FSfSet SSh'J "''~
In the twelfth report OF the commits
sioner Of agriculture, labor and indus
try, ]. A. Ferguson gives a most ex-
haustive review of the mineral out
puts Of the state Tor the years 1900
and 1901. Fergus county comes in for
considerable space in the report, a
general synopsis of which is as fol-
lows:
This county witnessed the most i'm
portant advancement made in Mon
tana during 1901 for the mining Of
gold. The application of the cyanide
process for the handling of low-grade
deposits of gold ore in the Gilt Edge
district attracted much capital and
the year was marked by the erection
of new plants, extensive developments
and a large output OF gold commenced
therefrom. This product amounted to
a very considerable figure. the output
of $4,000 ounces of gold having near
ly all been the result Of the empty
ment and adoption of the cyanide pro-
less to extract the values.
THE leading mills to employ the
cyanide process in the Gilt Edge dis
trict during the year were the Gilt
Edge, Kendall, Barnes.King group and
Whiskey Gulch. At all of these, mark
ed activity was to be noted while 9TH
err claims were brought out prepare
tory to opening tor production.
THE largest mill in the state treat
ing pres by cyanidation direct, is the
Kendall, in the town of that name, in
the North Moccasin mountains in Fer
gus county, 1t having a capacity of $50
tons a day. The next largest is the
Barnes-King, in the same neighbor-
hood, having a capacity OF 220 tons q
day. The third largest is the Gilt
Edge, with a capacity Of 14O tons a
day. Lewis and Clarke county takes
the lead in the production of gold by
cyanide, Fergus county second and
Madison county third. Fergus county
will, no doubt, soon take first place in
the production of cyanide bullion. In
fact, in the recovery of gold from ores
direct, by cyanide, she already holds
it, and there is every indication that
her production this year (19O2) will
make her outrank every osler portion
of the state"

MA9vELoUsLY TRAINED wILUANIMALs.
Wonderful Geological Performances in Grea
Arena That are Beyond Comparison.

II is with feeling of honest pride and
utmost confidence in its ability to make
good its claim, that the Gaskill- Mundy-
Levitt Carnival Company introduces TO
the public the greatest trained wild ami
NAL exhibition ever seen in this or airy
other country. The finest speciments of
the African and Nubian lion. the Royal
Bengal and Madras tiger, the East India
Leopard and Cougar, the South American
Puma and Jaguar, the Russian, Grizzly
and Polar bear. the Siberian and Rocky
Mountain wolf, the Abbyssinian and
African hyena, the Himalayian Mountain
Sloth and many other species of the deni-
ZcnS of the forest and jungle are to be
seen in a great steel-barred arena per-
forming with almost human intelligence,
the most difficult and wonderful feats.
Their trainers are the most daring and
accomplished that live and the sight of
a single man or woman surrounded by
the great shaggy beasts, savage and
hloodthirsty, yet absolutely obedient and
submissive TO the human mind and will,
is one not easily forgotten.
Old and young alike find delightfully."-
instructive entertainment in these exhi-
billions of human daring and animal edu-
cation, which have been the leading fed-
ture of the largest and greatest exposi
tons the world has ever known. The
entire animal kingdom from the ice-
bound region of the arctic circle to the
sun-scorched ATTITUDES of the equator is
there represented, forming a peerless col
lection of zoology such as has never been
attempted before by any travelling amuse-
ment organization. The exterior o the
show is magnificent mass OF carvings,
gliding and paintings and at night, when
illuminated with hundreds of electric
lights is truly an animal fairyland. The
magnitude of it all amazes all who pay
it visit, and it compares favorably with
the leading geological gardens of the
largest cities of this country and Europe.
The acme of human courage and daring
ard the suporlative degree of animal In
telligence and education is shown to the
delight and dedication of all.
