Montana Mining company, running
both plants, and later on taking charge
Of the Montana-Chicago Gold Mining
company. Last summer he was ap-
pointed general manager of the Gold
Reef Mining company, having full
charge during his management much
underground work was done in the
mines. and today there is enough orc
blocked out to run this large plant
for many years to come. Mr.. Durell
is known as one of the best mining
men in the United States. He has
built some of the largest plants in the
country and has been offered many
very important positions during the
time he has been here. Fergus coun-

mining men. Mr.. and Mrs. Dure1l will

The Fourth of July committee held
their meeting last Friday and the sub
scription amounted to close to $500
and most of the money was paid out
to outsiders Although there was not
many people from Lewistown, there
were over 1000 people who enjoyed
the Fourth here in grand style.
A large number of people OF Gilt
Edge and Maginnis went out last Sun
day to the ice cave on the hill. The
cave is frozen all the time, and it is
a wonder to see it. In going in the
cave it is all solid ice, and no one
knows how deep it is. BY going In
the cave your watch will stop and you
have to make a mark on the ice so
that you can find your way out. Some
people are using the ice this summer
It is certainly worth any mans time
TO see the place.
