Mrs. Roy Smith told the beautiful
story of her life, "the story of a
helpless cripple, but a cripple who
rose above the infrmities of the body
with magnificent courage. creating
Tor herself a world of activities to
which heart and soul and mind were
given In unstinted service" An ap-

HANDSOME SHAFT 1W PLACE
TO MARK FIRST GOLD FIND

In the erection of beautiful
marble shaft to mark the spot where
gold was first discovered in Mon
tana another one of the most i'm
portant places connected with the de-
velopment of Montana has been fit
tingly designated as result of the
activities of the Society of Montana
Pioneers.
The shaft, which was dedicated at
the close of the editorial convention
at Missoula, many of the scribes
making the trip from Missoula to
Gold creek, was donated by Mrs
Mary e. Morony-Lalor in honor of
her father, Captain James H. Mills,
who was one of the early editors of
Montana. He was a personal friend
of the gold discoverers.
On N. p. Right-of-Way
1t is made of marble and rises 16
feet from it's concrete base block.
This base is five feet high and seven
feet square. The entire monument
weighs 80 tons. Beside it stands a
sign which may be read from the
trains of the Northern Pacific that
go flashing by. 1t bears the inscrip-
ton: "First gold discovery in Mon
tana made here" The monument is
place where the discovery took place.
The actual point of the gold dis
covery in 1858 is marked with a
granite tablet set in concrete in a
great boulder. The monument is To-
Gated one mile east of the village of
Gold Creek. 1t stands on the right
of way of the Northern Pacific and
officials of the company have agreed
to park and terrace the ground
