Many ranch locations are being made
along the foothills on the east side ofthe
Yellowstone, from ten to thirty miles
above Livingston, and some valuable inn
provements have been and are being
made. It is well watered section, bold
streams flowing down from most Of the
canyons, aud the soil could not be richer
being deep, black vegetable mould,
with very few rocky belts or stresks.
The lands back in these foothills are also
sheltered from the violent winds that so
frequently prevail in the main valley Of
the Yellowstone. Many families, the
majority of them well supplied with live
stock and implements, are settling in that
part of the country.

What is known as the Eight Mile
bridge, at the crossing of the Yellowstone
on the road to Emigrant gulch, is report
ed to be in q very insecure condition.
It's foundations have given wav 80 far
that it is now almost as crooked as an old
fashioned worm fence" and q catastro-
phe fearful to contemplate is liable to
occur any time loaded team attempts to
cross. Shall this death-trip be tolerated
until the fatal fall occurs?-until human
lives and more property than the original
cost of the bridge shall be lost in the
seething torrents that are undermining
it? The commissioners should give atten-
ton to the matter at once.

Our worthy marshal demanded the
dog tax from one of our most respectable
citizens. who is maker and vender Of
lager beer, not q thousand miles from
here, but there was some question as to
the gender. The owner of the dog was
almost certain he was of the male per-
suasion and rendered five to the mar
shal. who thereupon gave him three dol
lars in charge. The marshal then told
him to hold up his hands and take the
oath. Up went the hand and the oath
was administered a. follows: "Do you
solemnly swear that it is slut or dog"
Down went the hand with an emphatic,
mo I SUGARS that It 10 a dog or a slut"

An Interview with John Stevens.

On Thursday it was reported that John
Stevens, the veteran miner of Clark
Forke's was in town. The reporter at
once sought him and ascertained the fol-
lowing regarding the mines, in which
Mr.. Stevens is so largely interested in:
allow long has it been Mr.. Stevens
since you were in Bozeman?"
II have not been in town since last
summer. proposed to do all that was
possible last winter toward developing
my mines, and consequently worked all
winter"
"Well. l understand that several Black
Hills capitalists have purchased Clarke's
Fork mines is that true?"
eyes. There were several old miners
from that section prospecting last fall,
and since the sale of some mines l have
learned that they were sent out by par
ties in the Black Hills. In fact an old
time friend of mine who was in the party
told me cohfdentially to hold ON to my
mine. They were very shrewd about
their work, and give it out to the men
about the mines that they did not think
the prospects amounted to much. This
was done to mislead, and it succeeded
admirably too"
"Do you think there will be many
miners from other sections come in this
summer"
Eyes. 1 think there will. under
stand the Homestead Company have sold
out in Deadwood and will invest in
Clarke's Fork. When 1 was coming
down met great number going up ia
begin work as soon as the snow goes
off,"
Now, Mr.. Stevens, you have mined
great deal, would you tell me the differ
ence in the formation of the ore in
Clarke's Fork and the other places you
have BEEN"
"Well, in the Wood River country the
ore is all in pockets or seams, in the
Clarke's Fork 1t is large veins, and in the
| majority of instances increases in width
as it goes down. In the Black Warrior
am down at a great depth, also in the
Yellow Jacket, and in both mines fine
the farther 60 the wider the veins ane
the richer the ore"
II presume your interests in Clarke'
Forks are worth $50, 600, Mr.. Stevens?"
Eyes, it will be mighty cold day
when take less than S25O,OOO for them
l have mined for over 20 years, and nov
feel that have struck what l wanted;
pile"
With some further femarks about thu
smelters which will soon be in operation
The reporter bid Mr.. Stevens good

The Henry Willard Hydraulic Com
pany have struck good drifting diggings
on the upper portion Of their ground,
within the limits of the town of Chico.
At the lower end, near the Yellowstone,
good prospects were found until water
was encountered-abou eighteen feet be-
low the surface, and about seventy-fve
above high water mark in the river.
Striking water is considered most en-
couraging indication, showing that bed
rock is near and ample drainage insured.
The company's grounds have linear ex-
tent of three miles, and have been well
prospected throughout The poorest, it
is claimed, will yield big returns hydrau-
licing, and much Of it is rich enough for
drifting.
