An attempt was made the first

discovered, however, before it had
gained any headway, and was
easily extinguished. The damage
did amount to much.
Montana, during the year 1895,
has maintained her old prestage as
one of the great mining states of
the world. Her one camp OF
Butte has yielded about $40, ,00O,-

all the worlds history, except
during two or three years when
the great Bonanza in Virginia
City was giving up its chiefest
treasurers. In different parts of
the state new gold mines have
been discovered and old mines
have been reopened and explored
with magnificent results. In ag-
riculture large new areas of land
have been put under cultivation,
and we believe of all the arid states
Montana has the most land that
can be put under cultivation, and
more water than any other to give
life to the land. In all her ma
terial interests the great state is
struggling to take on the prosper
ity which was hers prior to the
great depression of 1898. OF
course she suffers because of the
general depression in the price of
silver-suffers more, perhaps, than
any other one state. but. like the
other intermountain states, she
does not depend upon industry
and can get along with her low
grade silver much easier than can
the states of the east, where the
prices of everything is made low
because of the warfare upon silver.
The men of Mon tana are a strong
race. They are filed with pride
for their state and with hope for
their own future. They are
loyal race, aud for all time to
come can be depended upon as a
bulwark to the union, as a mighty
potent force for the right within
the union. No heartier new years

If the revenue bill passes the
senate and becomes law, with
or without tie presidents sigma
ture, the wool producing states,
and especially Montana, will re-
turn to its former prosperous con.
dition in "a jump. Many believe
the president will veto the bill,
but the Acantha does not share in
that belief. The revenues of the
country are several millions short
of the expenditures. Something
must be done to check this, and
no one knows this better than does
the president. He may not ap-
prove of the wool duty-in fact,
he has always opposed it-but if
a republican congress insist on it,
he must accept their measures of
relief with the best grace possible.
