years prospectors have been toiling
through the dense timber and up the
rugged mountain sides in. search of
treasure. Several have lost their lives
in the swift, treacherous waters of the
river. Others, weary with unrewarded
toll and hope deferred that maketh the
heart sick have abandoned the search,
but each year sees new recruits added to
the little army of hardy toilers who are
fighting down the obstacles that nature
has reared in their path.
Placer gold has been found on the
bars of the river, from twenty to thirty
miles above it's mouth, but not in paying
quantities. Higher up there are some
of the greatest coal veins in Montana.
But little prospecting has been done on
these measures, but from the exposed
veins it is clear that there are are vast
deposits of coal of an excellent quality.
Some of the finest specimens of copper
bearing rock have been brought in by
prospectors from this region, but the
lack of capital and the difficulty in pros
pecting in country not even provided
with good pack trail has retarded
development. Of late there has been a
revival of interest in the work of pros
pecting and developing this country and
the immediate future looks brighter.
Gold bearing rock has been found over
a wide area and the little work that has
been done has resulted in showing that
is very encouraging. Litigation has
stopped the development on some of the
best claims, but it is reported that the
trouble has been settled and this obsta-
Gle being removed, the work will be
pushed with vigor. Silver ore is also
found in many places usually, with gold
and copper.
So little work has been done on the
South Fork claims that no accurate
statement of their value can be made,
but enough is known to Justify the asser-
ton that there is an abundance of gold
and copper, and that no section of Mon
tana offers a better field for the pros
pector than the South Fork country.

So great is the area of Flathead coun-
ty that many people who have lived for
years within it's borders are not aware of
the vast extent of their own county. One
of the largest of these tracts and one
that is practically unknown is the South
Fork country.
The South Fork of the Flathead river
rises on the west slope of the main
divide of the Rocky mountains in Deer
Lodge county, it's course being little
west of north for 125 miles, to where it
joins the main Flathead river near Col
umbia Falls. For the first half of it's
course it is Il small stream, running
through narrow canyon and tumbling
over sharp descents in it's onward rush
to join the waters of the larger river
Then the valley widens -in places it is
ten miles in breadth broken by spurs
of the high mountain ranges that stand
on either side.
These mountain sides arc covered
with thick growth of timber on the

and less as you go up the river until the
mountains are nearly bare of timber,
and in many places there is excellent
summer range for stock.
The valley proper is covered with a
dense growth of spruce, fir and tamarack
trees, with here and there IA white pine
or cedar. 1t is unfortunate for the
future industrial prospects of this sec
ton that nearly all of this magnificent
timber lies in the Lewis and Clarke for
est reserve.
The trail, if the path usually travelled
be worthy the name, is rough one. 1t
runs along yawning chasms, over huge
boulders, across rushing streams, and
through glades where the sun seldom
shines.
The South Fork is the sportsman's
paradise. Here are found bear, elk, deer,
mountain goats mountain lions and a
great variety of fur bearing animals,
while no spot in all the country offers a
better field for the fisherman.
This region has long been known as a
possibility in the mining field For ten

ARE THEY AFTER TIMBER?
The Necessities of Butte and Anaconda
Likely to Benefit Kalispell.

John O'Rourk and Hank Bartlett,
both well known and leading business
men of Butte, have been looking over
Kalispell and vicinity the last few days.
Mr.. ORourk, who has the reputation of
being ready to invest his money at all
times when he can see chance of a re-
turn in profits, is not here for his health.
He is quiet and amiable. That's his
long suit. He frankly stated to re-
porter for the Bee that he liked this
beautiful country very much, and that
he would return Monday from trip to
the country around Lake Mcdonald.
He graciously declared that the rumor
that he and his associates were here to
obtain large tracts of timber land in this
section had no truth in it. Perhaps he
means this. At any rate it has been no.
ticed that the attention of capitalists is
centering here to quite an extent.
The supply of lumber is growing rap
idly less in other sections of the state,
and it cannot be very long before this
county will be called upon to supply a
large part of the timbers and lumber
used in Butte. That's the future market
for these forests. 1t is we'll known that
several train loads of mine timbers and
lumber are required daily for the mines
of Butte alone, to say nothing of tho de-
mand for lumber to be used in the con-
struction of new buildings in Butte and
Anaconda.
The latter city is sure to advance rap
idly the next two years. In fact, it may
double in population in that time, and
the demand for lumber will be greater
each day. 1t is demand which this
county will welcome, and the greater the
demand for lumber, the greater need
there will be for more transportation ia
cilities. Those who have given up hope
of a north and south railway may take
fresh courage. There are several very
good reasons for believing that such a
railway will be in active operation with
in the next few years.

WILL REMAIN IN PEKIN.
United States VIII Not Withdraw
TrOOps-President and His Ad-
visers So Determined.

Washington. Aug. 24.-The question of
the withdrawal of the Urited States
forces from Pekin to Tien Tsin or Taku
has been seriously considered by the Pres
ident and his advisers. A great deal of
pressure has been brought to bear upon
the administration TO take this step, but
after mature deliberation, it has been
determined that the negotiations for the
settlement of the questions growing out
of the disturbances in China must take
place in the Chinese capital, and that
While these negotiations are pending and
until they are completed, ii will be neces-
sary for the United States forces to re-
main in Pekin.
While it is recognized that a withdrawal
of the forces from Pel1in might be hailed
with satisfaction in this country, it is
said that the moral effect in China and
upon the Chinese would be bad and would
be interpreted by the Chinese as re-
treat.

regarded as a specimen of imperialism.
