coulee. More work of a similar nature
remains to be done in that vicinity.
It was by methods similar to this
that the extreme west end of the dam
was completed. About $500 feet at the
end of the dam was built of rolled-fill.
Most of the work was done by n or
two machines working alone.
The Snake butte quarry is shipping
ITO carloads of stone to the dam each
week now. It has been possible to place
them on the upstream face Of the dam
as fast as they are received. Five, SIX

without difficulty.

COLLECTION
OF ARROW HEADS
DISPLAYED AT MILES CITY BY
ARTHUR H. BENTLEY, TEE
DEE RESIDENT

A collection of some $50 arrow
heads, including a rare Folsom
point, were exhibited in Miles City
recently by Arthur H. Bentley of
Tee Dee, who turned archaelOgist
during the spring and summer and
excavated the relics from an In
dian buffalo trap on Trail creek.
He has at present approximately
500 arrow points, spear heads, stone
skinning knives and fragments
taken from the buffalo trap and
other points in that part of Carter
county.
For the most part, the collection dis
played here comprised perfect hunting
arrow points of agate. cherk and OBJ
Sidian. Included in the many fine
specimens, however, are spear and
javelin heads. flint skinning knives
and many fragments of flint. The
majority of the heads and points were
taken from a buffalo trap where the
Indians had slain hundreds of buffalo
for food, leaving many of the carcasses
piled in n bed.
Near the place, Mr.. Bentley said
there was evidence where the Indians
had a barbecue for days, with countless
splintered bones showing the Indians
had cracked them for the marrow,
Scores of buffalo skulls and other
bones were scattered over the area and
he had dug down six or seven feet

First Smelter in
Montana May Be
Permanent Spot

Steps to make a national monument
out of the first smelter built in Mon
tana a short distance west of Argenta.
are being taken by the Beaverhead
Mining association.
The association has asked the Ana
conda Copper Mining company. on
whose Annie placer claim the historic
old RUNS are located. for a quitclaim
deed to a plot 100 feet square, In that
area are the remains of the smoke
stack and furnace of the smelter con-
strllcted in the late SOS.
Most of the smelter has long since
tumbled in ruins. but even the remains
are of historical interest. Bricks for
the furnace were shipped all the way
from Swansea, Wales, and brought
overland to Argenta, at great loss. The
smelter operated for many years.
The board Of county commissioners
has promised its assistance in the eff
fort to have the spot designated as a
national monument. The site will be
made more accessible to tourists, &C
cording to present plans.

Dams and bikes in Irrigation System
s a diagram illustrating a flood irrigation system that Utilities
diversion dams and bikes, w, O. Monson, irrigation engineer

d VI uAtSAS
at the Montana agricul-
tural experiment sta
ton, this
type of flood irrigation
system for those areas
where the main channel
follows the middle of
the valley. He cautions,
however, that this sys-
tenn is practical only
where the channel is
comparatively small and
the slope is very gentle.
Monson explains that
the principle governing
this type of water
spreading is to dam up
the stream, force it out,
and, with the aid of
bikes, divert it all the
way across the flat.
Then the water is al
lowed to drain back into
the channel until di-
verted again further
down the stream. This
system is a modification
of the straight diversion
dam plan, the only diff
ference being the con-
%structiOn of wing bikes
at both ends of the
dams.
If there is too much
water, MOnSon added,
headgates may be sub
stituted for the solid
dams.
