Excerpt from Geography and Geology of Fergus County This Geography and Economic Geology of Fergus County is intended to furnish information upon a variety of subjects. It is hoped that it will be of use in the public schools to the casual reader, and to the student. A large amount of research was devoted to securing the historical data and correct origin of geographic names, and the author expresses his sincere thanks for assistance rendered him by many citizens of Fergus County in securing this information, especially to R. Von Tobel and W. A. Hedges. Thanks are also due the Bureau of Agriculture and Publicity at Helena for the plate used in printing the map of Fergus County and to the Cook Reynolds Co. For permission to use several half tones. Superintendent P. V. Cardon of the Moccasin Experiment Station gave some excellent sug gestions for the chapter on soils and their effect on agriculture. There has been a constant demand for general information regarding the geology and mineral resources of the county, and practically every mine, prospect and corner of the county has been visited in the prepara tion of this report. Lack of space forbade a more detailed report, and those in search of detailed information are referred to the special reports listed in the bibliography that contains the more useful of the publications on the county. Publications of U. S. Geological Survey were of much value in the preparation of the chapter on Geology. The author is willing at all times to furnish any further information that may be in his possession and to co-operate with anyone interested in the lines covered by the report. Those wishing a copy of this report can obtain it gratis by addressing the Board of Trustees of the Fergus County High School at Lewistown, or the principal of the institution. The author requests the forbearance of the reader of this bulletin, as it was prepared under the stress of'many other duties, and was seriously hampered by the incendiary fire that destroyed photographs, halftone engravings and much data that had been gathered for use in the bulletin. If any reader can furnish further information about the early history, geography and mineral resources of the county, they are urged to communicate such information to the author or other instructors connected with the High School, as it is hoped to make the institution a clearing house of accurate information about the county.
