The Veterans Talk Over the
Olden Times.
A FEAST WAS FURNISHED
In Which Beans Were a Leading Feat
ure--Were Assisted by Sew
eral Young Ladies.

With hair almost as white as the snow
capped peaks of the Rockies, the old vet
Grams gathered at one of their camp fires
on Yesterday, Washington's birthday and
told anew of the times, when they, like
Washington, defended the nation. The
event was what is known in Grand Army
circles as {. bean bake n camp fire. The
bill of fare was baked beans, coffee n
bread. a reminder of army diet, but pre-
pared for this occasion to suit the taste
of the most delicate as evidenced by the
number, old and young, who came out in
large numbers to do honor to t he event
which was in keeping with the day. The
hall was decorated with the national col
photographs of honored generals from
Washington down to the present time.
At the head of the hall hung Washing
toms picture in a woodland scene. In one
window facing on the street were stacked
arms and in the other window a camp
fire. From behind the woodland scene
the beans We're served by the members of
the G.. A. r., who although bent with age
carried out their part with the alertness
of the youth of today. They We're assist
ed, so to speak, by the daughters of the
regiment, Miss Grace Wisner, Miss Edna
Waterbury, Miss Anna Wright, and the
Misses Marchion. They are among Ana
conda's fairest and post patriotic daugh-
tiers, the pride of the G.. A. r., post, and
justly so, as evidenced at the close last
night when these five mob ladies stood
in the midst of the scared veterans at
the camp fire and with voices which
seemed to come from HEAVIER mingled in
song and chorus dedicated to the honor OF
the glorious living and dead heroes of the
G.. A.. r. 1t was a picture never to be
forgotten, and many who saw it were
moved to emotion and shed tears of joy
Messrs. George ElistOn and James E
Messenger acter as drum corps and madt
the Only music rendered, which sounded
from mountain to mountain.

time before saw a strange man crossing
over toward the sand house from the

WOOD MARKET CLUTTED

There was more wood from the mis- on
the market yesterday than any day since
winter set in. 1t was also a poor day 10
sell wood owing to it being a legal holl-
day which seemed to be overlooked by the
woodmen who seemed to be. governed by
good sleighing and brought in an unusual
supply of pole and cord wood. At O'Clock
there were 81 loads of wood on the mar
ket. Buyers We're scarce but most Ct the
wood offered for sale was taken but not
all. Yesterday was one of the lays the
wood market was glutted but that did not
lessen the. price which is going upwards
instead of declining. None of the God
sold for less thar the equivalent of 50 per
cord. A few loads sold for a better price.

ON STREET

The division line between st. Paul's
and st. Peters Catholic church parishes
which was designated a short time ago to
be on Alder street, has been changed to
Chestnut street. This places the boundary
line of st. Peters parish two blocks fur
ther west thai the first boundary line.
According to the first map st. Peters
church was right on the boundary line.
Under the present segregation it is two
blocks east of the boundary line and st.
Pauls church is three blocks west of the
line on Chestnut street. Chestnut street has
been established as the permanent line
between the two parishes. All east of
that street including Carroll, belongs to
St. Peters church, and all west of that
street to st. Paul's church.

Big Blackfoot river for $13, 500. Mr.. Dick
ert sells only nine of his th~irty-nine
hundredths interest. Very little has been
written about this copper district which
outside of the Moose lake district is the
most promising copper district in western
Montana if not in the whole state. In De-
cember, 1897, the Anaconda Recorder
printed the following about the Dickert
copper mines:
During 1893 Mike Mccormick, Con
Coughlin and Tom Cotter discovered cop
per claims about six miles up StoneWal
gulch from Lincoln valley. They have
three claims. On the Buck lode a 50-foot
tunnel with a four foot vein of ore which
runs from 4 to so per cent copper and Z to
8 ounces silver. The Blue Grouse claim
adjoining, with an S0-foot tunnel, carry
ing 80 per cent copper and some silver and
has a 7-foot ledge. Next comes the Copper
King with as good ore as the Blue Grous
in a 60-foot tunnel. This property was
leased and bonde for $50, 900 to a man
named Buhring of Salt Lake City in Aug
ust, 1899. In September of the same year
Fred Dickert, also of Salt Lake City,
bought into the lease and bond with Buh-
ring. During the month of October they
Quarreled and gave up the property.
Dickert then asked for a new lease and
bond at the same figures and was refused.
Dickert knew a good camp and turned
his attention to prospecting and develop
ing. He now has 20 men working on a
group of copper claims further up Stone
wall gulch. Just what he has in sight no
one knows. for he is said to guard his
place like the interior of a mint. Salt
Lake City capital is said to be backing
him.. Some place his expenditure at $780,
900 for development work already. All his
provisions n supplies are freighted in
from Silver City near Helena.
