favored region and seeing the Thousand

cannot fail to lie impressed with the vast
amount of the work which has been done
by the miners of Barker during the last
ten years.
The rocks containing these mines are
GRANTEES, sienites, porphyries, limestone
and variegated argillaceous shales. The
mines are in crevice veins, contact veins,
veins Of segregation and blanket veins,
aud these veins are so numerous that
prospectors have found but little difficulty
in discovering new prospects every year
since the first was discovered.
These veins are filled with ores Of iron,
manganese, copper and lead, all Of which
carry gold Or silver Or both. The most oi
them are smelling ores, which have

for their several purposes. To the first
who want range stock would say, go to
the broken regions of western and por-
tions of northwestern Montana where the
nature of the country is such that you
can never he driven out by the oppressive
farmer and fruit grower. Sheep have to
he herded. There is still plenty Of room
in Northern Montana, especially in the
foothill regions Of the Rockies and its
numerous spurs for many thousands of
sheep. There is also unlimited room in
tile regions already mentioned. For gen
eral farming and stock raising combined
almost any part Of Northern Montana is
excellent, from the Milk river valley
northward and westward. There are still
some very choice locations for this pur-
pose within q radius Of thirty miles Of
Great Falls; the best direction to seek for
such lands from Great Falls is south,
along the foothills Of the Belt noun
tains and the next best land is northwest
in the direction Of the Teton river. In
fact, much of the finest natural hay land
have seen in Montana is situated be-
tween Great Falls and the valley Of the
Teton. Those who prefer fruit growing
will find grand and paying opportunity
before them. They can find good loca-
tions all over the state, but Central and
Northern Montana are, SO far as can see
or hear, best adapted to their needs.

try late in the fall or winter. Wait till

high bench lands two and half miles
from Great Falls and got yield Of TWEEN
ty bushels to the acre Of plump fife wheat.
This land, SO far as can see, is not un-
like millions of acres in this northern
country. While my grain was growing
and ripening, hundreds of people, the
most of whom were skeptics, visited the
field and Went away with changed views
as regards upland wheat farming. Had
last year been like the two preceding
years, Il yield Of forty bushels to the acre
would have been secured from this field.
l sowed it the last part Of February and
the very first of March, rolling the ground
thoroughly; and to this | attribute my
success of raising u cropo wheat during
an almost unparalleled drouth.
A GRAIN GROWING EMPIRE.
1t is my belief that thorough cultiva-
tion of the ground, early sowing and roll

Many of the prospects in Barker have
been so developed as to prove them per-
manent and valuable mines; others show
such large bodies of rich ores as to invite
liberal investments, and hundreds of
others show prospects bright enough to
induce further development.
Barker has an abundant supply of pure
water and more good timber than any
other mining district in eastern Montana
and will soon be in railroad connection
with the great coal fields of Sand Coulee,
and Belt, and Otter creeks, and perhaps
those Of the Jud:itll Basin. A prosperous
future is dawning upon this favored dis
trict. Capital will be drawn to its rich
mines and bright prospects; the pick and
shovel will convert hundred bright pros
poets into productive mines, and the min
ers who have remained steadfast through

ducc large crops without irrigation. while
the valleys will not. This is due tot the fact
that the soil Of the former is rendered
mellow and POROUS from its mixture with
sand, while that of the valleys is generally
heavy with clay. which dries quickly un-
der the influence Of the sun and winds.
HOW TO SUCCEED.
The man who is careless in his farming
and who is too slow to take advantage of
early sowing will not succeed as bench
land farmer in northern Montana; but
he who prepares his land carefully for
the seed and sows as early Ms the season
will permit. will seldom fail to harvest
an excellent crop. Rust aud blight,
which are the curse Of Minnesota wheat
fields, are unknown here, and the harvest
season OF Montana could not be i'm
proved. M-.-...-.. .m....
As TO IRRIGATION.
Irrigation will certainly be a valuable
adjunct to farming. as it will greatly in.
crease the hay crop and all other farm,
Great Falls tribune., 1890-01-11

products; but in my opinion, the growing
Of grain without irrigation, upon the
bench lands Of northern Montana, will
soon become most extensive and profit
able branch of farming. The wheat pro-
ducing area is constantly moving west;
and when the millions of acres Of fertile
lands IN ais northern empire are occu.
pied by farmers, gram gro sing will be-
come as important an industry as it has
ever been in the Mississippi Valley; and,
owing to the peculiar composition Of our
soils, it will be vastly more permanent.

think the new press-.irill is just what is
needed in seeding these rich uplsnds Of
sandy loan. Wheat, especially in this
country, needs firm bed and the ground
SO pressed around 1t as to leave in undis-
turbed by the winds. 1t is d great mis-
take to suppose that frequent rainfalls
during the summer, are necessary for the
successful growth Of the cereals. The
surest wheat lands on this continent, in
my judgment, are the semi-arId. The
rains We usually have from the last of
May to the first Of July, render eighteen
million acres Of land in Northern Mon
tana among the very best wheat producing
regions Of the United States; and as to
this, believe the verdict Of time will be
In my favor. The June rains seldom fail
us. and the soil Of the bench lands Of this
country Is such that sufficient moisture Is
retained throughout the wheat growing
period. AsI hare repeatedly stated 10
my communications On grain growing,

the dark years now coming to close, will

and honest labor rewarded.
Such are the mining districts of the
Little Belt mountains, and such the
mines in the Bigger district the Yogo

Williams camp, the Dry Wolf district. the
Neihart district and the Barker district.
And all these mines were discovered in
some ten years in . range of mountains

mining camps of the Little Belt range:
BRIGHT PROSPECTS,.
Unlike the Belt mountains, the Little
Belt range is more noted for its quartz
mines than for its placers. While few
placers only have been worked and these
with moderate success, some Of the quartz
discoveries are sO well known as to en-
list the investment of capitalists and at
tract the attention Of railroads. One road
is now laying its rails towards Neihart, to
aid in the development and share in the
profits of the rich and extensive mines in
that district. The principal mines az
yet discovered IN the Little Belt noun
tains are at Niehsrt, ON Dry Wolf, on
Running Wolf, at Togo, In the bigger
district, At Williams camp and at Rarker.

CLAIR.

This is an important town OF Cas-
cade county and Northern Montana,
and situated at the gateway of the
great Chestnut valley on the Missouri
river, IS miles south of Great Falls
and on the opposite side of the river
from Cascade. station on the Great
Northern r. r. Chestnut valley is
about six miles wide on the average
and 20 miles long, made up Of the
richest of land. Ordinarily the
seepage of the Missouri river, furn-
ishes irrigation sufficient to raise 10
bushels of oats, 500 bushels of pota-
toes or SO bushels of wheat to the
acre. Besides the small streams that
water the higher land, the Chestnut
valley ditch, taken from the river at
the Gate of the Mountains will put
100000 acres of land under water next
year, and with the growth of Great
Falls, thousands of people must be
fed from the products coming from
st. Clair ranches.
St. Clair, like the balance Of the
towns whose outlet is Great Falls, is
young, having been plated late in the
season of 1888 by ]. Nj. Erskine,its pres
ent owner. immediately after the
plats were made great many lots
were bought up by outsiders, but
owing to the backward season, there
was not the amount of improvements
made that was expected. However,
plans are already matured for large
amount of building in the early part
of the season of 1890 All who know
st. Clair and the surrounding coun-
try take positive ground that large
and thriving town must be built up
there in the next few years. The
very large randhes, now owned by
stock men, will be cut up in smaller
farms to accommodate the coming
people. St. Clair has a bright and
near future.
Instead of going to Florida resorts

pie would do we'll to come to Great

BENCH LAND FARMING.
Mr.. Gibson Gives his Experience In Growing
Grain on the Bench Lands.

The capacity of the high prairies, or
bench lands, of Northern Montana to
produce large crops Of grain without irri.
cation is rs yet but little understood.
During the last seven years, have car
ried on series Of experiments upon these
bench lands, which have produced the
most satisfactory results; and am now
thoroughly satisfied that, as a grain grow
ing country, Northern Montana will take
very high rank. ....-.,.-.-
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.

seven years, from thirty to two hundred
