TRIBUNE ANNUAL.
GENERAL OUTLINE OF A NOTE
WORTHY PUBLICATION.
Timely Information on Mines, Ranches
and City Real Estate---Strong
Letters From Prominent
People.

The TRIBUNE ANNUAL gives an intelli.
gent and candid review of the advantages
and resources of Great Falls and its tribu-
tary territory.
The industrial prominence of Great
Falls is seen IN glance at its
pages. On the title page is a view of
the great Boston & Montana smelter--
now in course of construction, which
will hardly be second to the great Ana
conda works, supporting, as it does, a
city of 5000 souls. Next are illustrations
of the mammoth works of the Montana
Smelling company, which has present
capacity of 500 tons of ore daily. 1t is the
intention of the company to largely in
crease the present output of bullion and
in comparatively short time these works
will employ 1000 men. Two "cuts" of the
Sand Coulee coal mines give some idea
of the work going on at that place. The
present output is 1900 tons daily and 400
men are employed. This is to be largely
increased in 1890 and within 10 months
the pay roll will contain 1000 names.
