ot Vaz . hk ‘ er LOCAL AND PERSONAL, Chas. Beers, the handsome and oblig- ing clerk of T, J. Chestnut, was recently the happy recipient of an elegant ring presented tohim by the K. of P. lodge of Havre, a8 an evidence of the esteem and regard in which he is’ held by his brother members of that order. On Tuesday evening as the Great Northern train from Butte was coming into the yards, it ran into an open switch colliding with a freight train, wrecking several freight cars, derailing the mail car and damaging the engine to such an extent that it had to be run into the roundhouse for repairs. Fortunately no One was injured. The report seems to be kept going that the railroad men working here are compelled ‘to pay. excessive: prices for board, that it costs 50 vents for every meal they eat. This is an error as there is not a hotel or boarding house in town that pretends to charge moré than 25 cents a meal, which is certainly ag cheap as-could reasonably be expected. It is unfair and unjurt to the town that such reports should be given wide publicity by the different newspapers when they are witheut foundation in fact. The Altna Savings & Loan Company a branch of which has been organized in Slancy, built 11 houses in Anaconda during the summer of 1895. There is a branch of the Association in Anaconda operated on the same plan as it-is pro- posed to operate the branch here, and the benefits which have accrued to An- aconda by reason of the establishment of a branch of the association there may be felt by Clancy if the citizens desire to take advantage of the opportunity. BOILS ON HIS NECK, Krnest Ennerson, from the Snow Clad Heights of British Columbia, Pines for the Orange Groves of Lamp The. following taken from a private letter received from Ernest Ennerson, who is now located at Kaslo, B. C. will prove of interest to many of our readers with whom he is well acquainted : “I promised you on leaving Lump, that I would write you on reaching my destination, but I have not had time un til to-day. This being Sunday, and hav ing ten or a dozen boils¥on my neck I have taken a day off. This is by all odds the most disagreeable country I ever got into. Iam right on top of one of the highest mountains around here, and see nothing but snow all the time. I am told by some that the snow is 20 feet deep on the level, and I believe it, for | think there has fully that much fallen since I have been here, and I don’t ex- pect ¢o see’bare ground before the 4th of July. I have been here two weeks, and havn’t seen a paper since I came. and the only way I can get one is to walk three miles down an angle of 45 de grees, Which is easy enough but the re- turn trip is what catches a man with a weak back—that’s why I don’t get the papers. I don’t like the climate as well as in Montans. Asa mining country it is far superior to Lump Gulch. The greatest drawback is that the mines are all located on the top of mountains, mak- ing it very difficult to get the ore to. a railroad. The way the ore is hauled in the winter is in a rawhide with a mule or ahorse. In this way a ton at a time can be hauled to a point where it is -taken by sleigh about three miles to the railroad by which it is shipped to Kaslo and from there it is taken by steamer up te Bonner’s ferry in summer and to Nel- son in winter, and thence by the G. N. Ry. to Great Falls, Everet or Tacoma to be treated. Very little ore is treated on this side, as there are only two small smelters here, one at Pilot Bay and one at Nelson. The value of the ore shipped to the U. 8. in December and January, was something over $350,000 according to the custom officers report. There is going to be quite a boom in this and what is known as the Foot of the Lake Country. Railroads, concentrators and tramways are being prdjected and as soon ar spring opens times are bound to be pretty lively.” The heaviest snow storm of the year turned itself loose on this locality, com- mencing Thursday night. J. Axford Harvey and, M. Wardwell were over from Winston, where they are engaged in mining, fora few days dur. ing the past week. They report mining operations in that vicinity very active and promising. When Andrew Thompson shies his castor into the ring and goes after any thing, he comes pretty near getting it. Under ordinary circumstances Andrew is not inclined to be proud or puffed up when he has scored a success, but just now he is out of sight, and it wouldn’t surprise us in the least if he was a can didate for mayor of Hartford in the spring ; and all-on account of the arri- val at his home of an eight-pound girl on Wednesday evening of this week. ' Mine Timberiag. The plan of mine timbering known as the Nevada-systein consists in filling up the space exhausted in the ore body with a series of frame cubes. When the walls of the ore deposit are tolerably firm and } 5 not easily softened by exposure to the moist atmosphere of the mine, this sys- ‘tem possesses great strength, but when the hanging-wall is of soft clay slate, softening rapidly on exposure, this sys- tem, with its large timbers, affords only temporary support. Collars and cross- braces are used to arrest asqueeze. The depth to which this system can be car- ried safely depends on the firmness of the hanging and foot-wal]ls more than on the increased pressure from depth, Some very large spaces have been filled on the Comstock with this system, and an immense amount of timber is annually used there. The county commissioners while in session last week were so crowded with business that they adjourned to meet again on the 18th. They found time to file a report on a bridge over the Prickly Pear at Clancy. We don’t know what this favorable report will’ amount to, but hope that in the due course of time it will mean a new bridge. We no- tice they -also found time to order the construction of a thousand dollar fence around the court house at-Boulder. The new fence of course is of much more importance than good roads and safe bridges, especially when the fence is to be built in Boulder and the bridge wanted is to be located in this end of the county. To Miners AND CONTRCTORS I am prepared to furnish mining timbers and lum- ber in car load lots at extremely low prices. Will submit bids when parties desire to purchase from two to twenty cars. J, H.
