PARK PARAGRAPHS

| Special Correspondence
Christmas was celebrated very quietl,
but costly at Mammoth Hot Springs.
e. O. Clark, engineer for the Park I'm
provement company, spent the day at the
house of Assistant Superintendent G. L
Henderson with whom his father, Henry
Clark, had been an intimate friend fo1
many years while they both resided in
Clermont township, Fayette county, Iowa
John Lilly, went through Mammoth
Hot Springs on his way from Cooke to
Livingston, on the 9th. He reports a
feeling of disappointment on account of
the recent experiments with the new
smelte. When Major Eaton returns a
new roaster will he constructed, after
which it is confidently expected that the
refractory ores will surrendet their metals
and a period of prosperity to Cooke will
ensue.
Oscar Swanson is out in a bran new
cutter, the mechanical work of which is
the result of J. s. Downs invention and
skill. 1t is at once strong and light and
will easily carry six persons. The snow
is SO deep now that wheeling is almost
impossible.
A. A. Deem, agent for Wakefield 6
Hoffman's mail and express company, is
of opinion that it is impossible to carry
the mail from Cooke to Mammoth Hot
Springs, through in one day.
The snow is now much deeper than it
was any time last winter. The mail COM
pany has provided stations for the men
and horses between those two points. hop
ing thereby to ensure the prompt delivery
of the mail.
1t is reported that Postmaster Randall,
Of Cooke, recommends the withdrawal of
the tri-weekly mail, and that weekly
mail would be all that the winter requires
and that the condition of the roads would
permit.

A Miles City man sued his .neighbor
for $4,000 for the seduction of his wife.
The figures are rather steep, but she was
