The RarrOyys Murder.

SACO. Me-, Jan. 31.-Oscar L. Blaney
and Mrs. BarroWs were jointly indicted
for the murder Of Thomas BarroWs, but
were granted separate trials. Mrs. Bar
rows trial is now on. This afternoon
Blanev took the stand and made COM
plete confession Of the crime, giving MIN
ute details. His story was that after pur-
chasing the pistol and cartridges, he LETT
his home the night OF the murder ostensl-
bly to visit a neighbours, but went to Bar
rows place and lay in wait for Thomas
Barrows and shot him twice as he was
passing to his barn. He then threw down
the revolver and started for home. Soon
after Mrs. BarrOws called at his house, and
there was hurried consultation between
Mrs. Barrows, Mrs. Blaney and Oscar 4.
Blaney. Mrs. Barrows then said her hus-
band had committed suicide. Blaney pre-.
cured two cartridges. He and Mrs. Bar
rows started back, and while Mrs. Barrow$
remained outside Blaney went to the room
where Barrows lay groaning. Wher
Blaney entered Barrows said: "Oscar,
mast go.' Blaney replied, eyes, your
time has come," and shot several times
producing immediate death. He then wen
out to the shed where Mrs. Barrows had
remained. She said, >'Haye you made sure
of him 20 They went into the house where
they heard low means. She said he wa;
not dead. Blaney replied that he thought
he would die, as the ball had entered bis
head. The woman said: "Oscar, he Is MOI
dead" We took a lantern; she went te

at the head were all bloody; standing a

Mrs. Mackay's Jewels.

Mrs. }. W. Mackay's jewel chest, which
she keeps in the vaults of Paris banking
house, contains the finest collection Of
precious stones, outside of a royal treasury,
that exists in Europe. It is valued at
something like s., 100000. Foremost in
the collection shows resplendent the ia
nous set of sapphires which attracted so
much attention when exhibited by the
JeWeler Boucheron at the Partisan uniyer-
sal exhibition of 1878. 1t. is valued at
$3OO,0OO, and comprises the diadem,
bracelets, ring, earrings and necklace.
with large pendant. The necklace is
double, the upper row being a band of large
square diamonds and sapphires, fitting the
throat closely, While the lower row. a wide
arabesque of the same stones, supports the
pendant. This last is composed of one
enormous sapphire, peerless in color and
in water, and set in large diamonds. The
stone is of the size of pigeons egg, cut
transvepsely, perfect oval in shape, and
is alone valued at $4,000.

producing breeds. Their demand for sl1-
perior animals, over and above what the
stock on hand can supply, has led to the
purchase Of many animals too young for
present use, and even to the contracting
for the expected increase of choice herds.
Montana beeves have stood as high Or
higher than those of any other grazing re-
gion, owing in partto the presence of good
blood; bat this large introduction of blood
ed animals into the herds south, will be
likely TO change this and place Montana

We have been shown the prospectus OF
the Alberta mining company of the North
west Territory. The prospectus is small
pamphlet printed for private circulation
only. It contains the names of officers OF
the company and Captain Retallack's re-
port of the company's properties, in which
is glowing, but minute description OF
Storm or Copper mountain, Twin Lakes
and Red Cloud, together with reconmen-
dations for working, tunneling, etc. In
his concluding remarks, the captain says;
$50 far as Copper mountain is concerned,
I have no hesitation in saying from the
property q very valuable one and likely to
result ia large profits with minimum cost
of working. In another part Ct the report
Captain Retallack refers to tiae specimens
taken from the mines ,as follows. Every tina
specimens are taken from different points
in this locality, but | must refer 10 one il
particular, which weighs some seventy
five pounds of blue and green carbonate

cent of copper, was picked up on the sur
face OF the north side OF the mountain, and
was with some difficulty carried to the
camp. I beg 20 suggest that this specl~
men be sent to England after Is has been
seen by those interested on this side Of the
Atlantic.,'' The capital stock of the COM
pany is s2,ooo,0oo in 100000 shares at

SUN RIVER ENTERPRISE.

FORT SHAW, NJ. T., Feb. I, 1884.
TO the Editor Of the Record:
Perhaps no section of the west is attract
ing so much attention from capitalists and
laborers as Northern Montana is to day.
The rich agricultural lands that have re
manned dormant, or used only for grazing
purposes, are coming to life and usefulness.
Capitalists are directing their attention to
the fertility Of this soil and see in it untold
millions Of future wealth. Although the
Piegan reservation, Or parts ofitare coVet-
ed by many the centre Of attraction seems
to be in the neighborhood Of Sun
River.
No less than four great irrigating canals
have been surveyed and contracts let for
building them. The largest Of these is, Or
will be owned principally by Helena gen
tlemen. About fifty sections of the land
adjacent to it have been cleared by the
owners under the various land rights,
This di tch will be lao miles long when
completed. It will be about twenty feet
wide, and is not only designed to furnish
water for irrigating and other purposes
along its course, but also to float building
lumber, cord wood, etc., for the ranchmen.
It's water will be drawn out Of the North
Fork of Sun river and run about tour
miles from and parallel with the main
stream until it reaches the Missouri near
the Falls. It is claimed that this ditch will
furnish sufficient water for use OF one
hundred and fifty sections Of land. The
land SO far cleared lies on the Great Plat
eau from three TO thirteen miles north
west, north, and west of the town. The
estimated cost of this ditch is $3.50, 900
The other three canals are Of less magni-
tude. The aggregate cost Of constructing
them will be about $500, 600. [ am not at
liberty to write you the particulars OF these
enterprises just now, butWiu in some fu~
t1lre correspondence. There are three dis
tinct companies composed principally OF
eastern men. The cause Of this sudden
rush for land and water rights seems to be
due, in part, to its proximity to the line
VI tllc pIopoooU DoA1oA ''Ai> hOhoi''S ASNAA
road. All this Of course will be the means
of bringing in new people and settling up
the country. And while it is antagonistic
to the stock interests, it assures every
body of permanent prosperity.
It is proposed to erect a large Touring
mill on Sun River valley in time to manu-
facture the next crop Of wheat. VIM. Ulm
George STEEL, M. Carroll and other pro-
minent men who are carrying out this
scheme have guaranteed ranchmen the
fulfllment of this enterprise. Other manu-
facturies will followEin the near future, not
alone at Sun River valley, but Benton,
Choteau, Great Falls, and other parts OF
northern Montana. CORRESPONDENT.

Thousands of blooded bulls have been
added to the herds along the cattle range
from Texas to Montana during the past

A despatch to the Calgary Herald states
that the proposed mining legislation is
ready and will be submitted to parliament
among the first of the government meas
ures. Forty acres is now to constitute
mining claim instead of twenty as hereto
fore. It is evident from this that the
Canadian government is alive to the lm-
portance of the mining industry OF the
northwest territory. In fact it is the only
relable resource the territory has got
The tur trade is dead and cattle raising
and agriculture are mere experiments with

But there is no question as to its mining
resources. Gold, silver, copper and coal

but indications of the almost unlimited
wealth the country contains.

FORT ,SHA " RESER VAIIION.

A bill was introduced in the House of
Representatives on the 3Oth ultimo, by our
indefatigable Delegate Hon. Martin
Maginnis, to curtail the Fort Shaw mill
tary reservation and throw open a portion
of the land to settlement. This is certain
ly move in the right direction and the
bill ought to pass without negative vote.
We venture to say that no reasonable rea-
son could be given why this reservation
has SO long been allowed to occupy about
81, 900 acres of some of the best land in the
Sun River valley. Beyond asmall portion
Of grazing land in the upper part OF the
reservation the military have made no use
whatever of the thousands of acres that
would have been taken up by settlers
but for this senseless monopoly. 10
show upon what frivolous grounds the
government has held this valuable property
since 1850, we need only refer to the fact
that q similar bill was introduced by Ma
jor Maginnis while the Fort was under the
command of General GibbOn, OF the
Seventh Infantry. The General refused to
favor the cutting down Of the reservation
and gave as a reason that it would bring
the whisky shops too close to the garrison
and enable the soldiers to get drunk with
out having to walk 50 far for their liquor.
The absurdity Of the excuse becomes still
more evident when the fact is stated that
at the very time the General made his re-
port the sale of liquor. directly on the res
eryation and within a stones throw OF
the garrison was not restricted. In other
words the post trader was permitted to
retail liquor to the soldiers as long as they
had money to pay for it or their credit was
good. At the time, the lower portion OF
the reservation was coveted BY
the residents of Sun River
as it comprised some of the best timbered
lands in the valley. The military have all
their wood cut in the mountains and had
no use for this timber, and as far as we
krow have made no use of it up to the pre-
sent time. DR.. Town in his report to the
surgeon general stated that the land was
totally unfit for agricultural purposes, ane
the soldiers had tried, but failed, to raise
garden produce. In spite of all this, how
ever, and the very evident fact that, be-
ing cut off by the river on one side, which
forms the boundary line between Levi;
s. Clark and Choteau counties, the people
really needed the land to extend and
build up the valley, General Gibbons re-
port was accepted rs conclusive evidence
that the reservation should not be cut
down. We trust that Major Maginnls
will be more successful this time, and We
feel assured that he will.
