amy other Territory or State.
Tho thrifty, prosperous and con
tcnfei' days referred to, by our cor.
respondent were confined to y few
mining camps in tho Territory, when
thousands Of dollars were taken out
by the day and Hquandcrctl IN night,
tho gold finding its way into tho lock.
cra Of Inherent, temporary tratlcsmen,
and the wealth thus taken from the
bowels of our Territory was sent out
Of tho co,utry. The only benefit der
ivc,l from II hy the discoveries, was
TO supply their immediate wants at
prices that would make m honest
man. blush to hear named. Those
who were tho most prosperous and
contnted IN those tlaysof hitting fortune
arr now roaming through the noun
tains OH the prospect for new strike,
whilst the millions they uncarthcd
nr now enjoyed By people living out
side Of Montana.
In referring to tho property of our
citizens, "Nallcy Farmers says:
"And M 10 the ranches and town lots
which have perhaps cost thousands, what
eau I've realized out Ut them 7"
We answcr-pwl,ahly nothing like
their real value, at this time; but
our people arc not forced to sell aor,
and, possessing, all the natural ~
sources and advantages they ever did.
with the frcition of prospective adj
van,agcs ne.agrr ut hand than ever.
the intrinsic value of property is
greater to-day than it ever was, before.
We also Disagree withour cMrcsnand-
-. !" ,,n rvSt ot these ranches.
town lots ard improvements thereon.
The pm cmWioas and hnmesteads cost
81 - rcr ac,r, and there are faw
ranches in tlT county with Improve.
mcnts IL tho ex;cnt$l. 900 on them, and
tho improvements generally have cost
nothing but the time aud labor nut
mlN,n them by settlers. The history
&c the settlement of Eozcman does
not date back hut i few years. an,
lots have been taken up within the
las, three years, located almost in the
heart cf town. at el4 piece. And
We venture the assertion that very
Cow Improvements haze been made
upon town lots. whcNr rented. but
what have paid tos themselves.
Won many &c Tho town lots there are also
S,Nad buildings, and tire GLASS IL the windows
" many II them are how marks for tho boys
