MARTIN MINING DISTRICT.

The excellent indications Of the general
prosperity of the Barker Mining district, to-
gether with the favorable report of the de-
velopment of the Grey Eagle and Bar
ker mine causes that district to be the
center of attraction Of capitalists and min
ers. An important rival, however, is now
looming up in the Martin Mining District,
which is distant from the Barker about TWEEN
ty-fve miles. Several good-looking leads
have been located in this latter district, but
oped is the Bismarck lode, which shows 8
vein of solid Galena two feet in width. The
actual width of the vein has not yet been de-
termined, one wall only being defined, a
tunnel is being run seven1y-fve feet below
the surface, the completion Of which will
discover the true width Of the vein at that
depth. The Bismarck mine is located in the
immediate vicinity Of Mount Badly, in the
Belt mountains, and is about fifteen miles
distant from Yogo gulch, and about the same
distance from Benton as the Barker mines,
with the advantage, however, OF having q
much better road. The recent developments
Of the resources of this district most as
suredly indicates an era of permanent pros
perity unsurpassed in the history of any otb-
er section OF the Territory. And it only re-
quires that we should all glide along this
prosperous path now opened, aiming more to
promote general interests than to specially
serve Individual ends, to make this condition
OF affairs speedily sure and certain.

The card Of Dir. Tattan, published in an

and members Of the Democratic Central
Committee, and Mr.. Adams of Sun River,
iInpeaching them Of the grossest V~enality
possible to 8 depraved human nature, and OF
official dishonesty hardly paralleled anywhere
There IS something repugnant and unhealthy,
and q degree Of moral tuTpitude hardly cred
IDLE, ia a mind which would recklessly make
assertions of the character that have been
applied to those gentlemen, and only the
most positive assurance of their truth should
influence the making of these statements. 1t
will bear heavily upon the gentlemen who
have made the assertions detailed in the card
of Mr.. Tattan if they are not able to show
the most convincing proof of their truth.
The gentlemen who are accused have lived
here too long, and the sterling qualities of
their character are too widely and favorably
known to succumb under assaults from any
source unless they are backed by absolute
proof. Will they present that absolute

FoRr BHNToE, November, 9Th 1880

FORT BHNTory, November, 9th 1880.
To the Editor Of the RIVER Press.
There has been q good deal Of discussion
here, lately, about the time allowed by Act
Of Congress for miners 70 perform the neces-
sary work upon claims located since January
1886. VIII you end the matter by publishing
In your paper, It possible, an answer to the
following question ? What length Of time
is allowed to @locators Of quartz mines, dis
covered since January last, to put the re-
quired Sl00 N work Upon their claim

QUARTZ MINER.
There seems to be some misunderstanding
existing among miners, and those interested
il mines, in this locality, relative to the
period allowed by the United States statutes,
wherein Improvements may be made upon
unpatented mines, and quartz leads located
during the past summer and fall months.
For the information Of our correspondent,
and our readers generally, we publish in this
issue the section which applies to the i'm
proveInents Of unpatented mines, as amended
by Act Of Congress and appears upon the
statutes, and also the letter Of Commissioner
Williamson concerning IFS Interpretation. As
will be seen from this section, locatoss of
mines discovered subsequent to January last,
are not compelled to perform the required
work upon their claims prior to ne1tJanuary;
they arc only required 10 have their annual
expenditures made some time prior to Jan
uary, 1882.
SECTION 1924. The miners Of each n1lning-listrsct
may make regulations notin conflict with the laws Of
the United States, or with the laws ofzfhe State or

jecL to the following requirements: The location
must be distinctly marked on the ground. 30 that its

DESERT LANDS.

The. Instructions Of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office, published on the
seventh page Of this number OF the RIVER
Pass, will undoubtedly prove interesting to
our readers. It puts the quietus upon all ar
gument as to what constitutes desert lands,
within the meaning Of the act relating
thereto. The act of Congress, which the
| Commissioners interprets, was apparently in
lands SO extensive III the Territories to which
the act applied, but, through accident or de-
sign, in its operation il became an instrument
towards defeating the very object which Con-
gress evidently Intended to promote. In
view Of the very favorable and satisfactory
Interpretation of the Commissioner, we re-
frain from analyzlng the characteristics OF the
different sections Of this act, in contradlstinc-
ton to those of the homestead and pre-emp-
ton acts, believing that, although land grab
bers, as they are termed, took advantage Of
the imperfections of the enactment, there
were many entries of a bona fde character
made under its provisions.
The decision of the Commissioner is def
mite and the instructions to those required to
clear and pointed, leaving no opportunity for
reasonable doubt of their meaning. "Land
along streams and around bodies Of water,
which produce grass suitable for hay without
.nt:4o,, rr;1rc4 ;oa# 80, a -, or+ 1a.1 u,<bs, ~,
meaning of the law, nor is any land which
will produce any crop whatever without irri-
cation, and such lands are not subject to
desert entry There can be 40 possibility
of mistaking this language. It's meaning is
too clear, plain and explicit to admit Of any
doubt as to what constitutes desert land and
under this decision, which must be accepted
as binding and final, how many acres in
Choteau county can properly be classed as
desert lands? Not upon the Missouri: bottoms,
nor upon the valleys OF Sun River, Teton,
Marias, aighWood, shonkin, Belt or Arrow
creeks can an acre OF land be pointed out
which, within the meaning of the act of Con-
gress, can be termed desert, OR which, under
these rules, can be properly entered and pur-
chased as desert lands. The bench lands,
even, may yet be preserved to the settler, for
except in years of unusual drought they pro-
duce more than average crops OF hay.
The importaneet to this county Of the ruling
OF the Commissioner cannot at present be
justly estimated. In a few years, when the
oppressed of forei countries, and the over
crowded farmers and ill-paid mechanics Of
the Eastern States, become settlers in our
midst when the pick and plow shall
emerge from obseurifv aud. unifed}y, reveal
the now hidden resources cit our lands when
the day-dTeam Of the past five years-now
being gradually and Enthusiastically trans
formed into q reality Ct prosperity-shall, by
the aid Of merchant, miner, mechanic and
farmer, vanish into gigantic enterprises, the
growth Of their conception, then shall the
citizens. of this county fully realize the bless
ings that attend free lands for the homes OF
free people.

A CARD.

To the Editors of the Record:
AS the chairman Of the Democratic Central
Committee Of Choteau County has called q
meeting Of said committee, to be held at the
court house, at 7 o'clock .. N. on Thursday,
the 18th inst, and as you have seen fit to
make your paper the vehicle Of diagraceful
slurs and libelous imputations upon the
aforesaid committee, both as members and
in their individual capacity, | demand that
you appear at said meeting and make good
the charges published in your paper of last
week, which charges are as follows:
That Gus. Senieur, John f. Murphy, J. G.
Adams and John w. Tattan, members of
the Democratic Central Committee, were
parties to a deliberate plan, and conspired
to defeat Heaiy and Hamilton, Democratic
candidates for Sheriff and Commissioner.
That Gus senieur loaned the Republican can
didate for Sheriff, twenty dollars, for the
purpose of buying Democratic votes.
That John T. Murphy, secretary Of the com
mittee, distributed tickets with the name Of
Rowe and Weatherwax thereon, instead Of
Healy and Hamilton, as candidates for
Sheriff and Commissioner that the bogus
tickets thus distributed BY said Murphy,
were circulated by J. o. Adams, at Sun
River, and that the money paid by Mesars.
Healy and Hamilton, candidates for sheriff
and commissioners, 10 said Murphy, as cam
paign assessments, We're used by him to aid
3 conspiracy to defeat said candidates.
That John ". Tattan, member Of said COM
mittee and candidate for Probate Judge
did, secretly, all in bis power to defeat
Messrs Healy and Hamilton; that he was d
party to 8 bargain and sale Of said c8ndi-
dates, and through fear of exposure stood
aloof from the pollsto avoid suspicion.
These are The charges made by you, eli
tors Of the Record, and / demand that you
appear, at the time and place above stated,
with your proofs.
As far as the charges against myself are
concerned, I could here and nov prove them
to be deliberate faisehoods-and [ know the
other charges are false--and, further, that
you who made them knew them to be false;
but Justice to those gentlemen with whom
my name has been associated, requires that
proper investigation should be made and that
those who published the above libdous
charges should have full and ample opportu-
nifty TO prove them.
Do not fail TO appear with your proof, aud
by the way you may as well be prepared to
answer q few pertinent questions that may be
asked of yourselves. JNo. W. TATrAN.
