PROJECTORS OUT FOR GOLD.
One Curious Result in Montana Of the Anti.
Silver Agitation.
(1Ielena independently

CHelena Independently
An Immediate benefit of the attack
upon silver results from the new energy
given to the discovery and development
of gold and copper properties. From all
mining sections of the state we hear
gratifying reports in this line. The re-
ceipts of the assay office in this city to
which we have referred are substantial
evidence that gold mining this year will
return at least one million dollars more
to the State than was received last year.
The indications are that this amount will
be much larger if the work is carried on
with the success apparent within the last
month.
From the Anaconda Standard we learn
that new strikes have been made in the
famous French gulch, abandoned years
ago because of finds in other sections:
the rich places in the vicinity of Helena
are being worked on larger scale than
in recent years and plans are. now under
consideration for large development
work. Perhaps the best sign is found in
the activity of prospectors. During the
last six weeks location notices on placer
ground have been filed in great numbers,
and hundreds of men are now out in
search of gold-producing ground.
This is true not only of Lewis and
Clarke country, which is shown by
figures to be one of the richest gold
regions in the country, but of all other
sections of the State where gold has been
discovered. Large deals which contem-
plate extensive operations have lately
been made in Madison county and many
Eastern capitalists are becoming inter
ested in old as well as new properties.
Recent improvements in machinery and
methods of working have made it posi-
BILE to mine gold in the old gulches at a
fine profit; an illustration of this may be
cited in the success of several large COM
panies in Alder gulch where gold was
early discovered in Montana, and which
was supposed to have been worked out
under the crude methods of early days.
The rich fields around Pony are also at
tracing deserved attention, and will be
rapidly developed The Butte papers
tell us that prospectors are leaving that
city by scores, and have already made
fine discoveries in gold and copper with
in the vicinity of the great camp.
This satisfactory outlook is of special
interest to the people of Helena because
within ten miles Of the city lie unde-
veloped gold properties greater than any
yet ever discovered, and we predict that
within the coming two years the results
will be far more important than. those Of
the fabulously rich placers in the early
days. The slump in silver is q direct
cause of the new interest in this direction
and, until the white metal receives that
justice which must certainly be accorded
in the near future. the characteristic en-
ergy of Montanians will be finally re-
warded by work in these long neglected
fields. We are told in a good old hymn
that "God moves in mysterious way
his wonders to perform" Perhaps this
is righteous method of Providence to
visit Judgment on the people of this
State for allowing the gold properties to
go undeveloped.

Another great engineering work re-
Gently completed Iin Texas is the very
high cantilever bridge over the Peoos
river. This bridge, some $50 feet high,
while not the highest in the world, is one
of the highest, and at the same time one
of the most considerable railroad struc-
lures ever erected. When the engineers
locating that part of the Southern Pa
they wanted to 60 directly across with
bridge; but more timid counsels pre-
vailed, and instead of taking flying
leap over canyon more than 300 feet
deep, it was decided to make detour Of
25 miles by way of the Rio Grande. This
was II or u years ago. This longer route
though the curves were sharp and the
grades steep. was expensive to build and
maintain, and more expensive to oper-
ate. 1t was a heavy tax on through
freight, and several years ago it was de-
cided to take the flying leap of the Pecos
and thus avoid the grades and curves
and longer haul. The Phoenix bridge
company did the work. The entire
length of the bridge is 218O feet from
abutment to abutment. There are two
cantilevers 172 feet inches long each,
and one suspended lattice-girder span OF
80 feet. This suspended span is hung
between 'the two cantilever spans on
eight massive bars, and expansion spaces
are left at each end of several inches
where it should join the cantilevers.
The intense Sheat of the summer sun
makes this space for expansion neces-
sity. In addition to these spans there
are eight lattice spsns ct IS eest each,

a HEALTHY INDUSTRY.

When the administration has had the
money question fixed up TO it's liking,
or otherwise, 1t 10 understood that it's
pledge TO Great Britain on the tariff
question will be taken up. II has been
favorite argument OF the tariff reform
ers that the. United States has an insig-
ni6cant representation in she merchant
marine OF the world in comparison to
that OF free trade England. Shipbuild-
ing is cited as one industry that has al
most wholly disappeared from the
country under the system Of protection,
but the argument will have to be drop.
ped in the coming discussion.
In paper read before the water COM
merce congress Of the Worlds Fair by
Mr.. Thomas J, Vivian, the official who
had charge Of the transportation statis-
tics OF the last census, 1t was shown
that the total merchant tonnage OF the
United States is less than 10000 tons
behind Great Britain, and that we &C.
tually have 1000 more vessels than she
has. Comparison has heretofore been
made between the foreign going and
the coastwise Shipping Of the free trade
country and the foreign going shipping
alone of this country, wholly ignoring
the fact that our own cosstwiee and in
terror shipbuiiding ia o part OF the great
industry, as well as the others. BY this
method of comparison the opponents
Of protection have afforded themselves
great delight. 1t has also been OF no
little aid to them in making votes. Mr..
Vivian takes the entire foreign and do
mestic tonnage OF both countries into
consideration, with the results here
noted. He places steamers against
steamers, sailing vessels against calling
vessels and barges against barges. He
finds that the United States has 24,579
crafts and Great Britain 1854. The
American tonnage is 1854, 9l6 and that
Of Great Britain 7,64l, l54. Our excess
Of vessels in number lie astonishingly
great, while in the matter OF tonnage
the lead Of the old country is insignia,
cant.
There are many other points in Mr..
4 Vivian's summing up which are OF the

to put stop to the prating about the

Vivian's exhaustive paper, under The
