Railroads Tied Up.

Salt Lake City, Jnue 5.-Butte and
Helena, Mont, were practically cut
off from the outside world this morn
ing. Rain is still falling heavily
throughout that part of Montana and
traffic on railroads, already democrat
lied by washouts, following weeks of
almost continuous rain, will be tied
up for several days. Every little trout
stream and brook in central Montana
is a raging torrent, while Big Hole,
Clark's Forks and Missouri rivers are
twice and three times their usual
width and overlooking lowlands,
threaten railroad bridges and causing
serious washouts at dozens of places.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern tracks are washed out or
overfowed in several places east and
west of Helena, and the Oregon Short
Line is tied upby threatened destruc-
ton of a bridge across the Big Hole
river, one mile and half north of
Dillon, Mont. All telegraph wires are
down. The postal had wire into
Butte long enough this morning to
learn that the power house was
threatened by floods and as the wire
failed an hour later it is supposed
the power house had been flooded
and Butte is without light or power.

Rivers Bank Full,

Missoula, Mont, June 5.-At noon
the flood situation in western Mon
tana was more serious than since the
30-day rain began. The rainfall for
the last "a hours was the heaviest in
the month and streams are at danger
point. The Moulen dam above Butte
burst this morning and the river at
Garrison, rs miles east of Missoula,
has raised four feet. This rush of
water is expected at Missoula this af-
ternoon Two large dams between
Garrison and Missoula, including the
power dam of Senator w. A. Clark,
are threatened with destruction. Miles
of new roadbed on the st. Paul road
east of here were swept away and it
will probably be weeks before the
damage to the Northern Pacific is re-
paired. The Blackfoot river is at
flood stage and there is danger of the
destruction of the big dam of the
Blackfoot Milling Company at Bon
ner, which contains about sixty mil
lion feet of logs. Ten thousand men
are fighting for the railroads against
the waters but the water is gaining

Across the street-but, on second
thought, you could not see across the
street in that particular section of
Idaho on that particular day, when
the wind began to blow and the dust
storm arose looked for signs of
fright or woe among the section of
the inhabitants that had under OBJ
servation at that time, but nothing
happened. They merely closed the
windows in an absent-minded way
and kept right on with their several
occupations, as If nothing was hap
pening outside.
You could not see three feet ahead
of you. For just common dust the

Every time the wind blows 1t merely

have blown over on your land to
make up the extra number of acres.

RAIN STOPS WORK.
Present Wet Season Necessitates Sus-
pension of Work in the Mines
in the Lost River Country.

Jim Simmons, who is interested
with Murphy & Bartlett, H. L. Can
non and the c C. Moore Real Estate
company, in a number of mining
properties in the Little Lost river
country, arrived in the city yester-
day, and will remain here until the
present rains cease.
Driven out by rain" is the way
Mr.. Simmons expresses the reason
for his present visit. There has been
a continual downpour for the past
few weeks in the Lost river country
with the result that the tunnels have
been flooded and all work forced
to be suspended.
The claims in which Messrs. Sim
mons, Murphy & Bartlett, Cannon
and Moore are interested, IA in num-
Der, are situated on Badger creek.
Two of the claims are being worked
with most gratifying results, one of
them lying next to the Rexburg mine
has developed a ledge of silver which
runs $65 to the ton, at depth of
IA feet. The other claim has dis
closed ledge of silver and lead,
some of which runs 60 ounces of sill
yer to the ton.
The mineral belt in which these
claims are located, runs from Butte
and ehst of Mackay through the hills
to near HALEY. 1t is believed to
be one of the richest In the inter-
mountain region. Two mines, includ-
Ing the Daisy Black are now shipping
ore. According to Mr.. Simmons and
Mr.. Murphy, If two per cent of the
prospecting done in the state of Me-
vada were turned to the Lost river
country 1t would develop one of the
richest regions of today.-Ex.
