THE LOVE FLOWER"
A WONDERFUL STORY

Everyone seems TO agree that next
to perfection in production, the chief
requisite for perfect motion picture
is real honest-to-goodnes story It's
that type of dramatic tale that Da-

photodrama on for United Artists re-
lease, and this wonderfully dramatic
production, "The Love Flower" will
be feature at the Bijou Theatre to-
day.
The story has to do with Stella Be

to find himself social alien in his

him and his unsympathetic wife is
widened by Bevan's affection, and his

Confederate Gulch was not so large
as Alder, Last Chance or Orc Elmo
gulches, but it was the richest in

that yielded gold. The best informed
miners of that day declared that, in

Diamond a Mining Center
Diamond City in the COS was not
only the trading center of Confeder-
ate Gulch, but also for some IA other
gulches in the vicinity that produced
gold. Pioneers of the state will re-
call a number of these gulches with
interest. Among these was New
York gulch, whose rich treasures
were discovered in 1866 and a town
site plated the following summer by
men who had high hopes of a city
s%pringing up there. Opposite, at the
mouth of Trout creek, the town of
Brooklyn was plated and the placer
mines there mined successfully I'M
til 1869. These camps in the midst
of the mountains with their high
sounding names, lived their little
hour and passed like mist before the
sun when the yellow dust was ex-
hausted. For three years the popu-
lation of the Trout creek gulches
was counted by thousands. Ten years

later the population of the district
numbered 40.
Whites Gulch three miles over
the mountain from Diamond City,
was another famous gold producer
that lasted longer than Confederate
or any of the other placer gulches
in the neighborhood, being mined
as late as 1885. 1t was discovered
in May, 1865, by one White, who
gave it its name.
Diamond a Boom Town
Fol- three years, when Diamond
City was at its best between 1866 and
1868, it was in every sense n of the
best boom camps of the west. Stores,
saloons, gambling houses, hurdy-
gurdy houses and hundreds of log
cabins grew like mushrooms up and
down the gulch. AS adventurers
from the east and west poured in,
the gold belt widened constantly by
new discoveries. Roads were hewn
to camps in every direction, and soon
rumbling stages began to arrive daily
from Last Chance Gulch, where the
of Helena was growing from
lusty infancy to a mountain metro
polls. Along the trails walked and
rode weatherbeaten, booted men with
wiry bodies and strong faces, some
pack horses and many carrying
their blankets on their backs as they
along. Soon OK and mule
trains began to drag into the gulch,
hauling stores of goods for trade with
the miners, and stores, saloons, hur-
1y-gurdy houses. gambling houses
and hundreds of log cabins sprang

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH is FOUND
ACROSS MONTANA'S BOUNDARY

The difference between Ponce de
Leon and e. D. Lorimer of Philadel-
phia is that Lorimer claims he has
discovered the fountain of youth. In
Billings on a visit, he said recently
it consisted of radium deposits near
Lusk, Wya.
Plants at Denver, Chicago and Phi
ladelphia, said Lorimer, are now re-
ducing about five tons of the urana-
phrane ore daily, extracting so MILL
grams Of radium worth $3.50 per
milligram, with a by-product of ra-
dio-active water claimed to cure
rheumatism, turn gray hair black,
and perform such other r~ejuvenating
miracles as the relief Of arterio
s~clerosis and excessive blood press
ure.
Nearly 200 physicians are now u.s.
ing the radium and the water, Lori
mer said, and four -sanatariums are
being equipped for baths. Lorimer
was connected with the first radium
producing concern after the discov-
cry of the mineral by the Curries.
He became interested in the Lusk
deposit two years ago.

up like mushrooms up and down the
gulch.
For a few brief years it flourished,
and then its decline was as rapid as
its growth. A decade after gold was
first struck, what had been the min
ing capital of eastern Montana and
the county seat of Meagher county,
was settling down to a slow but GER
tain decay. Forty years ago, in
1880, it's former population of sew
eral thousands had dwindled to about
60 people, and in 1883 Judge Cor
nelius Hedges, who visited the old
place that summer, wrote:
Diamond City is d~esolate, desert
ed and dreary to behold in the shreds
of it's departed glory, yet those who
knew it in the days of it's pride,
wealth and activity cannot fail to re-
call pleasant associations. Its 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 the many hun
dreds 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 mother vein of gold-bearing
quartz, the days of Diamond City's
departed glory may return; other
wise it will disappear utterly with
another season."
1t was this vein that Brandt
searched for in vain for a but
never found.

MINES OF LAST CHANCE
GULCH IN 1867.
Fought His Way Across the Plains
and Established One of First Ho-
tells in Helena; Was Pioneer Ho-
tel Man of Butte; Mined in Cali
fOrnia and Alaska.

Jonathan G. Baker, placer miner
of California, Montana and Alaska,
and pioneer hotel man of Helena and
Butte, died in Butte a few days ago
at the advanced age of 83. Few of
the states early settlers saw more
stirring events than did he. Born in
Mechinicsburg, Ohio, May 8, 1888,
Mr.. Baker was but 16 years of age
when he joined the stampede to the
California gold fields. There he re-
NAMED for several years engaged in
placer mining. In 1865 he made his
way to Helena and remained there
about two years, being fortunate
enough in his mining ventures to per-
nit him to return East.
He was married in 1857 in Mime
sofa to Miss Alice E. Hertzell. They
went to the eastern part of the coun-
try for their wedding trip and then
journeyed to St. Louis to join an
overland party that was fitting out
there for the Montana gold fields.
1t was one of those trips that
form part of the history of the great
west. More than once the caravan
was besieged by Indians, but well
prepared to resist attack, the sturdy
men and women fought their way for
ward steadily and reached Bannack
late in the year. Here they remain
ed only a short time, Mr.. Baker con-
Guiding to again locate in Helena. In
the capital city he established a ho-
tel and was doing well when the big
fire of 1869 destroyed his property
along with a large portion of the
struggling city. Mr.. Baker lost
everything, but like the courageous
pioneer that he was, proceeded to
build his fortune again.
January, 1880, found him in Butte.
He started a hotel and restaurant on
Main street known as the Virginia
chop house. Later he ran the St.
Nicholas hotel and also was man
ager of the Centennial, that stood
where the Hennessy building now is
located. This was burned out in 1888,
and then Mr.. Baker opened Bakers
restaurant on lower Main street,
which he operated until a few years
ago, when failing health compelled
him to retire.
During one of the gold rushes to
Alaska he made up an outfit and
went into the north country, where
he faced hardship again and again,
but without f%linching.
Mrs. Baker died about two years
ago and since that time he had made
his home with his only child, Mrs.
r. A. Kunkel.
