A Barker budget.

From representatives of the Barker dis
trict we learn that everything is lively in
that camp, with more work going on than
at any time in four years past. Prospec-
tors and mine are looking forward
to a good season, with rapid development
and growth for the camp. 1t is taken for
granted, as well it may be, that the branch
of the Montana Central will be extended
to Clendenin this year, a result that will
be attended with the greatest activity.
Among the mines relocated the first Of
the yearare the Emma, Donnelly, Pitts
burg, Mountain Maid, Vanderbilt and
Emerald. This short list is not complete
by any means.
The lead recently discovered by George
Allis carries gold bearing quartz that will
pay handsomely for working.
P~rospectors are now locating claims
where they lind we'll defined leads of iron
the surface as they almost invariably
lead to rich silver ore.
The patent for the Wright & Edwards
mine was received from Washington a
few days ago.

finds IFS way to the broad Atlantic.
Winter has asserted IFS sway at the
Crooked falls, but only in part. AT the
east side the waters pour down in large
volume and the vapor ascends like incense.
On he east side the frozen waters look
like serried columns of white marble
and glisten in the sun with dazzling splen-
dor. 1t is a grand spectacle and we'll re-
paysthe visit. The steps which lead down
to the foot of the falls are covered with
and the trees are arrayed in fantastic
shapes by the crystals. There is ample
play for the imagination in the surround
ing scenery with its snowy battlements
and dangerous glaces.
These observations were the result of a
sleigh ride which Messrs. Leslie, Brown
and the writer made to the falls yesterday
at the invitation of Mr.. Brady.

MONTANA SETTINGS.

The Helena Young Mems Christian
Association has 200 members.
The Northern Pacific has put on a pas
senger train from Helena to Boulder.
The Helena Herald says that a young
lady OF Helena, of a practical turn of
mind, recently received a letter from a
prospector, asking permission to name a
mine for her. AS the lode assayed $50 in
gold, the young lady at once replied that
she had no objections to his naming it
for her, but would appreciate the compli-
ment much more if he gave her a half
interest in the lead.
The Helena Caledonian club will cele-
brate Burns birthday next Wednesday
with a supper and dancing. Only 200
tickets will be issued.
The Butte Inter Mountain says that a
letter from B. c.. Kingsbury states that he

According to the Yellowstone Journal
Harris Brothers of Rosebud, have 10000
pounds of corn that they raised last sea
son on % acres. two acres of which gave
the enormous yield of 274 bushels. In
the matter of potatoes the same parties
harvested 1893 bushels from a seeding Of
$50 pounds. These are statements that
will make the eastern granger stare, and
doubt the evidence of their ewes, but
there is no gainsaying the fact that the |
valleys of eastern Montana lay over the
whole world in the matter of productive
ness.
Marysville takes the cake for the best
winter story. Hot water dripping from
the boiler and running over the top of a
red hot stove is said to have frozen and
formed icicles on the side of the stove and
on the zinc beneath.

quet Saturday next.
