Kendall, Montana, May 12, 1903. 5. IN THE MIDST Of LIMPING. The Demand for Laborers is Large at This Season The Sheep Men of Montana Pray for Warm Weather During the Month of May Spring lambing operations are in . full swing all over the state at the present time and so far as reports have been received here from the various lambing camps in this region, the sheepmen are having excellent success, says the Great Falls Leader. A good, warm month of May is what every Montana sheepman is praying for now and if the weather does not get any colder than it has been for the past few days, there is no reason why there should not be a good per- centage of lambs raised this year. Now and then a sheepman will try the exv2riment of an early lambing. somctimes in April, somatime3 as early as March, so as to have good big lambs, ready for the market as early as July. Although in -some cases the early lambers have had excellent luck, the sum of the experience of sheepmen for years in this state is that May 13 the safest month, as a rule, in Which to lamb, although there have been years when April averaged up as a better month to lamb in than May, so eccentric are the ways of tar Montana spring some times. The kind of shelter provided for sheep during this season, cuts as much et a figure in the results as does the weather. The quality of the help em- ployed around a lambing camp, als- counts up in the returns at the end of the month and the quality of feed. With good sheds, plenty of hay tr feed durinestormy weather and the right kind of men around a camp, r good lambing can be had, even though the weather is unafvorable. One hundred per cent. of lambs raised from a bunch of 2,000 or 3,000 ewes is considered excellent, it might be said an unusual showing, although last year several Cascade county sheepmen ran considerably over the 100 per cent. mark. At the saw.; time, 75 or 80 per cent. is considered by many sheepmen to be a good, aver- age lambing; particularly where there are no sheds for the flock, and the best shelter provided Is that which nature has left, viz: the south side of some high rim rock or deep cut bank of a stream. The spring lambing, together with the extra work Incident to plowing end' seeding among the ranchers, has created quite a demand for laboring men in Great Falls during the past few weeks, but in most cases the farm. er3 and stockmen have been able to get all the help they required. At this season of the year, idle laborers are wont to congregate in Great Falls. Billings and other stock raising cen- ters, knowing that there is always more or less help needed on the stock ranches and farms at this time. It cannot be said that the tide o' travel is all toward the Canada line, despite the great amount of advertis- ing that the Canadian government has been doing in the past few years. Three \shepherds\ from Alberta came down to Great Falls the other day looking for work. They do not call them sheepherders in Canada. After remaining over night they took to the hills and are now all at work no doubt at their favorite occupation. SUE MINING INVESTMENTS Usually Pay More Interest Than Other Enterprises Capitalists Becoming More Careful About Engaging in New Milling Propositions In these days of cheap trion-y, when municipal and government bonds and many classes of industrials ate sought at two and three per cent., a mining investment paying even 12 per cent. looks good to wise capitalists. And yet it is not an uncommon experience for an investment properly managed to yield even 24 per cent. and upwards per annum. This class of investment does not refer even remotely to the buying or shares in the 1,001 companies that are floated chiefly to work the pub- lic, and perhaps incidentally to de- velop a mine. The class of fake pro- moters, while undeniably large, are not prospering so well in landing suckers in the east as of yore. The cstwhile \sucker\ is becoming edu- cated, and no wary trout was ever more wise to the painted fly than are they to the wiles of the promoter. When a proposition is presented nowadays, the promoter must go to the bottom and make a clean showing ti he would do a substantial business. Of course there are a certain number of confidence operators who flourish perennially and adopt the sale of mining shares or traffic in bookmak- ing just &a the opportunity seems to suggest the one oir — the\ The breaking down of these hot - _•_:r schemes clarifies the legitimate mining situation and accounts meas- urably at least, for,the improved de- mand by legitimate investments in mines. When investors will decide to look over the ground themselves and take a business view of the situation, a still greater improvement will be not- ed. This business view includes neces- sarily in Its scope methods of hand- ling ore. It means that hereafter it will not be sufficient in selling a mine to announce that there is so much \ore in sight.\ The queries will at once arise: What is the expense of extraction? What 13 the net cost of treatment and where is the market for the product? The economic side of the invest ment will become more and more prominent as investors are educated as to the inherent merit of the min- ing industry as a dividend produc- er.—The Mining World. • Dr. Gaylord McCoy Successor to Dr. Wiemer Office on First Floor Above the Post Office, Kendall, Montana.
