LIVINGSTON, Mont, July 7.-Work in
the park has been suspended until another
| appropriation is made, all the money hav-
| ing been expended. The roads in the park
have been vastly improved under d. G.
Kingman's direction. and by reason of these
| improvements the tourist season will be
| heightened at least one month in the fore
part and the same time in the latter part of
the season. The park season will here
after extend from June to November, in
stead of from July to October as hereto
fore. The first tourists in the park this
season were f. w. A. Pope and A. Tenn
pleton of Milbank, OAK, and A. Ander-
son of Camden. n. j. They went as far
as the upper Geyser basin, starting from
the Cottage hotel at Mammoth hot
springs on May % and returning
May %. Mr.. Pope killed
black bear in Milton park, an hour and
half after leaving Cottage hotel. This bear
is supposed to be one of numerous fam
lily. several members of which have been
killed this season. The preparations the
Northern Pacific railroad has made for the
accommodation of tourists are excellent,

ducive to an increased travel to this cele-
brated and beautiful resort. The ascent of
Mount Schurtz was made earlier this sea-
son than ever before, party climbing the
height in the latter part of May. The snow
was quite deep all the way from the Glib
bon river to the monument of GeySer basin.
7. L. Panchat, the celebrated long distance
pedestrian, led the way up the mountain,
and the rest of the party followed in his
wake. at times breaking through the ice
capped snow and falling from view, crawl
ing out again the best way possible. The
wonderful activity Of this basin is undimin

is an active atomizer. The crater is about
three inches in diameter, and it is black as
the interior of any smoke vent. The steam
is elected with considerable force, which,
on coming in contact with the atmosphere,
cOndenses into fine rain and deposits the
material of which the cone is built. Some
idea of the vast time taken for the erection
of this one structure may be formed when
| it is estimated that 800 years will scarcely
suffice to build an inch, thus %, 800
years, according to estimation, have been
required to bring this cone to its present
height of eight feet. There are roaring
oIoaH VEINS, lHVlSlUle GIlp-lldmuleIS cIuSu-
ing the rock; chemical basins con-
verting them into various colored
paints, and over dozen ancient atomizing
cones, that resemble tombstones so much
as to give this basin its name, all to be
found on this mountain top, 1000 feet
above the Gibbon river. Tourists are ar
irving daily now in great numbers. Several
Raymond hitcome excursion parties have
| gone on. 1t is too early yet in the season
for the Union Pacific to bring any tourists
into the park. and those who arrive from
San Francisco came via Portland and the
Northern Pacific. Frank Evans, tourist
agent for the Northern Pacific escorts the
arrivals through the park showing them the
interesting sights. c. II. Davis, assistant
general passenger agent has been at the
park all spring managing the company's
