Mr. Wilson reports a grey granite ledge near town suitable for fireproof structures. About 200 perches mined with rock ranging from brick-size to large slabs, tested for heat resistance and cracking. Quarry three quarters of a mile from town spans 165 by 325 feet with four workers, promising rapid wall laying and durable faces.
The Butte column reports on the Fidelity Lodge hall project in Dellinger’s new building, funeral services for H Porter, a New York marriage of Charles Blunt, a horse taming class by B F Wright, and hospital renovations by Mitchell & Mussighod. It notes copper mining gains by multiple firms, bank openings, new hotels, real estate moves by J M Wetzel, road lodging stations, and community events including a large funeral procession for Henry.
An advertisement extols a forthcoming sale at Blum's Bazaar offering numerous articles of fast comfort at reasonable prices with refreshments and entertainment. It lauds Henry McMurphy as manager for his consistent business success and customer service, asserting patrons will find what they want and enjoy dealing with him.
The column notes Montana freight moving to the region and other shipments held at depots awaiting freighters. Farmers fear grasshopper swarms may hatch soon if warm weather continues, and preparations to combat them are under way. The piece comments on past smelting ventures at Corinne and the potential for revived operations using Montana ores and available water power.
