In the Little Rockies District.

A resident of Helena who recently
returned from a business trip TO Tort
man gives this review of mining mat
ters in that locality:
"The Alder Gulch Mining company
is developing its properties with tire
less energy, aided by a tidy, we'll
equipped cyanide mill which is more
than paying its way.
"The Ruby Gulch company has
opened up a vast deposit of medium
high grade gold ore, which is a sur-
prise to themselves and those who see
IT. and 60 where they will they will
run into unexpected ore. They have
also a mill which i, being improved
to meet the demands of the ore.
"Other companies and individuals
are working on their claims, and not
since the early placer days has there
been SO much prospecting in that Sec
ton, but little has been heard of this
on the outside, for those in the min.
eral zone have kept their mouths
closed and have been at work, with
the result that nearly every old hole
and a multitude of new ones are being
diligently worked.
The Fergus Mining company ac
CURED a property there a year ago.
Upon one OF the claims a little work
has been done. So favorable are the
geological conditions, and resembling
as they do. the Ruby gulch property,
the company has done considerable
work on its Medford tunnel, with the
result that the ore grows better as the
development is carried on and there
are strong indications of large de-.
posts of valuable ore ahead. This
property looks favorable and the COM.
pany has been advised by mining men
to push ahead upon the lines laid
out"

INDIANS ENTITLED TO WATER.
Circuit Court Of Appeals Sustains Judge
Hunt In Important Decision.

The decision of Judge W. H. Hunt
in the Milk river water right suit, in
which it was declared that the In.
dians on Fort Belknap reserve have a
prior right 10 5000 inches of the
waters of Milk river, has been sus.
tanned by the circuit court of appeals
at San Francisco. The decision, which
affects a large number OF settlers in
the upper Milk river valley. says:
1.-THE center of Milk river is the
northern boundary line OF the Fort
Belknap reservation, as fixed by
treaty between the Indians and the
United States, and this stream Is the
only source of supply for the various
uses of the government and the In.
dians at the agency, and for irriga-
ton purposes generally on the re-
serve. Since 1889 and 1890, a portion
OF the waters Of the stream have been
continuously used by the government
and the Indians for household, do.
nestle and irrigation purposes. Since
the year 1898, water has been taken
from Milk river by means of a canal
and used on the reserv alton for the
purpose of irrig ating the cultivable
lands susceptible of irrigation with
the waters of that stream. This canal
has a capacity of at least 5000 inches
OF water and such amount is required
for the present needs and require.
dians.
"The diversion of the waters by
appellants is admitted by them, but
they claim the right to divert the
waters of Milk river on the ground
that the waters in question were leg
ally and properly appropriated by
them and each of them for a beneti-
cial and useful purpose.
'We are Of the opinion that when
all the facts, circumstances, condi-
tons and surroundings of the Indians
at the time the treaty was entered into
are considered, it cannot ]udiciously
be said that nc portion of the waters
OF Milk river was reserved by the
terms of the treaty for the use and
benefit of the Indians residing upon
the reserv alton. Such a construction
would be in violation of the true in
tent and meaning of the terms of the
treaty.
1--WE believe it was the intention of
the treaty to reserve sufficient waters
of the Milk river, as was said by the
court below, to insure to the Indians
means wherewith to irrigate their
FARMS and it "a 80 understood by
the respective parties to the treaty at
the time 1t was signed.
"In conclusion, We are of the opin.
ion that the court below did not err in
holding that when the Indians made
the treaty granting rights to the
United States, they reserved the right
to use the water of Milk river, at least
to an extent reasonably necessary to
irrigate their lands. The right SO
reserved continues to exist against
the United States and its grantees, as
we'll as against the state and its al
tees
