chase OF the Daisy mine at Cooke City
by Aaron p. Bliss and other Michigan
capitalists signalizes the near approach
of a bright day and the ushering in of
a more prosperous era for the patient
miners of the New World district. The
sale has awakened increased interest
in the many promising properties Of
the isolated camp and inspired the
owners Of the numerous rich claims
with new hope and new courage.
In an interview had to-day with
c. w. Anderson, one of the old-time
miners of Cooke, who has put in the
best years of his life developing his
properties in the New World district.
that gentleman spoke hopefully. even
enthusiastically. of the present out
look and ultimate future OF the famous

that Cooke City will take on a tre-
mendous boom next summer. and II
would not surprise me to see a thou
sand men in the camp before the close
of another season. The sale of the
Daisy 70 such pushing. energetic and
wealthy men as the Michigan syndi-
cate is composed OF means much for
the future of the New World dis
trict.

chase OF the Daisy was engineered on
the part of the syndicate by DR.. Leh-

rience. and under his management the
property will be developed this winter.

the mine and has a force OF Is men
engaged in running a tunnel TO tap

me II there were so men at work on
the property before next spring.

to erect a smelter next summer and
commence milling operations on an ex-
tensive scale. The parties are now ne
gotiating for the purchase of numer-
Gus other mines in the district, among

large sales to be made before long
Since the sale OF the Daisy a large
number of water rights and mill sites
have been acquired In various parts
of the district, and all the conditions
are favorable for a big boom in Cooke
next summer.
what do I think about the segre-
cation bill? Well, to tell the truth. I
don't think congress will ever pass n
i understand. however, that Congress-
man Hartman is going to make a hard
light at the coming session for the sue
cess of the measure. II he cannot Sc
cure Its passage this winter the chances
are that the bill will remain dead a
long time"
