RETURNS TO MONTANA
AS BEST PLACE FOUND

J. L. Pickett who owns a fine ranch
up near Mount Antelope returned
here this week from Lakota, N. D.,
where he has spent the past few
months, and informs the Banner
that he is moving back to Montana
to stay, expecting to take up resi-
dence on his place early in the
spring. In the spring of 1917 Mr..
Pickett decided to quit Montana and
sold out all his personal property.
He has since spent considerable time
out on the west coast, particularly
in the states of Washington and Ida
no, sort of looking around to see if
he couldn't find something that suited
him, but has finally decided that
this section OF Montana is about as
good a place to settle down as any
place and has therefore decided to
make this country his future home
and will hereafter become one of
best boosters.
Mr.. Pickett did not dispose of his
land holdings when he left in IT
and is now glad that he didn't.
His many friends and neighbors are
pleased to have him settle down in
our midst.-Circle Banner.

NEILAN PRODUCES COMEDY
CHAPLIN ESSAYS TRAGEDY

Things have gone topsy turvey in
movieland. Rumor has it that Char
lie Chaplin has completed a feature
production along serious lines and
that it is so good that other concerns
are trying to wrest it away from the
First National Exhibitors Circuit
which has the famous comedian I'M
der contrace. David Wark Griffith
used a large amount of comedy in
"The Idol Dancer" and now comes a
production by Marshall Neilan which
is all comedy.
Don't Ever Marry is the pro-
duction by the noted director which
is uproarious comedy from the open
ing Gene to the closing episode. The
production is a surprise coming di-
rectly after the dramatic sensation
from the same director. Rivers
End" but it is safe to say that the
director will lose none Of his admir-
ers through his latest effort, but will
gain many more for it depicts a whole
series of as laughable scenes as has
ever been filmed, and the story is
dramatic.
1t is not SO surprising, at that, that
Mr.. Neilan should have produced
Don't Ever Marry" 1t is just such
comedy as all producers are always
seeking, but which are seldom found.
There is not a laugh in it dependent
upon the grotesqueness of any char
acter, but all the humor and come
dy, with which the picture abounds,
come from situations in which every
day people find themselves through a
combination of circumstances.
Edgar Franklin, the author of the
story from which the picture was
in writing the tale struck up
on a theme in which the action was
the main part, a novel which lent it
self admirably to adaptation to the
motion picture screen. Mr.. Frank
i'm is known to thousands of maya
zine readers for the delicious humor
Of his stories, and Mr.. Neilan has
transferred all of the humor in the
story, with some added
touches made possible only by the
of the camera. Don't Ever
Marry will be the attraction at the
Liberty Theatre next Thursday and
friday.

GOLD DISCOVERED
ON SIOUX CREEK
CIRCLE MAN FINDS WHAT MAY
PROVE FORTUNE=ORE SAID
TO TEST $4,000

This section heretofore has not
been classed as a gold mining region

Greek develops to what by some is
thought to be a big thing, we will
soon have a gold boom on, and there

The writer is informed that dur
ing the flood last June the high
water had washed away considerable
dirt along a cutbank on Sioux Greek
and that a few weeks ago., Mr..
Knopp had noticed a vein of rock
or ore that looked like there might
be gold in it. To satisfy himself as
to whether or not it was he had a
sample of it SEN to the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company at Butte
and they report the sample as con
tanning gold to the value of $50 a
ton, silver $1.06 per ton and a GER
tain percentage of copper. The
company also wrote Mr.. Knopp ask
ing detailed information as to the
location of his find and were very
much interested.
1t is reported that Mr.. Knopp has
already staked out and filed on the
ground where he made his find, go
ing to the cost of $4,000 to do so.
The vein is said to be about two feet
and has been traced a distance
of three-quarters Of a mile. Mr..

When any unsuspecting friend, with
