continued most favorable, copious
showers having fallen during the past
10 days. Crops are looking finely, and
the farmers feel confident of even bet
ter crops than those of last year, and
the yield of 1894 was marvellous. None
of the crops have been injured by frost.
With prices rapidly advancing the
farmers of the Flathead have reason to
feel greatly elated over their prospects
and when the farmers are prosperous
all others are. Nature has not only
endowed this section with wonderful
fertility, but has provided regular sea-
sons and a sufficiency of moisture.

up as mining region. Considerable
attention is being given to placer and
already a number of companies, priv
ate and incorporated, are preparing to
work on a big scale. The Yakt Mining
& Development company. Incorporated
by mining men of Philipsburg and
Butte, is putting in hydraulic machin-
cry preparatory to making about
three months run this season. Their
property lies on the Yakt river in the
west end of Flathead county. and COM
prises more than 1000 acres. L. ID.
Farrow, the resident director and man

dend after the first run.

from the Libby creek mining district,
where he and his brother and j. III.
Gordon and N b. Nye recently pur-
chased placer ground. He is greatly
pleased with the showing, and the best

the fact that they are going ahead
with development work. They have
sent a man to Portland to buy hydrau-
lie machinery, which should arrive
force of men will be set to work on a
big ditch and doing other preliminary
work. Mr.. Thompson says there is
quite a rush into the Libby country,
and over on Fisher creek mining men
are coming in from all directions.
Large quantities of gold have been
PANIED out on these creeks, and 1t is
thought with the introduction OF inn
proved hydraulic machinery that such
quantities will be taken out as TO Gre
