beginning January 16 when the Mon

the Miners Short Course. President
Francis A. Thomson announced yester-
day afternoon that the six-weeks

that it will be practically the SAME. 1t
will include six weeks study of as
saying, mineralogy, quartz and placer
mining, geology Of mineral and oil de-
posts, ore treatment, and mineral law.
1t is probable that the fee of SIS which
was charged last year for laboratory
supplies, chemicals and the like, will
not be assessed this year Whether or
not this fee will be charged depends on
the action Of the Vocational Education
board In any event from S. to $40 Of

of the course.

fit of prospectors, mine-owners, BUSH

Montana Tourist
Travel Shows Biz
Increase IN 1882
One Travel Bureau Reports IS Per

Nearly 1900 Travellers.

Helena, Dec. 31.-Motpr tourist travel
into Montana during 1882 experienced
q healthy growth over that of the pre-
vious year If records of one Of the
leading travel bureaus can be accepted
as definite indication, according to
the state division OF publicity which
annually supplies thousands Of folders

tourist bureaus and motor clubs in
other states.
This particular agency advises the
publicity division Of an increase OF APP
proximately IS per cent In the Mon
tana routings made by it last year over
those of 1881, and It estimates that BY
these routings 1882 persons travelled
to and through Montana this year.
In his letter the director Of the travel
bureau writes:
During the year 1881, $50 serv-
ices were sent to persons planning
trips to Montana Our survey is now
completed and it IS very gratifying tc
find that during 1882 we have received
14,274 requests for Montana routings
which is a decided increase.
I'VE have consistently estimated thai
the average motor party consists o.
three persons. If this estimate is es-
sentially correct the above figures may
be multiplied by three, giving a tota
of 42,822 persons travelling to and

added facilities and the growing pop
ularity of the bureau, we do not ex-
