Pulse of Western Progress.
Tiia cxuimtmtlon of the La Plata mountains
by 1'iof. I/ikr.s was an excellent thing fur
that district. IIIA report Miowcd that the
country IK a promlilug mineral region and
that Intelligent prospecting , followed by sys-
tor.ja'lc and thorough development , would
open up mlncit of great value , r.vcr slnca
that report was made thcro ha been a better
feeling In regard to the 1s\ Plata * , and It
may be expected that the near future will
bo marked by A nolablo Increcpo In work.
These mountains arc fltuutud near the
snuthwcBlcin eorncr of the state , In the
vicinity of Durnugo and near tLo headwaters -
waters of the Muneos and La Plata rivers.
La Plata City , which U near thn center of
the district , U dbout nine mllcr from Hesperus -
porus , a station on tha Rln Grande South-
cm rallro.id. It U about twenty-two miles
from Dnranso. Them are suvuial dlflercnt
locp.llth'3 , Koine of which nrn reached from
one railroad stnlton and eome from another.
Tim region around La Plata City Is reached
from Hesperus. The Knst and W st Mnircot
U mniu acceusible from the tntlon called
Mataoa , whllo McQulety , Llghtncr Creek
nd Oio Flno arc best ioacha'1 from lu-
rangn. The La Plnta Minor of the ! lth Inst.
has an txtenalvc description of the district ,
giving Its many dlffotcnt cimpsi special ,
mention , It is a commendable presentation
of thu ulalm.i of the La 1'latati to thu favor
able consideration of mining men. It
nhowR th.it the district Is well worth atten
tion , end thus It form : a valuable supple
ment to Prof. LnlcV report. It sucma that
one tlouble about the Lu 1'liU country Is
that It has not been systematically 01 thor
oughly mined. I'ronucctoio have run over
It and claims have been located , but there
has been little work to really show thu
character of the country. This requires
money , ( iml men may hesitate nbout risking
niiieh in a locality which lus not really' '
proved Itself to be of great value by the pro
duction of n laigf amount of-mineral or the
opening of high grade leads near tbo sur
face , lint it may be counted upon that thlu
will bo changed In the near future.

YIELDS A PROFIT AT 45 CENTS.
Though the East Pacific mine , near Win
ston , owned by Robert A. Hull of this city ,
la primarily a gold proposition , the ore.
particularly In thn lower workings , carries
a. largo per cent of silver , and the price i f
the white mtal makes a considerable dif
ference In the prollts of the property , saya
the Helena Independent. Mr. Flell was In
the city the other day and he said that If sil
ver had been ? l an ounce while he hs been j
operating the pioperty , n little more than I
a year he would today have JGO.OOO moro
in the bank than he hay. "The drop In sil
ver In the last sixty days , " ho said , !
"means u loss to uio of about $1,800. u. ;
month. However , I am going to contlnuo
to operate the pioperty for sixty days more , I
or at least until sliver gets to 15 cents an ]
ounce. Lower than that I ulll not sell the
ore bei-iuise it means the wasting of too
much of It. I now have about flfty men ;
working on the property , and In addition i
there are fifty men leasing , so there is a' '
force of 100 men awork. . " Active work Is ,
now being done on tunnel No. 4 , and from ;
the appearance of things a few feet more
will strike the vein. When the tunnel Is ' .
driven In tbo full length It will be 1,300 feet
hclow the surface. The plan Is now to drive '
It In about 2COO feet. If no more ore bodies |
should be uncovered , there Is now In sight' '
suindcnt 'ore to run the property for two ]
years at Its present output. Hut If the ora' '
comes In No. ! tunnel that time will be con-1
slderably added to. As Illustrating the nar
row margins by which men engaged In min
ing make and lose fortunes , the I3ast Pacific
Is a good example. When Mr. Hell took hold ;
of the property the former owners were of j
the opinion that they had about worked the
property out. They had lost the vein , ana
after spei-dlng several years trying to locata
U , they sold to Mr. Dell. Hn had an Idea
that the search for the vein had not been
carried on In the right direction , and ho ra.it
a cross-cut In an exactly opposite direction'
trom that In which the former owners hail
piosccuted their search. Ho struck it at ono
place within thirteen feet of where the olil t
owners had been working. Then he ran
cross-cuts ut Intervals all along , and In
every ono of them ho caught the vein. All ,
or nearly all , of this ore has yet to bu
etopcd. The Knst Pacific ; not only runs high
In gold ami silver , but also carries a con
siderable body of lead. The advance in the
price of lead makes up tu some extent for
the depreciation In silver , but docs not equal
the decline In the white metal. Some Den
ver experts recently said It did , but such la
not the fact , according to Mr. Hell's ex- j
perlcnee. The 13ast Pacific Is one of the
good mines of the state , and the fame it
achieved a number of years ago as a fo-- :
tune maker for Its owners Is being dupli
cated. Hut If silver was as high now as It
was when the mine was first operated , It
would reltirn a greater net profit than ever
before In its history.
COLORADO WHEAT AND RAILROADS.
This year's wheat crop In Colorado la es
timated at 5,000,000 bushels , says thu Dower
News , Last year the crop was estimated at
3,6000,000 bushels. For many years prior It
has ranged from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 bushels ,
The Btato needs for Us own consumption
about 2,500,00 buubels , not above 3,000,00q
bushels at the meet. Allowing for overes
timates , for the harvesting season Is not
nearly completed , there ehould bu In the
oUto somewhere from 1,000,000 to 2.000,000
bushels of wheat for export. There Is a de
mand for every bushel of this wheat If It
can be got to tidewater at Galvcston , Its
export means that a sum of increy , which
may bo stated anywhere from $720.000 to
$2,000,000 , will bo placed In the packets
of Colorado wheat growers. It Is the duty
of the railroads teaching the gulf ports to
make such a rate on this wheat that It
can bu placed at tidewater , where It can
QJO exported to Europe. Their explanation
that no offers of wheat In bulk have becrt
made Is undoubtedly correct. With the ex
ception of what Is called the "millers' com-
biie , " thcro are no Jilg wheat buying , wheat
shipping concerns In the stato. It Is the
flret year that Colorado baa ever had any
such quantities of wheat for export , also thu
first year that the market was In such a
condition that Colorado wheat could bu ex
ported with protlt. It Is In the Interest of
the llni't reaching the gulf ports that thU
wheat bo turned Into cash , Tha transporta
tion will make business for their roads. The
distribution of from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000
among Colorado firmer. } will also be to
thrlr Interest , for mcney In the pockeU
of the people always means more travel
uid more general traffic for the railroads.
The Denver Chamber of Commerce could
not do a moro enterprising or remunerative
not than to assist In iperfectlng arrangement *
for the export of every bushel of surplim
wheat In the state. The larger the volume
of our exports the more money tn circulation ,
iid Consequently the moro trade among ill
clieuej of merchants ,
MONTANA'S SAPPHIRE MINES.
The country or strip of mineral land known
" Una Yo < o district , In which the
dp. litre mln s owned by English and local
capital are located , has yielded up a viluiblc
vein of corundum or emery , which Is the first
deposit of the kind ever found in any quan
tity on American soil. The deposit has
been examined by Prof. William Ramsey ,
professor of chemistry In the University of
London , and by him pronounced the genuine
product. The vtln was struck at the 100-
foot level , and already several yards have
been excavated. Tbn further the drift goes
the better becomes thu quality of the prod
uct. The vein already struck varies from
ten to fifty feet wide , and therein Is found
the htst quality of HApphlrcn yet discovered
In the district. At the uO-foot level the
formation sccmn to bo a sort of talc with
sratiiH of crystallizedcorundum. . Lower
the formation grows harder Into an Imi'mru
form of corundum , run ) at the 100-foot level
In a stratum of pure emery. AH commercial
emery In found In but few parts of the world ,
the dlscinery In a valuable ono and may
piovo of greater profit than the sapphire dig.
Kings. Thu American market oners $25 to
$150 a ton for emery pure. Within the next
munth UcurRo A. Wells , ono of thu prin
cipal stockholders In the sapphlrn fields , will
stort for London with a unuill box contain
ing about l.SOO caiats of the gums , which
will bb cut and nuikcted there. The de-
mind for HID Montana gems Is dally In
creasing , nnd hardly a week passes without

The Homestako iMInlng company at Dcart-
wood oiv September 2 made the largest clean
up of gold in Us history for a like period ot j
time , viz : fifteen clays. Eight large bricks |
of bullion were rellricd and shipped to the i
subtreasury at New York. They were '
valued at $190.000 , about $20,000 moro than '
the value of any previous semi-monthly j
clean-up. This increase was occasioned by
the enlarged capacity of the company mlllb ,
whllo It Is also understood the ere Is im
proving in grade. At this rate the output
for the present mouth will bo $3SO,000 , 01-
$4CGO.OOO yearly. It has been given out
that the future clean-ups will equal the lasv
one , and It has been estimated that the an
nual product will be at least $1,000,000 h.
excess of any previous year.

The grain harvest Is now under full head
way , and the various ranches east and north
of Palmer lake report the best crop of oats
over grown In the vicinity , both as regards
quantity and quality. Potatoes are an aver

the vicinity of La Porte , where hall fell for
two hours , there are largo tracts of growing
onion ? , and these were mown to the ground
by the driving storm of hall and filled the

condition of the markets Is very good , It Is
not as profitable to run small herds as It has
been , owing to diminishing rangei and In
creased cost ot caring for them In tbo winter.
The most damaging flood In the history ot
