In making the cross-cut everything was
put on the ore dump, there being no
waste. This immense body of ore, Mr..
Barker says, will u fully $40 in silver
and gold and in his opinion it is the
greatest mining proposition in the state
or in any state. The vein has now been
followed over 900 feet and at no place

The recent cross-cut is the first one

THE BUTTE & BOSTON.
President Crosby ot That Company Talks

President Crosby ot That Company Talks
With a Reporter of the Tribune.
Two well known Boston gentlemen ar
rived in the city Thursday. They were
Messrs. II. ID. Hyde and l.. M. Crosby,
and were accompanied by Mrs. Crosby and
Miss Haydn. The first mentioned gentle
man is a prominent a~ttorneyand the latter
the president of the Butte g. Boston
company.
Mr.. Crosby is a pleasant gentleman,
who looks at the world from a pair of
bright blue eyes. His hair is somewhat
whitened, as are also his closely trimmed
and rather English mutton chops. He
chatted quite genially with a TRIBUNE
representative on various interesting
matters.
"My trip he said, lis more for the
sake of pleasure than of business. 1
wanted to see this country. | also de-
sired to examine Great Falls and to see
our proposed site and then 60 on to
Butte. l am very much pleased with
the country for / had no idea there was
such a large amount of range lands. II

passed through on the Northern Pacific

experience gained from them.
The site is an excellent one. 1t seems
as il nature had intended it expressly
so near by. / think, though, that it is
too late to begin building this year. ]
believe you asked how our mines il
Butte were doing. They are doing
nicely and are now almost as big pro
ducers as the Boston and Montana
though not nearly SO old.
'What opinion have l formed of Grea
Falls!' At this point Mr.. Crosb.
paused thoughtfully for a moment ant
then resumed: Mature has done grea
things for you. Your site is itself a nat
ural one and l think that beyond
doubt this, if nothing else, will make
large city here. Everything seems t
point to this one direction. Yes, indeed
nature has used you most generously.
The party expect to start this morning
at 6:30 for the Great falls, viewing a
they go the Giant spring and the Rain
bow falls. Returning they will take tn
west bound train for Helena and afte
staying there a day will go to Butt
where Mr.. Crosby will remain a week O
so.

Power From Great Falls.

In an interview with IA Butte Miner
representative Mr.. Henry Willard, the
noted president Of the Northern Pacific
railway, said:
II believe that in a few years, by
means of electricity, you can get the
power of water here from as great a dis
lance az Great Falls, and sufficient pow
er, too, for any purpose for which you
may need it. Mr.. Edison has progressed
wonderfully with his experiments in that
direction aud will make them a success.
There is no telling the uses for which
that wonderful power a and will be
supplied. | have in Germany witnessed
the experiment of conducting electricity,
more than 100 miles from a waterfall and
with only the loss of 30 per ccnt OF the
power"

The St. Louis Globe Democrat do
clares authoritatively that Mr.. Blaine is
a good staunch enemy of free coinage,
and it further adds: mo matter what
the men who draw up republican plat
form say, the leaders and masses of the
party are unaltsrably opposed to the
free coinage OF silver. Outside Of the
silver producing states, three out Of
every four members Of the party are
hostile to any legislation granting fur
Their favors to the white metal" This is
an undeniable truth and the Globe
Democrat is only a little candid
than other republican newspapers in
giving the sentiment of the party such
unequivocal utterance.

Of his youth, which he tells Achilles. In

is the %portico, or loggia (%aithousa), which
runs along the front of the house. Here.
perhaps, are men seated playing at
draughts, or they may be practicinp at
spear throwing in the courtyard. In the
~portico. too, beds are laid for unexpected
guests in the warm summer nights.
Entering the hall, we cross a broad
be beRgars or not very sure of our reception,
we sit dow there humbly. The hall is
wide and lofty-ioofed, but dusky with the
smoke from tho fire in the center. The
walls, in a wealthy house, are decorated
with thin plates Of shining bronze. inlaid
arranged probably as trophies, hang around
the walls, swords, daggers, axes and spears,
with point and edge of steel, or more COM
monty of bronze. The hall ia full of small
tables, at which men SIT eating and drink
ing.
The host and hostess have their place of
honor far up the hall, near the table on
which stands the great mixing bowl, for
they put water to their wine, and only
drunkards took it meat" The prince sees
us, HInes down from his seat, and bids us
welcome. It we have come from afar and
are dnsty with travel, the maidens lead us
to q chambor where the polished baths are,
and battle us with warm water. Then we
return to the hall and sit at meat and drink

divine minstrel takes his Tyre from its pin
and chants some tale of the loves of gods,
or the wars of men; some legend of Troy

Gold. The last cup of the fenst is poured

THE BURLINGTON COMING

i, The announcement in a special dis
patch to THE INDEPENDENT from Chi
cage that the Burlington line Is to
good news indeed. 1t has been known
for the past year that it was only a
question of a short time when this great
corporation would reach out for Mon
lana trade and work would have been
commenced several months ago had not
the financial disturbances abroad more
Or less affected all railway properties in
the United States. The clearing of the
financial skies now makes it possible to
carry to contamination many projected
enterprises, and another year promises
to see the greatest activity in railroad
construction that Montana has known
since the completion Of the Northern
Pacific line. There are great times
ahead for Montana, and Helena, as the
natural point toward which all railroads
gravitate, we firmly believe ia about to
see the greatest prosperity and activity
in her history. Unlike many other
western cities we have no period of col
lapse from inflated booms to recover
from, no lost ground to regain, and con-
s%equently our onward movement will be
unchecked. The Burlington is to be the
pioneer in the new era of railroad build
ing to this region. Its competitors for
the trade of the northwest will be forced
to follow it, and two and perhaps three
more lines will reach US within the next
three years. AS we look back through
the period Of depression which the en-
tire country has undergone in the past
year we have abundant reason to be
proud of the stability and courage with
which Helena has met the situation,
and the man who does not now see
something of the greatness the future
has in store for us must be blind in
deed. Prosperity, such as few have
dreamed of, awaits us. Let us turn to
advantage all the resources that kind
fortune has placed at our command.

GENERAL WILLIAM WELLS, OF Yer
mont, who is said to be the man Presi-
dent Harrison has selected for secretary
OF war to succeed Mr.. Proctor, was a
gallant union soldier and is undoub tedly
a man of high character. The only OBJ
lection to be urged to his appointment,
go far as we yet know, is that he is a
man unknown to public life and does not
enjoy a national reputation. These
may not be serious objections, but they
should have some weight. The old
fashioned idea of q cabinet was the best
one. The president should draw about
him the strongest men in the entire
country, men in whom the people have
confidence and upon whose advice the
president could lean, in the assurance
that they possess intimate knowledge of
the peoples needs. The cabinet is no
place for obscurities, no matter how
worthy Or reputable they may be in the
little circles from which they are drawn.
There is plenty Of good material in tho
republican party and Mr.. Harrison
would be more popular to-day had he
gathered more of it about him. In this
respect he might have profited by the
example of Hayes, who saved his ad-
ministration from utter contempt by
inviting men like Evarts, Sherman,
Schurz and Devens to become his adj
visers in the government.
