MINING NOTES.
A Good Prospect.

The Smuggler lode lies north of the
Monarch in London gulch. 1t belongs to
Frank Lindquist, Charles Black and Vic
tor Westberg, who are now working up
on it. The boys have sunk 25 feet upon
the vein, and found rich ore in their
shaft, but being unable to cope with the
water, they went down the hin, and
started a hard rock tunnel toward the
shaft, aiming to cut the vein about rs
feet below the surface. The vein is we'll
defined in a perfect country, and they
are sure to find good ore upon the COM
pletion of their crosscut. The men above
named are miners of experience and in
dustry, and we gladly note the opportu-
nifty thus opened to them.

night for Chicago, via the North western

mammoth engine, patterned after the ia

is brand new, and represents the latest
and best ideas for absolute comfort and
luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really a clubroom on wheels, there is a
magnificent private compartment Sleep
ing car, just the thing for ladies, famil-
les or those desiring privacy, luxuriously
appointed standard sleeping cars and the
most comfortable and well-equipped day
coaches aver offered the travelling public.
This "New Limited" train is admitted
by the press as well as by thousands of
people of Minnesota and states west who
have inspected it, and also by many
others of this western country who have
recently rode on it, as being without any
question the finest train in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-
dations.
Tickets via this popular line may be
secured from agents of the Northern Pa
cific railway, who will also make Sleep

THREE NIGHTS ONLY.
The Public Schools Close with a Ser
les of Entertainments Rarely Seen
at Neihart.
Youngsters Will Make Their Debut
with Great Eclat.

A series of entertainments will be fur
nished by the public schools of Neihart,
commencing next Monday night and
continuing three nights in Crawford's
hall. These entertainments will exceed
all former attempts in this line, giving a
complete exhibition of the various de-
partments and their respective attain
ments.
Monday evening the people of town
will witness an exhibition by The high
school which will be extraordinary in
the character of program and the beau
'ty of its rendition. They will hear a
number of choruses by the high school
girls, whose reputation as vocalists is
already established. The school will give
a wand drill, which is itself worth the
admission fee. Living statues will be
presented. A farce is on the boards en-
titled, "The New Woman" and the old
woman is especially requested to take it
in. sThe Famine" from Hiawatha will
be presented in pantomime and Jean In
gelow's beautiful allegory, "The Songs
of Seven will be given. 1t is a. high
class entertainment throughout and no.
body should miss it.
The admission fee of so cents to the
high school entertainment is to raise
funds for the repletion of the school Ii
brary. Let everybody go.
Tuesday evening will occur the enter
tainment of the intermediate and pri-
mary rooms, presided over by Misses
Sutton and Simpson. No fee will be
charged for this event, but there is no
doubt the occasion will be one of great
edification and enjoyment.
Wednesday evening will follow the
graduating exercises of the first class
ever graduated from the Neihart schools,
Henry Powers is the only member com
pleting the course. He has shown good
courage, ~commendable perseverance and
excellent power of advancement.

On last Saturday evening the shotgun

store of Lowry Il Shaw, and organized

bers signed the roll, each paying the fee
of S1.50 for admission. 1t is probable
that this number will be doubled; for
none but members can compete for priz-
es in their frequent contests to be held
this summer. They decided to hold
meetings regularly on the first and third
Friday evenings of each month, and to
hold the first contest shoot on the COM
ing 18th.

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Nearly Killed in an Explosion at
the Black Diamond Mine.
WILL LOSE BOTH HIS EYES.
He Is Taken to Great Falls for Surg
ical Treatment,

He Is Taken to Great Falls for Surg
zeal Treatment.
Andrew Carlson, a native OF Finland,
was injurged in the Black Diamond
mine, Wednesday forenoon, the result of
which will be total blindness and per-
haps death. He was working in the up
per part of the mine, high on the noun
tain side, when a premature blast
caught him full in the face.
The story of the awful accident is as
follows; He had prepared a round of
four holes, and procured his fuses and
powder to make the blasts. One of the
fuses was cut shorter than the rest, and
it is customary in such cases to light
the long ones first in order to give plen-
ty of time to reach a place of safety be-
fore the explosion follows. Carlson,
thinking no danger would come lit the
short fuse first and by some delay of
touching the others he caught the force
of the first blast in his face while stand
ing near. He fell in the tunnel and lay
in a helpless condition while the other
shots followed, after which a comrade
came, found him in this pitiable plight
and removed him to the surface.
Help was called and he was carried to
the bunk house and medical aid was
summoned. Drs Sandow and Williams
drove in haste to the mine, where they
found the patient in great agony, offer
ing a most frightful sight. His face
was one mass of burned and bruised
flesh and blood, shot full of small piec-
es of stone. His eyes were badly torn
and look as if they annot possibly be
saved. His breast had apparently
caught the force of one of the explos-
ions, for it was mangled and bleeding
with a thousand decorations by the fly
ing stones. In this condition they
found him lying on a stretcher.
Chloroform was administered, his
wounds were cleaned and the rocks
picked out of the flesh. Several scalp
wounds were found which required
needle and thread. He was then
brought to Belt Mountain hospital,
where the dressing was completed.
Here he remained over night, under the
influence of opiates and on Thursdays
train he was taken to the Falls.
Carlson is 26 years old. Both parents
are living in Finland in good circum-
stances and the saddest story is that
they have long been trying to induce
him to come home. But being of an
ambitious nature, Andrew wanted most
to carve out a fortune for himself. He
was a machinist, and has worked power
drills in several mines. The physicians
say there is a bare chance, if he lives at
all, to save his right eye, but that most
probably he will be totally blind.
