Ramshorn to Georgia gulch better known
US the Tidal Wave district large veins of
argentiferous galena have been found and
opened, besides those of similar character
to the ones above mentioned. On the east
side of the range, too, from Boulder to
Meadow creek, are districts which are equal
ly promising, and the near future promises
results that will "astonish the natives" by
their magnitude. On this side, especially
in the Sterling district, u large percentage
Of copper is found in the mines sufficient,
in many cases, to pay the cost Of mining,
freight, and transportation. leaving the
precious metals as net profit TO the owner.
! might dilate at large upon the results al
ready obtained from these mines and tell
what the assays have been: but, as space is
limited, will merely say that the quartz
mines of Madison county are numerous, we'll
defined, and rich. Their contents are,
mainly, gold, silver, copper, lead, and iron.
The yield from the quartz mines Of Madison
county in 1885 has been at least double that
Of 1884, and three times as much as that of
any other year in the past fifteen. The
erection, in Virginia City, Of an improved
gold and silver mill, with roasting furnaces
Sturtevant pulverizers, combination pans
improved settlers, etc, is expected to give
a great impetus to quartz mining, and other
districts are anxiously awaiting its compile
ton and will watch with intense interest its
workings. There is no doubt, either with
the mill men or The miners, that unqualified
success will be The verdict. While would
not be over sanguine, l bu. express The pop
ular confidence when I say that the quartz
mines are among the most important re-
sources of The county.
But mining is by no means the only source
Of Madison county's prosperity. In agri-
culture, few regions have better facilities,
or more fertile arabic lands than she. The
Ruby valley has always since the settlement
of the Territory, been noted for the uni
formly good crops Of cereals produced, and
when IN increase of marketing facilities
justifes the farmer in enlarging his scope
Of operations, the area Of cultivated lands
will be greatly augmented. At present, but
little of the bench land is utilized These
are known, too, to be our best wheat lands;
but the husbandman has hitherto been able
to keep up with the market by farming the
low bottoms. The cultivation of the bench
lands can only be effected by the construc-
ton of capacious canals for irrigation plr-
poses, and while he could supply the mar
| ket without incnrrinp The exnpnse IF hnild

ing, will necessitate corresponding in
crease of farm produce; and, as the tide of
the eastern and southern surplus is being
turned in other directions, the agriculturist
must be prepared to meet the emergency
by increasing his acreage The superior
climatic advantages which Madison county
possesses cannot but, when this emergency
presents itself, give the Madison county
farmer a commanding prominence among
the food-producers of the Territory, and
vastly accelerate the strides of the whole
county in the march toward wealth and sta
ton in the commonwealth.
Still another industry which yields hand
some profits TO those who engage in it is the
business Of horse and stock raising. The
large proportion which the agricultural and
mineral lands occupy Of the total area Of
Tic county precludes the possibility Of horse
and cattle breeders grazing cumbrously
large herds upon the ranges; but this fact
rebounds to the advantage Of Madison
county rs q region for the rearing Of fine
stock. There are now upon its stock farms
the purest blood and finest strains to be
found in the Territory, and the most fash
ionable families Of thoroughbred and trot-
ting horses, rs vol as Of thoroughbred
horned stock are represented in it's stables
and herds. The truth of the axiom, 1T
costs no more to raise a thoroughbred than
a scrub" has been. abundantly proven by
~
growers, and the results in the enhanced
prices which the animals bring when ready
for market, as well as the sound financial
standing of those who have intelligently
and systematically carried on the business
is conclusive evidence of the profit there is
in it when so conducted M.=
It is not worth while, here, to speculate
upon the supershucture of subordinate in
dustries which might be built upon foun-
dation of these that have been briefly de-
scribed. Summed up the resources Of
Madison county mainly consist Of her
placers, her quartz mines, her agricultural
lands, and her pasturage. These furnish
substantial basis for the upbuilding of
prosperous, self-sustaining community, and
that they will continue to do SO, no one who
intelligently watches the progress of de-
| velopments can well doubt. They are foun-
dations that are solid; they are those, which
have sustained other and older communi-

increase in the annual yield of "dustt"
Besides Alder gulch, Biven's, Harris, Bur-
toms, and some OF the smaller neighboring
gulches and ravines are being worked at Il
good profit, and preparations age being
made for extensive fuming operations in
Ramshorn gulch. As matter of fact,
Messrs Herman Il Co. have good portion
of the f,,me required fo,: their enterprise
already laid twill doubtless be in paying
operation before next season is ended. With
prospective increase Of the present output
Of three hundred thousand dollars worth Of
gold dust per annum, and with thousands
of acres Of paying ground which only awaits
the release Of the water from present work
ings, there is no speculation in setting down
placer mining as one of the leading indus
tries and principal resources Of the county.
l venture tho assertion that when it ceases
to be paying business in Madison county,
there will be very few living members en-
rolled in the Society of the Pioneers OF Mon
tana.
Important as placer mining must con-
tinue to be as an element Of wealth to Mad
ison county, it bids fair to be soon over
Swallowed by the growth Of its sister indus
try-quartz mining. Most of your home
readers are we'll aware what high hopes
have swelled the breasts Of quartz miners
and prospectors when Dame Fortune led
them to one Of the innnmerablc "creyiccs"
with which the county abounds; and know
fully as well how often these hopes have
been blasted by the pinching out" of the
aforesaid creyiccs, or the impecuniosity
which forced the poor fellows to abandon
their property becau5e they had not the
means to even represent it, much less to de-
velop it. Well, some, who possessed more
"sand" or more plethoric wallets perhaps
both-have stayed with their properties I'M
til they a1e sufficiently developed to attract
the attention Of mining investors, and now
there is considerable work being done in
the quartz mines, and good prospect for a
large increase during the next year. Within
radius of five miles of Virginia City, your
correspondent could point to over dozen
we'll defined quartz lodges which have been
opened to q depth of over two hundred feet,
and to several which have been opened four
hundred feet and upwards From most of

Help for Ireland

EDITOR CLARION: Throughout this
country an earnest appeal is now being
made Tor contributions TO the 'Parliamen-
tarv FUND.- in behalf of poor old Ireland,
and the tirae seems auspieious for her
friends in Mississippi to lay her necessities
it, her struggle for Home Rule" before
the people. A gallant band OF freedom
loving sons of the Green Isle have been
and are still making gallant fight Tor her
rights in the British Parliament, and the
results are before every reader OF current
events, bat that they are doing so at their
own expense, and al a sacrifice OF every
personal interest il not generally known.
Most of them are poor men, and are ex-
pending their sole remaining means Tor
the good OF their couutrymen. Appe ais
are being made to the patriotic IN every
section for the sinews of war, in order that
the good work so happily begun may be
carried TO successful and trlumphan'
fruition. Judging by the successes already
attending the efforts of our friends IN
Parliament, no one can doubt the final
triumph OF Ireland's efforts for Home
Rule. We hope that Mississippi will mol
be found wanting in her contributions fol
the aid of a people seeking their freedom
who were among her bravest defenders II
her darkest hour of need.

Il Should Not Become a Law

A bill has been introduced in the L..
5. Senate by Senator Wilson, of Iowa,
proposing to double the rate of postage
on fourth-elass matter, making it two
cents per ounce in place of one cent as
at present. This class embraces various
articles of printed matter, other than
newspapers, and by consent ard common
usage it also includes articles of general
merchandise which in form or nature
are not liable to damage the contents OF
the mail bag. While the measure does
net therefore directly affect newspapers,
the principle is against public policy
and consequently wrong. 1t is wholly
in favor of the Express Companies and
against the merchants and the people
throughout the country who use the
mail for the transportation of small
parcels The effect of doubling the
postage would not be 10 increase the
postal revenue nor appreciably decrease
the expenses. ont it would enable Ex
press Companies (who now, IN competi
ton, carry soMe articles cheaper thar
the Goyerumeut) to advance their rate
aud still under cut the postal rates. We
hope the Senator'S aud Representative
from Mississippi will be solid agains
the bill.
