Last week the Rocky Fork coal
mine was closed down lor a few days
for the purpose of repairing some
machinery. Tnis taken in connection witn the action of the company
in discharging the president of tlie

that a strike was on. but work has
been reMitned.
The State Capitol l'uihling commission are at piesenl visiting llie
different stone quari ies of I.ho d'.ate
and are examining tbe sandstone
quarry in the vicinity of Hidings today. Jt is quite probable t-hat the

examine the quarries in the vicinity
of l;if} Timber.

supreme court room at the state
capitol. Some of the most promi-
naul attorne}.sof the state witnessed
t he ceremony, \vhich was very brief,

swore in associate justice elect. W.
T. Pigott, which concluded the business and the supreme court adjourned for the day.
An exchange says that time and

The shipments of cattle from Fort
Hen tun this yeai were 384 cars and of
sheep-441 cars, says the Stockgrowers

ed the range about Jiig Sandy, and
Baltic and Galata were still to come.
That season the total was nearly
1,0(10 cars.

says an exchange. McLaughlin is
well known in Montana, having for a
number of years been connected with
the liiver Press of Fort Penton.
The Smith Brothers ranch, near

J100 sheep. The owners now have 48.-
000 head and control .'53.000 acres of
land. John Smith now manages the
entire ranch and cuts 2.000 tons ot
