n correspondents in Montana speak
truthfully. the gold yield OF thar Terri
tory exceeds that OF any other portion
of the world, and is largely on the in
crease Las year. according 10 the
most reliable estimate, the yield was
even twenty millions. aud This year il is
claimed that there will be an increase
of fully iiity per cent even on this im-
mense amount. Tho mines and dig
gings are said to be inexhaustiblc, those
longest worked proving as rich in yield
to>day as when first discovered. But
the wealth of the Territory is not cons
fined 10 gold. Rich veins of silver have
also been discovered, and are being
worked with great profit. Iron, tin and
copper have been found in various parts
of the Territory. Coal of the best quail
ity for manufacturing and domestic pur-
poses is found. Three and a half mil-
lion of acres of farming land of the
choicest quality are embaced within it's
limits, on which rich, luxuriaut and nu-
tricioPs grasses grow without care. As
a grazing country il has no superior
Already large number of persons have
turned their attention TO stock raising
and grazing. This season fifty thou
sand head of cattle have been grazed at
no other expense 10 the owners than the
attendance necessary 10 prevent the
animals from straying. The beef is
represented 10 be sweet, tender, Juicy
and far superior 10 that which
is generally found in the markets
OF the Eastern cities. The climate
and soil appear 10 be edapted toagricul-
tural and horticultural operations of ev-
cry kind. The cereal crops harvested
the past season were Of the finest quali-
~. and in point of yield greatly exceeds
ed the expectations OF the farmers The
yield of potatoes. carrots. turnips. beets
and other vegetables were double that
of any other year, while the average of
the wheat crop is estimated by General
Meredith ar forty bushels to the acre.
This seems almost Incredible when the
fact is stated that an average yield per
acre of the States east of the Mississippi
does not exceed twelve bushels, aud that
OF England thirty bushels. Fruit grows
ing. although in its infancy. bids fair to
become a prominent avOcation. Straw
berries. raspberries, blackberries and
other small fruits, grow almost sponta-
neously; wild plums of the finest quality
abound in the greatest profusion APP

er fruit trees grow vigorously and give
promiss of being prolific bearers The
water is superior and abundant. TIM
ber is plentiful and Of all sizes and quail

reported. il must be perfect paradise,
and with the completion of the Union

one of the most popnlous. as IL will Ger
tainly be one of the wealrhiest of the

AUSTRALIAN MINING STATISTICS
During the past year there were 470
steam engines employed in Australia in
alluvial mining. and 532 in quartz min
ing. The aggregate power is 20.000~
horse, and the rated value ten millions
OF dollars. The export of gold Cor 1867
was nearly thirty millions, of which
about hve-eighths were from aIluvial
and three>eighths from quartz mines
The rated value of all the gold claims is
thirty seven and halt millions of dol
lars. The whole amount of gold raised
from the first discovery of gold TO Jan.
1st. 1868, was $3.50. .0O0, 900.
The entire gold field extends $50 miles
east and west and $50 miles north and
south With regular supplies OF water
it is urged the gold product would be
greatly increased The government has
undertaken TO furnish ample water. by
means of works on grand scale, now
under contract, and the calculation il
that no mining ground shall be without
plenty of cheap water at all seasons.
