state in the Union. One of his paint
ings, it is said, hangs on the wall OF
a Pekin, China, home. He was born
in Missouri within five miles of the
birthplace of Charles M. Russell.
When Russell decided upon the great
northwest as his future home, De
Yong was taken by his parents to the
Indian Territory, where he was
brought up with Indians as playmates
and cowboys as friends and compan-
ions, thus forming in early life a
correct mental impression of the now
rapidly disappearing types of the old
frontier.
Having met with the misfortune of
losing his hearing while working in
Prescott, Ariz., De Yong decided to
come to Montana and follow an art
lists career. To use his own words,
eff l had known the hard, uphill
grind it is / would never have had
the nerve to tackle it." But indus
try and close attention to detail have
at last enabled him to produce work
which has drawn the attention of the
outside world, and his friends believe
he has a brilliant career before him.

One of the most remarkable finds
IN the state was the sapphire deposits
on the Yogo river, in central Mon
tana. This deposit, which has been
worked for number of years, pro-
| duces tons of gems annually, and
through the English company which
owns the mines, controls the sap
phire market of the world.
Discovery of Oil
Now comes the oil. 1t started with
| the bringing in of the first well in
the Elk basin, south of Billings, on
the Montana-Wyoming boundary,
about seven years ago. Previous to
this discovery gas in commercial
quantities had been developed at
Havre. Probably so producing wells
were drilled in Elk basin. Gas strikes
followed at Baker and Glendive.
Then about three years ago several
producing wells were brought in near
Roundup. Two years ago came the.
Cat Creek development which until
about three months had a produc-
tion of perhaps 5000 barrels a
month. The first wells brought in
in Cat Creek were comparatively
small producers of very high grade
of paraffin OIL Recent tests show a
second sand which is very rich, a
well brought in last week being cred
tied with 5000 barrels, flush pro-
duction, per day, which means
quick revival of interest in that sec
tion.
Important oil strikes were made
last year in the Soap creek district,
near Hardin.
Three months ago Gordon Camp
bell, who was the pioneer of the
Roundup field, brought in the first
producing we'll in northern Montana,
in field that had been condemned
by many experts. His strike was fol-
lowed a short time later by the L. G.
Stevenson strike at Sunburst A fu-
rore followed. Now half a dozen of
the larger subsidiaries of the Stand
ard Oil are fighting each other for
acreage in the north country, 40 or
more immediate drillings are assur-
ed, and many Independent companies
are being organized to develop this
newest of the many remarkable
wealth producing resources that are

been struck in a well that is being
drilled near Three Forks, which

Land Official Lost for Two Days

Lost for two days on the prairies
of Garfield county was the experience
of L. b. Kimble of the general land
office, who arrived in Miles City after
10 days plowing through mud and
water of northside roads.
Kimble became lost while follow
ing a COW trail on Sand Creek near
Sand Springs. He drove around on
all the roads in that region, but once
having lost his bearings it was two
days before he finally landed in Sand
Springs, and learned he had not been
more than ten miles from the COM
munity in all his wanderings He
was without food during the time,
and was half starved when he reach

slender menu of radishes and lettuce
awaiting him. He declares he rates
that limited meal among the best he
ever tasted. Finding good start
