Montanlans do not admit , sas n Helena correspondent of the Buffalo Uv.- prcss , that thcro Is moro gold In the region of the Arctic than thcro woo In Montana then , or Is hero now , for the matter of th.it ; but they realise that with better facilities for the promulgation of news , with tbo machinery of the great Journals of today all umplocd In gathering Information about the moro recent Iliul , with Industrial conditions such that the people nro readier to listen to I , the story of gold and quiche ) to leave their i everyday pursuits to follow the Ignis fatuus [ that is now so closely related to the mid j night sun , there Is n ready explanation for I the tush to the Klondike gold flclda that nt the same tlmo explains why the- wonderful productiveness of the Montana gold region did not , thirty ) ears ago , appeal to the ! pilgrim as do the much Icsd practical , and ! not any richer , gold fields of the north to-1 day.
