CHINOOK , Mont. , May 2. ( Special. ) The
stockmen -Montana at their two days' cattle -
tlo convention hero completed arrangementn
for the great spring round-up of flfteon oattlo
ranges ttlbutary to this place. The round
up will begin May 20 , and from that day
until July 1 a small army of cowboys will
go circling about the plalrs of the Milk
I Ivor volley , the foothills of the Dear Paw
range , over every square mile In the vast
territory Included within the control of the
round-up association , cutting out the cows
that belong to the varloua outfits , branding
calves and In many Instances transferring
Btrays back to their proper range. Each
outnt will Include one cowboy for each of
the other ranges In the eesoclatlon , or , In
some coses , representing large pools , who
will look after the IntercstB of their employ ,
crs. When cattle , for Instance , belonging to
the Dear Paw pool are found on the Shonkln
range or one more distant , they may bo
driven back to tholr own range , although
for the most par' , few transfers are made
of either steers or cows , unless they have
wondered across the Milk river and so In
danger of straying to the Canadian line.
Each "rep , " as ho Is called , sees that the
calves of hlo employers are branded and In
case ho la directed to move the stock to the
liome range , the cattle are cut out and driven
away ,
Slnco the ejstem of Inspection was es
tablished at the stock yard cattlemen In
Montana are not so anxious os formerly about
confining their beef to their own ranges , for
H tfiey are by accident shipped with the cattle -
tlo of other pools or outfit/3 / to market , tUo
Interest of the real owner Is euro to receive
about as much attention as If he shipped
them himself. Such etrayo will bo sold. In
the market and after the cost of transporta
tion and the charges ot the commlsalon will
bo returned to the onoer through W. O.
Prcultt , secretary of the etato board of stock
commlfsloners. For that reaaon cattle are
moved now from ono range to another much
lees than formerly.
TWO HOUND-UP SEASONS.
After a ecason of refit In July , the cow
boy will again go cavorting over the plains
on hla wlrey little cayuse. cutting out the
'beef ' steers that belong to the various out
fits and tranffertag them to their proper
range and to shipping points. From August
1 until about the mlddTe of November the
cowboy la riding day and night , camping
with the "grub" wagon , eating the beet the
land affords and sleeping when ho gets a
etmnce. Then again comes a long period
of Inactivity , for when the snows cover the
plains and old Jack Frcst closes the rlvera
sid ponds , there Is nothing for the cowboys
to do except to gather Into the llttlo towns
adjacent to the ranges and enjoy the pro
ceeds of their sutnmer'a wotk. Some of
them , of course , are kept busy through the
winter , but many of them are from neces-
elty Idle. Then the spring round-up begtas
and the cowboy Is again to the saddle and
ki his element.
Chinook , the shipping point of many of
the ranges Included within the jurlsdlcton
of the Uound-up association , la an enter
prising little town of 400 residents. It Is
a quiet town ordinarily when the cowboyu
anil cattlemen are busy on the ranges und
the farmer * on the Milk river valley toavo
no time to waste , but It wakes up ocoa-
elonally when the rough riders from the
cililns and hills about come trooping in rrom
the range. During the shippingseason [ ,
there Is no busier Jlttle town In Montana.
Cattle by the thousands are loaded into
trains there for the eastern market and
hundreds of thousand * of pounds of wool
are hauled la from neighboring efaeep
ranches and put qn board tralna also for
the east. Chinook claims the distinction of
being the heaviest shipping point In Mon
tana , the population of the town being con
sidered. Tralnload after tralnload ot cattle
were shipped from the little station last
ecason. luui-
your all through the shipping
roads do not let the public Into their con
fidence when It cornea to the amount ot
Block shipments ; that ! a cart of the bus
iness , their representatives eiy. that they
prefer to keep from their business rivals.
"With wool shipment. * , however , It la differ
ent. During the year there were shipped
over the Great Northern road from Chinook
1.2JO.OOO pounds of wool. This year the
Bhlpments of both cattle , sheep and -wool
promise to to aa heavy as lost.
TYPICAL RANpE TOWN.
U Is not the stock Interests alone that
jnako Chinook jf. prosperous little town. The
( Milk river valley Is slowly but surely de
veloping into a rich farming country. Near
Chinook are many large farms which are
Irrigated by a canal from the Milk river.
Where water has been applied to the Milk
river lands the rerults have been surprising.
The largest kinds of crops have been raised.
Oats and wheat can be grown with all the
certainty and success that attend farming In
the more noted and older agricultural val
leys of the state. Enormous crops of hay
are ralfed from Irrigated lands and that part
of the Industry Is becoming moro Important
each year , as more feeding la done In the
country tributary to Chinook than ever be-
fore. It Is predicted that before a gr at
many years have passed the stock Industry
of northern Montana will bo confined In Urge
part to stock ranches and that the present
methods of ranging cattle over vast un
claimed hllk ) and plains will have passed
4(5 of existence. When that comes about
jnoro feed for stock will bo raised , probably ,
than anything else on Milk river farms , for
winter feeding will then be a necesalty
among stock owners. Howe\cr , the day Is
long distant when the public range will be
altogether abandoned In northern Montana.
The valley of the Milk river Is one of the
teat natural range countries In the world. It
Is said by these who have had experience
that It U now the bc.it In the United States.
It has been recognized as an Ideal cpun-
try for years and the result bos been that
many thousands ot cattle were taken to the
1 range until It la now said to be over
crowded. The plain tr tches from all oldes
I ot Chinook are as level , almost , as a floor.
. To the south are the rugged peaks ot the
Dear Paw mountains , their barren tops to a
J tenderfoot apparently emerging from the
i plain only a few miles away. The mountains
I Bklrt the Bear Paw range , "Which extends
J about sixty miles south.of-Chinook to the
' Allssonrl river. To the north la the great
Shonkln range , extending In ono great pUtn
to the DrltUh line ; to the east lle the range
occupied by the Bloom Cattle company , M.
12. Mllncr and Robert. Coburn. In all that t
vast plain no cuttle are tn Bight from Chi
nook , and yet the Yallcjv and the hllla

SEATTLE , Wash. , MUy 2. ( Special. ) The
government reindeer expedition ! o having all
kinds of trouble at Halnca MUalon , accordIng -
Ing to the reports ot passengers of the
steamer Cottage City , which arrived here
Tuesday. The deer are said to be dying
rapidly , owing to the lack ot moss , which
Is their customary food. The government
officers In charge of the reindeer are oald
to bo disgusted with the whole proposition ,
and do not believe that nwny of the animals
will llvo to reach the interior. An Investiga
tion of the Dalton trail for twenty-five
miles made a few weeks ago showed , It Is
alleged , that there was not enough moss to
bo found to feed half the deer that are to
go In that way , and that It Is such that the
reindeer will probably refuse to eat It.
"Whea Rev. Sheldon Jaeknon left Halnes
Mltalon three necks ago ten dear had died.
Dr. Jackson said , when In this city , that
many others were sick , but that they would
probably come around all right when driven
Into the mountains. Ho raid that It was
the Intention of these In charge to drive
the deer back from the water. One hundred
of the animals were taken aboard the
steamer Valencia at Halnes Mission and
liavo probably been tended by this time at
Cook Inlet and Copper river. The other deer
are to bo driven In over the Dalton trail and
then northwest to the waters ot the Will to
river. The herd Is then to be driven down
the river to Bella Isle , where a military
reservation will be established.
These were the final flans decided upon ,
but whether they can bo carried out or
not dcpoads greatly on whether the deer
hold out. According to advices brought
down by the Cottage City , large numbers
of reindeer are dying. The exact num
ber that has given up the fight for life in
a strange country Is not known. The deer
are supposed to bo back in the mountains , a
considerable distance from the shore of
1/ynn canal. The original herd consisted ot
537 trained reindeer , but the number was
lessened by death during the trip from Lap
land to Seattle. The , steamer that carried
the deer across the ocean brought 400 tons
of reindeer moss , which lasted the herd until
the trip to Halnes Mlralon had been com *
pleted. 'The deer did not take well to the
hay which was given them when the supply
of moss was exhausted.
Men were 'recently ' sent out from the mis
sion to explore the Dalton trail beyond
Chllcat pass for moss. It Is said they went
In a distance of twenty-five miles without
finding any quantity of the much desired
food. The moss found Is not like the Norway
or Lapland moss. It differs very materially
from the food to which the reindeer have
been accustomed.
If moss .In . sufficient quantities cannot be
found the herd la doomed , for they will
quickly die off with only hay for food. If
the reindeer die the government will have a
small mob of curious people on Its hands.
The expedition , which 'was originally In
tended to carry relief to Dawson miners , has
already cost the government thousands ot
dollars. It will cost considerably more to
get -the 'Laplanders back to their home.

LEAD , S. D. , May 2. ( Special. ) Ruby
Basin Is comparatively a new mining
district. The mines that have been
opened bare proven to bo heavy
producers of a high grade ore. A
largo amount of the mlnleral land Is owned
by the Deadwood and Delaware company. A
few months ago a abaft known aa the Dela
ware was commenced two miles south of
the most oxtrcmo workings , In an entirely
new district. The development of the shaft
has been watched with great Interest , for Its
succesa moans the opening up of a laige
mining area. This week , at a depth of 375
feet , the diamond drill penetrated through a
layer of ehalo Into ore which has the sem
blance of the ore found In the district higher
up In the producing mince ,
Twentj-i-fivo tons of ore are being shipped
dally from the .American Express group In
the 'Dlacktall district , recently purchased by
W. W. Jamison of Seattle , Wash. , and W. S.
Elder of Deadwood. The amount of ship
ments la oo on to be Increased to forty tons a
day. The ere averages $25 a ton , with as-
tuys as high as $123 a ton. The ore body
\a \ twenty-flvd feet wldo and ten feet thick
and extends through several claims 1,000 feet
or more.
It Is expected that the Two Dears mlno In
Strawberry gulch , owned by the D. and D.
company , will bo reopened soon.
The strike of pyrltlc ore which was an
nounced Jast week In the Golden Crest shaft
at Two Bit , one mile from the original
shaft , has proven to be aa large as ex
pected. The shaft has been pushed
through twenty feet of the pyrltlc ore , which
Is nearly as thick as the Hardln ore body.
The ore Is a fair grade and Tcsemblea some
of the Hardln ore and Is also similar to
that found In the Two Bears mlno la Straw
berry gulch. This strike of p > ritlc ore co
far from the Hurdln shaft Is proof to many
that the entire country la underlaid with a
uniform body of ore.
There Is an activity around the Bald
mountain district that la far better than a
boom. The mines are all producing ore
and no unnecessary talk la being made about
It. The Golden Reward company la workIng -
Ing about 125 men In the Tornado , Ruby Bell
and Little Bonanza. The Horseshoe com
pany Is working about seventy-flve men In
the Mogul. This mine has one of the largest
bodies of ore ever exposed In this district.
R. M. Maloney la drifting from the Snowstorm
Into the Baltimore and Richmond claims.
The force of men la being Increased each
week In the Decorah mine and regular ship
ments of ore are being made.
No ere Is being shipped at present from
the Rua and Two Johns mines at the head
of Squaw creek. A large body of ore Is
being blocked out and shipments will bo re
sumed soon. Thla mlno produced $40,000
worth of ore last year. There Is consider
able talk among the mlno owners of the
several mining districts In this vicinity to
build a cyanlte plant near the mines. A
large per cent of the ores hero are best
treated by this procea ? .
The Qllt Edge Mining company was or-
ganlted this week at Hamburg , ' la. It Is
composed principally of members of the Big

Four. On the latter Is a deep Hedge of $43
ore. The now company will begin work
