Montana Wool.

In the last issue Of the Bulletin of the
National Wool Manufacturers Associa-
ton, a quarterly magazine devoted to
the interests and published by the wool
manufacturers of the country, MI. Glib
sons excellent address before the Mon
tana Wool Growers association, deliver
ed last summer, is published in full. It
is spoken of very highly by the editor,
and calls the attention of manufacturers
to the recommendations made and the
fine future for Montana wool. This is
an excellent word from the right quar-
ter and cannot help doing much for our
wool by drawing in such a pronounced
the attention of manufacturers
to it. Mr.. Hayes, the secretary of the
National Wool Manufacturers associa-
ton and editor of the quarterly, has
published a pamphlet devoted entirely
to Montana as a wool producing section,
and has always spoken highly of the
good qualities Of our wool.

REDUCING THE RESERVATION.
Gen. Towards Mission IN Northern Mon
rana and What it Will Probably
Result In.

Mr.. Stateler. of the firm of Stateler &
Lilly, has just returned from Northern
Montana. He says a good deal OF inter-
est is felt at Benton and vicinity in ref
erence to the proposed cutting down OF
the Piegan reserve. He says this reserve
contains a vast amount of splendid
country for both farming and stock
growing, and in the event Of a portion
of it being opened for settlement, there
is sure to be a great stampede in that dl-
rection. This, of course, would result
in much good to Benton, which is bound
to remain the supply point for all that
portion Of the territory.
Gen. Howard, United States Indian
Inspector, visited the Piegan reserve
two or three weeks ago., and it is under
stood in Benton that he will recommend
opening q large scope OF Indian LAND
for settlement. AS is we'll known, al
most all Of northeastern Montana is at
present reserved for the Indians (prin-
cipally the Piegans and Gros Ventres).
Gen. Howard will recommend that the
Indian territory be cut down by restor-
ing to the public domain q tract of coun-
try roughly estimated to be 200 miles
wide least and west) and about 120 miles
north and south, containing about 49,
coo, 900 acres. This would be almost all
empire in itself, and possessing as itdoes
ali the requisites agricultural, mineral
and otherwise) for developing into u
prosperous country, its being open for
would not only be good for
Benton, but for the whole territory.
The proposed cutoff lies east of the
Piegan agency, north of the Marias and
Missouri rivers, and extends to the east
ern line of the territory. +
The Piegans are not entirely satisfied
with the arrangement and the price, but
the pressure IS SO great that they will
to make themselves content with
what they can get, SO General Howard
says.
It is generally believed up north that
Maj Young, the Piegan agent, will 500
resign.-Independent.

A Rich Find.

MINNEAPOLIS, December PA spe-
cial from Billings says that Jack Meyer
has re~-discovered the lead lost in the
Big Horn mountains, in Montana,
which is immensely rich. 1t is located
near the headwaters of the Big Horn
river. This mine, which three old
timers discovered early ia the territorial
times, two of whom were murdered by
the Indians and the survivor became
insane, scould never be traced, and since
then the discovery had passed from ter
ritorial tradition. The lode is reported
to run over into the river at one point,
where the surface indications show a
width OF $40 feet and a height of sixty
feet. Meyer claims to have traiIed the
lode twenty-five miles, and i'm some
places found it 600 feet wide. Ut is free
milling quartz, and every pan shows
good prospects. Meyer, his father and
uncle have gone to their claim to devel-
OPP it.

Reservation Raiders "B0unced.'

Word was brought in last week by Mr..
Groesbeck, of the Teton, that two par
ties were escorted off from the reserva-
ton and across the Marias, Sunday, by
a military escort from Fort Assinaboine.
They were informed that a repetition Of
the offense in invading the sacred do
mains of the Blackfeet would lead to a
confiscation of the trespassers' personal
effects. They were captured in the vici-
nifty of Bears Paw, and though they
protested that they were on their way
to the Canadian Pacific, it availed them
nothing, as the military thought they
were too far from the right road for that
to be the case. There were six men in
one party and seven in the other, fully
equipped with pack horses, gruD, and
everything necessary to make a good,
long stay, wherever their destination
may have been. A gentleman in the city
who claims to know says the invaders
were sent out by influential and wealthy
parties to locate ranches, and when cap
tured were headed for Birch creek,
which flows from the south side Of the
Bears Paw into the Missouri near
Clagett.

nopolies. The taking Of large tracts by
associations and companies is not good
for the country. There are thousands
of homeless people in America, who
could live and prosper if located upon
our vacant lands, and we maintain that
every possible advantage should be
opened to them for the taking of homes
under the existing laws. Thele is no
necessity whatever of companies form
ing to invade and gobble up the lands.
MANY stock raisers will seek fresher
pastures and locations in the new land,
and it is all right enough for those con-
templating a change, or TO engage in the
business, to look it over with a view to
good locations, but by all means let the
herds and flocks be owned by actual res
