character. One of the many letters we
have read is from Mr.. +. M. Talcott, of
Livingston another from banker Post,
and other well-known and reliable men.
This firm has placed rods upon the
school house at Livingston, and has
done satisfactory work fer Postmaster
Wustom, of Billings, and also for VIM
Wright, of Livingston These gentle
men inform us that they propose tt
carry on their business here in straight
forward manner, and to demonstrate b,
tests the value of their rods. They pro
nose to do work that will be ornament
al, as we'll as useful, and in every case t.
give satisfaction in every particular, o
no money need be paid for the job. MI

The gang of toughs who were arrested
at the depot and sentenced for twenty
days in the county jail, have been exer-
cising during the past week on the wood
pile behind the court house, much to
their .disgust. But the threat of put
ting them In the cages with a diet of
bread and water, brought them to
realization of the fact that it was better
to work than to 60 hungry. One of them
was lead to remark that, "ye take us foi
va-s, don't yer?' All are young men
about the same aye and wore good
clothes. Deputy Sheriff Anderson was

Water Works.
Mr.. Bement Arrives from Duluth and Looks
Over the Field.

Mr.. Bement, the gentleman who put |
in and operates the water works at Du-
luth. Superior, and other points in Min
nesota, arrived in Bozeman on Monday
morning, and, in company with Walter
Cooper, looked over the ground here,
with the view of putting in water-works
under the Cooper ordinance. After
spending the day here, Mr.. Bament left
for st. Paul, where he will consult his
lawyer, and obtain his opinion on each
OF the water-works ordinances. MIR.
Bement will then make his proposition
to the city, accompanied by 5000
bond that he will commence and COM
plete the work in thorough manner,
and at a specified. Mr. Bement, as one
can readily see, is thorough business
man, and has no desire to trifle with our
people. He says that eisht'inch pipe
would be large enough for the present
needs of the city, but believes it advis'
able to put IN ten-inch pipe, and 4
he puts in the works, will ship three
miles of such pipe from Duluth at once.
Mr.. Bement is an experienced water
works man, and we are satisfied that
he will put in works that will be of the
very best character, as his system Is the
very latest approved pattern. We hope
to be able to say next week that MIR
Bement has been authorized to under
take the job, feeling confident that he
will then commence work and hurry i
it to completion.
Those of our citizens who conversee
with him were more than favorable i'm
pressed with his manners and his mod'
of procedure. He is a member of a com
pany quoted in Bradstreet's as worth
quarter of Il million and will not erec
, the works for speculative purposes, no
will he be under the necessity of waitin
for money from eastern capitalists.

: for the council to make arrangement
, with Mr.. Bement.

Great Mining Deal.

From what we can gather from varl-
OILS sources we are convinced that a
mining deal of great importance to Boze-
man has been consumated. We failed to
gain any information from an interview
with Walter Cooper on this subject, but
the fact that gentleman has been in
his office for the past ten DAYS and the
many trips taken by this gentleman west
of Bozeman, together with the fact
that large orders have been placed for
mining timbers, provisions &c. engineers
carpenters, laborers, woodchoppers and
have been employed and sent to w
Coopers mine, Sc ems evident suilicien'
that extensive work is contemplated.
