ON TO CASTLE.

There is every indication that the Cas-
tie district is one of the greatest mining
regions in the world. That is the opin-
ion of every mining man who has visited
it. Millions of treasure are already in
sight. Millions more are surely beneath
the surface awaiting development. All
that is needed to bring capital and labor
to this region and to make it within
three years the greatest ore producing
camp in the country is railroad by
means of which supplies can be carried
in and ores brought out to the smelters.
Helena is the natural supply point for
this district and should command its
business, which is destined very soon to
be Of great magnitude and Importance.
This only can be done by means of a
railroad between the two points. There
should be no question as to whether we
should have it. Our business men can
afford to take no chances. They should
not depend upon the frown or favor Of
any big corporation in this matter. "The
gods help those who help themselves"
Let the road from Helena to Castle be
built by Montana men and money.
Liberal subscriptions are offered all
along the line. Enough capital can be
raised to begin the work Immediately.
Our people should realize the vital i'm
portance of moving before it is too late.
Let other enterprising towns build lines
to Castle if they will. Let ono or the
other of the great corporations plan to
construct road by another route-that
should not deter the citizens of Helena
for moment, but rather should stimu-
late them to be the first to reach this
virgin field. Riches and growth await
the city that has the foresight to make
the first move toward making this new
mining territory its trade tributary.
