Tom Scott Submits to an Interview on the Bubjeot of the Big Pool. Missouri River Rates Fixed by the Southwostern As-. socintion. New Passenger Rates to Inte~ rior Points in Texas and Arkansas. NORTHERN PACIFIC. Gen. Charles H. Tompkins, Deputy Quarter- maater General United States Army, and Chief Quartcrmaster of the Department of Dakots, arrived luthls city yesterday from atrip of about seventy days, duringwhich time be visited all the principal military posts fo Montana. As liehada splendid opportunity to obscrve the condition of tho rcountry through which the Northern Pacific Railroad extension s to run, lavlug follawed the survcy eome 450 miles, s ‘Tripuxg reporier called upon him at the Sher- wan House yesterday siternconto gets de. scriptionof the, country, and to learn if the project was feasible and practicable, and, if car- out, tlit would pay & fair jnterest on the {uveatment. QGen. Tompking received the re- porter very cordially, nod at once signified his willingnens to give T TRIDUNE all the deslred lnformation, The General atated that he went ub the Missour! River from Bismark to Benton, From this point he went to Shaw, and thence to Helena. From Helena ho made a trip to Missoula and returned agaln to the former polnt. - Healso went to Camp Baker and again roturned to lleiena. fle 187t Helena for good, nnd went to Fort Ellis, and from this point along the ling of the Northern Paciflc survey to Fort Custer and thence to Fort Keogh. flathen went down the Yellowstone River to Fort Bu. ford, ot the confluence of the Ycllowstone and Missourt Rivera; thence down the Missourl back agaiu to Bismarck. He found fn the vicinity of Missoula one of the fnest agricultural and stock-ralsing countrics he lias ever scen, and it is already well settled. Between Mizaoula and Deer Lodge the country 18 equally fine and pro- ductive, and stlil more sottted thsn In the vicliity of Missoula. Deer e Is quite n thriviug town, Between Holena and Fort Ellls the country is perfectly bhepntffnl, and weht watered. Thousauds of vattls were roaming all around. ‘This portion of Muntana is exceliently adapted for agricuituce, lle found thls part of the country also very -rich in minerals, valuablo sliver deposits fiaving been discovered at the headwaters of Jefferson River. There were also rich sllver developments in the vicin- itvot Helena and Missotla, Between Kort Ellls and Fort Custer the country ia rapidly fillinz up with sotllers, and the peoble arc rala- ing largo crops of wieat, oats, and corn. At all these polnta -he stopped, and conversud with the ranchmen and scttlers regarding thelr fu- ture intentions. ‘They all_contemplato raising large crops of oats, with the intention of selling to the Governineat at good prices, They an- ticipate o prosperous future. Botween Furt Custer and Keogh thers are also yery #ine agricultural and Ing lauds, Herg he passed over severnl natural bay-flolds. From Keogh down the Yellowstone the country is not 80 rich in the immediate vicinity of "the river, bub there are spota well timbered, and coal crops wut in tany places, with {ndications of very thick velns, Oon. Tompklus expresses himself highly pleascd with the country through which he passed, and strongly advocates the extenslon and completfon of the Northern Paciiic Rosd, Not only will the carryiine out of this d)rnjm greatly Tacllitate the transportation of (iovern- ment stores Lo 8 Jarzs number of military posts in Montana nnd the Yellowstone country, but it will materially diminish the cost of trans- portation. , For lustanue, it costs nt present to more 100 pounds of freight fron Bismarck to Keogh 03 63-100 cents. "Thia Is under an px- cecdingly low contrset., Last year the cost of trapaportation was double this amount. ‘The otticers of the Union Pacific have guaranteed to deliver the Governmient stores at all seasons of the year for the sane distance over their road for b0 cents per 100 pounds. Like reductionsto other pointa would bothe result. The construo- tion of thia road would, in Gen. Tompkins' oplu- fon, also have » great tendency to settlo the Indfan question, as {ndians proverblally receds from ciniization. ‘The above description of the Yellowstous country fully agrees with the roporta made by Cols. James W, Forsyth and F. D, Grant, who made aa examination of that part of the country by onder of Llcut.-Gen, Sheridan in 5. Col. Grant in lis repoit says: *‘The country wo passed through was of a cretaceous formation (the latest formations of the Mesozole thnes, golng up through Cenozole timo and the uge of man, for the coubtry is helne soverely washed by the heayy ralns of the vresent day), tho valley, of course? being, like the valleys ‘of all rivers, moditicd drift.
