BE1RTOH wv IND FICINTTY,
It's quarts ard Prospects in The
Future.
A Section That VIII Come into
EARLY Prominence.
BY HON. ISRAEL GLEN,

~ HUN. hAE GLEN.
In giving a few ofthe prominent features of
this part of Deer Ledge county, l am we'll
aware that the present outlook is but a poor
Indication of what it once was as a placer
mining camp. There are people in all parts
of the civilized world that can bear witness of
the great wealth of the placers of Elk Greek,
Bear and Deep Clutches, and their numerous
tributaries, extending a distance of about -
miles east and west, and nearly the same
distance north and south. Nearly every
tributary putting down from the mountains
into those streams were worked, and many of
them proved to be very rich. 1t is in the
knowledge of these facts that the quartz
prospectors here are so sanguine of develop
ing rich mines, and the prospects already
found place it almost beyond a doubt that
the future will show that as a quartz mining
section it will be as bright and prosperous as
any in Montana. Probably one hundred
quartz locations have been made. 1t is a
hard place in which to prospect for the reason
that there is so much slide or surface rock
covering the mountains. Only a few lodes
crop out in the whole district at any point.
As yet developments have been carried on TO
a very limited extent. The greatest depth
yet attained on any vein is about Is feet.
This depth has been reached on the Robert
Emmett claim, a north and south vein
dipping east. This vein has a good showing
on the Emmett, Iowain and San Jose loca-
tions, and Is likely to prove good throughout
those claims. The formation is porphyry,
The richest prospects obtained in the Home
stake and Old Colunbo locations were at the
water-level, in which Developments were
suspended for the time, from a lack of means
to work deeper. There are formations Of
granite on the north and sandstone ON the
South OF those veins running east and west,
The prospects from these claims probably
excel in richness anything yet found in the
Territory. A doubt can hardly be enter
tanned by any one having any KNOWLEDGE of
the prospects obtained here, that there will
be opened in the near future a good quartz
camp. The ore is principally free gold.
A lack OF wagon-roads has been a great draw
back to the advancement of this part Of the
county. Roads are now built which will
remedy this evil but those only who know
now slow the building of roads is, where the
business OF the community has been done on
pack animals and over pack trails DURING the
years OF prosperity, can comprehend the
dltlcultles met in the new departure.
Our great need now is system in develon.
ing backed by capital Sufficient to pu, IN the
necessary machinery to prosecute the work
below water-level. There is now on foo, .
pr''ece 10 organize a company to thoroughly
prospect some of the most favorable locations.
II II carries we hope to be able by the next
Monday MINER to send greeting to our sis.
'er camps good news of restored prosperity. !

Mr.. A. Bronson Alcott says that his daugh
ter Louisa was a bright child and got mos
of her education at home. She kept diaries
and filled them with short stories. With bel
three sisters she established a theatre in tb.
garrett, and wrote "no ad~mittancen over the
door. Soon the ~neighbsrs heard of their the
atrical performances, and wishing to see tha
little actors had recourse to the barn. which
they fitted up with a platform and scenery
Love was the rule i IN the Alcott family, and
the office of servant was unknown. In order
to learn what it is to be a servant. she enter
ed the household of a former senator and
was put to all kinds OF drudgery. A yoals
theological student boarded in the family.
shortly after her time as a servant expired he
asked her to black his boots. Her reply was
that while studying divinity he should have
learned humanity. Her literary career was
begun with writing stories for magazines and
papers.

may occur to some who read these ID
that good, well-furnished school-hod
do not necessarily prove that the schd
are good. Let it be granted. Still, Il
would greatly favor the presumpd
that where SO much had been done
provide a place for good schools,
other necessary adjuncts, of which
teacher is chief, had not been neglect
In other words, as one twig indicates
character of the whole tree, so does
school-house measurably represent
educational status. The achieveme
of education in Montana belong to
public schools, and in this cursory VI
no others are included.
During the year 1879 Montana d
purted 1872 public schools at an aggrea
cost of S54,051.9 3. The average att
dance for the same year was 1904 pup
from which it appears that the totald
per capita was $19.27 on average att
dance. These figures indicate that M
tana is bestowing about thesame exped
upon each pupil attending the pull
schools as is Massachusetts, which ran
among the first States in the Union
liberal expenditures in support of pub
education. Perhaps it would be corr
infer from these premises that
public schools are as good as those
Massachusetts, but it can be safely 4
that theyare as good as the avers
in the Middle and Atlantic States. d
teachers, for the most part, like d
citizens, are representatives of 1
and enterprising classes, vi
have been fitted for their responsib
duties by the school training which d
foremost States provide.
Whilethus reviewing with pride i
field in Montana, let us d
that greater responsibilities thu
before are now demanding d
e%ndcavors in the great cause
