passes the test of these satisfactorily,
a huge industry follows, furnishing
employment for common labor most

Of operations. This is largely the
basis of MOntana's future in the pro-
dUctiOn of minerals. A few of Mon

staged a comeback" through the
discovery of the inherent values con-

Bannack, Argenta, Marysville, Elk

thousands hung upon rich surface

The prOspectOr who discovers a

secure a hearing, then await the
sampling of his find by different
crews of experts; the titles must be
verified; legal tangles Strengthened
out; the money market jockeyed, and
at the best it is a weary wait usually
before the actual cash is handled by
the discOveTeT. If the ore can be

though harmless prOspectOr, had Oc-
cupied a Tamshackle cabin on the
south end of the New Departure
claim for a great many years. He
amused himself and others, perhaps,
by running a series of what he termed
tunnels" and which were nothing
more than rambling trenches rooted
over with brush or any other mater
ial that came handy. Jimmy always
strenuOusly maintained that he was
the rightful owner of the New De-
parture, and in other ways was pref
ty much Of a thorn to Mr.. Brown,
but who, nevertheless, allowed him
to occupy the land so long as he lived
and also saw that his simple needs
were supplied.
The New Departure, which was
the individual property of Mr.. Brown,
was evidently regarded by him Is a
sort of safety deposit vault. After
the property was on sound producing
basis, as the notion occurred he
would lay off most of his crew, take
a rest at the home he had established
for his family at Dillon, or perhaps
travel for a change. Whenever he
needed funds a crew would be put to
work at the mine md operations con-
tinued under his personal supervis-
ion until another period of rest was
decided upon. For years he operated
in this fashion, shipping all his ore to
Omaha for treatment, the returns
averaging about $3.50 per ton in
values, mostly silver and gold.
The New Departure was an ideal

as fill the visions of the lonely pros

TT IS the dream of every prospector
to find a high-grade lead, but IN
4 the history Of metal mining it is
conclusively shown that the low
grade leads are the ones which show
the big and permanent profits. Of
all the high-grade camps which
fIourished 20 and 80 years ago in
the Rocky Mountain region, a very
few survive today and these are
now nearly all dependent for their
existence upon the formerly despised
lOw-grade ore which, under modern
methods of mining and milling, are
made to pay reasonable returns up
on investment.
Science, research and mechanical
invention have made vast improve
ment in the mining world, as in 9th
er directions and the West has only
made a start as yet in the explOita-
ton of it's vast mineral wealth. Why,
I know of a veritable mountain of
Quartzite that is said to run some
four dollars in gold to the ton, and
Just as soon as j a scrape up a
couple of million I'm going to open
up that proposition. The only re-
quisite for acquiring wealth in low
grade is faith and plenty of capital.
I'm lousy with the former, though
somewhat shy on the latter.
Recently the state railroad com
mission has permitted the removal
of the rails of branch lines which
formerly served the isolated mining
camps of Elkhorn and Marysville

those rails will be relaid. The rail.
road to Barker was abandoned some
ten or fifteen years ago, the rails re.
moved and the right-Of-way reverted
to the county. During the last year
there has probably been more ore
hauled by motor trucks and wagons
over the old railroad right-Of-way
now converted into a county road
than was shipped from the camp pre-
viOusly during it's entire fOrty-oOC
years of existence. The answer is

There is little of the romance OF
adventure connected with low-gradt

UPHOLD PRESIDENTS ORDER
Both House and Senate Committees
Report Presidents Order Legal;
Britten Resolution Turned Down

The House judiciary committee, June 10,
voted to 7 against the resolution of Rep
resentative Brtten, which would forbid
state and local employees from accepting
any federal jobs. The Britten resolution
was directed against the order of Presi-
dent Coolidge authorizing municipal,
county and state police officers to become
members of the federal dry enforcement
staff at nominal salary.
Representative Graham, of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the committee, cast the
deciding vote. A report for the House
then was prepared by Graham, declaring
that the President, in his order, had acted
legally 'in the interest of the public serv-
ice" and that 'the order does not invade
states rights
On June the Senate judiciary sub
committee upheld the legality of President
Coolidge's order by vote of 5 to q. 1t
is generally believed that the Presidents
order, however, will never be put into eff
feet, as there is not single application
from municipal or state police officers now
pending for enlistment in the federal dry
forces.
