Interview With Julius Steinmeier.
^om the Nampa Loader.]
A reporter of ihe Loader called at the
more of the Fa!k-Block Mercantile Co.
vesterdav, and found evidences of an
immense business going on in everv de
partment. The store was crow ded w ith
customers and ori the track some five nr
six men were unloading cars. The
w arehouses seemml packed with goods
and tile yard and platforms were all
covered with mining machinery, and
some half dozen teams ''lading with
freight for tire mines. * Catching hold of
Julius Steinmeier, we asked him if lie
could give us some information as to the
outlook across the river.
Mr. Steinmeier gave us a look from all
'
over his countenance, which you all
know' covers a great deal of ground, and
evidently much gratified, sai-l :

down and the m.ners discharged on
March 21st on account of a disagreement
with the Montana Union Railroad Coin-j
pan y which hauled the ore. It has been
reported that the Anaconda Co. would
build a new road and only a week ago
the people of Boise City thought they
saw in this proposed undertaking a fac

railroad was hauling for the Anaconda
