Of wire, out Of which about 20 miles were
strung during the past year. Twelve
months ago less than 80 phones were
used by patrons Of the company, and
now the subscribers number over 200,
which fact indicates something of the
prosperity Of the community. In the
Anaconda exchange are engaged three
operators.
The Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany also operates a private telephone
line upon which the officials Of the
various departments communicate. This
line has also been extended to Silver
lake and to the new works in order that
the various branches Of the company
may he kept in close communication
with each otter and the executive Of

Is going on each day. The private line
connects with the mines Of Butte, with
the B., A. & p. railway offices and with
some OF the larger business firms of
the city.
The Anaconda Street Railway COM
pany has kept to the front in the way
Of making improvements. While but
little new track has been laid, much
work has been performed upon the
lines already laid. The road bed has
been ballasted, ne wheavy rails have
been put down, new equipment has been

short distance above the bottom of the
boat.
His anger knew no bounds when he
discovered that instead of a boat, he had
q catamaran, and the bottles he had
loosened his grip on had stopped only
when they struck the bottom.
However, but few accidents of that
kind have happened, hence Silver lake
has by no means a bad reputation among
sportsmen.
Another favorite resort Of the citizens
OF not only this city and county, but of
all the adjoining counties and neighbor-
ing towns, Is Twin lakes, located far up
in the mountains west of Anaconda, and
surrounded during the greater part OF
the year by snOw-capped hills. The
scenery here is far more beautiful than
that of any other place in this portion
of the state.
The banks of the lakes are covered
with grassy turf that slopes in most
places gradually to the mountain. The
latter are covered with luxuriant
growth of trees. The waters of the lakes
are alive with fish, and in the proper
season water fowl make it their home
1t being quite a distance from Ana
conda, as well as other points, the par
ties that visit it seldom go for a stay
of less than week. 1t is an ideal spot,
as will be gathered from the accom-
panying picture.
On the shores of Twin lakes nature is
encountered in all her solitary grandeur,
and the influence exerted is such that
one weeks stay there makes one want
to prolong it indefinitely
Camping places are plentiful, as there
is but very little underbrush in the tim
Der. AT several points about the lake
the mountains rise from the very edge
OF the water. 1t is an interesting sight
TO see green grass at the foot of the
hill and then to gaze up at the snow
Which is seldom if ever gone from the
peak.
During the warm months of the sum-
mer 1t is very rarely that one or more
camps of pleasure seekers can not be
found within short distance of the
lake.
A favorite picnic ground is the country
near Flint Creek falls. In the summer
time there is scarcely a Sunday that
one or more parties do not spend the
day in that vicinity.
Another interesting spot is the cave
on Lost creek. Every year it is explored
by the more daring, and the register in
the bowels of the earth is fast filling I'm.
The fact that it is a dangerous trim
adds more to the pleasure of making If.

bids fair to make Anaconda not only a
city of shelters, but also q mining
camp of no small Importance In Nom
tana, was the discovery of large body
of coal in Newcomb's Gulch, just north
Of the city limits and not more than
10 minutes walk from the passenger
station of the Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific railway.
A. vein measuring over four feet in
thickness has been disclosed and the
owners, Messrs. I. Rosenfeld, j. w.
Black and others expect to have the
product on the market soon after Janu-
airy 1. They have recently installed a
large hosting plant and are now pre-
pared to operate on an extensive scale
The coal deposits have every appear
ance Of being permanent and it would
not be surprising to see hundreds OF
men employed in mining black dia-
mOnds on the outskirts of Anaconda
within another year.
The product is of an excellent quality
and has been pronounced of the char
acter of camel coal.
The question of fuel has been one of
the most serious problems in past years,
1t having been necessary to ship 1t in
from other parts of the state and from
Wyoming to supply the needs OF the
smelters and the demands Of domestic
consumption. If the Anaconda deposits
prove to come up to expectations the
cost Of fuel will undoubtedly be mate-
rally lessened.
Extensive improvements have been
made by the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company in the way Of extension
of lines, natural result Of large and
increasing business.

has the knack of being able to tell a
bad actor when he sees one. Prior to
his election to the Office of police Judge

with the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pary in the smelters in this city. & He

Before his election to the mayoralty of
Anaconda, DR.. Henry NJ. Stephens served
his ward (the Second), as a member of
the city council. How we'll he performed
his duty may be judged from the fact
that he was elected to the Office of
mayor by an overwhelming majority. In
connection with his large private prac-
tice, DR.. Stephens served Deer Lodge
county in the capacity Of county physi-
clan for several years. In years gone by
as now he has done much to add to the
supremacy of Anaconda as one of the
leading cities of Montana.

Dennis O'Leary of the Sixth ward can
talk as loud and as long as any one, but
none are more ready to listen to the

student of national as we'll as municipal
legislat ton. Alderman O'Leary got his
start in life by peddling "hot tamales"
about the streets at all hours of the

relations with the republican party?
He is the presentative-elect of his
district in the Fifty-seventh congress.
and cannot be unseated prior TO March
4, 1908. He can, however, be omitted
from the house committee on ways
and means when the committee as
signments are made next December.
and he can fail of reelection as chair
man of the national republican con-
gressional committee. As the respon-
sible author of bill whose provisions
are in direct conflict with the plat
form of the republican party. as an
avowed enemy to the policy of pro-
lection to American labor and indus
try, is he entitled TO remain. ought he
be permitted TO remain as pseudo-re-

again be honored and trusted with
the craftsmanship of the national re-

cial kind of kindling, and it has been
demonstrated that fire engines can be

process is unique. The cobs arc first
crushed and then saturated with n
highly infiammable material composed
partly Of rosin. Then they are COM
pressed and afterward sawed into
