MADE A GOOD STRIKE
Great Things Expected on the
Coded Strip.
EXCEEDINGLY RICH ORE
The Discovery Came as Complete Sur
prise to the Miners-An Impetus
to the Mining Industry in
the Whole District.

Great Falls, Oct. 9.-Great things are
expected from the ceded strip of the
Blackfoot reservation within the next
few weeks, for although no details can
be learned, it is pretty certain that A.
M. Esler has made a good strike on
Swift Current.
10 all who have kept in close touch
with the strip, where immense mineral
deposits are known to exist, it will be
a matter of important news to learn
that Mr.. Eslers men this week struck
a body of exceedingly rich ore in the
tunnel they have been driving at
depth of considerably less than leo
feet The discovery comes as a COM
plete surprise to the miners. it not be-
ing anticipated until a distance Of at
least rs feet had been reached.
Elated over his find, Mr.. Esler now
proposes to drive the tunnel 200 taet
further, making it 900 feet in ALL The
force of 80 men that has been steadily
employed on the work since it's incep-
ton will be largely increa sed, Mr.. Eslar
having gone to Butte to employ more
miners. Plans are also under way 20
erect two additional COMMENTATORS in
the immediate vicinity Of the strike.
They are to be completed within the
next few months. An impetus not only
to the mining industry but to the sur
rounding region will thus be given ty
the report of this welcome piece Of
news.

Lewistown Is Afraid of the Introduction
of smallpox.
Great Falls, Oct 9.-The following
suggestion of a quarantine against
Great Falls is made by the Lewistown
Democrat:
AS precautionary measure and one
which the health and safety of the
community demands, it is an imperative
necessity that rigidly enforced quar-
antine be established and maintained by
our board of health against Great Falls
Unfortunately for that city there is
now existing there an epidemic of
smallpox, reports varying as to the
number of cases, but it is unquestion-
ably true that they are sufficiently nu-
merous to create at least grave apprs-
hension. Our proximity to the Falls
and the large amount of travel between
LeWistown and that point is serious
menace. and we believe that in justice
to ourselves We should forthwith c,stab-
llsh a quarantine of the strictest cnar-
acter. We deplore the misfortune
which has overtaken Great Falls. but
self-preservation is the first law Of IA
ture, and We should lose no time in
adopting extreme precautionary meas
ures. Prompt and decisive action at
this time will no doubt enable Lewis
town to avoid visitation of this epl-
demic.
Therefore we most heartily urge that
our board of health give this marter
the serious attention which it deserves.

in his small way as Aamlral pewev. Eddie.

In his small way as Admiral Dewey. Eddie,
with his parents, was a passenger on the i'll
fated Nutmeg State the night it went down
oil the coast of Connecticut, relates L.eslie's
Weekly. When the alarm was given that
the ship was on fire and sinking the boy
was fast asleep in a stateroom, occupied also
by Mr.. and Mrs. Murray. His wother helped
him into his clothes, and then all thr. G
hurried to the main deck. They were about
the last to reach it, however, and. with the
exception Of one small life boat, all chance
of escape was cut off. Hurrying TO the
ships side, Mr.. Murray helped his wife to
descend TO the small boat, already almost
too full for safety. Then turning to his
boy he said, Hurry, Eddie!' But the child
fell back out Of reach OF his father, and
with an expression on his face born of real
courage, said: mo, father: you 20 first.
Mother needs you moro than mo!' Nor
would he take one step toward safety until
his father had lowered himself into the bolt.
The rope at the ships side was ablaze as
the noble little fellow slid down into the life
boat and was folded in his mothers arms. At
hcme he is regarded one of the brightest
boys in his class at school, and has a tai MT
for music that may before long bring him
