GROWTH OF DOZRMAN.

Notwithstanding that q great many
buildings have been erected this year
and many more are now being built. the
demand for houses to rent is great. This
speaks well for the growth Of Bozeman.
Rents are higher here than in any place
in Montana by reason of such demand,
and strange Is it may seem the property
is not held as at high figures as in some
other places. To q stranger it is unac-
countable how such rents can be paid,
but they argue that business justifies it.
There Is . great field here for investment

Yesterday as the merchants of the

were listlessly reclining on free seats
aud benches, a sudden raid was made
on the town by some cowboys whose
fierce appearance and full armament
struck terror to the heart of every be-
holder. The town would have been
taken had not the COWBOYS been
thirsty, and gone into bit saloon to
drink benzine to work up their war

Dan Coleman took trip to Bull

yesterday. He noticed considerable
life at Bullion, the mines improving as
developments progress. The Bullion
Mining Company's concentration is
about completed. From the mouth of
Bullion gulch over the divide and
down Narrow Gauge gulch is all ac-
tivity-mining, building and pros
perity. The Eureka mine hosting
works is not ye: completed, but soon
will be. On the west side of the
divide between Bullion ana Narrow
Gauge gulch considerable interest is
taken in some new locations made on
the hill. The Pass mine, located here,
has been in litigation the past twelve
months, and recently the owners con-
sidered the matters in dispute settled,
but later on since the decision of
Judge Pickett was rendered that the
Pass was the location and dissolving
some cross locations, there have been
other locations made on top of the
older ones, and therefore more litiga-
ton is threatened.
Doctor Mckay and Mr.. Marston
are prospecting in that vicinity, an!
opening claim named the Wide
Gauge, lying along side the Narrow
Gauge mines.
On the Narrow Gauge mines, men
are building houses, mining, hauling
lumber, carpentcring, etc, and the
prospects are good for rival town to
Bullion. The new metropolis is
known as Orado.
The owners of the mines on Deer
Creek are fully satisfied with the per-
manence and value of the mines, and
will add more miners on the pay-rolls
at every possible opportunity.
