The new proprietors of the Montana
prospectus:
When a new enterprise asks for the pat
ronage of the public, 1t is proper to give a
reason for its existence.
The present proprietors of the Montana
Mining Review believe it cminently fit that
the best mining journal should be pub
lished in the capital city of the best mining
state in Amer lea. It is believed that Mon
tana is in the midst of the largest, the rich
est and the most varied mining region in
the world; that here among the men who
discovered, who developed, and who own
and work the greatest variety Of the mines
of this mountain region; that here where
the best mining talent, the best mining ma
chlnery and the best reduction works are
employed in reducing the greatest variety
of ores; that here in the midst of all these
mining interests. is the proper place for n
tirst-class mining journal.
We also believe that Montana has the
means, the knowledge and the skill to pub
lish such q mining journal, and make it a
vastly useful as we'll as profitable institu-
ton.
We believe that the mining industry
which has filled these mountain regions
with the most enterprising population of
the world is the foundation of all our in
dustrios, and that whatever promotes our
mining interests, aids all the industries and
occupations of the country. Stop mining
and these mountain states will emiqrate.
The merchants are here. the mechanics are
here, tho ranchmen are here, the banks are
here, the real estate men are here, the cat
tie, sheep and horses are here because our
pioneer miners showed the world these
mountains are veined with gold and silver
and these valleys are underlaid with vast
coal beds.
Every miner has learned something in his
experience. which would be useful to every
other miner; the important discoveries
made by the mining world of the last two
Thousand years are on record, many prin-
ciples developed by the sciences of mineral
ogy, geology, physic, chemistry and mo-
chanics are absolutely indispensable to suc-
cessful mining. Here is the place to COL
lect these facts and principles from all
mining countries, from the mining records
OF past ages and from all scientific sources
and publish them for the benefit of our
mining population. Let the best of these
facts and principles go out to our people
every week in authentic form.
For these and other reasons we have de-
termined to publish the Montana Mining
and We ask cur public spirited fellow clti-
zens of this state and country to help us
make it a frst-class mining journal.
Every business in Montana WAS made by
end is dependent Upon the prosperity Of
our mines. A good mining journal can do
more than any other means TO bring capital
n open up our 10000 recorded prospects
make mines of them. Mining is the
greatest interest in Montana, and we should
have a good journal to represent it.
We ~antagonlze no enterprise, but will aid
all.
