BKLENA, MONTANA.
ltter from An Old Plochrr.
A number of those who left this place
during the past few years have located
in the northern country and others think
of traveling in that direction. One of
our old townsmen who is now engaged in
business in Helena, Montana, writes:
"Have had many inquiries regarding
Helena, and wish you would allow space,
enough in the Record to say that Hel
ena is a growing and prosperous city.
Any one coining here with sufficient
means to buy a house and lot must
eventually succeed. At present there
are a dozen men to every single situation,
but a good man can always find a place.
Furnace hands receive from $2 25 to $4
per day; men on railroads, and street and
sewer improvements receive $2 per day.
Goods are nearly as high as in Pioche.
No one coming here in Summer and be
coming acclimated need fear the cold, as
40 deg. below zero here is not as pene
trating as 10 deg. would be in Pioche.
Property is held stiff. You cannot buy
a desirable lot for less than $1,500 and
it takes $500 to buy one, three-fourths of
a mile from the Court House. Carpen
ters get $4 per day, stonemasons $4 50
and bricklayers from $5 to $0. Bricks
are worth $9 and lumber $21 per thous
and. Any kind of a house brings $20
per month rent and a store on Main St.,
of 20 foot front, cannot be had for less
than $175 per month."

tion bill was defeated in the Senate, on
ly eight Senators voting for it. These
were Boyle, Comins, Dunlop, Forbes,
Gallagher, Millett, Sproule and Wil
liams. The Elko Independent expresses
the sentiment of the great majority of
the best people of the State by saying
"The age of consent should be raised
from 12 to at least 1G years, and we are
at loss to know how any man who has a
daughter or a sister could object to any
such a measure."
Attention was called in the New
Mexico Legislature Monday to the fact
that the Sheriff of Grant county was al
lowed four horses and charged for ten
days, an aggregate mileage of 21,080
miles, or more than 500 miles a day for
each horse. ' The account was sworn to
and the Court approved the same. This
is sufficient proof that New Mexico is
the place to raise fast horses that can
average 500 miles a day for ten days.

dence of H. Jacobs on Tuesday next.
