Brown of the Twilight Mine
Tells What Has Been
Done at Cable.

Superintendent c. H. Brown of the
Twilight Mining company came down
from Gable yesterday and is registered
at the Montana. superintendent Brown
is one of a party of Denver capitalists,
or, perhaps ut is better TO say, mining
men, who are proving their fa1th In
their properly by their works.
The TwdM glit is becoming a daylight
proposition very rapidly, SAID MT.
Brown to a Standard reporter. The
mine is as yet undeveloped, but we are
hopeful of the future and satisfied with
the present situation. We have erected
this summer a 10-starnp mill ana nope

I'VE have had to contend with many
obstacles in getting our machinery up

were bothered considerably by pao
piece of ground which caved. We nave
this caught up now, and everything AT
the mine and mill is running smoothly:
Our property is developed by SHAFT
and about 900 feet of drifts. A tunnel
taps the lower levels of the mine, and
we are able ito run the ore by tram
way direct to the mill, which makes

work of development and Will be very
glad, of course. IL we do more.
we'll, and while we are able ITO make an
occasional cleanup we shal keep right

Just what we have got, but cannot

Every man who comes from Great
Falls is a travelling advertisement Tor
his city. Perhaps that is one reason
that the place has had such wonder-
full growth. They are equal to the
Californians in their enthusiasm ana
faith in their home. p. j. Shields, who
has been spending a few days in Ana
conda, Us just like the rest of them. He
has many interests there, ana Is con-
stantly adding to them.
Great Fails" said he, is to-day on
a better foundation than ever before
in the history of The city. The imitation
of values that existed there while we
lived on the future and what 1t would
bring has subsidized, and now business
Is being done in the present, the de-
mands of the day are what interest US
and for the future we have full conf
dence that 1t will take care of itself.
1.-The smelters and our other indus
tries are working steadily. The coal
mines at Belt are in operation, the cat
tlemen, the ranohers and all the peo-
pie round about are prospecting. and
Great Falls gets their business.
mo town in Montana has such d.
verslfied interests as find their center
in Great Falls. A few of them have
already been spoken of-the agricul-
tural, the stock raising interests of the
Missouri, Sun river and Judith basins;
the mines of Neihart and Barker; the
coal mines of Belt. the tremendous wa
ter power of the falls.
For the future we look forward to
the entrance of our city by the Bur-
lington road, which, in a few more
years. must push on from Billings,
through the Judith, or the Musselshell
country into Great Falls. This Is the
natural and the assured route, and
gives US two transcontinental rail-
roads.
"Only a little way farther on we can
see the time when, as has been predict
ed, Great Falls will he the PIttsburg of
the West. We have mountains of iron
standing neglected while miners are
giving their attention to the precious
metals. mountains which some day will
be torn down to make steel rails and
iron frames in rolling mills that will
be built on the banks of the turbulent
Big Muddy.
"All OF these things are coming. Some
of our people have been living as
though they already had them, but
they are getting over that now and
are working and living happily and
contented under present conditions,
satisfied that tomorrow will be as
good as yesterday"
