THE MINERS RAILROAD,

Regarding the Montana Central, from
a mining point Of view, the Montana
Mining Review refers to it in these ap-
preciative words: "Thursday, July 10,
1888, witnessed the practical completion
of the Montana Central railway between
this city and Butte, thus uniting the min
eral center of the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains with the most promi-
nent mining camp on the western side.
The line from Helena to Butte is the
third branch line Of the Montana Central
railway to be completed, the first or main
line, from Helena to Great Falls, 100
miles in length, having been completed
last fall: the second branch, from Helena
to Marysville, twenty miles in length,
completed about the first Of July Of this
year; and now the Butte branch, one
hundred miles in length, via Jefferson,
Wickes, Boulder and through the prolific
mining fields Of Jefferson county to the
great copper and silver camp at Butte.

of invited guests, made trip over the

"Traversing, as it does one of the rich
est mineral regions of Montana, this
branch Of the Montana Central should
prove of incalculable benefit not only to
mine owners Of that section, but to the
territory at large as well. 1t will be the
means of enabling many owners of pros

Falls papers that work has been renewed
on the Sand Coulee coal mines under the
management of 3. Anderson.
ut was the privilege of the writer not
long since to visit these mines and pre-.
vious views as to the quantity of the coal
obtainable were entirely eradicated. The
mines are situated about twelve miles
from Great Falls by wagon road or six
teen miles by rail. The first mine visited
was that of Paris Gibson and Robert
Vaughn. The vein at this mine is opened
by tunnel 300 feet in length, from which
four side entries have been made. There
is thickness Of twelve feet Of solid coal
i'll Of which is not mined, the lower part
of the vein, or about eighteen inches of it,
Icing considerably impregnated with
sulphur.
"rhe Montana Central Coal company
has a tunnel in some 500 feet with four
teen rooms. The vein in this mine is
from ten to fourteen feet in thickness and
from prospecting done with boring ma
chine there is abundant proof that it ex :
tends over thousands of acres in the vicin-
ity at varying depth from the surface Of
fifty to three hundred feet.
"The coal Of Sand Coulee lays as it was
originally deposited ages ago. 1t has a
gentle dip toward the Missouri other
wise it may be said to be on level The
lay Of the coal could not be better for
mining purposes, natural drainage and ep-
portunity to work unlimited number of
hands being offered from the start The
mines are to be worked with improved
machinery, and no one need tear the sup

The Spring Valley, ILL.,, coal mines are
case in point. It was not until 1884 that
capitalists were induced to undertake the
development of the immense coal depos-
its at that place. Now the mines give
employment to $500 men and produce
several thousand tons Of coal daily. In a
few years the mines are expected to en-
ploy 1000 men. We do not advocate de-
lay, but we make due allowance for need

A GRAND DISPLAY.

Great Falls is to be represented at the
Minneapolis exhibition this year by a
large and varied display, which will in
clude the mineral and agricultural pro-
ducts Of the surrounding country, This
exhibit will be leading feature Of the
exposition, which is all the time in search
of~novelties and aims to make each sue
cessive display grander than the preced-
ing one.
No better place could be selected than
the Minneapolis exhibition to make
known the varied resources of northern
Montana. Since it was founded in 1885
the exhibition has increased in popular
ity and is now firmly established in pub
lie favor. The exhibition began in great
building with lofty tower which over
looks the city of Minneapolis Each
floor was filled with industrial products,
collected from all parts of the union.
Machinery from New England and the
middle west; fruits and preserves from
Ohio; furniture from Michigan and iron
ores from the Lake Superior region
formed part Of the instructive and varied
display which was sent to this industrial
palace in response to the invitation of
the managers All this was supplement-
ed by the art gallery, which included
SOME of the finest products Of American
and foreign skill. The Mexican band
impaired an additional charm to the great
fair by its glorious music, while the
plash Of the great fountain cooled the air
and Client enchantment to the view"
Under the able management of Mr..
Palmer the exhibition scored still more
success last year. The renowned COL
William B. King took an active interest
in its success, and, being appointed auto
GRAFT for one day, he abolished the free |
list and aroused so much enthusiasm that
the building was crowded from floor to
roof.
This year the attendance will probably
be much larger and the display more
varied. Nothing succeeds like success in
exhibitions. Some manufacturers wait
for the second Or third year before they
make exhibits. Others have more orders
than they can fill and are apathetic. But
this is year Of exceptional interest. The
country has called on the manufacturers
for an accounting and they will resnond
readily. They will show by actual ex-
hibits that this country which leads the {
world in useful inventions produces as ,
good wares and fabrics as any other,

a RESTLESS SPIRIT.

The River Press still allows itself to be
worried about the Sand Coulee coal and
is not at all satisfied because some mem
bers Of the Press association, who went
in person to examine the mines, have
made enthusiastic reports regarding
them. The River Press has wholly over
looked the fact that a large force of ex-
perienced miners are now at work at the
mines preparing to take out coal on a
large scale; that machinery of the latest
and most approved pattern for working
such mines is now on the ground, and
that within few weeks at most the Mon
tana Central Railroad company will be
ready to supply the territory with the
best coal within her borders. OF course,
the River Press could have taken this
great enterprise in hand and in week
would have had title to the lands, the
mines opened, houses built and all other
preliminaries arranged, but such feats are
only accomplished in newspaper offices.
The Montana Central will accomplish all
of these results in due time, and, thanks
to the enterprise of this company, there
will never again be a time in Fort Ben
toms history when the price of coal will
range from $12 to $50 ton. If there is
any little community in Montana that
should be thankful that capital has be-
come interested in the Sand Coulee mines
and that cheap coal will soon be abund-
antly supplied from that quarter, 1t is
Fort Benton, and this grateful feeling
would probably be more generally felt If
the mines were not located quite SO near
to Great Falls.

SAND COULEE COAL,

Our Benton contemporary. who is 50
troubled about Sand Coulee coal, should
come here and see for himself Let him
leave the devil in charge for day or two
while lie explores the recesses of the
mines, as did his brother journal
lists during the press associa-
ton meeting. He will find
at Sand Coulee experienced miners who
will be glad to answer every inquiry that
he submits. After such investigation he
can write more intelligently than at pres
ent when he INDUCES liz vague surmises
such as were common when Pennsyl-
yanla coal was first ,atrpduced.
We commend to the attention Of our
contemporary the opinions of impartial.
competent journalists, such as JUDGE
Hedges and Addison Smith, who have
examined the mines for themselves and
who have testified to the immense work
done for their development, including tho
construction Of railroad from here
to the mines. Such work was essential
to the development of the mines IN a
business-like manner. Unlike thosa
spectators or inexperienced persons who
erect mill first and then look for tba
ore and agitate for a railroad
the Sand Coulee Coal COMPANY fret
determined the existence of good Goa,
in large quantities; then built railroad
to it, and finally ordered expensive ma
chinery, for which skilled miners ara
