PETE ANDERSON IN YESTERDAY

Pete Anderson and wife arrived early yesterday afternoon from the circle country, coming in in four days with their own horse and rig. Mr. Anderson reports that things are quiet in the Circle district at present. Quite a little prospecting is being done and several large dumps will be taken out during the winter. The camp suffered greatly from lack of water this year, and things are somewhat backward on that account.

Mr. Anderson has three hydraulic plants in operation on Mastodon creek, and Rasmussen, the circle freighter, is going to move another one in for him during the winter. The Andersons will be in town for several months. While here they will make their home in the Pinska residence on Second and Barnette.
