MINES.
The Working Force Doubled and the
Output Vastly Increased.

The Broadwater mine is increasing its
force on both day and night shifts, and
within the next ten days will have a force
of 80 to 100 men. They have already
started the night shift with an increase
of 30 or 80 over the former force, and as
fast as room can be made in the slopes
the force will be augmented. The inten-
ton of the company by this 10Y is to
ship more ore than ever before, and the
output of the Broadwater will be raised
to 1000 OF 1900 tons per month, which
figure will be maintained.
This is good news to the town. For
the past four years this mine has worked
without cessation, and until midwinter,
last, ran a day and night shift. Since
the arrival of j. Fl. Henley as superin-
tendent, the company has done consider
able work of exploitation; Sunday was
dropped from the list of working days,
and the night shift was dropped. The
works will continue to close on SUNDAYS
but will run day and night for six days
a week. Chas. Butler and j. A. Richey
are shift bosses.
The question of securing miners to eff
feet the above increase was not a serious
one, as there are enough idle miners in
camp to take the places. And it has
been shown that the B%roadwater mine
prefers home employees to outsiders, all
points of merit being equal. There have
been found enough men about town to
meet every requirement.
PERMANENCY OF THE CAMP.
In this mine are presented excellent
proofs of the pelmanency of this camp
as an ore producer. The mine has been
opened to a depth of LOO feet below
the surface, where the vein continued in
tact, as strong as at the surface. The ore
chute is opened and visible for a horizon
tai distance of 1900 feet, nearly half a
mile, and its continuance further can be
proved by driving the lower level far
Their into the hill. The question as to
Neihart being a camp for deep and per-
manent mining is past conjecture.

Neihart Free Coinage Band.

There being no longer doubt that the
town of Neihart will forge rapidly ahead,
and that prosperity will soon be travel
ing our streets in a red wagon, the needs
of the community must be properly sup
piled. Everybody knows the utter use
l~essness of trying to run a good town
without a brass band, and recognizing
this potent truth, a few of the young adj
herents of the town met early this week
in the store of Shannon & Johnson, and
effected the organization of what they
chose to call the Neihart Free Coinage
band. They elected the following ofic-
ers: A. W. Noyes, president; David
Sweeney, vice president; A. r. johnson,
secretary and treasurer; E. X. Abbott,
conductor; E. A. Shaw and Chas. Craw-
ford, trustees; Jack Walker III, I. III.
Lunsford and B. 0. Kempfer, finance
committee.
AS the town has already a set of instru.
ments, the preparation for this organi-
cation, barring the purchase of a few
repairs and supplies, was not difficult
and practices will begin next week. By
the kindness of VIM. Bonner, his hall has
been thrown open to the band for theil
meeting place. The details of instru'
mentation may be announced next week

To the Gold Fields of Alaska.

The Northern Pacific Railway compa-
ny has arranged to sell through tickets
to the Yukon mining district, Alaska,
via Seattle and the steamers of the North
American Trading & Transportation
company. Steamers sail from Seattle on
Thursday, June 10, 1897, and Tuesday,
August 10, 1897, and proceed directly to
Fort Get There, on St. Michael's island,
near the mouth of the Yukon river,
touching only at Dutch Harbor, Unalas-
ka island, (Aleutian chain) en- route; at
Fort Get There change is made to the
Company's river steamers, which pass up
the Yukon river to Circle city, Fort Cud-
ahy and Forty Mile, thus affording an
easy and pleasant trip. Prospectors and
miners are advised to take the boat sail
ing from Seattle on June 10, so as to ar,
rive at the mines in time for a good sea-
sons work.

Some English Cigars.

81 am informed, says a CORE
spondent, THAT a large trade in the
manufacture of English cigars is
carried on, principally in the east
end of London. All the ends of CT
gars and cigarettes, dottels, chew
ed guilds, etc, III bought at SO
much per pound from public houses,
music halls and other places be-
sides those picked up in the street.
These savory morsels are put into a
large bath, where a kind of tobacco
broth is made.
I'm the early autumn, when the
chestnut leaves are beginning to
turn a golden color, parties are or,
ganized, who go wherever they can
get a supply of these leaves, which
are then put on long wires and i'm
mersed in this filth for either a long
or short time, according to the re-
quirements of a strong or mild CT
gar. These leaves are then rolled
into cigars"
The above correspondents state
ment TALES with an incident which
occurred some years ago when a GER
tain person was charged with lille
gally manufacturing cigars. His de-
Tense was that the cigars that he
manufactured did not contain a par.
ticle of tobacco. And, what is more,
he proved his case. His cigars were
made of brown paper, embossed to
look like leaves and stepped in to-
bacco uice.-Pearson's Weekly.

BALL PLAYING IN MUD.
Lots Of Excursion Trains and Rcd
Hot Patriotism.

The third day of July 1897 will long
be remembered by the people of Mel
hart, Sand Coulee and Belt. On that
day the citizens of this section of Mon
tana awoke upon a misty, foggy, rainy
world, and undertook to celebrate a day
which saw no cessation of rain from
early dawn till 4 p. NJ. The air was
cold and the mountain tops about the
town were capped with new fallen snow.
Notwithstanding the incessant rain
the fireworks committee or the "dyna-
miters' brigade" woke the town at 5 a.
m. with 1870 guns to proclaim to the
world, from Arthur's mill to Jericho
and from Upper Crust alley to True
Lovers canyon, that the republic has
seen another birthday.
The fire department don'd its uniform
and tried to celebrate, but there was no
ardor. and nothing had been done at II
a. m. when the first train of visitors ar
rived from Sand Coulee. There were
about $50 aboard who were met by the
reception committee with family um-
brellas and escosted to Crawford's hall.
1t was pitiful to see how hard some of
the boys in lobster suits tried to make a
mash on the visiting ladies. Those fire
boys are noted for trying to look their
best when on dress parade and last Sat
urday they were not behind their usual
ability.
There being nothing else to do the
crowd soon repaired to dinner. At one
p. m. the dancing begun to while the
gloomy hours away. After three hours
of social amusement and musical enter
tainment the rain Stacked long enough
to let the gun clubs begin their contest.
The contest was for a purse of $25 be-
tween individual members of both Sand
Coulee and Neihart clubs. Every fellow
for himself. Most of the shooting was
done in the rain. Mclean of Neihart
won first money by breaking 10 saucers
out of 20. Next to him came Pearson
of the Coulee with II birds to his cred
it. Burchard and Parry Of Neihart cut
up third money with 16 birds apiece.
Joe Murray of Sand Coulee astonished
his friends by producing a score of A
killed and 81 lost.
The ball game Neihart VS. Sand Cou-
lee was called at 4:30 and the crowd
gathered to see what, proved to be the
best game ever witnessed at this place.
1t was played but five innings, and the
score stood IA to IL in favor of Neihart
The ground was a sea of mud, and the
players had to founder about without a
half chance to do their best. But some
of the plays were excellent, calling forth
cheers from the large crowd of specta-
tors. The Sand Coulee team deporteC
themselves we'll, and put up a GOOD
game. Three times they changed UNI.
pires, and the Neihart boys claim thai
the second man at that job gave the
Coulee 'the best of it."
AT s o'clock the special train ran back
the major portion of the passengers
vowing they will try the journey agar
when weather is more favorable.
At night the dance in Crawford's hal
was we'll attended.

Postal SAVINGS bank.

A postal bank bill is being
framed in Chicago to be intro
duced at the next Congress. Ac-
cording to the Record the bill pro-
vides for the establishment of a
postal savings bank system with
a central bank at Washington and
such postoffices as shall be desig-
mated for that purpose as branch
banks for the collection and re-
payment of deposits. Interest TO
be paid depositors at the rate of 2
per cent. per anrum, beginning on
the first day of the calendar month
following the date of deposit and
ceasing on the last day of the cal
endar month preceding the date
OF withdrawal. Deposits by any
person are to be limited to $500 in
any one year, and to 81 900 all told.
The funds accumulated are to be
invested in government bonds, and
when those shall cease to be avail
able, in the bonds of states, eoun-
ties and municipalities under speci-
fed restrictions. After it is once
fairly in operation it is expected
the system will be self-sustaining
and will involve no additional ex-
pense on the government for its
maintenance. The bill no doubt
contains many Objectionable fea-
lures and many will oppose it, that
IS to be expected. The sentiment
is unanimous that a man should
be given an opportunity to save
ard have his savings protected by
the government.

THE STATE BUYS COAL
While That Mined at Leavenworth is
Being Sold to the Trade.

The state house and the asylum are
now suffering from the effects of a
coal famine induced by the policy of
the present administration pertaining
to sale of coal at the state penitentiary-
The sale of coal from the penitentiary
to the trade is responsible for the trOu-
BILE. A A Newman. member of the
board of directors has been travelling
over the state selling the coal under
section of the law which provides:
''AlI coal mined in the Kansas state
penitentiary coal mine under the direc-
ton of the board of directors of said
institution, except coal in such amounts
as shall be required for the use of the
state institutions, shall be sold under
the direction of said board
To make the earnings of the institu-
ton show up well the directors have
been pushing the coal on the market at
a rate which exceeded the output of the
mines and now they find themselves alb
soIutelv unable to supply the trade
which has bought and paid for coal, but
supplying the state institutions is be-
ing neglected for the purpose Of acced-
ing as for as possible to the demands
of the trade.
How long the famine will exist is a
question which the state officers have
grown exceedingly indignant trying TO
answer.
The state house has been compelled
to go on the market in Topeka for
coal, paying from SO to $3.50 per ton
for the coal which usually costs moth
ing, except the mining ana IreiSnl
This is a condition brought about by
the alI-wfse Popu1ist legislature last
winter" said one of the Populist state
officers today.
1.-The trouble with the ordinary Pop
ulist he continued, lis that he thinks
he knows everything and gives no one
else credit for knowing anything. There
was an effort made last winter to get
some decent legislation on the coal
question at the penitentiary but the
existing law was pushed through in
hurry and the result is that every min
err in the state has a knife up his sleeve
for the present administration and the
state officers are freezing just for the
sake of the - - party.
