The Huron Expositor, 1879-01-24, Page 6THE HURON EXPOSITOR. 0 Montana Cattle:Raising.. HELENA, Montana Territory, t December 9, 1878.1 There is probably no other extent of territory within the boundaries of the United States and having no larger pop- ulation that can show a agree otproaress eqnalliug in solidity that of Mon • during the last few years. Accor to the best estimates, there are more than thirts? thousand people tributecl over her wide., domain, cover- ing almost one huadred and forty-five thousand square Miles, or nearly three times the area of New York state. But, small as it is, this is an active popula- tion, all contributing blood and brain to the energetic deyelopment of the rich resources that invite to toil and. reward industry. In the year 1877 the total assessment of the territory amounted to more than $11,000,000, while the whole registered public debt was less than 6108,000—$10,000 less than it was in 1876. The county indebtedness de- creased nearly $30,000 daring .the last year, or six per centum of its entire • amount, while the bonus of three of the ptinciped counties are fairly at pat, or mord, to -day. In the assessment refer- red to the eniuneratio-n of cattle was. one hundred and eighty-twe thousand • six hundred and fifty-nine head, all ages, valued at more than two millions of dollars. To this amount must be added fully fifty per centum this year, and then far less thin the real value will be covered by the assessment. While the great fame of this region is, owing chiefly to its mineral rie,hes, not a little of its future glory will result from its value as a grazing country, where durink its long winters horses, sheep and cattle subsist upon the nutritious grasses that make these val- leys remarkable, and almost without care or attention. highways. For a distance of al out fifty miles above the Great Falls he "long pool " extends up the river, its quiet waters being almost as ea ily uavigated as those of the Hudson, nd at a comparatively small outlay d is thohght that the channel can be .uf- ficiently enlarged and extend.ed to al ow. tana ding light draught boats to coine wit in fifteen miles of Helena, delive ing u.ot freight at far less expense andtin m ch.

Pr Through the kindness of a friend I am enabled to give some figures show. • ing the profits of sheep culture, founded upon his actual returns. In October, - 1875, he took on shares one tho.usand au ewes for four years. During ,the first an winter a' few died, but his 'increase la amounted to one thorisand and fifty, th half of which were ewes, so that at'the end ot the first year he had more than two thousand head. This year he shared three thetsand three hundred aud the larnbs number one thousand five hundred, making a total of four thousand eight hundred head in the flock. With fair increase his lambs will next year number two thousand fivb hundred, or, at the end of -four a (in October, 1879), he will have year not less than seven thousand head valued at $16,000. Tlis uhare of the wool -clip will more than pay his ex - pensee, so that in the end he will be able to return the original number, —one thousaad ewes—auci half tho in- crease, and still own a flock worth $6,000, besides having $2,000 in cash as result of his venture. Now, the a other persons in this speculation are not less fortunate. They valued. the one thousand ewes furnislied at $1,000 ; the person taking them paid all taxes and expenses for keepiug during the - four years, gave them half the fleece, aud at the expiration of that period re- turnedthe original number, of average "age, together with half the increase. They' have reci:•ived for wool tho. first year ,F;600 ,; the s.econd, $1,000; tlfe • third, $1,500. and will receive next. year about $2,200 ; or on aminvestment of ‘1,000 for four years tliey will receive -the original amount, namely, • one thouss.nd GWCS. and. not less than two hundred tunIfiftypb:.centum, or twenty- five hundred head of sheep, additional hacrease and $5,300 in cash! A fair increase in eheep raising is eighty per centum, but during the last two • years it' has reached as high as one hundred, • and in some cases even higher.
