HE CLIMATE or MoNTANA.

A writer in the January number Of
the Northwest Magazine right sharply
takes to task another writer in the
Century for December. The latter, for
the purpose Of extolling the climate Of
Texas, found it necessary TO disparage
the weather Of this state. Against the
flight Of fancy Of the Century writer the
correspondent Of the Northwest Maya
zine quotes the unromantic records OF
the weather office to show that the eli
mate Of Montana is not rigorous in the
extreme. He boldly afIirms that exam
nation of the daily records for six years
shows that the average daily tempera-
ture in Helena in winter has been at
least twenty-five degrees below that OF
St. Paul This fact, and the further
fact that in proportion to ITS population
Montana markets annually more fat
cattle, sheep and horses than any other
region Of the United States, and that
these animals are bred, grown aud made
marketable without winter feeding or
care, he regrets, are not sufficient TO dis
pei the prevailing idea that the Mon
tana climate must be frightfulIy cold.
The writer still further aflirms that
Montana averages more days Of deli
cious sunshine TO the year than any
portion Of the country, save the extreme
southwest. These facts, o. course, have
long been known to the people Of this
state, and ia gratifying to have a publ
cation of the standing and circulation
OF the Northwest Magazine give them
publicity.

TRUSTS were unknown before the
passage Of the Mckinley law. Within a
few months after the law went into
effect trusts began to multiply and in
crease. Ia a short time we had the
sugar trust, the cordage trust, the steel
rail trust, the tobacco trust, the whisky
trust, the threshing machine trust, and
monopolies in a great many other ar
ticles Of general use. They we're all or
gained on much the same basis as tho
sugar trust, which, on plant worth
55,540,000. issued stock 90 the extent Of

Richness of Mines In the Eastern Part
of San Diego County.
San Diego Sun: d. M. Dubray, who
was here as real estate dealer during

He comes from Gold Rock camp, in the
Cargo Muchacho mountains, where he
is engaged in the mining business. The
camp ia Is miles northwest OF Yuma.
and only four miles from Ogilvie station
on the Southern Pacific road. There are
ebout 250 people at the place. The
Golden Gross Mining and Milling com
pany has 40-stamp mill in operation.
but will increase it this winter to 100
stamps. Each stamp crushes three tons
a day, and the rock runs from $40 to 500
ton in gold. Water is brought in
3-inch pipe from the Colorado river.
Dubray thinks these mines. located in
San Diego county, are destined to be-
come the greatest In the United States.
Instead OF the usual ore vein of one to
five or ak feet in width, he says, the
work OF development go far shows q
body of ore not less than 200 feet in
width. An entire mountain, in fact,
appears to be good rich ore, which is to

which he is travelling this summer was

mark.

Irishman, "he's got his presidential
