= Mild Winter.

Glasgow Record: Eastern papers
should inquire a little more infinitely
into facts before they publish such dis
patches as the one recently sent TO the
Minneapolis Journal. The dispatch was
from Helena and stated that Montana
was experiencing one of the most Sc
we're winters of its history and cattle
an consequence were dying by thou
sands. The truth is the present winter
mas so Tar been one of those winter
seasons characteristic of Montana
open and midland all kinds of stock
are wintering in first-class shape. We
have not yet heard of single instance
in this section of stock having to be
fed this winter, which is much more
than our friends of Minnesota and the
Dakotas can say.

Chinook Opinion: Since the 18th Of
January we have experienced our
first winter weather. Fortunate
~ thls spell has frequently
been interspersed with chinooks. In
the Milk river valley proper the snow
lays deep and is drifted but an entirely
different condition prevails in the Bear
Paw and surrounding range. We are
RELIABLY Informed that a preponder-
ance OF the range is completely bare Of
snow. A steady chinook was also re-
ported by young Buckley as having oc-

are in good shape As an evidence of
these facts but very, very few cattle
have come into the valley, showing
mat milo weather and ample feed pre-
walls. Thus far. our winter has been
very favorable for stock of all de-
scriptions.

Mining InNestm ants

Western Mining Exchange: We
notice Just now a lot of rot in the east
ern papers all pertaining to mining
and all more or less in the form of ad-
vice to investors. All the different
methods Of ewindling the public are
here duplicated in colors, showing how
the smooth mining promoter comes
with his pockets well filled: he wines
and dimes his victims; he has highly
colored maps, reports and assays of
his great mining property; claims it
to be a second Anaconda, and forth
with begins to dispose of the shares in
a duly Incorporated company. He may
have one of the best mining properties
in the West, and again he may not,
but If the would-be Speculator Is fool
ish enough Ito put up his money on
such bare statements, why, all we
have to say, he might have parted with
it to those who would not have done
as much good with Ii. AS a rule the
mining promoter at least keeps il in
general circulation. If people put their
money into a mining scheme without
a personal inspection of the property
they are purchasing, they are going it
blind. and deserve but little considera-
ton from anyone. Would a man pur-
chase a mercantile business of any
kind without first making a close in
spection? Then why should he put
doing the same? When money is ex-
pended in legitimate mining enter
prises 1t invariably pays greater re-
turns than any other kind of invest
ment. There are still innumerable op-
portunities in the West to invest, and
that safely with every assurance of
making handsome returns, but il
should be done in a businesslike man.
ner. No mining property should be
purchased without first properly ex-
aiming IT. and IL you are so unfor-
fortunate as to not know the difference
between a piece of quartz and a brick.
the proper thing to do is to employ a
competent mining expert to advise
you. When this is carried out there
need be no great amount of failures
recorded. No truer words were ever
uttered than "A verdant green is born
every second" and we might add None
of them ever die"

of George Washington, who are noted
for their truth and veracity, were tell
ing of their return from a feed, at
Waterloo during a certain night about
two years ago. Billie said that the
darkness was so intense that Doc used
it for an easy back on his wagon seat

while Joe said he got somewhat

Great Falls Tribune: Several Mon
tana cities appear to have the boom
fever and 10 have il bad just about this
time. Missoula is one of them. It's
people have been advocating all man
ner of enterprises and thus far a brew
lican of that city gets into the ring and
declares: "Missoula seems destined TO
become the center Of a mining district
of vast extent. Whoop her up There's
nothing too good for the fairest of
Montana cities"
This is rather indefinite. but in the
absence of detail il will have to go.
In this resepct Helena has a long ad-
vantage over Missoula. 1t has i'm
mense mines of gold in sight of the
city and they are to be worked for all
there is in them, probably more. Re
garding the alleged discoveries, the
Herald enthusiastically says that con
trary to the established ideas of min
ing men, the porphyry beds of this re-
gion are proving to be carriers of great
wealth" 1t then says that the find in
the Helena mining district in sight of
the city is many times richer than the
Rimini dyke and is at least 1000 feet
wide, but there is a lack OF water and
the ore must be hauled to some point
where water is plenty for treatment in
large quantities. Then thousands of
what is already i'm sight. And the ar
ticle concludes: Great excitement has
been created by this discovery, which
has been made public only after many
claims along the course of the dyke
had been staked. Land that a few
days ago could have been bought for
$40 is now held at $1,000 per acre" we
hope that the sanguine expectations of
our capital friends will he realized.
though some portions of the item are
not reassuring. The woeful lack of
water has an especially bad look.
There must also be some mistake as to
the price of the property 1t is not
possible that up to a few days ago there
was any land within sight of Helena
that could be purchased for $40 per
acre. 1t would be manifestly unjust
to Helena to dispute that many claims
have been staked along the dyke. or
that these claims are held" at 81 900
per acre. This is the natural sequence

was a time when the medical faculty
was so competent as it is to-day. There
never was a time when its ministra-
