HISTORIC FORT BENTON.
Minneapolis Tribune Man Predicts
Great Future For This Locality.

A recent issue Of the Minneapolis
Tribune contains az iteresting article
upon this part of Montana, written by
q representative of that newspaper
who made q visit here q few weeks
ago. After a brief historical sketch
regarding the establishment OF q trad
ing post at this point, the article con-.
tinues: /
Every great city 10 the northwest
has q man or men who hold old Fort
Benton in pleasant memory for their
experience in it.. The fertile valleys
and great benches which grazed the
great herds Of buffalo for the Indian,
and mighty hocks of sheep for his sue
cessors. are now being settled and
Guilty ated by the farmer, and the
Fort Benton of other days lie taking
on new life and new vigor. The rich
valleys OF the Highwood mountains
are producing wonderful h%arvests,
while the dry process farmers are Wig.
orously tn rning the bench lands into
great producing farms. Every man
in modern Fort Benton is working
overtime to supply the new regime,
and the activity is molding q city that
insures its Importance to Montana for
all time.
The ruins of the old fort left by the
government troops, who occupied it
a. q post for q decade, until the es.
Establishment OF Fort As%sinniboine,
stand outside the circle Of activity, o
reminder of other days, now lost to
American experience. Many of the
present residents of Fort Benton took
advantage of the opportunity to se.
cure homesteads, and some of them
have secured record crops. One of
them, who had no farm experience,
made the mistake Of sowing $50 acres
of fax against the advice of expert.
enced farmers, and he secured q yield
of 244 bushels to the acre, which he
sold for Sl.65 q bushel. The great
success of the inexperienced, who
seem to be the one to attempt the un-
usual, is one of the great surprises Of
this great country.
The richness Of the soil is withou,
question. Its life 10 beyond estimat
ing II reasonable alienation of crops
is prscticed. The only question il
moisture. Every effort is being made
to induce the bench land farmers to
practice dry farming, and summer
following, 30 that when the dry years
come, as they do in any climate, sui
icient moisture will have been ab'
sorbed in the soil to fructify crops.
When that art is developed, the world
will be surprised with the yield of this
splendid country, which will demon
strate that it is possible to be very
rich as we'll as very beautiful.

GOLD REEF BUYS THE
CUWBOY PROPERTY
New Owner viii Develop Valuable
Property Near Wilcox.
Mascot to Reserve

WILCOX, Ariz., July 23-The Gold
Reef Mining and Milling company has
been organized to take over the old
Cowboy group OF mines northeast of
this city and the Overland group in
the Dos Cabezas district. w. T. Stew
art and S. j. Hall of El Paso have
arrived here to take charge of the
work.
The Cowboy group is essentially gold
property and some rich ore has been
taken from the mines of the property
in the past What degree of success
was met with at that time, however,
was because of the richness of the ore
Experts have repeatedly tested the
ground and all have declared that with
proper development and capable man
agement fortunes can be reclaimed
from this group.
The Overland group runs in copper,
gold and silver and what development
work has been done on the property
has shown good indications.
The Southern Pacific has just COM
pleted a survey from Wilcox to Dos
Cabezas and it is presumed that mas
much as a smelter is being erected
there rails will be laid and trains run
ming shortly. 1t will be only q baby
job to complete the work and if the
ore is there the Southern Pacific will
go. after it.
Interesting in this connection is the
fact that the Cicero Smith Mining
company is putting in a ten-stamp
mill on it's property there. This is a
close corporation and not only is there
no stock quotation, but no person out
side of the proposition knows aught
about it beyond what can be seen
from the train as it passes the prop
erty.
Tho Mascot which is bebind the Dos
Cabezas smelter enterprise, is working
away royalty with it's $4,000 worth of
new mining machinery preparing a
vast reserve of extracted ore for the
reduction works. Besides necessary
steam generating equipment there is
on this property a 10-drill Ingersoll-
Rand compressor and a big electric
plant sufficient to light the camp as
well as pull much machinery.
