MONTANA, THE GoLDEN.-Treasure in her
mines of precious metals; wealth in her 4 900, :
coo head of live stock; profits in her fertile
fields, rroducinga larger yield of crops than
any other state or territory; the richest
country per inhabtant on earth: where pros
perity is universal; which has the best paid
labor in the world; a balmy winter climate,
caused by warm winds from the Pacific. The
ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway is
tie only railroad passing through a con-
tinuous agricultural country from st. Paul
