LIVINGSTON, March Park county is
10 have n court house at last; that is a
settled fact. This much mooted question
was settled yesterday at special meet
ing of the board of county commissioners.
Bids were received from four different
parties and the contract was let TO ii. D.
Wocott for $1,000. Although tho contem-
plated edlfice will not be "a very imposing
one it will be large enough for the present
needs and in the end will be a saving to
the county, which has paid out enough in
rent in the past eight years to have butt
a court house that would be a credit to the
city and county.
The site selected is not as central as it
might be, but this will be obviated in the
near future, when this city receives the
impetus that will surely be given II by the
development of the matchless resources
with which nature has so lavishy sur
rounded her on every hand. somewhat
removed though the square may now De
! from the business portion OF the clty' IL
| wilfno remain so many years, Tor l. V
| ingston's future growth is assured ana
| she is destined at no distant day 10 as
sumo her rghtful position IN the grand
galaxy of Montlna's metropolitan cities.

clerk and recorder and county commits
sioners. The second floor will contain a
court room 4Ox43, two jury rooms and of
fees for the district judge and clerk OF

Dave Noble. one of the old time miners
| OF Cooke City and now a resident OF tins
| city. has secured n bond on a group OF Il
| quartz claims in the Crevasse district for
a party of New York and Boston parties.
The bond runs for ono year and the first
payment is to be made the LIST OF May.
The entire consideration IS S2O,OOJ. Ihe
claims adjoin the property OF the Crevice
Mountain Mining g. Milling company and
considerable development work has al
ready been done on them. One of the
claims has a tunnel in 20 feet and another
a tunnel in 90 feet. The bond has been
sent to New York for approval. and as
soon as the details of the deed are ar
ranged the work of developing the bonded
properties will be commenced on an ex'
tensive scale. MIR. Noble says the mining
outlook for the coming season on the Up
per Yellowstone is very promising and he
looks to see the camps of Emigrant and
Crevasse take on quite a boom before an
other year rolls around. Although he
owns n large number of claims in Cooke
City and other camps he is strongly OPP
posed to the reenactmcnt of the non-for
fixture law. Tho effect of the law last
year was to deprive resident miners oil
Park county of about 100, which they
could have earned by doing development
work for non-residents who own mining
claims in this county.
