WOOL MARKET QUIET.
Consumers Not Buying Heavily at the
Advanced Prices.

Consumers Not Buying Heavily at the
Advanced Prices.
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of Boston, under date of June l,
says Of the wool trade: ''The wool
market has been distinctly quieter the
past week. There have been some
sales of manufacturers on the new level
Of values recently established, but con-
sumers are not buying heavily at the
advanced prices. Prices rule firm. In
the country there is much excitement,
higher prices being paid tor the new
clip than the wool could possibly be
sold for at the seaboard markets on to-
days level Of values. It is limited that
if the markets abroad continue firm, a.
considerable amount of the new clip
may be taken for export; that is, if
domestic consumers do not come up to
the price at which wool is held here.
1.-The sales of the week at Boston
amounted to 1856, 900 pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, making q
total of 4,435, 900, against total Of
6,888, 900 for the previous week and a
total Of 2,135, 900 for the corresponding
week last year. Sales since January
1, 1899, amount to 100, ,726, 800 pounds.
against so, 483,21O pounds last year at
this time.

The Northern Pacific Will Prob
ably Be Extended There
.a This Year. .....
NEWS is HARD TO GET
But the Indications Are That the Big
Coal Mines Will Soon Be
Opened Up.

Definite information is difficult to
obtain, but from all indications it is
altogether probable that the Bridger
branch of the Northern Pacific railroad
will this summer be extended to the
famous Bear creek coal mines of Carbon
county. The holders of Bear creek
stock in Billings, who represent about
10 per cent of the stock of the Montana
Coal & Iron company, which owns the
mines, have been very active for several
weeks past. They are reticent about
giving out information, but there is
surely something in the wind
The presence in Billings Of Mr. A. G.
Hooley Of New York City. the repre-.
sentative Of Elijah Smith and other
capitalists owning the controlling in
terest in the Bear creek properties,
gives color to this belief Mr.. Hooley
has promised The Gazette that it shall
first have the news, if it is decided to
open up and operate the mines, but at
present has nothing whatever to say.
But it is not necessary for him to say
much to convince people that he is
working on some Bear creek deal. He
arrived IN this city about two months
ago, has since made trip to New York
and returned, and is still very busy and
active. The annual meeting of the
company will be held in this city on
the 18th instant and then, probably,
there will be some definite news about
the enterprise.
The distance from Bridger to Bear
creek is only about fifteen miles and
the railroad could be built in sixty
days. The grade is an easy one, too,
and the fact that General Manager
Kendrick Of the Northern Pacific, with
other officials. recently visited Bridger
and drove to Bear creek, is also signifi-
cant. Mike Elmore. the contractor,
who built the Bridger branch last year,
has also been around Billings for sew
eral weeks, although he is at present
working on a contract out in Idaho.
Like Mr.. Hooley, he has nothing to
say. but Mr.. Elmore is probably not
here for his health and no doubt has a
tip that there is to be some railroad
building in this section of the country.
One gentleman interested at Bear
creek, who certainly ought to be in a
position to know whereof he speaks,
remarked to The Gazette this week that
he thought the Bear creek coal would
be for sale in the Billings market next
fall. It is to be hoped his prediction
will come true. Besides the benefits
which would accrue to the half dozen
gentlemen in Billings who own Bear
creek stock, the opening up of the
mines would be great thing for this
city in general way, and for eastern
Montana as we'll. Without wishing to
disparage in any manner the other Car
bon county coal mines, it is we'll known
that those at Bear creek are far ahead
of any Of them, both as to the quality
and quantity of the coal. If railroad
is built to them, Bear creek will be
big camp and it's development will nat

Mr.. Losekamp stated that the order
for fireworks should be sent in at the
earliest possible moment, and any busi-
ness house wishing special features
should hand in it's order at once to the
committee.
On motion the chairman appointed
an executive COMMITTEES of seven, him
self to be an ex-offioio member, the
other members being: John D. Lose
kamp, W. B. George, Thos. S. Linton,
J. D. Matheson, H. W. Rowley, Goo.
f. Bennighoff and Chas. Spear This
committee was given power to appoint
subcommittee. A recess was taken,
the executive committee adjou1ning to
the Office of District Clerk Williams.
J. D. Matheson was appointed secre-
tary. The following committees were
then appointed:
Fire Works-Losekamp Yegen and
Spear.
Advertising-J. D. Matheson, Thos.
S. Linton and W. B. George.
Railroad Fares-A. L.. Babcock and
G. Yegen.
The following, together with the
committees appointed to look after the
same. will give our readers. an idea of
the programme and amusements to be
furnished: . .
Indian Parade-C' Spear, W. B. Ten
Eyck and 9. o. Gruwell ..
Dance-John Staffek, M. B. Rade-
maker and Frank Golish.
Barbecue-A. J. Gilsdorf, J. W.

Invitation and Reception-Mayor,
city council. Messrs. H. W. Rowley,
E. L. Boardman, and J. D. Matheson.
Music-W. L. Linton, L. H. Fenske
and A. L. Babcock. ......
The executive committee then ad-
journed to meet Saturday night at 8
o'clock at T. A. Williams office, at
which time the subcommittee are
requested to report.
The subscription papers are still in
circulation and all moneys will be
cheerfully received.
No mention is made, we observe, of
baseball game, which many persons
think would be an attractive feature of
the celebration. If the club from
Sheridan, Red Lodge or some other city
was invited here for the Fourth. it
would certainly bring more people
from whichever place the visitors came.
If not ZOO late, The Gazette would
suggest that a ball game be made one
of the attractions, provided it is the
desire of the home club to remain at
home on that day.

from the description given of him he is

opening up of these mines has been
anticipated and the hopes of those in
terested, we believe, are now about to

it will be remembered The Gazette
first published the news that the Ana
conda company would open coal mine
at Carbonate, and now this newspaper
predicts that Bear creek will be opened
this year. We may be mistaken, Of
course, but we look for dirt to be flying
on the extension of the railroad from
Bridger inside Of ninety days.

BASEBALL NEWS.
Billings Club Has Several Challenges
Helena Wants a Game Badly


W. B. Calhoun, who is managing
the Billings Baseball club, has received
letter from the Helena state league
club asking what dates are open either
for game in this city or the state capi-
tai city. Mr.. Calhoun has not yet
answered the letter. but will do SO
soon, setting the dates for series of
games with the Helenaites, which will
probably be played in the latter city.
Arrangements are being made to
have Freeman. catcher for the Sheri-
dan, Wyo., team. come to Billings to
remain for the summer, at least This
is one position our boys have been un-
able to fill satisfactorily, the other 20
sitions being occupied by good players.
With such catcher as Freeman the
boys expect to put up a rattling good
game. The club expects to go to Red
Lodge on June l3 to play and are get
ting in good shape, knowing full we'll
they have strong aggregation to go
against.
The home club has also received a
challenge from Sheridan for game
and will probably visit that city in a
couple Of weeks, so that return game
may be played in Billings OH the
Fourth of July. The boys may be
little late in getting to work, but the
enthusiasm and ability is in them and
will be shown to good advantage in
short time. They should receive the
hearty support of our people in their
efforts.
