Track progress near Hailey Idaho advances, Oregon Short Line reaches 376 miles from Granger, and new Little Rock Junction railroad bridge plans surface. Telegraph and telephone sectors rally as Southwestern Telegraph enters Lowell syndicate control with strong earnings and growing exchanges. Sullivan Mining reports copper output rising as ore bodies are found.

Driven wells offer clean cold water solution for brewers
The notice from B F Smith at 266 Washington street highlights driving wells six to eight inches in diameter to depths up to 1000 feet through earth or rock. A sand and vacuum chamber prevents leaks, easing pumping. Water from driven wells is pure and cold, avoiding surface drainage, with special emphasis for brewers seeking a reliable, economical water source.
