The mining interests Of the Territory

gold and silver has amounted To :l53,-

California as q producer o. that metal.
Already more than 10000 quartz mines
hAvs been recorded. and many prom
isinR districts still remain unprospected
Iron aud lead mines have also been
opened. Coal is plentiful. Prof. Hay

square miles Of he Territory are under
laid by coal measures. l, is. Of course.

development will be the most import.

lands. covered with the nutritious bunch
grass, which cures, uncut, into the fin

10 cents per head. Including taxes, q

estimated at 9 per cent, while the prof

40 per cent. per annum. The natural
increase in herds amounts 10 about 50
per cent. yearly. The rapid develop
ment Of stock- breeding is quite re-
msrkable. In 1873 tho whole number
OF cattle in the Territory was Sd, GA and
none were exported. In 1878 there
were 100000 cattle owned in Montana.

may write like that celebrated historian
but he will not do any newspaper work.

\ kicking horse is like a balance, when one

brace consists Of a half-inch iron rod which

the two divisions of the upper end are fasten-
ed TO the two rings of the bit, while the low
er ends fit upon the lower portion of the col

by means Of p strap fastened to the upper

AN OLD TIME PROJECT.

Speaking of newspaper subscriptions
and advance payments reminds US of an
institution which sprang up and flourish
ed down East in the olden time. In 1S49,
we think it was, when the venerable
Thomas W. Newman, now of Brooklyn,
N Y, was publishing the Hallowell,
Me-. Gdzette, and we were cub in
that Office an active. energetic gentle
man named Pease found himself ont of
business. He went to Mr. Newman,
and after asking him about his subscTip-
ton accounts due, purchased them
For ore and two years subscriptions he
paid fifty cents on the dollar. For three
and four years, forty per cent. and for
others from thirty to ten per cent.
These were the days when publishers
had to give long credits. and the amount
purchased was something like four
Thousand dollars, the Gazette publisher
realizing about sixteen hundred dollars
cash At one stroke he wiped out all
the subscription Indebtedness due him.
and had clean books. Mr.. Pease set
out collecting, and in a short time
found that the business was one that
with proper care would paw. He pur-
chased the accounts of another paper
and put a collector into the field with
himself. Within year he owned the
accounts OF nalI q dozen papers. and
had several collectors at work. The
business was one that required care and
tact, but Mr.. Pease appeared to be equal
to the task, for he extended his work
wonderfully. Not long after his first
purchase he opened an office in Boston.
and purchased the accounts Of any
newspapers that had them to sell. With
headquarters in Boston, he kept col
lectors in the field in all the New Eng
land counties. Each collector used
horse and wagon and at intervals bills
were sent in. He was kept in one To-
cality until he became thoroughly ac-
quainted with it and had no difficulty
IN finding the man he wanted Mr
Pease built his business up to very large
proportions, and we think gave employ
ment to nearly one hundred collectors
and clerks. At this day there is no tell
ing what proportions the business would
have assumed had Mr. Pease lived, but
at the time he was doing so well he died.
His successor was less enthusiastic in
the work, and finally closed it out. That
the business was a success iE the right
hands is beyond dispute, and the same
field IS now open to an enteTprising man
in any locality where newspapers -four

SOME CURIOUS FACTS.-harcuS Var
70 writes that there was town in Spain
undermined with rabbits, another like
wise in Thessaly by moles or mole
wharps. In Africa the people were COM
PEELED by locusts to leave their habita-
tion; and out of Gyaros, an Island-one
of the Cyclades-the islanders were
forced by rats and mice to fly away :
moreover, in Italy, the city Of AmyclR
was destroyed by serpents. In Ethiopia
there is a great country lying waste and
deserted 10y reason that it was formerly
dispcopled by scorpions; and if it be
true what TheOphratus reporteth the
Treriens were chased away by certain
worms called scolopendres. Anuius
writes that an ancient city, situated near
the Nelscian Lake, and called COntene-
bra, was in times past overthrown by
pismires, and that the place is there
upon yuIgaTly called to this day the
Camp Of the Ants. In Media. saith
DiOdOrus Siculus. there was such an in
finite number of sparTOws that eat up
and devOured the seed which was cast
into the ground, SO that men were con-
strained to depart from their old habita-
tIoDs and remove to other places.
