FERGUS COUNTY.

Montana, noted for unsurpassed pro-
ductive valleys, mountains rich in prec-
ious minerals. and grazing ranges SUI
perior To those OF any state or territory
in the Union, has no portion of its vast
area confined within the boundaries of
any one county, that for diversity OF
resources and productions can com
pare with that constituting the county
that has its birth the lst day of Decem-
Der, 1856. For productive agricultural
lands in the south and eastern por-
tions we can point to the valley of the
Musselshell and all tributaries head
ing in the Snowy and Judith noun
tains, the most of the land border
ing said streams now being held As
homestead and pre-emption claims
and no small amount under cultiva-
ton.
In the north and western portions is
the Great Judith Basin, fertile extern
sive area, watered by a hundred
streams of pure, swift running water,
all having their source in the Snowy
and Belt mountains, from any one OF
which water can be conveyed on to the
table lands in sufficient quantity for
agricultural purposes, and at n nominal
cost. Two or three companies have

Al. l.
other year or two vegetables and cere-
ais will be growing to the enrichment
of county and people, where hereto
fore but natural grass have tlourished.
The Judith and Wolfe creek valleys
contain thousands of acres of as fine
agricultural land as lays ont Of doors.
and the times is fast approaching when
the greater portion of it will be under
cultivation.
The new county, fortunately is well
supplied with timber, growing rs it
does, most luxuriantly on every noun
tain and knoll that surrounds the Ba-
sin, while the banks of the large
streams are lined with heavy growth
of cottonwood and ash. This assures
"A sufficient supply of timber for home
consumption and together with the ex-
tensiye coal fields known tn exist in
and around the Judith mountains.
there will be no scarcity of fuel for
years to come, il ever. The available
portion Of the county suitable for cat
tie and sheep ranges are numerous
and extensive, while the coolies, ra-
vines and gulches in the mountains.
furnish unsurpassed protection for
