IS OPERATING
MONTANA CO..

HELENA-A limited amount OF
exploration and development work
at the Spring Hill and Carlson
properties of the Montana Consol-
idated Mines Corporation is being
carried on under the present re-
ownership. Foreclosure proceedings
on a mortgage for $4,000, given
by the Montana Consolidated con-
Germ, were filed on April II, 1910.
The Minmont Company, the mort
gagee, petitiOned the court for a
receiver of the property, nominal
ing Gust Carlson, vice-president
and manager of Montana Consoli-
dated, to serve in that capacity. The
court appointed Carlson receiver.
During 1899 the company did
1877 feet of drifting, raising, sink
ing, etc. A total of 58,923 tons of
ore were mined and milled from the
Spring Hill mine. Production a
mounted to 1913 dry tons of lead
concentrate shipped; 1858 ounces
of gold recovered; SGT ounces of
silver; and 10,271 pounds of lead
recovered. The change during 1899
brought by the installation of the
cyanide plant addition to the Spring
Hill consentrator obviated the nee
essity OF marketing the pyritic con-
centrates at the East Helena smell
ter, as was done from 1884 to 1898
inclusive. Andrew G. Anderson of

and Gust Carlson of Duluth and

ON SPOKANE
FEDERAL A BANK

The Federal Land Bank OF
Spokane ended 1889 in the
strongest position in its 23-year
history. President E. M. Ehr-
hardt told M. B. Yates of Bill
lingS, in a letter received by
Yates this week. .
Yates is secretary-treaSurer OF
nine National Farm Loan aSSo-
Citations which are stockholders
in the land bank, and which
make and service land bank
loans in Big Horn, Carbon, Still
water, Sweet Grass, Treasure
and Yellowstone counties. These
associations have 1928 members.
In addition, Yates office serV-
ices 499 land bank commissioner
loans made through the land
bank.
Highlights of the land banks
accomplishments reported by
President Ehrhardt were the ad-
dition of 81, 22O, 1889 to the banks
legal reserves during the year;
the return of 81, 000, 900 to the
United States government by
retirement of government :.
owned stock, and the sale OF
S., O81 ,257 worth of real estate.
Borrowers from the bank re-
duced their indebtedness ST.
481 ,625 during the year. debt
reduction is wholesome and de-
sirable," President Ehrhardt
said, "inasmuch as the main
objective of the Farm Credit
administration is to help farm
ers help themselves get out OF
debt"
The land sales figure covers
the return of 1,156 farms and
1856 parts of farms to private
ownership, with approximately
one-third of the sales beng
made to tenants. Sales were 81
1876, 645 greater than the value
of property acquired by the
bank during the year.
While there was some increase
in overdue payments from
farmers during 1889, mainly due
to unsatisfactory prices, chang
es in the banks collection pro-
cedure, President Ehrhardt said,
will eventually have the effect
of reducing delinquency, as we'll
as rendering better service to
worthy borrowers and reducing
ultimate losses. 1t is our hope
that with better prices for
farm products substantial i'm
provement will be recorded dur
the ensuing year" =.
AS of December 81, the land
bank had outstanding loans to-
falling SOL ,278. 1887 in the twelfth
Farm Credit Observation-Disclosures,

During 1889 it retired all of its
