history of Butte is subsequent to this
period, really the history of Silver Bow
County, as a mining center, and the sub
ject will be treated at length in the chap
ter on Butte.
During the session of the Legislature
Of 1881, an act was passed Which took ef-
feet almost Immediately, and provided
for detaching from Deer Lodge County
its northern townships, and organizing
them under the name of Silver Bow
County. During the same year and soon
after the passage of the act, an election
was held, and the officers elected being
duly qualified, the county entered upon
its existence, and has since been more
than duly prosperous.
The Butte daily miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1885-18??, 1886-01-01

The history Of the settlement is thus
described by Captain Mills in Ctorer
Leave written in 1869. "Never prettier
name was coined and it came of this
On the evening of Il cloudy day in
January, 1854; Bud Barker, P. Allison,
Joe and Jim Ester on prospecting trip
reached the vicinity of the creek near
Butte, and discussion arose as to its
name. AS the argument went on, the
clouds rolled from the sun, it's bright
glance fell on the waters sweeping in
graceful curves around the base of the
mountains furnishing them to brilliancy
as they claspcd the vale in "bow like
silver" and 50 they named the farthest
southeast waters that flow through
Columbia to the sea. To them it was a
land Of beauty, Of promise and Of profit.
G. @. Humphreys, Dennis Leary, and
Alexander Scott followed in May. They
were the discoveries Of the camp, where
every pan prospects, and every sluice
pays; a camp nearly twelve miles square,
almost every gulcll, bar, sag and hill
yielding pay; with fifty-three miles of
public bitches; where the best ground
is on the hills and good pay on their very
SUBMITS. The twelve miles embraces
the little towns of Silver Bow, Rocker,
Butte and McMinnville. Silver Bow
town is a village of sixty or seventy
houses and three times as many people.

disc; Norton & Dean and Warren &

traveller. We should Judge the pre-
vailing style of architecture to be Pan
Doric-a heathenish one of many evils.
The material used is wood, but the
presence there of Colonel E. Lane, who
is a first class mason, induces the belief
that nobler works will be raised, and
speaking of buildings in Butte and Silver
Bow, seven miles apart, year about,
houses are torn down in one and removed
to the other. Last year houses were

Yield

.'There are hundreds of claims above
the level Of the present ditches-far
above. These will quadruple the yield
on the completion Of the Humphrey
ditch now being built by the Humphrey
Brothers. This is one of the gigantic
works of the day. There is nothing like
it in America. And it will be built; in
domitable energy and pluck are in the
hearts of the builders. Butte, on the
Pacific slope, needs water. Boulder
Basin, on the Atlantic slope, has it. To
carry it from one to the other, ditch
thirty miles long, with tunnel twenty
four hundred feet long, through the main
diride Of the Rocky Mountains "a under
taken and is almost completed. 1t will
carry 1900 inches of water, high on the
Silver Bow region and give employment
to 5000 men. The Humphrey Brothers
deserve credit, more than that-for-
tunes"
Results proved that Captain Mills was
over-sanguine, at least for the time being,
for the mining interest of the district
may be said to have collapsed in 1870.
The population of the Summit dis
trict grew less and less until the ex-
element Of 1874, in which year w. Z.
Farlin placed his notice Of relocation on
the black lodges near the butte. The

SILVER BOW COUNTY.
A History Of It's Settlement and Develop
ment.

Silver Bow County which includes the
cities of Butte, Walkcrville, Centerville,
NIeadervillc, Burlington and Woodville,
was formerly portion Of the present
county Of Deer Lodge. The separation
was effected in 1881, and Butte City
made the county seat. In 1880, the pop
ulation was about 5000, and it is now
estimated at 5000. The area is about
500 square miles, and while mining is
the great industry, there are consider
able agricultural lands, all Ut which are
occupied and productive. In the annals
Of mining camps the history and progress
Of the county stands without Il parallel.
Although the smallest county in the
Territory it has developed SO rapidly,
that within five Years, it has arisen from
comparative nothingness to the richest,
the assessment roll for the past year
being nearly SS,Mn,oO0, as will be seen
by the following classified statement OF
the returns of the county assessor.

County Ohicers.

The officers Of the county who were
elected at the last election held i'll 1884,
were: Commissioners, J. r. Clark, w.
NJ. Jack and H. c. kessler; Sheriff, ED.
Sullivan; Assessor, II. Waisman; Treas
urcr, d. J. WEIGH; Clerk and Recorder,
II. S. Clark; Probate Judge, c. +. IT.
vine; Superintendent of Schools, I. J.
Booher; Public Administrator, Henry
Jacobs; Coroner, G. S. Whitford, NJ. d.;
Surveyor, J. II. Harper; Delegates to the
House Of Delegates, w. o. Speer, ]. d.
Baldwin and John F. Forbis. Since the
election, Commissioners Clark and Kess-
Ter have resigned, the former on account
Of business engagements, and the latter
to accept the position Of County Treas
urer, made vacant by the resignation of
y. J. WEIGH, who was appointed Collec-
tor Of Internal Revenue for this Revenue
District.
The political status of the county, as
shown by the election Of 1884, the vote
for Delegate to Congress being the basis,
shows that the Republican candidate,
Hiram Knowles, received 1902 votes,
and the Democratic candidate, J. X.
Toole, 2,4S2. As, however, the county
offices were divided between the par
ties, and Mr.. Knowles was resident of
the county, they can hardly be relied
upon in making figures for future use.
The Butte daily miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1885-18??, 1886-01-01
Assessed Valuation.

As showing the rapid increase in the
value Of real estate, the following figures
are given: The assessment for 1881 was
$4,lO6,767 for 1882, 1910, $50; for 1888,
@,015, lO1; for 1884, $6,644,7s3, and for
1855 the footings have not, at this writ
ing, been completed, but they will surely
exceed $S,OO0,OM. In connection with
the large increase during the present
year, mention should be made of the
fact that the greater portion of it has
been in the erection of business and
dwelling houses, and the rapid increase
in the value Of real estate. It can fur
ther be said that the assessments must
have been honest and moderate, for
when the County Commissioners sat as
Board Of Equalization, out Of the long
list of property-owners there were only
five or six who requested reductions. As
much will be said about the mining
properties in other columns. At this
point it is mentioned that the improve
ments on the mines and their rich out
put only are assessed, and not the value
of the property.
The taxes, territorial, county and
special school, only amount to 1870
mills, and as the assessment is a moder-
ate one, they are paid cheerfully and the
delinquent list cuts but small figure in
county finances.
The Butte daily miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1885-18??, 1886-01-01

hauled from Silver Bow to Butte, this
year the movement is reversed. But
Butte has lost by the operation
number Of buildings, including the store
now occupied by ]. b. Wilcox & Co.,
and which was the first courthouse
building in Deer Lodge County-having
been transported on to Deer Lodge City,
fortv-two miles. This was to save timber,
we suppose, as there is not more than
million or two acres of good timber land
in this immediate vicinity
"Silver Bow is in the Summit Valley
District, the most northerly Of the
several mining districts constituting,
what is known as the Silver Bow Region.
To give an idea Of it's extent, richness
and yield at that early date, (1s69,) it
may be mentioned that the total cost of
bitches was Sl6,O00. Numberof gulclcs,
10. Number Of bars and hills, IS. Num-
her Of gulcl, claims, ISL. Bar and hill
claims, 22G. Total number of claims,
l,o07. With this showing Of extent and
richness in but one of the several dis
tricts, in the easiest worked ground in
the country, scarce more thanprospccte'l
save in the main g,,lcll, with the pro-
duet of only Il few claims in the first
twenty gulches, on very limited amount
OF water, reaching nearly one-third of a
million in 1869, and nearly two millions
to date, is not the assertion sustained.
The camp is A No. l. Flow its bitches
full Of water for five months Of 1870,
and Silver Bow will yield more gold
than all Deer Lodge county in 1863"
Speaking Of placers in the fall Of 1869,
Captain Mills says: "strictly speaking,
there are but two or three gulches-
Silver Bow Creek 'NIissoul:,,' and
Town gllches. But, as at Silver Bow,
every gulch has names for tile contigu-
Gus bars, side galches, says and chan
nels, to distinguish them in the Dictrict
records. Butte claims centrality in the
vast Silver Bow mining region-ncarly
twelve miles square. Comparatively lit
tie Of the mining ground in the vicinity
has yet been worked, lying above
all the bitches yet in. The yield where
water is obtainable is large. Even in the
gulches covered by two or three bitches
only u few claims could be worked in
1869, owing to the scarcity of water, but
the product of these claims for 1870 will
give an idea Of the richness Of the
1 ground: "~...5

NORTH CAROLINIANs ABROAD

Copies of The SENTINEL are sent
this week to number of North Caro-
inians residing in other States, who
are cordially invited to drop us
line or two and say how they like
their present homes, the main reasons
why they left North Carolina, and
draw a comparison between this State
and that in which they now live
If they will accompany the above
with years subscription to The
SENTINEL their letters will be all the
more appreciated. You certainly de-
sire to keep posted as to events in the
Old North State and so small sum
as our subscription price ought not to
be much of stumbling block.
To all North Carolinians abroad,
who during the month of April send
us $3.50 for a years subscription to
THE SENTINEL we will forward with-
oa1t estrd charge, one Of ouf handsome
crayon Autograph portraits of Gov.
ALFRED M. SCALES, postage paid
carefully tubed, SO the picture can
not be injured in the mails.
( This picture is receiving the high
est endorsement of the press of the
State and every subscriber who has re-
ceived it, is delighted with it. It is
not for sale anywhere, and therefore
could not be purchased at any price.
1t is the only portrait yet issued of our
Governor and IS easily worth more
than our subscription price. We are
quite confident that all old Tarheels
will appreciate and prize this picture
of the Governor of their old State.
There may be some of our readers
abroad who are already subscribers to
The SENTINEL and who would like to
have one of these portraits. To these
we respectfully offer the suggestion
that if they each secure one cash SUBJ
scriber for year, we will take pleas
ure in sending them the picture. Now
there is not one of you but who can
persuade a friend to take the paper in
order to help you get the picture.
Try it.
