poets to issue sometime this fall an

Wells & Ellsworth, contractors and
architects, have submitted to the
trustees of the Kendall Presbyterian
church plans for the church building.

ing with a basement. The church
will be put up this summer.

Articles of incorporation of the
Montana Consolidated Copper COM
pany, incorporated under the laws
of Maine, were filed with Secretary
of State Yoder. The capital of the
company is $1O,OOOOOO. Macus L.

company and agent in this state.
Mining Engineer Mcleod has re-
turned to Butte from an inspection of
the properties of the Nancy Hanks
Mining and Milling company, near
Garnet. He reports splendid pro-
ment, and says the property gives
promise Of early production. While
the company is doing large amount
of work on several of it's claims by
means Of tunnels and drifts, leasers
on adjoining property are showing
UP magnificent veins of gold bearing
ore.
On the Gold Center claim, a frac-
ton lying between the Shamrock and
the Tiger, both of the latter belong
ing to the Nancy Hanks company.
Al Lowry has uncovered a surface
vein five feet wide, in which the
character of the ore is the same as
that found in the old Nancy Hanks
workings. Mr.. Lowry has taken out
between 200 and 800 tons Of ore,
which will run high in values. This
is an entirely new lead, and can be
traced through the Nancy Hanks
claims.
Dr. w. A. Moore and man
named Ashbury of Big Timber have
taken a working bond on some plac-

mediately. Mr.. Moore took an ex-
pert over to examine the ground and
reports that it is very encouraging.
They expect to install long hume

where Joe Wunderlin and the Buch-
anan brothers would pan from S. to
$40 day.
Tom Murphy was arrested and
fined $50 and costs and sent to Jail
for 80 days by Justice Kelly. 1t
seems as though a man named John
Finnegan was little under the
weather i'll the Rock saloon and
Murphy tried to tie him to chair
with a rope, but Finnegan got loose
and strolled to the bar and Murphy
tried to tie him to the rail. Gus Shil-
Ter, an old man, demonstrated with
Murphy about his conduct whereup-
on Murphy struck Shiller in the
mouth, causing the latter to loose
two Of his teeth. Sheriff Fisher left
with his prisoner Wednesday.
Murphy will have to wait one more
year before he will be able to cele
