More money will be expended for
building operations in Dillon this sea-
son than in any other previous year.
Before snow flies this city will be able
to boast of two more public ediaces-
a county high school building and the
normal dormitory. Both structure will
be substantial adornments for our en-
terprising city. Several dozen handsome
residences will also be constructed and
one or more substantial brick business
blocks. Dillon already enjoys the repu-
tation of being the best and most sub
stantially built town in Montana. From
all indications now at hand her citizens
propose to maintain this record in the
future. Slowly, but surely. Dillon Is

COOKE IS A POOR MANS CAMP
A Million Dollars or Nothing I.
One Claim Holders

Cooke City. Park county, is preparing
to enjoy a boom. According to the Red.
odge Democrat, it is going to have a
railroad and Lfollow its completion with
the development Of the mines there
abouts. r't-
The ore around Cooke county, it Is
said. lies in large bodies, considerable Of
it running into free milling ore. The
lodges are wide and we'll defined and Of
the character to indicate assure veins.
so far as they have been followed they
have improved with depth. The Daisy"
mine has a 10-stamp mill and recently
shipped a gold brick from the free milling
ore 1t has worked. 1t is said that there
are thousands Of tons Of good ore on the
dumps Of both the Daisy and Black War
rior, another promising mine. There are
other promising claims with plenty Of ore
on the dump which only need the means
of transportation and dividend payers.
Soome of the ore runs as high as $106 In
gold and copper.
Cooke City may well be called "poor
mans camp" With the exception of the
large companies mentioned, most OF the
men holding claims are poor men. But
they have faith in the camp ana are
holding on to their claims like grim
death. While too poor to do development
work, they can keep up their assessment
work and hold the price of their prospect
at a good stiff figure. One claimant. 1t Is
said, refuses to take less than million
dollars for his claim. although he was Of
fered what seemed big price. This IL
illustrates the great faith those interested
have in the future Of the camp. Tney
feel that il it is waiting game the re-
