MONTANA NEWI.
A cattle c.tealiolg heme has Lben
unearthed in Marysville.
.lisso la is rejoicing over the pros
pect of IL K. sh,ps and round houses.
Montanla sheep herders are paid
from $3o to $35 per month and found.
The Parrot copper works at Butte
started up last week, employing over
four hundred men.
Gov. Carpenter issued a proclama
tion last week against cattle Ibeing
brought into the territory.
lion. George R. Tingle, of Iawson
county, Montana, has been appointed
I. S. agent of the Seal Islands, in
Alaska.
A I,ooo-foot long bedrock water
tunnel has been constructed under
Helena the past winter by W. A.
Chessman.
Some of the officials of Iuffalo,
Big Horn valley, have struck it big in
the death of Nettie Write, a woman
of easy virtue and immense fortune,
who leaves no relatives "as anybody
knows of."
Robert Williams, a laborer, who has
been confined by sickness in the Sis
ter's Hospital, Missoula, for some time
past. became demented and on being
arrested and put in jail, cut his throat
with a case knife.
A. M. Osborne, a conductor of a
wood train running into Missoula, was
killed one week ago Friday and his
train wrecked by a steer running on
the track in front of the caboose while
the train was backing.
In reply to a report that the bril
hant Thomas Francis Meagher, form
erly secretary of Montana, was drunk
when drowned in the Missouri several
years ao, a correspondent of the
Madisoaua, says: "I know and can
prove by at least one of his political
enemies that on the night of his sad
death he retired duly sober. Close to
his stateroom door was a coil of lope,
over which, in the darkness, he stum
bled into the Missouri."
(Minimng and icientice Pam, Sam Fvrnceo.J
We had a conversation this weed
with Mr. N. A. Foas who has been i
resident of Montana some years, and
who has been engaged in smelting
operations in that Territory. He
speaks of Butte as the greatest mining
camp of the United States, but he
says the low price of copper has beet
and a detrimental to its interests
Moreover, as the mines are deepenec
not as much silver is obtained as neare
the surface. It is his opinion thai
Montana mining interests will neve
be as prosperous as they should unti
the rate of wages is lowered. Thed
are just as high now as five years ago
while the necessities of life are mucl
lower in price, being brought in by thd
railroads. The high rates of trans
portation are also injurious to the
section, and these must in time be
lowered also. Should wages continue
as at present, and transportation rates
as high, some of the smaller worki
will have to close, and the copper
inmaes will go more into the hands ol
larger concerns The Butte ores are
very easily worked, but with the pres.
ent conditions, and low price of the
product, little or no profit can be
made.
Mr. Foss says times are just non
dull for Montana, as they are elsewhere
A great many people are coming ii
all the time, in fact more than can gee
work. There is a heavy immlgration
this spring and the trains are crowded,
though many are going through to
Oregon and Washington. He says
od miners can always find work.
re are numbers of men there who
have previously done little or no work
in the mines, and experienced mea
are in demand. At Maiden, for in
stance, good miners are scarce.
Our informant dloes not express a
very high opinion of Montana farming
resources. It is too cold a country
for very successful farming. The main
dependence is on mining, cattle and
sheep. The farmers used to get high
prices for their products, but the rail.
roads have stopped that and can bring
it in cheaper than it can be produced
in so cold a region. There is little
sak for farm products when compet
ing prices are considered.
The above contains many truths
and some errors. This being too cold
a country to raise crops will surprise
the nmost of us. We can raise nearly
everything here that can be raised in
Minnesota, except perhaps, yellow
corn. Montana beats the world on
potatoes and oats, and within five
years will raise sufficient wheat to
supply the territory with flour. The
lack of rainfall is the chief drawback
to farming, which is being overcome
