A detailed account Of the ore
deposits In a region OF about
5000 square miles surrounding
the city Of Helena is contained
in q new bulletin BY J. 7. Pardee
and +. c. schrader. Issued BY the
q. 8. G. s. These deposits have
yielded gold. silver, copper. lead
and zinc to a value Of at least
s17s,s6O,OO0. The piacers have
been almost entirely exhausted
but many Of the lOdes are stiil
productive. the publication states.
The placer deposits were formed
mostly during interglacial stages
OF PIeistocene time.
The lodes are classified in two
groups. The older lodes are re-
lated in origin to the Boulder
babholith or some OF the neish-
boring intrusive granite bodies
and were probably formed dur
ing early Eocene time. The
Younger lodes were formed after
dacite of probable EOcene age was
erupted. They are possibly related
in origin to some unexposed In
trusive granite rock.
For convenience Of description
the region Is divided into three
uarts-one including the dis
tricts north OF Helena, another
the districts in the Belt Noun
tains. and the third the districts
south Of Helena. Each Of these
parts differs considerably from
the others in it's geology and
other features. The report is IL

In the first few years Of oil and
gas in Montana 1t was held to be q
fallacy for any reputable geologist
TO recommend a test anywhere in the
state where the structure was not
known to be actual structural closure
or fault closure. In other words there
had 70 be actual structural closure be-
before any reputable geologist would
recommend the drilling OF a we'll In
view of the conditions prevailing in
the Sunburst and other fields this
opinion was extremely well sustained,
although, In the case OF the SunIbuTst
field, with a tremendous closure, 1t was
not certain that wells drilled in seem
ingly favorable spots would be pro-
ductive due to the variability Of the
producing horizon.
While the drilling OF wells In the
Sweetgrass Hills and on the TANKS Of
the Arch showed that different sand
conditions existed on the flanks than
on the crest OF the Arch, Il WAS not
generally recognized by the geological
fraternity that shorelining of sands
along the TANKS OF the Sweet Grass
Arch existed When the Cut Bank
Field was brought in on a structure
closed purely by shortening then the
geol0gIst began to SIT up and take
notice Of facts hitherto strongly fndi-
Gated but now proven definitely,
namely that there is a wide belt
along the crest Of the Arch which was
apparently ont Of the water during
several geological periods and that
while this belt was exposed to erosion
of the atmosphere during these periods,
sands and thicker formations were
81 - AZ nNrara
covered flanks during the periods that
the Arch crest was exposed as an
island or peninsula.
The period OF socalled Great Uncon-
formity which occurred between Pale
ozoic and Jurassic times left several
great formations absent on the Crest
OF the Arch These are the Penn
sy1vania, Permian, Triassic, and part
OF the Jurassic The thickness of
these formations, IL present in aver
age normal thickness above the Madi-
son, the uppermost representative OF
the Paleozoic present in most Of the
Arch, would mean many thousands Of
feet OF intervening formation be-
tween the Jurassic Of the Arch and the
Madison, with the probable presence
OF a great many sands which would
be productive in favorable structures.
The Minor Unconformity between
the Jurassic (Ellis) and the Cretaceous
did not cover such a great period OF
geologic time but was of such dura-
ton that important sands found In
the Lower Cretaceous and Upper
Jurassic OF the Rocky Mountain Region
are here missing That minor uncon-
formitIes within the Cretaceous and
Jurassic formations themselves took
place is OF greater importanee 70 the
geoIogist and oil and gas operator than

Joints in the outlook are:

points in the outlook are:
There is too large supply of the
lower grades of beef arriving at all
markets, with no immediate curtailing
of this in sight.
The United States Department of
Agriculture expects beef cattle prices
to average higher during 1885 than
they have during 1884 with larger adj
vances in prices of we'll finished grain
fed cattle, and small advances in prices
of short-fed cattle. Even though the
number of cattle slaughtered should
be as low as in 1928, cattle prices are
not expected to go as high as in 1928
because of the lower consumer pur-
chasing power.
Truck Crops
The general market outlook for COM
mercial truck crops for fresh market
shipment during 1885 appears to be
little more favorable to growers than
it has been for any season since 1881.
With the level of wholesale food prices
averaging about Is per cent higher
than in the spring of 1884 and with
smaller supplies Of such staple foods
as meat, dairy and poultry products
in prospect, it is probable that the
demand for commercial truck crops
will be slightly improved, at least dur
ing the first half of 1885. During the
latter half of 1885, unless there is an
increase in consumer buying power
it is expected that the level of prices
will be adjusted chiefly on the basis
of changes in the supplies available for
market, a larger production tending
to lower the prices below the 1884 level
and smaller production favoring an
improvement in prices.
The index of selected prices, costs,
and demand factors for the United
States, using the base period 1904
as 100, is:

SENATOR BARKLEY
BACKS NEW DEAL
Tells Williamsburg Audience
Plan Is Not Violation
of Constitution.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


WILLIAMSBURG. Va, February
S3.-washington, jefferson and Ham,
ilton gave to America It's first new
deal" Senator Alben w. Barkley of
Kentucky declared in an address de-
livered here last night, asserting that
the Roosevelt new deal" was not
violative of the Constitution or that
there was danger to American insti-
tutions therefrom.
Speaks at Williamsburg.
The Kentucky Senator spoke at a
meeting celebrating the restoration
Of Williamsburg and the turning
. over of the restoration work to the
State. Senator Barkley said there was
+: flexible thread" running through
our constitutional system, and but
tressed this statement with the part
played by the Supreme Court in its
liberal Interpretation of the Consti-
tuition.
1T is because of this flexible
thread continued Senator Barkley,
that in recent months in the great
est economic emergency that has ever
overtaken this Nation. we have en-
barked upon the enactment, the ap-
praisal and the administration of
remedies which our forefathers could
not visualize, because of the SIM
plicity of their society. but remedies
which they made possible because
of the admirable fore-ight which
guided their deliverations in the
framing of the outline of that Gov
ernment which we have developed.
II think We need not fear for the
welfare of the Nation simply because
we have had to substitute some new
theories and some new practices in
the administration of government.
Gave First New Deal.
"We in America do not believe in
static government. The very fact
that Washington and Jefferson and
Hamilton and John Marshall and all
OF those who labored with them to
establish a new order of things were
willing to break away from a loyalty
which they cherished, demonstrated
that they did not believe in a static
government. They gave to America
the first new deal in its history. But
they did not pre-empt the whole ter
ritory OF governmental experimental
ton.
government as we'll as eco
nomic and religious liberty will perish
from the earth if We should ever ar
rive at a point where we look only
INTO the past. where we deem that all
human progress has reached its full
ness and that there is nothing fur
ther to be accomplished in the evolu-
ton Of mans destiny.
1T is one of the glorious traditions
Of America that while We rejoice in
our loyalty to the memory of her
founders, We also rejoice in the pro-
gressive, forwardlo looking and prophetic
wisdom which they exercised in estab-
fishing nation under a Constitution
that could adjust itself to the settle
ment of problems incident to the
growth and development of a pro-
gressive, growing and ambitious ma
ton of people"
