The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-02-23

AS John Barleycorn watches the
sands in his life glass flow away,
and the woman of the most ancient
profession takes her departure to
places where she will be received
more kindly, and with the handle of
the gun of the reformer becoming
ragged with the notches of his num-
erous triumphs, it is interesting to
recall the first reform that was eff
fected in what is now Montana. 1t
was the revolt of the placer miners
of Alder gulch against the long fling
er nails of the bartenders who served
them. 1t succeeded and in succeed
ing saved the hardy miners many
thousands of dollars.
1t occurred in Virginia City, in the
days when placer mining and band
TRY were the two principal industries
of the territory. Placer gold was the
circulating medium. When a conviv-
ial miner bought round of drinks
in saloon he put his poke of gold
dust on the bar. The bartender
would take a pinch of dust from the
"poke," throw it into the gold scales,
and add to it or take from it as the
exigencies of the purchase demanded.
The Frugal Bartender
The frugal bartenders of those
days grew long finger nails. Their
brokerage was the dust that remain
ed under the nail, after the deal had
been consummated. In places where
a thriving business was driven dex-
FERROUS bartender could make as
much as $50 in a single day.
This was all right as long as gold
dust was plentiful, and while the eX-
citement was high. Pretty soon 1t
became apparent that the bartenders
had more money than anyone else in
the camp. Investigators, after care
full study, also determined that the
bartenders who had the longest fling
er nails wore the best clothes and
seems to be possessed of more money
than their fellow mixologists.
| Word went forth among the miners
that the long finger nail was taboo
The miners decided to boycott those
saloons where the long finger nail
was in evidence. The boycott became
so effective that owners of saloons

INVESTED 500;
CLEARED $4,000
BEAVERHEAD LOCK MASTER
WHO MAKE QUICK FORTUNE
BY WISE PURCHASE.
Anderson Brothers Bought Lauter-
bach Sheep Holdings for $S5, 900
on Credit; After Three Years One
Partner Sells Out for Handsome
Profit.

These are the days of Montana
financial romances. Wool at 35 and
40 cents, copper commanding its
highest price, and wheat quoted at
fortune making prices are making
stories that will be told to the grand
children of the men of this genera
ton.
From Beaverhead county comes a
narrative that is astounding. A far
mer, who had credit, and all good
farmers in Beaverhead county have
credit, has just sold his equity in a
sheep investment for $4,000. The
actual money that he put into the in
vestment was 500.
Had Good Credit
Three years ago the Anderson
brothers, three of them, decided to
become flockmasters. They had
farmed successfully near Dillon for
number of years. Their farm hold
lngs were clear and their credit was
good. They had their eyes on the
Lauterbach sheep ranch and flocks,
The owner wished to retire. He
asked $4,000 in cash for his hold
lHSS and Sneep.
The Andersons went to Dillon and
talked the proposition over with a
we'll known banker of the Beaver
head metropolis. He is an old fash
Toned banker, of the school that domi-
mated Montana twenty years ago, and
loaned money on integrity. The
banker knew his men. He also knew
all about the Lauterbach sheep ranch
and the flocks it supported. He
agreed to loan them the money.
Profit of $4,000
They closed the deal. A few weeks
ago one of the Andersons sold out
his interest in the investment for
$4,000. The cost of making the
transfer, including the papers, re-
cording, and legal services, was $500,
of which his share was 500.
