A 4IIAFVELER'S NOTES.
Dr. E. D. Peters, who was formerly su.
perintendent of the Parrot smelterat Butte
gives in the Engineering and Mining
Jourr al some notes of a trip which em
braced a visit to Great Falls. His im
pressions are hurried and reflect the
opinions, good or bad, which travelers
form quickly. Great Falls' position is
now so strong that our people will read
with complacency some of Dr. Pet
ers' comments. It will be seen from the
following extract that he deeme real es
tate rather high:
Passing rapidly through Wickes, with
its smelters shut down on account of the
temporary failure in ore supply of the
best local mines, we reach Helena, and
in a few hours more, cross the Missouri
and are in Great Falls.
This is a thriving town of great future
promise, and owning water power of a
million horse power or more. But it
seems to mse, Judgine from the prices of
city lots, that Its Inhabitants are discount
ing the future a little. Having a thous
and or two dollars idle, It occurred to me
that it would be a good idea to buy a
dozen or more lots near the center of the
town, and I was prepared to go as high
as even $250 apiece for extra good ones,
on the main street. Consulting a real es
tate agent, to whom I had a letter of in
troduction, he assured me that I could
not have struck a better time, as there
was a tenporary tightness In the money
market, which was forcing a number of
heavy land-owner to unlead.
Dreams of several hundred per cent.
of.o al --ozeA a domng tot on he
main street, a few blocks from the busi
ness centre, I asked him the lowest cash
price for the six. He looked at me with
increased respect, and remarked that a
week earlier those lots would have
brought $25,000 apiece at public auction,
but as he had peremptory order to sell
them at any sacrifeice, he would venture
to put in the six at $120,000 cash, and
could have the deeds ready in twenty
lour houars!
I did not quite faint on the spot, but
muttering some incoherent remark aboul
"having the title examined first," I crawl
ed feebly out of his presence firmly re
solving to stick closely to copper smelt
lag in future and leave real estate to
those who had money to pay for it.
As to "discounting the future a little,'
we would remark that all progreasive
towns do so. Property Is higher in Chi.
cago, New York and Duluth because
each of these cities is growing and will
continue to grow. In Great Falls the in
dustries, located and In operation, the
trade of the town and the tributary coun.
try from a firm basis for values and ac.
count for the prices which so surprised
Dr. Peters.
Regarding the Boston & Montana'smel
ter, Dr. Peters makes these remarks:
The Boston & Montana company of
Butte is preparing to erect extensive
concentrating and smelting works on the
north bank of the river, a couple of mlses
below the town of Great Falls. No doubt
they have carefully considered the mat
ter, but it seems to me a most unfortu
nate business to have to transport their
crude ore this great distance by rail, and
over the main divide of the continent,
where a locomotive finds it difficult to
crawl at a rate of six miles an hour, with
two or three passenger coaches.
The choice of Great Falls for the Bos
ton & Montana works was made after
careful inquiry and was determined sole
ly by business principles. The company
sought water, water power, fuel, railroad
facilities and an ample site for their
smelter and concentrator. All these
conditions were combined at Great Falls.
Hence it was as natural that the Boston
& Montana company should locate their
works here as it was for Paris Gibson, the
Pillsburys and Washburns to build flour
mills at Minneapolis. The cost of trans
porting "the crude ore" seems chiefly to
trouble Dr. Peters. This matter has
been arranged to the satisfaction of the
Boston & Monntana company, who found
that all things considered they could pro
duce copper here on a large scale at less
cost than in Butte or anywhere else in
Montana.
In these days grades or distance do not
wholly deternnne the cost of transporta
tion, as Dr. Peters seems to suppose.
When a certain quantity of freight is en
sured steadily a great railroad company
can afford to make terms that will not be
burdensome. euch without going into
further details, we can assure Dr. Peters,
is the case here.
Dr. Peters discerns the undoubted
merits of our silver smelter. Writing of
it, he says:
A drie ofi four miles on the south bank
of the liiosscl.i brlngsone to the superb
Ila.nt ',f the M'intana Smelting company.
I'hie lS a silhvi lead smelter, and in point
of general arrangement, size and conven
ience of buildings, and general arrange.
meat of plant, is far ahead of anything I
have ever seen in the country.
Indeed, I elxpected nothing less from a
concern that has Anton Ellera as mang.
ing director, with Dr. R. W. Raymond as
brother director, and Mr. R. Stlcht as
metallurgist. Mr. H. W. Child Is general
manger, but was unfortunately absent at
the time of smy visit.
The blast furnaces are four in number,

with room for a fifth, and the calciner
p :nt is unusually extensive in propor
on to the smelting capacity.
The engines, shafting and machinery
Sgeneral, are the best I ever asw in
Inelting works, and are of ample capac.
,y, so that stoppages for repairs are al
most unknown.
Tnese works are most fortunate In
laving an apparently unlimited oupp:y of
.:rbonate of lead ores in the Belt moun
ains, a district that will soon be tapped
by railroad, and that will no doubt place
them in the beat position of any of the
.Ielters as regards lead ores. I did not
oully realize the bitter struggle for lead
.res until I was informed that one-quar
Ler of 1 per cent. of lead in an ore is reck
mrned and paid for.
In less than a year when the Boston a
Montana smelter Is in operation we hope
Dr. Peters will revisit Great Falls when
we are confident he will admit the sag
acity displayed in locating the great ee
ablishment here.
ToE Springfield Republican gives the
following interesting account of Govern
or Toole's bride: "Miss Rosecrans was a
devoted daughter to her Invalid mother,
who died in Washington six years ago.
Since that time she has been her father's
companion, and her devotion to him has
been constant and beautiful. Her ac
quaintance with Governor Toole began
five years ago, when he was a delegate
from the territory of Montana. General
and Miss Rosecrans and Delegale Toole
lived at the same hotel, and for two years
sat at the same table. Love founded on
the friendship at a hotel table has a pret
ty solid foundation. There is nothing
like daily table manners in a hotel or
boarding house to bring out the real na
ture of a man or woman. And so it is
a believed that Miss Rosecraeu and Mr.
f roole know their own minds and are
pretty well acquainted. Miss Rose.
crane Is a blonde, with a wealth of beau
s tiful fair hair, and a tall, slender figure.
a she was born a Catholic, one might say,
for her father was a convert in early life,
and her mother became one soon after
marriage. Governor Toole is not, I be
lieve, a member of any church. General
Rosecrans is much pleased with his
daughter's choice. It is likely that, after
mf he retires from his position as register of
the treasury, he will spend most of his

GovEano R HILL in a message to the
New York legislature recommends a
change in the method of deciding con
tested elections in the case of members
of the general assembly. He suggests
I the passage of a concurrent resolution
submitting to the people an amendment
to the state constitution which will take
from the house the power of passing up
t on the election of its own members and
It confer the jurisdiction upon the courts.
He will also recommend such action on
the part of the legislature as is likely to
bring the subject to the attention of con
gress, with a view of securing ultimately
a similar amendment to the federal con
atitution. "This," says the governor,
"would compel contests to be decided up
on their merits and relieve the legislative
bodies from a standing temptation to do
injuries." This is an innovation not
s likely to be accepted soon.
Tam Washington correspondent of the
the Salt Lake Tribune telegraphs the fol
lowing to his paper, showing the friendly
(t) feeling of the administration towards
silver: "It is stated in inside circles that
President Harrison has indicated that
wide-open silver legislation will not meet
with the executive approval, and that
any measure which 'throws down the
hars,' as one of his friends puts it, will be
met by a prompt veto. My informant,
who is in a position to speak by the card,
says that while the administration thinks
the house caucus bill radical, it can be
enacted into a law, but that any measure
providing for unlimited coinage, or in
tended as an open assault on Secretary
Windom, will doubtless be vetoed."
SMALL stocks at the mills but no high
er prices for wool, is the burden of the
reports from the Boston wool market.
Manoufcturers are buying for immediate
consumption, but owing to the depressed
condition of the woolen goods industry
the price of wool is not expected to ad
vance. It would be otherwise if manu
facturers were making good profits on
their products. Then they would turn
out goods in greater quantity and would
compete more actively with each other
for the raw material. It is predicted,
however, that the demand for wool will
be steadier than it was last year when
speculation was rife and the buyers out
here were busily engaged in "scooping"
each other.
THE prospects of fair prices for wool
iontinue to improve. Accordog to the
Itradstreets' "the stocks of wool in the
various markets are becoming very much
brokeo, and the natural consequence is
msen in firmer prices, though the demand
snot extraordinary. The supplies of
tesirable wool, in fact, are greatly re
Iuced, and from present indicatio"s the
tew clip will come forward at full values.
Purchasers of considerable amounts of
naterlal have been made at Boston and
here is a fair demand in this city and
'hiladelphia. It is nevertheless-true that
iuch woolen machinery is idle and the
nanufacturing outlook is discouraging,
rhe heavy rains have hindered shearing
n Texas. At San Francisco competition
or all desirable selections is active. Fine
aeoes are a fraction higher in the Bos
on market and pulled wools are doing
miter."
lDrapery Silks julst in at Joe Conrad's.
DBMOCRACY AND SI VFER.
Mr. Leach, the director of the Mint, d
gives some interesting facts relative to O
Montana's great staple, silver. He says h
in his report that the total amount of sil
ver purchased for the coinage of the sli- I
ver dollar from March 1, 1878, to Decem- p
ber 31, 1889, was 271,682,508 fine ounces, A
costing $291,470,956, and average cost of y
$1.08.18 per ounce fine. The coinage of c
silver dollars for the same period was tl
889,988,001 pieces. At the average cost ,
of silver for the whole period the cost c
value of the silver dollar is Q2 cents. The
average price of silver in London during
the calendar year was 98.5 cents per fine
ounces, and the average price of fine bars
of silver In New York during the same 1
period was 98.6 cents. The highest price
reached during the year was 44% pence,
and the lowest price was 41 15 16 pence. °
The shipments of silver to India during
the year aggregated $40,000,000, and the
amount realized from the sale of Indian
council bills about $77,000,000.
The disbursement of this large sum- t
$8891,470,950-among the silver producers
of the United Sttes "s due to -the Bland
bill, which was brought in by a democrat
and passed by a democratic house.
Democrats freely concets that some re
publicans aided in passing the
Bland bill and in keeping
its provisions intact. They deny
distinctly the assertion that the rise in
silver is due to the republican congress
and the republican administration. Were
it not for the Bland bill silrve would be
a drug in the world's markets. It would
never have received the consideration
which French and British bi-metalists
now accord it. Bismarck's gold policy
would have had full play and our silver
would have been sent abroad at low
prices to enrich India and other silver
standard countries.
As might be expected the Herald de
clines to approve the Independent's pro
posal that a new election of representa
1 tives be held in Silver Bow county. Since
the recent election for mayor the Herald
keeps shy of an appeal to the people. It
says:
If the Independent is waiting to hear
oAr--.vaee-,u dow "oodtra
might as well prepare to wait a ong
time. Men whose title has been pro
nounced good by the highest authority
would be very simple indeed to humor
an opponent by resigning. Whether or
not the five from Silver Bow resign is
a not even a matter of the slightest import
ance. Our supreme court and the United
States senate, the best and highest au
t thority in the country, hold the certifi
Scates of the state returning board as the
best legal title to these seats,till the house
decides for itself.
The Herald may yet have reason to be
thankful for the democratic offer. If
the democrats acquire control of the sen
ate at the coming election, we hope that
the senate will recognize only the lawful
members returned from Silver Bow
county. It will not, we trust, recognize
for a moment Bray and the other four
who were not elected.
A republican lawyer said to us the
other day that the Silver Bow canvassing
board had no right to throw out the votes
of Precinct 84. Yet the only claim that
fraudulent five have is based upon the re
jection of these votes. When the rest 1
of Montana, following the example of
Helena, Butte, Missoula and Anaconda,
rebukes the Silver Bow fraud, the Herald
and the party it represents will find that
the technicality on which it relies is £
weak and profitless. There is a limit to
the public patience as the Herald will
2nd out.
OUR northern neighbors are showing
signs of progress. The territorial bill
wLich the Canadian parliament is pass
ing will give them home rule. The Cal
gary and Edmonton railway will no
doubt be built soon. The premier, Sir
John MacDonald, proposes that it shall
be guaranteed $8,000 oer year for 20
years as compensation for carrying
soldiers and supplies. The proposal will,
of course, be approved by parliament.The
surveyors have begun to locate the line
as far as McLeod. In Alberta horse
breeding continues to receive attention.
J. T. Routledge recently brought there
from England a stallion and two mares,
all thoroughbreds. He also brought 12
young dogs, ten deer hounds and two
setters. When the Great Falls and Can
ada railroad connects all this northern
region with Montana its progress will be
still more rapid.
THn republican caucus decided to take
up the consideration of the McKinley
tariff bill at once and today the debate be.
gins in the house. The majority is evi
dently not anxious to discuss the subject
so they propose to limit the debate. The
program agreed upon is as follows: The
general debate goes on for four days with
a night session for speeches. Eight days
additional will then be allowed for the
consideration of the bill by paragraphs
under the five-minmute rule. May 21, the
previous question on the final passage of I
of the bill is to be considered ordered by
the terms of the special rule to te
adopted.
Txaz Board of Trade should act prompt
ly and energeticly in the matter of se
curing a government building, while
Congressman Carter and our fraudulent
senators are in a humor to exert them
selves In our behalf. As the terminus of
the railroad connecting Montana with
Canada, Great Falls is the natural head
quarters of the customs district and it is t
here the permanent custom house should
be ereoted,
HeENA Is full of surprises. There
was the Board of Trade laid away with
due honor, the other day. The chamber
of commerce became administrator and
heir. Thusday evening there was a
transformation scene. The Board of
Trade walked forth, smiling and took its
place again among the city lnstitutions.
All at once under the guidance of Major
Walker the board called for the free
coinage of silver and made it manifest
t that at was decidedly alive. There is
room and work enough for all such asso
t ciations.
Tue council was not courteous to May
or Dickerman last evening in refusing to
confirm 'is appointment for marshal.
SThe mayor stated that he knew George
e Treat Intimately and could recommend
him as an honorable, intelligent, trusty
man who would do his duty under any
circumstance, but the board refused to
accept that assurance and the nomination
was rejected by a vote of 5 to 2. Alder
men Gerin and Bridges voted in favor of
the confirmation. They are both demo
crate. All of the mayor's party friends
deserted him.
t S oATou BEusKE of Dawson coutnty is
about to take up his residence in Wash
ington, having accepted a position on the
e Hunt railway system in that state. His
g departure from the state will create a va
y cancy in the senate. There will-be no
° necessity of electing a successor to Mr.
e Becker unless a special session of the
a legislature is called, and that isa very
*e unlikely event.
