Cattlemen are in conse quence rejoloing, and altogether the outlook for the coming season 1s the most promising since the beginning of the industry, some years ago. Meetings are called for the various s tock assoclations to arrauge their spring round ups, and the following have been settled on as the dates: Mendora Associatlon, at Mendora, Bad Lande of Dakota, April 1, Shonkin Stock assoclation, Benton, M.

T., April 13, One of the most {mportant meetings will be held at Miles City, when the sub ject of a consolidation of all the associa. tlons in the territory will be discussed. It is probable that the scheme will be effect- ed, as nearly every prominent stocckman in the northwest is In favor of it. LIVE-STOCK LEGISLATION, The following bills relating to live- atock interssts were passed by the terri- torial leglslatare at the sessfon just con- cluded: A bill to prevent the introduction of contaglous diseases among the cattle of the territory. . A bill to provent the branding of cat- tle durlng certain seasona, A bill for the better protection of the live-stock Interests of the terrlitory. A bill to provide for the payment of damage to stock and from fires occasloned by operatling ratlroads. A bill providing a bounty for killing certaln animals fer:c natu A jolnt rasolution againss the repeal of the desert land act. The governor also appolnted, and the council confirmed, the following gentle- men to meet the requirements cf the law for the batter protectlon of live stock: For Veterinary Surgeon—Thomas Stoart. For Stock Commissioners—Chouteau county, Robert P, Walker, Custer coun- ty, Frank Robertson; Dawson county, J. S Day; Lewls and Clark county, Rob- ert S.

A HORSEMAN'S ASSOCIATION, at Fort A call has also been fs;ued for horse- men aad those interested In the Industry to meet at Sun River Crossing, Marsh 27, for the parposs of taklng the necessary action for the formation of a Horeemen’s associatlon. The call is eigned by the mcst prominent horse-breed- ers of the northwest, and reaponses have begn received from all over, promising a ttemdance. The outline of the pro- w:‘i iflx&w organizc as other Raving regular system- ‘{rln e different dlstrlcts, all w. . commence about ihe same There are alresdy a pumber of horse and mule {mwen in Montana, notable among wl might be named Frewen and Barber on Powder river, J.

Milot, Jack Harrisand others, It is a noteworthy fact that most of 4he Eng- llshmen who coms to the ncrthwest ven- tura into horse-growing rather than cat- tle-raisivg. The ranches of Frewen and Barber (Koglishmen), on the Upper Pow- der, ave models of what hovae ranches should be, and the establishments of Lynde Palmer and Edmund Seymour, on the Blg Timber range, ara almost perfect mlt]mr detatls for the breeding of mule colts, MULE This pursult, togother with sheep- growing, must ere long share with the cattle business in becoming onc of the leading Industrles of the wonderful northwest. Horse-growers are begin- ning to belleve that there Is more money in breeding old mares tb good jacks than to stallions, andas there is alwaysa ready market within the territory for draft animals; we may oxpect to see this year the breeding of mule colts exten- slvely engaged In by former horss-grow- The accounts from bels RAISING, from corrals, entlelng them the ranches wherc they belong, is also true of this seotlon. Cowlioys riding the ranges report seeing every now and then small bands of horses” flylng over the plains, and from other reports bronght in by reliable psrtles to the eams effect, 1t 1s raasonable o believe that at the present time no emall number of unclaimed horses are In the territory, If the sys- tem of round-ups spoken of elsswhere goes Into effect, nearly all of these wild steeds could be gathered In and branded . THE WINTERIRG OF STOCK, From the various conflicticg reports that have gone out concernlng cattle in Montana and how they suifered during December and January from icy blizzards and cold northers, many people no doubt formed crroneous impresslons of this sec- tlon as favorable to cattle growing, Now that all danger from cold is passed, it iy no more thanffair to state the real facts in the matter, and remove the false idess by glving actual damsge and loss to stock from all causee. To sum it up In a few words, the loes is less than at any time year, Since the middle of Fcbraa nooks have been constantly blowing, snd eince that date there has been no suow to speak of on the ground. Of course December and January were cold, and no one denies it. But the dry cold weather of Montana has been making bet- ter beef during December and Januery than cattle have basen dcing in the east with cheap feed and shelter, Asit happens thuroru plenty of artificial shelter among our hills, which, taken with the rich, nutritlous grasses everywhere to be found, makes this the finest stock coun try in the world, To be sure, the ther: mometer doce go down very low some times, but its etlects are scarcely ever felt by the animals, as the very dryness of the atmosphere is a sure protection against extreme cold, 1o & moist climate the low tendencies of the thermometer would be deadly to cattle, who could not protect themselves agalnst the cuttio, blasts blt‘::::.dvhm flu.‘n:;d bk:;, nof angs raus 1u it to stock, and the ririty of the atmosphera pravents thy snow from crasting, which Insures plerty of foed at a1l times, WINTER GRASS, Oattle ara"wintersd simply By turged looss upon the free ranges, and cowboys wateh trem from time to time, keoping them moving when a cold snap pravails, They sttempt to *‘bunch when {6 I8 very cold. turaing their hesos inward, and in this way those in the center are crowded and orashed by others formlng in a elrcle on the outside. The cowboys follow the herds; and are on the lookout to break up bunching. Grass In Montana cures on the ground without rotting, and durlng the winter time Is equal to the best hay. There is plonty of 1t at all seasons of the year, and cattle get all the feed they want. Thers would be great dangerto these northern ranges If the snow should either crast or plle up so that the anim: could not reach the' grass beneath; the atmorphera being so dry, the snow is llke dust, has nomoisture, and is blown hither and thither by every wind, thus keeping the grass always exposed. For the same rcason It does not crust It must be different down along the Unlon *Pacific railroad, where the snow A BISH, Another Alleged Dak b Brought to Town, and the Usual " Rush Has Set In, St. Paul Ploneer- Press, Bismanck, Maroh 87.-—Bismarck hLas beew joyousiy excited over reporied gold dlscoveries in the hilly country six mtles east and twenty-three miles north of this clty. Eight miningclalms were filed this morning, all in the southwest quacter of section 4, townahip 142, range 79, aa fol- lows: Augusta, b{ Paul Heinze; Good Luck, by Jossph Eastwood; Buffalo Gap, by Uimothy Harrigan: St. Paul, by George ", Johnson; Bonanzs, by James H. Oot- tol rmitage, by John Davidson, Mar- % | blehead, by George H. Sweet; Northern Pacific, by Thornton Marble. These claims cover a small valley on a ravine in the hills just east of Painted Woods, The htlls each slde are said to be covered with and probably formed of volcanic lava and scorisc. The claimants above named returned from the locallly fall is certa nly heavier and the atmo:- phere moist v, It oan be readily seen that the ¢old of the norihwoest is a bene- fit, rather than a disadvantage, to cattle growing, The ranges being free and so vast in oxtout cattle owners can’t tell, as a usual thing, how many cattle they have until the prand round ups each spring. The spring round-up is principally for the branding of calves, while the fall round up is held for the cutting out of marketable beeves. If there are any beeves fit for market,at the spring round- up, which is certalnly the case this year they are torned upon choice ranges until ready for shipment. THE WATER QUESTION, One drawback in the minds of many to the successful raising of cattle in Mon- tana is the absence of water. This ob- jection In time will be obviated by the sinking of arteslan wells wherever prac- ticable. There are many locallties from Dakota to the Rocky Mountains where wells could be sunk atlight expense, thus converting dry places into green pastures, Mr, W. D. Pegiam experi- mented on the waterless plains near Bil ings not long slnce and by digging and borlng obtained pure water at a smal depth. ,He then put up three wind mills and made large troughs to hold the water. The plan was a success, and now Mr. Pegram his soveral thousand head of cattle ranging cn good gaass. The absencs of salt from this section has been deplored, too, as another disad— vantage to stock growing. It has been discovered that in drinking from the va- rlous streams watering the different ranges, cattle take in more or less alkali, which answera the parpoee fully as well as salt. Thas, one by one all of the objec- tions advanced have been answered. This year will gee abig boom in the cattle business of Montana, The drlve in may not be as Jarge as last season, ow- ing to the failure ofthe cattle trail sacheme snd the varlous quarantine laws. But there promises to be a heavy Influx from both east and weat, from Iowa and Ore- gon, all of which will be handled by the Northern Pacific railroad. This great corporation, unlike others of its kind, should be called the cattlemen’s friend. They are fosterlng the stock business of Montana In every imaginable way, and to this end are out In a new schedule of live stock rates, which gladdens the cattle- men’s hearte, Cattle can ncw be ex- ported or imported at better figures than ever before. SPARSELY OCCUPIED EA The ranges of Montana ara reasonably full, though not by any means crowded. Between the Yellowstone and Missouri ovening, bringing eeveral small boxes and bags of ore. It app of granite formation, corresponding in coarse gran- ular appearance to boulders found all over the northwest, but containing au unusaally large proportion of shinlng, yellow spots and points, All specimens brought haye been heated as hot as possi- ble in open-air fires. The prospectors say that when they took therack from the ground it was dark, showing no yellow, shining particles. When reasted in the fire the rock fell Into fragments, some of which were like decomposed sand rock, and could be rubbed away with the fingers, while others now .howing the shining, yellow spots and points were red and gray appearing, like granite, but breaking easily. THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERY, They say the orlginal discovery was made by Marbloe several months ago; that he communicated it to friends too late for thorough prospecting last fall, and that two weeks ago, as soon as the snow went out of the valley where the discovery was made, they had a prespect hole sunk six feet, which was enough to prove that the ore was not an accident of the drift period, but an outcropping of an immenee mass of rock lifted up by some volcanic actlon of remote ages. Thele cre speclmens have to-day heen subjected to all the tests the town could supply, and are claimed to answer for gold ore in fire and aclds, with crushing and washing, and in combining w!th quicksilver. There are many believers in the alleged dlscovery, and excltement has run high. A number of prospectors have already s'arted for the vicinity of the claims located snd more will go to-mor- TOW, THOSE OF LITTLE FATTH, A tew old miners In town and some others have no faith In the discovery.

Tom Wariner came In from the mines to-night and will go back in the morning with a party of six friends.

A gocd many cattle are prazing on the Crow reservation, while the immense Plegan-Blood reservation in the north is supporting a number of herds belonging to white men, who pay no rent for the ground., The cattle business in Montana Is all right. Last winter was the severest ever known. All kinds of stock, pilgrims and naiver, have pulled through with a loss of less than five per cent, and arsat present in fine form. By the end of 1885, Montana will have the best show- Ing, regarding cattle, of any other state or territory in the union. J.M.
