Dillon has never had what in Western

Dillon has never had what in Western
parlancc is termed a "boom." As ter
minal railroad town, it was probably one of
the livelicst ever known. but since it has de-
pended upon the resources of its surround
ing country and the legitimate business
drawn to it theroflom, it has had Il constant
and continnou, growth. No year. since its
first, has seen SO much money expended in
substantial improvements. us 1885 and
1886 bids fair to fa1 exceed it. The stocks
Of good; carried here are a; heavy rs in
any town ii the Territory. and its meT
chants IL; cntcrprising. Its banks show Il
deposit Of over $2OO.OOO. and in 1885 the
First National Bank drew over Ss3,OOO,WN,
in exchange The development Of mines
in Tho surrounding country has added
largely to its trade the past season, and indi
cations are that this branch of business
will soon become n very important factor
in The growth and prosperity Of the town.
The shipments of wool, beef hides, ores
and bullion are steadily increasing every
year The town now has population of
1000 and Judging from the past it is not
Improbable, but on the contrary almost Ger
tain, that in five years from now Dillon will
be 4 city Of ten thou sand inhabitants

Farming is not yet pursued to any great
extent but certainly will be in the near flu
t,,re. as numerous experiments in that direc-
ton have invariably been rewarded with
highly gratifying results. Ranches are nu-
merous. and new and prosperous settlers
are constantly arriving. Consequently the
unoccnpied land is growing beautifully less.
