bonded the Mines,

Great Falls, June 5.-Henry Norris, who
is in Choteau from St. Mary this week
reports that NJ. Esler, the Helena mining
man. has bonded the Maine and Starke
brothers promising group of mines, con-
sisting in all of Is claims. The mines are
bonded for SIZE, 900, or S12,500 a claim, and
a payment of $40, 900 is said to have been
made down. The balance is to be paid in
equal installments every six months. The
mines are in the Swift Current district
and present a remarkable showing, the
leads carrying both gold and copper. Some
of the claims have shafts down from 80
to 70 feet, and Mr.. Esler believes that
the extraordinary showing made at this
depth justifies him in spending money
looking for more.
The properties bonded are owned by
J. B. Peters and Joseph Widmyer of Hell
ena, Sam Jones of Blachloot, and others.
1ta is understood that some prominent
Eastern parties are in the deal and that
company will be formed to work the
properties and the stock will be put on
the market in the near future If as the
claims are worked further development
justifies it, machinery will be purchased
and put on the claims. A smelter of
small capacity will be built to accommo-
date the ore taken from the Bullshead
group. By this means the refined ore can
be transported by teams to the railroad,
mourning but little expense for transport
tation. A smelter of the required capacity
Tor the present will cost in the neighbor-
mood of $500 There are other claims also
in the district which are being examined
with view to bond and purchase and the
prospect of a lively season in the coded
strip is very good.

Too Much Reform.

Great Falls, June 5.--From all reports
the little town of Havre is experiencing
a reform which does not reform The
new town administration, which started
in with much declaration of its inten-
ton to purify the civic and social at
mosphere, has apparently failed to keep
its performance in line with its prom
Use. Private advice from Havre says
that about all of the saloons are run
ming open crap games and ordinance
No. 80, so stringent in it's provisions, is
commonly ignored. A number of petit
lions to the town council are being cir
culated through the town and they ask
that the ordinance be so modified as to
come within the human possibilities.
The changes asked include everything
from complete repeal to a slight modi-
fication. One petition asks that the or
dinance be so amended as to allow the
saloons to remain open through Sunday
but to close every night at midnight,
In comparison with other Montana
towns this in itself would be a yery
stringent provision, but it has been evil
dent from the start that ordinance No.
80 in its original form could only meet
with repeated violations and finally he
entirely ignored.

Planning a Big Time.

Hayre, June 4.-The advance agent of
the Ringing Bros circus visited this
town this week and made all arrange
ments for ground, fodder and other sup
niles. The show will be here on July 1
and the citizens of Havre are now en-
deavoring to make the celebration of
the following national holiday the
greatest in the history of the town.
They argue that the circus will bring a
large number of ranchers,' stock and
sheepmen to the town on the list and if
there is to be a worthy celebration of
July the crowd will remain in town
through the intervening days and thus
become a source of much profit to the
business men. 1t is a canny scheme
and one which is well worth trying.

OOI Ii NEWS.
THEY WOULDN'T GRANT IT
Proposed Street Would Cross
Eleven Tracks.
A PETITION FOR GRADES
1t Was Recommended That the City En-
gineer Be Given Instructions-Pro-
ceedings of the Street and
Alley Committee.
A PETITION FOR GRADES

The street and alley committee of the
city council met yesterday afternoon
and investigated various matters that
had been referred to it. A petition was
received from residents of the Valley
addition asking that the city open up
Iowa avenue to that addition and put
it in proper condition for travel. The
committee visited this section of the
city and decided to recommend that the
petition be not allowed, owing to the
fact that the proposed street would
have to cross II railroad tracks. 1t was
considered better to make a street by
the Continental Oil company's works,
where there would only be one track to
cross.
A petition was received from residents
of lower Main street, Iowa avenue,
First, Second and Front streets, asking
that grades be established in that vi
entity. 1t was recommended that the
city engineer be instructed to establish
the grades and put in cross walks
whore desirable.
Mrs. Richard Harrington was granted
a rebate of $25.S5 on her sidewalk tax.
The petition of Mrs. McCarry for re-
bate on her sidewalk tax was not al
lowed. The petition of John Bulla for &
rebate on his sidewalk tax was allowed.
The horse committee was out last
evening inspecting horses with aview to
making some purchases for the street
department of the city, but did not
make any purchases.
The fire and water committee met last
evening and considered plans submitted
by Architects White and Lignell for a
new fire station to be erected on the
new site which has been purchased by
the city. 1t is likely that the plans will
be modified so as to provide for build
ing that will not be quite so expensive.
The plans as revised allow of no recep-
ton room and gymnasium, as was con-
templated in the original plans. The
sleeping rooms and hay loft are on the
second floor. The building under the
revised plans could be erected for $15,-
600, including everything. BY the form
err plans the cost would be $4,000. I'm
der the new plans the walls are lighter
and the building is not so high, the
gymnasium and reception room being
done away with so that there will be a
half story less than was at first con-
templated.

DRAGGED TO HIS DEATH
A Young Boy Became Tangled in
a Rope.
HE WAS LEADING A HORSE
Death Was Almost Instantaneous - The
Head Was Crushed - Part
Of the Clothing Torn
Off

Great Falls, June 5.-Yesterday even
ing, in leading horse home, Guy Stef-
fey was caught in the rope and dragged
to death before his fathers eyes,. The
boy was nine years old and the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank e. Steffey, of No.
zoos Seventh avenue north. The horse
was picketed in an empty lot by a long
picket rope, and the boy went out to
fetch him home. AS the animal is gen
tie and, probably without thinking
much about it, the boy wrapped the
rope about his arm and drove the horse
along toward the barn. 1t became
frightened at something and ran. The
dragged across the railway track, re-
ceiving injuries which resulted almost
instantly in DEATH The horse contin-
ued it's fight to the barn, dropping the
lifeless boy almost at the doorstep of
his home. Mr. Steffey had seen the ac-
cident and ran out to intercept the
horse, but by the time he reached the
boy the latter, although still breathing,
was practically dead. One shoe and
part of the clothing was torn from the
boys body, his head was crushed in
and he was otherwise injured.
Several men in the Last Chance sa-
loon also saw the accident and started
out to head the horse off, but were too
late. The father on discovering that
his boy was dead fell fainting. The
boy was bright little lad, very popu-
lar among his youthful! companions and
his parents have the sympathy of
every one in their aff1iction. The fun
eral will take place tomorrow morning
from the Presbyterian church.
