BOzenlan, April 3, 1900.
Today Bozeman has seen the first
snow storm that has visited the city in
several weeks. A heavy hail storm came
at an early hour in the afternoon, cover
ing the streets several inches deep with
singing particles of ice and driving the
people who happened to be on the streets
to the friendly shelter of doors and hall
ways. The skies soon cleared and the
weather esumed it's ordinary good be-
havior.
The gold brick man was in the city
today. He is f. H. Cowles of Park
county. and he is on his way to his
mines in the Boulder country from his
nome at WOODBURY.. Ore. AS far back
as "a Nh. CoWles was a dealer in cattle
in this valley and says he purchased in
that year 1000 head of cattle from
Charles Anceny of this county. paying
$50 per head for the animals. Since then
Mr.. Cowles has gone into the mining
business and has some fine properties on
the Boulder river in Park county He

and part of his business during his trip
to the coast was to submit a specimen of
the ore to an experienced tin miner. who
assayed the lump and pronounced it
about 20 per cent fine. Mr.. Co>vles had
a brick of gold in his possession that
came from his mine on the Boulder. It
weighed 10 ounces. 1t was part Of a
cleanup recently made at TIN mill, and
the owner carries the bar of gold as a
pocket piece.
In a few weeks an exodus will begin
from the city of Bozeman and Gallatin
county to the Klondike. About twenty
people will leave from here to seek their
fortunes in the tabled Ian Of gold on
the shores on the polar seas. Several
men who are not disposed to make the
trip themselves and have faith in the
country, have staked ~prospectors to the
cash required to make the journey and
stay a sufficient length of time to ascer-
tain if the stories told Of hidden fortunes
in the sands of the shores are true. Sew
eral parties from this city are already
at Cape Nome and speak well Of the
country.
The term examinations are under way
at the Montana state college. The col
lege will have three graduates this year
who will take diplomas in the courses of
the school in three months time. The
college is increasing it's membership
Ito take good positions in the work for
which it's practical courses fit them.
Bozeman is considerably behind the
times in the matter of bicycle ordinances.
Permission to ride on the sidewalks is
given by the laws of the city, and, except
in a very small portion Of the city. a side
walk Is a common thoroughfare for
wheels. Bozeman has a large number OF
elderly people in its population, and to
persons of advanced years a bicycle
rider. NO matter how cautious, is a con-
slant menace; but when they are beset
by scorchers, who ride without lamps or
bells and at a reckless rate of speed, the
danger is increased to an alarming extent
and narrow escapes from injury are fire.
