will he the construction of slmeIters al
Bear creek and the shipping Of the ore
from Cooke to that point for reduction.
The only definite information obtain
able concerning the plans of this survey
ing party which, with the chain gang,
numbered thirteen in ALL was that their
work Of survey will probably take them
about thirty days, and that their first
camp will be on Clarke Fork, this side Of
the canyon. and that they will work up
from there. The entire party left Red
Lodge, with their complete outfit, on
Tuesday morning.
An additional assurance of the relil-
bility Of the project comes from the we'll
known fact that Mr.. Hall not long ago
made an agreement with the principal
owners of claims in Cooke, that he was
to have a half interest in ;lltheir claims
provided he gets railroad into Cooke
within four years. That makes Messrs
Gallagher, Lamport and Hall all vitality
Interested in seeing the railroad a go.
Here's to their complete success and
the speedy fguition Of the hopes Of the
citizens Of Cooke.

to Cooke Many of the original locat-
ors have held their claims until death
foreclosed a mortgage on all their ener=
gies and all their earthly prospects,
Many others, endowed with a faith
which is characteristic Of the men who
have developed the great west, have kept
their original locations and performed
their annual quota Of assessment work
for twenty years and more, hoping that
some day a railroad would come and
make them rich.
A history of the many futile attempts
to make this dream happy reality
would FIJI volumes. Every possible means
has been tried to effect it. Congress has
been petitioned time and again to allow
a right Of way through the National
Park which, without doubt, is the most
feasible route Of all. But the eastern
/ lobbyists and extreme sentimentalists,
who deplored the sdesecration' OF the
Park, the ssmarring of its scenery, the
frightening away Of its wild game, etc,
were powerful enough to put d 4uietus
to that proposition. Likewise the plan
of segregating portion Of the Park was
also defeated And all this time the un=
bounded resources Of nature have been
lying there at Cooke, awaiting the devel-
opment which will some day come to
them. Surely the faith of those who
have held on through all Of these dis
couragements is worthy Of emulation IN
all enterprises.
But there comes a time in history
which ends such periods of waiting, and
it seems that in this case the future is
every day bringing that time nearer t.
/ Cooke. There are at present two sep
arate projects in view for the construc
ton of railroad to the eypectant little
city in the mountains. The one that has
perhaps reached the most advanced stage
is crystallized in the construction work
of the Burlington company, which IS nov
pushing its grade work from Taluca in ;
general southwest direction through Big
Horn Basin, touching at Cody anc
Eagles Nest and pointing onward to
ward Sunlight Basin and Cooke. It i
5 vet impossible to tell when the lattel
tpoints will be reached. But the eviden
intention of the Burlington people is t
strike on through to the coast, skirtins
along the edge Of the National Park, ane
there is no apparent possibility of thei
failing to reach Cooke within a reason
able length of time.
From another direction, too, comes
project which gives great hope of sue
cessful development. Monday a party o
surveyors arrived in Red Lodge. At tn
