We deem it almost inevitable that collisions
similar to those of California, Nevada and
Idaho, will occur in Montana A. their
numbers multiply, distrust increases. and, as
they acquire mining lands and Danish

The view is entertained by many That the

This may I've true. 1t entails, however, con.
sequences of serious injury to the country.
even II admitted that they would be advsn-
tageous laboscrs to employ in the lcads
They HAYES pcnchant for placer mining
and possession of the mines. In California
they were content with diggings abandoned
or almost yslueless. Even here they work
.,rouud that will not yield wages to the
white labovcrs. But John has an eye to the
main chance, and very discreetly chooses
the better in preference to the worse. Not
only have they bought up exhausted and
poor ground, but in many places they are
paying large sums for the hest ground in
tho camps, the money being paid here or by
the Chinese bankers in San Francisco. AT
Bsnnack and Silver Bow they have acqui-
red large azca of rich ground. and at Gold
Creek last week negotiated for some of the
bestclailns in tho camp. With one thousand
additional Cinnamon immigratiug here this
season, wc may expect to see their posses.
sions doubled or trebled within year. and
that Of the best paying claims. AS long rs
they can procure placcrs they will not work
for wages, and especially in leads. And
- they acquire rich placers they displ,ce
and cut off from employment the number of
white laborsrs before employed on them. IT
ihc results to the community were equally

there would still rcmain the objection of
citizens thrown out of employ by aliens.
But beyond this, they areof NO benefit to
