HELENA.
The uninitiatesl traveller In arriv-
ing ut this city after dark, has Ills ut
tention directed to the peculiar yet
bright light which gives the streets
and each business house upon either
side the appearance Of being the re-
cipient of tile Illuminating rays Ut a
nooR-day sun. TIL go are the electric
lights about which 50 much has been
said In Butte, but Of which nothing
has as yet been seen, save at the Alice
and Moulton mines. They appear to
give general satisfaction here, and
the full number forty which the
present machinery can supply is TUX
en-. Mere will he taken as soon as
the additional! machinery can I've pro.
cured to generate them.
Helena has changed very much
during the past year. New buildings
have been erected which, being Of q
solid charact. r, lave already added
to her appearance Of per'nanence and
beauty. Her enterprising citizens
have undin,inisl,ed faith in her fu-
ture prosperity and greatness. and
are ever ready to stand shoulder to
shoulder in every movement calc'-
late<, to advance her interests or to
add to the prosperity of her tributa-
~ camps. 1t Is ~ much to the ener-
~ and indomitable pluck Of her citi-
zens Us I" her geographical position
that Helena owes her present pros
Ferrous condition and her bright fu-
ture. She has profitcd by every nd
vantage v hich nature has given her,
md thrown nothing cover her shou!-

ample n,ay he e,nulatesl Ivy our own
cnterpri.ing citizens with profit to
themselves md Lrne';t to contiguous
municipalities.
