ASSENNABOIN
A Brief Description of this Latest. Best
and rrettiesG military Post.

Many Of your readers are not aware, PROB
ably, that within seYenty-hye miles OF Ben
ton is located one Of the finest military posts
in the Northwest such is q fact, however.
Fort Assinnaboin is located on the south bank
of Beaver Creek, about four miles east OF
Milk River, and about twelve miles from the
Bear Paw Mountains. It is built OF brick,
and an idea of its dimensions may be had
from the following description:
On the east side. of the parade ground, and
at the southeast corner, is a block of two
hundred feet front by about forty feet depth,
two stories high, with porch in front-this
block is divided into six compartments, each
one Of which is intended to contain two sets
of officers quarters. Next on the east are
ten buildings Of about seventy or eighty feet
front by forty feet depth, two stories high,
with mansard roofs. These buildings con-
tain two sets Of officers quarters each. The
space between them is about thirty or forty
feet. Then comes an exact counterpart OF
the first named building.
The quarters for the enlisted men are just
opposite, on the west side of the parade
ground, about four hundred yards distant,
and consist of five buildings, two hundred
feet front by about forty feet depth, two
stories high, with porches in front, each one
Of these accommodating two companies Of
soldiers.
The hospital is situated on the north, and
fronts the parade ground. It's style of archi-
lecture is much the same as the other build
ings, and it is ample for the accommodation
of all the sick and wounded of the Post.
South of the parade ground is the store and
warehouses of A. Broadwater & Go. They
are large, and elegantly fitted up, and are
crowded with goods of every description.
Attached to these buildings is the restaurant
presided over by Stephen spitzley, an accom-
modating gentleman, who furnishes the Of
icers and the employees Of BroadWater & Co.
with as good fare as can be found anywhere
in the Territory. At the southeast corner, and
completing the oblong square, is the elegant
residence Of G. A. Broadwater.
There are now stationed at this Post eight
companies of the 18th Infantry and two
companies of the I'd Cavalry. Col. Black,
of the 18th, is in command. This Post is
surrounded by a vast military reservation,
about forty miles in length by fifteen miles
in breadth, included in which are the Bear
Paw Mountains, which in all probability con
tain rich deposits of gold and silver.

This Was Cash.

An oldish man who was on his way West
took q lunch at the eating stand in the Detroit
Grand Haven and Milwaukee depot yester-
day, and ID payment rendered q $40 Confed-

said the attendant, as he scanned the bill.
"Don't, Ell? Very well. Customs differ
il localities. They take it in some places
and refuse it in others. No particular harm
done to offer it. How's this bill ?"
1t was an old wildcat bill of 1910, and it
was handed back with the remark that it
wouldn't pass.
"Won't Ell? Well, no great harm to offer
it. Are you willing to take my note Of hand
for sixty days for this sum 1"
mo, sir"
"Won't, eh? There are places where they
will and places where they won't. This
seems to be a place where they won't. No
crime, though, to propose it. Do you think
I would have any success in trying to stand
you off,"
mo, sir"
I presume not, but the inquiry seemed per.
tinent. Does it appear to you as if I would
have to pay this bill in cash ?"
SIT does"
Strikes me the same way, too. There are
times when it seems to be impossible to
wriggle out Of cash payments. have q

"No, sir, I am not"
"That's what I expected, but I thought il
no harm to make it. | see no other way ex-
cept to pay cash. Please take your change

The slight change having been handed him

Mining
[Salt Lake Tribune.

The San Francisco Chronicle has renewed
its war upon stock gambling. It has the ad-
vantage Of striking now when stocks are
''away off, and when thousands of people
are deploring the loss Of fortunes through
the fatal meshes Of stocks. And yet il
| people nave lost fortunes through dealing in
| stocks that fact is no argument against the
legitimate industry Of mining. If a stock
| market had been made on wheat the result
would have been just the same, though the
| harVests were lavish over all the land, and
| though bread is the staff of life. A few men
would have had SO much money that their
wealth would be a burden to them and a
great many thousands would have had 50
little that how to meet the necessary expenses
| of life would now be the distressing problem
they would be worrying to solve. If mining
has been abused, or if abuses have grown out
Of mining, the industry itself is not to blame,
| The fact that such tremendous LOSSES have
been sustained is merely an evidence that
men, approaching the wonderful possibilities
Of mining, are willing to risk what they can
not afford to lose in a mining venture. The
fault, after all, is with the people them
| selves. There was one bonanza on the Com
stock from which more than $500, 600, 900
has been taken. This has fascinated the
whole mining world, untill now were there
but a rumor Of a big strike somewhere be-
| tween the Utah and the Justice, there are
thousands who would not rest until they had
secured some Of the stock. And thousands
of these could not have inducements enough
offered them to cause them to invest a few
dollars in legitimate mining. The hills of
three or four Of these interior Territories are
full Of prospects, any Of which can be bought
for a few thousand dollars. By combining,
8 few men could with a few dollars purchase
and develope one of these prospects. But
they will not do it. They prefer to wait until
some man or some company does the perlim-
mary work and then they are perfectly will
ing to pay for a small amount Of the stock
q sum which a few months before would
have given them a control Of the property.
ARdlus Al - DuyS u q plUSptCt lOT say
So, 900, and then wants SO, 900 for the same
property, the instant conclusion is that he
wants too large q profit and is trying to
sWindle some one, no matter what the merits
Of the property may be. But let IA sell to G,
who has the reputation Of being a successful
miner, let him incorporate with SO, 900 shares
holding them at q dollar per share bed rock,
and the man who believed it was q sWindle
when a wanted $1,000 for the whole mine
will eagerly load up with shares of the same
stock, though going at the rate of $50, 900 for
the mine. These are the peculiarities Of
mining, and no experience seems able to get
men out Of the grooves which custom has
worn. And yet for the money invested the
experience Of the bast three years proves
that, despite the mistakes, mining has been
the safest business carried On by any class Of
people in the country.
