ROUNDUP FORGES TO THE i,' Enterprising and Progressive Ginxe: Transform Wilderness Into Thriv ing City of 400 Souls. - - - NEW BUiLDINOS GOING IP LVLRY D\' i Splendid Natural Resources Bound to . Make Roundup the City of Cities in Very Shot» Order. Roundiip i. hist atf'tmihg a met- ' ropolitan appearance and (-re long will have passed thru the stag. which all new town., have to eon tend with, into the realm of city dom with substantia! buildings, up to-date improvement?? and other ! conveniences which tend to make life more pleasant. Every day sees new buildings going up with a ra pidity that would astound one not ! accustomed to tho surprises of the j new towns of the West, while the j fc; trains daily bring an army of hmne I seekers, laborers and business nun looking for locations. When one, : v.c-ws this influx and the rapid i ! growth of tho town, there dm s not ' remain any doubt but that Round j up will be a thriving city of: 1 eonside v a b 1 e size by next 'fall. .Situated, as il is-, on the coast 'extention of the C. M. it St. 1\ Rv. ; on the north bank of ihr Mussel shell liver in Fergus county, with an I ideal townsite. excellent drainage and splendid natural rc-oureos sur rounding. it cannot fail to attract people. Round ! 1 ! j ; The country tributary to Round up is extremely fortunate in having ! suen splendid natural resources as jit commands bestowed upon it. The bottoms of the Musselshell • ja« fertile as any soil anywhere, end are capable of raising bumper crops ! of all kinds* of grains, alfalfa and ; sugar beets. The sugar beets raised j here have been analyzed and found He , to be of a superior sugar-producing i quality, and it is but a question of * time when Roundup will be the i j center of a profitable sugar beet in dustry. The bench land back from ■ tlie river is as fine a land as man ! ever laid eyes on, with soil that is j not to be equalled. Many tlious-j amis of itérés of ibis land is still ; open to the homesteader but is rap-i a idly being taken up—in fact so rapid is the influx of settlers that all available land within -■"> miles ; of Roundup will be filed on in a few months. Those desiring a : homestead will make no mistake by taking up a quarter section of ' these virgin acres, which step The ; Record would strongly advise. Re ! sides this agricultural land there is 'considerable land along the Mussel- ' i ; j f Z , ( In addition to tho.s ♦ I sour« ! shell which may he filed on under the timber and stone a-t. and which j will prove a profitable investment for anyone. natural re-j Roundup is favored with a coal mine tlie product of which is j equal to any mined within the j ♦ ; state of Montana. This mine alone i ♦ ! is sufficient to guarantee a perma- j ♦ tient town here as it will only be a ; ♦ short time when upwards of Ö00 1 ♦ j miners will be employed. I lie J ' property is owned and controlled by ' the Republican Goal Co., who have 'ample capital to develojie the nnm land put in improved machinery to ! facilitate thooutput. Thecompany has prospected here for about lwa,| two years and have found the vein. j which is nearly seven loot thick, of such extant as to warrant them in spending a large sum in developing ! the property. Already a large ; ; amount of new machinery ha« ; arrived here, including three loti l.or*e-power boilers, for which a : permanent brick boiler room is now m course of construction. It is ex ! pee-ted that the daily output of the ; I mine will reach the 3000 ton mark.. ; The company's payroll will be a 1 great boon to Roundup.
