Mr.. Berg Explains.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 25, 1882

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct 20, 1852.
S. II. McLeary, ESD:
Noticing an account i'm this mornings EX-
press of Il personal encounter between yourself
and Mr.. II. G. Grincr, in which you place me in
a false position, by coupling my name with u
statement without stating facts, deem it my
duty in justice to myself and Mr.. Griner to
state the facts, which are as follows: At a pri-
vate house, where we both happened to be in
vited guests, in the course of a conversation,
men, etc. arose, when you stated that there
was but one democrat resident of the 10th dis
trict, who had signed the article, and that was
interest in his stock, which I contradict with
the statement that did not think that Messrs
Half & Bro. owned an interest in Griner's
sheep, but that Messrs H. & Bro. advanced
Griner money on his wOOl-not stating any
amount, nor that Half & Bro. held a mortgage
us certainly had no means of ascertaining the
information, had felt interested in so doing
Respectfully,
LOUIS s. BERG.

MAIL SERVICE BETWEEN BENTON
AND BILLINGS. .

It is now fully time to agitate the sub
ject Of a direct daily mail route FROM
Benton TO Billings as the railroad will
be completed to that point within the
next few weeks. The distance is less
than 200 miles, and the establishment of
such service is ofthe greatest importance
to Benton and Northern Montana. At
present there is ~tri-weekly service as
far as the Judith Gap, nearly two-thirds
Of the distance, and u good road from
that point to Billings There is now
mail service between Benton and Bill
rings by the roundabout route to Martins
dale, but the service from the latter
place to Billings is only once q week. II
all this were changed go as to establish a
direct route, with a daily service, be-
tween Benton and Billings the cost to
the government would not be greater
because of the fact that the latter would
be ~ Of the most important and best
paying stage routes in the territory, and
contractors would be induced to carry
the mails at low figures. When it is
understood that AL points in Northern
Montana would be brought with
closer connection with the east, from two
to three days, it can be readily seen
that this proposed through line to the
railroad would at once come into prom-
inence. Besides it passes through Il
country that is rapidly settling up and
its local business from the beginning
would be immense; there can be no ques-
ton about such a through line provinga
profitable one,a and its necessity must be
patent to every one conversant with the
lay of the land. If the facts are properly
represented to the department the RIVER
PRESS believes that no difficulty would
be experienced il securing the desired
change, and the time for action has fully
arrived. The citizens of Benton can not
afford to let this matter lie allegiance, and
should take steps at once to present the
subject to the department.

THE MONTANA DISTRICT.

It would be difficult to find a noun
tain region Of narrow boundaries richer
in resources than is the Montana mining
district. That it is destined to prove
one of the richest mining camps III
Montana is the verdict Of every miner
who has visited the district, and the
work that has been done on the princi-
pal leads bears out the first opinions
formed. As. a rule the leads are large
and have every indication Of per-
manency. They have been discovered
high upon the mountains, and the rock
formation is just such as would clearly
indicate good mines. The character of
the ore in most instances is free milling,
an advantage that will be appreciated
by those who undertake the develop
ment Of any Of the mines and the re-
duction of their ores. Less capital will
be required, and the cost Of reduction
will not be nearly SO great as in the case
Of smelling ore. Assays from leads in.
the camp, including some Of those
recently discovered, run from 200 to
/ 200 ounces in silver, and the beauty Of
it is most of the lodes show great bodies
Of ore, from five to twenty feet wide,
with every indication Of being true
assure veins. A large number Of inn
portant discoveries have been made IN
the district this summer, and Within the
next year or two we may look for con
siderable progress in the camp. Already
parties are talking Of putting in a mill,
and if the leads continue to show up
favorably, it is certain that next season
will see several mills in operation in the
camp.
But silver is not the only valuable
product of the camp. A gentleman who
has just returned from the district, and
who spent three months prospecting
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1882-08-02

within its limits this summer, informs
Us that the resources of the camp are
simply wonderful. Besides the net
work ri silver leads lie enumerates the
following valuable products to be found
there i'll abundance: Great beds Of
gypsum, fine marble guarries, kaolin III
extensive beds, lime stone every place,
coal and timber in ineSllat.tible supply.
IF Benton said he. had railroad con
nection with that favored portion Of tho
Belt mountains there Is hardly anything
in the way Of mineral that could not be
secured, while lumber and fuel III end
less quantity would be had He grows
enthusiastic in his account OF the varied
resources Of the district, and expresses
the opinion that III the very near future
the new district will be the greatest Of
oil Of Benton's tributary mining fields.
If the Benton branch Of the Northern
Pacific come by way Of Belt creek,
which is probable, it will pass within q
few miles Of this district, giving our
town close connection with the same. a
branch IL Neifsart could easily be ON
stracted, and Doubtless, will BE- before
many years. The value OF such a road,
