might be expected from either side tt
pass the bill especially if it had
passed. the house by strong vote. As
regards New Mexico, there are deep.
rooted objections to comforting statehood
upon her, but these are Offset by the me-
cessity for securing an equal number of
senators from each party and by the long
probation which New Mexico has under
gone as territory. In population and
area New Mexico is qualified to under
take the duties of statehood, and emerge
from that condition Of dependence which
is injurious to herself and costly to
the country. She has been a ter
ritory since 1850, and is now as
we'll fitted for higher rank as she may be
for some years to come.
The country will expect that both par
ties in congress shall deal with this ques-
ton in patriotic, earnest spirit. There
are no obstacles even from the plane Of
party politics, which cannot be overcome
if both sides display the sincerity which
the American people demand on the part
of their representatives.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The first quarter of1888 has closed will
fair prospects that the remainder Of TIL
year will be prosperous. In the meta
market prices continue high enough tc
encourage manufactures to keep theil
furnaces busy. Pig iron which sold a
year ago for $21 to $s1.50, still sells at
the same prices, although orders might
be placed at $2050. Bar iron commands
the same prices that it did in 1887, but
steel rails are quoted at $3.50, while a
year ago the market was firm at $50 to
$40, owing in part to the heavy orders for
western railroads. These prices are salts
factory when it is considered that in 1884
pig iron sold for $1S per ton, and that
steel rails fetch ed only $26.50.
The copper market which concerns
Montana closely, continues firm. Copper
which sold for 1917 cents per pound in
1884 now brings I6 cents. This frmness
is due of course to the operations of Sec
retains Industrial and Commercial Metal
Company which controls the copper pro-
duct Of the world. This company which
last year made $3,2OOOOO on bapital of
has acquired $4,000 shares of
the Boston & Montana Company's stock,
thus displaying disposition to become
more closely connected with American4
business.
Lead likewise commands a fair price.
1t sells in New York for $40 cents per
pound, while year ago it sold for 4.3s |
cents. In 1884 it was as low as 3.12
cents. The high price of lead benefits
The silver mining industry which also
enjoys fair degree of prosperity at the
New York price which is 934 cents per
ounce.
1t may be seen from these details that
he great metal industries on which so
much depends are in good condition.
There is strong reason to expect that
PRICES will remain firm, enabling miners
o make fair profits without injury to in
[ustries in general.

THE SPRINGER BILL,

The democratic caucus has done a
praiseworthy act in declaring that enabl-
ing bills should be passed for the admis-
sion as states of Montana, Dakota, Wash
ington and New Mexico. This makes
the Springer bill party measure and
it should be pushed with all the energy
which that demands. In the senate, the
republican majority in the committee on
territories favor the Baker bill, which
proposesto admit South Dakota, Montana
and Washington. The merits of the bills
willLbe weighed from senatorial point
of view. Mr.. Springer doubtless calcu-
lates that his bill will add four democratic
and four republican senators to the SEN
ate while Senator Bakers measure
would add two democratic and four re-
publican senators. The Springer bill is
the fairest as regards senators and &C.
cordingly is the best adapted to meet the
approval of both the house and senate for
neither party is willing to reduce its SEN
atorial strength. The chief obstacles to
the Springer bill are the division fight in
Dakota and the objections to the invest
ing of New Mexico with statehood. As
the Springer bill is now party measure,
it ought receive full democratic vote.
This with moderate number of republi-
can votes would ensure its success in the
house. In the senate, enough votes

1t appears from calculation based or
this table that the average distance of ore,
producing districts named is 1862 miles
the range being from 1872 to 1893 miles
Great Falls compares favorably with
Denver in this respect The Belt noun
tain region which includes the mining
camps of Barker, Neihart and Yogo is
within from 80 to so miles of this city.
The so mile circuit in the Murphy
Maclay map includes the entire district.
The 80 mile circuit on the same map
takes in the Castle mountain district and
the mineral lands in and around Mays
Vile, the seat of the famous Drum Lum-
mon mine. Butte with its immense min
eral deposits is even nearer by railroad to
Great Falls, than all except two of the
districts whence Denver derives ore for
her three immense smelters. As re-
CARDS grades the difference is also strik-
ingly in favor of Great Falls, whose ele-
walton is much lower than that of Butte
and the Drum Lummon region.
ln'coal the difference is also greatly in
our favor. Canon coal, the best quality
supplied to Denver, is hauled from Coal
Creek, distance Of 1877 miles. Coke has
been procured from Ell Moro and sent
thence to Denver by way of Pueblo which
is 100 miles from the capital. Here the
Sand Coulee mines are within Is miles of
the smelter and the coke ovens will be
the same distance.
These fgules merit careful study by
all interested in smelters Or mining. Ac-
cording to the Leadville document "every
ton of bullion produced during the past
year by one of our smelters has given the
railroads in freights such as bullion,
coke, charcoal, lime rock, stone coal, and
freight on other supplies necessary to
produce that one ton of bullion 928.7O."
At Great Falls the expenditure for freight
must be considerably less than this for
the distances will be much shorter as has
been shown.
In Leadvilles we are told that ''the total
average value per ton for the past year
shows 20 ounces OF silver and IA per
cent lead" The Belt mountain grades
are much better than this both in silver
and lead SO that as regards the quality of
the ore our position is strong also.

THE GREAT FALLS ROUTE,
Glorious Scenery Between Great Falls
and Helena,


and Helena,
| The title Of "The Scenic Route" could
certainly be most Justly assumed by the
Montana Central railroad. Nowhere
among the mountain lands of the earth,
is there so magnificent blending of the
weird, the grand and the picturesque, as
is presented in the mighty panorama Of
changing landscape through which it has
wrought its iron path, and the most vivid
descriptive portrayals can shadow forth
but dlmly, the majesty and beauty which
entrance the traveller, from the beginning
to the end Of his journey over this noun
tain-climbing, chasm-leaping railroad
line.
Its rugged entrance from the wide val
ley lands and fertile plateaux of the Mis-.
souri,, through the mighty gorge at the
head of which stand the cloud-swept
portals of the Gate Of the Mountains.
and the deep cleft canyon of the
Prickly Pear, is the most fitting one to
the territory, whose purple domes and
sunny peaks are among the grandest of
the world, and should the tourist extend
his wayfarings no farther, he has wit
messed series of mountain views, such
as none other of the deepest recesses Of
the continent can reveal.
The Prickly Pear canyon is a deep,
sometimes precipitous gorge through
which, the little stream whence it derives
its name threads its way, laughing.
ilmpid, mountain brook flowing over
beds of golden sands and many tinted
pebbles. Along its course the road foil
lows over grassy slopes, and across rocky
clefts, in which the tiny flood is lashed
into torrents of lilliputian fury. Dim
heights between whose jutting crags only
q thin thread Of blue sky glimmers like
ribbon of light, shadowing gloomy re-
cesses where dripping moss and fernclad
dells are rarely gladdened by raw Of

GUS ridges covered with forests of wayine

The Helena Herald joins with the PEG
pie Of Cascade county in rejoicing at the
promotion of General Brooke. It says
1.-THE rank and file cannot forget, ever
after nearly quarter of a century, the
brave Pennsylvania as he appeared
handling his splendid command at Fail
Oaks, at Gaines Mill, at Peach Orchard,
at Savage's Station, at White Oak Swamp,
at Malvern Hill, and at Harrison's Land
ing. In the after campaigning, at Spott-
sylvania, at Cold Harbor, and at other Of
the Wilderness battles and in the closing
engagements of the war, Brooke added
new garlands to his glorious chaplet, and
whether maneuvering q brigade or mar
shaling division he was always where
many generals always were not-where,
he could see and be seen. This is the
soldier who has just been honored with a
brigadier's star. 1t is his by right by
merit. The people of Montana are right
glad he has got it." So say we all.

NATURAL SAfBLTING POINTS.

Leadville has published a strong pro-

contains facts and figures that concern
Great Falls as a natural smelling point.
The distance of the ore producing regions
from Denver in this document are as

In Fergus county the witness fees at
the two first terms of court amounted to
$4,000. This ought to be warning to

so kindly transferred to us.

The commissioners of Choteau county
at recent meeting directed the county
attorney to enter suit against Cascade
county for the sum, of $50, 600, the amount
due that county from this in accordance
with the bill creating Cascade. This is
altogether needless procedure. Cas-
cade county will meet that obligation in
full and strictly in accordance with law,
and our neighbors will not accomplish
any good results by the course they are
pursuing. They had better preserve
their patience, for we can assure them
they will gain the result sought just as
soon by doing so.
