A Good Showing

Great Falls, Oct. 16.-W. L. Cook and
George Marelius are claimants of the
Marguerite and. w. H. Harrison lodes,
situated on Carpenter creek, and about
five miles from the town of Nehart,
says the Herald. These claims are adj
joining, on one continuous vein, which
shows strong throughout distance of
5000 feet. "A tunnel on the Marguerite
enters the hill distance of 200 feet, in
the face of which is about two feet of
sulphide lead ore, carrying 65 to rs per
cent lead, so ounces in silver and some
copper. A car load of ore is on the
dump, taken out in the course of a few
days, driving the tunnel ahead
This mine presents one of the best
shoWings to be found in these noun
tains. The ore is free smelling, and
easy of access. The owners are pre-
pairing to do some extensive work on
this claim, a notable move being to
sink a shaft 200 feet deep, opening
levels and slopes. The country is easily
mined, the large vein standing between
walls of porphyry and granite

S. Jennings, Terry Mclaughlin and
Denny McGrail, never looked better
than it does to-day. The work is in a

claim. From this shaft is a drift run

inches solid of fine copper lead ore. as
saying 51a to % per. cent. copper, 80

Great Falls. Oct. 16.-One of the fea-
lures Of the reception to Montana sol
diers in this city will be the presence of
the Indian children from the Fort Shaw
school. The committee has been very
anxious to secure Them and this morning
received the following kind offer from
the Great Falls & Canada railway:
Referring to our telephone CONVERSE
ton of this morning. in which you stated
that you would be satisfied with box cars
to convey the Fort Shaw Indian school
children from Vaughn to Great Falls. on
account of our passenger stock being tied
up at the north end of the line, owing to
the restrictions Of the Canadian govern
ment, I now take pleasure in advising
you that. in view of the occasion, we will
carry these children free of charge and
shall arrange to have satisfactory con-
veniences placed in the cars.
please understand that these cars will
be placed on Vaughn siding the night be-
fore the day of the celebration and will
be picked up and brought into Great Falls
by our regular passenger train, which is
scheduled to pass there at 8 o'clock in
the morning, arriving in Great Falls 40
minutes later. They will be able to re-
turn the next morning, leaving Great
Falls at $40 and arriving at Vaughn at
10 o'clock. You will, of course, under,
stand that there will be possibility of
our train into Great Falls being late, ow-
ing to the uncertainty of the Great Nor
thern connection at Shelby Junction.

IT WAS A SURPRISE.
A Young Irish Immigrant Found Money
Awaiting Him.

"A fouhe irish Immigrant Found Money
Awaiting Him.
A gentlemanly appearing and modest
young lrishman called upon Mayor Nc
Carthy the other day and said that he
was Just over from the old sod and was
looking for the chief magistrate of the
city OF Butte. The mayor informed the
young man that he was at his service,
whereupon the visitor drew from his
pocket g letter of introduction. The
letter was no surprise to the mayor,
who had just received letter from the
writer of the Introductory note. The
young man explained that he had held
piece OF land near Drogheda, Ireland,
and that he was obliged to give 1t up
on account of the very low prices of
the products Of the farm. He said that
he had heard much about Butte and
its thriving industries and concluded to
try his luck in the promised land. The
letter he handed to the mayor reads:
This is to certify that the bearer.
Thomas Branigan, recently held farm
near this town, but owing to the reduc-
tion in the prices Of all agricultural
produce was obliged to give up same.
he belongs to reputable family, un-
derstands farming well and is honest
and Industrious. He will give satisfac-
ton to any person who will give him
employment. LUKE j. ELCOCK,
Mayor of Drogheda'
The mayor read the letter and the
young man watched the face Of the
reader closely. The mayor wished the
young man success in his new field and
then introduced a very pleasant sur
prise to his visitor He drew from a
pigeon hole in his desk the following
letter and read it:
To the Mayor or Chief Magistrate
Of Butte City Silver Bow, Montana, u
s. a: Honorable Sir: + inclose you a
bank draft for eS payable at sight in
favor Of young man named Thomas
Branigan of Drogheda. ireland. He will
show you letter of Introduction given
him by me on municipal official paper
stamped with corporate seal of Dro-
gheda. You will kindly get the draft
cashed and give him the proceeds. If
you can in any way procure him EN-
ployment I would be thankful. With
best respect, LUKE J. ELCOCK,
Mayor of Drogheda."
Together the mayor and his visitor
called at one of the banks, where the
draft was cashed. The young Irishman
took the money and profuse were his
thanks to the mayor of Butte and the
mayor of the Ireland village.

Horse and Cow Nuisance.

Missoula, Oct. 16-There is something
decidedly wrong about the system used
for the night herding of animals. 1t may
be that the work is too much for one
herder, or it is the wllful neglect of the
night herder that the residents Of the
south side are not relieved of the horse
and cow nuisance. 1t seems that the nui-
sance is getting worse instead of bet
ter, for hardly a night passes that some
one has not complaint to make. One
OF the property owners living on the
south side, and city officer, got up one
morning last week and found ID horses
ana three cows in his garden. 1t was a
beautiful garden, the flowers were in full
bloom and the vegetables had hardly
been taken out. When the horses were
all driven out it was found that the gar
den was bare. and not thing left in it.
10 say ne was warm under the collar
would be putting it mildly, and it is hoped
that the city fathers will do some thing
to stop the nuisance.

Coming in Slowly,

Missoula. Oct. 16.-Since the issuing
OF the tax notices County Treasurer
Higgins has received a little money,
something less than $500 having been
paid in. 1t is thought that the rea-
son Tor the SLOW paying of the taxes
is due to the fact that the supreme
court has decided that the county
treasurer has no right to collect the
special tax for schools that was voted
on this year. Treasurer Higgins has
written to Attorney General Nolan at
Helena to find out If he will be able
to collect any of the 6 mills that has
been placed on the list. The county
commissioners having made levy Of
8 mills for the sinking fund, the coun-
ty treasurer is unable to tell whether
to collect 5 mills or none. He expects
an answer in short time.

1t Is Duck Weather.

Missoula, Oct. 16.-The weather that
Missoula is enjoying at the present
time is decidedly duck weather. 1t
has rained steadily since daybreak and
has been the cause of a number of the
city sportsmen to take their guns, lock
up their offices and go. The most IA
vorite place so far spoken of is the
sloughs in the Grass valley and
Frenchtown districts. Among those
that have been very successful to-day
were Thomas Evans and Will Cave.

remembering all their friends. Other
successful hunters have returned and
report having had good luck.

EXTENSION OF THE 500
1t Is Reported That It Will Build
to Great Falls.
IT is MORE THAN A RUMOR
Washburn- The Line Would Be
Through Gilt Edge and
LeWlstown.

Great Falls. Oct. 16.-For many years
Great Falls has been living in the hope
that a second railway would build into
the city. Not that the Great Northern
is not capable of transacting all neces-
sary business, but the name of being a
one-railway town was a considerable
stigma. Great Falls people looked to
the Burlington with longing eyes, but
unsatisfied hearts. Now the second
railway longing has received new food
on which to feed. A we'll known citizen
has received letters from ex-senator w
d. Washburne of Minnesota asking
him to collect and forward data relat-
ing to the Judith basin and Great Falls.
The letter states that the information
Is desired in connection with contem-
plated extension OF the 500 road
through from Washburn, N. D.. to this
country. The probable line of the road
would be directly west, crossing the
Yellowstone river, entering Gilt Edge
and Lewistown and paralleling both
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific. If it took this route it would
undoubtedly come to this city.
Ex-senator Washburn is well known
as railroad builder, having built the
500 line and the Minneapolis & s..
Louis road, besides having gone 70
China and been successfully employed
there in railroad contracts. The fact
that he has been making inquiries
in this direction shows that the report
ed extension is more than a rumor, and
that general direction for the line of
the road has been decided upon. The

Judith, which is one of the most fertile
spots in Montana. nor can it do better
than come to Great Falls, where The
magnificent water power is bound to
assist in building up a large city.

special agent and who then entered the
Pinkerton detective agency and became

A New York special says it can be
stated on the very highest authority
that the unofficial announcement that
the Great Northern has been figuring
on the building of an air line between
st. Paul and the Canadian boundary
is entirely incorrect. The Great North
ern has not the remotest idea of build
Ing such line and attributes the report
to land spectators. The country re-

 With slight variation this has be5n the experience of other men who have built up colossal business enterprises. It is probable that not enc of them contemplated any specific goal and worked for that end. They were alb sorbed in their affairs One success led to another, and the obstacles which arose only called for greater efforts, closer application, larger expenditures of nervous force, and necessarily a neglect of the laws of health.

NO, IT WASN'T A DREAM.

About eight years ago prominent citizens of Phoenix predicted that within five years that city would em- brace a population of not less than 15,- coo. That prophetic vision was some what at fault, notwithstanding it has made creditable advancement in aI- most every respect. It now begins to look as though the dream was not all dream when the population was then less than 5000. The capital city is on the verge of extnding it's limits to a very considerable extent There are many advantages to be derived from such a movement which Tucson should not lose sight of. There are several additions that should be annexed with out delay. and it is not too early for our council to cnsider the proposition if we are to get the bensfit of a good rating in the next census report The Buell., Reicker and other additions are ripe fer city honors.

THE ONLY DISASTER.

The capture of a small American gun boat, with one officer and nine men on board, by the Philippine insurgents on the Orani river is chiefly important be- cause it is the first suggestion of ai de- feat which the American forces have suffered, either during the, present in- suIrectiOn or in the war with Spain about Cuba. This record is one that will hardly be matched by the expert ence of any other country in the world. It is exceedingly significant that in all the fights that have occurred around Manila, with the American lines wide ly extended and the insurgent Tagals foot-free to strike anywhere that they might find weak point, there has not been a singlei contest that has not re- suited in routing the rebels. With the valor and skill of the American sol diers and officers thus proved, there seems little reason to doubt that Otis. with his augmented forces and the ample time he has had during the rainy season to prepare fer aggressive action, will be able, as soon as field operations are practicable, to speedily put an end to organized opposition to rule in the islands.-Kansas City Star
