OLD UNION MINES STRANGE CAREER

and Those Who Worked in It Never Really Knew
Why They Were Told to Quit.

with the surface workings Of the
Union, secured permission to extract
ore from pillars" and abandoned spots
in the NINE This they termed "trb-
uting,' an arrangement whereby the
miner agreed to pay IS a ton for the
ore and SIS for the treatment of it in
the company's MILL In some instances
comfortable sums We're made in a sea-
sons work. This plan suggested the
idea of probably the first enterprise of
digging float in Montana
From the groupings of the lead the
ground slopes down gradually in a
smooth, gentle, grassy sweep until it
meets a broad area which is rudely
lifted up by the frowning, timbered
panse of granite bedrock was COW
cred with a deposit of soil ranging
in depth from Is inches near the
lead cropppings to four and six feet
down on the fiat. This deposit con-
tanned small and large pieces of
float" or particles of the lead crop
pings that had in the process of disin-
tegration lodged here and there in the
wash" of the hillside in the infancy
of Time.
This float contained much gold; it
carried about $50 or $50 to the ton, and
an ambitious coyote" could scrape to-
gether all the way from 100 to 500
pounds a day, more often. however.
100 pounds. Eight or ten tons of this
rock amounted to fair summers
work. Two years after the mines closed
down this plot of ground resembled a
potato patch after the fall harvest. 1t
was a good thing as long as it lasted
but it was not elastic.
Unionville enjoyed a run of coyote"
prosperity of three or four years dura-
ton; then it took on the air of a dead
town. Its resources were composed of
wood and milk. There was dairy
which did business with consumers in
Helena, and the cordwood also went to
Helena. This traffic suggested to the
wise commissioners of Lewis and
Clarke county the idea of improving
the road from Helena to the timber
above Unionvlla, and now this is the
finest section of mountain road in Mon
tana. But in the days of gold and pros
perity a very crude and uncertain road
way served the purposes.
About 10 years ago a small company
of Helena capitalists dreamed that
they saw gold in the old tickle McIn-
tire extension of the Union, and they
started out to realize on their dream.
They erected d patent Lilliputian
stamp mill on the edge of the town
and drove an incline into the ground
and sank too much money. There are
rich spots in the McIntre, but they
occur at distressingly infrequent inter
walls, and so the mill closed up like
clam and the hole in the McIntire took
its place among the others that have
long since been turned over to the
gophers.
This was the concluding paragraph
IN the long story Of hope ana eXpscta-
ton that had for years been whispered
into the ears of the faithful, and Union
Vile began to show signs of renewed
desertion. The old grocery store was
nailed up, the blacksmith left town,
