STOCKMfN FAIL TO
AGREE ON BOUNDARY

The committee of sheepmen, con
sisting OF Murdo Finlayson, John
McLennan and Pat Rad igan, Of An.
telope and vicinity, which went to
the Blue Mountain region laslt week
to confer with cattle men from the
southern part Of the county regard
ing the esta bl ishment Of range lines
for the summer, has returned home,
having failed to make any satisfac-
tory arrangement.
The sheepman were met by CON-
mittee Of cattlemen and the matter of
fixing permanent range lands thor
ougly dicussed, but no conclusive
action taken, the sheepmen claiming
that the cattle owners demanded
more than the sheepmen could con-
cede. No other date was set for u
future meeting to adj just matters and
the herds of both cattle and sheep
will be ranged this summer in the
disputed territory.
Whether any trouble will arise
from the failure to make permanent
boundary lines, within which the
sheepmen and cattlemen would be
compelled to range their stock, Is a
question which the coming summer
will answer. Present indications
point toward disturbances which will
result In serious losses before fall has
come. The Antelope Herald, In
speaking Of the meeting, says:
at is not known what steps will
be taken by the sheepmen to protect
their right to a participation In the
range privilege In the Blue noun
tains, but II IL to be hoped that some
amicsble adjustment Of the matter
can be arranged. In Lake county,
where bitter range war Is In pro-
gress, 4 200 sheep have been killed
In the past few months, and such
condition of affairs is to be avoided,
II possible, In this county. The

had "a. sack. in which was a piece Of
bacon. When they wished to
get dinner they found the bacon had
slipped through hole In the sack
and was lost. He went back over
the trail they had been following to
find the missing meat. While watch.
ing for the missing bacon he observed
a boulder that had come down the
hill and lodged In the snow. He
broke II open and found IL spotted
with gold. Looking up the Rulch,
he saw place from which the snow
had disappeared and that looked like
a ledge. Examination disclosed the
fact that II was IA rich vein. That
was the beginning Of the Ada
Eimore. Mr.. Hodges was recorder
Of the district for some time. In
recent years he has lived In Helena

fruitfulness larger. but its age Is

As there has been a change in the
predominating spirit of the mining
camp, so will there come a change in

SOCIAL TEMPER
OF MINING CAMPS
Interesting Study: Aside
From Prosaic Industrial
Aspect.

The history of mining camps fror
the date of discovery to the time O
maturity is an entertaining stud y
without reference to the prosaic in
dustrial aspects of their growth. Th
sociological side Of their development
furnishes food for reflection ,frou
which certain generalizations can b
derived, not wholly without value (,
the hard headed, single. minded bust
ness man. The success or failure O
invetments in mines, or at least thei
highest fruitfulness, have too Otter
been bound up with the public TEN
per of the mining community not (,
compel attention to these social phe
nomena. though 1t Is not the NOR,
seroiums aspects of the matter, a
for example the restlessness o
labor, politics or possible otiicia
insolence, to which reference is her,
made.
Many new mining camp has be
come notorious at the outset for tn,
rough character Of it's population
taken at an average, and the reckles,
forms of entertainment In which l,
indulges. There Is nothing sur
prising about this, for at such ,
period the camp Is In its adventure
some stage and II encourages such ,
mental altitude on the part of III
citizena. Ultimately the camp viii
settle down to more serious under
standing Of its mission aud its re
lationship to the rest of the world
the community will crystalize ant
social order will steadily improve e
the level Of the standards prevailing
In older settlements. The develop.
ment of such camp from the adven.
turesome period to the period OF
soberness. 1t may be noted, IL
measured by the development of the
miens from the stage of uncertainty y
to that of certainty. The feelings OF
suspense, the sudden surprises, and
all the sensations that attend the dis
covery and early development Of a
rich mineral belt naturally contrib
ute to reckless manner of life.
After a time these conditions dis
appear and there Is change.
Another symptom OF the adventure
some spirit is found In the speculat.
i've excitement that usually spreads
beyond the borders of the camp into
the outside word. At such a time
practically all the property In the
camp is In its prospective stage, aud
speculation thrives upon uncertainty.
While the reckless home spirit is
at its height, the speculative spirit is
rampant without, and though the
two phenomena are not necessarily
concomitant, they are at least trace
able to similar causes. 1t Ia remark
able that when the camp Is producing
little, Investments move less conser-
vatively than when 1t ia producing
much. At the "height of boom"
everything in the way of "hyer"
is in order; when the 80 called boom
has subsided the springs of invest
ment freeze up.
Why Is this SO?
Strange but true, 1t is because the
uncertainty has disappeared. The
impression gets abroad that there are
no more new opportunities left. The
camp is no longer virgin.
And so the district enters upon
