also Vestaps money that opened the
Belmont and Whippoorwill at EN-
pire, both good paying mines for sew
eral years.
Vestal's friends were legion, and
his purse strings were open to all who
needed assistance or charity. His

fortune gained in the Penobscot, but
he went ~cheerfully to work to gain
another stake, being one of the first
miners to get into Alaska. He re-
turned from Alaska with some money
and spent several years at Forest Hill
in California, on a property that he
had remembered from early days.
Later, his health failing, he made
his home at Oakland. He is sur
vived by his widow and two daugh-
ters.
Many mining men believe that
Vestal's old mine, the Penobscot, has
many times more wealth stillm in it
than ever has been taken out, and
that some day it will be worked prof
itably on a big scale again. Matt
w. Alderson~Of Butte, who has made
a thorough investigation and exam
ination of the property, says:
1.-THE Penobscot is n of those
properties which has been stripped
of such pay ore as was in sight and
easily removed. The ore bodies in
this, as in most mines, are in shoots.
and the practice has been to mine
out such shoots until they pinch on
the bottom and sides and call the
property worked out, instead Of do
ing development work ahead when
the mine is in profitable operation
to open up new territory. If, in some
places the veins pinched, no thought
was given to driving deeper to where
pay would come in again.
"This practice has not been on
fined to the P~enobscot property. 1t
is the usual thing in Montana. AS a
result, there is not a developed gold
mine in the state. We have Develop
ed copper properties Tin Butte, where
it is considered a sensible thing to
have ore In r~eserve), but we never
have developed a single gold mine"
With present day advantages of
mining, Mr.. Anderson believes that
the old Penobscot could be made in
to a bigger producer than aver by the
expenditure Of a reasonable sum on
development work.

MONTANA LEADING
in WINTER WHEAT
Is FIRST, SAYS THOMAS CAMP
BELL, PREMIER WHEAT FAR
MER OF AMERICA
Has $4,000 Acres Planted to Wheat
on Crow Reservation; Premium on
Montana Grown Wheat Offsets
High Freight Rates.

Montana is the best winter wheat
country in the United States, accord
ing to Thomas D. Campbell, manager
Of the Campbell Farming corpora
ton. Mr.. Campbell also asserts that
the crop prospects for this year are
the best since 1918.
The Campbell corporation farms
$4,000 acres on the Crow reserva-
ton nea Hardin. This year it has
10000 acres in winter wheat and 1O,-
900 acres in spring wheat. The con-
Germ has been operating in Montana
for five years.
Our success in Montana and our
confidence in the agricultural posi-
bilities that exist here are perhaps
best illustrated by the fact that we
are renewing all of our five-year
leases which are just now expiring"
said he. I'VE have proved to our
own satisfaction that wheat growing
here is less hazardous than in the
Red river country of North Dakota,
where my family has been engaged in
farming for 40 years.
Big Horn VS.. Red River
"In Big Horn county, for instance,
we have an average annual precipi-
tation of Is IL inches with a very
small run-off because the rains come
and the SHOWS melt at times when
the ground Is not frozen and is in
condition to absorb the moisture. In
the Red river valley of North Dakota
the average annual precipitation is
from 20 to % inches with a run-off
of from four to five inches. I am
not guessing at these figures, they
are state records.

VestaI Was the Man Who Developed
Famous PenObscot Property at
MarysviIle and Gave Thomas Cruise
Money to Open Drum Lummon.

About four years ago there died
In Oakland, California, q Montana
pioneer mining man whose name
was known the length and breadth
Of the western states as the man
who owned the richest gold mine
in the world. The nan was Nate
Vestal, and his mine was the IA
nous old PenObscot al Marysville
which produced from IS feet Of one
Of its shafts the largest bar Of gold
and silver bullion over taken from
q single mine. This bar, cast from
the gold produced by q few weeks
run, was 20 inches long, several
inches wide and three and three
fOurths inches thick. 1t weighed
moro than 242 pounds and its
value was 5 4,262.62.
The Helena Herald, commenting
on the production of the mine at the
time, said: mo other gold mine that
this or any other country has ever
known, has ever produced in the
same period, with similar working
facilities, SO large an amount OF
bullion" Commenting on the Pen
obscot in 1873, the Alta California
said the largest bar from n mine
prior to this was $5O,832 from Spring
Valley claim in Butte county, Cali
fornia, in 1877.
Staked Thomas Cruise
Nate Vestal was a shrewd mining
man, who knew pres and formations
better than most men. 1t was he
who gave Thomas Cruise the money
to operate the famous Drum Lummon
mine at Marysville, from which Cruise
afterward made millions. Cruise
drove an extremely sharp bargain
with Vestal, however, and as was
usually the case, the prospector and
discoverer Of the mine made the
money while the man who put up the
cash to open up the property merely
received a moderate return on the
money he invested.
Vestal was not the discOverer of
the Penobscot, as is usually claimed,
but bought the property from the
original locators, who took up the
claims December 1, 1874. These

operations were successful from the

$150,OO0, he sold the mine to the

son, J. Henry Longmaid, who took

produced $1,23O,000.
Vestal Boosts Helena
Back in the latter 7O's Vestal was
popular man in Helena, when that
city was feeling blue and depressed
over the exodus of it's mining men to
the Black Hills. Because Vestal
stuck and developed the Penobscot,
he encouraged many others to work
