PROSPEROUS.

The towns and cities of the state
but reflect the prosperous condition
of the farms and ranges. The Rocky
Mountain Husbandman says of the
rural industries:
The year 1891 has done wonders
towards refilling Montana's empty
treasutries and the: CLOSE of the year
finds her people on good financial
footing and the signs of the times
point to a year of brisk investment
and trade in 1892. It is a marvel
that so much should have been ac-
complished in one year, that such a
feeling of security and rest should
evolve out of a year of such a stormy
beginning, with such few casual
ties of a serious nature in a great
state like Montana and it certainly
speaks volumes for the resources OF
the state. Every branch of rural
pursuits has been a source of pros
perity to those who follow them, at
least such has been the result OF
transactions of the closing year and
we certainly think Montanians have
great cause to feel proud. Beef
growing, wool and mutton growing,
horse growing, farming, dairying,
fruit growing and gardening have
alike received their reward and the
promise is especially good for the
year to come and should as much
unforeseen good in proportion come
out of the new year the advance.
ment would be SO stupenduous that
we dare not relate it and if only the
promises in store are fulfilled by
1892 its close will be upon land Of

mansions to miners cabin and from

ORE CONCENTRATORs.

Ore concentration is being sue.
ceessfully performed in many parts
of the country by various devices,
and great deal of ore is thus made
available for hipment that would
otherwise be worthless product.
But there is still grand unsolved
problem in concentration upon hum
dreds of thousands of tons of ore
that ought to be more persistently
and thoroughly studied. In old dis
tricts there are numerous large
dumps of material suitable for con-
centration, and in newer districts
there are bulky masses of low grade
ores that can. only be made market
able by concentration, and this field
is SO extensive that it ought to be
invaded. Machines that do good
work on one kind of ore are not sue
cessful on other kinds of ores, but
progress is being made, though
slowly.
We are glad to hear that the
Schuler & Stockder concentrator
makes complete success in treatine
the low grade ores of the Little
Annie mine. Twelve ounce ore
makes a 6O-ounce concentrate run
ming six tons into one and leaving
only two ounces in the 'tailings
Twenty-seven ounce ore makes two
ounce tailings and $50 ounce con-
centrates. The Annie has unlimited
quantities of ore that runs from ten
to twenty-five ounces of silver and
from one and a half to four per cent
lead. The vein is known to be $50
feet wide of such ore. The high
grade streaks are from three to thirty
feet thick. If a cheaper price for
transportation from the mine to the
mill could be had, $500 day could
be made on the twelve-ounce ore
and twice that on the twenty-ounce
stuff that is left in the mine and
thrown over the dump.--lndustry.

TRADE AND MONEY.

Financial prophets predict con-
siderable rise in stocks early in the
New Year, and full realization of
the dream which most Americans
have had concerning general financial
and business prosperity throughout
the country.
In all sections the feeling is
buoyant and hopeful. Universal
confidence seems to have been re-
stored, the volume of business is i'm
mense, and collections everywhere
are decidedly easier.
Dun's trade report says: "The
great industries close the year with
more than usual activity, even the
woolen mills having orders enough
to keep them fairly employed, and a
number have recently started, but
none shut down. Cotton manufac-
turers find good demand, and nu-
merous enlargements of plants are
reported. Shoe factories complain
that usual orders are lacking, and
yet they are fairly active. Paper
mills are busy and making many ad-
ditions of machinery and buildings.
The iron manufacture has been turn
ing out more pig than ever before,
though some works stop for the holi-
days, and the tone of the market is
stronger, with rather more demand
for finished products.
Henry Clews says that the in
crease in the net earnings of the rail-
roads are inproportionately larger
than that of the gross earnings, and
he is sanguine that period of un-
usual prosperity and business activity
is near at hand. OF course there is
no politics in the bounteous gifts oi
Providence, but it is perfectly safe
to say, end the statement is incon.
trovertable, that the passage of tn.
Mckinley bill and the defeat of thu
democratic free trade heresies, are te
be credited with the vast improve

APPRECIATED BY NEIGHBORS.

The Salt Lake Tribune New Years
edition has a most comprehensive
review of the mining interests of
the west, and referring to Montana
truthfully says:
Montana is the foremost mining
state in the republic. Except for
the long shutdown on the Anaconda
no other state could have compared
with her in the output of minerals
this year. Then enough have been
explored TO show that in the next
four or five years her aggregate of
gold and silver, copper and other
minerals will lead all others in the
Union. Within the year district
covered with precious stones has been
discovered, how extensive as yet no
one can tell, but enough at least has
been revealed to induce heavy sym
dicate of English capitalists to invest
large sums for purchasing and de-
vlopment.
It is advancing with giant strides;
the money being taken from the
mines is being ivested on the sur
face, and the result is that the cities
and towns are thriving, and that the
desert is being in every direction
transformed into fruitful fields. A
strong and brave people are they up
there; thefuture of Montana is just as
certain to be great and splendid as
that effect follows cause. The Tri-
bune sends welcome and all hail to
Montana on one more New Years
morning.

PLATINUM.

The price of that valuable and
scarce metal platinum, has been on
the decline for the past year, and is
now about one-half what it was one
year ago, The crude product has,
however, recently commenced to ad'
vance in value, and some anxiety is

felt by consumers, who fear that it
will again rapidly take an upward
course and reach the high figures of
one year ago. This metal enters
very largely into the construction of
incandescent lamps and all good con-
tact points, and its increase in price
would be felt quite largely through
out the electrical industry.-Ex.

HE GOT A DOSE.
Jacob Stenmetz Abused His Wife and Was
Pretty Roughly Handled

On Wednesday night Jacob Steinmetz
went to the house of his divorced wife. in
Jackson Park, and demanded admission.
His former wife was afraid of HIM and had
tied the door with q rope. Jacob broke the
rope and obtained an entrance to the
house. There are two stories as to what
happened afterwards. Steinmetz SAYS the
woman became frightened and fell upon
the floor, and began screaming murder.
The neighbors say Nc assaulted her, and
they were attracted TO the house by her
screams for help. Both sides. however,
agree In the statement concerning the
treatment received by Jacob at
the hands OF the nelghbors who
went to the woman's assistance. and
the mans appearance when he came
TO the station house last night to procure
the arrest of some of the persons gave
positive proof of the verooity of the state
ments. He was handled after the manner

amused themselves by playing foot ball

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Two Soldiers Raise Disturbance in Saloon
and Are Arrested.

Patrolmen Corhan and Nicholson last
night arrested two men for disturbing the
peace In the saloon at the corner of Alber-
marie street and Clifford avenue. The men
are enlisted in the ordnance department at
the Arsenal, and had to answer at roll-call
at IL o'clock or they would be put In the
guard-house. As ii was 10 o'clock when
they arrived at the station. they were
very much afraid they would not be
able to make it if they awaited
the arrival of friend who, they
said, was on his way to execute bond for
them. They tried to persuade turnkey Long
to release them uDon their promise 10 ap-
pear in Police Court in the morning, but he
refused. Suddenly q brilliant idea struck
one of the pair. He remembered that Gus
Rahke furnished the arsenal forces with
their meat and said he thought Gus would
60 on their bonds. Rahke was sent for and
came over and deposited $50 with the turn
key for their appearance. The men waited
just long enough to thank Rahke and then
left and started east at an exceedingly
lively gait. as they had but thirty -one
minutes to reach the arsenal and get into
uniform preparatory for the IL o'clock roll
call.
