THE DEMOCRATIC CONvEN.
TlON.

The row over the location of the
National Democratic Convention is
a good thing for the Republican
party. Missouri is Democratic
State with $4,000 majority. The
Convention at St. Louis can not
help that State much, while the
fact that it did not go to Chicago
will keep Illinois solid in the Re-
publican ranks. The Pacific Coast
built grea. hopes on getting it, and
there is a pail of gloom hanging
over all the Democrats West of the
Rockies. Much bad blood and Bit
ter feeling has been engendered,
and it bodies no good for the De-
mocracy this Fall.

BUREaU Of IMMIGRATION.
The Virginia Report remarks:

The Virginia Report remarks:
The State Bureau has been active.
" engaged in the advancement o.
the interests for which il was Great.
ell. and IL using every means to
secure such information and data
for investors and home-seeiers as
can be uiilizrd. Its lafeSt wor!. is
tue printing and circulation OF q
large number OF copies OF the Act
creating the buciu, accompanied
with statistical blasks, to be filed i'm
by the recipients, which are sent TO
the Assessors OF tie several counties
and other prominent parties, and
which will enable the bureau to
place before inqIireIs the resources
OF all sections OF the State. 1t has
also issued a large number oil circu-
lar letters 10 competent persons
throughout the State asking for
such general infoI nation in rela-
ton to tine Agricultural and stock
interests as may be obtainable. The
members OF the bureau seem to be
alive 10 the duties that pertain 10
their positions, and good results
will no doubt result from their
labors.
If the people throughout Nevada
give to these officials that encour-
ayement they are entitled to in
their laudable efforts to induce i'm
migration we may expect in the
near future to see such an invasion
of desirable immigrants as will as
tonish old-timers, and q boom in
real estate that will vie with that
which sprung into existence in the
last few years in California. Let
every one propel the ball with
vigorous push and help advertise
the illimitable and varied resources
of the Silver State, and our popu-
lation will rapidly increase, our
fertile valleys will yield the rich
treasures which only require tie
labors of the agriculturalist to CLEAN
from them, and our importance and
rights as factor in national affairs
will not be questioned. We have
all the endowments Of nature that
are requisite to the building up of a
grand, populous and wealthy COM
and all it requires at
,ur hands is unison OF purpose and
interchangeable energy and labor en-
ployed in the right direction.

In ahe Lad Of All Last Hear-AM OWep"d
Of siO,OOO, 900 Estimated
fer 1>>s.

Cleveland, Ohio, special: Mr.. j. W.
Bailey, vice-president OF the Nevada
Creek Placer Mining company, OF Mon
tana, is a guest at one OF our hotels.
"How have the Montana mines been
paying during the past Year," was
asked of him by Leader reporter.
"Mining properties OF any merit did
splendidly all over the West in 1887.
The output of mineral in Montana in
1887 was S25,OOO,OOO, and exceeded
that OF any other territory"
"Of what metal did the output con-
sist ?"
";old, silver, copper and lead"
"Do YOU think that the yield will be
as large in 1SSS?"
"Yes. Bankers, who are presumed
to have a better idea about the out
put than any other class OF men, estl-
mate that the yield in Montana TINS
year will reach S4O,OOO,O 900.
"Are the copper mines doing we'll!
..Splendidly. The recent large adj
vance in the price of copper has been
great thing for the owners OF copper
mines i'm Montana. When copper was
ruling mt 1O(o iO'5 cents, the mines III
the far West were at great disad
vantage on account OF freights, but tht
present price pays them handsomely.
"Where are the largest copper mine'
i'm Montana" o.,
ain the vicinity of Butte City. Th'
large smelling works at Anaconda turI
out one hundred tons OF copper daily.
"Do YOU think that the output o
the precious metals will continue tt
increase i'm the western country, o.
more particularly in Montana
II do not think that the mines hav'
reached their maximum, nor VIII the!
for many years to come. My lmpres
sion is, from what I know and hav
seen of Montana, that the country !
full of mineral, and rich discOverie
will be made for fifty years TO come.
"What are some OF your best mine
in Montana"
.sThe Granite Mountain, Drum l.un
mon, Blue Bird, Jay Gould, the Len
ington, Anaconda, etc. There ar
many others which | cannot call Z
mind ut present. The Granite Moul
tain is an exceptionally fine propert!
and is paying S2OO.WO month reg
larly in the way of dividends"
Are there many good placer mine
in Montana"
"Ies, II great many"
"Has there been much gold take
from placer mines in Montana
"Yes, millions upon millions. Ov'
twenty millions were taken from La,
Chance gulch, near Helena, and $,
OOO, 900 from Alder gulch near Vi
ginia City. California has been el
gagged extensively in placer mining f'
over thirty-iive years. while in Mo-
: tana it is in its infancy. There "a
= thousands of acres of rich plac
grounds there to be worked"
