Montana's Future.

The Helena lNff"i~N{<CN N'sS IAe
terviewed surveyor General Harris
upon the nlinera! resources Of the
Territory. The General says:
II see no reason to doubt Mon
tana's having y genuine boom In
mines. Arizona, Colorado, Utah and
New Mexico have had their rush
and why not Montana: have rea'
son tn believe, both from personal In
spections and from those Of old prac-
teal miners from other places who
have been here, that We have the
mines, aud while not developed fully,
still they show true fissurc veins, and
such mines have always proved last
ing. i,e!!cve 1t will come aud that
too before long. There are ,ne. here
now looking up the matter Of mines,
and while they, with true business
tact, arc in no great hurry to make
Immediate purchase, they will In
time. Capital vii! not I've wa"li"g.
:: :: 4 ::
Ninc-tcnths Of my official duties
arc required in looking after mining
claims and their survey. ! am pretty
we'll acquainted with nearly every
State and Territory, and have, as u
matter Of choice, selected Montana
:s my permanent home"
The Ct,:, & Northern branch Of
the Union Pacific Railroad has been
extended to Deer Lodge, forty miles
west Of Helena, giving TO this inin'e-
diate section better rail facilities
than II has ever had before.
With the opening Of another sea-
soa Montana Is therefore bound to
receive a material increase In pcpu-
lation from immigrants looking for
homes. Here we have an inin'ens
Territory wl,eie q larger proportion
Of productive lands is open to pre-
ctnpt;on than in any other equal area
Of the United States.
I,ut the most attractive Of all pur-
suits Is that Of miuing, upon which
I venture to say that the future pros
perity Of this Territory depends. An
industry which has added to the per-
n,nne;,t wealth Of the world, In gold
and silver. over one hundred aud
sixty millions Of dollars up 10 the
close Of the year 1851, is one Of which
Montana may we'll lie proud. As the
,,roduction Of silver Is "n the In
crease, a larger total may he expected
from year 70 year.
With the advent Of railroads,
cheaper transportation facilities will
be afforded aud . lower grade Of ore
bc prcfi.ably worked. Bullion and
ore may be more cheaply shipped
aud ali the necessaries Of life greatly
reduced in cost, and labor therefore
rendered more reasonable IN cost;
! then III. same amount If money will
accomplish greater results and mines
xhich are now shut down because
the grade Of mineral will not ply the
nreseut working charges will then be
paying Handsomely"

DAY DISPATCHES,


ST. PAUL. Oct. Elm an interview
with Gov. Ramsey, chairman Of the
Utah Commission, who hts Just re-
turned from salt Lake City, he says:
The only thing We had to do was to
separate the polygamOus from the
lawful voters, and that We accom-
p3ishetl. At . very early day after
the arrival OF the commission leading
poly9alnists came and said they de-
sired to = sure the United
States that they would make no at
tempt to be registered, nor would they
make any attempt to vote, and they
would do all in their power to assist
the United States in q general way.
I think they have kept their word; In
fact, the MOrMons have conducted
themselves fairly. So far a. we could
learn there has been talk about delay
In the wO < OF the commission, but It
will be remembered that the apprO-
priati"n for the work was not passed
by Congress until just before its i'd
jjurnment in August. and We
were obliged to await that nc
ton. We began work s. quickly
~ We could. and we have, besides
completing the regis ration, appoint
ed county register in each Of the
twentv-four counties Of Utah, and
selected a register for each voting
precinct, making about 90 judges.
Now, with regard to these appoint
ments, there hs, been good deal Of
nonsense said in the papers about the
Commission fayoring the MOrmOns.
In whole counties there were
none but Mormon residents, and
~ the law intended to make pOlyga-
my OdiOus, aud dies not diSfranchise
. Homogeneous Mormon, We could
not do 0therwl;s than just v hat the
law allows III that case. So far as
the elections are concerned. they will
of course be c.rriei by Norm OH pol
itics. Utah J., not represented in any
dgree by the Republican and Demo
cratic pari; tut by Liber-
anti Mormon class aud the Peoples
party, az the Mcr,nOns delight to style
themselves. OF course the Mormon
vote, which is ut least 81 to l
Gentle, will elect the Delegate to
Congress, and the pOlygamists know
ing that their man and the officers
generally will lie thus chosen,
can we'll afford to acquiesce in
their own dssfrancl,isemcnt. l
have heard it said the present
Mayor Of Salt Lake City, NJ. Caine.
stood q good show for the Mormon
nomination AMI election. The Gen
tile population hope aud desire to
secure some legislative commission
which shall have full control Of the
government Of the Territory, and
they claim that under sucl, commits
