ANACONDA MISER
LEAVES FORTUNE
MISS HILDA ROSS, RODEO RIDER
AND COWGIRL, DAUGHTER,
GETS ESTATE
Gust johnson Thought To Be Inn
p~overished, Leaves $4,000 in Lib
erty Bonds; Girl Quits Range To
Claim her money.

After learning hal she was heir
to an estate left her by her father,
the late Gust A. johnson of Anacon-
da, Mrs. Hilda Foss Mondeau of
Minot, ND, has arrived to settle up
the affairs of her father and to claim
the fortune left her.
Gust Johnson, the young woman's
father, was one of the old time resi-
dents of Anaconda. He had done very
little work for several years and
patched in a small house on North
Cherry street. He suffered a great
deal from rheumatism, and it was
generally believed he was in strained
circumstances financially. Not seeing
any smoke pouring from the chimney
the morning of December 81, Eman-
uel Strum, one of his most intimate
friends, called to see if he was i'll.
He discovered the body of the old
man in a chair directly in front of
the stove. To all appearances he had
been dead several hours, and indica-
lions were he was in the act of kind
ling his fire when stricken.
Following the removal of the body,
a search of the home disclosed the
fact that he was the possessor of
approximately $4,000 in Liberty
bonds, stocks and other valuable pa
pers. The stock was all of the con-
sentative variety. Among the papers
was a letter, several years old, writ
ten by his daughter. The letter bore
a Brewing postmark, and inquiry
made of the authorities at that place
brought the information Miss Foss
had left there and when last heard
from was in Minot, N. D. The matter
was taken up with Minot authorities,
who discovered the young woman
had formerly worked in the Hagerty
hotel, but had left there to secure
work on a ranch. She had said she
preferred to ride the range in prefer
ence to inside work.
When the story reached her she
had but recently finished ear-mark-
ing about 400 calves on the Bill Show
ranch, and was giving her attention
to breaking a number of bronchos.
The story was nothing short of a
revelation to her, as she had never
dreamed her father vas the possessor
of so large an estate. According to
word from North Dakota, which
reached Anaconda last evening, she
didn't lose her head over her good
fortune, but returned to the task of
breaking one of the broncs that had
given her more trouble than any of
the others. After completing the task
she packed her belongings and rode
Minot to establish her claim.

ton mill of the waterpower type,
an abandoned hope of some of the
pioneers in the mining game in
Montana.
Erected over a half century ago,
it was destined for but a brief pc
Rod of operation, for, after the mi
tial run it was relegated to the long
list of failures which attended min
ing here and there all through the
mountains.
The mill was built of logs, long
before Georgetown lake came into
being and it is said that not a nail
was used in its construction. The
stamps with which the gold bear
ing ore was crushed were operated
by power generated by an immense
over-shot water wheel.
From this wheel, by means of a
large wooden cog wheel which ar
ticulated with a smaller wooden
cog wheel upon an Independent
shaft the power was transmitted
by belt to the stamp mill. Water
for the operation of the wheel was
brought from a large spring some
distance back in the hillside.

undertook a vigorous plan of de-
velopment with a view of opening
up new ore bodies in the lower
levels. In their hands a moderate
production was obtained for some
time and considerable new ground
prospected. The total production
of the mine from the time of its
discovery up to 1913 was between
100000 and 100000.
Numerous other mines in the
Philipsburg quadrangle were oper-
ated for many years at great prof
it, in some of which limited opera
ton is still progressing, although
nothing has been done with many
during the past 10 years.
Among these workings, includ-
ing the Cable, or Atlantic Cable, as
it was originally named, we're the
Hope, Granite Mountain, Bimetal-
lie, Combination, Pyrenees and
Southern Cross. The government
estimate upon the production of the
various mines in the quadrangle,
up to 1913, was about $50,00O,0O0,
of which about one-fifth was gold
and the balance silver. Included
in this was about $250,000 in cop
per, lead, iron and manganese.
Mining operations were carried
with difficulty and expense in
the early days of the Philipsburg
district owing to the remoteness of
stations. Three routes COM
municated with outside points. One
was by way of Fort Benton, which
for a few weeks in favorable sea-
sons was the head of navigation on
the Missouri river, and thence by
wagon road through Helena to
Philipsburg or Cable. A second
by wagon road from Salt
which is now approximately
the route of the Oregon Short Line
between Salt Lake and Butte. This
route necessitated a wagon haul of
500 miles.
A third route was the Mullan
wagon road constructed by the fed
eral government between Fort
Benton and Walla Walla, Wash,
connecting with points on the Col
lmbia river. The milling costs
we're especially high for the treat
nent of silver ores, for salt, which
vas used in great quantity in silver
had to be transported from
Utah and in 1871 brought $120 a
on at Philipsburg.
1t was in connection with the
industry that Georgetown
axe, now one of the best fishing
of Montana, was created.
The story of the formation of the
AXE and the geology of the lake
is told by biologists Of the

though showing the ravages of the
elements.
The pure, crystal water which
once turned this immense wheel
still flows from the hillside, but it
is being utilized for an entirely diff
ferent purpose. Some of it goes to
supply the cottages and summer
cabins of a private resort scattered
through the timber surrounding
the spring and some goes into the
troughs of the state fish hatchery
and cycling station nearby.
The mill was built in 1873 and
1874 by DR.. O. B. Whitford and
Thomas Stuart, the latter a brother
of the late pioneer historian, Gran
vile Stuart, and that it was known
as Stuart's mill is very evident
from the fact that the little stream
which now flows into Georgetown
lake at this point bears the name,
Stuart Mill Creek.
DR.. Whitford is still living and
resides in Portland, Ore, to which
place he recently removed after a
long period of years in Butte.
From his son, c. S. Whitford, of
Butte, has been obtained a letter
bearing information regarding the
mill as follows:
II was present 81 and 81 years
ago when the Stuart mill was erect
ed and afterwards was employed in
the same. 1t was built by my fa-
ther and Tom Stuart, brother to
Granville and Jim. 1t was com
prised of five 750-pound stamps,
and a 25-foot over-shot water
wheel, the motive power being
from a spring about 500 yards
away.
"The mill was built for the pur-
pose of crushing the gold ore from
the Rosa Whitford mine, about
four miles distant towards Cable.
The ore was transported by bull
teams and about 300 tons of rock
was put through the stamps. As
says ran as high as $500 per ton,
but the rock was so uniformly alike
in weight and color that careful as
sorting was impossible and the re-
was that in the final cleanup.
instead of giving returns of what
was confidently expected, from So
to SIS per ton-six-bits was all.
Now Property of A. C. M.
"The venture, of course, was a
total failure, costing between $25,-
900 and $4,000. The mill stands
in a dilapidated condition, the pro-
Derty of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, to be preserved
as a curiosity of the early Montana
method of working ores. 1t is
claimed that not a spike or nail
vas used in the construction of the
mill. Doc Conner was the mill
wright. The spring that turned

axe. | freighted over the bottom /.
If what is now the lake" |
The Cable mine, which is refer y
to by MI. Whitford, was one G
# the early and successful mines q
# the Philipsburg quadrangle and 2
S situated near the head of Cable I
reek, Is miles northwest of Ana I
onda. 1t was discovered in 1860 e
nd the following year a mill was n
'ullt to treat the ore. The total a
reduction up to 1872 was $780, q

nd a single ton is said to have s
lelded $4,000. A nugget of gold :
rom this mine, worth 1915, was :
hown by Salton Cameron at the
centennial exposition.
In 1877 ]. c. Savory bought tn
line and built a new mill which
as operated until 1891. Durins

a small dam behind which a lake,
now about six square miles in area,
gradually formed. From this res
ervoir the water is conducted by a
flume to a power plant at the lower
end of the gorge, from which the
energy developed is transmitted in
the form of electricity to Ana
conda.
"The lake should be called arti-
ficial only with a qualification. for
those who made it did nothing
more shan to repair an ancient nat
ural reservoir in whose walls the
overflowing water had made a
breach through which at last al
most all of it escaped. The dam
which first ponded the water in
this hollow and caused it to rise
so high that it overlooked the low
est point of its rim was of ice flow
ing from the summit of the Ana
conda range, but after the ice re-
treated the moraines left by it pro-
badly formed the dam of a shall
lake that existed for a con-
siderable period before it was
drained by the deepening of the
outlet"

Source of Fish Fry

In addition to supplying water
for the Flint creek power plant
Georgetown lake is the source of
supply for the big Washoe smelter
of the Anaconda company at Ana
conda. Water is carried from the
lake into Silver Lake and then by
fumes along the hillsides to the
smelter, a distance Of about Is
miles.
For years the state fish and
game department has been making
use of the waters of Georgetown
lake for the furnishing of a supply
of fish fry for planting in the va
rious other lakes and streams Of
the state. By means of fish traps
it has long been taking eggs at the
mouths of Flint creek and Stuart
Mill creek, where they flow into
Georgetown lake.
Last year about 100000 trout
eggs and nearly as many grayling
eggs we're taken in these waters
and then to the Georgetown lake
eyeing station from which they
were afterwards distributed to the
hatcheries about the state for hat
ching preparatory to planting IN
fishing streams.

. New York, May 13.-"Thc most
impressive game have ever seen u
recruit pitcher work"
SO remarked Manager John Nc
Graw of the New York Giants after
Pitcher Wayland Dean had beaten
Brooklyn 3 to ? in 10 innings, in his
National League debut.
1t is questionable if any rookie
pitcher ever turned in more re-
markable ball game in his first ma
jor league appearance.
In the first inning he was battcd
for two home runs, clean, hard
drives into the left and right field
bleachers at the Polo grounds.
Such a greeting is enough to
throw even veteran star off his
poise. 1t didn't seem to disturb
| Dean in the least.
After a poor getaway he settled
down, and for nine innings blanked
the Brooklyn club, being returned
! the victor in the extra session.
Deans debut will go down into
history. After being struck for two
| home runs in the first inning, he
/ allowed only Two hits in the mex,
eight sessions.
In the tenth and final inning he
| again found himself in trouble. Two
hits and a pass in the extra inning
filled the bases with only one out,
yet he kept the Dodgers from scor-
ing.
winning ball game like that
should make Dean, if there was any
previous doubt as to his ability" is
the way McGraw sums up the kid
pitchers opening game.
