THE MINERS GREAT GROWTH.

1t is pleasing to see the interest man.
ifested by the merchants and the people
Of Butte generally in the efforts of The
MINER to give them the best paper in
the Northwest. Especially is this inter
est manifested in the e~ight-page Sunday
edition of THE MINER, where the leading
houses find it profitable to take whole
and half pages for the announcement of
their bargains to the public. They know
that this journal reaches ali classes of
readers and into nearly all the houses
Of Butte, thus making it a valuable me-
dunn for informing the consumers of the
best places in the city for purchasing
goods.
The holidays are near at hand and the
people are anxious to know where to go
to find the best goods and the greatest
bargains. ALI such are advised to con
suit the columns Of The MINER. The
live, energetic and reliable business
houses all advertise in this journal.
For whatever you want, consult the col
umns of THE MINER, and be guided by
the excellent advice contained in the
announcements Of the staid business
firms Of Butte.
As showing the reciprocity Of interest
manifested between the readers, the ad-
vertisers and the publishers, it is worth
mentioning that the circulation of The
MINER has very greatly increased of late.
OF course this is to the advantage of the
public as well as Of the advertisers.
In the job department the orders are
pouring in at a rate that would be over
whelming in any but a concern equip
ped to meet this great demand on its
resources. The work turned out here is
of the most superior character, there
no Office in the great Northwest
with facilities for excelling it. The
large force and the job presses are kept
busy day and'night.
The Annual or MINER HOLIDAY EDI-
TIoN will soon make its appearance. 1t
will be, considerably, the finest Of these
editions vet issued from this office, and
that is saying a cool deal, as those who
have seel the previous ones know. In
addition to being fully and handsomely
illustrated, it will be embellished with
original and quaint designs of that
master job printer Of the Northwest,
Mr.. W. c. Oakley, evidence of whose
taste, skill, and ai~.pttanteism will be
found on every page. The annual will
carefully edited, with a compendium
Of the years business OF Montana, and
it will also be handsomely printed, 80
that it will be an ornament for the
lrawing room, as well as a necessity for
The counting house.
/
In all these matters The MINER ia
keeping abreast of public sentiment and
Meeting more than half way all the
needs of this section of the Northwest
N its particular line of business.
