GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.

THE GREAT SHELTER.

All Montana, as we'll as Great Falls, has
reason to rejoice at the satisfactory CON
clusion of the agreement with the Boston
g. Montana company. This agreement
ensures the establishment here of the
greatest industrial works in the United
States and opens new era in the mining
and metallurgical industry of Montana.
The Boston u Montana company finds
here favorable conditions for reducing
and refining the inexhaustible supplies Of
copper ore which it owns in the Mountain
View and other great mines which it has
ACQUIRED in Butte. These conditions are
so favorable that the company will be
able to reduce and refine copper for the
the world on terms which will enable it
to hold its own whatever. disturbance
may arise in the demand for that metal,
which has become so important in the
arts aud IS so closely connected with the
electrical progress.
All the details connected with this
great enterprise have been conducted by
both sides in liberal spirit and with due
regard for common interests. The Bos-
ton g. Montana directors and officers have
acquired an ample site for their great
works with guarantees as regards water
power, transportation and fuel which will
warrant them in undertaking the new en-
terprise with the fullest confidence that
the results will be satisfactory and that
their present large profits will be aug
mented considerably. "
The liberal disposition of the mining
company has been met with correspond
ing enterprise on the part of the Town
site company, the Manitoba railroad, the
Sand Coulee Coal company and all con
cerned. The town itself, the railroad
system, the developed coal mines are all
SO many preparatory steps toward the
great undertaking. These will be sup
plemented by the dam at the Black Eagle
falls, which will elevate Great Falls tt
the highest rank as desirable seat TO
diversified industries. .--
While the Boston s. Montana compan,
will derive great benefits, the gains to tn
town will be incalculable. The resource
o: the city and the surrounding countr
are so extensiv. that this impulse alon
WIS needed to ensure their full develop
ment. The new works will employ thor
sands of people, whose needs will pre-
vide business for many mercantile house
and will ensure home market for tt
produce of the rich valleys and benc
lands around us.
The success of the negotiations whic
are fraught with such benefits are due
Mr.. Paris Gibson, who has thus earne
another claim to the heartfelt gratltud
of the people of Great Falls and the Ell
tire state. He paved the way for tt
new enterprise when he founded Gre
Falls and enlisted Mr.. James j. Hill ar
Colonel g. A. Broadwater in its sdvanc
ment, but in addition to all that, M
Gibson has given special ate
ton to the establishment here
the Boston & Montana slnelt
and refinery. With ceaseless energy al
unconquerable perseverance, Mr.. GIBBS
kept that purpose IN view until his etfol
were crowned with success. All hon
to Mr.. Gibson for such noble, genera
work! May his highest hopes be realiz
in the continued growth of this comb
metropolls of the great northwest.
