THE CITY OF HELENA.
AMONG all Western cities, Helena, the
permanent capital of Montana, takes
/the lead in that push and enterprise
of which the Eastern man has only a faint
idea. Thirty-two years ago where there
was nothing but a mining camp, now
stands a city which is the pride of Mon¬
tana. The title, " Queen City of the
Rockies," is fairly won by our city. She
is indeed a queen, and will sway her scep¬
ter as long as Montana shines one of the
brightest stars in the sisterhood of States.
In the heart of the Rockies, many feet
above the sea
level,    is    the
queen ; at her
feet lies t h„e
lovely*^ Pr i ckjy
Pear Valley,'sur¬
rounded by lofty
mountains. But
so much has been
written of the
beauties of the
Rockies, we will
only add that
Helena is finely
situated, over¬
looking one of
the most beauti¬
ful valleys.
The city occu¬
pies the ground
which has yielded
'a vast wealth of
precious metal in years past, but it is not
mining alone that has made Helena " Queen
of the Rockies," though the mines have
added millions to her wealth.
The isolated position of our city makes
it the commercial city of Montana. With
St. Paul 1,150 miles east, Tacoma Y80 miles
west, and Salt Lake City 500 miles south,
we are without a rival in one of the richest
mining and stock-raising districts of the
world.
The high elevation of Helena, her wealth
of clear sunshine, and purity of atmos¬
phere, make mere existence enjoyable.
Here are the famous Broadwater Hot
Springs, connected with the finest and larg¬
est natatorium  in  the  world.
We are also proud of our educational
facilities, the value of our public-school
property, and that of private individuals
reaching into the hundred thousands.
Helena is a city of schools, having a well-
defined and well-regulated public-school
system, under a corps of able instructors ;
and thoroughly equipped parochial schools-
The Montana University is under an able
corps of professors ; and the Engelhorn
Helena Business College is the leading
school of its kind in the great Northwest.
Helena has therefore the true scheme of
education ever in view; viz., knowledge,
deportment,  and  efficiency,  so  it  can  be

age in  the  United  States.
HEIGHT OF MOUNT HELENA.
THE question is frequently asked, especi¬
ally by visitors. How much higher is
Mount Helena than the city } According
to Colonel DeLacy's survey the peak of
the mountain is 1,150 feet above the door-
sill of Brown's clock on Warren St. The
city is 4,256 feet above sea level, which
would make Mount Helena 5,406 feet above
the level of the sea.
