MONTANA'S ADVANTAGES.

A private letter received from a prominent
Montanian, now in New York, says that
within the past two months there is consider
able inquiry among moneyed men in relation
to the mines Of this Territory, and that in
his opinion capital to a large extent will be
diverted from its present avenues and directed
towards the mining camps of Montana. Tn
generally conceded failure Of the Little Pitts
burg mine, of Leadyille, to develop according
to promise, has given that great camp a seri-
Gus set back and anxious groups of men
are to be seen OH the street daily anxious
" discussing the advisability of a
further investment in that district. The trus-
tees of the Little Pittsburg company have
within the last week decided 10 pass the usual
dividend until further development either
proves or disproves the correctness Of the
present indications in that mine, which, it
seems to be the general impression shows
u~nmistakable signs of petering. If this ap-
prehension should be we'll grounded, there is
reason to believe that capital will fight shy of
Leadville mining property. This, however,
will not affect the desire for investing in mines,
which of late has so deeply rooted itself in
the minds of moneyed men. They will simply
carry on their operations elsewhere, for
though the failure of one mine does not nee
essarily prove that all surrounding properties
are yalueless, it nevertheless weakens faith in
their perDanence and capital being proverbi-
ally tlmid if not at times quite cowardly,
many of those who have money to invest will
endeavor to find some other locality in which
10 give it employment. Nevada is fast losing
its prestige as a mining country, and if We
except Eureka which beyond dispute has two
of the greatest mines on the coast, there is
not a prosperous mining camp in the entire
State. Amy reade who picks up a Virginia
City paper will at once conclude from its
retieence in regard to the mines and its
melancholy humor touching upon the hard
tunes, that the mining interests Of the camp
are by no means of a hopeful character.
The Bonanza and other listed stocks are
down lover than ever before. Few men are
employed, and the Characteristic enterprise Of
the Szgebrushers seems to have deserted
them Capitalists are afraid of Nevada
mines, not that many of them would not pay

A WORD TO COTTON PLANTERS.

1t IS singular tact, but none
the less true, that many Of our
planting friends will risk in the
cultivation Of their fields their
own ready means, or if needs be
borrow the necessary money
from their factors, WORK hard
from the first breaking up Of The
land to the final ginning and
haiing of their crops, and when
once this has been accomplished
pay as little regard to the proper
care and housing OF their cotton
as if it had been procured with
out the expenditure of a dollar
or single days work.
Once the cotton is baled it is ia
many instances placed in some
lot corner exposed to all weather,
or If a pretense of sheltoring it is
made so little trouble is taken
that the rain vets it, the mud
stains it, the sun dries it, and
in the end the cotton reaches
market in a damaged condition,
much to the annoyance of the
factor and greatly to the disad-
vantage Of the shipper. The
present year, when the tributa-
1ies have been so low, cotton has
been detained longer than usual
on the plantations along such
streams; and many a shipment
has in consequence on arrival
here been sent to the pickery, or
where the damage did not posi-
lively necessitate that, the
stained coating Of the bales was
removed when passing through
the scales.
Again, cotton in perfect condi-
ton is hauled to some landing; it
is piled, not like it is done here
on end and on skids, but merely
rolled out on the bank, where it
quietly rests until a boat chooses
to land and take it aboard. How
frequently it happens, we all
know, that rainy spell sets in.
The bales are wet, till sometimes
the water can be squeezed from
the cotton; gullies are made here
and there, and little streams of
dirty water 60 coursing in and
around these bales. The ground
is soft and sloshy, yet neverthe-
less the cotton is rolled over and
over, or slid down the bank,
blowing it way through the mud
to the boats staging. Indeed
we have been reliably told that
bales Of cotton have been actu-
ally foated down creeks and
small bayous some miles to a
convenient shipping point.
Where all such evils are una
voidable, there is, of course, no
reason in complaining; but in
many instances, in most all, a lit
tie forethought and care would
prevent what invariably proves
a matter of worry and Of actual
damage. It might be supposed
that the pecuniary loss would OF
itself effect cure; it may in time
but such carlessness has been
and still is source Of trouble to
