Birch Creek ranch deal seals major Beaverhead holdings
In Butte yesterday Char Lea Smith announced a landmark real estate purchase in Beaverhead County. J. & Morse arranged about 2100 acres along Birch Creek between Birch Creek and Bond's siding, with $50,000 cited as the deal price. Water rights, long disputed, are settled with Morse holding undisputed access. The purchase is expected to spur county development and a cooperative farmer colony on Montana's best alfalfa and grain lands.
