In my recent rumbles through the Terri.
torv have become convinced that Montana
v,ll do To .'tie to" for better. Us it w,ll never
be any royys than il has been the past win.
Ter Tie comm: season has every indic..
ton of being fruitful one as regards the
oo.d and silver yield. The miners think

either to work for wages or 10 mine on their
own account. Although Montana never
was 50 ..hluc," its prospects never were 50
bright, While there vii! he more placers
worked this year than usual, active prepare.
tons are being made for mining many
lodges known 10 be rich and developing
others now lying idle. Most Of the miners
who left here last full are going to return In
the spring and bring Others with them.
Those who have visited Utah, Colorado,
Nevada and other places, write that Mon
tana yet holds out better Inducements fW
settlers than any State or Territory. ~
the middle Of April everybody will be atir.
and predict that before another winteyscis
in Montana will have made . recorJ that
any State Or Territory might wei envy.
Our agricultural aud grazing lsvis speak
for themselves. The full grstarics, the
sleek herds scattered over thq'sant hills
and valleys, attest that our fr,ning and
grazing advantages have NO suDcrior, if an
equal, anywhere. All settled points Of the
Territory arc easy Of access. Good roads,
bridges and ferries leave no distractions to
any mode Of transit. The bridges WASHED
away last spring NJ the jefferson aud MAli
son crossings above Gallatin are being re-
placed with new and substantial ones by
Mr.. +. n. Dunphy, and will be ready for
travel by the ti,s, Of April, which. will be
great advantage 10 these going 10 and from
the Galla,in country. When We conc to
look Al our Territory, and view it pro and
con, xnd then compare it with other new
States and Territories, We have great reason
10 he thankful that our lots are cast il this
most beautiful and valuable of all the gems
that glitter in the diadcm of the GodGess Of
Liberty. Verify Montana is
THE KhYsTONE or TIE GREAT NORTIrw EST.
1t hangs midway IN the mighty srch Of
States aud Territories that reach from the
lakes on the east to the ocean on tie West.
In the magnitude Of its area 1t embraces y
region Of country $50 miles in length by
half IS many in width. 1t 10 diversified
with mountains and hills, plains and valleys,
through which in every direction, rivers.
brooks and murmuring streams find easy
course. Our mineral range is 500 miles In
length by 800 in width, and in all this vast
region not y mountain or spur can be found
that does not contain either gold, silver,
copper, lead cr coal, and spn,o contain ali

LET Us FIGURE TOGETHER.
Any ono vino has gone rs far as ''from
take" in arithmetic. can in a moments time
lit he has any doubts in the mstter) do the
figuring necessary 10 satisfy himself of our
great mineral wealth and consequent future
wonderful greatness. Judging from tho
number of lodes now being developed, and
those successfully mined, II il . how estimate
whea We put the amount Of paying rock in
sight 1t 500,000 tons. But If that amour.
10 too great 10 be easily comprehended, we
will do our figuring in one vicinity only,
and will take the Colorado District, Jeffer>
son City. Abou, ., 600 tons are now on tie
various dumps in section of country five
or six miles In diameter. From Z careful
assay considered working test made
sometime since Of ore from AZ differcn.
'odes in that district, the result vas an aver.
age ut $40 per ton in silver BY . calcu.
'stion of the ore in s.ghs, mot imaginary
tue least estimate is 80, 600 tons; u, $40 per
ton We have 81, 000, 900; cost Of shipment,
10 the works 1t Chicago when railroad 10
furnished the Territory (ruuning probably
fifteen miles from Jefferson) at go Der bn.
will be 81, 00o. 900; cost Of raising, hauling,
and reducing, allowing $40 per ton for each
will leave net result of &0.5oo, 600. Blu,
say the ore il worth only 800 in silver, and
We yet have aclear profit Of e. 500, 600 from
what can bc taken from that one dis,r;c, in
one year, when We have IN outlet for our
ores. Allowing - feet Of space to = car
and tea tons for load. and we have 1924
miles Of cars to hear OF the paying rock
now exposed Ia the Jefferson mines. Then
take the rich dis.ric,s OF Philipsburg,
Butte. Ten Mile. Cherry Creek, Red Wing.
Blue Wing, Rsdcrsburg, around Virginia,
Silver Star, vipond, and dozen other
promising localities, and We can form some
idea Ut the great mineral wealth Of Montana.
Times arc hard 1t prescn, and to say the
least Ut It. our Territory is ''l,ide bound" u
fearful extent, but in two or three years
sc will have at least one, possibly two, rail,
roads and then our ''tightncss" will he re-
membcred only q an ugly dream. y
