For the first time since the earth
quake Of last summer the Milwaukee
railroad is running it's trains through
the tunnel near Deer. Park which
was damaged by the quake. At that
time the tunnel caved in. A circle
bridge and loop was built around the
tunnel to meet the emergency. The
earthquake occurred June q and IN
til the loop around the tunnel was
built the trains were detOured over
the Northern Pacific. However, since
then, they have operated around the
loop until three-mOnths' work of re-
rapiing the tunnel could be finished.

TN VIEW Of the discussion, or con-
trOversy, which has been INDUCED
- in in the press of the state during
the past year regarding the popular
fiction of the golden spike" driven
by Henry Willard, Gen. u. S. Grant
and others at the completion Of the
Northern Pacific at Gold Greek in
1888, George w. Carlton Of Deer
Lodge, who was present at the spike
driving, has presented to the library
of the Montana Historical society
one Of the two spikes used in this
ceremony.
The spike is a common iron rail-
road spike, unmarried by rust or
wear, and about it is twisted a piece
of iron telegraph wire Of the kind
universally used at that early stage
of railroad development.
Mr.. Carlton, in a letter to David
Hilger, librarian Of the historical IL
brary, states that this was a part OF
the telegraph wire leading from the
track to a temporary telegraph sta
ton nearby, through which was re-
corded and transmitted to the east
the blows Of the sledge used in driv-
ing the last spike.
Describe Ceremony
In his letter to the state librarian
Mr.. Carlton reviews his recollection
of the circumstances of the compile
ton of the track and of the driving
of the last spike, the letter being re
produced in full, as follows:

thousand people or more at a stated
time set for driving the golden spike,
marking the completion of the second
greatest transeontinental railroad,
spanning the American continent.
At the end Of the grandstand, be-
side the grade, was erected a small
telegraph office on piles about four
feet above the ground. In front of
this two polished ties had been put
in place, one of which (the eastern.
One) was to receive the golden spike,
the other for a common railroad
spike, which was partly driven in the
end Of the tie facing the telegraph
office.
Broadcast Blows
Around this spike was wrapt a
telegraph wire connecting with the
main wire above and the office be-
side the grade. The object of this
was. when General Grant gave the
golden spike its first tap, the news
Of the completion Of the road would
be broadcast to the world, and the
occurrence took place in the manner
Of its preparation.
This was one of the most moment
Gus events ever occurring in Mon
tana. The grandstand was filled to
capacity and the broad acreage sur
rounding the Premises was swarmed
with jolly human beings from all
parts of the United States and many
from Europe.
The rails and ties that had beer
laid temporarily at this point had
/ been removed in order to afford z
race of the eastern and western con.
struction crews to the polished ties
or the final goal. After the speaking

construction crews, the eastern win

loudly apBlaudGd. 1t was estimated
by railroad men that the last stated
number of feet completed was at tn
rate Of 10 miles per day. It was sure

At this juncture the vast crowd o
people surrounded the polished tie
to witness the final ending. Genera

Mounting Buffalo Heads

M. G. Kish, Livingston, taxiderm-
ist, states that he will probably have
100 buffalo heads for mounting from
butchers of four different states who
have bought buffalo from the ScotUy
Phillips herd at Pierre, S. D. The
Phillips herd contains 1000 buffalo
and this year 400 will be killed in
order to keep the herd down to the
original number according to Mr..
Kish. Mr.. Kish first mounted buffa-
10 heads from his herd Is years ago
in Omaha, Neb., he says. Within two
years he has mounted 90 heads and
this year the number will be greatly
increased, he believes. He also ex-
poets to mount one life-size animal
and plans to start the work around
