0848 5/17/67 2 2-3-4 Montana Territorry Letter from L.W. Miller. April 5, 1867. To the News. Few are aware that in a region where but a few years since, none but the hardy hunter and trapper ever dared, there is now a populous state of fabulous mineral and agricultural wealth. Mining is the chief end of man, gold the object of his desires. Miners are the most improvident of all men - frequently persons spend in one night the proceeds of a month's hard labor, an amount that would be considered an independent yearly income in the eastern States. The sluices are "cleaned up" at night, and the gravel and sand washed down in a pan, leaving the "filthy lucre" tempting and shining in the bottom. No one knows until the gold is washed and weighed how much he has made during the day, $5 or $500, according to richness of the claim. A few days ago $2700 was taken out of a six hour run, the property of one man. Claims usually consist of 200 feet up and down the gulch and across the surface of the gulch, side to side. In older gulches wealthy companies are erecting a bedrock flume and the parties expect to realize as much in return as the original pre-emptors. The Elk Creek District is now considered to be the best in the Territory - it consists of Bear, Elk and Deep, and a number of smaller tributary and contiguous gulches. It lies upon the northern border of the Deer Lodge or the Hell-ate Valley. Though poorly worked and scarcely until last summer, it is estimated that $500,000 were taken out before season closed. The Salmon River mines discovered last fall, are about 250 miles from Deer Lodge Valley, near the Idaho line, they are extensive, about 6 ft. deep, mostly fine gold and about an average .10¢ to the pan. Montana as a placer mining district has been surpassed by California alone, but reliance is placed upon the precious metal-bearing quartz to continue the prosperity of the Territory, and in no country does it exist in greater abundance. Many mills have been erected. In most of the valleys, as fine vegetables and cereal grain is produced as grows in any land, and in 5 years the Territory should be self-sustaining. The long cold winters will always be a serious objection to the growth of the population. Congress has passed an act holding in abeyance the laws passed by our Democratic Legislature and has thrown our Territorial machinery into confusion. It is contemplated to construct a road to strike the Missouri River near the muscle-shell, the survey shows that a good road can be constructed from Virginia and Helena cities to that point. This will be but very little longer than the road to Benton and by unloading at Muscleshell, boats will save several hundred miles of the most difficult and dangerous navigation on the river. The rapids will be avoided and boats venture later in the season. Freight will be reduced to 3 or 4¢ per pound from St. Louis to the mining districts.
0848 5/1/67 2 3 Montana Territorry An old resident of Atchison, Missouri writes "I am satisfied that within 2 years, the extensive and fertile valleys of the Territory will supply our population with the products of the soil now brought from the States. As a stock-raising country, it surpasses the best stock country I have known--Stock/thrives summer and winter, without grain or provender, even in winter. The diggings will yield the coming season more that twice the amount of gold of any previous season with many quartz mills and smelters in successful operation. The climate is well adapted to persons afflicted pulmonary affliction.
