Mr. Spruille Braden. assayer in charge
of the government Office here, returned
last evening from three weeks trip to
the different mining sections of the Terri
tory, undertaken in pursuit of statistics
and data regarding the mineral production
and resources of Montana. MIR. Braden
has instituted this canvass to obtain accu-
rate information on this point, which he
will forward to Washington to be en-
grated in the report of the Director of the
Mint He has met with great success in
his quest, but the limited time allowed
him in which to collect the required
data precluded the possibility of his visit
ing in person every mining district in the
Territory. His report must be in Washing
ton by May 10Th next, and in order to OBJ
tain the fullest possible information up to
that date Mr.. Braden has sent blanks to
various parties throughout the Territory,

THE GOLD FEVER.
Resident. of Nissoula in search of
Traditional Placer Grounds.
( NIissoula Times.


A number of citizens struck out rather
quietly Sunday night on a prospecting ex-
pedition. In the party were f. II. Woody,
W. II. H. Dickinson, T. j. Demers, Frank
Keim and, we believe, J r. Latimer. They
took the train for Sand Point Idaho, and
thence they followed the river to old kalis-
pei mission. Ten horses were shipped
from Ravali to Sand Point, and four la
borers were taken along, as well as COM
plete mining and camping outfit.
1t seems that years ago an irrigating
ditch was dug at Kalispel mission to water
a garden. Gradually the running water
cut its way to bedrock, and the few for
tunate people at the mission were startled
to find any quantity of glittering gold ex-
posed to their bewildered eyes. They
forthwith proceeded to take all they want
ed, and then, not wishing to be disturbed
in their peaceful seclusiOn by the rampant
stampeder, summarily filled up the gulch.
Soon after the mission was abandoned and
the discovery was never reported, or, if So.
the story was looked upon as myth and
disregarded But one of the Indians who
was at the mission is still alive, and has
been employed by T. j. Demers. This
Indian has let the cat out of the bag at
last. The stories he has told of the tabu-
lous riches exposed in that old ditch have
resulted in the fitting out of the expedi-
ton referred to. When Judge Woody and
the other stampeders will return nobody
knows-probably when they get the
legendary ditch open and find nothing
in it.

The Wool Crop.

In talk with Mr.. Babson to-day re-
porter learned something of the prospects
of the wool business of our Territory this
year, as seen from his standpoint. Mr..
Babson represents the Boston House of
Brown & Williams, formerly Waiter Brown
& Co.. who do large business every year
in Montana WOODS. The gentleman says
there has been something of fall in the
prices lately. but he does not think the
present conditions likely to last long. He
anticipates a large trade in our Territory
this year, and is one Of the early birds
among the flock of wool buyers who annu-
ally visit the country. He thinks the prices
will be about the same this year as last
ranging from Is to 20 cents. There is al
ways an active demand for Montana woods
in Eastern markets, and our golden feeces'
will doubtless sustain this year their pre-
vious reputation for fine texture and quail

,nand there would be i6r brick this year.

ott about $4,000 brick every day and have
facilities for increasing the capacity OF the
Yards should the demand require it."
"How will this years consumption COM
pare with that of 1852" asked the re-
porter.
"Well," said Mr. Kessler, last year
Helena used about 100000, as near as l
can Judge. This year the indications are
that the consumption will be much greater
say from four to five millions.
