AGRICULTURE.

Great Falls is the metropolis of that vast region which
extends from the main range of the Rocky mountains to the
western boundary of Dakota. This extensive region is the
garden spot of Montana. 1t is low in elevation and is watered
by the Missouri and its tributary streams. This vast area is but
little traversed or broken by mountain ranges. 1t is divided
into valleys and bench lands. The leading feature of this part
of Montana is extensive table lands, which have been found
within the past few years to be well adapted for the production
of wheat, as in Dakota and Minnesota, without the aid Of
irrigating canals or bitches. It is now a settled fact that vast
stretches of bench or table lands in this part of Montana will
produce, one year with another, wheat averaging from 25 to SO
convinced of the productiveness of Cascade county (of which
Great Falls is the seat, that in the fall of 1887 it directed that
no entries under the desert land act should perceived therefrom.
Farmers who take up and occupy these lands cannot only
raise large crops of grain and vegetables, but they can, from the
unlimited summer and winter pasturage, make stockgrowing
an important branch of their business. These valuable lands
can, to a large extent, be taken up under the presumption and
homestead laws, some of the choicest tracts being within Is to
20 miles of Great Falls, the coming milling center of Montana.
The soil of the bench land, produces, in its wild state,
abundant grasses. 1t is mellow and well mixed with silica, the
grist of the mountains so essential to the rapid growth of
grain and the retention of moisture.
adapted for diversified farming. Although northern Montana
is in a high latitude, the climate is SO Influenced by winds from
the Pacific ocean that its mean temperature IN winter Is about
the same as that Of central Illinois. It has periods of intense
cold, but they are of short duration. The weather is warm in
summer and brings crops rapidly to maturity. The nights are
rendered cool by gentle mountain breezes. The average
rainfall is sufficient for general agriculture.
In brief. the farmer who comes to settle in the country
around Great Falls will find cheap lands, a fertile soil, abundant
water, good climate, ample railroad communication, aid a
growing home market in Great Falls and the mining regions
with which it is connected by railroad. The country is now
being settled up rapidly. Land which could be had for a few
dollars per acre is now held at $40 and upwards.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-02-18
TRIBUTARY MINING FIELDS.

Adjacent and tributary to Great Falls are some of the
richest mining fields Of Montana, now brought into prominence
by the advent of the Manitoba railroad.
At our very doors is the greatest coal field of the territory,
extending from Smith river to Belt creek, a distance Of 60 miles,
and proven to be the best coal yet found in the northwest. In
this same region unlimited quantities of iron ore of the most
valuable kind is to be found, while in the adjacent mountains
(the Little Belt) valuable mines of gold, silver, copper and lead
have been developed and their value fully proven. Nature
seemed to have grouped these minerals in lavish supply near
the cataracts of the Missouri, where the power for their
successful treatment on a grand scale. is available. There is
not an essential factor lacking; waterpower, coal, silver and
gold ores, copper, lead, iron and limestone the full complement
in successful ore reducton-are all at hand and in unfaning
supply, thus marking Great Falls as the natural center for this
important industry.
The w%ell-known mining, camps of Neihart, Clendenin. Yogo
and others, in the Little Belt mountains, are within 60 miles of
Great Falls, and before the close of another year will be
connected by rail with this cty-a result that will at once
render them active, prosperous, important mining centers.
Their advancement thus far has been somewhat checked
because of lack Of transportation facilities, but the Montana
Central railroad, now advancing toward them, will supply this
and every other want.
Besides these mineral fields, the Montana Central railroad
renders Marysvlle, Rimini and, in fact, Butte itself tributary
to Great Falls, and all of these districts will contribute their
quota to the reduction works to be established at this place
the future Denver of Montana, as regards its relation to the
mineral wealth Of the territory.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-02-18

Underlying the coal of this region, and as extensive as the
coal itself, is found carbonate of iron, or what is commonly called
blackboard iron ore. This iron ore is of a superior quality, and
when taken in connection with the bog iron and magnetic iron
ores of this section will form a strong combination for the
manufacture of steel and iron. There are few If any other
places on this continent where water-power, coal, iron and
limestone, all in unlimited supply, are found grouped together.
resources is found in a spot SO easy of access by railroads and
SO near to the mines of gold, silver and copper, can it be
doubted that, with the ample railroad facilities now being
established, it will become the most important center in the
west for treating ores and the seat of hourshing industries.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-02-18
COAL.

The falls of the Missouri are Of far greater value than they
otherwise could be, because OF their proximity to the great
Sand Coulee coal fields, which stretch along the base of the
Belt mountains for go miles. The most important point for the
working of this field is distant but eight miles from Great Falls.
To this point the Sand Coulee & Belt Mountain branch of the
Montana Central railroad is being built, and by the last of
February, 1888, it will be ready for the transportation of coal.
Preparations are being made by the Montana Central and
Manitoba railroad companies for mining this coal on an
extensive scale, and within 10 months 800 men will be
employed.
The Sand Coulee coal is wholly unlike the Ignite of eastern
Montana and western Dakota, it being true bituminous coal.
In thickness the veins vary from Sto 20 feet, and are divided into
coking and steam coal. The coking coal varies in different
localities from to 5 feet in thickness. The steam coal produces
an intense heat, and as it burns with a tall, steady fame, it is
especially fitted for the roasting Of ores and the making of
steam. As the railroad grade from the mines to Great Falls is
slightly descending, coal can be delivered at the smelling works
at an exceedingly low price.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-02-18
n WATER-POWER.

Of the many resources at Or near Great Falls, none equal in
Importance the falls of the Missouri.
In amount Of available power, in their absolute safety from
undermining and receding, in the ample space they afford for
large manufacturing enterprises, these falls have no equal in
the United States.
From the head Of the rapids to the foot of Crooked falls
alone, the descent is 200 feet. The river bed being Of solid
sandstone, dams can be made at any point desired and at
comparatively small expense.
The available fall, with the construction of dams, at Black
Eagle is SIS feet, at Golfers 80 feet, and at the Rainbow falls rs
feet:
As the Missouri river takes its rise in permanent mountain
springs, its volume is but little affected by dry seasons. This
is a most important consideration, as it will insure an abundant
supply Of power to mill owners at all times.
No accurate measurement has yet been made of the power
to be obtained at these falls, but it is certain that it cannot be
less than OO,OO0horse-pow
The falls of the Missouri are situated in a region Astounding
in natural resources. In order to employ this water-power in
various industries, it is not necessary to haul any Of the raw
material long distances.
Coal, iron and limestone are found in almost inexhaustible
simply within 10 miles of the falls, while the mountains bearing
gold, silver, copper and lead are distant only SO to rs miles. As
the altitude of Great Falls is much lower than any of the mineral
producing districts tributary to it, the railroad grades are all in
it's favor.
Tt is safe to assert that at no other spot on the continent are
all the conditions as favorable for the treatment Of ores as at
Great Falls; and here, as the result, will be established the
western center for reducing and refining gold and silver ores,
the smelling of copper ores and the preparation of its product
for industrial purposes, and also the manufacture of steel and
of iron.
The plans for the development of the waterpower at Black
EAGLE falls. and for the establishment Of reduction works on an
extensive scale are now being perfected.
Around these great Industries other smaller manufacturing
enterprises will be grouped. FIGURING mills, wooden mills and
naner mills will be established here, as we grow the raw material
all about us.
Thus. in the milling, smelling and refining Of ores, the
manufacture Of -four and the building of machinery, will
thousands of men be employed, and Great Falls in a short
time will take it's place among the prominent industrial centers
of the land.
The product of the mineral districts of the surrounding
mountains viii come down the valleys to the falls of the
Missouri as naturally and as surely as does the wheat from the
wheat fields Of Minnesota and Dakota to the falls Of Saint
Anthony at Minneapolis.
