The New York Financial News Of the
SOth ult., has an editorial on the chances
now opening in northern Montana for
the young and .enterprising men and wo-
men of the east. The writer is evidently |
we'll advised and is prepared to give
counsel on the subject as an oracle. Nor
will the rising generation Of Young
America failsto improve upon their OPP
portunities. Following is the article:
When we consider that the sources of
our information are pure and disinterest-
ed, or by occular demonstration we meet
with facts that cannot be controverted,
we light hearted!y assume the role OF adj
visers or mentors to the ever increasing
number of persons seeking safe remuner-
ative investment. or others who are am
bilious or energetic enough to wander
further afield with the object in view Of
tapping the boundless possibilities Of the
far west. We are frequently astounded
to see small capitalists who are full of
youth and vigor depositiug their money
in securities such as mortgages and
ground rents that produce only 81 to
per cent interest, and there let their sub
stance contcntedly remain, never accum-
ulating, never possibility or probability
of sudden rise in values that may mean
fortune-never ray Of hope that some
fine morning you may wake up to find
that you have been sleeping on Il gold,
silver, copper or coal mine, that has been
coyly hiding away for centuries-and
suddenly you are crazed to realize that
your youthful dreams of wealth are more
than consummated. These opportunities
only await the more restless, the more de-
termincd fortune seekers. Now, many
persons reading this will facetiously re-
mark: "Oh, yes; its all very well-we
have heard that sage remark before 'Gc
west; the west is quite distance, and
there is quite lot Oft And might from
guidance, point out the direction give {
, location and tell how to get there, ant
+ what are the prospects when arrived a
I the enchanted territories" This we pre-
| faced To DO AZ the onset, and our satisfac
;. tion will be great when we are notified
: that some daring spirit has reaped
j golden harvest and we will not claim ev
a en- percentage on the glowing pile. Aft
