William A.

MIR w. A. Clark, of Butte City, Mont,
who is now in the city as member of
the national committee of the Bi-Metal-
hc association, is 8 typical illustration of
western nerve and shrewdness. Born in
Pennsylvania, he crossed the plains in
1862 behind bull team, stopped in Colo
rado for year and then went on 70
Montana, where he made fortune and
has resided ever since. He is at the
head of two banks, cne in Butte City
and one in Deer Lodge, is interested
with ex-senator Hill in one smelling
plant and owns another of his own, is
mixed up in mines and in pretty nearly
everything else that bears on the pros
perity of the territory He is striking
illustration of the progressive instincts
of the American character. Several
years ago he sent his children to Europe
to get the advantages of local educa-
tion in French and German, and recent
ly he has had them brought back to
learn the more practical education which
belongs to their own country. Part of
his business here is to urge the admis=
sion of Montana into the Union, and he
has been warmly received by the prasi-
dent on the several occasions when he
presented the claims of the territory.
In conversation Mr. Clark SAID: 'The
people of this country do not appreciate
the tremendous growth of Montana. The
output of the Butte district alone last
year was about $2O,000,0OO. The largest
portion of this production was copper.
A large proportion of the ores contain
silver and copper. All of them contain
copper, and all of the strictly silver ores
contain gold. Butte has population of
about 10000, it has three newspapers,
electric lights, all modern improvements,
and is growing with great rapidIty. The
monthly pay rolls of the mines in the
district average $7O0,000-a fact which
will give you an idea of how much pro-
duction there is Several of the mines
have already been explored from 700 to
1000 feet. and cur silver mills are the
most complete in the world. Last year
the bank of Clark & Larabie issued &c.
100000 of New York exchange fair
illustration of the general progress of
the district We carry about million
dollars on deposit, and while doing busi-
ness on a liberal western basis, the losses
of our bank have not reached $4,000
since 1870.
Our later emigration has been mainly
from the central northwestern states.
Before, it was largely from Missouri and
the southern states. The eastern por-
ton of the territory is a grazing section.
1t is is rolling country and has the
nutritious bunch grasses which do so
much to fatten cattle There are fully
million head there. Do think the ter
ritory will be admitted? l don't know.
We have 10000 population of the best
sort. have presented our state consti-
tuition to the president, but presume that
the result will depend entirely on what
is done about Dakota. ."-Hatchet

cattle Purchases.

r. B. Briggs, of the B. Ellis Cattle Co.,
whose range is on the Clarke's Fork, on
the Yellowstone, passed through this
city YESTERDAY morning from the vicinity
Of Lewiston, Idaho, where he purchased
a full brand of 500 cattle. These cattle
will be shipped from Sprague, W. T., ear
IL in May. He says that the Home
Land and Cattle Go. Of Custer county,
has purchased $4,000 worth Of cattle in
the vicinity of Lewiston, Idaho, which
they will ship to eastern Montana ranges.
He says that cattle for sale in that neigh
borhood are scarce. owing to the large
sales and shipments from there last year
He met half 4 dozen Montana buyers
there, who were not able to get what
they wanted and would have to 50 far
ther west. He reports grass about siz
inches high and peach trees in blossom
and that there was absolutely no los
during the winter. Independent.

ANeWspaper Field.

In Montana, while distances are so
"magnifcently long" the great daily
newspaper, containing full telegraphic
news at enormous expense, with its corps
of reporters and writer's, will not gain
the support it requires; the population
is insufficient. As an illustration, we
pointsto the Butte Miner, the best daily
in the territory. Helena is at present
the only newspaper field in the territory
for large daily, and even there it would
be difficult to sustain such paper as the
Miner. In commenting upon this mat
ter, the Miner says:
I'm Montana the natural field for the
leading newspaper is Helena. While
Butte is much larger and much more
important town, it is not SO centrally
located and does not offer the scope for a
large newspaper that the capital does.
lie spirit that characterizes the people Of
Helena. They are engaged in building
up a city They realize how much help
good, strong, influential newspaper
would be in this work. They would
take pride in a newspaper that would
reflect in some degree the intelligence
refinement and wealth of the city, and
would, we believe, literally assist it. In
view Of these facts. which must force
themselves upon the mind Of the mos
superficial observer, the Miner i
astounded that the field is 50 neglected
| One would expect to find the ordinary
news Of the day in the papers Of th'
capital, at least"

7, F. Cakes, yice-president and gener-
al manager of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, who has just returned to St. Paul
from New York, states in an interview
that it is the purpose of the company to
take steps in the United States circuit
court, looking to a dissolution of the
Paelnc rom tgeCcrng zine httv Ssrt lsqgr,
express company from its line. This
action is brou0ht about by the decision
which was recently rendered in the
United States supreme court against the
Pacific express. company in favor of the
Texas Pacific, ruling tl.at one common
carrier is not common carrier for an
other common carrier. This decision
has given universal satisfaction, and it is
the general wish that the Northern Paci-
fc will be successful in dissolving the
injunction which gives the Wells Fargc
the right to operate its property for it.

Gov. HauseP Talks.

Gov. Samuel T. Hauser, of Montana,
was at the Ryan Hotel yesterday, on his
way home from a four months sojourn
in the east. Most of this time was spent
in Washington, looking after the inter-
ests of the territory and bis own affairs
His business while east, was principally
in materializing plans for the encourage
ment of railroad building in the terri
tory. Speaking of those plans Yesterday,
he said
"As the Northern Pacific, under its
charter, cannot build branches in the
territory, necessarily its connections
must be made through outside companies
that construct these branches. In this
way, and as president of one of these
branches, l am connected with the rail-
road construction of that section. There
are three branch roads whose construc-
ton is proposed this year, and one-the
Ten Mile branch-will certainly be com
pleted. Then a line is planned to Fort
Benton, forty miles beyond the proposed
terminus of the Montana Central-Mr.
Hills new road. Just here / wish to say
that / am not opposed to Mr.. Hills rail
roads coming into our territory, Or any
other company doing So | am working
with the people of the territory for its
best interests. / appeared in Washing
ton before the congressional committee,
and argued for securing the right of way
for Hills and the Canadian Pacific roads
into the territory, as well as for the
other roads. Congress is going to reduce
the Indian reservation in the northern
part of the territory two-thirds, and will
third. This benefits every railroad now
proposing to enter the territory. The
Northern Pacific and Mr. Hill may fight
as much as they desire, but | am not
interested in that | had hoped at one
time that the Northern Pacific wouid
build an independent line to Butte City,
and I think still that they ought to have
done so. But they will, jointly with the
Union Pacific, operate the present road
to Butte, and make it broad guage.
Each road will run independent trains
on that line, and / fear that, (the con-
tract being a ninety nine year one) the
independent line will never be built.
Of other proposed lines know that one
is projected for the Bitter Root valley,
and another for the Flint Creek region.
All this means solely the development
of the mines. While in Washington
learned officially that the celebrated
timber order issued some months ago
and affecting the cutting of timber on
unsurveyed lands, was not intended to
affect Montana as whole, but was
aimed at and intended for the Montana
Improvement Company, whose connec
ton with the Northern Pacific railroad
company is suspected. The case is now
in the courts and is test one. ."-Pioneel
