CONTRACT LET.
It "a announced that the Hello Tourcho
Smelting and Refining company has let a
contract for the erection of a 500-ton smelter
at Belle I-'ourche , work to bo commenced as
soon as possible. The company , recently In
corporated , has purchased the Seth Bullock
if arm of 2,000 acres surrounding the town of
Hell Pourdio ; the Ciunnlocci group of claims
nt Portland and 100 acres of 2holco mlncial
land in Two Hilt. Work of developing tbo
latter ground will bo commenced at onco.
One of tbo best advertisements ot the min
eral wealth of the Black Hills Is the fact
that W. P Shlnn and Thomas Dell of Corn-
ting , la , who have recently returned from
[ Klondike , where they made n fair cleanup ,
Oiavo taken a lease on some placer diggings
1 the Castle Creek district. Whllo they ad
mit that theio are wonderfully rich deposits
in the Klondike region , they are ot the opin
ion that 'If ' the same amount of capital were
dnvcsted In the Black Hills that la required to
nnako the tilp to Klondike the not proceeds
"would " bo greater.
The mlno owners of Ragged Top are work

There Is almost as much work being done

Upon the return ot Superintendent drier
( from the cast It Is expected that some big
improvements In and about the mill and
in.iips of the iHomcstake will be made , 'More '
attention will bo given the concentrates. Tha
Rtlatest hlndianco to further enlargement of
any ono part ot the business Is the lack of
sufficient water. It Is hoped to got a good
supply from the deserted Greenback shaft ,
where experiments are being made with n

HRLHXA. Mont. , Jan. 20. ( Special ) The
etnto of Montana proncaes to ecctiro addl-
tlo-'il land grants from the United States
government It palblc. . There has been
granted to the state from , the general gov
ernment GGS.OOO acres of lend In addition to
two sections In each township for the benefit
of the public schools of the elate * . Other
western states have received much larger
grants , and the state ofllccrs In charge of
the state land department believe that It
may bo possible to secure more land foi'
Montana.
State Land Register II , D. Moore In his
annual report suggested that Montana's con
gressional delegation bo asked to urge the
passage of a low giving the state additional
grants ot 100,000 acres to each grant Insti
tution and 100,000 acres each for the main
tenance of a state Insane 035 Him and a
miners' hospital , or 900,000 acres additional
In the aggregate. The state land register
josterday addressed letters to United States
Scrator Leo Mantle and Representative
Charles S. llartmnn , In which ho explained
why It was Important for Montana to receive *
additional grants of lands from the ginoral
government. A clmlKir letter was addressed

LAND REGISTER'S LETTER.
Dear Sir In my recent annual report to
the governor I made iho following recom
mendation :
"hi v lew of the fact that a large portion
of the lands granted to the \arlous Institu
tions hive been selected as grazing Ian 's and
are of smell value , and , owing to tti" fa "I
that the aqrlcultUKil lands Invo b cn ibout
all taken up by settlers , It will bo neeinsniy
to complete the remaining amount ot selec
tions from tlmbsr lands which will remain
unsold for some jeiis and from gracing
linds whle'a cccinot bo sold , but can be
leased ; I respectfully suggest that the board
by resolution ask our semtors and renre-
scntatlvca to endeavor to secuie fiom con-
press an additional jvrant of 100,000 acres
for each of our Institutions having grants ,
and also 100,000 acies for the establishment
< inil niaintcninco of an Insane asylum , and
the saino amount for a miners' ho-oltal
( these grants having node the state of Utah )
am ! also the additional grant of suctions 2
and 32 In each twonshlp for the benelit of
the common schools As these lando would
bo nccessirlly gracing In ciMracler. It would
work no hardship on anyone , would help our
Institutions In their Infancy and be hailed
with pleasure by the stockmen , as they
would then be able to lease and preserve the
limla from overcrowding. "
This was fovorablv acted ipon by the
State Uoard ot land Commissioners , vvhlc& ,
by resolution , Instructed the attorney gen
eral to draft a suitable memorial and send It
to jour delegation Tills ho has done , and
will send It In triplicate to ea h of > ou. ]
This being n matter of great Interest to j
this state , I take the liberty of addressing ,
you in this behalf , believing that , if a bill '
to this end Is Introduced and pushed , It may
get through.
Tha people of this state will certainly owe |
a debt of gratitude to each of Its delegates I
if It can bo successfully carried through. |
NO AGRICULTURAL LAND.
The situation may be briefly stated as |
follows- The state of Montana has had four I
men in the Held appraising and selecting !
lands during the preceding season and have' '
found less than one section of agricultural
land which could be selected to till up the1
present grants made to our various InstltuI I
tlons , and , after reserving enough
to take In whatever timber lanjs
there arc , wo are obliged. of I
necessity , to take the remainder from graz
ing Miids , which at the rate the Northern
I'aclflc railroad Is selling similar lands , arc .
north about $1 per acre and which can bo
leased at $50 per section. Thus you o.n see
the supposed princely endowment shrink tea
a meager pittance in practice and we are
unable to sell the bonds based on Its se
curity. Therefore the state capltol and other
buildings hang lire.
The lands granted the other states vvcro
far more valuable In character , cxcepl pos
sibly Utah , and its grant is much larger
for Us educational and other institu
tions. ShoulJ ccngrcss accede to our request ,
the lands would necessarily be selected from
the arid .grazing lands and , as there Is at
present no way In which title can be ob
tained to lands of this character from the
government , no one would be the loser , and
these Institutions , now In the early snuggles
of Infancy , would receive the nouiishnient
required to make them strong and health )
Wo can get an annual rental of $30 per
section for these lands and they need never
bo sold , In fact , never w 111 be , at $10 per
acre , the rate fixed by the constitution , but
they will always afford a revenue.
The stocl.men will be greatly pleased If
this ran bo successfully cairled through as
I have now on hand applications for the
selection and leasing of moro than 100,000
acres , or more than the total amount wo
luve left unfilled and not reserved for the
timber lands. The overcrowding of our
ranges Is getting to be a serious matter and
tl ey mubt ho fenced and preserved or the
t > od will bo destroyed and the land become
worthless for years ,
The passage of th s measure will enable us
to afford partial relief and 1 ossure ) ou will
meet with the unanimous approval of the
people of this state. In Us present and fu
ture effects , It will bo the greatest benelit
ever obtained for this state and In case you
succeed , you will bo entitled to the com
mendation of overone , regardless of party
