growing States in the West, have

the price of wheat for the fall trade.

but wait, for brief period at least
for better figures, which we are sure
they will realize.

make daily excursion trips from An
napolis, leaving her wharf foot of
Main street, at 2 p. M, returning to
the city about six o'clock, thus giving
a trip of four hours on the beautiful

an amicable settlement with its credit
ors. The direct liabilities are $500, 900,

are contingent liabilities that have not
yet been aggregated. The assets are
rather difficult to ascertain beyond the
amount of stock on hand. The COM

Montana mining property, which was
the rock on which it split. The credit

Sweet Grass Mines.

The RIvERPREss publishes a letter from
Dan and Joe who had spent two months
prospecting in the Sweet Grass hills.
They speak very e~ncouragingly OF
Jhe prospects, and say: 1--WE found
<tw%enty-three places where galena crop
ped out in great quantities. Have a
good party of miners ready and, if the
government don't settle with the In
dians for hat country we will. The
scenery everywhere is beautiful and ro-
mantle. When we left the mines they
were protected by four or five feet of
snow"
Dan and Joe write like men who
know what they are about, and who are
likely to do what they propose. I'm
less this country is 500 redeemed from
its nominal Indian possessors, the min
Iers will take possession, and hold it in
spite of all the warriors Of the reserva-
ton; and Uncle Sam may have trouble
to remove them. These miners are a
different lot from Captain Payne and
his invaders Of the Indian territory
