MINING

The mining exchange which Helena
has started ought to be Of some service
to Montana if properly conducted. 1t
starts out with good officers and good res
olutions which we hope it will observe
strictly. Of late years there has been
a reaction in mining shares at exchange.
In San Francisco, the palmy days of the
mining exchange are gone, perhaps for,
ever. No longer can Mackay, Flood or
O'Brien make millions by the up and
downs of the market. In New York the
wild dealing in shares which followed
the Leadville discoveries has long since
subsidized and the BUSINESS transacted is
small. In Denver, st. Louis and Kansas
City most of the business IS done at
their counting houses by brokers or by
private deals.
In Montana the basis for mining ex.
change business is small. The active
stocks of tie Butte mines, such as the
Boston d Montana and Butte L. Boston,
are held in Boston. Dealings in Granite
stock are carried on deeply in St. Louis.
London is the market for Drum Lum-
mon. Many mines, such as the Anaconda
property, are owned by close corporations
whose stock is not on the market. But
as mining increases the number of buy
ers and sellers will multiply. We hope
to see honest, healthy trading in shares
throughout the state - at Great Falls ard
Butte as we'll as at Helena.
The semi-weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1891, 1890-06-11

GREAT FALLS is the third or fourth
city II the state in point of population
and importance, and still it has been en-
tirely ignored by Tom Carter and the two
fraudulent senators. So far as they are
concerned, it would not be known there
is such a place OF the map of Montana.
Lewistown receives the land office be.
cause it is Tom Powers town, and the
next nov will be to establish a land dis
trict with Chinook, where Mr.. Power is
largely interested, as the headquar-
ters. The railroad connecting Canada
with Montana terminates at Great Falls
and in the natural order of things the
customs headquarters for this district
should be here, but no steps to that end
have been taken because one of the fraud
ulent senators owns half of Fort Benton,
the present headquarters of the district.
1t is evident Great Falls stands but little
show of receiving favors from Uncle Sam
while our congressional delegation, legit-
innate and fraudulent, is constituted as at
present. A day of reckoning with these
gentlemen, however, will com sooner or
later.

THE DAM I'M SMEL7ER.

The progress being made on the great
Missouri river dam and at the grounds of
the Boston & Montana smelter, must be
seen to be appreciated. A considerable
section Of the dam is neaIing completion
and the genera! preparations have so far
advanced that the work will so forward
much more rapidly hereafter. The stone
used in its construction is secured in the
bed of the river, which has been laid bare
bya wing dam, and it is easily and cheap
ly quarried. The stone, which is a firm,
beautiful red sandstone. is taken out in
large blocks and by the aid of steam
power and other facilities at hand is
placed IN the wall Of solid masonry at a
minimum of cost. 1t would seem as if
nature had put this material there for the
very purpose to which it now put. The
solidity of the dam and the large of
the undertaking will at once impress the
visitor and he will speedily come to the
conclusion that it will withstand decade
after decade the fiercest flood or gorge of
the Missouri.
Beside this great undertaking, on the
north side of the river. work on the Bos-
ton & Montana smelter is progressing
rapidly. Kirkendall & Son have a force
of men grading down the steep hills and
in a few days will have 200 men engaged
In this work. A portion of the material
and machinery for the smelter has arriv-
ed and a large gang Of men is employed
in unloading it from the cars; others are
engaged in building temporary buildings
for the officers and workmen, and alto
gether it is a busy.scene in that vicinity
As we said, the magnitude of these en-
terprises must be seen to be appreciated,
and if there is still a doubling Thomas in
Great Falls who wonders why "work is
tagging on that dam and smelter,' we
would advise him TO take a half holiday
and go and see for himself what is being
done.
