THE FERTILE MISSOURI SLOPE

Editor Hanson of the Wilton News,
inspired by waving wheat fields, toss
ing corn, and other of natures bounti-
full gifts to the Missouri slope farmer,
says: -
There is probably no other locality
in the west that has been favored toSa
greater extent than has the Missouri
Slope. This is especially true of Bur
leigh, Mclean. Mercer and Oliver
counties. These are situated on the
east and west side of the river and in
close proximity to what is commonly
known as the big Bend of the Mis-
souri," Here the soil is unusually
heavy and the rainfall, while not ex-
c~essive,. is moderately adequate to in
sure an abundant crop every year. The
grain fields of this section r beauti-
full to the eye of the traveller and awe
inspiring to the sojourner who comes
from more distant and arid parts.
There are few spots on this continent
where the moderate rainfall and elm
attic conditionsAsustain a uniform
and healthy growth, { Of both grains
and grasses, than here.
The diversified pursuits enable the
farmers of the slope to market the
varied products of their farm and
range at different seasons and thus the
labor involved is more uniformly dis:
tributed* through the year. The
farmer who wisely has a few head ot
stock can probably spend the winter
months in an easy, yet industrious
manner, while those who depend more
largely on small grain, mother sec
tions of the country, have time hang
heavily ON their hands without any APP
parent income. Time is money al
ways and everywhere, and there is nc
better illustration of this fact than on
the farm of an Industrious Missouri
slope resident.
The transportation facilities which
have heretofore been somewhat meagre
have, through the efforts OF Senator
w. D. Waslburn and the B., VIZ G.
r. Ry.< Co, Of which the senator is the
principal promoter, made it possible
for the thrifty and Industrious Mis-
souri, slope farmer and ranchmant to be
able, this fall, to market the product
of their industry without being sub
jected to the hardships, and p~rivations
which have been}th Il Experience Of for
mer years. The work now inprogress
is the theme of every conversation in
dulged in by the old-time residents OF
both the east and west side Of the
river. The era of prosperity for the
slope is upon is and every day an
eagerness is displayed by eastern part
les, who are in search of homes, to be-
come located here in the beautiful and
fertile valley OF the great Missouri
river. + y " ~

PLACER MINING

ALEXANDER M'KENzIE TELLS
SOMETHING ABOUT PLACER
MINING IN THE ALASKAN COLD
FIELDS.
ST.. Paul Globe: Placer mining
formed the subject OF some very inter
esting remarksslast night by Alexander
Mckenzie, the North Dakota politi-
clan, who is at present making his
headquarters in this city at the Mer-
chants hotel. Like almost all others
who have had to do with ilching the
white and yellow metals from the
bosom of Mother Earth, Mr.. Mckenzie
is bound to the occupation by that I'M
explainable magnetism which it seems
to exert and finds no greater pleasure
when a little leisure time is at his
command, than to sit down and discuss
theories new and old concerning this
great industry. He lis one of, those
who though not o. engaged in prob
ing the earth for gold or silver, keeps
steadily apace with the progress Of the
mining world and is the originator of
some very advanced ideas upon the
subject of placer mining.
so many miners contend that
wherever placer deposits exist they are
washing from some neighboring
LEDGE said Mr.. Mckenzie to a group
OF friends at the hotel. II am con-.
WINGED" he continued, that placer
and stone fssure deposits I not iden-
ticaL, and that placer gold does not
necessarily come from any ledge. Ages
Since placer gold wa deposited In the
hills or at their base by the action Of
nature and quite Independent from any
ledge formation. AS the waters tore
their waysthroughst he hills these min
ute particles were disintegrated by the
wash of the water. and the sands and
carried to the lower sand areas. It is.
almost universal for placer miners to
follow3up the streams where they find.
placer gold in the dellsive hope OF lo-
eating the mother lode from which
they imagine the placer comes. But
can anyone recall a single instance in
which this fond hope ever bore fruit?
&S"I am satisfied after thirty years of
close observation and study that placer
deposits are and have always been
tirely distinct from what is technically
known as ledge matter. That is,
where gold is found in quartz or gram
lite formations. You may say that my
theory is not correct, but can you dis
prove it? + am satisfied it is more
than a theory, that it is, in a word, a.
fact beyond dispute"

Commissioner Kelsey Makes State
ment About Far Grounds.

The county commissioners say that the
statement that they refused to allow
the fair grounds to be used for a state
fair as requested by the projectors of
the movement is a mistake
Scott Kelsey, chairman of the board.
said this morning: "A committee asked
if the state fair association to be form
ed could secure the use of the fair
grounds for five years with the privilege
of having the grounds for ten years We
took no official action but we all signi-
fed our willingness to allow the COM
pany the grounds for five or ten years
and We gave the committee to under
stand that such was the case. We
have never at any time refused the use
of the fair grounds for any such purpose.
We did, however, refuse to spend $4,000
of the county's money to build a grand
stand. The old grand stand was in
sured for $1,000 and that insurance
money and all money received as insur-
ance on buildings in the fair grounds
that have burned has been expended in
making repairs on the other buildings.
