"The railroads also consented to
extend the distributing rate out Of
Billings as far west as Helena and
Butte, where heretofore it only ex.
tended to Belgrade. This will enable
Billings manufacturers to open up
much new territory.
although this concession INJURIES
Helena to a certain extent in Offering
an opportunity for closer competition
and to rob her of q part Of the whole
sale trade, the Helena business men
gave us their support in securing the
concession, and had it not been for
them we never would have secured 1t
in a thousand years. In fact, If the
business men of the capital city and
the delegations from other cities had
not used their influence it is doubtful
if Billings would have secured n
concessions at all.
B. & M. to Reduce Rate.
"Both Northern Pacific and Bur.
lington officials alike treated us fine
in making concessions. The Burling.
ton officials have consented to reduce
the local rates out Of Billings on their
main line and displayed a very friend
" spirit toward the city.
"since attending the hearing I am
more than ever convinced tat Bill.
ings shippers should patronize the
two railroads running into this city ex.
clusively. In a way doing this is
boosting home industry, and / am as.
sured that If the people of Billings
display a more friendly spirit toward
the railroads and give them their
patronage they will not have cause
to regret 1t.
"The citizens and business men OF
Helena have. a greater interest in
Billings and are displaying a much
more friendly interest toward this
city than v e before. They are boost
ers for the metropolis of eastern Mon
tana and want to see us succeed and
grow to be a large city.
"They are planning a big four days
carnival and Fourth Of July celebra-
ton that bids fair to be equalled only
by the carnival We r to give in this
city. A large sum has been appropri-
ated for floats in the parade and to
Helena the carnival will be what the
Mardi Gras is to New Orleans"

OPTIMISTIC IS
Mr.. BANBERCER
Anticipates a Gradual Improve
ment in Metal Market
Conditions.
EAST is IN GOOD SHAPE.
Pleased With Progress Made at Park
City Towards Opening of
Ontario's Tunnel

jacob Il. Bamberger, president of the
DAILY West Mining company, is conf
dent that the next few months will
bring forth some important changes i'm
the metal markets. He believes prices
are going higher; that copper win soon
settle around 10 or 16 cents pound,
and that lead, as well as silver, will
make material advances within the
next so days.
Il feel very optimistic" declared Mr.,
Hamburger to a News representative
today, over the outlook for the future.
In the east, conditions have improved
wonderfully within the past few weeks
money is more plentiful and the wheels
Of industry. which were slowed down
during the latter part of last year, are
getting into motion again OF course,
1t IS going to take q little time to get
things to running along as they ought
to after such a shaking up as we have
had, but the condition OF the country
is good, and II is possible to get money
TO finance business enterprises. where
as. Il few weeks ago IL could not be OBJ
tanned at any price.
This simply means that employment
Will be found for the thousands who
have been left without anything to do
and that there will be general restor-
alton of confidence everywhere"
I'm the iron regions of the east, the
big iron and steel plants are getting
back into commission again and this
is the best indication in the world of
returning confidence. ] think the min
ing industry of the country will be
among the first to come forward
again"
Mr.. Bamberger is greatly pleased
with the advancement made at Park
City during the past week towards the
restoration of the Ontario drain tunnel
to its former usefulness. 1T looks
now" said Mr.. Bamberger AS II We
were getting about to the end of our
trouble up there, and that the avenue
will soon be opened. The best evil
dence of this is the fact that the
water in the shaft lowered 6Ia feet
yesterday and by this Is indicated that
the hole driven In from the parallel
drift has entered a point back of the
last obstruction. Other holes are be-
ing driven and l think that in a little
while we will have the mine drained.
The water has been up above the LOO
level Of the mine, or about 400 feet
above the tunnel"
Regarding the resumption of opera
lions at the DAILY West and other
mines operated under his direction, Mr..
Bamberger stated that in all proba-
bility no attempt would be made to
resume production of ore to any great
extent until after the Ontario tunnel
is opened when it is the intention to
carry out the plans laid out more than
three years ago for the development
and operation of the DAILY West mine
at depth; that of driving IN from the
Ontario tunnel level. AT the present
time the DAILY West company has
about 20 men working on development
a portion OF whom are engaged in
drifting drift towards the Little Bell
workings.
