Some OF the buildings already erect

ru. The Owner. y
Behind all this development and in
dustry is H. l.. Frank of Butte, who
opened the quarry extensively for the
erection of the state capitol at Hell
ena. Since that time it has never
been closed, running much of the
umes for the business integrity Of
Mr.. Frank that although the capitol
building was put up at a loss CT over
$1,000 not a stone went into the
building which was in the least de-
gree inferior. He more than lived
up to every condition of the contract.
With the managers and men he is
very popular, making no unreasonable
demands SO common in large enter
prises. His men are as independent
as their employer. They trade and
board where their money will go the
farthest. No pressure direct or in
direct is brought to bear during cleo
tons.
When the citizens Of Columbus
wished to organize a bank Mr.. Frank
generously came to their aid and
while he became the heaviest stock
holder, modestly declined to be an
officer in the institution.
His generosity and straightforward
business methods have won for him
the highest place with all the people
in this section of the state.

oUTcAsT CRIES..
Several Hundred Guaranteed Near
Havre-Driven from Canada.

Havre, Mont, Oct. 21.-Two hun.
dred Cree Indians are quarantined
three miles from the city to prevent a
spread Of the smallpox epidemic.
Eighteen pronounced cases are in the
camp and more are developing. The
Crees were driven ever the line by
the Canadian authorities and Major
Monteath of the Blackfoot reserva-
ton turned them off that section.
They arrived within sight of Havre
and were Intercepted by authorities
and put under quarantine. The county
will be obliged to feed them for the
next six weeks or two months.
International complications may
again arise between the government
and Canada, as the kings line officers
knew when they drove the Indians
back this way that many were SUI
fering with the disease and the whole
band had been exposed. 1

ufactured into grindstones which was
net suitable. The managers had yet
to learn the different qualities Of
stone and the needs of their custo-
mers. Now any grade of grindstones
can be ordered that may desired.
Tombstones.
Thus far in the history Of the quarry
but few tombstones have been man
ufactured. 1t requires an actual COM
p%arison, side by side, to convince peo-
pie that Columbus sandstone is SUI
perior in body, more durable and
much more beautiful than marble or
granite imported at a much greater
cost. After such a comparison only
was the correspondent convinced that
this stone would hold it's polish when
granite had given way to the action
of frost and rain. The grain run
ming through the stone like layers
of growth in timber relieves the bare
sandstone effectc making a most pleas
ing appearance at close view.
Passing the hand over the polished
surface is like rubbing marble or
glass. This density of texture is a
most valuable quality. In cities where
a shower of SCOT is constantly fall
ing, rough surfaces become streaked
by collections Of 500 and action Of
water. The elements disintegrate
faster, also, and alkalies injure the
foundations. This density enables
the stone cutters to carve flowers,

Livingston, Oct. 21.-Lew Miller,
who is believed to be the ringleader
CT a gang of cattle thieves operating
in the upper Yellowstone valley, has
been arrested by Sheriff Beley on a
charge of cattle stealing.
Miller was known to be in hiding
in the timber around Trail creek, and
a warrant for his arrest on a charge
of misdemeanor was issued, the pen
atty being only $50. The ruse work
ed well, for Miller hearing of the
charge and the light penalty, came
in and gave himself up. When the
case came up for hearing the charge
was changed from that of misdemean-

Ter was up against it. He was bound
over to the district court and his
bond fixed at $4,000.

Arkansas Mob Overpowers Officers
and Wrecks Southern Vengeance
on Its Victim.

Forest City, Ark, Oct. 21.-Chas.
Young, a negro charged with assault
ing and afterward numbering Mrs.
Ed. Lewis, a white woman, was burn
ed last night by a mob of Infatuated
citizens of this county.
The sheriff used every effort
against this extreme measure. He
had t%elephoned Judge Hutton, who
had promised to come and give imme-
date trial to the negro, and the lead
ers of the mob had given the sheriff
positive pledges that. they would
await the trial and take no violent
measures.
About $3.50 o'clock last night the
mob marched to the Jail and demand
ed the keys. Deputy, Sheriff Murphy
undertook to communicate with Sher-
if Williams, whereupon the men,
bers of the mob took the cell keys
from Murphy, breaking in the Jail
doors with sledge hammers, dragged
the prisoner from his cell.

the meantime but his protests were
not needed.
The mol took the negro to a point
about half a mile east of town, bound
him to a stake, piled wood around
him and set fire to it. The negro beg
ged piteously for his life, but the
mob turned a deaf ear to his appeals.
In a short time the flames leaped
up and the negro expired in the pres
ence of the several hundred e
After Young had been put to death
the mob started in quest Of another
negro, alleged to have been implicat-
ed in the killing of Mrs. Lewis.
At midnight he had not been
found. and the probabilities are that
he will escape the horrible fate of
Young. The mob, however, is de-
termined, and if the nan can be
found there is little doubt that the
scenes just enacted will be repeated.
These who witnessed the burning
do not seem to have been in the
least affected by the terrible scenes
| While there is a very strong senti-
ment against the work done by the
mob, it is not likely to take the form
of active, effective opposition.
No blame is attached to the sheriff
and other officers, as they were abso-
lutely powerless in the hands of the
mob. the members Of which were
fully resolved to carry out their pur-
pose at any cost.

HOT WEATHER NEAR PHOENIX
A Woman Tells Why She Turned the
Hose on Her Feet.

a Phoenix gentleman who recently
returned from California relates an
incident that occurred to him which
may be OF benefit to Phoenix women
who cannot go to- the coast, but who
desire to avoid the effects of the eX-
cessive heat as much as possible.
The gentleman in question is an ex-
freely modest married man, and it
was only an Overwhelming curiosity
that helped him into the secret about
to be impaired.
On the way home he occupied a
seat toward the real Of the coach,
and a lady, who also had a ticket
for Phoenix. sat opposite him in one
seat ahead. He noticed that the fur
Their they travelled the more uneasy
the lady became. First, she tried
tanning herself vigorously, but finally
gave that up in despair AMI resorted
to her handkerchief, with which she
necessarily mopped her face, renoV-
ing perspiration. paint, complexion
and everything else that was not roos-
ed in the cuticle.
Just before reaching Maricopa the
lady squirmed around a great deal,
looked out of the corner OF her eyes
to see if anyone was watching land
there a but she didn't know it)
then, pulling off her shoes, she re-
moved her stockings, turned them
inside out and put them on again.
BY this time the modest Phoenix
man was mostly eyes, and what
wasn't eyes was curiosity. He felt
that he had to have an explanation OF
| the woman's conduct, and there was
no one who could give it but the wo-
man herself. He approached her'

that he seldom took the liberty OF

and then said: "You see am gong

hotter every mile for the last three

that the finest woIN can be delivered
in any city with railroad accommo-
dations without d blemish.
The plant is very extensive, occupy
ing several acres. With the stone
in the yard it represents an invest
ment of about S15O,C00. The build
ings are durable structures with
stone foundations, built to last a life
time. The machinery includes all the
latest and most improved tools for
cutting, saving and carving, consist
ing of steam drills, steam derricks,
saws, planners, rubbing beds, grind
stone machines, hydraulics, etc.
Everything is modern. Pillars and
arches, ornamental designs and elab-
crate carvings can be turned out with
as much ease, accuracy and rapidity
as in any quarry in the country.
There are two lodges suitable for
building; the buff and the silver gray.
The latter is taken out about fifty
feet below the surface, which makes
it mere expensive than surface rock.
In beauty and texture, however, it
cannot be compared with the,former.
1t is uniform in color, so that one
standing in the yards with stone piled
high in every direction cannot de-
tect a single stone off color. Uncev-
ering this ledge is the expensive fea-
ture CT the work. 1t is accomplished
by a hydraulic, similar to those used
in placer mines. All of the imperfect
stone is sold to the railway company
for r%ip-rapping.

promoters. The building public, too,
are finding out that the western
stone is as beautiful and more dura-
BILE than any imported stone, besides
being cheaper and more accessible.
The quarry is located en- a short
spur CT the Northern Pacific railway
only a mile north of Columbus. The
trains run into the yards so that the
stone can be loaded directly onto
the cars with no danger of breakage.
The careful handling Of carved
stone is itself a trade. One man
gives his entire attention to this, so

ping Are Unsurpassed.

Very few people know that the
best equipped sandstone quarry be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast
is at Columbus, Montana, or that the
famous stone at Berea, Ohio, has at
last found an equal, if not a superior.
The quarry is yet new, dating it's his
tory to the last decade, but every
year is bringing cut the valuable quail

them stand out in bold relief. Tne
work is easily done, durable when
completed, and not at all apt to chip
in shipping. 1t holds a tool finish
for years. One of the early tests of
the stone shows this quality forcibly.
In the floor of a livery stable in Co
lumbus it had been laid for a fancy
entrance. After years ct scraping
and grating by horses, vehicles and
pedestrians this stone still shows, the
tool marks. Probably no severer test
could be made.
A very marked change of public
opinion has come about during the
last few years in regard to shipping
building stone from eastern states
for buildings. Architects Cf taste
now agree that no material harmon
ICES with the landscape so we'll as
native rock. A log cabin looks bet
ter in the lumber camp than Mexican
onyx. In the west nothing is in bet
ter taste for the most elaborate build
ings than western stone.
Used by the Government.
The government architects realize
this and in government buildings use
native material where it can be pro-
cured.
Before the government would &C
cept this stone for the federal build
ing in Helena careful tests were made
for iron and it's ability to withstand
pressure. The result car be seen in
the Office at Columbus, where a let
ter is on file which shows that it is
comparatively free from iron and will
withstand a pressure equal to granite.
In these respects it has no superior
in any quarry in the world.
