NEW RIVERSIDE VEIN APPEARS PROMISING
 WILL BE WORKED

Work is continuing on the high grade ore discovery made recently on the Riverside prop erty and highly spectacular samples of unusually large size have been brought to town during the past week. Two pieces of the ore, one of which weighs 160 pounds, are on dis play at the Bank of Hyder. Both are almost solid masses of metal, showing massive to fine grained galena intermingled with stringers of steel galena and large patches and veins of chalcopyrite. The larger of the two shows scarcely more than a pound or two of rock.
 Recent samples of the ore gave assay returns of .28 OF. in gold, Fl per cent lead and over z per cent copper. The vein, which has been found to aver age two feet or more in width wherever exposed, is being mined in open cuts and the ore is sacked for shipment after slight sorting. A dozen or so tons have been handled so far and are expected to yield good returns from the shelter.
 The outlook for the vein is such that B. D. Haddon, local manager of the Hall interests, has been authorized by MT. E. K. Hall to continue develop ment for a time to determine more fully the extent and val ue of the deposit. A small crew of miners is now at work under the direction of Gus. Erickson.

WOODD|NE RETURNS FROM SHIPMENTS
 SHOW GOOD ORE

That some of the ore found in the Woodbine property carries
 excellent working values Is
 disclosed by returns from the two shipments sent to the Trail shelter several weeks ago.
 Returns from the shipments, each of which is said to have been taken from two distinct parts of the mine, gave respect i've values of $33.77 and $33.- 96 per ton, according to rep resentatives of the new direct crate, who are earnestly seek ing to determine the true facts regarding the property.
 The smelted samples are said to have been collected without selection of the ore and with the express idea of proving whether or not the mine con- tained commercial ore in quan- titles. Sample No. 1 gave, gold $28.88, silver $6.75, other val ues, $232. Returns from sam- pie No. ? gave ,gold $1.52, sill yer $32.24, other metals, 20 cents.
 While this does not prove the existence of ore in commercial quantities, the directors say it demonstrates beyond dispute that there is ore of real value in the mine. It is also said that there is 8 large tonnage of good ore available for ship ment and will be sent to smelt- CT as soon as transportation is available.
 The directors are now endeav- bring to refinance the propert and are also said to have re- quested the B. c. Mines De- partment to send one of its en- gineers to examine and report on the property. It is under stood that the request will be granted.

UNICORN STARTS
 DEVELOPMENT OF
 HIGH GRADE VEINS

John Hovland, president of the Unicorn Mines company, returned to town this week and reported that development activities are now we'll under way on the Unicorn property, adjoining the Big Missouri.
 New summer camps have been constructed and supplies, in- cluding 6 tons of mine and camp equipment, food and2OOO feet of lumber have been land- ed on the ground in readiness for the coming activities. Ac- tive development work was scheduled to start this week, with a small crew employed.
 MT. Hovland said it is the in- tention to devote most of the summer to tracing out the high grade veins known to exist on the property, as indications point to their being possible extensions of the rich veins To- cated on the Big Missouri.

many settlers and all of the land on
which Lewistown now stands was taken
up in that same year. Among the
original % families was that of Ben
Kline, who lives in Lewistown today.
Mr.. Kline remembers clearly the
events OF those early days. AS he talks
of them his eyes narrow and he looks
out across the houses of the city where
once he saw only the grass, the brush
and the swift creek running unchecked
down the open valley.
The original Morase home was not
the n which has just been torn down
at First avenue and Janeaux, said MI.
Kline. Paul originally built near
where the first postoffice was later put
up, across from the present George
Day place. The house at First and
Janeaux was put up some years later,
and it wasn't completed until the saw
mill was put up at Maiden.
A son and daughter of Morase are
still living in LewistoWn, and Mrs,
Morase died there last fall. The son
is Pete Morase, who is employed by
the Power Mercantile company. The
daughter is Mrs. Bertha Strange.
OF the original group Of settlers,
Mr.. Kline is the only n who held on
to his holdings down to the present
time. Only last week he sold his
ranch, which he homesteaded in May,
1879, and which lies about three miles
east OF LeWiStown. He is now living
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Madeline Morgan. His son, John, is
still on the old home ranch. Another
daughter is married and lives on a
stock ranch in the Little Rockies, and
there is a third daughter, Mrs. Carl
Lean, living down on FlatwilloW.
The cattle that Paul MOraSe saw on
the morning when he first came to
the Judith Basin, said Mr.. Kline, were
run by a man who later became COVER
nor, Brooks, who was at that time fore
man for T. c. Power.
Deer, antelope, elk and buffalo were
plentiful in those days, and a rancher
could often stand in his own doorway
and shoot q deer or an elk as they
came down to Spring creek to drink.
Mr.. Kline himself shot a buffalo in
that way, and its head can still be seen
out on the ranch.
Two OF the wOmen who came with
the % original families are still living
in LewiStOwn, Mr.. Kline said. One
Mrs. E. G. Berger and the other
Mrs. John Berger.
A man by the name of Conley was
the real founder of Lewistown, &C
cording to Mr.. Kline, and he began
to build the town about five or six
years after the first homestead was
taken up. This man Conley wanted
to give Ben Kline a lot, which would

MONTANA APPLES
FOR APPLE WEEK
GREAT NORTHERN WILL OBSERVE
ANNUAL APPLE WEEK SERV-
ING NORTHWEST FRUIT

National apple week is to be observed
this year from october 81 to November
7, inclusive, information obtained at
the Office of j. F. PewterS, assistant
general freight and passenger agent of
the Great Northern railwa reveals.
It's purpose is to increase the ever
growing popularity of the apple as a
food. Apples are produced generally
throughout the United States and a
goodly share are grown in the Wenat-
chez district of the state of Washing
ton.
In the annual crop estimate Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, a distinct line is drawn between
the total crop of the country and the
commercial crop. The total apple crop
for the United States for the past
season is estimated at 149, 000, 900 BUSH
els and the commercial crop at 89,OOO,-
900 bushels. Almost one-third OF the
commercial crop, about 5000, 900 BUSH
els, are Washington grown apples.
The Wenatchee district, one Of the
well known apple growing regions, will
have more than One-half Of the total
Washington crop. The Wenatchee dis
trict in Washington includes the We
natchee valley, Lake Chelan, mellow
valley, O~kdIlOBdIl valley dIlu ldIluS
along the Columbia river, altogether
As, 900 acres of bearing orchards.
Apples grown In the western part of
Montana also take a prominent part
in the total crop. The apple industry
in that section has rapidly grown in
the past few years as natural soil ad-
vantages produce a high grade fruit.
During national apple week, special
menus, advertising matter such as pla-
cards, booklets and other literature will
be used in ticket offices of the Great
Northern railway.

ever used in Montana and began to
mine by the old pick and shovel process.
Argonauts Start North
In 1861 the Stuarts had written
to their brother Thomas, who was in
Colorado, to come out here, as they
thought this a better and richer coun-
try than that, which opinion, by the
way, they have seen NJ reason to
change, and still adhere to. Thomas
showed this letter to manv friends of
his. and the result was hat quite q
number left there in the spring of 1862
for Deer Lodge.
The first of these, a party of IL,
arrived at Pioneer on June 20, and
among them was j. M. Bozeman, who
was murdered by Indians on the yell
lOWstOne in 1867, and after whom the
flourishing town of Bozeman was
named.
The party found good prospects on
a branch Of the BenetSee, or Gold
creek, as it now began to be called.
Other parties began to struggle in
from Pixies Peak and Utah. and about
June 20 Samuel T. Hauser. Frank LOU

number who came up on the steam

the way to Florence, in the Salmon
river mines, not having heard of the
discoveries at Gold creek, where. how
ever, many Of them stopped, and are

spected citizens of Montana.

fabulous quantities was discovered at

Discovery ON Gold Creek Started First Rush
Dredges to Finish Work Started by Early Day Miners

there became noised about among the
few mOuntaineerS, and in the spring
of 1856 a party, among whom were
Robert Hereford, late of Helena, John
Sanders, Bill Madison and one or two
others, were passing the Benetsee creek,
the place of Francois discovery, and
prospecting a little, found more gold
than had been obtained by Benetsee.
One piece weighed about ten cents,
and they gave it to old Captain Grant,
who used to show it up to the time of
his death in 1862, as the first piece of
gold found in the country.
Stuarts Make Find
The matter rested there until the
spring of 1853 when Thomas Adams,
Reese Anderson, E. H. Burr, John
H. Powell, James and Granville Stuart
searched for gold in that vicinity, and
found as high as 10 cents TO the pan.
But as they had no provisions (they
were living on wild meat straight, with
out salt) % tools, they could not &C
complish anything, especially as the
B~lackfeet stole four Of their horses and
70 harrassed them that they abandoned
the country for a time, returning, how
ever, in the fall of 1860, firm in the
faith that this was a rich gold country.
In the meantime. during the sum-
mer Of 1860, a mining enthusiast named
Henry Thomas, known later as Gold
Tom, began to prospect on Benetsee
creek, about one mile west of where
Pioneer City now stands. Almost In
aided he sank a shaft over 30 feet deep
in the glacial detritus along the creek,
getting a little gold all the way down.
He also washed some on the surface
