wAsHINGToNToAN AND TRUST BUILDING, WASHINGTON,
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1897-02-10

Last week two Boston mining
men representing syndicate,
came to Montpelier and hiring a
buggy went over to Garden City to
look at some promising claims in
that section with a view of buying.
Anent this it might be well to say
that mining property al over Bear
Lake county is looking fine under
development work, especially at
st. Charles and Nounan, and some
good prospects will be developed
into mines by spring. Whether
the mining men above referred to
made a deal or not we were unable
to learn.
All Of the purchasable stock
cattle in and about Bear Lake
county, have been bought up by
cattle buyers and good prices given
therefor. The Rock Springs and
other buyers from the east are now
coming in to purchase beef for
their towns and before spring
every stockraiser in this valley
will have sold all that he cares to
let. go. This in connection with
good prices for grain has made
the rancher's and farmers path a
pretty smooth one this winter.
They are in better shape fnanci-
ally than for many years past.
Old settlers claim that the win
ters for ten years past have been
gradually getting milder each year,
there being less snow in January
and February and more rain in
April and May. The reason for
this 10 not APPARENT, unless it be
that tilling of the soil has ten
deney to lessen the snow falls, in.
winter and increase rain falls in
the spring. The winter, 50 for, is
the nlildest known in this valley.
Big acreage ought to be sown
during the coming season i'll Bear
Lake valley. All indications point
to a good market for farm produce
next year and big crop will mean
plenty of money for Bear Lake
farmers. The SHOWS of the past
week insure a feasoably large sup
ply of water for next season and
sure yield seems certain, barring
frosts.
