About Barker.

T. A. Wall, the rustling lumberman
of the Barker country, has an interest
inc letter in a recent issue of the Butte
Miner, of which the following is an ex-
tract:
The country around Clendenin on the
outside, for farming and stock raising,
is unequalled. The grain fields all look
well, and parties are commencing to cut
hay, which is plenty within twelve
miles Of Barker, and can be put up for
$3.50 pei ton. There are two saw mills
in. the. f1istrict. One saw mill is stu
atel " chin five miles of Clendenin and
the other eighteen miles from town.
Both mills are running in full blast.
There are some good buildings in Glen
denim. Among them is Odd Fellows
hall, built by the Barker building asso-
citation, which is a credit to the town.
The G. NJ. & S. Co. have two patent
charcoal kilns built, and they purpose
building six more right away. they
intend running their coal direct from
the kilns to the furnace by a tramWay
car, which will result in a great saving
| of time and labor. The mine owners
| are all mining their ores, which are in
creasing in richness as depth is attained.
Most of the veins carry very rich chlor-
ides and black sulphurets Of silver, and
the district will undoubtedly become
one of the principal mining camps of
Montana. The Barker district has It's
shelters running in full blast. The
| Clendenin smelter is making q fine run
on ore from the Wright & Edwards and
Silver Bell mines. The camp is in a
thrifty condition and the mines are all
looking well, and good leads are struck
| almost every aay.

The Snow Greek Mines.

From Dan Lombard, who came in
from Barker Wednesday, We learn that
q great deal of interest IS being mani
tested in the new discoveries on Snow
creek, near Big Badly, and that many
locations are being made. This is the
section in which the [. <. L. and O.. X,
the rich leads recently discovered by Hi.
Wright, Tuck Lambert and others are,
and also where Dan Dutro made II
locations last year. Mr.. Lombard con-
firms the reported richness OF the recent
discoveries, and says, also, that at least
two Of the Dutro leads-the Blue Cloud
and the Snow Storm-he knows from
personal examination to be very rich.
Dan has made a few locations himself
which he thinks we'll of, and is enthusi-
astic over the rich prospect which the
camp holds out.
Everything seems to favor the belief
now gaining ground that the Snow
creek mines will prove to be the richest
| yet discovered in the Belt mountains,
anu every person tHab COMES III from
there confirms the assertions Of the one
before him. Work will be pushed on
the T. x. T.. and @. K. and Mr.. Dutro is
now in the camp and has commenced
the development of the property Of the
company which he represents and Of
| which he is d member. Others will put
III a good deal Of work this summer and
fall, and tits expected that before win
ter sets in the richness Of the leads III
this camp viii be demonstrated beyond
a doubt.
