events ever held in this portion of the
state was given at Jardine Christmas

ters of the new mill. The men who nave
assisted Manager Bush in the great work
accomplished during the past year in this
prosperous mining camp were guests of

every portion of Park county, and the
event without doubt, was one of the most
successful social functions ever given in
eastern Montana. During the early por-

given which was enjoyed by nearly 700
guests. The menu included all the deli
cacies hat the market affords including
wine. champagne and refreshing drinks of
various kinds. At the close of the BAN
quet, the banquet hall was cleared and
the guests formed on for the grand
march, which was led by Mr.. and Mrs.

of the great mill and no sooner had the
marching began, than the machinery of
