Livingston, May Z.
Mr.. Ware p. Gay, manager of the Nom =
tana Coal & Coke ompany was in the
city Saturday evening on his way to
Butte and met a number of business men
at the Rocky Mountain club rooms to talk
over the proposition of erecting a smelter
IN this city. Mr.. Gay stated that the first
thing for the business men to do would
be to ascertain what amount of ore could
be guaranteed in case a smelter was
erected and that if one hundred tons
daily were guaranteed there would be no
trouble in inducing capitalists to invest
their money as smelters all over the state
are making big profits and have more
than they can do, in fact a great deal Of
ore is being shipped from Montana, Colo
RADIO and Idaho to the eastern smelters
for treatment. A hundred ton smelter
would cost about $4,000 and could be en-
larged as the demand would justify. A
surplus of $50, coo would be necessary for
purchasing and other expenses to start
with. There is not a shadow of doubt, but
what a hundred tons of huxing ore could
be secured from the Cooke City. Bear
Gulch. %Emisrant. Boulder and Castle
camps and if necessary an unlimited
amount of ore could be secured from
Butte and other points in Idaho and Colo
RADIO. There is no better location to be
found for a smelter than at Livingston
with it's abundance of water power and
fuel and in fact every requirement for a
proposition of this kind in close proxi-
nifty. Now is the time for the business
men to take concerted action in this mat

able how many tons could be guaranteed
daily and other information that would
tend to help the project along. If an eff
fort is made in this direction there is
every probability that before next fall a
smelter viii be in course of erection here.
About 3 o'cloc Sunday morning Louie
Hansen. the night Waterman, noticed
the shadow of two men moving around in
the rear of Miles hardware store. He
concluded that the place was being bur-
glarized. and Immediately sent for Sher-
in Young, Pete Nelson and Frank Bel
lar, who were awakened from their
peaceful slumbers and hulriedly dressed
to be in on the capture of the supposed
burglars. The store was surrounded by
the officers and the parties inside were
told to come out and submit to arrest
peacefully or they would filled full of
lead. The officers nearly had a fit when
it was discovered that the supposed bur
glars were two of Mr.. Miles clerks who
were working rather late owing 10 a
rush of business. It was while his lit
tie episode was going on that the store
Of Leopold Brothers was broken into by
real burglars.
Burglars entered the store of Leopold
Brothers Sunday morning and took away
two suits of clothes .cd two pair OF
shoes. They also broke oInn the cash
drawer. from which thay got sl.3o. They
gained admission by breaking the bolts
on the doors in the rear of the store.
They were evidently acquainted with the
surroundings and knew just where they
were going.
