distributing point for Arkansas
Kansas and the Indian Territory
The public spirited citizens ol
the town met and consulted, and
resolved that it was worth as much
to the railroad to come there and
form a junction with its other two
lines as it was to the town to have
this additional, road and concluded
that the railroad people were try
ing to "hold them up,' and in
tended coming there anyway.
They declined to do anything, and
sat back and waited, confidently.
They had not long to wait. Those
constructing the road brought it
within a few miles of Pierce City;
and then turned it connecting with
the main line at little switch six
or seven miles east of Pierce City,
and named the place Monett, and
Pierce City's future went up in
smoke, due to its picayunish citi-
zens, stinginess and coneeit. They
saw their mistake after it was too
late. When they fully realized
the truth, the concessions required
by the railroad would have been
given ten times over. But alas,
the opportunity had gone forever.
The little switch station has now
become a city twice as large as
Pierce, and is increasing in wealth
and population each year. Pierce
City has stood still. Let Vinlta
and her people be up and awake.
Let US learn from the experience |
of this once ambitious town an
object lesson. Let US not loose an /
opportunity that mey never come /
again, for by our iuaclion, history I
may repeat itself.

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.
A London Paper Discusses the Copper
Situation,

The following are the views Of the con-
sentative London Mining Journal as to
the prospects of the copper market in the
near future with special reference to the
European demand: Apart from the
question of American stocks. which must
constitute the dominating factor for some
time to come. the present price of cop
per Is amply justified from European
statistical point of view. Here in Eng
land the rate of consumption has been
satisfactorily maintained. and, with the
impending electrification of several rail-
ways. the equipment of further under
ground tubes in London, the adoption of
electric lighting and electric tramways
by various municipalities, coupled with
the busy state of our leading locomotive
builders and the free use of copper for
various purposes. there seems no reason
to anticipate any dimnution of our do
nestle demand for some considerable
time to come. On the continent the con-
ditions are certainly less favorable, par
ticularly in Germany, where a CONNER
cial crisis of some severity has had to
be laced. In signing for fresh CONNER
cial worlds to conquer, Germany rather
oVershot the mark during the prosperity
OF 1889. Signs of renewed activity are
however, not wanting, and better de-
mand for copper is again reported to be
sprlnging up. France has shown some
falling off since last year, but in much
less marked degree than Germany. Rus
STA. on the other hand, seems likely to
largely augment the purchases of copper
In anticipation of this, the intended es-
adjustment of a large copper smelling
works in the neighborhood of the eau
casus is reported. With any sensibly in
creased demand, a temporary copper
famine is not the remote contingency
some people may imagine. and this seems
to have dawned on ursine operators,

THE FORMATION DESCRIBED

The last issue of the New York En-

the following interesting article on the
corundum mines of Montana, which was
written by Leverett s. Ropes:
That corundum existed in Montana has
been known for some years, and it's
presence as gem is also widely known.
In the reports Of the United States
geological survey, mention is made Of
the occurrence in Montana Of crystals
Of corundum not of the gem variety but
up to the beginning of the present year
nothing was done to exploit any of
these discoveries in an economic way
for the production of the mineral in
that state as an abrasive; and while
considerable capital has become inter-
ested in the production of gems, not a
dollar had been expended on common"
corundum The locality now attracting
the most attention is in the southcentral
part of Gallatin county, and is included
in the Gneiss area of the Three Forks
Folio Of the United States geological
survey, on the headwaters Of Elk creek,
as there shown, in the group of foot
hills between the Gallatin valley and
Spanish Creek basin.
Corundum was discovered a number
OF years ago by Harris Kirk, who owns
several thousand acres Of ranch land in
these hills, and a crystal picked up on
this land came to the notice of parties
in Belgrade, who We're familiar with it's
use, and negotiated contract with the
owner for the mineral in his hands and
