shipment OF large quantities OF ores 70

yield has been 70 immense that the cost of
shipment 60 great distance has taken Of
but very small percentage Of the profits.
Aessrs. Hussey 4 Dshler own . large In.
terest in this mine, and are, Of course, rich
in consequence.
Illustrative of the fevcrish excitement
which exists here concerning mines, may
state the fact that an interest in the Emma
ledge recently purchased at 10 O'Clock A. H..
for $4,000. was sold ut 2 O'Clock r. n. Of
the same day for $l40. 900, thus netting the
first purchaser, who, by the way, wss for
merly of Montana, $50, 900 in four hours.
Who wouldn't work for $500 per hour !!
$3OO, 900 has been refused for the same in.

and from the Pacific coast. purchsslng ores
and bullion. and shipping 1t by the car LOAD.

day aud night on Utah ores,
AND YET NO MONEY
10 very general complaint. This nay be
partially accounted for by the fact that the
snow in the mountains prevents the sdvan.
tageous usc of money obtained from the sale
OF ores for the present; and again probably
.uuch of this money is finding itself sent

There are
MANY xoNTANIANs HERE,
among them Charles Dahler, Esq, formerly
of Helena; Thomas Marshall, Esq, who
left Helena In 1866, and is~ now 4 member
Of the prominent law firm of Marshall &
Carter; N J. Rosenthsl. who left Helena
last fall, and has just opened On assay Office
here; Mr.. Abraham Waters. who left Hell.
ens several years since. and is now engaged
in the jewelry business, and many others
whose faces daily recognize on the streets
but whose names do not remember. Mr..
John Newman is the latest arrival, and may
locate here. Billy Phillips, formerly with
Travis & Bro. At Helena. 10 here in the en-
ploy of Hessrs. Gilmer & Salisbury. As
for myself, I must say that l do not like
Salt Lake. A drcary cheerlessness about
the place and lack of cordislity among the
people Is constantly reminding one of the
saying ''ss pleasant ~ funeral; and, after
. much more extended absence than at
first anticipated, I hope to be able 70 say to
Montana, Home again" .s s..s
Ofmy journey from New York thus far
on my return trip I have nothing to say
save In connection with the
MAMMOTH cAvs
Of Kentucky. within short distance of
which many Montana people travel while
on their Eastern tours without ever visiting
it. The traveller going East from st. Louis
by the Ohio & Mississippi r r. can, by
leaving the latter at short distance this
side Of Cincinnati, reach the Mammoth
Cave, see al there is to be seen, and get to
Cincinnati in three days time at . total cost
for travelling expenses Of not exceeding
twelve dollars. A walk Of eighteen miles
through lofty and beautiful subterranean
passages well rcpsys the visitor for Ill his
trouble. Indeed, . csvernous journey Of
over one hundred miles might b taken II
Ill the passages thus far discovered were 10
be visited. But until the Underground
ltailroad is again put In operation In Ken.
