and present appearances. Other openings
in the district are promising.
In reviewing the condition of the mines,
in the districts alluded to, the correct con-
clusion to arrive at is that the mining out
look for large part Of Beaverhead County
IS extremely flattering. Capital and ma
chinery is needed. in all Of these districts.
These mines are good and the mineral in
their veins is rich. Time, patience, perse-
verance. skillful management, money and
indomitable pluck will develop genuine
bonanzas out of what is now considered, in
many cases, only prospect holes.

Montana's greatest length, from West
to East is $40 miles, and the average width
Of the Territory is 275 miles, Its superficial
area is "a ZIG square miles, of which it is
estimated at least one-third is mountainous,
and Of which large part is mineral pro-
ducing. The watershed of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, the main range of the
Rocky Mountains, passes through the west
ern part, leaving about one-fourth Of the
Territory on what is called the Pacific
slope, and three fourths on the Eastern
slope. The mountain rivulets that 20 to
make up the headwaters Of the Missouri river
head in Beaverhead County, and thence
flow onward, uniting with the Missouri,
emptying in to the Mississippi and on to the
Gulf Of Mexico. Western Montana is ex-
ceedingly mountainous, Astounding in beau
tiful, fertile valleys Eastern Montana
breaks into long, rolling prairies, and north
and south of the Missouri river, subsidies
into vast plains Once the home Of the
red man and covered with countless thous-
ands of buffalo, but now covered with great
herds Of cattle, great bands of horses, and
numberless docks of sheep, grazing upon
the nutritious bunch and, buffalo grasses
1t has been ascertained by surveys that the
Territory contains valleys and bench lands
covering an area of $1,000 square miles, at
a less altitude than 1900 feet, while neither
of the Territories Of Idaho, Wyoming nor
Utah contain an area Of equal surface as
low as 1900 feet above the sea level. Gov
eminent reports make the mean or average
height of Montana above the sea level 1900
feet, while that of Wyoming is 6,OOO feet,
and Colorado 1000 feet. Montana possesses
an average altitude of 1890 feet less than
the other Territories mentioned, equal to
more than seven degrees of lower altitude.
Thus geographical situated Montana pos
sesses great advantages over her sister Ter
ritories.

Numerous other mine; of the district are
deserving Of extended mention. Among
the number are the Gar, Brick Pomeroy,

selle Washington AMI Pioneer lodes are
located. All Of the gold loles enumerated
above have been producing gold mines from
the earliest history Of Montana. and they
have heretofore been worked by the most
primitive systems Of mining and with crude
mining machinery.
The Bon Accord Placer Mining Company
was organized during the past summer for
the purpose Of opening and working the
bed of Grasshopper Greek below Jerusa-
lem. The company opened the ground and
took out considerable gold dust. bnt the

BLUE WING DlSlKlCI.
The Blue Wing silver district is located
about tlrcc miles east Of Bannack, and. in
direct line, about fifteen miles from Dill
Ion. The mines Of this district have yield
cd large amount of high grade shipping
ore since the date of their discovery, which
was in the spring of 1863. Before the ad-
vent of railroad the ores from the district
were shipped to the line of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad by fast and slow OK teams
Now the ores are handled much easier and
the bulk of the output of the district is
shipped from the Dillon depot. For the
past year the mines of the district have
been operated with marked success and
they have yielded handsome returns to
their fortunate owners. This district is the
largest in Southern Montana and it CON
tains large number OF good-paying, we'll
developed mines, which are being CON
stantly worked and are annually yielding
good margins of profits to their owners.
A brief review of the leading mines of the
district.will be of interest to all who are en-
gagged in quartz mining.
The Blue Wing group including the
Blue Wing and Kent veins, is one of the
Oldest discoveries in the district, and is at
present the property Of John O'Leary and
W. G. Gallagher. Last summer an immense
amount Of good grade ore was extracted
from thu Blue Wing mine, and tented
at the Argenta furnace. The Kent is Row
