell a week ago,
Major Carter said that, as far as can
be learned, number of men have been
in the habit of shooting at Indians from
behind a door in which there was a
loophole. The bullets fired were of %
caliber, but still not pleasant to receive.
The old woman who was shot was an
inonensive creature, and when she was
wounded she was attending to her own
business. Missoula is bad enough, but
even here practical joking never reach

THE GOLD PRODUCT.
LII Is Likely to BE Larger Than Ever for
the Next FIFTY Years.
From the Popular Science.

From the Popular Science.
IL Is now evident that the production
or gold for the next 80 years will he
altogether unprecedented This pro-
auction has been vigorously stimulated
by fresh discoveries of mines. bv new
ana cheap mining processes, and by the
fall of silver, leading miners to nav
greater attention to the other metal.
The operation of the latter factor is
best seen in Colorado, where the pro-
auction of gold rose from 81, 300 900 in
1872 to 1882, 900 in 1S93 and to about
Sl2.OOO,OO0 in 1894. The production for
1895 in Colorado is confidently expected
10 reach S2O.OOOOOO. The director of the
mint is of the opinion that the produce
ton of the United States rose from
sS3,Ol4,9S1 in 1892 to about S39, 500 900 in
1884, while other good authorities nut
the production for 1894 at $50 600 0O0
The annual product of other great pro
ducing countries shows a large increase
or late years. In his notable article in
the North American Review, Mr.. Pres
ton states that the worlds production
or gold for 1888 was 1.-The largest in his
tory, amounting in round numbers TO
Sl55,522,OOO. The product for 1894 how
ever, very largely exceeded-probabIy
by 20 per cent.-the product of 1894.
There is scarcely any assignable limit
TO the gold known to exist in the world
or even in the United States. 1t is
said that simply by the removal of the
restrictions on hydraulic mining Cali
fornia can produce half a billion of
gold. The quantity easily obtainable
in Colorado is stupendous. Other parts
of the United States are also rich.
while Australia and Russia probably
possess stock equal to our own. and
are increasing the annual output every
year.
But the most surprising and, so to
speak. revolutionary facts regarding |
gold that have recently come to light |
are those concerning the great Wit
mines of South Africa. |
There gold is found in enormous GUAM |
titles and in a cheaply workable form |

TRUE REPORTS.
Mr.. Abernethy Says the Curlew Is as
Good as Reported

Missoula, March 3.-Ike Abernethv
came down the valley yesterday from
Victor, where he has been the guests of
Sterney Blake for a week During his
visit, Ike spent his time at the Curlew
mine and he says that there has been
no eXaggeration in the reports that
have gone out regarding the richness
or the mine. There is an immense
amount of ore in sight, and every days
work reveals more. The mill is being
run on drift ore and the work in the
mine Is being done so as to develop. as
much as possible, the ore body, which
Is being blocked out in such a way that
there Is no longer any doubt as to the
genuineness of the claims which have
been made regarding the mine. o..
On the Whip-poor-Will, which adj
joins the Curlew, the new shaft win
reach the 200 level tomorrow. A sta

ing claim, a shaft has been sunk 60 feet
and will be carried 80 feet further, when
drifting will be started Both of these
shafts have encountered good ore. and
all the indications are considered good.
Sterney Blake, who has been i'll for
some days, is improving, Mr.. Aber-
nethy says and will be all right in a few
days. His son has been seriously i'll

There is a misunderstanding of the
matter somewhere. and II is hoped that
when Mr. Bogart meets with the COM
missioners the whole business will be
Strengthened out. AS a matter of fact,
the whole cause of the heavy indebted
ness or the county may be found in the
low assessment. The grand jury re-
port stated that there is large

and much of ii is undervalued. The
running expenses of the county were
raised $1,000 last year and half of this
reduction has been in salaries. This is

that last season there was considerable
road and bridge work done.
