One of Montana's pioneers who was in
the midst of the first gold excitement in
the state in the early sixties is James
Cough. who is now visiting Spokane. The
first discovery of gold was made Oh Gold
creek, about 60 miles northwest of Butte,
in 1867. Mr.. Cough reached Gold creek
in 1865. but by that time many other dis
coNerles had been made and the country
was in a ferment of excitement. He
Joined in the rush to the new discoveries
and for II years he was one of the gold
seekers. Then he bought grazing lands
on Gold creek, a few miles from the
scene of the first excitement, and has
raised stock there eve since.
Mr.. Cough has just returned from
Rossland, where he Went to visit rala-
tives, and he is now on his way home.
AS to the condition of stock he says that
the season so far has been wholly favor
able, though the range are now pretty
we'll exhausted. Unless the coming VIM
ter proves as hard a one as the last
prospects of an exceptionally favorable
year are excellent. Last WINTER saws

The next question treated of was
whether the listing Of property to others
than the real owners would invalidate
the assessments. This question, after a
review of the statutes bearing upon it,
is held to be completely answered by the
statutes in force at the time the re-
spective assessments were made, which
provided. in effect. that when real prop
erty is assessed to the wrong person or
other mistake relating to the ownership
of the property has been made in the as
sessment, the assessment is not to be
held void on that account.
