The Manitoba will reach here by next Oc-
tober. We viii have two outlets to east
ern markets by way Of trans-continental
lines. It is conceded by the best author
tiles that at no other point adjacent to the
Rocky mountains are combined such ad-
vantages for the cheap reduction OF ores
as at this place. The greatest available
water-power in the world, reinforced with
coaking coal. iron and lime. stu
ated in a comparatively low altitude and
in close proximity to the ore fields. With
in seven miles of Great Falls lies a vast
field of coal, the best found west of the
Mississippi; grouped with this are great
deposits Of iron ores. Behind these, in
| the rich store houses Of nature are rich
deposits of precious metals. The Neihart
camp less than forty miles away, is destin-
| ed to be the most important mining dis
trict in the territory. By its location it
! will, of necessity, be directly tributary to
this town.
The district lately opened at the head
of Sand Coulee. will add another impor-
tant link to the chain. Directly surround
ing Great Falls, and stretching for miles
to the north and east are vast tracts OF
agricultural lands. The natural adyan-
tages resultant from this juxtaposltlon
of agricultural. stock and mining districts
cannot be over estimated. Farmers and
s~tockn1en are guaranteed, by the immense
coal-ields. cheap and frst-class fuel: by
the timber of the mountains and the mag
niicent brown stone and white sand stone,
o~uarries Of which lie within easy reach,
they are supplied with cheap building
materials. They also have a ready home
market for their products in the mining
dietricts and the latter in turn, profit By
these supplies. Through Great Falls all
these exchanges must be made. The
timber brought down the river, will be
sawed here, the wheat from the prairies
ground here, the ieecy products from the
ranges will be woven into fabrics; and
here too, the treasures from the mines
will be distributed. We might go OF. IN
definitely stating our reasons for the faith
. that is in us, but anyone, who knows any
t thing Of the history Of other places, can
see that with such natural endowInents,
/ and unlimited capital with which to take
{ advantage of them, the future OF Great
Falls is insured.

THE FESTIVE FOUNDER.

We are often asked by eastern parties
what kind of an animal a "roundef" is. A
rounder is not indigenous to Montana. He
is known in the states as "bum." The
name "rounder' is picked off the range,
taken from the hardy men who used to go
about every year rounding up the cattle.
When they struck a town they kept on
rounding up everything they got hold OF.
AS the cowboys were about all the white
men there were here in the early days.
A cattle s.rounder' and town "rounder''
became identical. Now that the old cow
BOYS have become ~millionaires and have
little time for fun, the town ''rounder"
has been applied to all those jolly fellows
in town who 60 about to the saloons and
| other places of boisterous amusement
| and have a hurrah time. The "rounder''
which we see every day is not all bad
either. He is a little tough, full of nerve
will fight at the drop at a hat and then
make up as quickly. He is stranger to
tear. Is c1lValFlC NHeI TIE HCdhCl oiuV IL
being worsted. He will spill his last droT
of blood in defense of a good woman, or a
| child, and shows Christian magnanimity
to d fallen foe. He will "bet'ur" on any
thing. Is a prince today, a beggar tomor-
row. His generosity is limited only by
his "piIe." "Rounder' is rough ready and
rollicking. lie drinks deep and swears
loud. He is an angry lion this minute, the
next, when a tender chord is touched, as
gentle as a young mother. "Rounder" is
a strange combination of good and evil
But he is always frank to acknowledge
his f~ailings. Perhaps when the final ac-
counts are balanced, s.rounders may have
Il larger credit on the big books than some

stances which have surrounded our lives.

OUR REASONS.

If there is any special class of people
we despise it is that known as 'booners."
Without energetic, public-spirited men TO
show to the world what inducements a
town offers. nc place could amount to any
thing. But we refer to those who, regard
less of truth boom a paper town to the linn
it and then unload just before the bauble
bursts. In regard to Great Falls, all we
need proclaim is the exact facts. We in
vite the world to come here and investigate
our resources for themselves. 1t anyone
finds that we have made a mis-statement
we shall be only too glad to correct It.
Great Falls might we'll be represented as a
cornucopia, into which, mountains, rivers,
valleys and plainsp pour their vast treasures.
Why SO many elements should gather
around one place and compete in the rich
ness of their several gifts, we cannot TN
derstand any more than we can fathom the
mystery of a fate which makes some child
rem born to fortune and some men TO a
great destiny; but 50 it is. Where else can
such a combination Of advantages as Great
Falls offers, be found? An immense wa
ter-power. directly tributary thereto, on

THIS INTERESTING NARRATIVE ENDS
If Comstock could nave gone on relating
his wonderful experiences, what curious
and strange reading matter some OF 1t
would make. As it was, he died a poor
and miserable sinner with scarcely a
friend to close his eyes; and yet his name
will live in history long after kings and
presidents are forgotten. If this man had
only kept all he owned, your Goulds,

running these mines was something quite
startling. The consumption of wood for
| fuel and timbering in the different tunnels
was simply When the mines
were ia full blast it required over 20O
cars daily to convey timber over the
Virginia and Truckee railroad to supply
them. From 1878 to 1890 over 1000 cords
Of wood were used daily, and prior to the
closing down of the lower levels the daily
consumption of fuel was over 400 cords.
More than $40, 100000 has been spent so
far in supplying fuel for the machinery
alone, and it has cost as much to timber

but it can never equal our great Montana
camp. which is, | believe, the best mining
camp in the world today. Only a few
years ago Butte was a struggling mining
village; now it is a thriving. prosperous
city of nearly 10000 people. There was
but one Virginia City in Nevada, and but
one Leadville in Colorado, but Montana

The City Bank, which has carried on
