HOW MONTANA BORDER WAS
SURVEYED 1M 1872; SURVIVOR
EXPEDITION MONTANA MAN

IN the top of the Continental di

- tinent, in the little mining camp
of Stemple on the Stemple Hill be.
tween Helena and Lincoln, lives Ly-
man E. Guillot, rs years of age, one
of the few surviving members, and
possibly the only one now in Mon
tana, of the party which in the early
seventies surveyed and marked the
northern boundary of Montana as a
part of the international boundary
separating the United States and the
British possessions.
Guillot is a miner, has been a resi-
dent of Montana since 1877, and has
operated in the old placer and quartz
mining camps of Mcclellan Gulch,
old Lincoln, M%arysville and Stemple.
He has been located On the Stemple
hill Since 1891, where he has done a
little prospecting on claims of his own
but for several years has been watch
man at the Bachelor mine, owned by
the Royal Exploration company, not
now being worked.
He was a native of New Hampshire
and had come west in 1870, locating
at Pembina, a little border town on
the Red river, about two miles south
of the 49th parallel, which boosted
a customs house and a few houses
and stores. Guillot opened a photo
graph studio, which he was operat-
ing in the spring of 1872 when the
first party of British engineers came
there to start upon the survey from
the Lake of the Woods to the summit
Of the Rocky maintains.
The British party consisted of be-
tween 80 and 40 engineer soldiers
and Guillot took employment with it
as a field clerk, he being the only
American in the employ of the British
force on that survey. He received
$40 a month, together with his ra-
lions of food and tobacco, while or

must bear witness to the faithful and
intelligent performance of his duties
by the commissioner, who has already
taken part in fixing the boundary at
other points of the line, and by his
sub~ordinates, and by the officers of

in the performance of the work.

Helped on @. p. r.. Survey
Guillot was discharged in the fall
of 1874 at Dufferin Barracks, two
miles north of the line on the Red
river, and the following spring went
up to Winnipeg, where, due to his
experience on the boundary survey,
he was employed by Henry Mcleod,
chief engineer of the Canadian Paci-
fic railway, a brother of Major Nc
Leod, as a member of a party about
to start out on a survey for a possible
route of the railway to the Pacific.
This party went out to Edmonton and
explored the Maline river country

BESSEMER PLANS FINAL CAMPAIGN FOR Y.M.C.A. FUND
Saturdays Total For New Building Stands At
 $55,599
(Bessemer Bureau)

BESSEMER, Ala, Dec. 13.-With $55, 5,999 already subscribed, Bessemer this morning begins its final drive to put the Y. NJ. c. A. campaign over the S75 ,OO0 mark by tomorrow night.
 There was no regular meeting of workers yesterday, but number of them gathered at the "Y" at noon to discuss plans for the. next two days. These reported that they had secured subscriptions for $1,325 during the morning. With the $54,274 previous. ly reported, this brings the amount sub scribed to date within $19,4 ,401 of the $75,000 required to make all pledges ef- fective. Campaign officials and work CTS say they are determined that this S75,0 sholl be subscribed by Monday night
 To that end, every pastor in the city will make another appeal for the cause from his pulpit today; every Sunday school class in the city will have the mater called to its attention and will be asked 10 subscribe as individuals or or ganizations and a mass meeting of all Bessemerites is to be held at the r. M. c. A. building at 3 80 o'clock. this aft GrnOon.
 On Monday at o'clock, workers will gather for luncheon at the "" build ing. The local Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions cluubs have accepted invitations to attend in body and efforts are be- ing made to have the city council, the board of county commissioners anld the county and city boards of education at- tend also. Preparations will be made for around 400 persons, it is announced.
 Lack of workers has been a handicap under which the campaign has labored from the beginning, it is said, and it is expected that many endorsements will be obtained following the meeting Mon day. Afterwards, workers will go out for their final drive before the Monday night dinner, hoping to report that all of the $500 prospects listed have been seen. So far, only one half the num- Der has been canvassed.
 General Secretary Acklley and Gen eral Campaign Chairman Perry yester- day expressed themselves as being more optimistic than at any other time since the canvass began. The city as a whole is beginning to show more enthusiasm than has hitherto been manifested, they declare, and this, they assert, is all that is necessary to assure the success of the campaign. Both expressed confidence that tomorrow nights reports will show at least the necessary $75,000, pledged.
 In addition to the regular canvassing committees the industrial committee" 1" the boys and the girls committees from the high school, and the committee rep resenting the women's organization of the city, will report at that time. These reports should boast the days totals far above those of any previous day, of ficials declare.
