As yet there has been no conference
with the officials of either of the
mining companies against which the
campaign ia being waged. The reason
for this, it is reported, ia that the
Silver Dyke ha* not yet completed
its plans for dating the evil, which
plans are well under way but not
quite complet«.
In connection with the above anoth-
er bit of j new* is of interest. The
Great Northern maintains at Arming-
ton a pumping station and a precipi-
tation plant for preparing water for
its engines on both the Billings and
Northern and Neihart branches. This
is an important watering place be-
cause of the heavy grade* encount-
ered east and sooth of Armington.
It is reported by residents of Arm-
ington that the Groat Northern well
situated some fifty feet from Belt
creek is going dry and that the nom
ber of hours pumping on each shift,
has been cot to two.
