The Northwest Prosperlng.

ST. PAUL, July 2.-Hon, Frederick
Billings, who has just returned from q
four weeks trip over the Northern Paci-
fic, says crops are looking better than on
any previous visit. In Washington ard
Oregon the crops are looking exception
ally fine, and farmers are receiving for
old heat twenty per cent more than at
this time last year. Business all along
the road is picking up wonderfully.
The earnings of the Northern Pacific
read for June were s1O,11683, against
S11 ,430 for June of last year. The net
receipts were about the same as a year
ago, as the operating expenses have been.
much reduced.

Sweet Grass Gold.

Fred. Derwenf and Mr.. Marion, who
were among the discoveries of the Sweet
Grass placers, arrived in the city from
the mines last evening and brought with
them substantial evidence of the fact
that gold is to be had therein the shape
of sack of "dust" that weighed $780,
We learn that there are now about
twenty-five men in the mines, and that
all who work are making fair wages.
The ground is very rich in portions Of
the gulch, yielding generally from thirty
to fifty cents to the pan. Strange to say
the richest ground is found up on the
side Of the hill or mountain, and in
some cases they have to carry it half
mile to Water-and can make good wa
ges doing so.
w. B. Smith, Jeff. Devereaux and
two others have found good diggings
several miles from discovery gulch, but
their camp has not been found by others.
But little prospecting, it seems, has yet
been done and other and richer strikes
will probably be made The gulehes
where pay has been found are extensive
and with the scarcity of water that OBJ
tains can not be worked out in a season
or two.
We have been informed on good au-
thority that no very stringent effort will
be made to keep the miners out of the
Sweet Grass. The agent will follow his
instructions and notify them to go-and
that will probably be the last of it.

. Cutting Down the Force.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-A number
of transfers and removals took place to-
day and it is expected that more will
take place tomorrow. Twenty clerks
in the classified service will be dropped
from the roll and the force in the office
of the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. and of the Register will be reduced
by transfers to other offices. The former
loses about thirty clerks and the latter
about twenty. Most of the clerks drop
ped were recently borne on the rolls of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, but were
detailed to work in other offices. The
changes in the Registers office is due to
reduced appropriation. Several changes
in the Navigation Bureau which had
been provided for by Congress also went
into effect.

Montana Woods.

Montana Wools are arriving and prom
ise to sell at about last years prices-or
22c for fine medium, 19c for medium.
The condition is said to be better. A
wool grower in Montana is quoted in
the Textile Record as saying:
"The wool clip of the world has adj
vanced 85 per cent during the past 90
years, or four times faster than the pop
ulation, and yet prices have fallen only
p per cent. It is quite possible that
during the next Is or 20 years wool may
fall another 20 per cent, and yet the
business of wool growing, taken in con-
nection with the mutton product, in a
country so fitted by nature for the busi-
ness as Montana, will be one of the
most lucrative in the World.n 1t is fur
ther stated that 1.-The wool clip of the
United States for the year 1880 is said to
have been 264000,000 pounds, which
had increased to 337, 100000 pounds in
1884, and those best informed in the
business do not place the product for this
year at much greater figure, owing to
the fact that in the Eastern States large
numbers of sheep perished during the
cold weather. In this respect the f1ocks
of Montana were more fortunate, and
the loss from cold will be very small. -

Canadian Emigration.

OTTAWA, June 25.-In committee of
supply in parliament to-day the item of
$4,000 for immigration purposes was
taken up. Wells said he heard that the
number of outgoing passengers on the
st. Lawrence was equal to that of those
coming in. Mr.. Pope, minister of agri-
culture, said that up to the present time
the immigration was about one-third
less than that of last year Mr.. Blake
was opposed to the immigration policy
of the government. He objected to the
expenditure for assisted passages in the
face of the protest of all labor unions in
the dominion. The annual discussion
of the exodus to the United States was
then commenced. Sir John Macdonald
said that the government was consider
ing the question of sending assistance to
its settlers in the Northwest whose
houses had been destroyed or who had
been unable to putin crops during the
present year in consequence of the re-

Preparing for the Inevitable.

LONDON, June 30.-A dispatch from
Teherat states that 1000 Persians are at
work constructing the trans Caspian
railway, and war-like preparations are
still being continued by Russia. Ru-
mors are in circulation in the bazarrs of
Teheran that war will probably occur
after the trans -Craspian railway is COM
pleted to Merry.
The Russians are bridging the river
Munghab on the confines of Afghanis-
tan. Eight hundred Russian infantry
soldiers are at old Sarakhs, and Persians
are fortifying Persian Sarakhs and

A foundry has been started at Herat

How a Number of st. Louis1tes Have

Some Of the stock of the Granite
Mountain Mining company of Montana
is held by st. Louis parties. A letter
from the superintendent to the president
and trustees, detailing a "big strike, J"
nearly set the stockholders at the Mis-
souri, metropolis crazy, as will be seen
by the following from the Post-Dis-
patch:
The letter was received yesterday at
the office of the company and has been
sent out to all Of the stockholders; the
result has been tremendous boom in
the stock. Granite Mountain Mining
stock, which could be bought yesterday
morning at 81 a share, was selling in
the afternoon at $12. This morning It
was absolutely out of the market, and
quotations were simply nominal and
meaningless. Among the more fortu-
nate men who held this stock were Mr.
Chas. ID. Mcclure, the discoverer or the

N elhart.

Word has been received from Neihart
that the mining outlook is good. The
Mountain Chief is showing up splend-
idly, but Of the Montana Belle bat little
can be found out, as the men who are
working it will give no information, but
the supposition is that the mine is a
good one. The prevalent idea is that
the syndicate will take the mine on the
expiration of their bond.
Ed. Smith has about completed his
contract for getting in the machinery of
the Hudson Mining company.
Harry Burghart has gone East to get
the machinery for the new smelter on
Carpenter creek.
There is q feeling among the people
that Choteau county should do some
thing towards building road to the
camp. Neihart is now assuming suffi-
cient importance to warrant it, and
should it be constructed the trade will
all come to Benton.
