really glowing reports concerning
these crops, it is plainly indicated
that this division will be the cyno-
sure of all eyes, for seeing is be-
lieving," and dry farming success
this year spells absolute certainty
in periods Of ordinary precipitation,
for the records show that this has
been the driest year ia decades. At
any rate, the exhibits will speak for
themselves, and reports received
from intending exhibitors plainly
indicate that there will be no dis
appointment. Indeed, the pessimists
are certain to receive a severe shock
upon viewing the products of Mont
ana dry farms this year that per-
force must silence all criticism in the
future.
To James j. Hill, chairman Of the
board of directors Of the Great
Northern Railway company, and one
of Montana,s greatest dry farming
boosters, the fair management feels
itself under many obligations for
his address Of last year in which he
stated in the presence Of the presi-
dent Of the United States that the
agricultural future Of Montana was
unlimited; III fact. that it was al
ready producing larger crops and Of
better quality than any state III the
union. This tribute has worked won
ders in the way Of inviting new set
tiers to Montana and will doubtless
continue so to act for years to come.
Mr.. Hill has gone even further,
however, and is now offering
series Of prizes for crops raised in
Montana without irrigation, the list
including red and white fall wheat,
red and white spring wheat, fall rye,
spring rye, macaroni wheat, barley,
oats, peas, beans, flax, corn. alfalfa,
timothy, bronze, orchard grass and
milIet seed after threshing and the
same as forage crop and sheaf ex-
hibit. He has also offered substan-
tial prizes for all manner of seed
grains, vegetables and root crops,
and in order to show his marked
generosity, has included valuable

Helena, Mont, Aug. 15.-Practi-
cally everything is in readiness for
the Eighth Montana State Fair to be
held in this city September rs to Oct
ober /, inclusive, and it is no exag-
geration to state that in every res
pect it will be greater and grander
than ever. Not only have the
grounds been enlarged and beauti-
fed, but several new buildings have
been erected SO that every depart
ment will have ample display room
for all exhibits, which has been a de-
feet in the past.
This has been accomplished in
large measure by the erection Of a
separate mineral building, thus per
hitting one Of the chief industries
of the state the opportunity to make
proper display instead of being given
a small section of the agricultural
building. At the same time this ar
rangement will give the opportunity
for a display to advantage Of all the
agricultural resources of the state.
the entire main floor of the largest
structure on the grounds being de-
voted exclusively to this under the
new arrangement. Numerous other
changes have been made which will
be treated at greater length in these
columns from time to time, showing
that neither time nor effort has been
spared in making the Montana State
Fair to the Treasure state what the
Minnesota and Illinois exhibitions
are to those states. That Montana
has made a marvellous record in this
respect cannot be gainsaid and that
it has an even brighter future is
equally patent.
One Of the features Of the fair this
year will be the dry farming division
and it must be admitted perforce
that the showing therein. the ad-
verse circumstances considered, will
prove one Of the best advertisements
the state ever received, and after
all this is the desideratum Of the fair
officials to make known the resour-
ees and opportunities of Montana to
the civilized world. Judging from
the applications for space and the

In sinking the shaft the formation

FLOW OF WATER IN
STEAM SHOVEL PIT
Nevada Consolidated Opens
Probable Chamber in Cop
per Flat Workings.

Nevada Consolidated has encountered
something new for a steam-shovel mine
"a flow of water. A steam shovel was
working in ore in the bottom OF the
Copper Flat pit, which is about 200 feet
deep, when the scoop of the shovel
broke into water; and operations Of
the shovel have since been suspended
An electric pump was installed, and it
is expected to handle the now without
difficulty. A large accumulation OF
concentrates having been in storage at
the smelter, there will likely be no
falling OFF in production of copper on
account of the unusual occurrence.
The only hardship which may be
worked upon Nevada Consolidated. says
the Ely Expositor. will be the matter of
disposing of the water. should the flow
prove to be permanent The only outlet
from the pit is over the Ely Centrals
Juniper claim, over which Nevada Con-
solidated has been seeking a right of
way for some time, to facilitate the
working Of the ore at lower levels. II
looks as though some arrangement
would be entered into with Ely Cen
trail for piping the water through its
ground.
The water IN the pit is as green as
fresh grass, and the flow at first was
about nine feet. 1t was not unexpected
that water would be encountered in
/ the pit, but IL was thought that II
would not come in until greater depth
/ had been reached, the channel being
| the same as that which Is being drained
| by the Clipper shaft OF Ely Central
/ 1t is possible that the pumps in the
pit will bring relief to those of the
| Clipper shaft.
| The country surrounding tho big pit
/ is known to contain numerous cham
/ bers of water. The present flow is moi
/ believed to be of a permanent nature
/ For the last few weeks there has beer
/ considerable blasting. 1t is possible
/ that the shots have resulted in open
| ing up Of one OF the chambers witt
| the sudden flow OF water as a result.
However, even IL the flow proves tC
be permanent, the company Will have
no trouble controlling IT.

NATIONAL SHIPS
100000 BULLION
Record Consignment of Gold
Bars Sent From High
Grade Camp.

A shipment OF $4,000 OF bullion. the
largest yet made from the camp of Ma
tional was delivered at Winnemucca
last Wednesday night. The shipment
comprised eighteen bars of gold bull
Iions nine of which were the product of
ore from the workings of the National
Mining company of Nevada. while the
other nine were produced by the Stall
lease upon that company's ground.
The bullion was taken to Winnie
mucca in two automobiles. which were
closely guarded with Sheriff Lamb in
charge. Only few nights ago armed
bandits held up the miners at work in
the stope Of rich ore in the National
mine and made away with high-grade
ore valued at $4,000. That occurrence
led to unusual precautions having been
taken in transporting the bullion.
After having reposed in the sheriff s
office over night, under heavy guard.
the gold bars were shipped to the Car
son City mint in charge of F. W. Stall
and George 5. Pelton.
