Copper City Limited will
remain unchanged. What will be the
luck OF the new card remains to be
seen. 1t went into effect at 12:15 this
afternoon. No. was closer to schedule
time than it has been for a month.
i nat Is an encouraging start and has
INSPIRED some confidence. But the time
card business has proved such a failure
inns summer that it is not easy to es-
taphsh any degree of confidence until
the new card has been subjected to the

suddenly increased. and the west bound
overland trains have been heavy. The
trains have been composed of from 10
to Is coaches, all we'll filed, and on
wednesday the train was so heavy
that it had to be run in two sections
The east-bOund trains have also done a
good business. and the Copper City
Limited has started in as if it meant
to continue the excellent showing that
it made year ago.
Under the present card No. l runs
over the Rocky mountain division in
nine hours and 90 minutes. No. makes
the run from Hope to Helena in II
hours. NO. | runs from Helena to Mis-
Souia, on schedule time. in four hours
ana 10 minutes. The number of regular
stops for this train between Helena and
MlsSoula has been reduced as much as
possible. BlossDurg, Garrison ana
Drunmond are the only scheduled
stops Tor NO. l on this end of the di-
VISION. Butter. Elllston, Avon, Gold
creek ana BearmOuth are flag stations
Tor NO. ], and the other stations are
Copper City these starred points are
flag stations. This makes it possible
for No. to do some good running in
case there is time to make up on this
division.
