any money and Gully a few took
stock. Before the new year, how
lever, syndicate was formed and
money provided for the working.
For two years the hackers did
nothing but produce money for de-
velopment and receive the jeers of
the wiseacres of the old Hope COM
pany.
In November, 1882, the work
had passed through a chute of 400
feet of ore averaging so ounces in
silver to the ton, and then through
lis feet of barren ground before
making the strike. Then prosper
ity began.
During the following year the
bonanza realized the investors
$274,OOO. In July, 1886, the pro-
duct of the mine as sold and GER
dited in bank at St. Louis was
/ 2,170,O00. From Octoer 8, 1880,
when the first tools were sent into
the mine, to April 8, 1885, the syn
dictate had paid assessments. In
April, 1885, the mine began to pay
dividends on its capital stock of
100000, divided into 100000
shares of par value of SIS each.
By October, 1886, the mine had
paid dividends aggregating ST.
100000, after paying all indebted
ness.
The first dividend declared was
10 cents share. This amount was
paid for several months, and then
increased to rs cents a share. This
continued for a year or two, and
then then so cents share was
paid every month for a number of
years. Thus man holding 50,000|
shares-and there were such-re-
ceived $4,000 a month in divi-
dends. Once or twice the dividend
was Is cents a share. This condi-
ton made Monte Cristos of men
who had been comparatively poor
From 10 cents a share to the out
set the stock was sold as high as
500 per share in the market in
1889.
Granite Mountain silver was the
the foundation of the first real es-
tate boom in St. Louis. With but
one exception the fortunes reaped
from this mine were employed to
foster the interests of that city.
The Merchants bridge and the
Terminal railway of St. Louis are
living monuments of Granite
Mountain and into the famous
Planters hotel went considerable
of the profits of the mine. Several
of the original directors built mag
nificent homes in Vandeventer
Place and other Fashionable St.
Louis districts.
There has often been told an in
teresting little story to the effect
that away back in 1875 Eli D. Hol-
land, while hunting, followed a
deer high up on the mountain side
and finally came upon bit of rock
which had been scraped by the
hoof of the deer in its flight so
that the mineral content was ex-
posed, Holland carrying the speci-
men with him and upon having it
assayed found high values which
led to the stalking out of the Gran
lite claim.
The late Paul A. Fusz, who was
later president of the Granite-Bi-
Metallic company, made denial of
this story. He said:
"The Granite fissure had an ex-
posed outcrop and consequently
had no aid from the deer which the
discoverer was alleged to be follow
ing at the time. It's discovery was

nVER in Granite county, IS
l miles from Anaconda, stands
- the famed Granite mountain,
the hill which in the eighties and
nineties made a number of million
aires and which is responsible for
much of the wealth of St. Louis,
where it was chiefly owned.
At the foot of this hill lies the
town of Phillipsburg, which was a
prosperous camp long before the
wealth of Granite mountain became
known. Fourteen or fifteen feet
above the town, clinging to the
steep, bare hill, are the buildings
that mark the surface af the Gran
tie Mountain and Bi-Matallic
mines, since 1896 consolidated into

from almost any portion of the
lower lying and beautiful valley
of Flint creek.
Neither beautiful nor picturesque
are these buildings, but they have
been intensely practical, and they
added vastly to the worlds store
of wealth and have brought riches
to many comparatively poor men.
The chief story of the hill clus-
tiers about Granite Mountain mine,
for it is the oldest. 1t had been
discovered in the early seventies

someday something might be re-

veteran miner and prospector,
declared he would not walk up the
d. hill again for the mine
"The mine in reality was discov-
cred by Charles D. Mcclure who
had visited the ledge in the. sum-
mer of 1880 at the request of Ho1-
land. In doing so, he came across
a small piece of float which, upon
careful examination, created in his
mind the impression that the big
ledge had merit, and he became SO
convinced of the truth of his be-
lief that after subsequent visits he
bonded the property in his own
name for 10000 and Immediately
took possession"
Through him syndicate was
formed formed consisting of St.
Louis investors and UP to the
of 1883, $4,000 was ex-
pended in development, the total
in purchase and de-
amounting to about
100000.

bed the position up to the time of

C. D. Mcclure acted as superin-

" Frank L. Perkins who had been
superintendent of the Hope Mining
which in 1885 built the
Hope mill, the first silver mill in
lontana. He remained as super

The Granite paid its first divi-
end of 10000 in April, 1885, less
nan a month after Plummer took

In 1884 Mr.. Mcclure purchased
ne properties lying west of the

BLAINE FAYORS PROBES
WHICH DON'T INCLUDE
HIS OWN PARTY
From Milwaukee Journal)

The La Toilette campaign, as wag-
ed by Gov. Blaine, centers wholly
about the Teapot Dome scandal. Gov.
Blaine took the field with speech
recurring about two hours to deliver,
reciting the revelations in the serat-
orial inquiry. His speech is repleta
with VIGOROUS attacks on Repablicai,
leaders. Like Senator La Toilette, ila
insists that President Coolidge cam
not disassociate himself from the
events which have involved notable
party leadership.
Had Conservatives been little
more alert in the last legislatures
they would be in a much better posi-
ton to reply. They could then draw
the deadly parallel on the Severson
resolution-a resolution to investl-
gate alleged Irregularities in state de-
partments at Madison, defeated by a
coalition of eight La Fallctte-Biaine
senator's, the Socialists, and five Con
servatives.
Even though their membership
provided five votes to st:fe tie in
curry, Conservative leaders are still
able to point the inconsistency CT the
La Toilette Blaine Teapot Dome pro
paganda. They might at least acorn
the tale with the moral that investi-
cations ought to begin at home.
Proponents of the Severson probe
thought there were various green
fields over which an investigation
committee might browse. Senator La
Follette's two chief campaign organ
izations, the Wisconsin Progressive
association and the Wonlen's Progress
sive association, failed to file ref orts
of their campaign expenditures,
though they were exceedingly active
in promoting the reelection Of the
senator.
But Why Probe?
1t was rumored that a high state
official, during the campaign, had
been recalled from his vacation to
sooth the anger of lady employed in
the capitol who, after being refused
