ders and reverberatories, to Stag the roasted

| in a slack furnace. A fine water acket
cupola is being built for the latter purpose,
which will have capacity of 20 tons per
day, and if constantly supplied, will produce
from 10 to 10 tons of metal daily. Judging
by the amount of lead ores in the vicinity,
and the excellent facilities the works possess
in location and construction, we hope to see
them running regularly and turning out this
amount before the summer is over. Only
bad management and bad work will prevent
such result, and these are hardly to be ex-
pected from the Company.
This new enterprise should receive the cor
dial support and encouragement of Montana
miners. Up to the present, low grade silver
ores have been utterly worthless in that Ter
ritory. Now fair market is offered for
mineral as low in grade as 20 ounces per ton.
A comparison of the Company's price list
with those current in Salt Lake, Georgetown,
or Eureka will show that the rates offered
are as good as any, for anything under 40
ounces.
Above that, some changes for the better
might be urged especially when the percent
age of lead is high, and we have but little
doubt that the Company will do better than
these rates as soon as they are fairly going,
and find that they can handle such ore with
as greet ease, and more profit per ton than
poorer stuff -lMjning Reuiew.

That is what Mr.. James Luke says of

following: 1--WE learn from our County As
SCISSOR, Jas. Mayne, who made us call last
week, that great excitement prevails in the
lower part Of the valley over the result of the
winters work in Avalanche gulch. Every
company that has reached bedrock have
found good pay. Encouraged by this, new
companies will start in to develop their
ground. The gulch is long. and good pay
having been struck in a number of places, it
is very probable that it will prove rich
throughout its whole extent The side gull
ches, except one, which paid well, are as yet
unprospected. In view of these facts, we do
not hesitate in saying that Avalanche is the

can safely state that. in our opinion, it is the
best chart of sacred and profane history that
we have ever seen, and we cordially recon-
mend it to the public. 1t presents, in unbroken
connection, the complete history of man, in
Guiding the record of every nation from the
Garden of Eden to the present year. Upon
the scale adopted, it represents in their his
toric order and time, the thirty-nine books of
the Old Testament, with their important per-
sonages and events then it traces from 2245
B. c., the history of the Phenician, Egyp-
tian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Grecian, Chinese
and other monarchies We commend it to
teachers and students as valuable and useful
aid to study. It is Chart handsomely
mounted and printed in color, 20 feet long by
30 inches wide. The plan adopted is a very
ingenious one. The arrangement of the
maps is such, that the student sees at glance
exactly the condition of the world at any
given date, and by the aid OF colors, pictures,
etc., he is given an idea of the progress of
arts, names and succession of rulers, and
similar facts. important to be remembered.

TO the Editor of the Herald:

TO the Editor OF the Herald:
The Independent is in error this morning
in stating that there were "Three bids re-
ceived at the Executive office for the care and
maintenance of the insane of the Territory"
There were only two bids-one from the
Sisters of Charity of Helena, and the other
from William Nowlan. The bids were opened
at 12 o'clock on the Goth instant in presence
of Joseph X. Toole and others, when the
Governor remarked to those present, there
are but tac0 bids. And the contract which
has been given to DR.. A. II. Mitchell, of Deer
law approved February 16, 1877, which en-
powers the Governor ito let the contract to
the lowest responsible bidder, but the Cover
nor shall have the right to reject any and all
bids and make private contract, provided
such contract can be made at less price than
any bids made under publication for pro-
posals." The Independent, therefore, is in
error again, in saying the loacest bid, being
that of DR.. Mitchell. The Doctor did not put
in any bid, probably for fear that he might
be debarred from making private contract,
or through fear that he might be under bid.
1t is presumable, then, that the Doctor must
have had previous understanding with his
Excellency that private contract would
eventually be made with him IN any eyent.
The Doctor, therefore, does not get the con-
tract after fair and honorable competition
under the head of sealed proposals, but has it
by virtue of private contract, consummated
after it was known the lowest bid was So so
per week.
AS this lowest bid includes the care, main
tenance, clothing, burial expenses, medical
attendance and medicines, etc., it is to be
hoped that his Excellency will SO word the
contract that no ertras can be imposed upon
the Territory, as were at one time trumped
up against the county, ala Rains.

The Montana Concentration Company.
A few miles west of Jefferson city, Mon
tana, is located new 50-ton Krom Concen-
tration works. 1t was built and is owned by
the Montana Company of New York, and is
probably the most complete establishment of
its class in the West. The writer made a
personal visit to the works in December of
last year, and though not yet finished, it was
so nearly so as to prove that no needful ex-
pense had been avoided by the Company in
building, and no pains spared by Mr.. Krom
in designing.
On the 23rd of February the works started
on ores from the Argentine mine, which, it
was reported, were being handled with sue
cess. The opening of these works marks a
new era in the history of Montana, and they
are worthy of somewhat detailed descrip-
ton. BY reference to our issue of February
10th, the reader will find under the head of
''Notes from Montana" some data respect
ing the ores of Colorado and Boulder districts
in which the works lie, and some details as
to the amount of development upon the
mines. In building the works, Mr.. Krom,
the owner of the system of dry concentration
which bears his name, has profted by the ex-
perience of the works of Taylor and Crook
in Colorado, and if possible improved on the
working details of these. One important new
feature is an automatic drying furnace,
through which the ore passes after being
crushed 10 gravel. Between this and the
separating machine is the rolling and screen
ing department. and an arrangement by which
the ore is weighed. In the separating de-
partment no changes on former plans have
been made, and, in fact Mr.. Krom's ma
chimes are regarded now by the highest au-
thorities as very efficient in every way, quite
equalling in points of delicacy and adapta.
bility any of the water jigs in use.
The Company are building complete smelt-
ing works adjoining their concentration mill.
