Milk River Valley News. Vol. 1. BEAUTIES OF THE BIG FAM. Our Correspondent Describes the Beautiful Flower Gardens At St. Louis. St. Loris, Mo., Aug. 25 — (Special cor respondence.)—Close to that point which marks the center of population in the United States stands a new city, palpi tating with the life of past, 'present and future, a city of ivory white and rainbow Colors that was builded in 1- bb than three years’ time at a cost of 860,000,000, and which contains treasures the purse of Fortunatos could not buy A creature of motion is this new city, animation pervading all displays, and from sunrise until the great bell that is embowered in flowers sounds the hour of 11 post meridian, on six days of the week, until December 1, it will be as a moving picture before the millions who come within the walls. Such is the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition, Covering 1240 acres of ground, that crowns with its magnificent build ings bills of green, throws bits of fan taslio color into forests of maple, hickory and oak, and occupies a vest plain with giants of architectural skill. Il has been created in celebration of the greatest peace conquest known in the history of the world—the purchase of Louisiana Territory from France, a land from which fourteen states and ter ritories have been carved and which one hnndred and one years ago cost but one qnarter the expense of this triumph in -■ World's Fair building. ■ The life of the past which confronts I the visitor is the best that has come to F us from the ages that are gone, in which | reivealment China joins for tbe first time and lifts the veil that h^s masked cen turies; in which Japan shows the foun dation that was laid long ago for the ' nation of today; in which India, Africa, Abyssinia, Ceylon, South America, Eu rope—all tbe world, in fact, present re sults that were achieved by master minds even before the commencement of the Christian era. The life of the present is a whirling maze of exhibits, from tbe tiny wheel which eats into tbe diamond to theenor mous engine that is as large as a three story residence; from the manufacture of a graphite pencil by tbe aid of elec tricity, to the building of a book. The life of tbe fu'ure speaks to one through tbe airship, tbe boat which travels on the bottom of tbe ocean, tbe tests in laboritories that bring forth surprises at every turn, and the ever multiplying experiments with new farces. Place yourself at an altitude where yeu can 1< ok down upon the Exposition. Four pictures, each with its own motif, . are spread befoie you. That which at tracts first attention glitters as with silver that has been poured between ornate structures whose predominate color-tone is of rich cream. In places the silver lenj a and sparkles in the sun light; in others it. lies quiet, and throws buck rays hie a mirror. Gradually this picture will assume shape of a segment of a circle, then appeal to you as carved in imitation of a lady’s fan. Lagoons which form the threads of silver—sunken gardens and broad boulevards aro the ribs of this fan picture; between them are eight great exhibit buildings, and at the bundle is the H dl of Festivals, con nected uith the body by the Colonnade of States. Leaping down into tne main lagoon are three cascades, always sparkling, and the murmur of the rush ing water comes to you abuxe the other sounds. NexX the eye travels to the western half <f the site, where Flora reigns as queen. Sha has captured the largest building on the grounds—the Palace of Agriculture and also two satellites, Horticulture aid Forestry, Fish and Onnie. Here < n banks of green one reads the biht<»iy of Louieianu Territory, told in here one reads the lime of day by flowers; here one sees a rose garden < f six acres, a wild garden of sev eral ucr»e, a for ♦ at, a field of cotton, a field ofbuc“ , « plantation of coffee and ap an unou of su;ur cane.

Tbe third picture is to the southeast of the first ond its different parts are on bills and in dales, while trees throw out protecting arms in places here and there. This picture appeals to those who long for glimpses of home life; it is classified as the Plateau of States, and forty com monwealths of tbe United States are there represented with buildings typical of their prevailing styles of architecture. Standing between the first picture and the third, almost like a protecting bul wark, is the large palace erected by the Federal government, in which are stored priceless treasures transported from Washington and other sections of this great domain. Whet a bizarre picture is the fourth, as it stretches over a straightaway mile, then branches at right tingles, forming an elongated letter E! Here enow clad Alps border tbe domes and minarets of a Turkish village! Here tbe fairy-like buildings of Japan nestle under the wing of North Pole icebergs: here China is linked with South Africa and Egypt, with the land of the Esquimaux; here are camels and Shetland ponies; lions from the desert and hummingbirds from tbe jungle. It is The Pike—all that makes up the gaiety of the world placed on exhibition for the lover of light amusement, and from thia place comes tbe strange notes of the tomtom and tbe mellow strains of a band, stationed near the Blarney stone that is playing “The Wearing of the Green.” | One might even conceive a fifth pic ture, former of the foreign government buildings that border Administration boulevard and have in the background the gray stone palaces occupied by tbe administrative forces, the Congresses, lovers of physical culture and as dormi tories for those who must pass the nights within the site. In the foreground pic turesque China, its pagoda roofs orna men ted with tiny gods, decorated in fanciful colors, is bordered on tbe east by England, in severe time-worn stone; on the west by Belgium, a towering modern structure, and on the south by airy Cuba. Opposite, Austria and Swe den open their doors. In the rear of Belgium towers Brazil, ornate in arcbi lecture. LeGraude Trainon, with its lovely gardens, is typical of France; a castle is the home of Germany; Ceylon’s verandas speak of tbe climate of that country; Mexico and Siam curry one to those regions, and upon a hill top Japan exhibits in a villiago the art of the Orient.

Cyanide Process Assisting in Development of District First Cyanide Mill. There is a prospect of the mining camp in the Little Hookies proving the best cyanide district in the state. Years' ago it was thought to be a gnod gold camp, and a number of Helena men lo cated claims there, but that was before the cyanide treatment of ore had been accepted as a distinct success, and as the district was remote fr« ( m a railroad and the ores not suscept ibid to free mill ing, most of (he holdings were allowed to lapse. Since then other mining rnen h'lve gone into the camp and adopted modern methods for the treatment'of the class of ore found there. 'I he first cyanide mill was put in about a year sg i by E. W King and others It has a capacity of 90 ton an day and is^ working on a big lead. The mill is situ atad in Ja gulch three-quarters of a mile from the mine, the ore being trammed that distance to the mill in cars. The mine and mill are working steadily and the pr< duct in precious metals it said to be satisfactory to the owners The same process of milling is used as that used nt the Barnes-King mines m Fergus county, consisting rolls for crumbing the ore and cyanide tanks. E. W. King, who is one of the heaviest stockholders in this mining enterprise, is president of the Barnes-King mining company. Another mill is soon to be built in the district, of the same pattern and capacity as the new one operating there. This new mill is to be put in by Charles Whitcomb and associates, who own about sixty claims in ihe district. Mr. Whitcomb wor in H* tana du r ing the I a tit week and pun’bas^d n large supply of matariMl for mining. He left Sunday night for the north. Mr. Whitcomb is also interested in sheepraising in the Little Rockies and ban been a resident of that section for the past six years. He is a practical assayer and mining man as well as a blockgrower Ihe lend from which the ore is to be taken to supply* lb* tew mill in claimed to । o 5 t fvet wide wit • uu average value of $24 to lbw to in Harlem, Montana, Wednesday, September 7,1904.

He was in tbe employ of George Can uingham as a herder.

While waiting for bis turn be got hold of a gnn belonging to hie employer and had it pointed at hie head, but Cun ningham jumped and grabbed it and re fused to let him have it again. Later be found another gnn and in tbe absence of all hands he spread a tarpaulin over some salt, braced his feet to the ground, bis back agaii st tbe tarpaulin placed tbegne between his knees and sent a bullet into bis head near the eye. Tbe tarpaulin fell over his face. He was in this position when John Ebaugh, hap pening along, found him dead, hie faiih fnl dog lying at his feet. Ebaugh tele graphed to Judge Wilson, who in turn notified Coroner Piper, of Chouteau county. These two gentlemen went to the scene of ihe tragedy Saturday morn ing.
