From FYIday's Daily.

FROM rnuays Oally-
HOME MANUFACTUREs.-W are too
often disposed to speak in Mandatory terms of
Eastern manufactures and entirely overlook
the facilities our own Territory presents
Thus we do a great injustice, not only TO
those gentlemen who have invested their cap
ital among US and are interested In the manus
factures of our city, but to the best interests
of our Territory. We plead guilty, in a
measure, to this disposition, but it has been
through n want of information in regard to
the extent of these establishments We ewere
somewhat surprised, terminating 4 stroll
the other day at ChaS. Hendrie's foundry, to
see the magnitude of the shops, the number
of workmen employed, and the facilities for
turning out all kinds of iron work with the
greatest dispatch. This establishment con
slsts Of a moulding, pattern, latheg iron and
machine room. In all of these departments
full corps of mechanics busily
engage in their several vocations. We saw
castings of almost every variety, from pom
derous parts of n quartz mill to delicate me
chanisms for Wheeler & Wilson. Scattered
around the shop were engines, boilers, mills,
and large variety of machinery brought for
repairs Within all was hustle, energy and
labor. It strongly reminded US OF the states,
and up from the spot rose the ham that in
dustry sends forth, melodIOus witlI wealth TO
the mechanic, the capitalist and the country.
We are assured that this establishment can
turn out a quartz mill better adapted TO the
reduction of ore than can be manufactured at
any establishment East. Mr.. Hendrie has
made the working of quartz a study, and his
success has demonstrated the fact that he un>
derstands 1t thoroughly. We are satisfied
that If those who design embaTking In the
enterprise of erecting quartz mills would pay
a visit to this establishment, they would save
Il trip East, secure a better mill and be doing
a public benefit TO the Territory. All kinds
of machinery is beiIg z daily repaired here and
the rapidly increasing business which necessl-
tates the employment of more wOrkmen, 1T
tests the benefit these works are to Montana.
FROM GERMAN GULCH.-The prepa>
rations for summer operations are going on
actively. Lumber is piled up all along the
gulch and carpenters steadily employed max
Ing boxes. A large amount of blocks are
cut, and the ring of the crosscut saw Is heard
on the hills every day, turning out more.
Edwards 4 Co. have already laid few hun
dred feet of lume, and the Yureka Company
have near as much The big ditch is compile
ted, all but some fuming and the finishing
of few feet of tunnel. A radical change
in business has taken place. Mr.. Fleeser has
taken into partnership Mr.. w. Ray, and a
better man could not have been found in
camp. Mr.. l.. Foster Is now connected with
Low and Son, and all look well under the
new order of things. Their store now com
pares well In neatness with any IN Helena.
You remember the circumstance of Mr.. Low
losing a large sum of money last August, OF
which mention was made la the PosT, and
some innocent person being suspected of hav-
ing stolen it. Well, it Is only due to let IL
be known that In pulling down an old bunk

proof stone structures to the card of Mr.. Jas.
Mason, which appears in another column. He
is now engaged in constructing the massive
walls for E. III. Wilson & Co.'s tea store, on
Main street, and ready to contract for all the
stone work the public may favor him with.
NEW CAvENGERs.-Messrs. Stickel>
bach a Rose have been commercially engaged
in cleaning the main thoroughfare of town,
and done n good Job. They propose to con-
tinue the good work If those living in the
district, so taken care of, will recompense
them for it; and for that purpose will call on
our citiIens In n few days.

streets are In a dry condition now, and we Y
have been promised an exhibition. Trot them
out, for John Kinna's will soon be here, and
then the opportunity for creating a sensation
will be lost
New TELEGRAPH OFFICE-We learn
through the kindness of Mr. Snbin, that a
telegraph ofice has been opened at Corinne.
This town is building up rapidly, and Is con-
fidntly expected by those interested TO be
the gr'sat central city OF the west.
Nor SToPPED.-We learn that none
of the mining companies at UniOnville have
stopped work IL is not the intention of any
TO suspend operations. A sufficient force will
be employed upon the lodes to take out quartz
TO keep the mills running.
IMPROvEAIENTs.-The work on 4. III. |
Wilson & Co.'s new building is progressing |
rapidly. II will be q fne structure when |

WHITE PINR.-SoDe forty more min
ers left the Territory yesterday for White
Pine. They 90 horseback and pack their
outfit. Forty more unfortunates. ]
