every citizen Of Anaconda. was the gift
to te city of one of the most valuable
pieces of property within the corporate
limits. for public park purposes.
The donation was made by the Ana
cOnda Copper Mining company. The
property in question Is the unimproved
block opposite the Margaret theater,
right in the heart of the city. The gift
supplies a long felt want and when the
ground is improved it will add much
to the beauty of the town and the
pleasure of it's inhabitants.
The citizens have enjoyed no such
privileges in the past and many have
expressed their appreciation of the gen.
erous and public spiritedness displayed
by the A. G. M. Co. by Offering to do
nate labor and money towards the per-
manent improvement Of the park; thus
1t will be seen that the city has come
into possession of a valuable pleasure
spot. free of cost, and the Indications
are that the expense of identifying it
will only be slight to the municipality.
1t is the plan of the city authorities
to arrange to start work upon the
ground in the spring as early as the
weather will permit. The city en-
gineer will draw up the plans for the
laying out of walks, beds for flowers,
planting of trees, putting in of foun-
tains, etc, at an early date.

in a loss to the purchaser. The quality
