In answer to the call made last week
by our citizens for the collection of ores
for shipment to eastern cities for exhibit
ton, the miners and proprietors responded
to man, the result being as nice a col
lection of ore as was ever sent cast 1of
that purpose. Robinson made lind
showing, the people of that place gather
ing ninety eight samples of about thirty
five pounds each from the leading mines
and prospects of their vicinity, while
Castle has some forty samples, all Of
which will be shipped next week. We
confidently predict large returns for the
expense and time attached to the gather
1rg and shipment of the ore, besides
showing the outside world that we have
here the finest ore in the country.
Yellowstone Park.
Washington special: The Northern
Pacific railroad company will, through
its agents, conduct the hotels in the
Yellowstone National Park for the
coming season. 1t seems to be the only
way by which tourists could be certain
Of finding good accommodations and
government be sure Of securing ade-
quate facilities for sightseers for whom
it is preserving this magnificent section
Of the public domain. Ever since the
Forest and Stream made it's criticism
upon the management OF the Park ho-
tells by the Yellowstone Park associa-
ton, operating under licenses made to
c. Gibson. the authorities have been
trying to get from Gibson some guar
antee that he would carry out the
terms Of his agreement. Gibson and
Casey have both been here a good part
Of the winter, but while several confer
ences have been held, the secretary OF
the interior states that no satisfactory
arrangement with Gibson could be ar
rived at. Meantime the railroad COM
panv, which owns the buildings, Sc
cured their transfer from the trustee,
who some time ago bought them in for
the road, and, as the tourist season was
opening, was bound in self defense to
take hold and open the hotefs. Captain
Harris, the military superintendent OF
the park, notified the secretary OF the
interior that this had been done, and 1t
is believed that the action OF the road
will receive the full sanction Of the sec
retary. The railroad company can for
the benefit Of its passenger service at
ford to conduct the hotels at loss.
This view has been urged upon the sec
retary several times by the friends Of
the park. and it is believed that the
road will be allowed to conduct the
hotels. 1t is known that the authori-
ties look upon this solution of the prob
lem with relief and admit the logic OF
the argument in favor of putting all
these leases in the hands of the railroad
company under proper restrictions 1t
looks very much now as though the
Vest Yellowstone Park bill will not
become law this session.
