The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-05-12

an experienced plainsman, had little
difficulty in striking his brothers
trail through the mountains of New
Mexico, which he doggedly followed,
until one day he struck n of the
places where his brother and the
Mexican had camped, and in the
ashes of where a fire had been he
found all that was left of his bro
theirs remains, which he identified
by the filling in the teeth of the skull.
This was the greatest blow that
had ever come to Billy Vipond in all
his life, and yet he had expected to
make such discovery, for call it what
one may, he had a premonition of the
fate that had overtaken his brother.
He belonged to that type that feels
deeply, but which does not give way
to grief, or let others know what is
passing in the heart. He gathered up
the charred bones, and while doing
so made a vow that he would hunt
down Johns murderer if he had to
devote the remainder of his life to
the pursuit, but first he carried back
all of the little that was left Of his
brothers mortal body to the nearest
town, and then these few bones, en-
closed in a child's coffin, he took
back to the old eastern home and had
them buried in the family lot.
Hunts for Slayer
This duty performed, Billy return
ed to New Mexico and took up the
relentless chase to find his brothers.
murderer. He found where the Mexi-
can had sold the pack horses, then
where he had disposed of other be-
longings of John. Billy followed
every trail and many false one in his
search. He travelled New Mexico
from end to end, often going into al
most inaccessible mountains on some
clue, for this Mexican was always
on the move. 1t was many months
before he found his man, and then
under peculiar circumstances in
which chance seemed to play the
leading part.
He was in the town of Taos, New
Mexico, and walking along he noticed
a Mexican sitting on a sidewalk,
which was considerably higher than
the road. Billy ia those days care
fully looked over every Mexican he
came across, and he did not give this

Last week at his cabin in Bear
Gulch, near Twin Bridges, in Madi-
son county, BILLY" Vipond, pros
pector in Montana since the pioneer
gold mining days of 1864, passed
away. For years he was known the
length and breadth of Montana as
'Avenger" Vipond, because Of a
tragic chapter in his life that had to
do with the murder of his brother by
a Mexican and the stern chase by
Billy Vipond that brought the muir
derer to justice. Vipond vas one of
the discoveries of the Butte district,
and vas one of the last survivors of
the pioneer prospectors of SO years
ago in Montana. 1t was such men as
he who uncovered first the marvellous
mineral resources of this state, sell
dom profiting themselves, by their
discoveries.
Vipond left Omaha for Bannack
when II years of age, arriving in the
newly discovered Montana placer
camp in September, 1864. He mined
with varying success and later he and
his brother, John, in 1869, struck
what ever since has been known as
the Vipond district south of Butte.
There they mined for a time and
made some money but soon they were
off again securing the country from
the Canadian line to the Mexican bor-
der for new leads.
The two brothers were greatly at
tached to each other and they pros
pected together much of the time, al
though upon occasion they would
work separately. Some 20 years ago
or so John Vipond was in New Mex
leo at a time when William or BILLY"
as he was universally known, was in
Montana. They had always cores
ponded regularly when they were
separated, but the time came when
William failed to hear from John. In
some unaccountable way Billy, when
his brother failed to write, had a
foreboding that something serious
had happened and he fastened to
New Mexico to find out.
Brother Killed
Arriving in the town where he had
last heard from John, he found that
the latter, accompanied by a Mexican
and a pack outfit, had started out on
a prospecting tour. Billy, who was

and Mississippi rivers to Cairo, Ill.
up the Ohio and by canal to Lake
Erie, and through the Great lakes

Wilson, reporter on the Great Falls

Wilson, who expects to start be-
fore the end of this month, intends to
ship his boat by rail to Fort Benton
and there launch on the trip which
he estimates will cover between 1000
and 5000 miles and take several

Most of the silver being produced
in Montana is being shipped to the
United States mint at Denver for
coinage into silver dollars There are
now three minis working on coinage
of dollars under the Pittman act,
those at Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco having been ordered to conf1ne
their operations to this coin alone
for the time being.
Coinage, which was resumed late
in February with an initial daily oat-
put of $4,000, was increased in March
to as high as 100000 dollars, and
is at present up to $4,000 pieces a
day. AS there is virtually no demand
for other currency, the coinage facil1-
ties of the minis can be concentrated
for the time in stamping dollars; but
because of the size and bulk of the
dollar piece, operations are much
less than in the case of smaller sized
coins.
Coinage of silver dollars by the
Philadelphia mint to date approxi-
mates 100000. In February, when
the first dollar was coined since 1904,
the total coinage was only $4,000
pieces. This was increased in March
to 100000 pieces, and this figure
will be largely exceeded in the cur
rent month.
When the Treasury began buying
silver bullion at the fixed price OF
81 an ounce as prescribed by the
Pittman Act, most of the metal was

sent to the Philadelphia mint. OF
the 48,000,000 ounces of silver pur-
chased to date approximately 49,
100000 ounces were shipped to that
city. This will furnish a supply to
keep the mint busy for the balance
of the year. Silver purchased re-
Gently has been mostly shipped to the
Denver mint and the San Francisco
mint. If all three minis operate on
dollars, output will be considerably
increased. The number of dollars
melted under the Pittman Act was
placed by the Treasury department
at 27O,121,554.
Notwithstanding the coinage of
dollars the silver bullion holdings of
the Treasury are slowly increasing.
The total on April Is was $54,197,-
407, an increase of S6,709,990 over
March 1. The increase in April has
been very small however, the total on
April Is showing an increase of only
$914,655 over April 1. Production
of silver of course has been material
ly curtailed by the closing down of
the copper mines which produce the
white metal in large quantities as a
by-product. Output at many silver
mines has also been reduced by the
working out of the higher grade ore.
Drop in the domestic price of silver
from above $1.30 an ounce to the
government price of 81 an ounce has
made it Improbable to the mining
companies to handle some ore which
had been blocked out for milling.

i You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises Ct the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kiimer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
SO many people claim, that it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
