to the Iowa coal, II and II feet III depth,
are within easy reach. and q railroad will
be built to these mines, about twenty-cigllt
miles distant, within year or two at most.
Over three hundred car loads of cattle
have already been shipped from Billings,
and the railroad las been here but six
| weeks. Seven thousand head or about 400
| car loads, remain to be shipped. Although
for the bulk Of the wool shipments, two
hundred and forty tons-or an entire train
load-of their product was shipped from
this point during the latter part Of August,
and early portion of September.
Judith Basin, 70 miles square, probably
the best cattle1region in the world, is tribu-
tary to Billings. 1t is IS miles to the Ju-
dith gap, and 55 miles to the Musselshell
another famous cattle range. The lake ba-
sin, a level plateau 80 miles in length, is al
so tributary, not to speak of the Prior and
Goose creek, about 60 miles distant, the
Belt mountain sheep ranges, Warm Spring
and Swimming Woman's creek, and other
excellent stock regions.
THOSE WHO VISIT BILLINGS
and consider its surroundings will not fail
to see in and about it elements that will
make a city. How many visited Fargo

the prairics surrounding anything to en-.

w. Cass and associates, in the interest of
the Northern Pacific railroad, opened the

more thriving villages than there were set.

queen city of North Dakota, was ignored
for years until Anton Klaus showed his
faith in the surroundings, and now it is
one of the brightest of the bustling North
ern Pacific towns. Bismarck fingered on
an almighty thin diet-a feverish existence
at most-until George Stark, also of the
North Pacific, placed his unlimited means
atthe command of Mclean & Macnidcr,
and urged them TO make the experiments

Alex. Mckenzie and others has won for
Burleigh county the banner for the best ag-

third crop, and assures at Bismarck city

what the Hagers have done for Mandan,
