Po.toftlee of Boulder Valley, Montan a Territory, an ,tv.tial-claaa mail matter. THE mils for the admission of Da- kota, Montana, and Washington Ter- ritories as States of the Union will be considered in the Senate to -morrow under special orders'. '_It is to be hoped that the justice nf the measures will be so clear kith(' great majority of the members that there will be * no doubt of their final passage.' BOOMI • • • `. Boulder and Jefferson county can hardly be said to have had a fair show in the general development of the Territory in the -past few years, and -loth town and county are compara- tively unkbown to a large proportion even of the people of Montana, the county frequently being regarded as of no moment whatever in business or other circles. This twilit is partly due to the lack of enterprise oh the part of the citizens of town and county, and partly to what seems to be a persistent effort on the part of some ,of the cotinty's neighbors to depreciate her resources and to prevent as far as possible the introduCtion of foreign capital and the examination of min-_ eral riches of the county yet Undevel- oped. The following alleged Helena correspondence of the Livingston En- terpride . May indicate to some extent the way in which this is accomplished: \It may be said that Helena people, like the teledeope on Mount Helena and in the watch -tower, are gauged to see nothing beyond our city. It is true our people discourage the devel- opment of any locality that can not be made directly tributary to Helena by withholding capital that must come from our Territory to successfully work mines of those districts. Some of the more enterprising citizens have gone farther and bonded mines during the season that they might be worked; only to forfeit them on the flimsy pre- text that they were not so rich as represented. , This not only retards development, but 'gives the camp a black eye,' on account of the recog- nized authority of these men as to what constitutes a paying mine. You will thus see that we are alive to tile interests of Helena.\ , That the resources • of Jefferson county are unknown to the majority of men more or lees familiar with other parta of the Territory is evident to any one who travels around a Coming from Livingston to Helena Saturday night, the editor of THE AGE met an old friend who inquired of his present location, business, etc. Far- ther inquiry as to. ,the location of Boulder and the resources of Jef- ferson county drew from the, editor a brief statement of the thousands of mineral locatione recorded in the county, of the extensive and prosper- ous fanning and stock -raising sections, of - the quantities of wood ready to supply Butte with fuel, of the several railroads in progress and in prospect, of the mines in succeasffil operation and the many promising prospecte only awaiting development, and ofall the varied and rich resources of town and county. \All this is a revelation to me,\ said the getalentan; \I will certainly make a visit to your county before long.\ Again, at the Helena depot Sunday morning was met an acquaintance who travels for a Chicago mercantile establishment. After the usual greetings and inquiries, the gen- tleman remarked that he never came to Boulder as there was only one house carrying his line.« goods. He was very much astonished when told there were four or five, and he said he wonld call on his next trip. Such incidents as these are sufficient evidence that the town and county are misrepresented by parties who want to hold this entire country in vassal - ,age to Heletui or who desire to keep .its riches undeveloped in order that they may the more easily come in and lay hold of rich a prize. But the people of town and county have very many of them shown neglect or indif- ference in the matter of properly ad- vertising the resources of the country, and they are largely responsible for the present condition of affairs. Of course there are some who think they are better off without increase in pop- ulation,_or development of the country, and holding such views they can not be blamed fir discouraging the pres- entation to the genere publiç ot the advantages of Boulder and' Jefferson county $encrally as a place of resi- idence and fur 'the investment of cap- ital. But the majority of people do not helieve-in_auch ancient ideas,- and if they would but carry into effect their faith in the good results of boom- ing the country there would soon be-a vast difference in the appearance as well as the reputation of Jefferson county. Still, to boom the country, to bring in more people, to induce cap- ital to come here, requires some ad- vertising, and advertising which is ef- fective and of real advantage costs money, and many persons, rather than pay their small proportion of the cost of advertising, will sit still and com- plain of what others' do or fail to do and so complaining see the star of em- pire pasothem by. A few such men may be found in every community, evett the most enterprising. If they predominate, the country has little hope of advancement. Jefferson county can get out of the darkness and into the light if her peo- ple really wish it. Helena, nor Butte, nor any, other collection of men on the face of the earth, can prevent her ris- ing if her own citizens say she must and shall rise, and act accordingly. Her prosperity and her advancement lies with them, and it is to be hoped that they will see to it that she stands in the front rank of the civil divisions of Montana. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. MINING NEWS. Dr. Pancoast, of - Philadelphia, pres- ident of the Penn Placer Mining Com- pany, Basin, was baquetted in Helena the other day by the medical fraternity of that city. Capt. Northrup and Pat Scallon are sinking a twenty -five-foot shaft on the Si. Paul, in the Whitehall district. It ia down about twelve feet and the vein shows steady improvement in quantity and quality of ore as the shaft, goes deeper. • There is considerable excitement in mining platters in the Lowland dis- trict, above Calvin's. Numerous lo- cations are being made and quite a number of lodes are changing hands, Butte parties being the principal pur- chasers. Berry Miller wee in town yesterday and reported the Keyweet, near Calvin,, as showing up very well. The vein is from five to eight feet wide and the ore assays as high as sixty-five percent of lead and 300 ounces of silver. Two men are employed in developing. W. H. - Gummersell, of St. Louis, was in town Saturday and renewed his bond on the Bullion lode, in Overland gulch, owned by County Treasurer Berendes and others. He was unable to develop the mine last year for var- ious reasons, and his bond is extended to November let next. Jerry Smith took a load of supplies s ietterday to his placer claim on the Little Boulder, where he has had three men at work for the past month. They have not made rapid progress, as there are spots where the frost is hardly out of the ground. The claim is rather high up in the mountains. In sending his subscription to THE AGE, Mr. Geo....Platt. says: \I like THE AGE -better for its mining news than any other paper in the Territory. It is ,first-rate. Every miner in the Territory should have it\ Thanks. The constant effort of the proprietor 4411-be to -impre4-Ute paper in this respect especiallyeb,nd he truste the mining men in the county will lend their very necessary assistance to the furthering of this object. BASE-BALL.. The practice in base-ball playing has 'naturally resulted in some set con- tests, and last Sunday afternoon a match game was played on the Boulder grounds between a nine from Pierce's saw -mill and a Boulder nine. The game was quite interesting and was witnessed by a goodly number of peo- ple! Only eight innings were played, the rain cutting the game short. Ferd. S.' Wolpert furnishes the following score of the game: ISpeeial Dispatch to Te Arm] Livmorroo, May 19.—The Repub-: lican Territorial Convention was called to order at noon to -day by Col. .1—D.- McCutcheon, Chairman of the Terri- torial Central Committee. There was a fair representation. Considerable interest and enthusiasm was shown. John Potter, of Gallatin, was elected temporary chairman and George Bourquin, of Silver Bow coun- ty, as secretary. Temporary officers were made permanent., with addition of Mr. George M. Hatch, of Park Co., as assistant -secretary. Major George O. Eaton, of Park Co., and Hon. T. C. Power, of Helena *ere elected dele- gates. Mr. Á. L. Babcock, of Billings, ' and Wm7/1:1)ewitt of Butte were elected alternates. Gen. Charles S. Warren, of Butte, was selected as the member of the National Committee. The general sentiment of the conven- tion is in favor of Blain, but the del- egation goes uninstructed and both delegates are thought to have other MAW-XILL NINE.

The Windsor Hotel changed hands a few days ago, Mr. Thomas F. Murray purchasing Mr. lç,.eene's interest and immediately mourning the duties of landlord. Patsy Fitzgerald. has re- sumed his position as clerk and the hotel will probably retain the popular favor which has always been bestowed upon it. Boulder people will regret to learn that Bach, Cory, & Co. have concluded to close their branch house in -Boulder, having decided to devote most of their outside efforts to their new house in Great Falls. For the purpose of wind- ing up their affairs here the large stock now, on hand will be sold at redfaçed rates and for cash only. Good bargains will be offered in ail lines. BUILDING NEWS.
