ticipated when he was first assigned
to the work. As to the feasibility of
the road he declared there was no
question regarding that matter. While
the crew reached a higher point on
the location survey than in the recon-
naissance survey the route taken was
done with the view of avoiding snow
and directing the line to the most
scenic points.
The survey crew has most of the
time consisted of IT men. Mr.. Nit
chell spoke in the highest terms of
his crew as to their ability and eff
cheney in their work and their loyal
ty and faithful service to him.
The reconnaissance survey from
Red Lodge to Cooke City showed a
distance of 6S miles, and the location
survey shortens the distance to 641a
miles to the town of Cooke. Mr..
Mitchell stated that the distance from
Red Lodge would be 621a miles to
point where the proposed road will
tap the road leading to the ore mines,
making it the shortest and most di-
rect route for hauling ore from Cooke
to railroad point, which would be
in this city.
Mr.. Mitchell enthusiastically stated
that in all his experience with the bu-
reau of public roads he had never
made a survey which travels a more
scenic route. Mr.. Mitchell also stated
that when he reached the top of the
plateau on October Is there was no
snow to interfere with travel at any
point.
The highest point reached in the
location survey was 10,940 feet. The
elevation of the road on the Clarks
Fork was 6,S51 feet and the highest
point at Cooke was 1851 feet, OF
about the same elevation as Richel
Lodge.
While the road reaches these high
points there is but one point where
the grade exceeds five per cent and at
this part of the highway the grade
will reach 55 per cent for distance
of 1900 feet, which makes a very easy
and feasible grade for trucking or
motoring.
On the return trip from Cooke City
Engineer Mitchell was met at Richel
Lodge by 0. H. F. Shelley, secretary
of the Beartooth Boosters club, Sat-
urday. Mr.. Mitchell was accompanied
by Karl Nissi, office man, Harry
Smith and son, Glen Smith, who had
been in charge of the pack outfits.
The other surveyors of the party
left Cooke City Sunday by W. of
Yellowstone Park and Gardiner for
Missoula and their respective homes
in the state. Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
Nissi left Red Lodge Monday after
noon by train Mr.. Mitchell stated
that he expected to have report of
the location survey completed and the
figures for the cost of construction
compiled by December /.

BILLINGS EXHIBITS
RED LODGE GUIDES
SKULL DISCOVERY

MacArthur's Sport shop in Billings
exhibited for several days the skull
of Rocky Mountain sheep, which
was taken to Billings by Ben Green
ough, a Red Lodge guide. The skull
had a flint arrowhead imbedded in
the bone above the eye. 1t was dis
covered near the top of the Slide Rock
trail above Mirror lake ON the plateat
above the main fork Of Rock creek.
The point of the arrow was firml.
driven into the bone tissues in the
ridge above the eye. 1t was evident
from the growth of the tissue around
the arrow that the wound had not
proved fatal and the bighorn probably
carried the arrow point in its head
for several years before its death. The
skull was found, face downward in a
pile of rocks a short distance off the
trail.
From the weathering Of the flint
as we'll as from the fact that the
bones had disintegrated considerably,
it is believed that the animal lived
many years ago. The arrowhead is
of brown flint, about two inches long,
and was driven into the bone in
slanting position as if shot from un-
derneath the animal. The arrow
struck about an inch and half from
the eye, the point evidently aimed
for.

ORCHESTRA DATES
ARE CANCELLED BY
DIRECTOR ADAM

Prof. Adam of this city, who organ
lied and directed the Montana SYM
phony orchestra last year and who
had started plans for concert tour
again this year, announces that he has
cancelled all booking contracts tenn
porarily, and it is more than prob
able cancellations will remain in eff
feet permanently. Mr.. Adam made the
foregoing statement yesterday and
stated that the chief obstacle he en-
countered was in the itinerary, which
was OF such nature as to cause long
and expensive jumps between points
Where he was able to secure engage
ments. Immediately upon cancella-
tion of contracts Mr. Adam received
kilograms from all parts of the state
asking him to reconsider his decision.
The only possible method, Mr.. Adam
says, to salvage the plan would be
personal visit to every town in the
state, the same as he did last year.
whereby he could secure satisfactory
itinerary. However, he can not at
present see any possibility of renew
ed bookings because of lack of
FINANCES to provide for the personal
visits.

started the latter part of this month.
