Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, June 17.-From the latest
information which comes from Bear
gulch it is learned that there is every
prospect for railroad to be built to
that camp from Cinnabar, about a
dozen miles away before the summer
is ended. Harry Bush, the president Ct
the Bear Gulch Mining company. says
that he will meet with the president of
the Northern Pacific Monday and pre-
sent the claims of the camp to an ex-
tension of the Park branch which is
built to Cinnabar. The wagon road now
leading to the camp is one of the best
in the county and was built by the COM
pany with few hundred dollars as
sistance from the county. 1t is stated
that the two stamp mills recently pur-
chased by the company will be in opc-
ration in a month or six weeks and
when this comes to pass it will not he
possible to handle the business to and
from the camp on the wagon road, as
the track is much too narrow and dam
gerous for teams to pass when they
meet with perfect safety. Mr. Bush
says he does not expect to have the rail-
road built for nothing and the COM
pany is willing to do what is right to
secure a railroad to the camp. The
business from the camp still continues
to grow and Livingston is benefited ac-
cordingly.
Congressman A. j. Campbell was in
the city for few hours to-day. He
has just returned from an extended
visit to his early home in Michigan and
the places where he studied for the le-
gal profession, won his first fee and
practiced for a number of years before
coming to the state which gave him
such an immense majority last fall. He
looks much improved from his sojourn
him from his extensive law practice
not only in the city of Butte, but
throughout Montana
The government purposes to construct
road to the Golden Gate in Wonder
land from Mammoth Hot Springs. The
work will begin the list of July, at
which time the government appropria-
ton will be available. The work done
so far this year has been performed
on a limited amount of money, far
from sufficient for the actual needs.
Those who came down on the Park
train this evening We're spectators at
a sight as piteous as the calamities of
life which come suddenly to the un-
prepared can afford. A young girl
named Katie Dunbar was employed at
the Cottage hotel in the park and to-
day received telegram that her pa
rents had been killed in the cyclone
which swept over New Richmond, Wis,
Tuesday of this week. The girl was
provided with transportation by the
hotel association. The journey nome,
while as sorrowful as it could well be,
is made doubly SO by the hysterical con-
dition of the girl, to whom the shock
of the sad news came with crushing
force.
Judge Bender. the police magistrate.
has SHOWN by his judicial severity in
administering the law against riding
bicycles on the sidewalks that all
scorchers look alike to him, and he
plays no favontes. The second arrest
and fine for breaking the rule was made
upon a prominent physician here, who
took spin on the walk while bordering
patients symptoms so studiously
that he forgot where he was at. He
was reminded dollars worth in Judge
Bender's court and allowed to go his
way.
Hobocs are forbidden from stealing
rides on trains on the Northern Pacific
by printed notices posted by the COM
pany. The warnings are headed ''Ho-
boes Take Warming" in letter so big
and black that he who runs may read,
and the "wayfaring man, though a fool,
need not err therein
