The three companies operating In
the North M%occasin mountains are
pushing development work actively
and from all the properties undergo
ing exploitation the most gratifying
results are being obtained. On the
WalldOrf-D Draper groupfour prospect
ing tunnels nre being driven, in two
of which good bodies ofore have been
encountered. In "B" tunnel OF their
workings, which Is on the Santiago
claim, ON the mountain Immediately
above the town OF Kendall, ore has
been found all along the last eighty
feet ofdriving. This tunnel haspene-
trated the hill 10 feet, the last eight
feet Of which Is all in ore. The very
granular composition OF the ore In
this tunnel makes IL I'M exceptionally
fine teaching ore and the values are
sufficiently high to insure a good
profit from milling II, general samples
Of the ore averaging about $50 per
ton. The greatest depth In the hill
will have been reached when the tun-
mel IL driven 100 feet, and from that
point prosecuting To the lime foot
wall will begin. "A" tunnel, which
Is also on the Santiago claim, 2O0feet
north of ''B" tunnel, has been driven
100 feet and shows ore all along the
last eighteen feet. The ore In this
tunnel Il much harder than that in
"B" tunnel and strongly resembles
the ores of the Barnes group immedi.
ately ON the north. The values, too,
are somewhat g%reaterin these harder
ores, ranging from IS to Sl2 per ton.
A shaft ON the mountain above "a"
tunnel shows nine feet of ore. This
shaft IL los feet from the present face
of the tunnel and If the ore proves to
be continuous here it will have a
thickness of l25 feet. The syndicate
bonding these properties coDtem-
plates the erection of n milling plant

has been shown to justify 1t, and the

Americas crack wing shots who went
10 England some weeks ago to compete
with a British team at trap shooting
didn't find even common amusement,
and the Englishmen have always been
considered great sportsmen and fine
shots. The superiority of the Ameri-
cans is evident when Captain Marshall
says that the poorest Shot in the Amer
lean team was better than England's
crack shot. 1t finally became necessary
TO give the B%ritishers two shots to the
American teams one before a match
could be made. The English team adj
mitted that they learned a good many
things about trap shooting that they
never dreamed of before. As usual the
'Nanks" take the lead.

Next Monday, July LIST, the war taxes
will be reduced, as nearly as can be
estimated, to the extent of s45 ,O00, 900 a
year. Notwithstanding this reduction
it is predicted that there will be a r
plus for the coming fiscal year Of $780,
100000. The favorable crop conditions,
the fast expanding foreign trade and
the gradual reduction of army expenses
are the factors upon which reliance is
placed for making this estimate. The
financial and commercial standing of
this country exceeds all others, and
there is every promise that it will con-
tinue indefinitely unless an attempt is
made to radically change the policies
which have sent us to the forefront Of
all competitors in the race for the
worlds supremacy.

ROAD WORK N FERGUS COUNTY.

At the time of the passage of the new
road law last winter. known as the
''Geiger law" il was seriously doubted
by the ARGUS and other newspapers of
the state as well as county commission
ers and those conversant with road
matters whether its provisions We're
adapted TO a community as sparsely
settled as Montana. The attempt to
put the law into effect has proven the
fears TO have been well founded. II is
quite safe to assert that in not one of
the twenty-six counties of the state
have the officers been enabled to find
men to take hold of the work and
prosecute it as contemplated by the
statute. The law may work all right
in California but Montana is not yet
thickly settled enough to have it
adapted for this section.
The Great Falls Tribune, in the
course of a general review of road
affairs in Cascade county, says that the
commissioners of that county have not
been able to secure a full board of
trustees in any M of the seven dis
tricts. The Tribune adds that only in
Fergus county has the icy law been
applied with any of success.
! That in twenty-five of the thirty-three
districts of this county trustees have
been secured and the road business is
in a fair way TO be taken proper care
of, is principally due to the intelligent
efforts of County Clerk Kelly. Mr..
Kelly, assisted by the county attorney
aud others, studied the law, determined
upon the wisest course TO pursue, the
commissioners named trustees, the
clerk took immediate measures to have
elections held and having f~amiliarized
himself with the laws provisions, i'm
pressed upon others the necessity OF
compliance Herewith. The net result
is as stated. In twenty-five districts
the trustees elected have qualified and
in three other districts men will qualify
within a few days. The commissioner,
Monday transferred $4,000 from tn,
general fund to the road fund and ther
distributed it equally amony the dis
tricts, giving 5000 to each district. Tn,
trustees are charged with the collec
ton of road taxes from the residents
therein and with the fund provided an,
the revenue to be gained from hea,
taxes they should be enabled to prose
cute the work. Last year, beside tn
revenue received from the road la
levy and that collected from per capiti
taxes, the commissioners transferred a
much again. or about $4,000, from tn
general fund to the road fund. Thi
will not be possible under the new law
OF the money derived from road Ia.
one-half is distributed among the di:
tricts and the balance remains in a fun
/, to be drawn upon by the COMMISSION
ers for special work, such as bridges
, etc. What additional amount is re
t, quired in any district must be raise
by special tax.
Having accepted the place the tru'
, tees should thoroughly study the law
referring questionable points to Nj
Kelly and endeavor to intelligently al
ply its provisions to local needs.
