MILLION LEFT BY
TOURISTS IN 1921

More than $1,OOO,OO0 was spent
by tourists in the state of Montana
last year, was the information re-
ceived by Arthur Mattson, represen-
tative in Butte for the Yellowstone
Trail association, who opened offices
in Butte last week. The bulletin
just out from the headquarters of the
trail, giving statistics on last years
travel, shows that some $4,550,000
was spent in the states visited by
tourists. Of that amount Montana
received nearly one-quarter.
Although the season has just be-
gun, tourists from several states
called at the trail offices in one day
recently for road information and
bulletins.
Mattson has received a big ship
ment of pamphlets and bulletins on
road conditions, folders and maps of
states. The amount of this material
turned out last year by the national
association was 250,000 pieces of
printed matter. There we're 48,000
long distance tourists, averaging H.
600 miles travel apiece and carrying
10000 people in 1921
"The unprecedented growth in
travel over the trail highway can not
be overestimated and the figures in
the bulletin just received give hint
of it." Matson said. 1.-The fact alone
that millions of dollars are spent in
the cities through which the trail
runs is startling. When the service
was opened in 1921 the income was
$92 and in 1921 was $37,500."

The easy conquests of Mexico
and Peru in the Sixteenth century
made of Spain for the time being
the richest nation of that remark
able period of the worlds history
following the discovery Of Amer
lea. Galleon-loads of gold, the ac-
emulation of centuries of opera
ton of the mines there by the ma
tives, were sent to fill the treasures
of the Spaniards. The idea prevail
ent in Spain at the time was that
this was just the beginning, and
it was believed that the two Amer

tions, which in due time and at
the pleasure of the conquering
would come under the
mailed rule of Spain and contri-
butte to the flood of gold that was
flowing from the new world to Eu-
rope. A few Spaniards had ven
tured into the hinterland north of
Aztec Mexico and had brought
back to the Mexican capital stories
of the existence of other rich ma
tons, ripe for the plucking.
