his minds eye the old camp as it had
been and to populate onc more the
deserted streets with picturesque
mountain men, miners, stage drivers,
gamblers and all the other types of
the western frontier hosts that have
passed on forever. Russell said Dia-
mond City was one of the most per-
feet types of the old mining camp
even in it's semi-decay-that he had
ever seen.
Struck in 1864
Confederate Gulch was discovered
in 1864, and during the fall of that
year and the spring of 1865 pros
pectors thronged there and the yicin-
ity was extensively mined by men
who had come up from the Idaho and
California placer fields. The rich
ness of the pay dirt in Confederate
Gulch was the sensation of the Mon
tana gold camps. AS high as $3.50 in
gold to a pan was obtained. Mon

ly to five other small camps in the
neighborhood. That night a score o.
miners gathered at Cavetown, and
before dawn took possession of a ca
bin near the claims of the two men
who had been threatened. There
they spent the day, playing cards and
not showing themselves outside the
cabin. At dusk a dozen of the claim
jumpers appeared, prepared to take
possession of the diggings, which,
they believed, had been abandoned in
accordance with their orders.
No sooner had the leader of the
claim jumpers set foot beside the
flume than a-shot cracked from the
cabin and the desperate fell dead.
The followers of the slain man at
once opened up a fusilade of shots
at the cabin and the shooting for a
few minutes was general. Then a
party of miners rushed forth from
the cabin and took a stand in the

May, 1866, by a man of the name of
White.
Bloody Cave Gulch Fight
Cave Gu1ch was famed for it's rich
mines and was famous also in the
SOS as the scene of a bloody vendet-
ia. A party of claim jumpers, which
had organized in Idaho and Nevada,
decided to come to Montana and OPP
crate, stealing claims from their
owners and hoping to hold them by
strength of numbers. They chose
Cave Gulch as the place to start OPP
erations because it was inaccessible
and had good gold prospects.
These claim jumpers were a SIMS
ter, desperate band of frontier des-
peradoes, as may be judged from
their plan of action. They establish
ed a camp near C~avetown, in the
Kingsbury mountain district, and
boldlysserved notice on two miners,
who were working or a good-looking
bar, to leave their diggings and make
themselves scarce by sunset of the
following day or take the
quences, which, they declared, would
be sudden death.
In alarm, these miners consulted
with their neighbors who were placer
mining, and word was sent out quiet

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 tn,
slow decay of time. Years ago the.
surrendered to the fierce assaults O
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 n 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 we'll 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
1926 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
CO.'S 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
one short seasons work of three or
four men on a rich bar. And yet a
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
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 1888 Judge Cor
nelius Hedges, who visited the old
place that summer, wrote: Diamond
City is desolate, deserted and dreary
to behold in the shreds of it's depart
ed glory, yet those who knew it in the
days of it's pride, wealth and activity
cannot fail to recall pleasant ~associa-
lions. It's very site will go down the
flume, which is already within the
borders of the town and cleaning a
rich harvest-probably the last.
There are only four families left of
all the many hundreds that have
dwelt there since the glorious days
of '66. If the goose that laid the
nestful of golden eggs can only be
found in the shape of a prolific mo-
Their vein of g~old-bearing quartz, the
days of Diamond City's departed
glory may return; otherwise it will
disappear utterly with another sea-
son."
But, unfortunately, the rich strike
of gold quartz was made, and
today old Diamond is only a memory
in the minds of grizzled old-timers,
who like to indulge in d~ay-dreams of
lusty young manhood, when
life lay before them and they came
% the enchanted mountains of Mon
ANA to do a mans work in a new
country. Back in the later sos
Charles M. Russell, the cowboy artist,
passed through Diamond City - then
deserted excepting for two or three
