An article has been going the rounds
Of the press that persons disguised as
sisters of charity have been soliciting aid
for some est. Julian hospital or church
Of the Sacred heart ETC., and warning the
public against them. While it is well to
caution the public against impostors Of
all kinds, there is danger Of doing these
sisters of charity great harm in their
good deeds We have been assured by a
gentleman who knew those who had
been here, that they came with. strong
letters of endorsement, and those who in
any manner aided them can have no
fears that they had been duped. Per
haps land we think it the most reason
able deduction) that the report was start
ed by some designing person to injure
them, as it is a dodge, that we have
never heard of being attempted any
where else. Yet we could not see why
it would not be good one to deceive. At
all events it would be well to see that
the endorsements and testimonials were
genuine before turning them away
empty handed. In cases of charity it il
better to be duped occasionally I'm to
close our ears and hearts to all appeals

The prospects for good crops through
ont the valley, though backward, looks
very. promising and unless some unfor-
seen event happens will exceed in yield
or amount of product, any previous year
in Gallatin county. The influx of ropu-
lation which will certainly reach Mon
tana will make home market for all
our products and we confidently look
for remunerative prices for all produced.
Do not be in a hurry to force upon the
market. The demand will undoubtedly
take it all before another harvest. Do
not imagine the railroad will import 80
as to cripple you. You can certainly af-
ford to raise as cheap as eastern markets
can supply us and the quality is certainly
as good.

some work has been done and good re-
suits obtained. What may lie in the in.
tervening spaces between the mines
above mentioned are yet to be unfolded
by the hardy prospector. So much for
the mines lying along and contiguous to
the Yellowstone. There are yet other
points nearer to Bozeman where some
prospecting has been done, and whist
partial developments have been made,
establish the existence of gold and silver
producing leads. Spanish creek, Cherry
creek and the mountains which feed
these streams have been known for some
time to contain large mineral deposits,
but prospecting has been slow and de-
velopments still slower. The time will
come, and that soon, when the prospec-
tor will turn in that direction, and we
have no doubt rich rewards will be reap
ed. Some placer mining is going on in
that vicinity now and we hope soon to
hear that Tanner, Swan and others have
struck bedrock. anda pile. To the north
of us Sixteen Mile creek has been known
for years to contain many lodes which
show good prospects. but heretofore the
only claims prospected were those owned
or located by farmers, who only devoted
such time Is they could spare from their
agricultural pursuits, towards opening
and developing them. This too must
soon prove to be . bonanza. 1t ia known
that the gravel even in this valley con-
tains gold, and we dare say pan of it
could not be found but would show a
COLOR" and why may not the mountains
all around us contain gold and silver
bearing lodges? The prospectos wand
has not touched them, 80 general has
been the impression that our resources
were all agricultural. We are glad to see
that change is coming over the spirit Of
our dream. We are glad to see that en-
terprising men are taking hold Of mining
enterprises and bringing these heretofore
dormant resources to prominence. When
these shall have been developed, when
our farms shall dot the landscape so
thick that it shall be one continuous
field, when manufactures shall utilize
our water power, we may confidently
predict that Bozeman, the beautiful city
of the plain, will become the Denver Of
Montana. These mining interests we
speak of are not the coinings of imagi-
nation. They exist, and time will show
that they will be an important factor in
| the growing wealth Of Eastern Montana,
Is there brighter future anywhere? IL
there more inviting field for industry
and capital? Is there better place for
| the homes Of those now seeking the new
west? We think not.

A Chicago special Of May 9th, to
Pioneer Press says: Gov. John Schuyler
Crosby was there on his way to West
Point. Gov. Crosby said eastern capital
and immigration were pouring into Mon
tana, and that the population was fully
5000; that the Territory had heretofore
been Democratic, but that the large ad-
dition Of Scandinavian would make it
Republican. The wish is father to the
thought" The only county election
held since this heavy Scandinavian &C.
cession has been Yellowstone county
which gave two Democratic to one Re
publican vote, and we wonder upon what
Gov. Crosby bases his opinion. The de-
crease of Republican votes every where
else shows that they are going some
where. The Governor should try to
boom Montana, not to kill it.

The Boy Of the Period.
From the Salt Luke Tribune.

From the SAT- Luxe 1TaOUNx.
Jimmie Mason, a resident on farm
near South Cottonwood, doesn't come to
town very often, so when he was here he
struck good many of the boys, went
through the saloons, shooting-galleries'
and generally took in the sights" He
went home and was met at the front door
by his dad.
Hello, James, my boy ;soyou're home
at last?'
"Well, should smile," said Jimmie
biting off a chew of the nasty weed.
"What kind of time did you have p

the old man, looking toward big apple

could get on stick. Why, you dizzy
old wretch, she's plumb gone on me-"
"You surprise me-" said Jimmie's pa,
"And what else did you do?"
"Gave 'em two balls and rolled out
on scratches; went broke on two kings
and an ace; filibustered on the dark
horse; swung the clubs; diced for the
brew, and stood off the hotel bill. Do
you tumble?"
Tumble? Oh, yes. I'm tumbler. !"
"Well, l took in the show-paralyzed
the girls, you know-kind of struck 'em
dumb; then was going to shove some of
the queer, but quailed."
"Did you put resin on your back before
you came homc?" inquired the old man,
as he broke big branch of a tree and
carelessly trimmed 1t.
"Ah, cheese it! You're giving me
taffy! Resin on my bsck! Amt you
getting kind of fresh? Go and sit on
ice."
This was enough, for James Mason,
ST., made one reach, gathered part of a
coat, an ear and several locks of hair,
and then an uninterrupted wad of light

mingled with cries from the boy and

MINING INTERESTS OF GALLATIN CO.

Heretofore the first thought of every.
body has been that Gallatin county was
a strictly agricultural and stock raising
country. and the class of people who
naturally drifted here in consequence Of
these impressions were only those whose
tastes and inclinations led them in that
direction. 1t has grown and prospered
under these interests alone and shows a
steady and increasing wealth, permanent
and abiding, and no section of our terri
tory is on surer and certain foundation
for the future, but developments are now
being made and the indefatigable energy
of the prospector, whose ardor is not
dampened by successive failures, is bring
ing to light mining interests which will
prove to be of no secondary importance,
and we predict that the output from the
mines now embraced within the limits of
Gallatin county will equal, if they do not
eclipse, many parts now purely mining
districts. Commencing at Mill creek,
where numerous lodes have been located
showing large bodies of mineral and
some of them very rich, We find the
Henry Willard Mining Company engaged
in active operations to bring under
hydraulic power the immense gravel de-
posits between there and Emigrant
Gulch, and to say the least, we are IN
formed that prospects are very flattering.
Emigrant Gulch has long been known as
good placer ground and many lodes have
been discovered and partially developed,
and assays show a good grade of ore.
From theirs we next come to Bear Gulch,
which has heretofore paid well in plac-
ers SO far as has been worked and also
has some as fine leads as anywhere and
which have produced good yields under
the slow and tedious process of the
"Arastra," an old Spanish method Of re-
ducing ores. Crevice comes next, and
the same may be said of that, and then
last but not least, the famous Clarke's
Fork mines which promises more than
the imagination can conceive. Already
heavy investments by eastern capitalists
have been made and the prospects are
that. rapid developments will be made in
this section the coming summer.
Another reason, and q paramount one,
why Gallatin county has not taken rank
for its mining interests arises from the
fact that all the mines above alluded to
have been on what was a part of the
Crow Reservation, which was only final
ly coded to the Government last year,
and as consequence both labor and
capital were timid about investing any
more than was absolutely necessary to
establish foothold. In this connection
we may also mention the mines located
on the head Of the Boulder, upon which

: The first page Of the Pioneer Press Of
June ID, il. defoted to a special cores
pondence of date May 25th from Boze-
man in which the writer gives . glowing
account of the resources and attractions
of Bozeman and the Gallatin valley; also
numerous cuts of the prominent public
and business blocks of the city. 1t is an
able article and not overdrawn. We do
not think that the wood cuts look near
as well as the buildings they intend to
represent. The correspondent has evil
IDENTIFY taken some pains to make himself
acquainted with his subject and the as
sertions made are backed up by good
authority. Indeed it would be almost
impossible to draw too strong a picture
of the immense advantages this new west
offers to those who are seeking new
homes. In no country can such home
be SO quickly made. In no country can
land be made to bear its rich fruits 80
abundantly, with such little labor and SO

westward, it took, years to hew out q

but here, the amount that can be made

duction is only limited by the means and
facilities fos farming, and there is plenty
of it left yet. We quote what Mr.. NJ. w.
Anderson says in his forthcoming pam
phlet, upon thecereal product and amount
of acreage in, Gallatin valley. The author
is pa:nstaking and reliable collector of
statistics. 1.-THE cereal products of Gal
latin county, for the season of 1882 was
7O3, 1861 bushels, 554 ,O52 of oats, al ,746
bushels of wheat, and 400 bushels Of
barley. The market value of these pro-
ducts on the farm was $574, 282, divided
as follows: Oats, 1887 1886; wheat, $17S,-
s66; barley, 81 $50. The oats were nearly
all sold in the county at profit of fifteen
to twenty cents per hundred, and the
wheat manufactured into -four by our
own mills, with a handsome profit to
mill owners and others. Gallatin county
has twice the average of improved lands
of fanny other county in Montana, with
one exception, that of Meagher county,
which has 1881 acres. 1t has nearly
one-fourth of all the improved land in
the Territory, the actual figures being
49, 35 acres in Gallatin county; 397, sos
acres in el0en other counties, an aver
age of 80, 1901 acres each. These figures
are really startling and do not tell half.
