Mho death of Colonel Cbarles A. Broad-
water ut Helena removes ono of the most
prominent llpures In the progressive lifo of
Montuim. Ho was ono of the noted big
four in the democratic party of the Plato ,
his colleagues being ex-Governor Hausor of
Helena and Marcus Daly and A , W. Clark
of Helena. Although ho did not seek or hold
office , bo was nevertheless a power In the
councils of the party , and displayed in poli
tics tbo sagacity and aggressive enterprise
that distinguished him in business affairs.
Charles A. Broadwator was corn in the
town of SU Charles , St. Charles county , Mo. ,
September 23,1840 , making him at the time
of his death 02 years of ago. Ho grow to
young manhood near bis native city. Ho
wont to Colorado in 1SCO , and when sold was
discovered at Bannock bo came to Montana.
Ho Joined one of the first expeditious and
BOOH arrived at the now Eldorado in the fall
of 1SG2. After a brief season in
the mines ho entered the freighting
business , in which ho continued until the
railroad came. Ho was also a contractor. In
nil bis ouslno.is ventures ho was remarkably
successful and amassed a fortune. Ho pos
sessed a genius tnat was phenomenal , and It
Was all directed toward banoQUng tno slalo
of Montana. Ho was ono ot iho promoters
of the Great Northern railway and with
Hon. Paris Gibson was ono of President
Hill's chief supporters in that great under
taking. Ho was president of the Montana
Central railway from thu time of its organi
sation unlil bis death , end ho established the
Montana National bank In Helena , ono of tbo
leading : llnancial institutions of the stale.
But Iho institution in which Colonel
Broadwator took greatest pride , and which
will always remain an enduring monument
to his memory , was the Hotel Broadwator
and nalatorium. The establishment of these
great institutions required a largo outlay of
capital ana indomitable pluck. Ho was'
largely interested in mines , and bo owned
many of the best properties in the Ton-Mllo
district and at Noitiart.
Too colonel's adventurers while bo was on-
oned in bis experiences of early days were
often exciting and sometimes dangerous.
Ho became perfectly familiar with tbo
roughoat side ot pioneer life. Throughout it
nil bo was uniformly a man of cheerful tem
perament. Ho made warm friends every
where , and In hli early experience be dis
played the rare executive qualities w.hicb , in
later life , proved to bo ot ereut account to
pirn when bo wai engaged in adrentures on
jm impressively large scale.

Kccont reference ) to the natural wonders of
Montana , particularly the ChlcKon-broth and
blchlorlue serin gs , brings to light others of
equal magnitude. Colonel John Doylo's won
derful vinegar mine in Boavcrhoad county
passes the domain of doubt into the sunlight
ofltuth. It Is backed by crttp aflldavlts.
and aflldavlts cost $1 each In Montana. The
colonel and bis partners did not conllno
themselves to vinegar. They discovered a
mountain of nuro alum Iu. the Beaverhoad
run co. The discovery was considered a ton-
strike ana bettor than a gold ralno. They
kept tbo und a secret for several wcoks , dur
ing xvhlch a shaft was sunk to the depth of
300 feet , . The cut was irmao alt the way
through a solid voln of alum , ana It was oui-
nmtud that the whole mountain wus con ) ,
oo od of It. A largo pile of the stuff was
heaped near tbo mine , ready tor shipment ,
and the miners hnduschomo to tlood the
market with their product and rake
in 31,000,000 at ono foil swoop. Last
Monday Iho colonel's partner wont to town
to lay in a supply of grub and the former
remained behind 'to guard their treasure.
During the morning n heavy rain began to
fall and continued nil day and m the otter-
noon the colonel hnd occasion logo down into
thu mine , making the descent by sliding
tlown the rope nnd when once down at the
boitom was so taken up with a contempla
tion of his novel and wonderful mine that bo
did not heed the fleeting hours until ho hnp-
pcuod to cist hU c.vcs upward and saw that
daylight had faded from the mouth of the
shaft. Ho started to climb upward , but had
not proceeded moro than half way when to
his horror ho discovered that the heavy fall
Of rain had so thoroughly saturated the alum
si ( < es of tno shaft that as a natural result
they hnd drawn top-other until tno hole was
scarcely largo enough for a man to crawl
through. Tno imprisoned man recognized
his awful position and without losing
much time struggled toward the top or the
shaft. Every foot ho advanced the shaft
became smaller , and for the last ten feet ho
was compelled-tn dig bis way up with u
pocket knife , and when ha finally reached the
surface ho was completely exhausted , his
clothes were torn and his body badly bruised.
The rain was still falling , which soon revived
the colonel , and bo started towards the camp
to meet his partner , to whom bo related his
remarkable experience. Together they re
turned to tholr mine , or at least tried to , for
although they searched for two days they
were unnblo to find any sign of tholr late
possessions. The rain had undoubtedly thor
oughly and tightly closed up the discovery
shaft and molted away every sign of the
alum piled on tbo outside , so that to this time

While rival rallroadsjiro straining every
coint tu demolish space and distance previous
records of sceed , an inventive genius In Tacoma -
coma promises to throw dust in the eyes of
all competitors. According to reports of
scienllbc mon , M. L. F. Cook has tolved the
problem of rapid transit , with cable or plec-
triclty as tbo motive power. It , is a modiQed
form of tncyclo road. The double tracks
only occupy ono foot in space , and are car
ried on a single line of piera twelve Inches
square , and of proper height , so that the
bottom of the car , which is carried from the
top , is twelve .or fourteen feet from the
ground. Tbo car being earned from an
upper corner has a side gravitation at the
bottom where the drive wheels , placed hori
zontally in the bottom of tbo car , and driven
by an electric motor on the car , bear
against the rails ; and electricians claim
that by this combination two miles a minute
may bo attained. Tbo cars travel in opposite
directions on opposite sides of tbo pinrs and ,
owing to the manner they are attached to
tbo upper track , cannot bo derailed. The
cars are only three feet wide , are constructed
of aluminum and will not weigh more than
the passengers. Passengers will got In and
out at the side of the car.
Mr. Cook bos been allowed patents on his
systems , and claims to be able to make any
curve , grade or speed that may bo required.

mounting and lighting infantry on foot is
something thai cavalry may do wilh reason

WHAT IT COSTS.
Salaries Paid to Clerks In Thrco of the City
Office * .
In making a comparison of iho municipal
expense for the month of April , 1891 and
April , 1803 , of tno tbreo principal oily offices
iho comptroller , tbo treasurer and the
clerk tbo number of clerks employed there
in , with tbo exception of the city clerk's
office , bos boon Increased this year and Ibo
salaries are consequently greater for caah
department. Tbo city clerk's ofllco
has the same number of clerks
this year as It had In Ib'JI , bul Iho salaries
for April , 165B , are 839.09 loss lhan they were
for the same period in 1891.
The city comptroller's office has ono more
clerk this year than It bad last. The pay roll
of that deparlment for Iho past April was
fejOLM , while U was $713.31 In April. 1891 , an
increase ot & 5.VV9 for clerk hire. This was
The Court Has Decided Against Us.
Last fall , previous to Mr , Hellman's death , he bought $40,000
worth of spring and summer goods , of which $15,000 worth was deliv
ered prior to his death. The balance , $25,000 worth , the estate refused
to accept on the ground that they were closing out the business. But
the manufacturers went to law and the consequences are that we find
ourselves saddled with $25,000 worth of new spring and summer goods
that we had not calculated upon. There's no use to cry over spilled
milk , however , so the best we can d9 is to get them off our hands , and
as you know this is not a money-making sale , you will have the most
astounding bargains placed before you ever heard tell of. The estate
must be wound up , and the prices .we will quote you will astonish and
please you. The goods are brand new and the styles the latest inthe
market.

The largest Increase In salaries has boon in
the treasurer's ofllco. Tbo clerk biro is moro
than double. In April , 1891 , there worp six
clerks , Including tbo treasurer blmsolf , drawIng -
Ing a salary of f640.G7. In April , 1893 , there
were twelve In tbo treasury department re
ceiving salaries aggregating tl.500 , an In
crease of $353.33 for the month over the cor
responding time last year. The comparison
of the months is not a fair one , as City
Treasurer Rush In 1891 received 2 per cent
interest on city funds blmsolf , and
paid Individually for the clerk biro
for that worn. Now tbo city ItsoU
receives tbo interest on tbo funds instead of
the Individual treasurer , and tbo city accord
ingly pays for the increased help. While the
comptroller's records show that tbero were
twelve clerks in April , 1892 , there were vir
tually only cloven , as ono of that num bar
worked only a portion of the month and an
other was put on in his placo. The salary of
the two is simply the wages of ono.

paying moro salaries for Increased help. Is

der tbo old law Mr. Rush for April ,
1891 , received as fees ou delinquent

ho received n raonihly overage of $1,000. The
