OF the stream, where the river makes its

caught III the mountain streams.
A n large spring runs out of bed
fock into the river at the lower end of
the bottom, similar to the immense one
on the other side of the river, about i've
miles above, which runs as much water
as a small river, and is described by
Lewis and Clarke as being the largest
spring in Montana.
The mineral springs, three miles be-

seeing. The large white sulphur spring,
which is in a fine, grassy bottom right
opposite the mouth of Belt creek, flows
about thirty inches Of water, and is not
at all unpleasant to the taste or SMELL
the sulphureted hydrogen gas bubbling
up through it made one think he was
walking on al immense hens nest filled
with very ancient eggs. The medicinal
qualities of this spring have yet to be
tested.
There are other mineral springs above
this about a mile, running out Of a per-
pendicular cliff into the river, but the
water being high now 50 as to wash the
bottom of the cliff, we were unable to
give them a personal inspection. In
close proximity there are a soda, an
iron, and a sulphur spring, so a patient

It is a Good Wheat Country, Too.

We have just received the following
letter from J. B. Stocking, a brother of
w. S. Stocking, Of this city:
ELK RAPIDS, Mich, June 8, 1883.
Editors of RIVER Press:
Through the kindness Of my brother,
w. S. Stocking, ] receive your valuable
paper, which gives a great deal of infor-
nation about the Montana region and
the growth and prosperity of Fort Ben
ton. Your paper comes very regular and
our neighbors are. always anxious to
read it. But there is one thing that puz-
zles us: You don't say much about the
wheat crop. You speak Of grain" but
we don't understand what kind Of grain
is meant. Can you grow good wheat in
that section, as we'll as other grain? We
all know it is q great stock country, but
we need some light on the grain ques-
ton. Please answer through your pa
per for the information of myself and
neighbors. Yours, with respect,
j. B. STOCKING.
In answer to Mr.. Stockings inquiry,
we will say that wheat grows nicely and
Yields enormous returns throughout all
portions of Northern Montana where it
has been tried. There are as yet no
Touring mills in the vicinity of Fort
Benton, and consequently nc induce
ments for the ranchmen to grow that
grain, while there is always a good
market for oats, the principal grain crop
at present in this section. Farmers here
have harvested as high as siNty-fye
bushels Of wheat to the acre, andSthe
average crop is scarcely less than forty.
With the development of the agricul-
tura1 interests Of the country, the build
ing Of Touring mills, the advent of the
railroad, etc, wheat will become the
favorite crop, as it will be the most prof
liable to the farmer, and when we con-
slider the results that have already been
accomplished, it is safe to say Montana
will then beat the world at wheat pro-
ducing.

Mr.. Wackerl1n Has Something to Say.

II. J. Wackerlin returned from his
eastern trip Saturday evening after an
absence of five weeks, during which
time he purchased a fine stock of goods
for the house of H. J. Wackerlin q Co.
Mr.. w, being an observing gentleman
and ever ready to express an opinion,
our reporter bearded the gentleman in
his den yesterday and worked him. af-
ter the following manner:
"HoW are things in the east?n com
menced the scribe.
"Dull. This has been a very wet sea-
son and the farmers have hard luck. In
consequence all business is slow, and
the wholesalers in particular are grum-
bling. In Chicago they claim. they are
not selling one-half of the goods they
expected to, and { believe it. / was east
about this same time last year. and I
observed a great difference in the bust
ness they did,
How about St. Paul?n
1T is different, I think. The north
west is developing rapidly, and st. Paul
and Minneapolis are coming in for a fair
portion Of the wholesale trade. These
are bound to be great cities.u
Coming west what other towns did
you stop at?'
II stopped at Bismarck, and I tell you
the boom has strnck that town in full
force. Riding on the cars from Chicago
to Bismarck I heard little else talked
about except the future great and when
I arrived there / found the town full of
people, most Of them seeking invest
ment in real estate. Wonderful prices

are paid for lots, and it seems that the
whole county has been annexed to the
toWnsite. No matter how many are
thought, there are always plenty left.
You can't buy anything in the way Of
real estate for less than 81 900, and 81, 800
a front foot has been asked for property
pm the principal street. Still there is no
comparison between Bismarck and Ben
ton. They have not got the buildings
nor the stores we have. Neither do they
do the business that is done here. In
fact there is not a town west of Fargo
to the Rocky mountains that will in any
way compare with ours"
"Did you stop at Miles City?n
mo, but to a man in the ears it looked
mighty forsaken."
"What Of Billings?n
II had to lay over in Billings two
days, and must say it is a remarkably
lduu place. There is absolutely nothing
doing, and I don't believe I saw five
dollars in sight during my %sojourn. The
merchants are doing nothing, and there
IS no building at all going on. AS for
business houses and stocks, they are
small affairs, indeed, compared with
of our town."
"Then you come back with renewed
faith in Benton"
"You bet [ do. It is the best town in
Montana to-day, and will continue so.
A visit to the over-boomed towns along
the line of the Northern Pacific is best
calculated to impress one with this fact.
And you must not suppose that Fort
Benton is unknown in the east. I heard
as much talk about this place as any
other in the territory, and favorable
mention, too. Our town and county is
bound to have a gradual growth from
this time forward, and l, for one, am
glad that it is not to be a quick boom
that soon passes away
The opinions of Mr.. Wackerlin are
about identical with those expressed by
every Bentonite on returning from a
trip east. A visit to the railroad towns
will convince any one that "the i isolated
city of the great n~orthwest' is the chief
of all.

Maiden Gold.

From a letter received from A. M. Es-
Ter, dated at Maiden, June u, 1883, we
learn that the Fort Maginnis Mining
company had on hand at that date
thirty-one and a quarter pounds of gold,
the product of a run of twenty-eight
days. This may be roughly estimated
at the value Of 81. 900.
