the country tributary are sufficient,
says the Reporter, to guarantee the
building of a railroad here no one
who has looked into the matter for a
moment doubts, and that our failure
Eup to the present time to secure the
building of road is attributable to
other causes is just as true. How
much longer the miners of this truly
wonderful camp will be compelled
to lie practically idle on account of
the need of railroad facilities it is
hard to say. But one thing is GER
tain-the first road that enters here
will reap a harvest in the way of
business that will surprise the people
of this whole country. With a min
eral belt that extends from the head
of Warm Spring creek four miles
southwest of Castle on past the Cum
berland and the Yellowstone to
Robinson and Blackhawk, and on
still to Four-mle creek and to with
in four miles Of White Sulphur
Springs, distance of fully 20 miles
with mineral locations made nearly
all the way, and many of them that
promise as well as the cumberland
with the same amount of develop
ment, it is hard to predict what the
tonnage will be when the road does
come. And this is not all. On the
north lies Copperopolis which has
rich deposits of copper ore that awai..
only the advent of railroad to this
district when they will be more
thoroughly opened up and worked,
thus adding to the immense tonnage
which railroad will get; and on the
south we have caolfelds of known
value and extent, in fact there is no
doubt but the whole country, begin
ming six or seven miles south of here,
is underlaid with a fine quality of
coal. 1t has been opened up in var
ious places and good, solid veins
have been exposed, proving beyond
a doubt that it is there and in large
quantities. And again, this is fine
stock country; fine herds of horses,
cattle and sheep may be seen graz
ing near Castle, in the Musselshell
and Smith river valleys, and in fact
large part of the mineral belt grass
grows luxuriantly.
Our ore is of low grade lead and
silver, but rich enough to pay large
dividends with other facilities for
handling it than bull teams. The
ore bodies are large and there will
be no trouble in finding plenty of
mines here that can ship from 80 to
100 tons of ore per day. H. c.
Davis an official connected with the
Northern Pacific railroad, told the
writer that the time would come
when Castle would ship 1000 tons
of ore per day, and he had been over
the camp and understands it thor
oughly and did not then know Of the
coal fields south or the copper fields
north. Col. O. p. Chisholm, of
Bozeman, after looking over the
camp, less than a year ago, said that
it was the greatest railroad PROPOSE
ton in the whole country. With all
these facts before us how can anyone
doubt that a road to Castle would

Tin Plate Workers in America.

A letter from Mr.. Thomas Thorn
as, formerly superintendent of the
tin house at the Pontymeister tir
plate works, is published by the In.
dustrial World, of Swansea, Wales
in which he says:
At lrondale, Ohio, to my great
astonishment, | found the tin works
under the management of Mr.. Ban
field, late of Abertillery. They are
working four mills and are now en-
larging to put in two more. The
black plate they are turning out is
of Bessemer steel, and is very
good plate. ! gave it severe test.
In the pulling-room l found an
American machine, which was work
ing to great satisfaction.
| find there are tin mills running
in Demmler, Pittsburg, Cleveland,
St. Louis, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia; there are number being built.
Some of these proposes making the
black plates only and selling them to
those who do the finishing. l have
secured berth in Philadelphia with
N. & G. Taylor & Co., to take charge
of their new wash-house, which is
now being finished, [ must acknowl-
edge it to be as good as | ever saw
and on the newest style.
On Wednesday last | went to Mr.
H. Edwards works, near Morristown,
about Is miles from Philadelphia;
saw Mr.. Lewis, William Brangham,
Clarks and the others. They have
one set to start next Monday, and
others to follow as soon as bricked in.
| am surprised to find so many
Welshmen in this country-some
that ! have not seen for many years.
Judge John l.. Wheeler, on "what
the Tin Industry Means,' says:
"When we speak about tin and
protection our democratic friends
says that we are trying to protect
an industry not yet born. Why, the
tin industry has been born several
times in this country, but because it
did not have a Mckinley act to foster
its life it died. One Of the years in
which it was born was 1872. At
Demmler, Penn, tin mills were built
in that year. But the Englishmen
heard about it and cut down the
price so that American tin mills had
to shut down. Again they were
started, and again the Englishman
with his cheap labor, forced the Am
erican tin mill to quit. But now the
industry has been started again and
t will live just as long as the Nc
<inley law will give it life, and
'orever for that matter, if the Nc
\inley law will only assist it along
Turing the earl y part of its existence.
"And this tin industry means a
great deal to you and to me. 1t
means that millions of tons more
,oal and coke than are now used
will be needed; it means that r.
100000 feet of lumber will be used
annually to pack the tin in; it means
hat $23,OOO,GOO more will be ex-
,ended each year in wages, and it
.lso means that 10000 men will be
at the tin mills, and that
means that 100000 people will be
provided for. SO much for an in
lustry which the democrats say is
lot yet born"

Mayor Pingree for Governor.

Howard M. Holmes, of Detroit, re
ports that Mayor Hazen s. Pingree is a
candidate for the republicannomination
for governor of Michigan. He says:
There are obstacles in the way OF
his nomination, but it is to he hoped
that they are not insurmountable. He
is an available candidate for the repub-
lican party, because of his wealth and
his popularity in Detroit, democratic
city. If elected governor, he would use
his great influence towards the enact
ment of q single tax law. I have nc
doubt that Michigan would be the first
in the Union to make trial of single
tax principles The people are well
educated in those principles, and are
ready for change All we need for
success is a motive power, such as q
friendly governor could give. That
would lead to organization and the con-
centration Of our strength.

La GRIPPE.

The grippe is raging in the west NOT
to such an extent as in the east, but
still the mortality in this section is great
enough in all conscience. The best
medical authorities unite in saying that
the proper treatment for it is stimu-
liant. In Europe they prescribe brandy.
Some physicians here give whisky and
quinine, and some anti-pyrine. Whis-
ky and quinine will result in deafness.
and ultimately in insanity. Anti
pyrine is liable to affect the heart dam
gerously, and should therefore be used
with great caution. The best remedy
for this malady is REID'S GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. It
does not affect the brain injuriously,
nor the heart, but it will assist the
stomach in maintaining its normal
tone, and it will exterminate all mi
crobes. 1t soothes the lungs, and ex-
cites the Kidneys to action. If taken
when the grippe makes its first appear
ance it will absolutely stop it. 1t has
been tried in thousands of cases and
has never failed; Get it of any dealer.

Justice Is the Aim.

A. M. Rich, of Scbago Lake, No,
writes that he is not as enthusiastic for

viz, the abolition of poverty; and he
asks If it could hinder q Barnum from

The Single Tax Looms Up in Rhode
Island.

Under the leadership of State Sena-
tor Lucius F. c. Garvin, the single tax
men of Rhode Island are concentrating
their efforts upon the town of Cumber-
land for thorough single tax cam
paign. 1t is proposed, If possible, to
secure petition of majority of the
voters of Cumberland to the legislature
asking for power to exempt both per-
sonal property and land improvements
in that town from all taxation. AS To-
cal option is customary in Rhode Island,
it is believed that the power will be
granted if majority of the voters in
the town ask for it Senator Garvin Is
positive that if the question should be
submitted. not to the Taxpayers" 60
called, but to the whole electorate, q
majority vote would be cast in Cumber-
land for the single tax. His confidence
is well founded. as the following from
the Providence Sunday Journal of Dec.
| o shows:
The single tax has to all appearances
got complete hold of Cumberland, and
| from Valley Falls to Cumberland Hill
| it is the sole topic of conversation. and
from present appearances the town
would vote affirmatively on the subject
if the legislature will only give them q
| chance.
The Pawtucket Evening Times of De
cember gives expression to the same
local feeling. 1t says:
Petitions are now in circulation from
one end of the town (Cumberland) tc
the other. in which the state Legislature
is requested to permit the town of Cum
berland to sdopt the single tax system
in place of the method of taxation now
in use. These petitions are receiving q
host of signatures, and there Is some
reason to believe that DIR. Darwin and
his friends will succeed in their pur
pose.
This is to procure the majority of thu
signatures of the voters of the town Il
the petition. then to present the case y

ity of the voters are In favor OF tn
