DEVELOP YOUR PROSPECTS.

There are hundreds, possibly a
thousand, persons in Montana, who
have no permanent abiding place nor
enough Of clothing to protect them
from the blasts of winter. yet each
and every one of them have from
five to twenty-five prospects that
they have owned from one to fifteen
years. Many of these prospects con-
tain good ore, but the limited amount
of development on them precludes
the possibility of any mining in
vestor taking hold of them. Occa-
sionally man will come along who
thinks he sees in one of these pros
poets enough to base the belief that
he can develop it into mine, and
decides to make the attempt. He
finds the owner and asks the price.
One hundred thousand dollars, says
he. The capitalist goes away dis
gusted, and the owner, who cannot
show ten dollars worth of ore or
who has not spent ten dollars in de-
velopment work, sits down and waits
for sucker. Of course he does not
find a man green enough to pay an
unreasonable sum for a mere pros
pect and as soon as the snow covers
the ground he begins to "represent." !"
BY continuing the shaft or tunnel?
Very rarely. He picks around for
an hour or two trying to find place
where the lead crops out where the
ground is softer. He continues this
for three or four days and declares
he has represented as the law directs.
He continues this from year to year
and then complains that no buyer is
found. He will continue this course
until he fills a pauper's grave. The
time and labor thus expended is
worse than thrown away, for he
knows no more about his mine at the
end of the year than at the be-
ginning. Had he expended even
a few days time each year in syste-
matte development he would have
dug ont the few pounds or ore in
sight or demonstrated the fact that
he had mine-hence something to
sell. Those who have mining To-
cations should be compelled to work
them, get patent, or give them UP
to those who would make an effort al
development. There would be
millions of dollars of money spen
in purchasing mines every year i
the holders of prospects would SHOW
up what they have or be more liberia
towards the would-be purchaser

MEN AND MONEY.

Montana wants men and money.
Why? says the stranger. Your
bank vaults are full of money and
your streets arc alive with idle men.
What chance is there for other men
None whatever. Our citizens who
own the millions in our banks are
working as many mines as they can
manage. Our sheep men have focks
in all parts of the state, whose wool
and mutton keep their bank accounts
plethoric and our herdsmen have a
million cattle on thousand hills and
after the sales of the autumn are en-
joying the pleasures of home and a
plethoric bank balance; and the
horsemen of the state are enjoying
the satisfaction Of knowing that our
climate, elevation, soil and grasses
make more lung power, better bone
and stronger muscle than any locality
on the continent.
But the great body of our citizens
are miners-rather cross between a
miner and a prospector. Each of
them has from one to twenty min
ing claims to represent or re-record
under new name each year,
hoping to sell to some one who
wants to work a mine, or to find a
partner who will furnish the money
to develop some of his mining claims
to such showing as will enable
them to sell or to work them with
profit. We have thousands of pros
pectors and retired prospectors, who
own or have recorded in their names
10000 discoveries in our mountains,
many of which will no doubt, be
equal to or will surpass the Granite
Mountain, the Drum Lummon and
the Alice.
Here then is such an opening as
the world has never before presented
to men of energy with money
enough to develop a mine and make
a bonanza of it, and at the same time
make fortune for his labor and en-
terprise.
We say, then, to the men of the
country who have muscle and brains
and money, come and occupy the
places our mines open to you.
But don't come tere thinking
there are thousands of men here
with a plethoric bank account and
promising mines waiting for some
young man fresh from college or
mining school to tell him what his
prospects will yield and how much
it will cost him to work them, and
what his profits will be; and that he
is ready to pay fabulous salary to
such a man to give him such infor-
nation. Yet there is demand for
good young men with scientific
skill.
But we want men from the school
whose hands have been hardened on
the farm and in the workshop, who
can work as we'll as think, who have
brains as we'll as muscle and money.
To all such, whether the number be
one or thousand, we have plenty of
openings, which promise abundant
hard work of mind and hand and al
most certain success.

A new Alliance movement is ma
terializlng, which if consummated,
will be the most gigantic trust ever
formed. Frank McGrath, president
of the farmers alliance, says that leg
islation is too slow and that men OF
his age will never see the achievement
of their plans in that direction. The
idea is to send only enough produce
to market to supply the urgent de-
mand and thus keep prices up all the
time. Mr.. McGrath says: 1.-THE
new scheme is modelled in detail
after the whisky trust. Of course
you will say that our principles Will
not admit of it, but we have decided
that we must fight the devil with
fire: that is we must fight trusts
and combinations with trusts and

THE axiom that a "a Kansas man

shock within the last week or two.
A few days since Judge Miller, of
the Kansas City, Kansas, judicial
district resigned, and now we have
the resignation of Mr.. SchlYer who
throws away $4,000 year and a rail-

all is that Schlyer is a democrat. An

An Estimate OF Lincoln.

The recently published life Of Rich

Abraham Lincoln. and is worth quoting
here. During the war. it will be re-

;. district attorney, TO which Mr.. Lin
coin had appointed him. This Office
required him to make occasional trips
- Washington. and after one Of these
visits he said March 9th, 1869 in a
letter to Charles Francis Adams, then
minister to London:
As to the politics Of Washington the
most striking thing is the absence Of
personal loyalty TO the president. 1t
d1cs not exist. lie has no admirers,
no enthusiastic supporters. none to bet
~ his head. If republican conven-
ton were TO he held tomorrow he
would not get the vote Of state. lie
does not act or talk or feel like the
ruler Of a great empire in a great crisis.
This is felt BY all, and has got down
through all the layers Of society. 1t
has a disastrous effect on all depart
mcnts and classes Of officials, as we'll as
On the public. lie seems to me to be
fonder OF details than Of principles, Of
tlthlng the mint. anise, and cummin OF
patronage and personal questions than
u the welghter matters Of empire. lie
likes rather 10 talk and tell stories with
all sorts Of persons who come to him
Tor all sorts Of purposes than to give
his mind TO the noble and manly du-
ties of his great post. 1t is not diff
cult to detect that this is the feeling Of
his cabinet lie has a kind of shrewd-
ness and common sense, mother wit,
and slip-shod, low-leveled honesty that
made him a good western jury lawyer
but he is an unutterable calamity to MS
where he is" BY May, 1864, Dana's
opinion Of Lincoln had not materially
changed. Il cannot" he writes, "de-
scribe the president; it IS impossible.
lie was sobered in his talk, told no ex-
treme stories, SAID some good things
and some helplessly natural and naive
things. You can't help feeling an in
tercst in him, sympathy and a kind
Of pity; feeling, too. that he has some
qualities Of great value, yet fearing that
his weak points may wreck him, or
wreck something Ills life seems a
series Of wise, sound conclusions, slowly
reached, oddly worked out, on great
questions, with constant failures in adj
mlnstration of details and dealings
