MONTANA LEADING
In WINTER WHEAT
Is FIRST, SAYS THOMAS CAMP
BELL, PREMIER WHEAT FAR
MER OF AMERICA
Has 10000 Acres Planted to Wheat
ON Grow 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
10000 acres on the Grow reserva-
ton near Hardin. This year it has
10000 acres in winter wheat and TO-
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. 1--WE 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
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.
about two inches of the Red
river country's rain comes in the fall
just at time when it interferes with

gluten content of any that reaches

,eption of Manitoba wheat. And in
uture years the price of wheat is

-alue. Our Montana wheat brings
premium in the Minneapolis market |
which offsets to a large extent the |
handicap of greater freight rates
which operates to our disadvantage.
Drought Unprecedented

we're unprecedented. Drought had /

erhaps will never occur again. All

were making an honest living by its
distillation or distribution. Besides
this element of commercial pride
which protected the drinker, there
was the larger consideration of gov
ernmental supervision.
The effects of the Volstead act,
rather than it's enforcement-fo the
law is not enforced-will make many
quit drinking. The old-time whiskey
drinker was considerable of con-
noisseur. There is practically moth
ing left today for the alcoholic con-
noisseur to drink. While prohibition
or its farcial substitute will not
change his opinions, it's a case of
a forced put.

also Vestaps money that opened the
Belmont and Whippoorwill at EN-
pire, both good paying mines for sew
era1 years.
VestaIs friends were. legion, and
needed assistance or charity. His
open-heartedness soon dissipated 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
Vestals old mine, the Penobscot, has
many times more wealth stillm in 1t
than ever has been taken out, and
that some day it will be worked prof
itably on big scale again. Matt
w. Anderson of Butte, who has made
a thorough investigation and exam
ination of the property, says:
'TThe Penobscot is one 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
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 con-
fined to the Penobscot property. 1t
Is the usual thing in Montana. AS
result, there is not a developed gold
mine in the state. We have develop
I'd copper properties Tin Butte, where
It is considered a sensible thing to
nave ore in reserve), but we never
nave developed a single gold mine"
With present day advantages of
mining, Mr.. Anderson believes that
he old Penobscot could be made in
o bigger producer than ever by the
of reasonable sum on
development work.

HE OWNED RICHEST
MINE OF ITS DAY
NATE VESTAL CAST GOLD BAR
OF 242 POUNDS WORTH $751;
2O2, AFTER SHORT RUN
VestaI Was the Man Who Developed
Famous Penobscot Property at
Marysville and Gave Thomas Cruise
Money to Open Drum Lummon.

About four years ago there died
in Oakland, California, a 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 man was Nate
VestaI, and his mine was the Ia
nous old Penobscot at Marysville
which produced from IS feet of one
of its shafts the largest bar of gold
and silver bullion ever taken from
a single mine. This bar, cast from
the gold produced by a few weeks
run, was 20 inches long, several
inches wide and three and three
fourths inches thick. 1t weighed
more than 242 pounds and its
value was $54, 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 1878, the Alta California
said the largest bar from one mine
prior to this was s50,832 from Spring
Valley claim in Butte county, Cali
fornia, in 1877.
Staked Thomas Cruise
Nate Vesta1 was a shrewd mining
man, who knew ores 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
while the man who put up the
cash to open up the property merely
received moderate return on the
money he invested.
VestaI 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
were w. r. RAIDER, one of the bro
theirs after whom Radersburg is
named; J. E. Murphy, H. c.. Nash,
and w. H. Murphy. Vestal purchas-
ed the property from them for a
small sum in the fall of 1876. His
operations were successful from the
start, and after taking out about
$15O,0O0, he sold the mine to the
5nowdrift and Penobscot Consolidat-
ed Mining company, which took out
about 100000 while they owned it.
In 1885 the Penobscot was sold tol
John Longmaid, who took out $685.
900. Longmaid sold the mine to his
son, j. Henry Longmaid, who took
out $215,00O. Altogether the mine
produced s1,230,000.

Back in the latter 70's Vestal was

,ity was feeling blue and depressed |

TURN OF GOLD TIDE
seen BY Mr.. HOOVER
Believes U. S. Soon Will Export
Surplus by Trade Bal
ance Change. -

Change in the international trade
balance against the United States.
shown in latest Commerce Depart
ment reports of foreign trade, is
chiefly important for the tendency 1t
will have to reduce this nations stock
Of gold. Secretary Hoover declared
yesterday in a general discussion of
the subject. The vast volume of i'm
ports. he declared. might in reality
be considered somewhat of an index
to the nations need for raw materi-
ais and mi-manufactured goods to
keep up the volume of production
recently attained in industry.
Il don't think the excess Of i'm
ports over exports has any relation
to the fundamental situation within
the nation in production and con-
sumption" Mr.. Hoover said. How
ever, it does mark the turning of the
tide in the flow of gold. and we may
be exporting our surplus stock soon.
Undoubtedly, the imports are stim-
ulated to a degree by rising prices
within the United States, which at
tracts commodities here at the same
time that it tends to keep home pro-
duction on the domestic markets. Yet
the total volume of exports when
compared to the country's domestic
production is small.
Much of our increasing imports
are made up of raw materials and
semi manufactured products which
go to our own manufacturing plants.
To the degree they fall within this
classification. our increased imports
are due to increased activity of busi-
ness and to heightened consumption
within the United States"
