Fire, which destroyed four buildings
of Z0rtman's main street recently,
has virtually wiped out what was
once one Of the most prosperous and
notorious mining camps In the west.
Property belonging to Louis GoSlln
William Kern and several other persons
in Zortman was destroyed, leaving KEEL
lerman's general store, the post office
and q filling station practically the
only occupied buildings in the business
district. The fire is thought to have
hayStack in the rear of a restaurant
building. Men, women and children
fought the flames for an hour and a
half but the fire had gained so much
Roadway in the frame and log buildings
that the task of e~Xtinguishing it was
hopeless.
nevlin Made First Discovery
The history OF Zortman dates back
to about 1882 when L. K. Devltn OF
Havre Staked out a number OF mining
claims in the mountains. Because the
Indian reservation extended south OF
the Little Rockies at that time no de-
velOpment was done. However, after
the land was withdrawn from the res
ervation and, although by that time
Mr.. Devlin was occupied with other
business, he was instrumental IN send
ing Pete Zortman to the Little Rockies
where he discovered the Alder Gulch
pay dirt and founded the mining camp
of Zortman.
Shortly after locating what is now
Zortman, the man for whom 1t was
named discovered the Alabama mine.
Taking George Putnam, now OF Cali
fornia, into partnership, zortman Is
credited with extracting a fair fortune:
He sold the mine to E. w. King OF
Bozeman. King is reported to have
made a profit Of $25, 900 a month until
available ore was exhausted.
Charles Whitcomb, diSc0verer OF the
Ruby Gulch mine, two miles above
Zortman, opened up probably the rich
est mine in the district. The holdings
were afterward acquired by B. d.
Phillips, Coburn and Logan. The Sec
ond largest cyanide mill in the world
was erected and for a number Of years
heavily guarded wagons Of gold bricks
were freighted to Malta and Dodson,
so miles away, on the Great Northern
railway.
At Zortman then were some of the
bad men of that part Of the country.
The Curry brothers, with Kid Curry
as leader, made this their headquarters
and planned the holdup Of the Great
Northern train which Melted them a
fortune in gold.
The story is that old Pike Landusky,
who was SO tough that when q half
breeds bullet shattered his jawbone,
he became so enraged that he tore out
q section to which four teeth were at
tached and flung 1t on the floor, ranged
between Zortman and Landusky, using
q Winchester rife as a crutch. One
leg had been shot of in an alteration
with George Treat, q deputy from the
Great Falls district. Jew Jake" ran
his numerous and notorious saloons and
gambling joints at both Zortman and

entire heart of one mountain had been
blasted away and the ore put through
the mill. The expensive machinery
still lies about the mountain side and
a few old prospectors still work their
claims for wages, but zortman as a
mining camp has ceased to exist.
Mining men declare there is still
gold in the Little Rockies, but all avail
able ore has been taken and the deep
diggings are too expensive for the low
grade ore they yield. So Zortman has
become Of late years a center Of recre-
alton for the surrounding country side,
Located on the east side Of the Little
Rockies, 1t is ideally suited as a center
for camping parties and summer vaca-

ALL REGISTERED
VOTERS MAY VOTE
NO PROPERTY QUALIFICATIONS
REQUIRED TO VOTE ON PRO-
POSED ROAD BOND ISSUES
County Attorney of Powell County Is
sues Opinion as to Who is Entitled
to Vote Under Law Passed at 1929
Legislative Session.

All registered electors my vote on
proposals to bond q county for road
building purposes, according to an
opinion rendered by County Attorney
E. M. Kelley of Powell county in
connection with q proposal to bond
the county to complete the Yellow
stone trail there, securing through
bonds $50, 900 to match q like amount
to be furnished by the federal gov
eminent.
According to the opinion by Mr..
Kelley the constitution OF the state OF
Montana, In Sec. 2 of Article 8, pro-
videS that every person OF the age OF
q years or over, possessing certain
qualifications, shall be entitled to vote
at all general elections. These quail
f1cationS refer to citizenship and resi-
dence, or, In general, the qualifications
necessary for any person to vote at q
general election.
Sec. S, Article 10, provides that nc
county shall incur any liability or in
~debtednesS for any single purpose TIC
an excess of $4,000 dollars without the
approval of the electors thereof, vot-
ing at an election provided by law.
you will notice from these cOnstitu-
tional provisions" said Kelley, that
there Is no mention made OF any prop
erty test for voters, but the word cleo
tors alone Is used.
THE legislative session Of 1923 dis
regarded the constitutional provision
and passed q law which required q
property test for electors voting upon
any proposal to create or increase any
Indebtedness OF state. county or city
It was an open question whether this
law was constitutional.
For that reason, the legislature OF
1929 amended the 1923 law, leaving
out the words state and county there
by making the qualifications for cleo
tors on this question the same as pro-
vided for In the state constitution
Therefore, the county attorney holds
