ARTEsIAN WELLS.

This is a name applied to water-springs
rising above the surface by natural hy-
drostatic pressure on boring small hole
down through aseries of strata to water
carrying bed enclosed between two i'm
pervious layers.
About two weeks ago our honored
Mayor Gibson--foremost in everything
having a promise Of good to Great Falls
procured the most approved drilling ma
chinery attainable,p put up house for it
and employed experienced men to sink q
shaft on the West Side, a short distance
above where the NJ. G. X. r. crosses Sun
river, with view Of determining whether
an artesian or flowing well could be OBJ
tanned there,the dip Of the strata In the
vicinity being favorable for the expert
ment.
A visit to the place selected for this
important experiment, on Sunday morn
ing last, showed to our great satisfaction
and surprise, that the operators had al
ready sunk shaft nearly 200 feet in
depth, through cretaceous rocks, under
laid by carboniferous limestone. At q
distance of thirty feet large amount of
seepage was struck. A twelve-hundred
pound drill is used, and an average of
about thirty feet per day has been made
in sinking. 1t is hoped that an under
ground spring will be struck that will am
ply repay Mr.. Gibson for his outlay.

THE BENCH LANDS.

The finding of a large flow of water
upon the Black Eagle Falls addition near
town, and the fact that other wells have
been obtained in that vicinity by drilling
small distance from the surface, is in
dicative of great results to this country.
1t shows that nearly anywhere upon the
bench land good supply Of water can be
procured at a little expense. Upon this
land crops have been raised for five sue
cessive seasons without irrigation. There
is vast extent of country between Great
Falls and the Belt river containing rich
soil that needs only the work of the plow
to make productive. Upon such soil
thirty bushels of wheat have been grown,
and forty or fifty bushels of oats per acre
have been grown without irrigation. This
tract of country is capable of supporting
a large population. The only drawback
to it has been the fear that water for
stock might not be readily obtained. The
examples mentioned as we'll as other SIM
liar ones show there will be no trouble in
regard to getting water upon the bench
lands. Indeed, it has been demonstrated
by wells drilled in the vicinity Of town
that water is obtained more readily upon
the bench than on the low lands. There
is good geological reason for this. As
the strata of rock dip in the low lands
there is q greater accumulation of rock
there, and it is necessary to sink wells to
amuch greater depth in the hollows than
upon the benches. The LEADER there
fore confidently expects in short time
to see these fertile bench lands covered
with settlers farm houses. The old
timers may sneer as much as they please
and so may those who from selfish mo
tives wish to keep out the newcomers
Their sneers and ridicule will be in vain
The fact is inevitable that the bench
lands of Cascade county will in a few
years be covered by farmers, and it woulc
be as we'll to attempt to dam up the Mis-
souri, river and prevent its flowing onward
to the Gulf, as to shut out the tide Of i'm
migration coming on to these fertile lands

FERGUS COUNTY MINES.

VIM. Berkin, for many years resident
Of Meagher county, recently talked to
reporter Of the Helena Independent. He
said:- Fergus county, like other sections
of Montana, has made great progress in
mining matters of late. Our two most
promising mines are the Maginnis and
Spotted Horse mines, of Maiden. Both
are gold leads, and they are very valuable
producers. Granville Stuart is the super
intendent of the Maginnis mines. Both
these companies have ten stamp mills in
operation. Not long since the sum Of
$3.50, 900 was refused by the owner of the
Spotted Horse for the property. 1t takes
good mine to be worth that amount, but
the owners of that mine claim they have
that sum in sight. The Maginnis mine
carries gold and silver. The latter is
concentrated, and the concentrates sent to
Wickes for treatment. From Running
Wolf and Dry Wolf fifteen to twenty-five
teams are engaged In hauling ores to the
smelter at Great Falls.
We have some very valuable coal prop
critics In the county. On the head of Sage
creek, between Utica and Stanford, eight
coal mines have recently been taken up;
the veins will average ten feet in thick
ness, and they are all coal. Messrs. Cor
win and Barnes are the principal owners
Of these mines.
During the past summer placer dig
gings were discovered on Dry Wolf.
While the mines are not extraordinarily
rich, good wages can he made.
The Gibson mine, on Running Wolf,
shows good vein of gslena ore aud the
product of the mine is being hauled 10
the smelter at Great Falls.
From An agricultural standpoint the
condition of the country is not SO roseate
In the Judith Basin alone there are 4,OO0,-
600 bushels of oats for which there is no
market. We look for the construction of
= railroad to our county at an early day,
however, and that will prove boon to our
farmers, by giving them market for
their surplus products. We naturally
expect the Montana Central to build to
the basin. The distance from Great
Falls is some seventy miles and the road
would traverse rich coal belt and min
eral region which is becoming known as
, valuable section, while it would at the
same time penetrate as fertile farming
district ~ any In Montana.

CENTRAL POSITION OF MONTANA

Governor Leslie, in his report to the
secretary of the interior for the year 1888,
makes use Of strong language, in refer
ence to the future of Montana. He says,
In opening, II assume that Montana has
the brightest and most promising out
look of any OF the territories for the
future. There is no need for me to sound
its praises or exaggerate its advantages.
The fame of Montana has spread abroad
all over the land.' And our excellent
governor has not there INDUCED in eX-
travagapt language Or taken any fancy
flights. A crrsory glance at the map OF
the United States will disclose the fact
that Montana is the topographic center OF
the great Northwest. Lying midway be-
tween lake navigation Oh the east andthe
Pacific ocean on the west; or, more con-
cisely, between the head waters OF Lake
Superior and Puget Sound, the great
harbor of harbors on our western coast,
she must inevitably become the distribu-
ting point for this vast region. Montana,
having an area OF upwards of 143,000
ouare miles includes within her domain,
extending far toward the Pacific on the
west and on the east holding the
mighty Missouri within her grasp
the backbone of the North American
continent and contains the largest breadth
of mining, agricultural and stock-raising
lands within the limits Of the Union. We
are environed, also, by a constellation ol
sovereig gnties in embryo whose future
bids fair to rival the most famous OF the
Eastern states in all the elements of ma
terial wealth. On the east OF lis lies Da
kota. whose fame for grain producing Is
world wide. On the south we have wy
ominr and Idaho, the former OF which, II
ia claimed, is the wealthiest stock-reglor
in the Union, and of the latter it may Dt
said to possess great mining resources ane
many fertile valleys, rapidly settling III
with an intelligent and enterprlslng pop
nlation. On the west of us is the magnifl
cent territory Of Washington with hereA
haustless forests of pine and other timber
and her unparalleled ocean harhor' III
the near future inevitably. to become tht
great entrepot of the Pacific. With suci
surroundings and such home resources i
II nossible to over-estimate the import
ance of the central position of Montana
It is within year or SO that Montana ha
haen considered desirable section
country for the farmer or agrlcul'urls'
and it is already beyond successful con
troversy that her cereal and vegetaole
nroducing capacity is not excel'ed' II IL i
