U. s. PLATs MODEL TOWNS.

Great Falls, Mont, Oct. VASTLY
unlike those of the usual townsite
are the plats arranged by the United
States reclamation service for the two
towns to be built upon the Fort Shaw
reservation under the direction Of En-
gineer 8. B.. Robbins after the compile
ton of the irrigation project for which
the surveys have been practically fin
ished and upon which actual construc-
ton work will start next spring.
Two model townsites will be laid
out upon the large tract Of land to
be reclaimed, one of them to be known
as Fort Shaw, the limits Of which will
touch the Fort Shaw school lines up
on one side, and the other to be known
as Simms. The two towns will be
located six miles apart and will be
laid out upon plan which has been
generally adopted by the reclamation

service for all towns to be built upon
the lands of the various irrigation pro-
jects of the west.
A tract of land containing 100 acres
will be devoted to each of these town
sites and they will be arranged in a
manner which has been deemed most
applicable to farming community.
The townsite is laid out in a perfect
square, In the center of which Is
tract of land containing about 2h
acres, the dimensions being 356 feet
by 300 feet, and which will be used for
the location of the village school. This
tract will be surrounded upon all four
sides by streets 60 feet In width and
from this center tract will radiate the
principle streets of the town. Eight
streets will extend out from the school
lot to the boundaries of the townsite
one extending straight out from each
corner of the school lot to the corners
OF the townsite with 40 feet roads
extending out half way between these
angling roads. about midway be-
tween the school house and the boun-
Diary will be 40 feet cross streets.
The plat is SO arranged that there
Will be few alleys, only six being pro.
vided for in the entire townsite.
Exclusive of the school lot the town.
site will contain 100 lots, ranging in
size from business lots 36x140 feet
In dimensions to large lots upon the
outskirts and containing 5,462 acres
of land.
The business lots, "a in number, will
all be located upon one street, extend
Ing east from the school house. These
lots will be the only lots sold for BUSH
ness purposes In the townsite. The
other lots will vary in size and shape.
according to their location, the small
est being at the intersection of the
streets near the school house, con-
tanning about one-third Of an acre.
The farther from he center the larger
will be the lots, and some of those on
the extereme outskirts will contain
5,462 acres.
In laying out one of these townsites.
the reclamation service believes that
1t will be used as settlement of
farmers who will live in the village
and be enabled to make daily trips to
their farms, which, according to the
plan of the service with q village in
the center of each township, cannot be
more than three miles distant
According to the system adopted by
the service, these lots will not held
at set price, but will be sold at auc-
ton to the highest bidder. It is i'm
probable that any of these lots will be
offered for sale by Engineer Robbins
for at least a year, or until after the
completion Of the canal system, al
though lots may be rented in the inter-
val.
The headquarters buildings of the
engineering corps will be constructed
near the center Of the townsite, only
one building to the lot, and may, after
they are of more use to the serviye,
be sold to the purchaser of the lot or
removed to other lots or farms. The
buildings will be constructed with this
end in view and will be arranged SO
they may be moved without damage.
The interior partitions will be light,
temporary affairs, SO that they may be
removed by the purchaser and the in
terror re-arranged to suit his desires.

REPORTS ON MAJESTIC.
Managing Director Issues a Letter to
the Shareholders.

In letter to the shareholders of the
Majestic Copper company. E. E. Aber-
crombie. managing director, who was
at the mines a few weeks ago. says:
During my absence on a visit to your
properties a letter was published in one
of the financial papers of Boston in which
the writer evidently endeavored to under
rate the value of Majestic and thereby
doubtless caused more or less uneasiness
among those who had invested their
funds in this property The writer of
that article did not make an examination
of your properties and was, therefore, in
no position to pass an opinion. He also
severely criticised the smelter which is
one of the assets of the company, and
desire to say that on my last visit l had
one of the best smelter men in the west
make a thorough examination of the
smelter and he reported on it very favor
ably.
1.-THE conditions at your properties are
Conner shaft. as we have previously told
you, a good body of lead-silver ore is eX-
posed at water level. and in cutting out
for the station pump punches of copper
were discovered, showing assays as high
as 81 per cent, but no development work
can be done until the water is pumped
out. At the o. K, where the rich body
of high-grade copper ore was found under
a previous management, three shifts of
men are at work on development with
every indication of success, as, when
left, the face of the drift was in good
ore. During my visit this time l made a
contract to ship copper ore from the Old
Hickory.
1.-THE story having been circulated that
your company would default on interest
on their bonds due Oct of this year
desire to say to you on behalf of the
board that the money with which to pay
these coupons is in hand; the coupons will
be paid promptly through the Aetna Ma
tional bank of Hartford, Conn"

NEW YORK CONDITIONS.

Manager NJ ]. McGin of the New York
Bonanza. who was in the city yesterday
10 attend the regular monthly meeting of
the directors, spoke most encOuragingly
of conditions al the mine. More ore is
now exposed on the levels being operated
than has been seen in the mine for \
lcng time and, while no effort is being
made TO mine il, other than as il comes
IN the regular course of development he
promises that enough will be shipped to
make short shrift of the operating eX-
pense account. In the near future he will
have the ground opened up in a manner
that will permit of profitable stopping at
several points and he promises that the
proposition will then be heard from in an
even more agreeable manner TO the share
holders.
Between now and the next monthly
meeting he expects TO market a couple
o. cOnsignmentS of ore that will con-
tinue to keep the wolf from the door and
give no one a chance TO suspect that
another assessment will be called for
Work is now being prosecuted in both
directions on the 740 level and, while the
water has not yet made il possible to
return 10 work on the S50-fOOt level he
reports that it is about eighty-five feet
teiow the $40 and that it will likely not
be long till the lowest level in the mine
can be reached

concerned, but just now there is no incen-

Manager II. S. Joseph of the Carisa
left for a short business trip to Los An
geles Monday night.
Three carloads of ore from Stockton
two from Bingham, two from Alta and
three from Nevada were reported at the
Pioneer sampler yesterday.
George E. Gum. general manager of the
Cumberland-E1y company'S properties
concluded his business on this end of the
line and pulled out for camp again last
night.
Five cars of ore from Nevada, four
from Tintic, two from Bingham, two
from California, one from Idaho and one
from Colorado were released from the
Taylor & BruntOn sampler yesterday
morning.
Albert Richter, the mining engineer
has just returned from a long pilgrim
age into Idaho camps, where he has been
on professional business. He stated yes
terday that there was nothing that he
could say at the present time for publ
cation.
Word from Tintic is to the effect that
the West Mammoth group. which is be-
ing operated under bond and lease by
Captain T. f. Singiser, is looking good,
and the expectation at camp is that a
large ore body will be encountered in a
short time.
The recently organized Lakeside Cop

hauling steadily to the railroad from
surface workings and the first car will
likely be at the samplers by the end of
the present week.
