DIPS. SPURS AND ANGLES.
Chas. Beary returned from the Little
Rockies this week, where he has been fol
some days looking after his mining in
terests in that section. Some four years
ago Mr.. Beary located soma property in
that district and has given it but little
attention until now. The name of bis
claim is the Royal lode and opens up a
face of four feet of free-milling gold
quartz. He brought back with him some
rich specimens of the ore from his clam
and others in the district. The whole
country is comparatively new and was
never prospected until about 1885 Since
that time great many claims have been
located and developed. Malta, the near
est shipping point, is about thirty-five
miles from the north end of the range,
and is about $50 miles from Benton. The
surrounding country offers rare induce
ments for settlement. The few ranchers
who are located there are doing we'll, and
can raise all kinds of vegetables, grain
and fruit. MIR. Beary has few samples
of the productions, among which is some
corn that equals any ever grown in the
Bitter Root valley. He also says that
everything is in bloom there now and the
grass is two inches high. Mr.. Beary is
making arrangements for the develop
ment Of his property and will return 10
that country with some Helena parties,
who intend investing in that country.
