CHURCHES SHOULD
Spend Big MONEY
FOR ADVERTISING
Especial to The Tribunel

CHICAGO, Feb. 21-Every church
should set aside money to be used
for newspaper advertising, Rev. ]. t.
Brabner, of the Committee on Con-
servation and Advance of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, declared in an
address here.
''The church can send its message
in the papers to non-church-goers and
to those of its members detained at
home because of sickness, business
and other causes" he said.
"The preacher speaks to hundreds
while the newspapers speak to thous-
ands and millions Church members
should assist editors, but criticism of
editors and editorial policies of news
is harmful The pulpit and press
should pull together and not apart"

MarshaII's Good idea

About a year ago c.. l.. Marshall
of the Wolf Point Herald conceived
the idea of inducing the farmers OF
his section of the country to name
their farms, and started a campaign
in his newspaper to this end. The
effort was very successful and. now
nearly all the farms around Wolf
Point are named. Recently MI. Mar
shall compiled and published a direc-
tory of the farms as named, and their
owners. A couple of copies of the
directory were sent to each farm
owner. The service was entirely free
of charge and vas much appreciated,
and as a result many of the farm
owners are having stationery printed.
The idea is a new one and should be
put into effect in every community.

THAT GAllATDM COUNTRY
HAS PLAYED 0M HISTORY

The Ga1latin river from which the
valley takes it's name, was named il
honor of Albert Gallatin, who was
secretary of the treasury under
Thomas Jefferson, under whose ad
ministration the Lewis and Clark ex
petition was fostered.
Of the early Indian history of the
Gallatin valley little is known. AS
far back as there is any knowledge
the Indians of the upper Columbia
were in the habit of crossing over
into the Yellowstone or Musselshel
country on their buffalo hunts, and
their annual trips were usually
through the Gallatin valley and
across the Bozeman pass. The Gala
tin valley itself has not been the per-
manent abode of any tribe of Indians
since the beginning of the century.
1t has been debatable ground, claimed
by the Blackfeet, but really a COM
mon fighting ground for all the sur
rounding tribes.
The first white man known to have
explored this region is Sieur de la
V~erendrye, who pushed his way up
the Missouri during the years 1880 to
1744.
First Trading Post
Early in 1907 manuel Lisa with a
large party assembled the Missouri and
Yellowstone rivers and built a trad
ing post on the latter river at the
mouth of the Big Horn, Lisa wished
to extend the scope of his operation
still further west, and, returning to
st. Louis he, with II others, formed
the Missouri Fur company, with a
capital of $4,000, and the year 1909
found him again ascending the yell
lowstone. Crossing the Bozeman
pass, he established a post at the
Three Forks of the Missouri, now in
Gallatin county.
The next 80 years was the golden
age of the Rocky mountain fur trade.
The Missouri, the American, the
Rocky Mountain and other fur COM
panies held sway in the mountains
and on the plains. Few permanent
posts were established, except on the
Missouri, the lower Yellowstone, and
the Arkansas. The men of this local
ity were men of the rifle and the
knife, and not of the pen.
In 1861 there arose a cry of won
derful gold fields far north. The
great rush was for the Bannack
country. In the winter of 1862-63
two men, John M. Bozeman and John
M. Jacobs, left Bannack for the states
with the idea Of looking out a shorter
route for emigrants than the round
about one, up the Platte. They we're
set afoot by the Sioux on Powder
river and nearly starved, being re-
duced to a diet of gr~asshoppers, but
made their way finally to Missouri.
They started back Immediately to
guide a train through by the new
road. Meeting hostile Indians, they
were turned back and compelled to
by the way of Lander's cutoff
and Snake river.

Bozeman himself went back to Mis-
souri, and succeeded in getting a

BY Matt w. Anderson

The first gold quartz mine discoy-
cred in Montana from which any
money of any consequence was taken
was the Whitlatch-Union mine, near
Helena. 1t was discovered by James
w. Whitlatch. He came here from
Colorado, reaching Helena Septem-
Der II, 1854.
Whitlatch started out Immediately
after his arrival, in search of the
mother lode" which, according to
general opinion, must have fed Last
Chance with it's placer gold. Ten
days later he filed notice of his dis
covery. This was about midway be-
tween Orc Elmo and Grizzly gulches,
the two gulches whose coming to-
gether formed Last Chance. Every
one. at the time believed he had
found the source of the placer gold
of these three gulches; but in the
working out of the gulches afterward
the placer deposit did not come with
in a quarter Of a mile of the Whit
latch on either side but went on be-
yond.
In these days a quartz location
was but 200 feet in length instead of
1900 as at present, Mining loca-
tions were made and respected by
others as good from the time gold
was first discovered in the territory;
but it was some years before mining
surveys could be perfected and appli-
cation made to the government for
title. Whitlatch made the first min
eral entry in the territory, entry No.
/, October Is, 1857, for 200 feet on
the Park Lode in Edgerton county,
now Lewis and Clark.
The discovery by Whitlatch at a
time when placer mining was at it's
height naturally drew attention to
Helena. Whitlatch fulfilled in large
the popular idea of the typi-
of hope and enthusiasm; and so long
he had a few dollars in his pocket
he walked with the comfortable feel
ing of a millionaire. The vein he
discovered proved to have pay ore
for a length of about 1000. feet and
in a short time several mills we're
crushing ore from it. The banner
year of its productiveness was in
1868, when it yielded nearly $780,
600.
In October, 1865, Whitlatch inter-
ested Theodore and James A. Roose-
welt, father and uncle of the late !
Roosevelt, in the property
and in the formation of the National
and Exploration company. A
small settlement had been made near
the mine and it was called Owyhee
Park. Whitlatch changed the name
TO Roosevelt, but the gentlemen of
name objected and the name
was changed to Unionville, the name
t bears to this day.
Whitlatch was not an inexperienc-
ID miner when he came to Montana.
AS a boy but sixteen years of age, he
had owned one of the richest claims

Whitlatch was a good advertiser of
himself, a great believer in the coun-
try and a great booster of things OF
a progressive nature. He was large
ly instrumental in having the Mon
tana Post removed from Virginia
City to Helena and he supplied Fisk
Bros. with the money necessary to
get the press and other needed equip
ment to make the Herald the first
paper of consequence in the state. He
was one of the men who influenced
Col. w. F. Sanders to move from Vir-
ginia to Helena, where he retained
him as his attorney.
The Whitlatch building, on the
site of the present Masonic Temple
was a prominent Helena land mark
for years.
With the decline in production OF
the mines Whitlatch left the terri
tory. He went to New York and
soon thereafter opened a hotel in
Brooklyn. He had some qualities
which go to make a good hotel keep
er, but he lacked in that attention to
the business details so essential to
success in any enterprise and he was
so generous that he was easily i'm
posed upon, wen after his broad ex-
perience in this western country.
He closed out his interests in the
east and struck out into what to him
was the land of enchantment, the

ket to the extent that it has in the
past and by spring we will e the
price of oil much better than it is
today.
The main developments in the Sun
burst field will come in the period o.
increasing prices. When n realizes
that up to this time, the field has
barely been scratched and that de-
velopments this year have been mere
ly sufficient to outline a producing
area of $4,000 acres of oil land and
there are but $50 wells that are pro-
ducing i'm that area, the future pos
sibilities seem to be tremendous. II
will require at least 5000 wells &c
develop this amount of acreage and
only $50 producers will have been
drilled. 1t will be seen from this
that it will require ten years to de-
velop the area now known to be
good, even at the rate of 500 new
wells a year. If $4,000 or $4,000
more acres of oil land are added to
the large area already productive,
which is we'll within the bounds Of
possibility, the Sunburst field will
have around $4,000 acres of oil land,
and Is to 20 years will be required
to drill it out at the rate of 500 wells
per year, although it is quite pos
sible that when the price of oil in
.creases, the campaign will be 1000
wells per year, instead of half that
number. The campaign for 1928
called for at least 500 wells, but the
low price curtailed such extensive
operations. However, the production
from the wells was higher than was
originally expected. AS much oil is
being obtained from the smaller
number of wells as was contemplated
from three times that number.
Those operators who have follow
ed the field carefully have had their
faith justified and are firm in their
belief in the possibilities of the area.
The field is not a sensational n
except for its size. It is the kind of
a field that attracts substantial oil
operators, who appreciate the advan-
tage of shallow drilling, the low cost
of wells, and good production. 1t is
just such a field as has made the
fortunes of many large operators.
Those flash-in-the-pan fields attract
the public EYE, but cause the loss of
many millions of dollars in wildcat
investments. The true money-makers
of the oil business are the substantial
fields like the Sunburst oil and gas
field.

land of the mountains, where he be-
lieved he would again retrieve his
fallen fortunes.
In the wolds of Mexico he met with
an accident, whereby a thigh bone
was broken. When he recovered he
found himself a cripple for life, with
failing eyesight.
In the Sandia mountains of New
Mexico he eventually found a rich
gold mine ad nhe realized a fortune
from it. This went from him very
rapidly and he was again a seeker
after wealth. I saw him last about
1886 or 1886 when he spent some
months in Montana. At that time he
was en~deavoring to promote the sale
of the Great Eastern, a large body of
low grade r in Emigrant Gulch,
then as nov owned by parties in
Bozeman. His efforts were abortive
and a year or two later he was at
Spokane making strenuous efforts to
accumulate something to leave for
his foul boys and their mother.
In August, 1890, he was in San
Francisco, where he was hopeful of
putting I'VE two sales of consider
able magnitude. 1t was at a time
when it was not easy to interest CAPT.
tai and his physical and mental
strength had been severely taxed for
years; with waning powers, his rea-
son deserted him temporarily and his
life was ended in a San Francisco
hotel by a bullet fired by his own
hand.
Whitlatch was the man of the hour
for Helena. The mine he discovered
was at the height of it's productive
about worked out. His discovery en-
couraged prospecting that led to the
finding of such a number of good
mines as made the city of Helena the
richest in the United States, in pro-
portion to its population. The mine
which he opened has been dug out
and dug in again several times and
is today as in years past producing
good ore at the hands of leasers.
Withal the lead has been opened to
the shallow depth of but a few hun
dred feet and the real mine has not,
in all probability, been touched.
Whitlatch was genial, whole-soul-
ed, liberal, and generous to a fault.
Every old timer who knew him al
ways speaks well of him with kind
ly memories. He led the way to a
.storehouse of wealth, taking for
himself but a small part of it. Hell
ena needs today a man of a different
man with capital and a prac-
Teal knowledge and understanding
Of mining. He should have confid-
ence to expend his money and bust

foresight that would bring desired
Such a man may come some

work of Whitlatch and other enter
prospectors than we enjoyed
