Edk0S Nec NoyEA Wet: - !.
A fsw briefly stated iems, 'such As win
prove Of general interest % the leaders of
the NoRru- WEST, will constitute this letter.
And first, because nearest home, few
facts with regard to
TIE GILXER SALISBURY STAGE COMPANY.
And few figures which win serve to con-
vey an idea of the magnitude of the bust
ness transacted by that firm. Ny informa-
ton is derived from Jack Gilmcr, whom l
met in Salt Lake, and may be relied upon
as correct.
The Company own one hu ,drcd and
twenty coaches, seventy of which are in
daily use. To secure the regular running
of these coaches scyen hundred and sixty
four horses, thirty. five drivers and one hun
dred and fifteen other men arc employed,
and seventy -one stations arc established.
The total length of the lines over which
this Company conducts its operations is
twelve hundred and forty seven miles. in
Guiding the new route from Ryan to Deer
Lodge, the principal line being from Cor.
inne to Helena, distance of four hundred
and sixty miles. The magnitude Of the bu-
sincss conducted BY this, the most extcn-
sive stage company in the United States,
can be better comprehcnded when state
that the total distance travelled by its coach.
cs In IN" yoar Is 47c. IT'S miles; and that the
aggregate amount Of travel done by all tho
horses Of tho limo during the same time
foots up 2, 1l4,l10 miles, or about ninety
times around the world. Thirty coaches
and about one hundred and 1f.y horses are
travelling simultaneously on this line du.
ring every day of the year. On the road
between Helena and Corinne the horses are
changed every nine miles and travel at the
rate Of six miles per hour including oil stop.
Pages The coaches run with regularity
which IL surprising when the character of
the country Is taken into consideration.
SALT LAKE CITY 70 ..
And ito adjacent country, the ''rebellious

The discovery and work;n: of rich silver
mines in tho vicinity, and the introduction |
of the railroad arc causing an in flux Of Gen.

When that time arrives. when women come !
to feel that TO accept of the doctrine of 20.

OF the majority of the people surrounding
them, female nature will rebel and q peace
able solution OF tho question will be reach
ed without tho aid Of the United States
troops, or tho more formidable, Anna Dick

GENTLE PROGRESS
In Salt Lake, we note the fact that the
and Catholic churches have
established themselves there, and. are in
creasing in numbers. Bishop Tuttle, 50
we'll known throughout tho length and
breadth of Montana Territory, has been IN
rcnitting in his efforts to unite and build
up the Episcopal element in tho City of the
Saints, and has met with flattering success.
An elegant Gothic church ctiificc Of brown
frccstonc and large size, and situated in one
VI the most beautiful locations in tho city.
