On a further exploration of the
cave which was encountered in the
workings of the Abbey claim last
week. a large body of ore has been
discovered and further development
work is now being done for the pur.
pose OF ascertaining the dimensions
OF the find. Andy Coins, who has
been working on the property for the
past three months, was in the city on
Saturday and thoroughly corroborat-
ed the report OF last week as to the
immense quantity Of cyanide ore found
in the cave
The drift struck the cave half way;
the lower half, which is Is x Is feet
in dimension. going into the bowels
of the earth for rs feet, while the up

ascertained, the upper wall OF the
cave is of lime rock. while the lower
wall is composed of cyanide ore,
which assays from 81 to Sc. The
bottom of the cave has been reached
by means of swinging ladders and as
far as gone all exploitation work has
been done in solid ore.

I wish to say one word in regard
to cooperative irrigation. There are
many sections of this state already

irrigation of their valley depends
upon some bank or large money in

to place themselves under perpetual
bondage to ditch organization

of water rental in order to make it 8

RUSSIAN THIsTLEs.
Where They Came From and Their
Value,

Recently the Russian thistle has
of newspaper articles, inspired by
the discovery" that the thistle is a
valuable article Of feed for stock, if
cut in time and properly cured. Who
the "discoverer" is does not appear,
but he considers himself entitled to
some consideration and recognition
because of the service he affects to
have rendered to the people of the
northwestern states, in which the
weed is the most abundant.
Months ago articles of the same
sort appeared in a number of papers
that came under the notice of the
Gazette, and if memory serves right
ly each of those papers claimed the
honor of having made the "discov-
cry" Of course, Russian thistles are
good for feed. That is why they have
obtained a foornold in the Dakotas
and are now spreading over Montana
and all the other northwestern states
They were introduced into the coun-
try by the Menonites, whose settle
ments exist in both the Dakotas and
from whom they receive their name
of Russian thistle, the Menonites
having immigrated from the cars
domains They brought the seed with
them and planted the weed for for
age and cured it the same as other
settlers cured their grass, and for the
same purpose. At first confined to
the fields of the Menonites, the this
tie soon got beyond their control,
and thanks to the breezes that play
across the prairies of the Dakotas
and the generous assistance of the
railroads it now has a foothold in
about every state west of the Mis-
souri,, and is still spreading and caus-
ing profanity and loss of temper
wherever it appears.
Valuable as it may be for feed, yet
those on whose land it grows would
be MORE than willing that every stem
OF it Should disappear from the earth
for, though blessing it may be consid
cred by some, it is also in the nature
of g. curse. and the good of which il
is capable is more than Offset by the
bad that goes with it.

years, and it is becoming a serious
question where the stock of the tu-
ture shall be grazed. What were
once great pastures have been set
tied on. Large sections, good ouly
for grazing. have been ruined, espe-
cially by sheep, which in many locali-
ties, by hoofs and teeth, have de-
stroyed every growth but sage brush.
AS a result of this deterioration of
the ranges it now often requires dou-
bic the number of acres to maintain
a given number of cattle or sheep as
formerly. This has necessarily made
the expense of operating much great
er, and many cattlemen have found
it advisable to give up the business.
1t is now proposed to improve
these impoverished ranges, and steps
have been taken to find grass plant
which will be luxuriant, hardy and
nutritious enough for stock purposes.
For the purposes of experiment some
5000 or 1000 acres are to be fenced
off the central range country, and
this will be divided off into small
plots where tests may be made of diff
ferent grasses. When variety has
been found which is thought will
come up to the requirements, the real
work of retaining the wasting
ranges will begin, and it is hoped
that one difficulty now solved by
stockmen will be solved"

there are many who maintain that
the oyercrowding of the ranges in
Montana will ultimately prove bene-
fetal to the state in excluding the
large stock owner and producing con-
ditions favorable to the smaller hold.

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN.
Eovmerly Despised, They Are Now

FORMERLY Despised, They Are Now
Considered a Delicacy.
Hall q century or so ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the rarest deli
cacy known to the epicurian world,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 barrel, and
laborers, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice week To
day barrel is cheap ut $500, and mil
lionaires travel hundreds of miles for
a chance to feast on this most deli.
cious of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many ,imita-
tons.
Every first class restaurant in the
country features 'terrapin IA la Mary
land' on it's menu, but in not one case
out of a hundred is the real terrapin
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Maryland's
choicest dish. Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" OF
North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. RestaurateurS
don't serve real diamona backs be
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex
coed $4,000 OF legal size. and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa

Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three

but few ever find their way across thu

INDUCEMENTS
IN MONTANA
For Settlers andi Immigrants of the
Farmer Glass Vividly Portrayed.
BY THE SAGE OF HINsDALE
Eastern People Begin to Realize the
Advantages of Montana Farm and
the Profits in This Country Com
pare Most Favorably When the
Price Is Considered.

The immigration movement to
Northern Montana is just setting in,
a considerable number of new settlers
have already arrived at Kalispell and
in the Milk river points, but the prac-
tice is to try and hold back the
Montana immigration business until
about April Is, or until our weather
is more settled.
From the tone of several of our
leading papers, stranger would ex-
pect an influx of new people such as
is now going into Washington The
conditions in Montana are entirely
different from those in that state,
and we cannot expect such move
ment, nor do l think it desirable.
What Montana wants is a steady
healthy growth, and not a boom.
Looms are invariably followed by
serious reactions and usually re-
quire several years to recover from
their effect. Regardless of the fact
that we are not securing people by
the trainload daily there is surpris
ing number Of new people arriving
in the various agricultural sections
of the state, and no one realizes this
but those travelling over the state ex-
tensively. Take men who are obliged
to make the small villages in north
ern or eastern Montana, they have
better opportunities to observe this
than those who do not do so.
1t is surprising what effect upon
business and the value of real estate
a comparatively small number of
well-to-do settlers will have. Take an
agricultural valley like the Gallatin,
Billings, Great rails, Kalispell, or
Chinook; let fifty good farmers with
means to purchase improved land ar
rive. These go out. select and pur-
chase land The raise in the value
of real estate is Immediately notice
able. These fifty will have at least
as many personal friends who will
be induced to come out within year
or two and these in turn have other
friends 1t is in this manner that
the immigration business grows. 1t
puts new life into the community and
as a general thing these new corners
will improve upon the old method OF
doing things.
Considering it from an eastern
real estate or farmers standpoint
Montana irrigated farm land is sim
ply ridiculously cheap. Land in Iowa
which produces an average or 35 OF
40 bushels of corn, worth on an aver
age 80 cents per bushel, sells readily
at SAC to $50 per acre. These aver
ages of yield and price received
which is for period of five years
would give us a total revenue of ST.
per acre. The price of producing this
crop is in the neighborhood of So pei
acre, leaving net revenue of Sc pei
acre. If the farmer is unfortunate
enough to be a renter. paying from
SO to SIS per acre, it leaves him 6

TO LOSE POWER
TO LOSE POWER.

A conference took place at the office of the
Commissioner of Bridges yesterday between
Commissioner Lindenthal and President Great
singer Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
on the question of facilitating traffic on the
Brooklyn Bridge. The idea of the Commissioner
is to extend the rush hour schedule for some
time before and after what now known as the
rush hours, thus giving opportunity for some
people to take trains a. little earlier or little
later than heretofore He thinks that with bet
ter facilities at these times large number or
persons would change the time that they regu-
larly cross the bridge.
After the conference Mr. Lindenthal remarked
that the plan still in preliminary state
He continued:
We have decided that the first thing will be to
increase the number Of trains run during the
non-rush hours by extending the rush hours
schedule, and other things will be done as rap
idly as possible. The question of permanent
solution will have to be studied out President
Greatsinger is ready TO give immediate renef
He has assured me that he is ready to do any

haitian terminal platform we'll as all other
ratings both ends of the bridge shall be re-
moved. They have been in the way. and their
removal will permit the mingling of all pas
sengers, formerly. Regarding the loops we
have reached no decision. There is a knotty
question of property involved that must be
studied out
Mr. Martin is still in charge of the bridge. but
there will he a change ] do not know just
when the change will be made.

nothing fear. He thought that the charges
made insufficient evidence but since tho
Mayor considered the affair of sufficient i'm

the citizens of New-York the information which led
him to make the statement.
LET the reformers turn the searchlight." Mr.
Croker said. '"Tammany has nothing to fear. Let
them produce the man. If they can. who offered the

Mr.. Croker expressed himself pleased that Mr.
Sullivans resolution, requesting the Mayor to fur

Board of Aldermen. but aston!shed at the way
of the fusion aldermen tried to evade the
issue.
WHY should they want to keep the facts secret?'
he inquired when. according to the Mayors pub
lfshed statement all of them in the same boat
together? But I that they will produce
no proof because l don't think they defied
