LIVINGSTON, M. T., SEPT 13, 1883.

The Daily Yellowstone Journal of Miles City is again welcomed to the newspaper world after an absence of seven months. I t comes to the front bright and newsy as of yore and we hope it may not again take such a va­cation.

An election of delegates to a constitu- tional'convention is to be held on the first Monday of November. Notwithstanding that the time approaches and the work to be performed by the men elected is a most important one. nothing is apparently thought of the matter, even by those who have the interests of the prospective state of Montana most at lieart The views on important points held by the men elected as delegates should be known in advance, that electors will have some assurance of the course they will pursue iu the con­vention.

With the completion of the Northern Pacific St. Paul capitalists are beginning to consider their city an advantageous point for the location of reduction works for the the treatment of Montana, Idaho and Manitoba ores. Gen. Mead of the Omaha smelting company agrees with them and advocates the ^establishment of auch an industry at St. Paul. This sounds very w ell in a St. Paul paper but a ques­tion must arise in the practical mind as to the wisdom of locating mining machinery at a point over a thousand miles or more from the nearest ore supply. If we mistake not, tiie ten­dency of present mining operations is to treat ores as near as possible to the mines whence they are taken. I t is not profita­ble to transport base bullion or mineral bearing rock a thousand miles before the gold or silver is taken from it. St. Paul may erect reduction works, but it may be safely concluded that the full solution of the great mining problem in Montana will cut off the supply so far as this territory is concerned. With the immense ore bodies which lino our mountains and ra­vines, yet to be developed, reduction works of the highest class will be erected at some point much nearer source of supply than is St. Paul.

Some point in Montana will become the location of extensive ore working ma­chinery. That point will naturally be the center of a mineral country and it would seem reasonable to suppqs^ in one where mining is in its infancy. In Livingston we have such a place. South of us lies a rich mining region that is yet almost un­touched. From our very doofs stretchos a belt of mineral, tl r >ugh the mountains and gulches east of the Yellow stone away to tile Wyoming border and firming in all a rich ore body such as does not exist elsewhere in the known world. North of Livingston are a number of mining districts that have most flattering prospects before them even now while new discoveries are constantly being made. Capital is beginningto be at­tracted to these regions and within a year or two at the outside, that zone of Montana reaching from the Belt mountains in the north, southward to the boundary will be the seeue of mining operations on a most extensive scale. Livingston is the center of this region, geographically and com­mercially. If ores are shipped from the mines of that great district for treatment it will be through Livingston. But it is safe to conclude that when the day arrives for treating ores elsewhere than at the miucs, the point se­lected will not be further away than the nearest railroad location. Again, it is the policy of later mining operations to centralize such operations,and make some easily accessible commercial centre the location of great reduction works. This lias proven the case wherever there is a wide-spread mineral producing country, and equally will prove the case in Mon tana. Where the centre will be in this territory cannot yet be certainly deter­mined, but it is with something more than a mere narrow local feeling that we ex­press our belief that the place will be Livingston. The town has been spoken of in this light long ago by those who had no personal interest in agitating the idea, and within a very few days we have heard the probability discussed. by non- revident mining capitalists. We have striven to consider this question with the disintered mind of a stranger to Xiving- ston, and still have the firm opinion that k i t no idle vision tliat leads her people to ip n k of the town as the ‘»Denver of the northwest,” for such it will become in tin ordinary course of developments

The local agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. . is having a timsel with the N orthern Pacific agents Every day the Missoula express m atter is thrown on the car and as promptly thrown off by the agents, who claimed the road was not a t all accepted east of Missou­la, and they were not compelled to carry the packages. The organization of the “ N orthern Pacific Express Company” , as an opposition concern, is probably a t the bottom of the trouble. I t is noticeable th a t the la t­ter company takes all the express m at­ter it can get.—Mis ouia Times.
