SURVEYORS AT WORK.
Laying Out New Route From the ARM
ington Mines.


Great Falls, Jan. 27.-To- nights issue
of the Belt Valley Times contains the
following important announcements:
For the past three weeks party of
Great Northern surveyors has been
surveying in the neighborhood and their
presence has given rise to many rumors.
From an authentic source it is learned
that they are surveying for a new route
from the Arlington coal mines, which
are owned principally by the Great
Northern company. Besides the sur
veyors the company also has it's dia-
mond drills at work on their claims. and
we are reliably informed that it is the
intention to open up and operate the
mines. If the reports from the present
prospecting party are satisfactory, the
mine will be worked on an extensive
scale. Representatives of the company
have made a number of visits to the
neighborhood within the past few weeks
and they appear to be well satisfied with
the appearance of things generally and
the progress being made.
The object of the new route is to
avoid the heavy grade at Belt, and the
surveyors are trying to find route
from the mine along the bench from the
main line at Swift. The surveyors are
making number of surveys, both on
the bench and bottom, and should any
of them be accepted and the new road
built, ii is understood that the present
line, from Swift to Belt. will be used for
empties, while the loaded cars will be
pulled by the new route"

New York, Jan. 27-There were num-
Der of features of aggressive strength in
to-day's stock market, but there were
also evidences that the sustaining force
of these special stocks was taken adj
vantage to sell out heavy lines of other
stocks to realize profits. The center of in
terest in the market continued to be New
York Central. The persistent advance in
this stock Is attributed very generally
in the street to inside buying and the re-
ports of a pending plan for the merging of
Lake Shore and New York Central find
very general credence. All sorts of ru-
give in detail the plans for the first merg-
ing. and also for the consolidation of va
rious other Vanderbilt properties, but no
official authoritative statement has been
made. nor is one expected
The advance in New York Central was
twice arrested during the day by reac-
tons. The large absorption of stock
which developed before the decline had
reached great length suggested the
probability that the reaction was manip-
ulated in the interest of those seeking
to acquire the stock.
Lake Shore yielded IL per cent. of its
extreme advance of 215 per cent. before
the close. 1t is noticeable that the Van
derbil stocks for the most part closed be-
low last nights final price. Northern Pa
citic preferred, Kansas & Texas PREFER, d
and Rock Island were leaders of the mar
ket in conjunction with New York Cen
trail. E.
There were not lacking other features
of strength in the market and the New
York transit companies were conspicuous
for a sudden and sharp advance in the
final hour.
London had large account in the To-
cal market to-day and on the side of the
sales there was a balance of over $1,000
the London selling with a rather firmer
tone. There was no hardening tendency
perceptible in the local money market.
The close was irregular.

ume of business was large, the total

THEY MEAN BUSINESS
Much Work Gut Out for the
Business Mems Association.
A SECRETARY ELECTED
The Solid Men Of Great Falls on the
Membership Rolls-W. g. Conrad
Is President-To Hurry Up
the Burlington.

Great Falls, Jan. 27-The Business
Mems association has started out with
membership composed of the best
and most progressive men of the city.
1t evidently means business, and in
furtherance of its purpose it has elected
a new secretary, II. o. Chowen, and
set aside the sum of SIS per month for
his salary. The members say that the
work which he will be obliged to per-
form will take all or practically all of
his time and the Office will be no sine
cure. The president of the new organi-
cation is w. G. Conrad of Conrad
Bros, and with this gentleman at the
head of affairs there can be no doubt
entertained of the earnestness and the
diSintereStedneSS which has caused
these business men to band themselves
together for the purpoe of forwarding
the interests of the community. The
executive committee appointed by the
president is again in it's turn repre-
sentative of the organization. 1t is
composed of r. S. Ford, Paris Gibson,

officio thespresident A more represent
alive body could not have been selected
with weeks of elaboration.
The secretary already has on hand a
number of letters from East and West,
which will be answered at once, and
next Tuesday evening, when the assoc
citation will mold it's first regular meet
ing, there will be a general discussion of
the lines on which it is thought most
profitable for the association to work.
1t is taken for granted by the public
that measures for the hurrying of the
building of the Burlington to this city
will be among the things first dis
cussed. The subject, though old, ever
possesses a fascination for Great Falls.

in the day than at the opening, which
was nevertheless pretty strong. May

two hours a fight was waged around s5Ac
for control of the market. News that
came in during that time almost alto

Minneapolis reported a heavy demand
for -four especially foreign shipment,
and Tacoma advised continued ship
ments of flour and wheat to South Africa.
Export clearances of wheat and frur

the delivery had been heard of but sell

the pit, and their bid of 81 90 for January,

shorts in the futures in hurry, and the
price of May especially advanced almost
as fast as the cash figures did. For few
minutes the excitement was intense and
the hunt for cover which took place
jumped May to SIC, January in the mean
time being quoted at 81 .02i5. The market
queted down somewhat for a time but
about half an hour from the close the
buying fever again broke out, as the
jumping of January was renewed In a
very short space of time January was bid

BIaggGTati0l in Report Of the Ma
nOa Raid.
AN INVESTIGATION BY A CITIZEN
Perhaps Ten Dozen Pines Were
Taken-Fresh Cuts Could Not Be
ShOWn-Ciains.

There j. good reason for believing
that the statements made by the Chi
uese regarding the value OF fruit des-
troyed by the soldiers in Manoa valley
has been grossly exaggerated.
Some fruit mas undoubtedly been
stolen. But several experts have quiet
Iy looked into the matter and are sat
isfied that the damage Is entirely
OverestimaJed.
A number Of Cinnamon give the
amount of pineapples taken as 600
When requested by the experts, who
quietly interviewed them, to show the
stalks or plants from which the pines
were cut, they have been able TO show
but an Insignificant number of fresh
cuts.
In one case where it was charged
that 129 pines had been taken, only
about five fresh cuts were shown. An
examination of the fields showed old
plants, with few pines on them.
If the fields which, it is alleged, were
robbed had been carefully examined
the day after the affair, the cut or
bruised plants would easily show the
extent of the Offense.
The citizens who have quietly and
Independently investigated say that all
the row has been over less than ten
dozen pines and that purchaser for
the market could not buy $50 worth OF
fruit in Manoa in a week. The pine
apple season is in June and July and
at the time the raid was made there
was very little ripe fruit. The Chinese
and other citizens of ManOa were i'm
messed nv the r17Tyq1 hnT. Of soldiers on
the tramp up there. OF course the in
trusiOn of the men is resented and
there was some damage done, but as
stated at the outset, there has been
great exaggeration of the reported
stealing The military board of in
quiry has not yet finished its labors.
