Tho Black Diamond Rediyiyus.

The Black Diamond Railroad project
has como to tho front again. Tho An
derson Mail prints an interesting story
about tho situation and says:
Tho local promoters of tho Black Dia-
mond railroad arc jubilant over certain
recent developments connected with that
proposed trunk limo. AS was stated in
ago, surveying in South Carolina and
Georgia is practically at an end, but that
IN North Carolina is yet to be finished.
1t seems now that q preliminary sur
vey has already been mado along tho
route to bo pursued in the Tar Heel
State, and in view of this fact tho Lon
aon, syndicate wac informed that no
funds would bo expended to make q
second survey unless tho English capi-
talsts would foot tho bill.
In, roply to This tho syndicate sont a
check for $500 last week to Mr.. j. l..
Iribble, of this oity, with which to par
TALLY dofray the expenses Of tho North
Carolina survey. This is by far tho most
favorable sign that has appeared lately
to strengthen confidence in the ultimate
construction and operation of tho great
Black Diamond.
Syndicates nowadays do not pull monoy
out of their pockets and spend it with
out good reason to believe it will return
to thcm and with goodly interest. 1t ia
quito an interesting coincidence tho
mysterious. "Missing Link" railroad
should be bobbing up just at this timo
when it scoms that Black Diamond affairs
arc assuming dofinito shape
Promoters OF tho Black Diamond
horo and olsewhore--expres the opinion
that behind the missing Link" close
investigation will reveal tho Southern.
They think tho Southern people realize
that tho Black Diamond 8 q certainty
and in consequence arc acti ,oly at work
in the effort to control lir @ from Wal
halla, South Carolina, to Chattanooga,
Tennessee. This theory is plausible, but
"for tricks that arc vain," etc., railroads
arc distinctly "peculiar.'

HE FORCED A COMPROMISE.
With His Antagonist in a Well, the Store
keeper Had the Advantage.

From the Kansas City Journal
Charley Sheldon tells a funny story
on H. d. Shepard who is well known as
president of the Burlingame bank. In
the early days of Usage county Shepard
kept a little store and tried to farm,
and on one occasion he dug a well,
with the assistance of Joe Richards, a
neighbor. One day Richards was work.
ing down in the well and Shepard was
handling the windlass at the top, when
a rancher came along and wanted
something out of the store. Shepard
shouted down the well to Richards that
he would be gone only minute and
then went with the rancher to the store.
While at the store another rancher
came along and wanted to trade Shep-
ard some cattle. Shepard, being the
most absent minded man that ever
lived, forgot all about poor Richards
and went with the rancher into the
country. Returning at night, he went
to bed, still forgetting the man down
in the well. But about o'clock in the
morning he awoke with a start, his
subconsciousness having brought him
to a realization of the situation. Hastily
dressing he went out to the well and in
frightened tones shouted down: Joe,
are you still alive?" Joe was still alive,
but he had yelled so long for help that
he could scarcely speak and he was able
to reply only in hoarse and profane
whisper. When l get out of here"
said he, lit won't be me that they'll git
the funeral ready for" However, Joe
was a man of his word and Shepard
knew that he would keep a promise, so
he sat down by the wellside and opened
negotia tions. A man who had been
down in a well 20 hours without any
thing to eat or drink is not in cond-
ton to conduct a very extended debate,
and Shepard soon extracted a promise
from Joe that he wouldn't show fight
when he got to the surface. Then the
rope was lowered and the prisoner set
free.

us one of our worthy and esteemed
fellow laborers. Alfred Berard; and
Whereas, The long and intimate re-

deeply realized by all the members ana

prove a serious loss to the community

Missoula, Aug. 3.-The Occur dAlene
train has been very heavy for a week
and tonight was the largest that 1t
has been since the suspension of op-
erations in the Wallace country after
the riot at Wardner. Several of the
mines on Canyon creek are now ship
ping concentrates, and the Morning
mine at Mullan will be shipping in a
few days. The Hunter mine at Null
Ian is doing development work and is
preparing to rebuild its concehtrator
which was burned several years ago.
The Tiger-Poorman has not begun
shipping yet. The business on the
Coeur dAlene branch has assumed its
old-time proportions, and in another
week will beat its own record If the
expected increase continues.

MANY improvements,

Mssoula, Aug. sc. Deschamps has
received from the makers in Illinois
one of the finest thrashing machines
that is possible to be put on the market.
1t is the latest style and has all the
modern improvements-is self-feeder:
cuts its own bands; has an automatic
measurer, and the latest improved
straw carrier. There arrived also a
traction engine and a water wagon.
The new separator is big improve
ment over the one that was burned
down last fall in Grass valley, and it
will save the work of about II men.

"amoosin' little cusses," and their an
tics afford amusement for those who
go to watch them. They were cap
tured in the mountains recently and do
not seem unhappy in their captivity.
Up from Darby to the forks of the
river the drive is a pleasant one, but 1t
becomes even more delightful as the
road follows up the East Fork toward
Ross Hole. This stream is one of the
most beautiful ever seen. Its clear,
rushing water abounds in trout ana
they can be caught without much trou-
BILE. Judge Woody, who accompanied
a Standard man on this trip last week
caught trout by casting his flies from
the seat of the buggy. The horses We're
driven close to the bank and no sooner
had the fly struck the water than a
trout seized it and was promptly trans
ferred to the buggy. Colonel Crutch-
field ate that trout the next morning at
Hamilton. The river has this spring
changed the map of this part OF the
valley considerably. 1t has formed in
places entirely new channels for itself,
and in other places it has wiped out OF
existence the county road. This makes
it bad travelling for a few miles. but
nowhere is it at all dangerous
At the head of the East Fork is the
as Ross Hole. Who Ross was is a
fact that has become lost to historians.
Even Judge Woody and Duncan Nc
Donald give it up. but they are positive
that 1t was not Dan. But, whoever he
was. Ross ought to feel proud that this
valley is named for him. 1t is all farm
ed and is all deep in hay and grain.
1t is dotted with substantial farm
houses and is altogether delightful
place. The hay harvest is now in full
swing.
A drive of a few miles from the Hole
takes the traveller to the foot OF the
grade that leads over the divide into
the Big Hole country. Here he will find
Waugh's ranch, and here he will stop
to rest before he climbs the mountains
1t is the end of the Bitter Root and 1t
is splendid place to rest The trout
bite harder than the mosquitoes ana
the people cook them to turn. Ihere
are spring chickens to vary the Dill OF
fare and there is cool shade ana com
fort for those who want to rest. IL IS
possible to bathe in the waters or the
stream, but it is not advisable. Inc
Standard man tried it and does not rec
ommend it to people of delicate consti-
tutions. Judge Woody did not bathe.

HIS LITTLE GAME.
How a Persuasive Hebrew Beggar Worked
MissOula People.

How Persuasive Hebrew Beggar Worked
Missoula People.
Missoula, Aug. 3.-Hermann Kohn
has had a little experience of his own
with Hebrew beggar and, while he
has charged to profit and loss the
amount that he invested in this ex-
perience, he wants the people of Butte
and Anaconda to know about it, as the
fellow was headed that way and will
probably try to work the same racket
with the Jewish people of those cities.
The fellow came in from the West
Tuesday and applied for aid. He said
that he was painter and had had
hard luck, but that he would work if
he could find a job. Mr.. Kohn helped
him with some cash; Mrs. Kohn, Mrs.
Lesser and Mrs. Solomon gave him
clothing and he was found employment
with a local painter. He worked a few
hours and his employer advanced him
some money, as he seemed to be tired.
Then he called upon Mr.. Kohn again
and received a donation. That is the
last that has been seen of him. Mr..
Kohn says that the fellow is a Jew
and has an impediment in his speech
that will enable all of his prospective
victims to recognize him. His tale is
pathetic one, and is told very effec-
lively and skillfully.
The two supposed priests who at.
tracted attention in Anaconda two OF

but have made systematic canvass

tract from a letter received here from
commissioned officer of the regular
army, now in Manila, will be of inter-
est:
II am disgusted with all the stuff l
have seen of late in the papers from
home, If the volunteers are guilty of
all the letters that are published as
their compositions, they are worse than
| think them. They have done good
work here and they ought not to spoil
the good record that they have made by
indulging in baby talk. Personally, l
am as much opposed to this struggle as
anyone can be- We don't want these
islands, and there was no need OF this
war (though now we are in 1t we can't
pull out), but [ believe in keeping still
and taking what Uncle Sam gives us.
