In THIS GREAT YOUNG STATE
Slxty-SX Million Dollars Worth of Metals Produced
During Year Just Ended.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 2s.-No western
state has shown a greater material adj
vancement during the past year than
has Montana, and within its own his
tory no other year has witnessed half
the progress and development of its
resources. Although the states great
est wealth lies in it's mines and mineral
deposits. the developments of other re-
sources has demonstrated that its
prosperity is no longer absolutely de-
pendent upon its mines. The stock and
wool industries, agriculture and horti-
culture, and manufactures of many
kinds, though still in their infancy,
have been developed to such an extent
as to demonstrate that the state may
be a great commonwealth independent
of its mines, and that with them it
must always be one of the most pros
porous and progressive in the Union.

ment store operated by the Anaconda
company in that city is responsible for
conditions there. Butte is bigger and
better than ever. and this has been a
d-breaker in building and mining.
1t is not yet possible to give an esti-
mate of the total copper output of the
Butte district for the past year, but the
fact that the Anaconda company alone
will show net earnings of at least So
600. 900. will give some idea of what the
total of the district-which includes all
of the Amalgamated properties, the
Clark mines and the properties of the
Montana Ore Purchasing company, be-

be when it is footed up.
More men are employed in the mines
than ever, and the only drawback is the
uncertainty as to the intentions of the

able properties in the district except
those controlled by the HeinZes and
Senator Clark. The amalgamation has
not yet been altogether perfected and

WHAT ROCK SPRINGS
HAS BEEN DOING
Most Famous Coal Town in the
West.

While perhaps there areAcities in the
mountain region that apparently have
been treated with more generosity by
kind nature than has Rock Springs, yet
there is none, at least along the Union
Pacific, that has the natural resources.
When, in a late campaign, a political
orator who wanted to say something
to compliment his audience here in
Rock Springs informed them that 20
per cent of the entire freight business
that originated along the >ne of the
Union Pacific railroad came from Rock
Springs, it was generally supposed that
he was somewhat mistaken, but your
correspondent on meeting Superintend-
ents Harris and Hay a few days later,
learned from these gentlemen that the
figures were correct.
Great Coal Camp.
The year just closed has been for us
one of unprecedented prosperity. Rock
Springs coal is famous and a few fig
ures obtained from Agent Levasgne
are quite Interesting at this time.
1t appears that during the year the
number of cars of coal shipped was
$500, creating a revenue of $2,500,000,
against {, 355 cars of coal shipped dur
ing the year 1898, with a revenue of
81, 1900
During the year just closed there was
received at Rock Springs station LOO
carloads of freight and this with the
local freight created a revenue of $780,
600, against 1000 cars during 1898, with
a revenue of $14S.0O0. The miners en-
ployed by the Union Pacific are paid
liberal wages, and no reduction has
ever been made since the camp was
first opened, some twenty-five years
ago. The payroll during the year just
closed averaged between $4,000 and
100000 a month, with no show of de-
creasing during the next three months
Another great industry centering here
is the sheep business, more than go, 900
sheep being owned by people getting

seat of Uinta county, situated in the
extreme western part of Wyoming,
justly claims recognition as the third
city of Importance in the confines of

a large grazing mining and farming

a glorious future for its commercial

New Wool Warehouse.
The sheep owners, before another
clip, are going to build a large wool
warehouse, so they can hold their wool
here without paying storage and freight
to hold it in an eastern market. The
money for this enterprise is already
subscribed.
The prospects for 1900 for Rock
Springs are very bright. The Union
Pacific is unable to supply the demand
for coal from its four large mines,
which are in operation night and day,
and intends opening a new mine very
shortly, which will give employment
to many men.
The financial condition of the city of
Rock Springs shows that during w. K.
Lees administration as mayor the city
accumulated about $4,000 in the city
treasury without any direct taxation,
while during the two administrations
preceding Mr.. Lee, special tax of
some $1,000 to $4,000 had to be levied
yearly to keep the city even.
