west into the Snake valley. They claim
that this latter if consummated would
cut off from Rawlins the Snake river
trade.

pie to send a delegation of their most
influential business men to Omaha to
endeavor to induce the Union Pacific

The supreme court today denied the
application of F. Augustus Heinze for
rehearing of the order made restraining
him from operating the Minnie Healy
mine at Butte, pending the appeal of
Miles Finlen and the Boston & Mon

as the bond is approved the injunc-

The Montana wool market is well
opened, and the prices are the best for
years. Last year the wool clip of the
state amounted to 100000 900 pounds in
round numbers. This year. owing to
the favorable winter, with small losses
and good lambing season, the clip will
be at least 10 per cent larger, and the
wool is of better quality than the aver
age. The average price for the last
years clip was between 121a cents and
1879 cents. This year hardly any wool
has been sold below 1872 cents, while
larger portion of the ieeces already
offered have been sold much above that
figure, some going as high as 173s cents.
There are plenty of buyers present
and the sales are likely to be large, al
though there is a tendency to hold for
higher prices.
Altogether the woolmen are feeling
jubilant. With better clips and higher
prices the receipts for Montana wool
this year promise to reach nearly the
S., 900 mark.
