The engrossing question in San Francisco
putside of earthquakes , U that of railroad
competition Tbo metropolis of the Gotdon
Gate Is hemmed in by ono corporation. It is
nt the morjy of the Southern Pacific com
pany , which controls north , east and south
ern lines livery pound of Irelcht nnd every
traveler to or from the metropolis must pay
trlbutn to this colossal corporation Num
erous efforts have boon made In the past to
fchako off the commercial shackles. All re-
ullod not only In failure but disaster to
uch of the participants ns were ongngcd In
trade beyond tbo city. Uf Into , however ,
merchants and capitalists have been driwn
togothcr bv Iho organization of a freight
bureau. Independence and unity are gradu
ally displacing fear. Vigorous efforts nro
now being made to eocuro n competing line ,
1-1,000,000 having been subscribed tor that
purpose.
Tbo project will meet with tremendous
opposition , as the picsont company occu
pies almost every inlet to the city ,
possesses unlimited means nnd practically
controls both the law making und law-
enforcing powers. The projectors possess
lunlclont mentis to mnko n light. Thhty
wealthy persons are Inteirstcd and hnvo de
clared that the matter will not bo allowed to
languish. Their nnmes uro sufllclent ovl-
dO'ico that the enterprise Is genuine. The
lowest subscription was for I.TO.IHIU. It is
not Iho intention to sell any stock whatever.
About 515 000,000 In bonds will bo raised ,
and < huro never has been any fear that ihero
will bo anv trouble In placing these bonds ,
ticcausu the assurance has already been

Tha norlnern pan of Big Horn mountains
And adjacent countiy in Wyoming has re
ceived tlio uamo of Sheridan county. This
tract of lund , altualod in Iho cculer of u vtist
urea of non-agricultural , but good gracing
countt v , has < well earned the title of being
the garden of Wyoming.
Fifty miles in length bv thirty in breadth ,
this country Is traversed by numerous laigu
sized mountain at i cams , How Ing through
wide fcitllu volleys , whllo thousnr.ds of ucirs
of rich soil , on upper bcncnos , await the di.
version of wnter from some stiunm , to fur
nish the fanner with u homo where ho is as-
tureil a most abundant nnd never failing
crop. In marked distinction lo a vast purl of
the agricultural laud in tbo countij , the
farmci in this icgiou tins the advantage of n
first class nnd very cheap fuel. Coul of ex
cellent quality for domestic purposes is
found in ull Ibo bluffs , and at numerous
mines Ibis can bo hud at ? 1 per ton , or lor
nothing , should the farmer choose to mlno
the co l himsolf.
To ono who bus traveled much elsewhere
in tbo west this section of country comes
like u revelation nature bus done her ut
most bcro for Iho granger und soon thou
sands of prosperous farms will bo cultivated
in this favored region. An unusually intelli
gent and well-to-do class of pooplr came to
this country Ion years ago , and , ihough 130
miles from nny rnllioaO , the country on ac
count of natural resources alone developed
into ihcmodt fruitful region of Wyomlnir ,
Iilo its capabilities have as yet been hardly
touched.
Sovorul towns were started on the out
skirls of this farming region , but finally by
natuial selection Iho county seat was cstab
lishetl In tbo center of the agricultural dis
trlct nnd toduy command ; , , as it alvvavs will ,
the buslncs of thu county. Already
u luigo number of brick buildings have
been oiectcd in Sheridan , the county seat ,
munv churches , school houses , ( louring mills ,
lunihnr ynids , a brewery , two newspapers ,
nn cxpcilincntal station aud numerous other
enter puses nuvo boon ostublishod , and the
town can hardly bo sold to tinvo developed
commrnsurntowlln the farming renion.
Sheridan , situated nt the junction of two
Inrgo n.ounlulu streams of pure wntor , with
j oed roads In every duoctlon , loading to
fertile valleys nnd iu the center of the
largest continuous boav of Irrigable land ,
commands bv Us position so thoroughlly the
tmiinuss of this rich country that railroads
etuutlng this region would seoklo plnca their
line wlieio bheridnn now stuuds as
being Iho key lo the trade of tbo country
von though no town had as yet
bonn stalled at this point. Tbo folly of
building railroads on tlio outskirts of the
richest lands in nny community Is seldom
committed ut this late day , Competition
quickly comes In uny good country , und the
road most conveniently established or placed
( or business seourts the trado. The Burling
ton route has now approached within llfty
Billet of the town , and a largn force of grud-
era in o ut work on the mum line passing
through Shorldnn , boon ether railroads ,
kirtiug the eastern slope of the Big Horn
" " mountains us they do the eastern slope of thu
Kocky mountains in Colorado , will also roach
the town , nnd bhorldnn , lapfdly increasing
In wealth and population at tlio present Hum ,
bids fair to goon bccomo a city of fiom 5.00U
to 10,000 people.
Mining In tuo adjacent Ble Horn moun
tains has lately received considerable atten
tion nnd Is adding greatly to the business of
Eburiduu.
K As a grow lap , prosperous country , with n
brilliant future before it , bheridan offers uu-
urimscd opportunities for business men ,
IThlln the surrounding country oilers to the
granger advantages koldom found in one
locality , In no part of tlio United States
tins nature boon BO lavish with her gifts.
Extreme heat In tbo summer is tempered by
Hie cool ulr from thu mountains , whllo in
ivintot the warm chlnook trade winds from
Iho Pncillo coast give n much morediillehtful
tllmuto thun the country for hundreds of
miles to the south.
As a stock raising couniry , beet from thin
lection commands the blghcut price In the
Chicago market , and during tbo past winter ,
considered severe for this country , Iho writer
baa been uhlu to secure pilmo bout from the
range at any time. Seeing Is believing. The
people of Sheridan cordially invite the most
skeptical to examine her resources , feeling
usnrfd that the unanimous verdict would
be tb.it It was no wonder Ibo Indian , ns well
kt ibj white man , had selected this fertile
tountryaa being the most fruitful to bo
found for his uoeds.

In the production of freaks of nature , as In
[ ircoious metals and gems galore , Montana
ceases to ho a nondor. She is n corker. Sbo
alone and unapproachable. She towers
nbovo her nolghoors like a Shasta , sipping
nectar tn altitudes others know not. Tbo
[ irogrosilvo quality of her natural resources
might Justly excite amazement If not nrouso
n faint glimmer of doubt. If you entertain
Joubt of her capabilities , keep beyond her
borders. To doubt within her bounds Is
treason treason means involuntary sulcido.
\Vo hnvo said Montana's natural resources
were progressive. This Is not idle assertion.
Proof Is at hand. Not long BRO a tenderfeet

and bepon work. In n few weeks she
smote the tenderfoot and tnnglofoot with
ono blow. Whllo digging In the Oold Bug
mine near Chinook a utroam of water was
tapped which , wo are told , "cures the tnsto
of lltjuor. " It WHS named the "Hlohlorldc of
Gold spring. " Thus nature , ovoi-indulKcnt
thereabouts , springs to the relief of the resi
dents.
A short distance from Silver 13ow Junction ,
on the road to Anaconda and nestling at the
base of the foothills , uro the "Chicken Uroth
Springs. " It Is related tbAthon Marcus

out for Butte nnd dug n fortune In a few
\cars. The springs How merrily on , attract
ing \tsltors fiom Inr and wide , but natutc

Nature thus ptovldos mountains with a

Tbo solo of the Spratt brothers' sapphire
land near Helena to the Sapphire and Ruby
company of Montana was consummated.
About a month ago A. N. Spratt loft Helena
for London. Later ho was Joined there by
J. B. Clay berg , who has Deon the attorney for
the Spratt brothers during the negotiations.
The price ugreod upon for tno ground is
fi.OOU.OOO , one-half of which is to ho in cash
nnd the rest in fully paid up shares. The
company is stocked for -50-400 ! , in shares of
JLl each. The property which originally
ligured in tha negotiations comprised nbout
1,1)00 ) actcs , but this is ubout one-halt of
w bat tuo consummated deal includes , ntdo-
lade bar , containing 1.5SJ neres of
patented land , the most thoroughly prospected
pocted of all the com lands , was the
nucleus and to it has been added gem-bear
ing ground , malting a total of 8,000 acres on
both siaes. of the Missouri rl\or , nnd extend
ing a distance of 110,11 Iv llftcen miles. In
addition the company has acquired by lease
or purchase all the water righu in the dis
trict. Tno plans of the company are well
matured , and active operations will com
mence at once.
1'ho story of the development of the ruby
mlno in Montana Is not a new one. When it
was first printed it caused a good deal of
flutter among the Jeweler : > of the cast. Tbo
character of tbo stones found was announced
u 1838 , out no prospecting-was aono until
the summer of IfeOo. Tno first find , howo\er ,
was twenty > ears ago , and this was by the
placer mincis. A few of the stones were
shown as curiosities , but the bulk was
thtown away with the tailings as worthless.
Gold was the sought-for treasure in these ,
days , and so high was the fever on that
proclous metal that bad the old placer minors
accidentally turned up a diamond tboy
would not have stopped to consider its value
over that of the " .yellow boy , " which they
had gone miles to discover.
The attention of experts in London , Now
York , and Chicago was directed to some of
the stones from these mines and they were
pronounced Identical with the Oriental sap-
phlto , emerald , ruby and topaz. Their color
was not so deep ns the lattoi , but in point of
brilliancy they were declared to ho up to the
standard. The niont numerouMy discovered
stone thus for Is the sapphire , % nryinp in
color from H light to n corn ( lower hluo. The
nevt in quantity is the emerald. Then fol
