Editor Chronicle:
For the information of the public at
large you will oblige by inserting the
following notice, that we have a few bold
thieves in this community and 1 want
the people to know it.
On Friday, the 18th INST, party con-
sisting of three men in a four horse
wagon, stole from off the hay stacks at
this post three hospital tent flys, mark
ed U. S. army, Duck" giving the inspec-
tors name and ounces per yard. It
would be well for the people to keep a
lookout, as they have supplied them
selves with Government Canvas" they
are not too good to steal a hay stack or
saw buck with a bull dog tied to it. In
the language of our efficient Forage Mas
ter, Mr.. Whitby, he would not trust such
daring fellows with "Red hot army
range" A liberrl reward will be given
for the canvass, but considerable more
for the apprehension and conviction of
the thieves. Keep a lookout for the can
vass, they are bound to spread it this wet
weather.

CIV Mounts is in receipt of letter from
Dave Boerum, of date May 4th. Mr.. B.
was one of the party who left here some
time since on the stampede to the reput-
ed mines in the Courd 'Alene mountains.
The party were at that date at Crows
Nest, about sixty miles from the mines
and had proceeded as far as they could
with saddle and pack animals. They left
their horses at Snowey's Ranch and de-
parted that morning on foot, with forty
pounds to the man, over snow from three
to ten feet deep. Were in good spirits
and sanguine over the reputed richness
of the new mines. Says 200 men are on
the opposite side of the range in worse
fix than they are, waiting for chance to
get in. Mr.. Mounts is daily expecting
dispatches from the party, both as tc
their progress and discoveries. We
would advise any who contemplate going
there to await further developments.

A REVIEW,
Twelve years ago when came to Boze-
man I brought all my worldly wealth
Qess than two thousand t.ollars) with me
and cast my lot with the pioneers of civ
ilation hereabouts, with an expectation
to make a home and live among the adj
vance guard. Since that time my bust
ness has increased from five thousand
dollars the first year to twenty thousand
dollars the last year, and 1 am proud
of the record l have made, and feel
just pride in my customers, who have
enabled me to achieve such a success. A
year ago, the march of improvement
caused ME to vacate the log house corner
of Main and Bozeman streets, at which
time l commenced the building of
more spacious and comfortable building
to accommodate my increasing trade. At
ter two removals and one fire, am at
last settled in my new quarters,
OSBORN'S NEW BRICK BLOCK,
where hope to see all my old friends
and customers, and the public generally,
whether they wish to purchase or not. 1
hope they will come in aud take a look
around and compare the old with the
new.
You will find a larger and better select
ed stock of goods in the drug line than
was ever before brought to Bozeman
consisting in part of
Drugs proper, patent medicines, toilet
and fancy goods, perfumeries, sponges,
fine pocket cutlery, gold and steel pens,
pencils, stationery, brushes-all kinds,
toilet soaps, paints and oils, window
glass, lamps and chandeliers, lamp trim
mings, tr,lsses, supporters, braces, can
dies, pure liquors for medical use, and
the best goods generally that can be
bought for money.

Real Estate Transfers.

| liz outfSAibAO uAAA W al LII W you'll
err of the past week has had a reviv,ng
influence Oh all branches of business, and
in consequence real estate has shown
considerable improvement. There has
been large representation of eastern
capitalists in Bozeman, during the last
ten days, who are making careful inves-
tigation into our boundless resources,
previous to heavy investments. Mining
industries are in a very satisfactory con-
dition. Recent superficial prospecting
within radius of twelve miles of Boze-
man has revealed the existence of vast
deposits of copper and superior quality
of hematite iron ore. "Straws show the
way the wind blows" and the discovery
of such vast wealth almost within the
limits of the city of Bozeman, points to
our future wealth and prosperity.
