The recent article in the Review o
Reviews on manufacturing in Mon
tana has created not a little comment
i'll mining circles. 1t says in part:
"The production of metals in The
northwest is intimately connected
with its production of coal. Both are
cause and both are effect. The de
mand of the shelters for coke is i'm
perative, and the dependence of the
mining industry on local smelters is
complete. The production of ore in
the northwest has only begun. In ten
years Montana will be a great iron
producing center. Unlike gold OF
even copper, the distance that raw
iron can be economically shipped by
railroad is limited. The recent devel
opment of iron ore bodies means
more for the development of the
country than the rapid growth of its
mines of precious metals. All that
Pennsylvania is, it is safe to predict
for Montana; and all that New York
stands for in the way of fruit, manu-
featuring and commerce n may
prophesy for Washington"
The development of iron and coal
mines in Montana is progressing with
great strides. Iron has been found in
a dozen portion of the state, and not
able indeed have been the iron un'
coverings in Lewis and Clarke. Beav
erhead, Cascade and jefferson count
les. James ]. Hill and the United
States steel corporation have experts
in the state and are taking over these
propositions the moment they show
signs of permanency. The production
of coal last year amounted to more
than 1880, 900, whereas ten years
ago, practically all of the coal con
sumed was shipped in. With the de
velopment of the coal and iron mines
the future of Montana in a line here
tofore sadly neglected-manufactur
ing-seems assured.-Western Min

they are handling and TO sell IL at a

have received catalogues and circulars
describing cheap and what are called
