Back in the latter 7e's vestal was
a popular man in Helena, when that
city was feeling blue and depressed
over the exodus of its mining men to
the Black hills. Because Vestal
stuck and developed the Penobscot,
he encouraged many others to work
properties in the Marysville and 9TH
er districts near Helena. 1t was al
so VestaPs money that opened the

His open heartedness soon disspated
his fortune gained in the Penobscot,
but he went cheerfully to work to
gain another stake, being one of the
first miners to get into Alaska. He
returned from Alaska with some
money and spent several years at
Forest Hill, Calf, on a property that
he had remembered from early days.
Later, his health failing, he made his
home at Oakland. He is survived
by his widow and two daughters.

many times more wealth still in it
than ever has been taken out, and

Anderson, of Helena, who has made
a thorough investigation and examin-

1.-THE Penobscot is one of those

of such pay ore as was in sight and
easily removed. The ore bodies in
this, as in most mines, are in shoots,
and the practice has been to mine out
such shoots until they pinch on the

OWNED RICHEST NINE N
MONTANA, PEN0BSCOT
DEATH OF PIONEER RECALLS
THE FAMOUS MINE NEAR
MARYSvlLLE.

Last week there died at Oakland
man whose name was known the
length and breadth of the western
states as the man who owned the
richest gold mine in the world. The
was the famous old Penobscot at
Marysville, which produced from 35
feet of one of it's shafts the largest
bar of gold and silver bullion ever
taken from single NINE This bar,
cast from the gold produced by few
weeks run, was 20 inches long, sew
en- inches wide and three and three
quarters inches thick. 1t weighed
more than ZAP pounds and it's value
was s54,262.62.
The Helena Herald, commenting on
the production of the mine at the time
said: mo other gold mine that this
OF any other country has ever known,
has ever produced in an equal period
with similar working facilities, SO
large an amount of bullion" Com
menting on the Penobscot in 1878, the
Alta California said the largest bar
from one mine prior to this was $780,
S32 from Spring Valley claim in Butte
county, California. in 1877.
Staked Thomas Cruise.
Nate Vestal was a shrewd mining
man, who knew ores and formations
better than most men. 1t was he
who gave Thomas Cruise the money
to operate the famous Drum Lummon
mine at Marysville, from which Cruise
afterward made millions. Cruise drove
an extremely sharp bargain with YES
tai, however, and as was usually the
case in similar cases, the prospector
and discoverer of the mine made the
money, while the hacker who put up
the cash to open up the property
merely received a moderate return on
the money he invested.
Vestal was not the discoverer of
the Penobscot, as is usually claimed,
but bought the property from the or
iginal locators. who took up the claims

Black Diamonds.

The government is keeping a record
of all black diamonds and they are not
to be sold or exchanged from one own
ership to the other without filing the
transfer with the government. This is
to know where the diamonds are and
prevent any possible way of these
carbons getting exported to Germany
These precious stones are not only
valuable for exploration purposes but
are used in shops for turning work
on lathes in the manufacture of war
equipment.

to driving deeper to where pay would
come in again.
This practice has not been confin-
ed to the Penobscot property. 1t is
the usual thing in Montana. AS a
result, there is not developed gold
mine in the state We have develop
ed copper properties Gin Butte, where
1t is considered a sensible thing to
have ore in reserve). but we never
have developed single gold NINE"
With present day advantages OF
mining, Mr.. Anderson believes that
the old Penobscot could be made in
to a bigger producer than ever by the
expenditure Of reasonable sum on
development work.

SALUTING THE WOUNDED.

Wounded marines, returned from
France, are being honored by their
comrades with the military salute,
regardless of whether they are en-
titled to it by the military regula-
tions. The custom is said to have
originated in Washington, and has
received the approval of Major Gen
eral Barnett, commandant OF the
corps.
The wounded man is under no
obligation TO return the salute form
ally. A smile or nod is sufficient.
1t is 4 fine, natural tribute, de-
served by the wounded marines il
by anybody. But why restrict it
to that branch OF the service? 1t
seems no more than fitting that
any American fighter, officer OF
private, returning home with honor
able wounds. should be saluted by
comrades who have not faced the
stern realities of war. And for
that matter, why should not civili-
ans pay him the same honor:

NATIONAL ANTI-LOAFlNG
LAW

These are indeed troublous times
for the loafer. Public opinion, new
er any too tolerant OF idleness in
this country, has unanimously
turned against him. Several states
have enacted drastic compulsory
work laws. Now the National Con-
ference OF Commissioners on Uni
form State Laws is trying to extend
such legislation to the rest OF the
states, leaving no place in this coun-
try for the man OF leisure of any de-
gree or station, to lay his head.
Every man up to fifty years,
physically and mentally capable OF
earning a living, is to be obliged to
prove himself habitually engaged in
some lawful trade, businessor uro-
fession. Violation of the law will
be a punishable misdemeanor. In
ability to obtain job will not be
accepted as an excuse; public EN-
ployment bureaus will take care OF
that. Neither will the possession OF
property or income, or support by
some other persons, be 4 legitimate
defense. With necessary excep-
tions, every man from q to 50 will
have 10 do some useful work.
A few years ago We should have
regarded such proposal as alarm
ingly radical and socialistic. Now
nobody is shocked. 1t would not be
surprising if congress itself under
took to do something OF the sort,
before long.

POLITICS..

The congressional primaries held
lately have been illuminating to a
good many congressman, and posi-
bly, to few voters. 1t has come
to professional politicians, with Ger
tain amount OF surprise, that poll
tics has mighty little to do with the
campaigns this falli What people
are interested in is the war, and any
candidates appeal made on any
other issue falls flat.
Congressman deSirouS OF election
are being judged almost solely by
their record on war legislation. The
result is notable elimination OF
the incompetent and disloyal. Men
who voted against preparedness,
against our declaration OF war,
against the selective service, against
Liberty Loan issues and other es-
sential war measures, find all eX-
plantations useless. They are turned
down cold for denomination. II an
occasional misiit does happen to
get through by the skin OF his teeth,
he is pretty sure to lose out in the
election.
Thus we may expect to have the
next house OF representatives ap-
proximately 100 per cent loyal, with
its members willing to follow sane
war leadership where they lack
clear understanding themselves.
There will be improvement in the
senate, too. And though the new
congress will not assume its duties
for year or so, the nations verdict
may be expected to have immediate
effect in silencing the distractions
and accelerating the war.

Some name more distinctively

That drives us back to the begin
