OR MINING CAMPS.

1t would not be justice this New Years
eve to allow this issue to go abroad with
out words of congratulation to Neihart,
Barker and other. nelghboring mining
camps.
An unjust legislation has levelled a
blow against their principal industry,
bus the miners have risen to the occasion
and in place of it being a death blow to
silver mining, the mines of Neihart, I'M
like other camps which are struggling
for an existence. we have the pleasure of
knowing that at tie beginning of the
New Year we will see an increased number
Of ore trains on the Belt Mountain
branch, and more men employed in
mining than ever known in the history
OF Neihart. Accept our congratulations.
We knew it before as well as we know it
now that Neihart has the mines, she
has the people, and she has the energy
which has never yet said die. In former
columns of THE TRIBUNE the various
mines have been fully described, their
richness has beer shown up, time has
proved that they were even richer than
thought to be at that time In the mid
die of the worst mining panic the west
ern country ever saw, when the largest
silver mines in the state were closing
down. and giant silver corporations we're
looking to be in the hands of an assignee
or receiver, only young progressive Mel
hart could come forward and actually
declare a dividend on one of her mining
properties. Neihart's motto ought to be
Excelsior"

The following is from the New York
Recorder of a recent date and the school
authorities of Great Falls should take
notice and act accordingly: "Dr. Mereau
Morris of the board of health, who was
instructed a week ago by DR.. Cyrus Ed
son to visit the public schools in the
diphtheria district on the East side for
the purpose Of observing the habits of
the children and advising measures to
prevent the spread of the disease, is al
ready satisfied that the spread of diph-
liberia is due to the habit the children
have of putting slate and lead pencils in
their mouths during the day. When
school is over the pencils are collected
and the following day they are distrib-
uted, and a perfectly healthy child re-
ceives a pencil that the day before was
used by some n who had a sore throat.
Notice has been sent to school principals
to send home children having sore
Threats and to report the cases. In
some schools the practice of redistribut-
ing states and pencils has been given up,
for sanitary reasons.

our FUTURE.

Great Falls halls the year of 1884 with
enthusiasm. II holds much in store for
us and every business man is confident
that it will be the best we have ever ex.
perlenced There is gathering here the
elements which are going to make that
business better and better indefinitely
in the future. Our people have always
been confident and that confidence has
been based upon unlimited
and the splendid industrial establish
nents already in operation. We have
an unlimited water power, agricultural
lands and rich mines and the almost
certainty that with reasonable energy
Great Falls must always be the center of
trade and of interest to the whole section
Of northern Montana.
There is a feeling of certainty that the
year of 1894 cannot pass without the es-
tablishment of a number of large indus
tries here, negotiations for which have
been for some time under way and are
now nearly closed. All the omens are
good and the earth and the air are full
Of promises of such prosperity and peace
as wee never enjoyed before in this city.

THE CITY.

:. The remarkable success which has re
suited to this city by the Harvesting O
a small portion Of it's vast water power
and the transmission of it to be used TO
various purposes by its conversion int
electricity. must be a matter Of seriou
study to a thinking man.
When we remember that the Missouri
river for untold ages has flowed pas
this point with a power unthought o.
or if so, requiring a discerning mind tt
grasp the possibilities of its develop
ment, it is a matter of surprise to think
how few years it has taken to build uI
| gigantic establishments worthy of the
largest cities of the world, as also what
the possibilities are for the near future
with the advancement in the application
of electricity.
At the present time electricity is used
in many ways and forms in Great Falls,
among which may be mentioned electro
communication, electro-motion, electro
heat, electro-metallurgy and others.
By electo-communication we have the
telegraph and the telephone; by electro
motion we have a street car line system
which in point of equipment has no su-
perior, a flour mill with an output of 375
barrels per diem is operated to it's fullest
capacity, sewing and other machines re-
curing a light power are run by a small
motor attached to them. By electro
heat hotels, laundries, workshops, mills,
dwellings, street cars, etc., arc heated as
thoroughly as by the combustion Of
wood or coal.
BY electo-light the streets, hotels,
and houses are almost universally
either by arc or ~incandescent
lights, and which has resulted in fewer
Tres and thus caused a reduction in the
rate Of insurance.
BY electro metallurgy Great Falls has
been able in conjunction with an unlim-
ted supply of water for concentrating to
assert her supremacy in the copper
narts by the pureness and %cheapness of
Ter product, so that now in the eastern
markets the Great Falls copper bars,
ngots, etc, are considered the standard
~ purchasing ~syndicates.
When we con-ider the uses to which
Electricity car be put as motive power
or mills, factories, and other establish
nents for the manufacture of paper,
WOOL, cotton, paint, ETC., as also its easy
nd cheap application at this point, we
an see the writing on the wall, that
treat Falls is the coming manufacturing
ity of the northwest.
Great Falls is not only now a large
Iser of electricity, but she will also have
t for sale in the future to her sister
owns 10 the state. When the loss by
ong distance Transmission is overcome,
snail see our city supplying others
With electricity, by means of wires and
ables, cheaper by far than they can
manufacture it themselves; and it also
'oes without saying that every new cleo
ric discovery, every new invention for
he adaptation Of electricity to the in
|ustrial arts and sciences will only fur
her tend to make Great Falls known as
The Electric City of Montana

Great Falls owes her steady prosperity
largely to diversified industries. Wool
growing, stock raising, tillage, mining
smelling and manufacturing keep her
people employed. Dull. times in any one
pursuit is offset by activity in another.
This diversity develops the peoples ap-
titudee, increases the demand for skilled
labor, and enables this city after the late
business depression, from which other
places are yet suffering, to at once re-
sumo her place as the progressive man
ufacturing city Of Montana.

Ed CATION IN GREAT FALLS.

Education III this city has kept abreast
with the progress made along industrial
and commercial lines. We have a
thorough graded school system for every
child within the city limits.
From a single frame school house of a
few years ago we now boast Of the Whit
tier school building which cost $4,000,
the south side school which cost $4,000
the vest side school which cost $1,000
and large and well-appointed schools at
North Great Falls, copper smelter and
B. G. & +. addition, and the silver
snelter.
The course OF study is from elementary
TO a complete high school course. The
high school curse includes a thorough
business course of two years. an En-
glish course, and a classical curse of
four years. The teachers compliment
the children on their regular attend
snce and high standard of study and
school work performed
The high wages paid have attracted to
the schools the very best grade of teach
ers and graduates Of the best training
schools.
On November 50, 1893, the enrolment
in the schools was ISL, and it is under
stood the new year will see the thousand
mark reached. The attendance was as
follows: North side 407, South side 33j,
West side III. b. & G. +. addition Al. B.
& M. smelter q, silver smelter 81, North
Great Falls, q.
The elegant school buildings which
have arisen in the city within the last
few years attest to the fact that that the
spirit OF education is among US and that
our city need not be ashamed Of the
moral and intellectual development Of
her future sons and daughters.
The shipments Of two carloads of
bakers fiou, November 4. 1893, from
Great Falls to Liverpool calls to mind
the statement made by one of our citi-
Gems a year or two ago, that the time
would come before many years when
-four would be shipped from Great Falls
to Liverpool on one bill OF lading. This
is the dawn of a business that in time
will assume enormous proportions. The
valleys and table lands Of north Mon
tana will become one vast grain growing
country, and here at Great Falls will be
built up the most important four-pro-
ducing centre west Of Duluth and Min
nespolis.

An Imposing Ceremony.

At the dedication Of Columbus hos.
pital Sunday morning Bishop Brondel
delivered an exceedingly appropriate
and timely address. For the benefit Of
those who we're not fortunate enough to
be present we give a digest Of it below.
The bishop began with the scripture:
81 was sick and ye visited me-" and said
that these words spoken with divine au
thority have a place in the gospel, giving
a reason for eternal reward. The beau
tiful thought grows out Of them that
what is done to the sick is done to Him.
l rejoice IN this last day Of the Colum-
bian year to dedicate such a noble struc
ture. Columbus had a Christian spirit
and came with those frail boats to do a
great service. We are called upon to
consecrate a splendid building in this
new city where only a decade ago every
thing was as it had been for centuries;
in this new town which has such a water
fall at its gates that it must become the
first city of the state. Where so much
has been accomplished in a short time,
it is fitting as we'll that the plant Of
charity should send forth strong branch
es and bear such a magnificent flower.
Men have differing opinions concerning
religion and politics. At the banquet
given by the doctors the other evening
we saw men Of varying beliefs, but we
heard them all as with n voice prais-
ing charity. 1 am remindediof another
hospital that was aforetime founded in
old Jerusalem by all nations and the
Sisters Of Charity we're chosen to care
for the sick. Again in this new city they
will minister to the unfortunate. Who
are these Sisters Of Charity that have
left home and family to perform these
Christian offices? They are not strangers
here. They first came to Montana all
the way from Vancouver by the way of
Walla Walla to the Flathead country
and to work among the Indians of that
region as early as 1864. They came with
the pioneers, long before the railroad.
And 10Y it is fitting that this city which
in a very short time has become great in
other things should be great in charity.
May a blessing rest upon all who have
contributed to this hospital. May a
blessing rest upon you for it a be saId:
/ was sick and you visited me- May
you finally hear the glad words: Enter
now into the joys of your Lord
