MONTE CHRISTIE
MINE TO OPEN
COMPANY OF MONTANA AND Sc
ATTLE MEN FORMED TO WORK
PROPERTY NEAR HELENA
Silver, Lead and Gold Found In Ore
From Tunnels and Shafts; David
Kirby Was Original Discoverer; w. A.
Clark Interest Operated Under Lease.

For the purpose of operating the
Monte Christie mine in the Rimin
district 20 miles southwest of Helena,
the Monte Christie Mining company
has been organized by Seattle and
Montana people. The Monte Christie
was discovered about 80 r ago,
by the late David Kirby, pioneer
pr0spector and miner, who shipped
considerable ore from the property
to Anaconda and East Helena smell
tiers. Later. the w. A. Clark inter-
ests worked the mine under lease,
expanding about $3.50 in develop
ing the ground through a long tun-
mel, which will be the main working
adit of the new company.
During the work of Mr.. Kirby some
high grade ore was extracted from
a shaft high on the hill, samples as
saying as high as AS ounces of silver,
$500 in gold and Al per cent copper.
Silver, Gold, Copper
In the present tunnel a vein IL to
IA feet in width has been opened up,
and samples taken May 6 of this year
showed 80 ounces of silver, So in gold
and 81 per cent copper.
Another vein opened up in a shaft
gave returns of SIS ounces silver and
II per cent wet lead. This vein can
be reached by a croSscut from the
main tunnel and will be tapped within
Is feet by additional work.
A force of men will start by the first
of June or sooner, according to E. j.
Mo, former Montanan, now of Seattle,
who is one Of the moving spirits in
the enterprise. Mr.. Mo was formerly
vice president of the Scandinavian
American bank at Big Timber and
served as a member of the state legis-
lature from Sweet Grass county in 1919.
The directors of the new company
are Mr. Mo, Mrs. Helena K. Mo, a
daughter of Mr.. Kirby, the original
locator; John w. Bowling, mortician
OF Hamilton; William d. Wilson, Basin
mining man; F. C. jackson, Seattle
bond and mortgage broker; Robert
harrington, Seattle capitalist and j. D.
Taylor, Hamilton attorney at law.
In addition several Helena business
men will be interested in the company.

and all conditions and reached that
lofty pinnacle in the cattle world of
the northwest where he was king of
them all. He became a millionaire. He
was at one time the individual owner
OF more head of cattle than any other
person in the United States.
AS his other interests in
creased through investments in vari-
Gus enterprises, his hold upon the cat
tie industry lessened in order that he
might devote more of his time to new
fields Of financial endeavor. He on
tinued his range operations, however,
and was always recognized as a. au-
thority or the matter of feeding for
weight, shipping and marketing.
Contemporary to Wibaux was Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who in the early eigh-
ties established a cattle ranch on the
Little Missouri, where Marquis de
Mores was operating. The three CO.
operated in general in the way of Sc
curing marketing facilities and eX-
changed experiences, which in their
relation, brought about a close friend
ship that continued to the end of their
lives. Together during the early years
of the Montana Stockgrowers associa-
ton they attended the sessions in Miles
City, the memory of which is still fresh
in the minds of the Oldest inhabitants.
The trails taken by each of these men
led n to Africa, another to the presi-
dency of the United States and a third
to the position of the richest man in
the cattle business in the world. Mar
quis de Mores, following the collapse
OF his ventures in the cattle raising
and lacking enterprises that he en-
visioned both for Medora and Miles
City, returned to France, broken in
finance, and after a brief but stormy
career in his native country went on
to Africa where he made an attempt
to extend the sphere of French in
fuence but met death at the hands of
natives in an engagement in which he
made a stubborn resistance. He was
when he fought single-hand-
ed against about two score natives,
but succeeded in killing about a half
dozen before he expired. Theodore
Roosevelt, with his health improved,
went back to New York city where he
became an important city official, a
member of the state legislature and
subsequently governor. He later or
ganized the Rough Riders for service
in Cuba during the Spanish American
war and was subsequently elected
president.
Having made an investment in a
Miles City banking institution, Pierre
Wibaux divided his time between that
city and Wibaux. He fitted up rooms
in the real of the bank in which he
made his home and headquarters while
living in the former city.
Coming to the United States before
Montana was admitted to the union,
Wibaux took out his first n%aturaliza-
ton, or citizenship, papers in Bis

Before venturing too deeply into a
business in which he had no back
ground in training, young Wibaux de-
cided to go to the Chicago stockyards
and there study the practice of that
great market.
Establishing his first home in a dug
out on the banks Of Beaver creek, Wi
baux burrowed in, both in earnest in
his domicile and into the intricacies
of the new venture. Luxury and ease
lay behind him. In prospect, before
him lay the thorny path Of untried
experiences in a new field of endeavOr.
He made himself his own foreman as
he mastered the details of the COW bust
ness. He rode the range in summer
and in winter became his own cow
boy and hired man, bundled up in

Thirteen miles to the north Of his

Gated the little village known as Min

as Mcclellan. AS Mingusville, however,
it gained some notoriety, for it was a
rendezvous for venturesome cowhands.

citizen, who took his wife's baptismal

tana and became fast friends. Wibaux
followed cattle raising strictly and
succeeded beyond his fondest hopes,
while the marquis dreamed dreams of
a packing empire in the northwest and
saw his enterprises crumble from the
high pinnacle upon which he had set
them /.
1t was not the intention of young
Wibaux to migrate to the United States
when he was sent by his father to
England on q two years tour of the
manufacturing districts. He had COM
pleted a liberal and technical educa-
ton at the age of ID and served a
year in the French army, where habits
Of discipline and routine had been in
stilled into him. While in London he
came in contact with families who
had sen their sons to America, thence
to the open spaces of the west and
northwest where they were designated
as remittance men," From these
families he heard the glowing reports
sent back to the home folks. A new
vision rose before him. He was drawn
by the spirit of adventure. His ambi-
ton to make his mark in the world
was Q~uickened. The net result was that
young Wibaux decided to visit 1.-The
states" and see for himself at first
hand If there was any merit in the
stories he heard and If 1t was pos
sible that cattle could be transformed
into gold.
Family Is Amazed
CONSERVATION reigned in the Wibaux
family in Roubaix when he returned
and informed his father of his inten-
tons. Reluctantly, under the pres
sure Of youthful insistence, his father
yielded. He considered that $10,O 900
would be sufficient as q stake" for the
young man. 1t was q modest sum
compared with the millions invested in
the industry in the western region of
the states, yet it became the nucleus
OF n of the largest fortunes ever
brought under n management in
Montana
One day in the spring of 1888, young
Wibaux climbed down out of a car on
the Northern Pacific railroad and land
ed on the eastern edge of the state.
There was nothing much to attract his
attention but the consequences of the
surroundings seemed not to affect him.
He saw in the luxuriant grasses the
foundation Of an individual empire of
cattle. He visioned cattle grazing in
the valleys and on a thousand hills.

WRANGELL GETS HYDROPLANE
 LANDING PORT

JUNEAU - Hydroplane landing ports will be constructed at both Wrangell and Petersburg early this season, it was announced by High way Engineer R. J. Sommers. Agreements for the work to be done on cooperative basis between the two communities and the Terri tory have been completed.
 It is estimated that the landing facilities, exclusive of real property occupied, at each place will cost not to exceed $S,OOO. The projects will be done on contract which will be let after April 1, MT. Sommers said.
 Sites have been obtained at both places. At Petersburg the Cham Der of Commerce is now endeavor- ing to secure upland rights on the land adjacent to the water site. The landings will be completed late next spring and ready for use by planes for the summer.
 The ports will be similar to that at Ketchikan which is also a CO., operative project. The contract for the First City port was let some time ago for $7,OOO. The project is to be completed by April l.
 A permit for constructing the Ju- neau port has been issued by the War Department covering a site at Salmon Creek. However, no ac- tion toward construction has been taken yet by the municipal authori- ties.-Empire.

 AIR MAPS
SPEEDING UP PRODUCTION IS ES0EN HAL AEhUNAuIICS
 FAST GhUW1'h

The necessity tor specialized avi- atlon maps was promptly recog- nlzeu by pioneers pilots or the ar, anu tneIr proouctlon deiegated to the U. 5. Coast ana Geoaetlc Sur Vey unaer the air commerce act oI 1926. In setting forth rne program OI alrway mapping, Captain k. $. PatLon, director ot this bureau, whose annual report was recently received by the sentinel, stresses the need Tor more rapid progress to keep pace With the phenomInai growLn oI aviation.
 He states that this work IS be- ginning to show a trait common to other branches or Survey operations namely, that the bureau is con tronted Dy a constantly growing de- mand, so that US greatest possible progress fails snort of require ments. With the present force the current program oI aIrWay map ping will require many years for completion. The immediate needs Of aerial navigation, and it is un- thinkable that they will not in- crease greatly in the future, in- dicate that this program should be competed in the near future.
 The first strip map was issued June 27, 1927. Many more have been issued since. Both the strip and sectional maps are being con structed to the scale of 1:500,000, or about eight miles to the inch. The strip map covers an area 80 miles wide along the established airways, while sectional maps for general flying will cover an area 8 degrees north and south and 4 degrees east and west. The latter will embrace the whole United States in a series of S2 maps and should further stimulate the employment of airplanes for private use and the establishment of landing fields off of established routes.
 These maps specialized, for the observer, in rapidly moving plane is unable to study complex details. He must be able to orient himself very promptly and for that reason only the relative positions of prom inent topographic features along the route are emphasized.
 Railroad lines - one and two tracks, and electric - are empha- sized, since they cover rather direct routes. Streams and lakes are in- dicated. Symbols have also been standardized to readily identify transmission lines, main and secon- dary highways, miscellaneous land ing fields, flashing and revolving beacons, and the lightning facilities at the various fields.
