old time resilient OF that Ilace, Frank

spring boards to more conveniently do
the work and when the tree was ready
to fall both leaped to the ground. The

though, was not so fortunate, for he
stumbled as he struck the ground and

Many New Companies Formed
To Sink Wells.
ACTIVITY INCREASES.
The Drilling Operations at KintIa Lake
Progressing Rapidly Down Nearly
900 feet-Prospects Favorable.

It was thc1ght last summer. when the
many and varied rumors of the durabil
ity of the oil lands in the Kintla lake
country first assumed a tangible shape,
that when winter set il the interest in
oil would abate until next spring, but, on
the contrary al the present time. the en-
thusiasm is decidedly on the increase in
stead of decreasing, as was expected.
During the last few weeks two large
companies have been organized with the
sole purpose in view Of drilling for Gil
just as soon as the weather viii i.Grmit.
One of the companies is the United States
Fuel Oil, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and tAe
other, the Northern Montana Oil Com
pany, will sink wells in the vicinity Of
Bowman lake, eth and west of the
properties owned by the Butte Oil Com
pany.
At the same time there other compa-
MES in process of formation which will
be incorporated in a short time. One Of
the new companies is compose of
wealthy and prominent men of Nine
sofa, who are, according to reports, much
interested in the development of tile oil
fields.
The majority of the companies were Or
ganized by residents of this city, and
through the sale of stock there are but
few people in Kalispell who have no inter
est in the successful outcome of the work
What stock has been placed on the mar
ket has found ready takers, and mu:h
more could be disposed Of. Outside Of
the city tE-oughout the county the
interest is fully as keen.
At the present time the operations oc
the Butte Oil Company have progressed in
a manner decidedly satisfactory to tn J
men competing it. The drill is doWa
to a depth of nearly 600 feet, and from
now on more rapid progress will be made
AS the depth increases the size of the
drill used decreases, and as the power re-
mains the same much more work will
be done. During the past two weeks
about 20 feet per day was drilled, but
after Monday. the shaft will be sunk at
rate of from Is to 80 feet per day.
The other con- anies will also erect der
ricks for drilling purposes as soon as
practicable. and next summer that por-
ton of the county containing the oil fields
will be dotted with small camps of work.

expected to set in for the oil fields in

WASHING OF DIRTY LINEN.
Official Dispatches Anent Spion kop
Made Public

Made Public.
london. April 1S.-All the official
dispatches referring to the defeat sus-
tanned by the British troops under
General Butler at Spion Kop. Natal.
Jan. "a, 1906, were made public during
the day. Those hitherto unpublished
only emphasize how hopelessly mud
died were the preparations for that en-
gagement.
The controversy between General
Butler and Sir Charles Warren was
proved to be even more bitter than
previously hinted at and a new ex-
tract from one Of Lord Roberts dis
patches brings additional censure upon
General Butler. Lord Roberts declares
that General Buffers endeavor to put
responsibility for the defeat on Gen.
eral Warren was not justifiable. Rob-
erts holds that 1t was Buffers duty tc
intervene when he saw things We're go
ing wrong. This remark was caused
by dispatch from Butler in which he
says:
II saw no attempt on the part OF
Warren to either grapple with the sit
uation or command his force himself
We lost our chance by Warren's slow
ness. He seems 10 me to be a man
who can do well what he can do him
self, but who cannot command. l can
never employ him again on an inde-
pendent command. | ought to have as
lumed command myself when | saw
Things We're not going we'll | blame
myself now for not doing so.
Butler explains that he failed TO su-
norsede Warren because ii might have
discredited the latter with the troops
which was an especially serious mat
ter as if Butler had been shot Warren
would have succeeded to the supreme
command.
The question Of the responsibility
for the actual retreat from Spion kop
is shrouded in a mass of disorder
