N0.2BANDDANCE:
Band Boys Of Klein Will Give An
other Of Their Popular Dances
Saturday.

The Klein Band has made all
preparations for another of their
popular dances at No. 2 Camp to-
morrow Saturday evening. All
of the dances given by the boys so
far have been a success, and from
indications the present one is not
going to prove an exception, in fact
they are striving to make it just a
little bit better than the previous
dances if such a thing is possible.
The proceeds Of the dance will go
toward the band. Prof. Wilkinson's
six-piece orchestra will furnish the
music, and the ladies of Klein will
serve ice cream and cake. Every
body is invited to attend and a
good time is promised.
The splendid boosting spirit
shown by the Klein camp is certain
ly to be admired and commended.
II there are any knockers" in the
camp they have not yet been dis
covered, and they will not be given
an opportunity to develope. They
have the best band in the world and
the best base ball team in the world
and anyone meeting a resident of
Klein is soon acquainted with these
| facts.

NQ,0QQM pA1R0lL THIS h0hTh|
Roundup Has the Largest Payroll Of
It's History This Month-Will
Soon Be 100000

The payroll of the Roundup
mines for this month amounts to
close to $4,000, this being the
largest amount ever paid out to the
miners of this field in any one
month before. The amounts con-
tributed by the various mines were
as follows: No. l. $1,000; No. 2,
$37, 900; No. 3, $4,000; No. A,
$4,000. The average daily output
Of the No. 2 mine was 1430 tons,
and of No. 3, 1900 tons. The total
daily production of all the mines is
now close to $500 tons.
While this month holds the rec
ord in the size Of the payroll it will
not have this honor very long. No.
2's output has been reduced one
third the past two weeks to allow
for a number of improvements, and
it will not be until about July lst
that this mine will resume it's nor
NAL production. The improve
ments are along the plan for the
ultimate identification of the mine,
which will be made in the next
six or eight months, and consists
of various labor saving devices.
Excavations are under way for the
installation Of Holmes lift and
new runways, which will provide
for the distribution in the mine Of
empty cars by force Of gravity,
thereby greatly facilitating opera
tions. Car-pushers are also being
put in whereby loaded cars are
propelled to the main shaft and
onto the cage automatically. When
the new improvements are once in
operation the output can be in
creased to $500 or 5000 tons.
As soon as the Roundup coal
mines will again be working to
their full capacity, which will
probably be in a few months, the
payroll will jump to 100000.
The mine of the Davis Coal COM
pany is still undergoing develop
ment, about 100 tons of coal
being taken out daily while this
work is under way. With this mine
in the producing stage the payroll
will no doubt reach the $125,OO0
mark.

COMMITTEE BUSY
Fourth Of July Committee Meets
With Success in Raising
Funds.

The governing committee of the
Fourth OF July celebration which is
to be held in Roundup, has been
busy this week with subscription
list to raise funds to defray the cost
incidental to making the eagle
scream in the style Roundup is ac-
customed to. By noon today about
5000 had been raised the aim of the
committee being to secure at least
$1,000. No trouble is anticipated
in securing the remaining $500,
altho a good many of the donations
are smaller than what they have
been the past years.
Until the canvas of the business
men has been completed and the
committee finds out the exact
amount on which they can work,
nothing definite will be done in ar
ranging a program. However, it is
expected that by next week a pro-
gram will be partially outlined and
announcements made of what the
celebration will consist.

SCHOOL MATTERS
Clerk Thompson Makes Statement
Regarding Tribune Article.

In connection with the article
which appeared in the Roundup
Tribune last week relative to the
new school building, Carl n.
Thompson, clerk of the school board
made the following statement in an
interview with The Record:
Il have not had the time to re
ply, at length to the reflection
cast on the board of trustees in
general and the school clerk in
particular in the article which ap-
peared in last weeks issue of the
Tribune. ! wish to have the pub
lie understand that the board of
trustees are the servants of the pub
lie, and everybody is entitled to
know all that is going on at its de-
liberations. The board has
never screened anything from
the people and does not
intend to do so. 1t is the best
authority as to the facts of the
building of the school house, the
issuance of the school bonds, and
anything pertaining to the workings
OF the board, and they stand ready
and willing at any time to tell those
interested anything relative to such
matters. In fairness to me and the
board, l desire that the public
make their inquiries of one in touch
with affairs, and not someone that
is willing to give his opinions, pre-
sumably with authority, on matters
of which they know nothing"

PUBLICITY
FOR ROUNDUP
Roundup to Be Given Considerable
Space in Next Book on
Montana.

The people of Roundup will be
pleased to learn that this city will
be given prominent place in the
forthcoming edition of the Montana
book which is now being prepared
by the publicity department of the
Bureau Of Agriculture, Labor and
Industry. In last years edition of
this book-the first to be gotten
out-Roundup and this section of
the Musselshell valley was entirely
omitted, and as we have always
been rather proud of our wonderful
achievements in such remarkably
short time, we felt hurt more or lees
to be ignored in that fashion.
However, the present Montana
book will be on great deal more
pretentious scale and it will pro-
badly prove to Roundup's advant-
age that she was overlooked last
year. The edition will not only be
larger in size but twice as many
copies will be printed.
Watson Boyle, who is connected
with the publicity department was
in the city several days the first Of
the week securing data, material
and photographs for the Roundup
writeup. He was greatly impressed
with our city and the wonderful re-
sources OF the country, and expressed
surprise that such a town could
have been overlooked in the last
edition of the Montana book.

TO COMPLETE
COAL SURVEY
Geological Survey to Make Final
Report on Bull Mountain
Coal Field.

For the purpose of reviewing the
earlier work of the geological survey
in the coal fields south and east OF
Roundup and for completing the
task in certain small sections, R.
w. Richards and G. T. Lupton, con-
nected with that department Of the
government, are in Bull Mountain
country now, having arrived from
Washington last week.
A map prepared by the geological
survey shows that the field embraces
an immense area in the northern
part of Yellowstone county being
greater in extent than is popularity
supposed, for several townships are
included, the district extending
east and west practically across the
northern part of the county from
township north.
At the present time no railroad
penetrates this great field, the only
line touching it being that Of the
Milwaukee, which ha s a short
branch which crosses the Mussel-
shell river at Roundup, which en-
ters the field for distance Of about
five miles on the Yellowstone coun-
ty side of the river and the main
line Of which skirts the field from
Milestone to Roundup, a distance Of
35 miles.
It is said by the surveyors that
this coal is of quality practically
the same as that found at Bear
creek and that it is of the same age.
1t ranges in depth from outcroppings
at the surface to 1000 feet with
veins IA inches to several feet in
thickness.
A large portion of the land is still
held by the government while the
alternate sections are owned by the
Northern Pacific Railway company.
The field is an immense one and it's
worth will be more forcibly realized
with increased activities in railroad
buildings. It is now almost certain
that at least two other roads will
tap this field within the next year
, or SO.
Preliminary reports on the field
have been published by the geolog-
ical survey and an added report on
the eastern portion will be available
next fall with the final repor forth
coming in the near future.

Mr.. Carriers Report Favorable

7. Lane Carter, q well known mining
engineer of wide experience in the Trans
vaal and in south American mines. visit
ed Eureka the latter part Of June and
remained here for two weeks. The pur
pose OF his visit was to make an exami-
nation OF the properties OF the Farmers
Mining Company and report on the
progress Of the new mill.
Mr.. Carter's report shows that he was
very favorably impressed with the min.
ing outlook In Eureka. and expressed the
opinion that Eureka was . district that
had been overlooked by mining in
vestors and that this section would soon
regain It's position as n Of the greatest
mining camps OF the West.

Work Stopped Temporarily

Owing to a misunderstanding of ar.
engagements between the Chicago and
Salt Lake banks handling the account
Of the Farmers Mining Company of Eu.
reka, the money for the Last pay day
did not arrive On time. and as the tele-
graph line has not been working out Of
here since then. the management here has
decided to stop work on the mill for a
few days. or until the proper financial
arrangements can be perfected. Work
will probably be resumed Monday.
This emphasizes forcibly the neces.
sity for a properly conducted bank in
Eureka; aud the poor service the West
ern Union Telegraph Company has
been furnishing this town for the past
few months is meeting with general
condemnation. Through the careless
manipulation of the switch board at
Palisade, this point has of late often
been shut off from Geographic com.
munication with the outside world,
which is most annoying to those having
to depend upon its service.

TYPO PROPERTY TO RESUME
Famous Two G Mine Of Nye
County to Be Unwatered in
Near Future

According to reliable information,
the unwatering Of the Two G property
at Typo will soon be commenced. This

is his intention to have the property in
shape for Immediate shipments as soon
as the road has been completed.
For a number Of years the Two G

properties Of the State and was consider
ed the largest producer of lead.silver
ores, outside of the famous Richmond

County, in Nevada.
During the boom in southern Nevada
several years ago, this estate, with q
number Of others, was taken over by
the Bernheimer interests and over 31.-
600. 900 was expended in installing heavy
machinery for unwatering purposes and
in retimbering the shaft and lower
workings. This heavy expenditure was
not made until the new owners had
been given every assurance by the of.
icials Of the Tonopah and Goldfield
railroad that an extension to Typo would
be built. 1t was about this time that the
panic came on and the building of the
road had to be abandoned and the prop.
erty was again closed down.

became identified with "Borax" Smith
