aud Railroads to Be.

LIVINGSTON, Mont, April 1.-The
breaking up of the winter finds the
people of this section possessed of even
more than their ordinary supply of
enthusiasm regarding the future, not
only of this city and its immediate
vicinity, but of the entire surrounding
country. The mining camps are all
alive to the added assurances which
have come to them by the developments
OF the past four months. Less snow
has fallen than for many years past:
good frelghtng still goes on without
interruption, and the advent of the
Chinook winds may any day see the
country poisoning out into its wonted
pictureSqueneSS.
Some little disappointment is felt in
Cooke City, to which your correspond
ent has recently made a somewhat eX-
tended trip, concerning the fate of the
segregation bill; but not even all earth
quake would disturb the equan unity of
the people of that future Denver of the
Northwest. Already they are preparing
to Ego one better" on the segregation
plan. They have secured the passage
through the state Legislature of law
providing for the construction of an
electric road from Red Lodge to Cooke,
a distance of thirty-two miles, which
will give them the outlet they need for
their steadily accommodating stores OF
ore now remaining piled on the dump.
Mr.. Henry Willard, who is largely in
terested in the coal mines of Red Lodge,
is understood to be in active co-opera-
ton with the projectors of the new cleo
trio road. All who know anything of
the principal features of the National
park are aware that the grandest mount
ain scenery in the world is visible at the
eastern side of the park. The new road
will open an outlet through the national
pleasure ground in the vicinity of
Cooke, by way of Yancey's, through the
Soda Butte and East Forks valley;
+ thence over Mount WaShburne to Vel
IoWstone lake, and return by way of the
Geysers and Mammoth Hot Springs.
Under the charter the road must be
built within year, and it is generally
understood by those on the inside that
there is much more involved In the en-
terprise than can be explained in any
| newspaper article.
Many good strikes of ore have been
made during the winter by the miners
of Cooke. Burke Brothers made big
strike of very rich ore OH the Miners
Delight" property at depth of sixty
five feet, and the substantial body of
pay rock in sight is most encouraging.
Il. r. Holland has stocked his ~. S.
Treasury" mine for $500, 900, and is tax
ing out some exceedingly rich ore.
good proportion being a high grade
ruby silver. The ore from this mine
will either be smelted at Cooke or
shipped to outside smelters, and prom
lses large output during the coming
season.
The new Cyanide mill is in constant
operation and is more of a success than
its owners anticipated. The output of
the mine is expected to reach S1,0U0
day or upwards IN gold bullion. A week
or so before | left Cooke | witnessed
what is in mining parlance called "a
cleanup" of this mill on the Alice E''
property. 1t was the result of six
teen days run, and the result in gold
product was of my knowledge over
$4,000. 1t was at once forwarded to the
Livingston National bank of this city,
and thence, as l learned today, was ex-
Hpssed to the United States mint at
Omaha. This cleaning-up process will
take place hereafter semi-mOnthly, and
at the next operation of the kind it is
contemplated to embody $4,000 or SIS
