BIG HOLE

Sheriff Jack Conley has purchased a
span Of 5-year-old coal black horses
which are without a doubt the best
matched team in Deer Lodge county. The
purchase price was $16o. He secured them
from Alphonse Gravelle in the Big Hole
country. and was today several times Of
fered 5000 for his bargain.
The sheriff was not looking for a team
when he made the purchase, but he hap
pened to meet Mr.. Gravelle and when
he found the team was for sale he at
once saw a big bargain and wrote a
check for the amount of the purchase
price.
Another team of we'll matched horses.
which recently came from the Big Hole
country. was purchased not long ago by
c. A. futile of this city, who shipped
them to Butte, where they are now used
by the National Undertaking company.
Dutch" the big bay horse at the fire
house, also came from the Big Hole coun-
try, and is as fine a specimen of horse
flesh as can be found in the city of Ana
conda. With the horses referred to and
others which have been seen from that
section the Big Hole promises to become
as famous for raising fine horses as it is
known to be for it's cattle, which have
attracted the attention of the entire west
during the past two years.

Of a society in Anaconda which forbtds
the to wear a muStache. he
conceived the idea of organizing the cup
while he was down in Cuba last winter.
Down there no one wears a mustache-
it is either a smooth face or a full beard.
That is what Mr.. Hamm.l says. He wore
a mustache and was taken for a tough
on account of the way he wore his beard.
He shaved his mustache off, and upon his
return formed a club among the me-
chanics who are working under him on
the new court house.
The New Workers We're evidently con-
siderably taken up with Mr.. Hammilrs
society, for yesterday he received a letter
which reads as follows:
Office Associated News. New York, July
6, Saskatchewan Jack Hammil, Ana
conda, Montana: Dear Sir.-klndly

to send out an article on the subject to all

Alderman Hammil was seen this morn
ing by an Inter Mountain reporter. He
said the mo Mustache club was in a
healthy condition and the members We're
keeping their obligations to a man. If
the men in New York city cared to pat
tern after Anaconda he was willing for
his residence city to reap the benefit.
Yes" said he, Il will send my photo
graph and do what l can to further the
interests of the club even in New York.
OF course l am not as handsome as some
OF the other members of the club, but my
best girl says l am pretty enough for her
and the absence of my mustache has not
caused any complaint from her.

BIC FOREST FIRE
Is Raging in the Vicinity Of the
City Today.
WAS STARTED BY BOYS
Thousands of Cords of Wood Were
Destroyed and the End is Not in
Sight--Brilliant Display.

A forest fire, the worst ever happened
near Anaconda, is raging in the vicinity
Of Mount Haggin and must either burn
its way into perpetual snow or timber
line. The fire started yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock, being caused by
sparks from the camp of two small boys
picnicking at the base of the mountains,
not far distant from Vincent's ranch, six
miles west of the city. The fire spread
rapidly to the south and west and ragged
1iercely in the neighborhood of the supply
reservoir of the water between
Anaconda and Lake Hearst. Within an
hour a mighty volume of smoke was tow
ering ~heavenward, which, owing to the
altitude, could be seen more thai 100
miles away, and many telephone mes
sages We're sem in from surrounding
towns asking h was afire. By 5 o'clock
over 1900 cords of wood were consumed,
the work of three or four poor wood
choppers during the past year. Some Of
the wood was piled up, but the greater
part of 1t lay on the ground and with the
treetops made food for the fire to spread
like a demon.
1t was a brilliant sight last night. with
the snow-capped peak of Noun Haggin
towering h~eavenward above a sea of
flames which covered several thousand
acres on the mountain side in plain view
of the city. The forest is thick and dry.
Nothing can be done but let it burn itself
out. What time that will take, and the
country it will cover. depends upon the
snow in the mountains and the weather.
1t is claimed a party left yesterday morn
ing to ascend Mount Haggin. Such a trip
takes all the daylight of these long DAYS,
and the descent would bring the party
If there was one up there into the fire
about two-thirds down the mountains.
1t is not certain that any party was in
the mountains, but it is reported so, and
there will be considerable uneasiness un-
til that matter has been definitely settled,
and If there was their ultimate safety.

FRUIT SHIPMENTS.

The Bitter Root stra wberry season is
now on in full force and for the next
sixty days the popular Copper City Linn
tied, running between Hamilton, Ana
conda and Butte will carry more fruit
than any other three trains in Montana,
Last Saturday t he express car on the in
coming train was more than half filled
with strawberries and the season has
just opened. Ten days or two weeks from
now the shipments will be at their zenith
and late trains can be expected from
Hamilton while the rush is on,
From now until fall the shipment of all
Kinds of berries, cherries, plums, april
cots, pears. peaches, apples, etc., which
grow prolifcally in the Bitter Root. will
continue. Any one who has never seen
the Bitter Root valley and Is at all skep-
tlcal about raising fruit in Montana
would do well to watch and see the fruit
unloaded at Anaconda and Butte from
the Copper CITY Limited, during the next
two months. The fruit is good sound and
juicy and u~nequaled in the world. Ana
cOnda and Butte are the best markets in
the state for fruits as wuii as other COM
moditles. therefore the fruit shipment is
one Of the most important to the business
world.
The Missoula correspondent of the
Mine says: The Bitter Root strawberry
IS with US and with you also. 1t is not in
lull llaNoF Set, the sun NIT having been
active enough to get around and inject
sufic.ent saccharlne matter into its life
blood, but the doctor of the air is more
brisk in his movements and his inocula-
tons are taking. Next week the berry
that is dessert TO the people will possess
the tang and bouquet that makes the
Montana product and makes it so %zestful.
All strawberries raised in western Mon
tana are called Bitter Root berries. but
large quantities are grown and shipped
from Missoula, Rattlesnake and Plains
valleys, which some claim are superior
to the Bitter Root product. They are at
least just as good. The crop this year is
not so large as last year which has
converted many a none making patch
into a nice nome for the cricket and the
gfasshopper. Borers nave also DESTROYED
a great many apple trees so there Will be
a shortage Of apples: SO farmers say, bur
that remains to be seen.

POET RILEY'S NEAT COPY.

A short time ago James Whitcomb Ri
ley wrote a long poem for a New York
newspaper. 1t was ordered in advance,
and was to be sent in upon a certain day.
Now, most writer's, especially poets, are
dilatory. But the Hoosier bare is an
exception to the rule. His poem arrived
the day it was promised. 1t came by ex-
press in a formidable parcel. First were
the outer wrappings of heavy brown pa
per, then some soft packing stuff, Inc be-
meath that the board covers within which
was the manuscript, tied together with a
small ribbon, and so neat that the editor
was almost afraid to turn the leaves.

At the 6 of 9 or 10 the woman porter
of Martinique can carry a heavy basket
or tray containing a weight of from 25
to 80 pounds. She then begins to go on
long peddling journeys with her mother,
elder sister or responsible female friend,
walking barefoot as many as Is miles a
day. At 10 she is vigorous and tough as
a mountain pony, and, like most noun
tain-bred women, she is comely. She
carries now upon her head a tray and
burden of from 100 to 80 pounds, earning
less than 30 shillings a month by travel
ing so miles a day as an iteinerant seller.
Forty or so miles a day, always bearing
a burden of over 100 pounds-for stones
are added as the tray is emptied of mer-
chandise, to maintain the customary
weight-and this for an income of a franc
a day. Out of this franc she has her
food and sleeping quarters to procure,
and her clothes to get. Twenty francs a
year will keep her in clothes.
A brief chemise and a light calico robe
constitute her travelling apparel. On her
head she wears a soft toche, or pad, upon
which the TAFT (tray) is placed. She
wears no shoes; she needs none. The soles
of her feet are toughened to something
like India rubber, feeling no asperities of
surface, bidding defiance to the sharpest
fiints. Her food is simple-5 sous a day
for bread or biscuits, a few sous for rag
out. a few sous for some cheap liquor to
mix with her drinking water; perhaps Is
sous in all. Her sleeping quarters might
be expected to bring her daily expenses
up to a franc; nevertheless, such is her
ability to econOmiZe that she not only
manages to live on her income (Which
seems Incredibly, but actually
enough to set herself up in some simple
business when her youth and physical
powers decline.-Chambers' Journal.
