Pizer is going to move his busi- h ues down to his store, just west of his si dwelling, until his new brick store build- r ing is completed. George Tucker has started another d stage line between Philipsburg and Granite. This now makes five regular i stages over this line. The town is so completely filled with a visitors that accommodations are very b hard to get. All the hotels are filled d from cellar to garret. e George Modini, of the Grand restau- iP rant, has bought out his partner, John Miller, and will hereafter conduct the qt business alone at the same stand. m The water tank at the depot will get d its supply by a pipe which will tap the al reservoir of the Philipsburg Water Co. This will render pumping unnecessary. b The travel from Anaconda on Tuesday m was so heavy as tG require the putting on th of an additional coach. Both the extra fo: ;nd the regular came in loaded down. A resident of Hasmark was fined $825 b and costs yesterday for removing and at- in tempting to take away one of the win- 15 dows of a house which he had rented. m' at Jno. W. Long foreman of the Black m. Pine mire got into town last evening. J. He reports prospects and developed prop- an erties in that district all looking well. te The reports of damage done by the be hail storm to the grain that was still wi standing down the valley, last week, seem now to have been somewhat ex- M aggesated. of Wn. McCale was arrested in CGeorge- do town ••ing the week by the deputy shi sheriff for obtaining money under false be pretencea The crime consisted in the su selling by McCalde of a mine which he did col pot own. The purchaser, we understand, -- i was Louis Schardt and the money paid cre ~gap $.100. th We •uderstand that a Mr. Livingston, from Butte, has rented Connelly's place, lately occupied by Leopold' furniture store, and will open a clothing business there. No news has as yet been had of James Lee, who, as mentioned in our last, re- cently disappeared while on the road be- tween Harris' ranch' and Dunkleberg creek. . The iron foundry has found it neces- sary to ship its sand from Butte, a lot of it being already ordered and loaded, and expected to arrive to-day or to- morrow. The location of the depot half way be- tween Philipsburg and Drummond has been made at Horton's instead of at Me- Cray's a quarter of a mile below, as was at first intended. Ben Folk, of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Helena, came over last week, on mining business, and staid tosee the railroad get in. He had merely the interest of a vis- itor, but he celebrated just the same. A meeting of members of Knights of Pythias of this vicinity will be he held at Masonic Hall, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, for the purpose of completing the business commencedlast Sunday. The round house in the depot yard is rapidly being constructed. It will be seventy feet in diameter. The depot building is also under way, and will probable be complete before the end of I next week. " Born--~ n lhilipsburg, September 12, 1887, to the wife of C. E. Miller, a daugh- te -'PTl eMAI office has had the pleas- ure of drink'lthe health of this young lady in dry champagne, opened .by the smiling father. The locating engineers of the D. & P. R . Rhave all been moved to the Burg and when entirely done on the D. & P line will begin the runningof preliminar-, ies up Douglas creek with a view to find- ing a practical route to the Granite. Ever since the railroad has been within three miles of town it has been largely patronized by incoming visitors from the direction of Drummond, and on Sat- urday, the day of its reaching all the way, the number of passengers was twenty- five. Work on Charles Wilson's building has again been stopped. No cause has been assigned for this last blow to the pros- pects of the town, but rumor has it that Charlie stopped to spit on his hands and get a fresh hold, and has not since found the energy to recommence. The mining men now visiting the Burg are much surprised at the great change and enlargement in the place since their last recent visit. Even Ed. J. Zimmer- man, an old-timer and who can tell a thing or two himself about sudden growths, confesses himself utterly as- tounded. The latest news concerning the run- ning of trains between Philipsburg and a Butte and Helcna is to the effect that i until the Bitter Root railroad is complet- ed a special accommodation will leave Helena at 3:30 p. m., connecting at Gar- rison and reaching Philipsburg about 9p. m. Frank D. Brown's office has been un- dergoing improvements for the last week, in the way of porches, oil cloths, etc. Over the desk has been placed a hand- some illuminated text, bearing the legend: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here, and don't spit on the floor." Jno. W. Dawson has got in a type- writer of a make .similar to the recent importation by Frank Brown. When Mr. Dawson went to Mr. Brown fo•it- structions, etc., the latter was heard to remark, "Yes, I like the machine vWell enough, but as yet I can't teach the durnedl thing to lie !" The dance given in the old Northwest mill at Tower by Mr. and Mrs: Holquist proved a very enjoyable affair. A mag- nificent supper was served at Holquist's boarding house at 12 o'clock, after which dancing was resumed and kept up until I early morning. Quite'a number of Phil- t ipsburg people were in attendance. The tramp has broken out in a new quarter, haying made several thefts of meat from the rear of the houses on Gran- ite street. - Some- of the stolen food was dog meat and no doubt the tramp is abusing the inconsiderateneps of people t who would put such meat where it could be stolen, but the largest part of the meat was of the most superior kind, and 11 the officers should keep their eye peeled for the thief. The schedule time-table of the Philips- burg & Drummond railroad, which goes into effect to-day, Thursday, September 1 15th, is as follows: Train leaves Drum- " mond at 4:30 a. m.; arrives at Philipsburg 1 at 6:45 a. m. Leaves Philipsburg at 7 p. t m.; arrives at Drummond at 9:15 p. m. J. J. Donovan is the engineer in charge and T. C. Armitage, assistant superin- tendent of transportation. The stations between Philipsburg and Drummond will be New Chicago, Stone and Flint. a: For the last issue of the Northwest a Magazine,. descriptive and illustrative of Helena, the people of that place owe a deep debt of gratitude to the barbed * shafts of tho Inter Mountain, which have B been so effectively aimed at previous is- sues. Smalley has this time spent the cash collected in Helena--or at least some of it -- in getting out a number which is a credit to the city described, and to, the publication, and well worth the price asked in itself. The outs in this issue cannot be compared with those of any previous issue, for the simple reason that these last are excellent-intelligent in conception; true in drawing and satis- factory in engraving-and show the beautiful city of. Helena as abe really is. The portraits of prominent men are bet- ter than before, but still not all up to the standard. A curious feature, how- ever, is the noticeable absence from among them of any one connected with the greatest daily newspaper on the east side, if not in the territory. We understand that until the railroad is turned over to the operating depart- ment, which will not be until the expira- tion of the next thirty days, a train will leave Drummond regularly at 4 a. m. for the Burg, and returning leave the Burg, at about 6:30 in the evening. It is also learned that the permanent arrangement, after the acceptance of the Philipsburg & Drummond .railroad and the Bitter Root railroad by the Northern Pacific operating department, will include the running of a special accommodation train which will leave Helena sometime in the miorning and go as far as Mis- soula, connecting at Garrison, Drum- mond and Missoula with trains at-those points. This will enable the trip from Helena to Philipsburg to be made in something less than six hours, and the return trip cnn be made in about the same time, irclose connections are made. It- is the belief at present, however, among those who should be pretty good guessers, if they do not absolutely know, that the train will leave Philipsburg in the morning for Drummond, where pas- sengers for Helena and Butte will have to wait for the return of the accommoda- tion from Missoula. THE RAILROAD'S ARRIVAL. Trains Now Running Regularly Be- twet n Phillpsburg and Drummond. Last Saturday evening the rails of the Drummond & Philipsburg railroad were laid into the depot yard and the work practically finished, though of course much remains to be done in completing the ballasting, laying, switches, etc. A large number of the residents of the town turned out to witness the arrival of the iron horse, champagne was opened and the band played. Trains are now run- ning regularly, though the time table has not yet been permanently arranged. THE DEADLY PISTOL. David Fannell Ae cidently Shoots Himself Early Saturday Horning. Last Saturday morning, while return- ing from a dance at Tower. David Fin- nell, a miner working on the Hill, acci- dently shot himself with a 45-calabre Colts revolver, inflicting a wound from the effects of which he died at 5:30 o'clock the same morning. Finnell was in the habit of carrying his pistol stuck in the waistband of his pantaloons and Wim. Caldwell, who was wi th him at the time of the accident, says he was trying his skill in drawing and firing quickly. The pistol which was not a self-cocker must have been stuck into its place al- ready cocked, as the discharge occurred before it had been completely drawn out The bullet entered the left groin and passed down the left leg to the calf, fol- lowing the course of the -main artery. The coroner's jury rendered -a verdict of death by accidental shooting, and the deceased was buried in the Philipsburg cemetery on Sunday, a large concourse following his remains to the grave. A. B. Hower will move his photo- graphic studio car from Granite to New Chicago about October 1, where for the next ten days he will accommodate his numerous patrons with sittings every af- ternoon. Read!

Our Mining Editor's Report Upon the Mines of this District. NOTES. The Pearl has shipped two car loads of ore this week. The railroad switch to the sampling mill will probably be completed to-day or to-morrow. Charles Kaufman, a mining engineer I of Denver, who has been experting in the Castle Mountains, is in town looking at - the mines of this vicinity. Some of the St. Louis people went through the West Granite workings yes- terday with General Manager Pardee, who has returned from Helena and is again at his post. Ed. L Zimmerman, Phil. M. Saunders, G. J. Plant, Luther Kennett, and Judge W. T. Boyle, of the San Francisco com- pany, arrived on Monday from Helena. Some of the party went up to the Hill to see the great Granite mine. GRANITE. The operations in both mill and mine continue uninterruptedly and with the L regular result as to output. This ship- ment of bullion for last week amounted ) to 38 bars carrying 61,427.03 oz. fine sil- ver and 30.601 oz. gold. sAN FRANCISCO CON. At the stockholders' meeting, held at this place. Monday, the following trus- tees were elected to serve during the en- suing year: G. J. Plant, L. M. Kennett, S. R. Francis, O. D. Delano, Richard Everett, Joseph B. McCullough, J. C. Ewald, N. C. Chapman and Phil M. Saunders. The date for the annual meeting of the trustees was fixed for the third Thursday in August. In the mine, the same favorable con- ditions continue unimpaired. The west drift at the 200-foot station is in a dis- tance of 165 feet from the shaft, and the east 162 feet. The tunnel is in a distance of 953 feet from point of taking cover. The shaft, which is now a few feet be- low the 200-foot station, has not been sunk since the recent favorable develop- ments. Sinking will probably be re- sumed next week, or very soon there- after. FORTH GRANITE. The crosscut which was started from the vein not long since, and run out across the country at right angles, has now a length of 93 feet, and is in hard granite, driving slow. This piece of work was begun, as previously men- tioned, with the idea of determining if there was not a larger vein south of and parallel to that which the tunnel had been run and the calculation is that the crosscut should now be somewhere near this vein. WEST GRANITE. The crosscut at the 400-foot level of the Rattlesnake is now in 45 feet, having been driven with vigor all the week. The character of the rock through which it is passing remains about the same as at the shaft, soft and iron-stained and occasion- ally mineralized to a considerable degree. The Butte cross-cut is in 235 feet, the rock having hardened again from last re- port. The Elizabeth tunnel is 660 feet, still on the vein. BELLE. The shaft is now 35 feet below the sta- tion, which gives it a depth of 185 feet. The rock is granite, and continues ex- cessively hard. Water is copious, but is kept well in hand by the station pump. HOPE. The mill is running constantly and the mine producing steadily. The bullion was melted in the first part of the week. Work on the Silver Chief continues. THE BLACK PINE SHUT DOWN. The information of the closing down of the mill and mine reached the Burg last evening, accompanied by a re- port that the machinery, bullion, etc., had been attached by the workmen. In- quiry this morning shows this to be about the state of the case. The trouble seems to have been started by the arrival of the man who had sold the vanners to the company with a refusal to permit them to be put into place until they were set- tled for. This of course brought things to a crisis immediately. The news of this disaster was a great suprise to every one, so much so, indeed, as to be at first disbelieved. In view of the fact that the mill since starting has been turning out bullion at the rate of $12,000 per month, the affair is believed to in certain circles to be a freeze-out game, as people who know state positively that the ore treated was not custom ore, but belonged to the company. The statement concerning the output made in the MAIL two weeks ago was on the authority of J. M. Merrill, president of the company, and a gentle- man whose word is as good as his bond. A feeling seems to be gaining ground in I this vicinity, that the company will come I out all right, and both friends and enem- ies say unhesitatingly that the mines of the company are excellent properties. BOWIE. Some of the ore from the dump of this mine has been sold to the Philipsburg sampling mill. The remainder is being sorted and sacked for continued ship- ment. C SYDNEY. P It has been decided to sink the shaft to A the 200 foot level instead of to the 150, as of previously proposed, before crosscutting e At the depth of 115 feet another vein has come into the shaft.
