AT present, the only railroad to
the town is the old Montana line,
operated as branch OF the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway.
That company is building new main
line from Milestone, through Lewis
town and Great Falls to. Missoula,
by way of Sun River, the Cadotte
pass and the Big Blackfoot.
The Great Northern has surveyed
and now is condemning the right OF
way for branch of the system from
Mondak, on the eastern line OF Mon
tana, through Lewistown to a point
IS miles west on the Billings & Nor
thern railroad, which runs from Bill
ings to Great Falls. The construc-
ton and operation OF these two roads
through the territory OF which Lew
istown is the metropolis, can not fail
to greatly increase its population and
business"
Speaking OF his mining operations
i'll the district, Mr.. Breen said among
other things:
I'VE started the new lOO-ton cya-
ndle mill on the rumDerland mine on
May /, and its operation has been SO
successful in every way that we are
now building a second unit OF the
same size, which will be. ready to
start early in October. We are crush
ing the ore to quarter-inch mesh and
getting very satisfactory extraction.
The ore so far treated has aver
aged $40 a ton, or just about what
| figured it would when I took hold
of the property. My total expense
OF mining and milling is $3.25 ton
| expect to reduce this to $225 when
| get through with the dead work ]
am now doing.
"The old owner of the Cumberland
at one time shipped five cars of ore
from the 150-foot level that netted
$25,OOO Since l took over the prop
erty I have developed good body
of ore in this same shoot. am ex
perimenting with it to determine
whether it will be more economical to
ship it to the smelter or to treat it II

the ore was so base that it could not
be treated proftably in the stamp mill
with which the mine was equipped
In the upper workings, however, a
very large body of what was then
considered low grade ore, was left in
sight. and it is this ore which | am
now going after.
Under its old management, the
mine produced between 100000 and
S3,OOO0OO. The tailings from these
old properties average SS in value, and
| propose to utilize them as soon as
the enlargement OF my cyanide plant
Is completed. During the years in
which the mine was closed the farm
ers of the neighborhood have been
making good stakes out of these tail
ings with little home made cyanide
plants. One of the men who thus got
his start was Kendall. discoverer of
the famous mine of that name, at
Kendall. Mont am working force
of so men at present"

"Lewistown is one of the richest
cities in the United States on the

and assets total $4OOO,OOO, while its
population approximates only 1000.
1t is the center Of great farming,

Astronomical Scandals,

Has the solar system been sys-
tematically robbing every celestial Wis
itor that has come within touching"
distance of any OF its heavenly travel
ers or periodical visitors? Do our
planets hold up and rob every wander
er who strays within or near the giant
ring which Neptune describes about
the sun?
Indeed. it does look as though ours
was constituencies system before
which the systems of Wall street and
Europe pale as trivial. Garrett p.
Serviss. the astronomer, says that far
from the late lamented Halley's comet
hurting the earth. that the earth
robbed it of most of its tail and sent
it off to rudderless existence.
On the heels Of this scandal comes
authentic authority that Venus, when
she found Mr.. Halley's comet was
near her orbit, took off a large slice
of its territory. Mercury, whose
reputation for honesty is no better
than that of Venus for delicacy. tried
to get in on the big steal, but though
it pulled hard at the visitors rear ap-
pendage, failed to annex anything of
value
Comes now the big, burlv planet
Jupiter. who doubtless seeing the
wholesale graft about him, decided to
get into the game himself.
Consequently. when Beal's comet
entered his domain montl, ago he
annexed it bodily and has apparently
held it captive since Astronomers
are sweeping the heavens with their
finders" but the comet has seeming
ly disappeared.
There is chance that this comet
was made a part Of Jupiter's terra
hrma. Or that it has been temporarily
held captive as satalite or moon
Jupiter having already four moons
such Injustice and ostentatiousness
seems distinctly censurable
Grams. Neptune and Saturn, far
from our watcfful eyes. NAV have
committed unheard Of dcpredations
on every passer-by during countless
aeons.
There is a suspicion that scandal
| once attached to the asteroids and
that this swarm Of planetoids now
| circling the sun was once a comet
torn to bits by contending planets
pulling it in opposite directions.

while they may not be improved b,
