The exact date Of discovery Of
gold IN the Little Rocky noun
tains Is not known. although L.
X. Devlin OF Havre, perhaps the
best authority ON early northern
Montana history in the state,
declares it is safe to say that
first mining operations were be-
gun in 1883 by Louis Meyers.
Meyers Is said to have been
camping in the mountains and
waiting for Granville Stuart and
his band OF vigilantes to leave
the vicinity Of the Missouri river
breaks. Meyers is reputed to have
picked up $500 In nuggets from
the bed Of Rock creek ana to
have done quite a bit Of placer
mining In the guIch.
