In view of the 'tough times to wn,,k
Helena and the Territory has been accred-
tied by scallawag founding struggling AIM
lessly in other parts, taking, fortunately for
us, their worthlcssncss from our midst TO
plague other communities with their beg
carly presence, VIC arc induced to express
our own satisfaction and the qualification of
our people at the prospect Frightening before
US. Evidences of thrift, Of progress, are
Immediately with and everywhere round
about us. The fortunes Of Helena, none but
the unfair will deny, are associated, ncao or
remote, with the best interests of the whole
Territory. Here is concentrated cOmmun-
ity, entcrprising and liberal, largely exceed
ing in numbers that of any other pe0pled
centre of Montana. The city, geographic
ally considered, is located conveniently 10
large portion of the towns, mining camps,
and agricultural sections of the Territory. 1t
IL contiguous to and overlooks from its site
one of the most beautiful and highly pro-
ductivc valleys nesting in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains. Profitable gold placcrs,
still extensive and numerous, are scattered in
the gulches and bars of the county, giving
up annually to the toll of the miner their au-
rifcrous treasures 1t Is close BY the won
derful quartz lodges that during the past eight
years have yielded millions In gold bullion,
and which for years to come will produce
1t is almost equally near to the great silver
mines of the Ten Mile, Clancy, and Jeffer-
son districts, from which, the present year,
ores to the value of probably more than .
quarter of q million of dollars will be ex-
tracted, on which money to the extent of
fifty per cent of their value will be advanced
| by our bankers. It has been, Is now, and
will continue to be the most considerable
centre of population, of capital, of merchan-
dizing, of mining, of manufacturing, of
freighting, of passenger and express trans
portation, of newspaper publishing, and in
other matters Of controlling importance In
Montana. Our people do not, cannot. lose
sight of those facts, patent in themselves
and established in the mind Of every one.
Let us, then, march forward TO the triumph,
In part already achieved, now awaiting us,
with not only faith In our strength and the
certainty of our success, but with the '''u to
earn and deserve the grand destiny, right
fully our own and invitingly within our reach
