CONFEDERATE GUGH HAD THE RICHEST PLACER MINES ON EARTH
DIAMOND CITY, ONCE RIVAL OF HELENA is NOW BUT MEMORY

Some 35 miles northeast of Hell
ena is an abandoned, worked out pla-
Ger gulch, in which four or five ruin
ed log cabins stand, victims of the
slow decay of time. Years ago they
surrendered to the fierce assaults of
winter blasts, and with sagging ridge
poles and crumbling walls, they rep
resent in sorry fashion the only
monument that remains of what was
once one of the most flourishing and
hopeful of Montana's boom gold
camps. -
The list of Montana postoffices to-
day does not contain the name of
Diamond City, but that was the
proud appelation of the hustling,
prosperous mining center that half a
century ago was as well known as
Helena, Virginia City or Bannack,
and was considered a much better
camp than Butte. Neither would a
list of Montana mining districts in
1920 contain the name of Confeder-
ate Gulch, yet for the area mined
that almost forgotten gulch was the
richest gold-producing district ever
found in the Treasure state.
No Montana mining city ever rose
to prominence with a greater rush
than did Diamond City or sank into
oblivion so quickly. One day in the
COS a heavily laden freight outfit
pulled away from its streets with two
and one-quarter tons of gold dust,
valued at 100000, the cleanup of

four men on a rich bar. And yet
decade later the course of the camp
had been run, and what had been the
mining capital of eastern Montana
and the county seat of Meagher coun-
ty was settling down to slow but sure
decay. Forty years ago, in 1880, it's
former population of several thous
ands had dwindled to "a men, women
and children, and in 1883 Judge Cor
nelius Hedges, who visited the old
place that summer, wrote: Diamond

days of its pride, wealth and activity

With the miners courts and citi-
zens' criminal courts began the judi
cia1 history of Montana. With the
organization of the territory and the
establishment of the capital at Ban
mack a territorial code of laws was
drawn up nd these laws were soon
in force at Diamond City, which
shortly after became the county seat

Huge Gold Dust Shipment
J. X. Beidler, noted pioneer peace
officer, gives the following interest
ing account of big shipment of gold
dust from Diamond City:
'In the fall of 1866 two tons and
a quarter of gold dust was shipped
out of Diamond City for Helena, val
ued at about 100000. At Helena
it was placed in Hershfield's bank 1

weeks previous to this shipment, and
