OLDEST MONT. PIONEER
RESIDENT THIS COUNTY

NJ. G. Gilmore, postoffice address
at olive, this county, is touted a. the
oldest living pioneer Of Montana. He
Is So years old now and Of this time
has resided in Montana for so years.
He came to this part of the state in
1876 but had resided elsewhere in
the state since 1859. He is q native
OF Portland, Ore, and instead of fol-
lowing the advice of Greeley to go
westward and seek his fortune. by
force of circumstances, he turned
eastward instead. He spent his boy
hood days with the Indians and was
thus able to speak their language
quite fluently. He served many years
as scout and Interpreter with Gen
erals Reno and Custer and was with
Reno's command at the time of Gus
ter's MASSAGE on the Little Big
Horn.
Mr.. Gilmore is OF French extrac-
tion while he married a German wO-
man. He boasts speaking nine Ian
guages. English, French, German,
Crow, Cheyenne and three languages
of the Sioux Indian tribe.
II would have volunteered as an in
terpreter in the world war;" he said
on the occasion Of his recent visit to
Broadus, but my age was against
me-" And there was real regret ex-
pressed in the voice OF this old war
rior OF frontier days that he could
not serve his country further.

believes that II the money is avail
able. much restocking will be done
next spring in Powder River and
Carter counties.
Ours is grass country" says
Mr.. Einsel. 1--WE raise some wheat,
but do not depend on that. Lack OF
transportation facilities make grain
growing an unsatisfactory business
for us.
1--WE had only one bad year, 1919.
when in the fall our cattle and sheep
holdings were reduced because of the
feed shortage. This year we have
plenty Of feed--enough for two
years. There has been plenty of
grass on the ranges of Powder River
and Carter counties this year.
Mr.. Einsel reports that his part of
the state has now more sheep in pro-
portion to normal than cattle. The
two counties have more sheep than
any other locality in Montana, except
the Beayerhead country.
THE people of our region are not
disheartened," Mr.. Einsel says. They
are determined to go ahead with the
development of the country and feel
that few years will reward them. =

Proven OIL Field
Thompson Greek

From an authentic source it is
learned that the Thompson creek vel
about sixty miles southeast Of Broad
us, penetrated an oil sand at 600
feet and is flowing at the rate Of two
barrels day. The casing measures
only five inches in diameter at the
top. 1t is believed that the company
will drill further, feeling. assured
that a deeper well will bring better
results.
Later reports indicate that the
five-inch hole will be reamed out and
drilling continued on to greater
depth where it is the belief oil sands
will be penetrated that will yield at
least so barrels Of oil q day.

Tells ABOUT OUR
GREAT COAL FIELDS

John L. Scolield OF Biddle. recent
II elected to the state legislature
from Powder River county. was N
Miles City recently to attend to busi-
ness matters and incidentally to
make Preparations for legislative du-
ties in Helena.
Regarding his visit the Miles City
Daily Star says:
He confirmed the report received
here yesterday that the Homestake
Mining company Of Lead, s. D., had
fled on government land for mineral
rights. with the intention Of opening
up and exploiting the coal lands in
Powder River county. Examination
of the outcroppings indicate that
there is a 30-f0t vein of coal in that
locality, he declares. Plans are be-
ing made for the construction of a
railroad to the coal field, which is
located northwest of Broadus.
Crews are now busy in making
land assessments. Provided weather
conditions are favorable to the build
ing of the railroad line, actual haul
ing of coal from the field will be an
early possibility. According to Mr..
Scofield, there is some speculation as
to the route of the proposed line.
Residents of the country are viewing
the expected developments of the
mineral fields with much enthusiasm,
he states.
Ranges i'll Powder River county
are in excellent shape for the winter,
Mr.. Scofleld reports. Grass is plenti-
ful, in fact, there is more than
enough forage for the small number
of stock on the ranges"
