4 rare, and OF grasses alone he has
u te than eighty kinds, with flowers,
n %, etc, In large numbers. Prof. 0.
g Morrison has catalogued over 400
dl orent kinds of metals, minerals,
cd !, rocks, etc, found In this region.
r. company with Prof. Morrison, We to-
d. visited the chief copper smelteri
"a saw the brown metal by car loads
asx learned that bv the electrical
ps0cess used In refining over 100000
ounces OF silver are extracted monthly
from the copper output. Nine huh4
dred men are employed, and with the
proposed wire and sheet copper mills
csmpleted, the force will be largely in
creased.
Along the double banks of the river
for eight miles, the water everywhere
can be harnessed to wheels and turned
to human use. With millions Of pounds
* wool marketed here every year, it
Is only reasonable to assume that this
will become the site of woolen mills, as
II has of silver and copper smelters.
With iron ore and coal, 1t Is natural to
think that furnaces, foundries and roll.
ihg mills Will spring up in close asso-
cfatfon with the raw material. The
descending grade from the gold, silver.
copper and Iron mines to this point,
must perforce of circumstances con.
centrate the smelling interests of vast
region along this available series Of
fails.
Our space will not permit us at this
time to say mere about this interest
ing and resourceful region, and we must
clt Sc with q brief reference to the re-
cent discoveries made by Prof. Scott
and q party OF Princeton College stu
dents. They found in the Smith River
Valley, south of here, whole skeletons
tf the camel, rhinoceros, and other
tropical animals, comprising in all forty
two species and twenty. two genera. Sew
eral specimens of the three-toed horse
were found. The remains are petri-
fed, lying in indurated clays and pro-
truding frcm the banks or sides of the
valleys or coulees. The Arrow Creek
Bad Lands, at the foot of the High
wood Mountains, east Of Great Falls, is
another interesting section, full OF
wonderful formations and abounding in
fossil shells ard remains OF sea lizards
and ancient reptile life. 1t Is a fam
tastic region, with deep coulees and
rocks twisted and bent into odd and
fanciful shapes. A lofty cliff exists in
this same locality, we'll filed with pet
ritied fishes. The Little Rockies and
Fear Paw Mountains are also rich in
fossil remains. This city is the nat
ural Quitting point for scientific, geo
logical, sketching, exploring, hunting
and fishing parties. We are under OBJ
legations to the energetic secretary OF
the Board OF Trade for printed matter
and personal attention, and prompt
consideration will be given to all In
quiries. J. q. JONES.

A Little Cheap staggering.

Enthusiasts OF the grape regions oi
New York point with pride to their
300 varieties Of grapes shown ct the
Worlds Fair and then swaggeringly
challenge California 70 equal IL. II ia
quite probable that even . greater
number OF varieties OF grapes couli be
picked up In California, but that signi-
fes nothing,
The number Of varieties OF the apple
IL probably over 1900, but IL would be
an idiot OF large dimensions who should
attempt to cultivate even . hundrodth
part OF this number for business pur-
poses. There Is not necessarily any
merit whatever In the production Of 3
great number OF varieties Of the same
fruit in any one localiry. A few OF the
best kinds Of each fruit may nay we'll
to cultivate for the market, but mot
many. We ere commercial OrChardists
In California, and do business Tor mon-
ey as rule: hence exclude and Gull
out all those varieties Of each fruit
which pay the least When the New
York grape growers better understand
the business they will do tho same, and
not boast Of 30U varieties. Caliic nj.

The Company May Resume.

II is now few days over year
since the Harney Peak Tin Mining,
Milling and Manufacturing Company
suspended operations at Hill City, the
center OF the tin mining region. This
action was a surprise, coming as it did
upon the heels of the successsui test
run at the new tin mill, which resulted
in the production of nearly 100 tons of
cassiterites or black oxide of tin.
While it was known that the mines
were hardly developed to point to
make the constant operation of 20C- ton
plant practicable, there was no ap-
parent reason for the shut down. 1t is
said that the Cause of the suspension
OF work was difficulty between the
English and American stockholders of
the company. Rumors have been
afloct at various times during the past
year that work is to be resumed and it
is now stated that the company has
just ordered a carload of candles,
which is thought to indicate that work
is to be resumed at an early date.

Aberdeen lminigra t0n Association.
AN enthusiastic meeting OF the Alb
erdeen Land District immigration AS
sociation was held ut Aberdeen. Up
wards OF twenty Of the most progress
i've members were present, and the
subject OF immigration was fairly and
freely discussed and q number of ex-
cellent plans advanced, looking toward
the encouragement of eastern farmers
thinking Of coming to that section. AT
the present time there are nearly 4OO,-
600 acres Of fertile agricultural lands
open for settlement In that district,
and nowhere in the entire Northwest
are offered better advantages to bona
fide settlers. Pamphlets and maps de-
scriptive OF the wonderful resources OF
this land district, will be printed and
distributed broadcast throughout the
East and South. The Milwaukee, the
Northwestern, and the Great Northern
Railway Companies have expressed
desire to do everything in their power
to induce immigration this spring.
Every thing considered at this early
date, the outlook is indeed encourag-
ing for healthy immigration boom
during 1894.

THE SAME OLD STORY
OF Rich Gold Discoveries In the bad
Lands.

OF Rich Gold Discoveries In the bad
Lands.
The report has again gained circu-
lation of rich gold discoveries in the
Bad Lands along White River in this
state. These reports are discredited
by those familiar with the matter.
For the past ten or twelve years this
story has been revived annually, bat
never before at this season Of the year.
A rush to the new '.diggings'7 can
hardly be expected in the dead of win
ter when the ground is heavily covered
with snow.
The finding of gold in the Bad Lands
was repo ted at the time the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Com
pany made its first survey across the
Sioux Reservation from Chamberlain
to Rapid City, ten years or more ago.
While the surveying party was in the
field it met many Indians. One OF
these one day became very communi-
cative and told one OF the party that
there was q place in the Bad Lands
where gold could be picked UP from
the bedrock. The Indian had with
him what looked like q gold nugget,
and this he showed to the surveyors,
but he refused positively to divulge
the exact location OF the alleged gold
deposit. He told q fairy tale about his
people carefully guarding the gold
field and that any OF the Indians who
told the whites of its exact location
would be promptly killed by their
brethren.
Members Of the survey party be-
lieve to this day that the Indian was
telling the truth, and that it was real
" gold which he showed to them, but
this is doubtful. Previous to the OPEN
ing to settlement Of the Sioux Reser-
walton it was q common thing for In
dians to come to town, look mysterious
and with urging exhibit what to an
Impractical eye looked lide gold mug
gets. But it was always discovered
that their gold nuggets were nothing
more nor less than fair samples OF py-
rites OF iron. 1t is likely that the
same kind Of gold nuggets were shown
to the surveyors and that they could
not distinguish the difference. Old
prospectors are OF the opinion that
some gold might possibly be found in
the Bad Lands, but not In sufficient
quantities to nav for mining.

PIANO Practice.
Utterly Useless In Some Cases, but Vocal
Exercise, Never.

The newspapers are continually publish
Ing jokes at the expense of the unmusical
young woman or girl who persists in prac-
ticinR upon the piano and going through
singing exercises. There is no more rea-
son to find fault with the latter custom
than with any other sort Of gymnastics,
for even If a girl can never learn to sing
proper vocal exercises properly practiced
strengthen the throat and lungs and there-
by improve the general health. But piano
practice to one who has nc taste for 1t Is
utterly useless. The confinement and
cramped position are irksome in The ex-
treme when there Is NJ compromising in
tellectual pleasure, and the feeling that
too often accompanies faithful practice,
the feeling that the pupil is constitutional
ly unable to achieve a musical result, no
matter how laboriously she perseveres, has
q depressing and unwholesome effect.
Yet thousands of parents persist in set
ting their daughters to learn to play the
piano in spite of natural aversion and in
capacity, n thousands of girls throw
away years of their youth IN attempting to
accomplish what Is to them impossible.
How much better it would be IL fathers
and mothers would have their children
taught those things which they are capa-

to them! If a girl has musical talent, by
all means cultivate 1t, but II she has not
let her learn millinery, dressmaking, hair
dressing, something that is available for
everyday use. She is not obliged TO make
it her profession if she docs learn it, and
she will be amply repaid for the small
outlay of time and money by the ability
to assist herself and her particular friends.
Nobody, man or woman, nc matter how
intellectual, hould be entirely helpless
and ignorant as to handicrafts. There Is
nothing degrading in a practical knowl-
edge OF any trade, and in these days OF fuc
tuating fortune such knowledge may on
occasion stand between q girl and desti-
tuition. So, II you care for your daughters
welfare, teach her a trade as well as &C
