population of about 1855 600 inhabitants.
Last year the imports and exports of Butte
amounted to about 10 900 tons. 1t will not
tall tar short of $4,000 tons this year. An
other simple sum will show that when we
shall receive our full population Butte will
furnish transportation annually for about
500. 600 tons of freight.
We admit that the above figures are some
what startling in their proportions, but they
are certainly within the range of probabili-
ties. They are at least more nearly correct
than those which the Herald has been giving
its readers concerning the advantages which
would accrue to the N. p. road by taking the
Mullen Pass over the Rockies. We have
based our calculations OF the existence of
Quartz. of known value and extent. The
Herald builds its figures upon statements as
baseless AS the fabric of a vision. We are
confident the directors of the Northern Pa
cihc will distinguish the difference and act in
the line of their interest by building their
road through the Iii estone Pass and by
Rutta.

A FEW MORE G

There are some points that should be con-
sideret in connection with the building of a
railroad over the Rocky Mountains which,
we notice, our Helena contemporaries have
been very careful not to touch upon. we
refer to the geological formation OF the
several passes and to the prevalence of deep
SHOWS upon them. 1t is we'll known to those
who are acquainted with the country that
the eastern slope OF the Rockies in the vicin-
ity of Helena and to the westward is com
posed of blue limestone almost as hard and
unyieldinl in its nature as iron. Where that
formation comes in contact with granite
equally as hard and obdurate may be seeI at
a point about three miles south OF Helena.
From that point it may be traced westerly to
aud beyond Blackfoot by the outcropping of
a huge quartz lode generally known as the
Contact" or "Bastard" lode. Miners who
have worked upon or near the lin. Of this
immense body of barren quartz are we'll &C
quall,ted with the tenacity Of the rock in its
vicinity. This fact cannot be questioned, nor
can those who are engaged in locating a rail-
road over passes to the westward of Helena
afford to overlook it. That admantine wall
presents an almost ~insurmountable barrier
to the building of a road either over or
through it.
There is still another very important ques-
ton to be considered, and that is the great
| depth which snow attains OH the route sug-
gested by our Helena friends. Transfers and
.,-.. i.;.,., ,.,, ,,,, ~, IN tI,o in,,,n,,ea ln1-
| les which are to be met with during th' win
| ter months. 1t is true that snow nay be kept
from railroad tracks by means OF snoW-sirds.
But the expense of building and keeping
snow-slieds in repair are items OF expense
OF such magnitude that railroad builders are
prompt to avail themselves of a route upon
which they are not required. In view of the
Serious obstacles which we have mentioned
TO the building Of a railroad across the main
range of The Rockies by the way Of the Null
len Pass or any other pass in It's vicinity, it is
hot PROBABLE that the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company will ever seriously contemplate
encuur,teling them. The barriers which Ma
lure has built t the progress of a road i'll that
direction are too formidable to be overcome.
Ga the other hand we have the Pipestone
Pass. which affords All almost natural
bed for a railroad. The formation is a soft
sandstone which may be easily aud cheaply
moved. No tunneling IS needed, and the
g ale upon either side will not exceed ZIG
feet TO the mile. So far as snow is concerned
this Pass is noled throughout Montana for the
insignificant depth ! it attains during the sever.
est Of winters. In fact, the whole Pipestone
country is remarkable rr the absence of deer
SHOWS When they prevail elsewhere in the
west. 1t is a route which Nature has marked
out for a railroad across the Rocky Noun
talns, and the one that the n. p. company
will use if i, cn"sults its best interests.

SCARCITY OF LABOR.

An Iowa correspondent of a Louisiana
paper says: "While the Eastern States are
overrun with laborers, in the West there is
not sufficient to supply the demand This is
particularly the case in this section, and in
consequence most of the work of the farm
and kitchen is done by the farmers, aided by
their wives, sons and daughters. 1t is very
difficult to get house servants, even in towns,
but we are glad to note that all ladies seem
to be able to do without them in such an
emergency. We have seen very few colored
people here"
Complaint is being made everywhere of
the scarcity Of labor. The tread of the tramp
is no longer heard in the land. He can find
employment, and still the cry is raised that
laborers are hard to find. The unprecedent-
ed immigration for the past six months OF the
laboring classes across the Atlantic has not,
it appears, supplied the demand. We are in
formed that the building of the railroads in
this Territory has been and IS still seriously
interfered with on account of the a OF it.
| Where to get men to prosecute them to COM
pletion is a greater problem to solve than
That of obtaining the money with which to
uay them.

terviewed by a Graphic correspondent when
the following information concerning Cult
teau was ELECTED:
"Guitteau was regularly committed" said
Colonel Corkhill, - at the time he was sent to
j all, not afterwards, but at that time"
"What return would you or the Warden

pus commanding the production of Cunt
teau?"
"Why, We would produce him, of course"
he said, "he is not kept in any way different

able, and would you take bail for his appear
ance provided 1t was otfered?'.
"Guitteau is hell now awaiting the result
of the injuries to the President. If he should
die within a year and a day OF the shooting,
Guitteau might be held for murder"
"Will you hold him that long without
trial"
"He will be held only a reasonable time,
to await The result OF the act"
"By what right did you order him into SOL
itary confinement, away from the other pris-
oners and without the right to see visitors %
"My letter to the Warden has been misun-
derstood. l have not had him placed in SOL
itary confinement. We have simply given
him a wing to himself. The Waterman there
fore, on that corridor can devote his whole
time to him, which is an accommodation, and
at the same time would prevent him doing
himself any injury if he should attempt to.
The directio on about visitors is for Guitteau's
benefit also. 1t has prevented him being
made an object of curiosity for a crowd, and
it may have saved his life, too, for there is no
telling but what some one would have shot
him had all been admitted who applied. A
note was sent to General Croker after consul
tation with him, and We had a perfect under
standing relative to it. The order has not
prevented Gultteau from having counsel, be-
cause he has as yet expressed no desire tor
advice. He has suffered no hardship at our
hands, as it would seen Mr.. Hoar thinks from
his letter to a Boston papet on the subject,
