At this point the Northern Pacific Railroad company are building a, Depot, Section House, Water-'lank, Etc., and m any other substantial improve ments are going on. The town is indo sed by the railroad company, who own a one-half interest in the same, and will do a t m their power to farther i fs interests Thelands lying north and south a,re exceedingly fer He, and west cattle ranches a ie numerous; east are the celebrated\ Mill ( reek, Emigrant Girtch and Six Mile Mining Districts and in the place itself th rijt energy and intelligence are io be loan cl canon g its citizen s. 1 he Villa rcl Mining Co ’s claims adjoin the town on the east. The Gdd and Silver be aring quartzmines in Emigrant Gulch arc very rich- as are the Placer min es. Coal mines within one mile of the town are being vigorously worked; and Iron, Lime and Sand> tone about, d Before the t urn w av plaited, lumber was on the ground for a number of buildingsi and before the town was entirely surveyed buildings were in course of construction.

tains, and have been w ell repaid for all

the trouble in viwing the unknown in her

fancied seclusion of canyons and moun­

tains.

By a good wagon road one leaves the

Yellowstone im m ediately opposite Chick­

ory, over the foot h ills and into tlie Mill

Creek bottom— undoubtedly the best

farming land between the National Park

and Fort Buford, the mouth of

the Yellowstone, and the writer uses

tlio expression from personal observation

of the entire distance, on foot and horse­

back. W e reached that spot of M ill

Creek at the moutli of the right hand fork

or the stream about three o’clock in the

afternoon and camped in the Pealed Cab­

in, picketed the animals and started for

the head of Arastra creek, a tributary of

the “Right Hand Fork,” reaching Kripp­

ner, a new town a m ile down the Arastra

from its source footsore and tired. After

supper we were entertained by Daniel

Courtney, proprietor of the Krippner

house, the only hotel in the place. The

town is started on the_ western end of the

Montana Queen lode, with the Sadie and

Mamie on the south and a portion of the

Mary on the north. On the west and

southwest are the Mammoth and W illina

lodes, being the only locations in the up ­

per end of the gu lch . Below is the

Stella (which has recently been incorpor­

ated) and adjoining claim s are the Legal

Tender on the w est and Cliff on the cast.Q

Further down are the D . Courtney and

some thirty other locations. The placer

claim s commence at Kripprer and run

down the creek, being D . Courtney's

Geo. H . W right’s and Sam LeRoy’s, the

Grace and H elen, and Jas. Krippner's

Am not an expert but war shown reports

of assays and rock from the same leads

which looks w ell, and have exhibited

specimens to those who are not interested

in or have ever seen that country, who

pronounce them good. The Mammoth,

W iilma and Mary are all side by side and

present the appearance of being under

the surface rock, a solid mass of galena

ore, carrying gold and silver, iron, copper

and arsenical rock unite w ith it, but are

more clearly marked in the Cliff lode.

The Dandy Boy and B ull Dozen, are fine

grained galena veins and w ill run $30 to

the ton on either lode. The M ill Creek

Alining Company have located from the

Pealed Cabin the whole of the R ight

Hand Fork as far and beyond the mouth

of Arastra creek. The wdiole of the

country is new— new to the prospector,

and perhaps while not assaying or pan­

ning as m uch per ton or pan as other

localities, it has this advantage over a

great many and not excelled, perhaps by

any locality in the vast quantity of miner­

al deposits im bedded in the heartz and

seams of the vast mountains. I t is there

pietucquc America m ight not be claim ed

as an actually discovered spot until he

who presents such a picture has passed

the M ill creek canyon and seen this ro­

mantic spot that does rival any of them,

steep walls that rise perpendicularly a

thousand feet, w ith narrow valley, heavily

timbered through which madly passes the

stream that gives the njmie to the dis­

trict, and for two mile3 the tresspasser fo l­

lows the game trail until the Lower Park

is reached, a spot a half a m ile w ide and

extending four m iles, divided from the

middle Park by the still more turbulent

Right Hand Fork. The M iddle Park ex ­

tending on up the main stream is lost in

the countless gulches, and valleys of other

tributary streams. The points of interest

on Sentinel Rock, a huge 20 foot boulder,

at the ford and broken bridge, Eagle Cliff

and the Apolinar’s Springs on the north

and the densely timbered mountains on

the east side. Game is everywhere plen-

ifu l, elk , bear, deer, grouse, prairie chick­en pine hens, (about the size of a turkey),

mountain parrots, magpies and robin red

breasts. The streams are filled with black

and speckled species of trout. In the way

of fruits are many varieties of curants, red

and black raspberries, blackberries, goose­

berries bearing so heavily that the branch­es nearly .lie on the ground— Oregon

grapA, servis berries and mountain ash.

These, together with many— to us— en-

tiroly new’ specimens of fruits, afford food

for the flocks of birds and the bear. F low ­

ers, common to the Yellowstone valley in

April, May and June, are at this season

adding their beauty and purity, w ith the

luxuriant growth of green grass, sw eet

and nutritious, w’ith the darker and light­

er timber shades of green, bleak mount­

ains, peaks, rocks and slides, M)C creek

rushing over its stony bed, the blue sky

aliove, with here and there its clouds,

white patches of snow in nearly every d i­

rection; tiny log cabins in the gulches and

on the mountain sides, waterfalls and

pools combine to make this series of parks

like many other apartments opening into

the grand theater, the Y ellowstone valley,

a world in miniature, when fancy and od­

dity in the design and workmanship held

fu ll sway of the brain of nature. The

most attractive spots in the Arastra gu lcb

are the Lilian falls, thirty feet, and the

Courtney falls, sixty feet, together w ith

several series of rapids, and from there

down to a spot where the whole volum e

of the Arastra runs a thousand inches of

water suddenly bids good bye to sunlight

and for two m iles runs in bedrock, com ing

out again furttyjr down the canyon. A t

the bead of the gu lch is Lake of the

mountains, the head of Arastra creek,

ly ing in its clover surroundings lik e a

mirror. Still higher we clim bed until we

reached the divide to Emigrant gulch, a

watershead, yet exhibiting eloquently how

rivers as grand and majestic as the Y el­

lowstone, Missouri and Mississippi, Y a-

kon, Amazon, YTangtsihiang, N ile find

teir source. On the other side of the di­

vide is a lake of solid ice, the surface of

which daily withstands and holds aloof

from the sun’s amorous rays, occasionally

thawing to a slight depth, but repenting

each such exhibition of weakness after

the solar center has set. A visit to this?

charming locality, or any similar stream

up the river, either on a hunting expedi­

tion or prospecting tour would w ell repay

anv Montanian tourist. Am indebted

to A . J . Bent and John Bryce, m ost ac­

com m odating gentlem en, and others m en­

tioned, and found that every man I m et

had a heart in him “as b ig as an e lk .”M i l t .

Value o f Skimmed Milk.Recent investigations by the German

chem ists, Ritthausen and J . König, have led to important conclusions. They are to the effect that the nutritive value of skimmed mi^k is much higher than is generally supposed. Accord­ing to these,the price paid for the albu­minoids in skimmed milk is lower than that paid for them in any of the ordi­nary foods in the market, excepting stock-fish. The former chemist state« that about two quarts of this milk con­tain as much nitrogenous matter as « pound of meat, and the latter that & given number of nutritive units of the milk cost about 74 per cent, less than pork and still less than butter.

W hile further experiments may some­what modify these conclusions, they are sufficiently accurate to show that the popular prejudice against skimmed milk is unfounded, provided the article is unadulterated. I t is known that the proportion of fatty matter in unskimmed milk is not more than 4 per cent., and while this ingredient may be very neces­sary to make the milk suitable for the use of children and anæmic persons, there are large classes of milk consum­ers who can do as w ell or better with­out it. The great difficulty with skimmed milk is that of getting it pure and undiluted. B ut the same may be said of unskimmed milk.

If, however, the city authorities took proper precautions to prevent the sale of both When diluted and adulterated, the cheaper article might be safely em­ployed on a large scale for purposes for which the unskimmed article is now u*ed. W ere this done, and creamlcss m ilk more generally used, a very con­siderable economy could be effected by consumers, the amount of cream le ft for the creameries would be so much increased that we m ight hope for cheaper butter, and- with the reduced demand in cities for unskimmed m ilk the public would* not have to pay 10 cents a quart for it .—New YorkTTeraM.
