A glance at this table shows that mining
is rs safe and profitable as any other busi-
ness or industry. Balancing the ledger, the
sum of s5,e7s,150 would remain over and
above the amount Of assessments levied dur
ing the year.-E1chdnge.
In connection with this II Ii proper to
add In explanation that II only includes such
companies rs are entered 1t the New York
and San Francisco stock exchanges, and has
no. reference to the dozens of most produc-
tive and best paying mines In Montana, that
are not quoted on the board. In fact we only
know OF one or Two Montana mines that 1t
can refer to. Were the profits Of Montana
mines all given we have no doubt they
would largely exceed those of any State or
Territory named on the above list.

THE Dillon n ibune says that deputy dis
trict clerks in the several judicial districts Of
Montana, under the method Of these places
being alarmed out" by the district clerks,
have to "givs up" one-fourth Of the proceeds
of their Offices TO the latter. We do not un-
dertake TO speak for other districts, but we
will venture to say without consulting Clerk
Davis that no such system prevails In this
district. + Mr.. Chas. 8. Warren Is deputy at
Butte and the deputyship there is worth
more than the clerkship here. Mr.. Chas.
ii. Penrose is deputy at Missoula and the
emoluments are comparatively small. Yet
we are satisfied neither make, or have been
asked to make, any division with Mr.. Davis.
We ask TO have the Second Judicial District
omitted from the list Of those whore the sys-
TEN prevails OF addition, division, and 81
lence."

SECRETARY OF STATE FRELINeHUYsEN
hasssnt to the Chinese Minister ct Washing
ton note of which the following Is the ma
terial substance: "on the 2Sth of June, 1882,
the Charge de Affairs nd interim Of your le-
cation, Mr.. Tsu Chan Pang, wrote TO me
touchingthe question arising under the act
of May o, 1882, relative to the transit across
the territory Of the United States OF Chinese
laborers proceeding to, or returning from
Cuba and other foreign countries. | am
happy to inform you that this Government
has reached the conclusion that the transit
through the United States Of Chinese sub
jjects proceeding TO or from third country,
Is permissible under the act in question, with
certain precautions against abuses" The re-
lations Of the treaty and the act and the OBJ
ject the United States bad in view are then
recapitulated as sustaining the above decis.
ion. II Is right. As long as Cinnamon
bring no infectious diseases and that coun-
try and this are on amicable terms, what
right or sense is there In preventing them
from passing directly through or across this
country as a route Of travll? The act OF
June 2s, 1882, was designed primarily 10
prevent the interference Of degraded alien
Labor with that Of worthy citizens, and indi.
rectly to break up the pernicious and in
creasing nests Of Chinese dens In the cities
and towns. The direct transit Of Chinese
travellers across American soil does not in
terfere with either of these objects.

THERE are two sides to most everything
under the sun. So there is a dark and
bright side to the mining industry. Recent
issues of the San Francisco Bulletin, very
reliable commercial paper, have shown up
some of the improbable features of mining
In the Pacific States and Territories. 1t gave
list Of 1856 mines In Nevada, California,
Utah, Idaho, Alaska, Arizona, Dakota, Low
er California and Mexico, that have largely
depended on the aid received from stock
holders during the year for their. work and
existence. These mines called for $780,
600 In assessments in the past twelve months.
This is the dark side of mining. On the
other hand the Bulletin shows the bright
side, which Is deserving Of record. 1t pub
fishes the following carefully prepared table

For the first time In Its history Montana is

This is extremely gratifying, and reflects
not Only credit upon our Territorial officers,
but exhibits the growing wealth and re-
sources Of Montana. II is now good time
TO begin . reduction of taxation. During
the past year several counties have been
compelled 10 increase their taxes. In all
they are high, higher than elsewhere through
out the Union, with the exception Of three
or four States like Louisiana and Nevada.
The Territorial taxes should be reduced so
as merely pay current expenses. These have
amoantej during the past year to SOL, 067.52.
The Territorial taxation during the past year
has been one mill, but as values are rapidly
increasing, q tax of . half mill for 1855
would doubtless pay current expenses and
leave small surplus In tbs treasury. The
one mill tax prodacsd revenue In 1882 Of
1856. SO more than In 1881. 1t 10 prob.
able that the increase In 1883 would be pro.
portionately larger, Is before the assessment

ple.ed and values greatly enhanced.

CHEBOYGAN BLAST FURNACE.

To the NORTHERN TRIBUNE,
The TRIBUNE is recognized as an cfTi-
cient advocate of all that interests Che
bOygan, and / would like to suggest
through your columns some thoughts.
Why don't the moneyed men of Che
bOygan try and induce some capitalist of
enterprise to start blast furnace in or
near the village of ChebOygan, for the
purpose of smelling iron ore into pig
iron. Thousands of tons of iron ore are
shipped daily past Cheboygan's port in
summer, to Detroit Cleveland and Buff
falo, and other places of much less
favorable chances for the manufacture
Of pig iron than ChebOygan. 1t is we'll
known that Detroit furnaces have to
ship charcoal by rail from north of Gay
lord, Mich, which must add greatly to
the expense of smelling iron; and from
Marquette to Detroit by water is about
630 miles to ship their ore, with the tow
bill up and down the Sault River, must
add also to the expense of maAufactur-
ing pig iron, to what it would If manu-
featured at Cheboygan. The iron port
of Escanaba is only 126 miles about due
west of Cheboygan, where all grades of
iron ore can be obtained from the Me-
nominee and Lake Superior iron ranges,
and Chetoygan being located on the
thoroughfare of commerce, where, at

the lower, or eastern end of the straits
of Mackinaw, where all vessels of lake
Michigan to lower ports have to pass
close to ChebOygan harbor, and with the
navigable river passing through the vii
lage, and good chances for dOckage, and
with its wonderful inland navigation of
beautiful rivers and lakes, on which there
Is an abundance of fine hardwood timber
to make charcoal, and could be carried di-
rect to furnace were it located on the
bank Of Cheboygan river; and also with
railroad running through large tract
of hard wOOdlin the south part of ChebOy-
gan county. The wood could be made
into coal and shipped with little expense
to ChebOygan. There is plenty of lime
stone convenient which is necessarily
used In the furnace to separate the Gin
ders and dirt from the iron. ChebOygan
is also supplied with brick, which is
used largely for building coal kiIns and
lining up furnaces, Cheboygan could
get her pig iron at first cost to make her
many castings, and were there a fur
mace located at ChebOygan with her
abundance of the different kinds of tim
Der and iron also, Think other manufac-
turers would soon follow suit. 1t would
enable the land owners to sell their
lands to settlers; it would help the set
tier, they could clear their lands, sell
the wood. raise their crops and live at
home. 1t would settle up the county.
increase the population of the county;
1t would greatly increase the in
inland navigation trade, and would de-
mand an appropriation to deepen her
channels. 1t would help the tug men
lighting down coal and wood. 1t would
help the brick manufacturers. 1t would
increase the prosperity of the county
and towns generally. 1t would Increase
the shipping in Cheboygan harbOr and
demand an additional appropriation for
the improvement thereof. With all the
advantages that surround ChebOygan it
might be much larger and more thriv-
ing city than it is. OF course it is
growing very nicely this last year. Che
bOygan has good mills that cut large
amount of pine lumber every year. good
stores and docks, but she wants the iron
manufactured in her village, and by
corresponding with iron manufacturers,
showing up her facilities for the manu-
facture of the metal, think Cheboygan
might secure smelling works in the
near future. My wish is that she may
