While Congress is discussing the
subject of irrigation we suggest that
Montana offers the best field in the
United States for the practical appli-
cation of this aid to agriculture. For
there is no state in the so-called arid
belt where streams of water are so
plentiful. There is no state where
irrigation may be so easily accomp-
lished and where the area of irrigable
territory is so vast nor so full of
promise. The Missouri and Yellow
stone rivers and their strong tribu-
taries are natural reservoirs where
abundant supplies of water may be
carried to adjoining plains at nomi-
nal expense, and the parched lands
will be turned into blossoming gar
dens.

last Monday afternoon, and the house
Immediately went into committee of
the whole to consider the bill.
The bill was amended in several
particulars. One of these makes the
dividing line between Meagher and
Cascade counties the main range of
the Belt mountains, and leaves a
slice of territory down in the eastern
part Of Meagher county which will
in course of time fall to Fergus coun-
ty. The original bill made no pro-
vision for Cascade county to assume
a portion of the debt of Meagher, in
return for the segregated strip. II
was amended so as to provide fol-
that.

favor of the measure:

vicinity OF the golc'DearihS peit,
however, that the particles Of gold
are large and plentiful enough to
repay working under present con-
ditions. Where a stream heads in
the gold belt the richest diggings
are likely to be near its extreme
upper part. In this upper part the
current is so swift that the lighter
material and the finer gold are
carried away, leaving in many
places a rich deposit of coarse gold,
overlain by coarse gravel, the peb.
bles being so large as to hinder
rapid transportation by water.
WHERE IT IS PROFITABLE.
ut is under such conditions that
the diggings which are now being
worked are found, with some un-
important exceptions. The rich
gulches of the Forty-Mile district
and Of the Birch Creek district. as
well as other fields of less import
ance, all head in the gold.bearing
formation.
"a short distance below the
heads of these gulches the stream
valley broadens and the gravels
contain finer gold more widely
distributed. Along certain parts
of the stream this finer gold is con-
centrated by favorable currents
and is often eprofitably washed,
this kind of deposit coming under
the head of 'bar diggings.' The
gold in these more extensive gray.
els is often present in sufficient
quantity.to encourage the hope of
successful extractions OF some fu-
ture time, when the work can be
done more cheaply and with suit
able machinery. The extent of
these gravels which are of pos
sible value, is very great. f.
at may be stated, therefore, as
q general rule, that the profitable
gravels are found in the vicinity
Of tie gold bearing rock.
"The gold-bearing belt forms
range of low mountains, and on
the TANKS Of the mountains, to the
northeast and to the southwest,
lie various younger rocks which
range in age from carboniferous to
very recent tertiary, and are made
up mostly of congomerates, sand
stones and shales, with some vol
canic material. These rocks were
formed subsequent to the ore de-
position, and therefore do not con-
tain metaliferous VEINS.
"They have been partly derived,
however, from detritus worn from
the gold-bearing belt daring the
long period that it has been ex-
posed to erosion, and some of them
contain gold derived from the
more ancient rocks and concen-
trated in the same way as is the
gold in the present river gravels.
In one or two places it is certain
that these conglomerates are real
ly fossil placers and this source of
supply may eventually turn out to
be very important"
