COOKE Letter.

After long waiting and many false
rumors, the people of Cooke now have
the pleasure of seeing the Republic
smelter in operation. On Monday Feb.
LIST, Mr.. Perry T. Morgan, the superin-
tendent Of the R. NJ. Co., instructed his
employees to be on hand ready to begin
charging. The men were somewhat
astonished at being told to come back in
the evening; and up to the last minute
no one was sure whether start would
be made or another indefinite postpone
ment ordered. However, at 4:30 p. m.
the fires were started, and at six o'clock
the furnace was charged.
Enough bullion to fill the lead well
was purchased from the old smelter.
Mr.. ]. Humphrey, brother-in-law of
Mr.. r. Richard, has charge of the smelt-
er and assaying. The present charging
consists Of one ton iof lead ore to FIVE
of the Republic ore.
After fourteen hours everything is rum
ming in the most satisfactory manner,
except the 100000 ditch, in that the
water still refuses to run up hill, and the
water necessary for the jacket and boil
ers has to be pumped from the creek.
The R. M. Co. have on hand at the
smelter about one Thousand tons of diff
ferent ores, fifty tons of Pennsylvania
coke and a very large supply of coal.
The present run will probably last about
two weeks; what will be done after that,
is not definitely known. In speaking
with supt. Morgan this morning, he tells
me ne has no doubt of every success in
this run.
Mrs. H. Gassert has arrived home
after visit of three weeks among the
metropolitans.
l understand that Gassert & Black
will atop work on the Shoe Fly, lately
bonded by them. The same company
has reduced their force on the Black
Warrior
1t is rumored that G. d B. have
ordered a fifty ton water jacket smelter.
The Young America still improves as
the work progresses.
Mr.. Frank Esler has men at work on
his claims taking out ore, so as to be
able to make an early run in the spring
with the old smelter.
Maj F. Pease of Livingston, came up
this week, looking up his mining inter-
ests.
There is no use denying this being
snowy country, four feet of snow being
on the ground around the camp. Min
ers coming down from the mountains
report some eight and ten feet. We
have been having for the past two weeks
some of the worst billiards / have ever
seen.
For the past forty days it has been |
COMMUNICATIVE sun not being |
visible for an hours duration.
There are more men in camp than can
get work. and it would be well for labor
ers not to come in here just at present,
unless they have money enough to carry
hem for a couple of months at least.
Fred. Alderman, the boss barber Of
Montana, came in on to-day's coach.

BUILDING NOTES.


Architect Hodson of st. Paul has been
given the contract to draw the plans and
specifications for Nelson storys house.
W. H. Babcock of Bozeman, will have
charge OF its construction The house,
for which the foundation is already laid,
will be of brick and stone, two stories
high, with mansard Roof, making it real
ly three stories high. It win cost $780,
600.
J. S. Mendenhall's house on Central
avenue, will be in the center of five lots
"a beautiful site around which trees
are already growing. The cost of the
house we have not yet ascertained, but
in style and beauty it win be an object
Of admiration.
Gen. L. S. Wilson already has the
lumber and stone on his site, at the cor
ner of Central avenue and Babcock
street. It will conform in style and cost
to the class of handsome and comfort
able homes that viii hereafter be erected
in Bozeman by our well-to-do citizens.
Probate Judge Hartman will build
commodious residence ON central avenue.
Mr.. Dan Maxey has concluded to build
during 1886, and is already preparing to
begin work. The house will correspond
to Mr.. Maxey's means, and win be an
ornament to that portion of the city
where he now resides
Hon. +. K Armstrong will build some
time during the summer, but just whore,
we are at present unable to say. Mr.. Arm
strong has already owned two very good
houses in Bohemian, and it can be relied
upon that the next one he builds for a
home, viii combine the beauties of mod
ern architecture and the comforts that
experience has taught its owner.
Mr. S. Ruffner has already had his
plans prepared for large dwelling house
near town.
DIR. A. ]. Hunter is at present domi-
ciled in the Casterline residence, but will
no doubt build before next winter.
Frank Vreeland is building a residence
on his lots adjoining Hon. |. n Evans
property on Church street.
Mayor Foster is building a house on
Mendenhall streee, near Tracy's
Within plain sight Of this new dwell
ing, Contractor Archambault is building
himself residence.
There are many others who contem-
plate building during the year. In fact,
the year 1886 promises to be one of great
activity in the building line, and what is
still better, the class of houses will not
be those especially advantageous for the
means Of ventilation they afford, but for
their elegance and substantiability.
Among the business houses to be
erected, is that Of F. i. Benepe, on the
corner Of Main and Central avenue.
This building win be mostly composed
Of stone and win be 6Ox10O feet, two
stories high.
On the opposite corner Of the same
streets, Col. Ed. r.. Ferris will erect
large hardware store, machinery hall and
numerous warehouses running back one
whole block.
While not yet fully decided, it is prob
able chat T. G. Power 4 Go. win build on
the lots directly opposite Col. Ferris on
Main street; and If they conclude to do
50, we may expect a fine, substantial
building

Hodson, the St. Paul architect. has
resigned the superintendency of the
Helena court house, to take similar
position on Nelson Story's residence in
Bozeman. We trust the Helenaites will
not feel hard at this piece of enterprise,
as we can assure them that nothing
detrimental to their court house is
meant. The fact that an architect threw
up $15O,O0O public building in Helena
to take 100000 private residence in
Bozeman, speaks volumes for the archi-
tect's good judgment. Imported talent
comes high, but Bozeman must have it.

AN OUTRAGEOUS PROCEEDING.


On Monday morning about four o'clock
Deputy District attorney Campbell was
awakened from his slumber by an indi-
vidual who bore the appearance Of hay-
ing just passed through a threshing
machine. His head and face were Gov
cred with blood, his clothes torn and
muddy, his entire makeup the sorriest
the now thoroughly awakened attorney
had ever gazed upon. The unrecogniz-
able visitor proved to be Mr.. w. Ulin of
Spring Hill, an unmarried music teacher,
His story was soon related and is about
as follows; On Sunday night he was
teaching music to large class at Grange
Hall, about fifteen miles from Bozeman,
when the door was suddenly thrown
open and band of masked men, armed
with shot guns, reyolyers and knives
entered, ordering him to follow them.
This he refused to do, and consequently
was at once seized and borne out of doors.
AT this coniuneture Mr. Henry Davis,
one of his pupils, interfered and endeay-
ored to snatch away gun belonging to
one of the intruders. This resulted IN
scufle, terminating in Mr.. Davis pulling
off the mask of one of his assailants;
whereupon the exposed member Of the
gang threw himself out of the window
without waiting to raise the sash, which
went along with him. Ulin claims to
have been hit about the same time on
the head with revolver. He says he
was then dragged to an empty cabin on
JAS. Kennedy's ranch, where a rope was
placed about his neck, but that in the
struggle he freed himself and threw the
rope where it could not be found for
some time. In the meantime the leader
became fearful lest the people at the hall
would arm and follow, and ordered mum.
Der "3 and Z" to bring the horses to the
door, whereupon the entire party hastily
mounted and rode away. Ulin swore out
complaints against eleven men whom be
says he knows were with the party, and
Judge Hartman ordered that they be-
arrested at once. At this writing the
officers are after the accused.
