who have made these mountain states,
tho clothed in rough boots and overalls
and slouched hats, are thousandfold
more wonderful than spouting, boiling
springs, great wormy trout and bears,
which never eat anybody, and buffaloes
which are never seen save by guides and
soldiers.
But by whatever route the railroad
may come the miners of the New World
district will give it ample work in freight
Of coke and bullion.
Four routes have been proposed. One
by Gardiner and the Yellowstone and
Soda Butte creek, one by the Saltwater,
one by Rocky Fork, and one by Clark's
Fork. Let it come by either route thous-
ands of miners will be made happy and
prospectively rich by the snort of the
iron horse with his iron lungs full of
steam.

wayfarer has to pay extra for tickets
which will allow him to stop over at the
interesting locations, but on this route
from Cinnabar to Cooke City the fortu-
nate tourist is not only permitted to stop
over where interesting things should re-
ceive his attention, but he is compelled
by all the usual means of conveyance to
80 stop over as to consume three days
and two nights in travelling sixty miles,
This is not only unusual, but very kind
to the tourist, who thinks he should
make this trip in one day, and who would
thereby lose the hospitalities Of the
Mammoth Hot Springs, Yancy's ranch
and Clark's station at Soda Butte, and
at all these places the hospitalities are
most delightful. At Mammoth Hot

grand in the extreme. Soda Butte is
truly wonderland, where the tourist
will enjoy all we have mentioned.
But all the wonders will remain even
should the railroad pass up Soda Butte
creek.
Wonder Fifth-From Soda Butte we
have series Of mountain ranges grand
and glorious. These grand old noun
tains will probably stay even should the
railroad pass up this valley and give
thousands more the privilege of seeing
them and the rich mines whose ores will
yield golden streams of the precious
metals to freight the road and enrich the
world.
And these are all the wonders" of this
wonderland" which railroad UP the
Yellowstone to Cooke City would enable
the tourist to see with less expense than
now.
How then can a congressman refrain
from SO changing the boundaries of the
National park as to let the railroad pass
up the Yellowstone and Soda Butte to
the great mining camp Of Cooke City.
&C. SWALLOW.

We have number of prospective
mining camps in Park county. Among
the youngest are those situated in the
Boulder 'unorganized" mining district
adjoining sisters to Cooke on the north
st,-the oldest of which are the placer
claims on Basin creek, q tributary to the
main Boulder, and the gold Eearing
quartz to the left Of the placers on Bot
tom mountain. William Langford, Seth
Porter and Albert Schmidt were the first
to make permanent locations. They left
Saltwater in the fall Of 70 for Butte.
Cold weather was coming on and, arriv-
ing at Shields river, they remained over
with Dave Carpenter. Dave advised
them to remain over during tho winter,
telling them Of the reports that Hayden
and his party had brought in in 70 Of
finding gold at the headwaters Of the
Boulder. They stopped over during the
winter and in the spring Of 70 started
for the Boulder country by the way Of
Mission creek. They prospected ON their
way up but found nothing in paying
quantities until they reached Basin
creek. They also found gold quartz on
the creek which they traced to Bottom
mountain. In going to Bozeman for q
supply Of grub and reporting their sue

George Stull, the senior proprietor ,of
this establishment, is a gentleman we'll

Coming to Livingston in 1887 he opened
an establishment with James Fowlie ON

Henry Frank, the subject of this
sketch, is one of Livingston's first mer-
chants in his line Of business. Before
the advent Of the Northern Pacific, Mr..
Frank had established himself as the
leading clothier in the old town. EARLY
in the spring Of 1883 he built the first
brick ever erected in Livingston, On
Park street and removed his stock Of
goods thereto. Here he enjoyed d three
years season Of prosperity. His bust
ness, in that time, assuming such pro
portions that he deemed it advisable to
remove to Main street. and he accord
ingly established himself in his present
location, where he has enjoyed con-
tinued success in the clothing and mer-
chant tailoring line. The stock of goods
carried by this gentleman ia fully worthy
OF the large patronage he has enjoyed.
1t has been carefully selected with q
view to the western trade and the heavy
clothing required by
hunters, miners, cowboys. ranchmen and
prospectors are found in full assort-
ment in Mr.. Franks stock. He also
carries full lines Of ready made clothing
to suit any taste or requirement, as also
hats, caps. boots and shoes, underwear,
collars, cuffs and neckwear. In connec
tion with this is also a merchant tailor
ing department where garments arc
made to order, to the satisfaction Of all
customers. He will make a suit of
clothes and guarantee them equal to
any of eastern manufacture. Mr..
Franks tailoring business has lately
increased to such an extent that it nec-
essitates the employment of number
OF experienced tailors. The store room
of Henry Frank on Main street is large
and commodious, and is located where
it readily commands custom Moreover,
the reduced prices at which he holds his
goods has given his establishment y
reputation throughout the county that
brings him the handsome trade he re-

Artists tell us there is very little beauty
in rectilenear boundaries. But il the
above named streams above Gardiner be
made the boundary, the artistic taste OF
all tourists will be cultivated and graft

mines along this northern boundary Of
the park; but the miners can not tell and
no one can tell where the boundary does
run. and the miner may be driven from
his discovery and his mill erected in
good faith, by soldier who can only
guess at the position Of an imaginary
line in it's course over mountains aud
valleys without metes or blazes. There
are parties now who would erect q mill

Jail for Sparrow.feedinr.

There are some comparatively small
evils that become the hobbies Of promi-
nent men, and are magnitied to absurd
importance. One Of these il the Eng
iish sparrow, which was recently at
tackled by the United States govern
Esent in costly illustrated volume of
over four hundred pages, issued as
bulletin one by the department of agri-
culture. This was making good deal
OF the sparrow, but the New York Herald
lately remarked that in New York il
was apparently lawful to send line
man to instant death, but a man who
feeds sparrow may be fined or i'm
prisoned. To a doubling inquirer the
Herald replies that the sparrow law
referred to was passed in June, 1857, as
amendment TO chapter i27 of the laws of
1886. 1t says:
Tho English or European house sparrow
fuSser domesttcasl is not included among
the birds protected by this act, and il shall
be considered a misdemeanor To inten-
tionally give food or shelter to the same.
For the misdemeanor a person may be
sent to prison for thirty days, or fined fifty
dollars. Like many very foolish laws
this one il of course destined TO eternal
sIumber, but 1t is hard 10 imagine n
more grotesque spectacle than that af-
forded by the New York Legislature sit
ting under the dangerous ceiling of the
palatial capitol at Albany and grayely
trying to make the humane assistance
OF freezing or starving sparrow
punishable oflense. And yet in the gov
ernment book on sparrows above re-
ferred to we find seriously recommended
the enactment of laws making il mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment,O or both to Intentionally give
food or shelter TO the English sparrow
except with n view to its ultimate de-
struction. The sparrow crusaders nobly
urge the states to punish all who give
imprisoned crumbs to that fearful little
bird from England. No doubt he is a
nuisance, but so is the tramp, aud vet no
one thinks of Furnishing those who aid
the latter.

EpisoN comes back from Europe with

Americans and reports that the Germans
have taken to electric lighting with skill

his expectations are fulfilled the water
powers, ,which have have lost much of their
value in this age Of steam, are destined to
recover 1t, for perhaps before long power
can be collected automatically, and trans
mitted by wire for ten or twenty miles, at
no cost save the tending and repairing Of

teresting to reflect on the way that all this
food is paid tor by Europe. England, for
example, gives US wool from South
America as part of the exchange, but wo
do not get dollars worth of wool for a
dollars worth of wheat because our gov
ernment charges ten cents pound
for permission tp import this raw ml-
terial. II may also he observed that
tho government don't want the ten
cents and only takes il from force

so rich that IL is actually granting pen

II may be said that the ten cents enables
The American farmer To sCll wool, but if il
were not levied our wooden mills could en-
ploy many more people who would COM
sume farm products, the farmer would get
cheaper clothes, and our manufactured
goods might be traded in South America for
the wool that we must now import by way
of England.
