The Chicago managers decided to invite a large num ber of individuals and corporations, and sent out a circular to Mr. Hill, among others, requesting him to contribute $25, 000. It is said that Mr. Hill thought the Chicago men had exhibited an unusual amount of gall, but he made no objection and subscribed the amount.-Pioneer Press. The Mines of Montana. Assessments and Indebtedness of Cascade County. More About the Consolidation of the Union Pacific. William Jack Gives Facts About the Tunnel Precinct. Montana Mines. A well known mining ?sate was asked yesterday what was the outlook for the future of Montana's chie Eindustry, min ing. He said the prospect was never brighter. It was owing a great deal to the indifference of Montanians themselv es that many good paying mines were not being operated at the present time. Human nature is everywhere alike. Dis tance lends enchantment to the view here as well as elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested in the Caeur d' Alenes by our people in no better prospects than can be found in half a dozen districts within short dis tances of Helena that could be named. In fact the ore here was of a much high er grade. In the Coeur d' Alenes and other parts of Idaho, Montana purchasers think noth ing of putting in a hundred thousand dollars to develop a mire and nearly as much more for concentrating, machinery. The same money invested in the same wsy in this state would produce better results. He, himself, had put a great deal of money in to Idaho property and it was a good investment, but, still, his greatest holdings were in Montana. The chances are that the best mines of Mon tana will all go to strangers. We never thought muck of our real estate till most of it had been corraled. Then, when we couldn't get it we have gone around tell ing how much land we could have taken up for nothing at all, if we had just known. But we didn'* know. Mines are wanted; purchasers are in the field, ready and willing to buy; but home capital is loth to take hold. Give us a mine up in Alaska or in the interior of Africa and we are your huckleberry, but don't say a word about Montana mines; ha! ha! We know all about them. That is what the average Hlelenian thinks, but in reality he knows absolutely nothing about the mines of his own state. Of course, there are a number of thorough-going mining men here, who are not slow to get on to a good thing and that is just where the trouble lies; there are so many really first class propositions, on a paying basis, that can be secured at low figures, that it is not deemed worth while to invest in a property that requires the expenditure of much money to put it in s,". pe. Unt the day is fast approaching iahe. this will all be changed and ,rtotri.cts widht are soe8.ely mentioned now will then as sume an importance in the mining world second to none.--Independent. telena Correspondence. Mr. William Jack, an old time and highly respected merchant of Butte, thus expresses himself in an interview: The election at Tunnel precinct No. 84 was conducted in a most outrageous manner. Affidavits from nearly twenty republicans who had voted the straight repullican ticket have been obtained, and more could have been precured, but for the fact that the Big Four through the Northern Pacific railroad spirited them off directly after the election. Then the democrats, by purchasing judges of election, canvassed the votes secretly and without a precedent of law. It was fully equal to the ballot box stuffing which has so long disgraced the south. J. K. Toole now goes back on his pro clamation and tries to squirm out of it after a fashion better adapted to a seven year old boy who wants to escape awhip ping than to a governer of a great state. IIELEN1, Dec. 18. The Union Pacific. Under the new consolidation, the Union Pacific gives indications of pursuing a vigorous and aggressive policy. It will construct new branch lines in a number of places, contract for one of which, from La Grande to Elgin, is already let. There seems little doubt that it will build from Portland to Puget sound next year, be ginning early in the spring. The line will run by way of Vancouver and paral lel the Northern Pacific line a few miles to the eastward. It will probably reach Commencement bay opposite Tacoma in stead of entering that city and will fol low the shore of the sound to Seattle, where it will make close and friendly econnections with railroads there. This will shorten the distance between Seattle and Portland by rail fully forty miles. West Shore. Cascade County Assessments.

Here is something, taken from the San Francisco Mining Review, which may be of interest to miners who cannot readily command the survices of an assayer. It is given as the rule usually followed to find the amount of gold in a piece of quartz without an assay: First weigh the quartz dry. Then weigh in water, the quartz suspended by a thread. Next divide the dry weight by the difference between wet and dry (adding decimals if necessary). Subtract from this resultthe weight of quartz (usually 260 or 261 for free gold, but 265 to 270 if filled with sulphurites). Multiply this result by the weight of gold, viz: 128. Then multiply this amount by the result of subtraction of wet from dry. The result will be, Ofter patnting off all decimals that have been addea, th. o*.act weight in gold. North western Nuggeti. The senate committee on territories will tomorrow report favorably Senator Pierce's bill to apportionate $15,000 to re imburse North Dakota for holding the constitutional convention.

Delegates Dubois and Carey and other gentlemen from the territories will argue for admission.--Independent, Dec. 17. Clasped Hlands. There was indeed an effecting scene this week when the click of electricity announced the fact that old Jeff Davis had passed over the eternal range. The scene was between a southerner and a northerner and both of them were men who had grown to manhood since the re bellion. They clasped hands and thank ed God for the taking off of a man who was the cause of making so many thou sand hearts ache and bleed to satiate the cravings of an ambition. Both looked each other in the eyes and similtaneously uttered in a mournful voice "God bless tie memory of Abraham Lincoln."--Red Lodge Picket. Ladies' fine silk mitts at Joe Conrad's. Xmas! Xmas!
