tlemen on Montana Ranges.
HELENA. Mont June 27.-Never dur
ing the history Of stock raising in Mon
tana have reports from the spring or
June round-ups been so encouraging as
they are this year The great range
grass crop of 1887, followed by most
favorable winter, has borne abundant
fruit in an unprecedented increase Of
herds and flocks throughout the territory.
The unusual rainfall during the past
month has insured luxuriant growth of
grass, and cs the ranges. thus far, are
not over crowded, good supply of
winter feed may reasonably be ex-
pected. The outlook for stockmen to
recover in great measure their losses
during the memorable winter of 'S0 and
'Sv is extremely fiattering.
In view of these facts it is safe to pre-
dict that the time is near at hand when
Montana cattlemen will be placed in a
position where, if they cannot dictate
their own price for undressed beef, they
can, at least, readily avail themselves of
the most favorable markets. There is
much to encourage stockmen in thisass-
pect of the situation. ~

firecrackers resounded in every direction.
Levi p. Morton was nominated on the
first ballot" rose the cry, and it was
caught up like magic. Flags were thrust
out to hang in listless folds in the humid
air, and band composed of local talent
t raised such a racket that residents in
Rondout, three miles away. across the
Hudson river, heard and knew the cause
thereof.
The Herald reporter was the first to
apprise Mr.. Morton of his nomination.
That gentleman was sitting on the
spacious veranda in the rear of the Hunt
ington mansion, when the reporter
mounted the broad steps leading to the

ARE BETTER TIMES COMING :.

Wall Street Bulls Profess to believe In
Favorable Reaction in the Near Fu-
ture.
New YORK, June ~. The bulls, and
there are still many left, have not lost
courage. They firmly believe the stock
market will be considerably better before
it is very much worse. They have great
faith in European buying power, and
now that Emperor William has an
nounced his policy, they look for rally
which is sure to come. The bear party,
for reasons best known to itself, is still
harping on the old string, and can see
nothing but disaster ahead, although ad-
vices from parts of the country are un-
tloubtedly better than when stocks sold
five points higher.

Want Taking in Again.

The following article taken from the Silver Belt. shows with what tenacity a sucker will hold to its bait when once fairly hooked. The property in question has, ID the opinion of County Recorder Martin, Judge Hackney, editor of the Silver Belt, and NIT. Ashby who search ed for it, no existence ID fact, but the Oak Grove Mining Company gudgeoDs will not down or have ii otherwise that they have not been duped. A few more similar investments, however. will cary conviction 10 their depleted pocket books:
 Chss. T. Martin is iu receipt of let ter from the secretary of the Oak Grove Mining Company, 10 winch confidence is expressed ID the mines of the com pauy; and reflections cast upon the iD- tegrity of R man named Meyer whom the company delegated 10 consideration of 10000 shares of stock, to do sssess- ment work to the amount S6OO and who commissioned a Mir. Ashby to perform the service in hIs stead. The latter gentleman was here and visited the mines in question and, as We believe, truly represented them as showing no indication of mineral. The fear that the mines were jumped by Ashby is dispelled by the fact that no record of relocation hus been filed with the re- cOrder. to render location valid. The prospectus is replete, to use mild term, with glsring inaccuracies which has been noted and commented upon by miners familiar with the property" The placing 1t on the Stonewall lead is the least of them and is as foreign 10 the truth that the Oak Grove mines fare located on the great mineral belt upon winch nearly ali Cf the rich and paying mines of Arizona are located and which mint ral belt extends clear across the Territory" Nor is # true, as stated by the spectus, that the Oak Grove shows & body of ore sixty feet, sversg- ing twenty-five and one-half ounces of silver to the ton out fl :smples taken clear across the lead"

Freight will be sent to and from those points by way of New Orleans, and the rates on all classes of freight will be the same as the rates via Ogden or any other line. As the merchants are fully aware of the fast time and good service render cd via the Sunset Route. no doubt the new line will be taken advantage Of by all shippers"
 How are you handling your freight novS' asked the Hersld's representative.
 "Every thing is in a good condition, and about the last of the delayed freight was delivered at COlton and Los Angeles on the Sd of this month"
 Have you plenty of motive power now?'
 "Well, we are better of now than We have been for some time, but of course we would like to have more engines; however, I'm not in B position to give you any reliable information on that subject"
 This move on the part of the Southern Pacific is calculated to bring them 6 great deal of business.
