being hunted after by many of the

ore was considered low grade owing
to the high rate for hauling and ship
ping. but now, with the prospects Of
a new smelter in sight and a railroad

trict, which were abandoned years

generally supposed that cold winters
and the absence of honey-producing
flowers and vegetation was a bar to
honey making in Montana. but Mr..
Slayton thinks differently. He says
there will be no trouble in producing
honey where alfalfa is grown. besides
there are wild flowers from which
bees secure the %saccharine necessary
for honey. With little attention given
to keeping the hives warm during
the winter there is apparently no rea-
son why Montana should not raise
honey as well as Minnesota or Iowa.

Mining Future of the Rockies.

In estimating the mineral output
of one section or state with another
It becomes apparent that each in turn
has contributed its share OF the total
receipts. and when We realize that
the Rocky mountains, with their vast
area. have barely been scratched"
to use an expression familiar to the
industry, one fairly gasps at the re-
suits that new developments will ac-
complish. That the development Of
our mineral deposits has been the
great medium through which the ex-
tensive west was populated admits Of
no doubt. Without the discovery of
minerals the west would today be a
vast wilderness.
