Writes Interesting Article Descriptive
of Activities on Libby
Creek.

Last week this newspaper told oj
valuable publicity to be given the Lib

and Mining Journal. Of Great Falls
The first of such articles appeared in
the Journal of October 8. and was as
follows
Libby Creek, tunbling mountain tor
rent whose golden laden gravels were
the scene OF one of Montana's most
frenzied early-day stampedes, is TO-DAY
witnessing revival Of activity which
dWarfs that of pioneer DAYS.
Operations today are conferred prin-
clpally along the creek from a point
. miles south Of Libby to near the
headWaters at Howard lake.
Several companies are operating in
this district using both draglines and
hydraulics for moving the gravels into
the sluice boxes. Of most interest be-
cause OF its magnitude is the operation
OF the Libby Creek Gold Mining Com
pany, headed by the Mann Welles in
terests of Chicago.
This group has taken over approxi-
mately nine miles of claims extend
ing downstream from Howard lake. as
sembled by H. c. Bolyard, Libby mcr-
chant and mining man.
Ownership of this long stretch of
ground, with water rights, has enabled
the company to lay out plans for or
Grating on scale surprising anything
ever before attempted in this district.
The company has literal mountains
OF gravel to work on, bench deposits
laid down by the creek at a time when
its bed was from 500 to 1900 feet above
its present level
Practically all of this ground is said
to show values which will paw well
tor working with modern methods.
Enrichment is said to have come
from huge dixie which crosses the
company's property near its upper end.
Veins radiating from this dyke, which
engineers declare is the mother Lode
OF the district carry rich values in adj
jacent mines, particularly in the Midas,
where a rich strike Of tungsten ore,
running more than $500 per ton, has
Just been made.
In connection with the hydraulicing
OF the bedrock and bench gravels along
the creek, the Mann Welles interests
are reported planning to lay bare the
dixie and adjacent veins for a thorough
test OF values, something hitherto inn
possible.

soul searching by every citizen Every
American should ask himself if he
is the kind of citizen he ought to be.
Is he careful in the performance of
his duty Is he doing all that he can
to assure the blessings of good gov.
ernment9
These questions come right home to
every citizen in Lincoln county. What
are we going to do soout it? Are we
going to stand for the right kind OF
government and are we going to sur
port for office the right kind of men,
Good government cannot be obtained
by putting in office the wrong kind
Of men?
1t the voter is to do his duty as a
patriotic citizen, then he must take
time to study the past history and
record not only of office holders who
are seeking recollection but Of every
man who seeks to be elected to pub
lie office. Know the man you are vot
ing for and what the prospects are FOR
his giving honest and efficient gov
eminent if placed in office. That is your
simple duty as an American citizen.
Think it over.

Urges All To
Help in Red Cross
Membership Drive
Organization Gave 5000 to Libby Relief
Last Winter-Flour and Clothing
Now Coming.

An appeal is made to Libby people
to respond as literally as possible to
the Red Cross roll call now in progress.
During the past year of need this or
ganization has been a real help to the
community. Last winter it donated
$500 to local relief work and it will
surely do its share again this year.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby Libby is to receive ship
men of Red Cross flour for the use Of
the needy. A consignment of clothing
is also to arrive in the near future.
This will consist OF underwear, stock
ings and cotton cloth such as outing
flannel and prints. All Of which will
be OF great assistance at this time.
1t is hoped that everyone who can
possibly do SO will contribute the cost
OF membership-s1OO Those wish
ing to join in this good work can leave
their dollar either with the Public
Drug Store, the X M Co. store, or the
Electric store.
The date of the roll call in Montana
and North Dakota this year is from
October 8 to November II. The date
was placed month earlier than is
usual because of the urgent need OF
relief funds in these two states.

Libby Marks Up
Another Victory
On Local GridirOn
Defeats Team from Columbia Falls
With 34-l4 Score-Meets Eureka
Next Saturday.
(Reported for the Tamarack)

tReported for the Tamarack)
Scoring in the first five minutes of
play and continuing to roll up the score
every quarter but the last, the Libby
steam-rollers rolled over Columbia
Falls for 81 points to win 34-14 on
the local gridiron last Saturday.
Due to the hard charging of the line
the ball carriers were able to make
yardage on practically every play. The
line men were down and making holes
for the hackfields to take the ball
through.
Columbia Falls scored on Libby dur
ing the second half.
One Of the highlights of the game
was bit of strategy Hith Martin and
Detjens walking the ball over the goal
line on trick play that completely
fooled the Columbia Falls team as they
are new to the game. Detjens began
talking about someone smuggling him
and Martin quick to take advantage
If the outburst said that Libby would
take Is yards for smuggling. Allen, Lib
by's center, then handed Martin the
ball and Martin walked over the goal
line with the entire Libby team fol-
lowing.
Vogt sent in the entire substitute
team at this time.
katarzy played heady game as
usual, being backed up by the passing
of Rusher and the hard driving of
Martin.
In the line the work Of Dutton as
guard was outstanding He has been
the most consistent line man Libby
has had this year. Hough, Hills and
Darlington also made a good percent
age Of Libby's tackles on defense.
Webb, Columbia Falls quarterback
and ball carrier most of the time,
played fast game for the Falls team.
The Columbia Falls team had lots of
pep and fight. Next year they promise
to be one OF the toughest teams in
the district.
The officiating was handled very
abbey by Aman of Bonners, referee;
Desonia, umpire; Davidson, head lines
man; and Hughes timekeeper.

RESULT PROMISING AT
VICTOR GOLD PROPERTY

Frank Windmeiser, who has con-
tract for tunnel driving at the Victor
property on Granite creek, states that
since striking the ore vein he has got
ten in several shots and the formation
is improving. The vein is growing soft
er and more moisture is showing in
which he considers a favorable in
dication.
Work has been hindered somewhat
by the scarcity of water but recent
rains have helped that situation. Re-
pairs to the power plant have also
caused delay.

It is the province of newspaper to

THE RICHEST SPOT ON EARTH

Mr. Ripley whose Bsieve It or Not" you doubtless read
in the morning Herald prints this little picture and under
meath it, The richest spot earth is 1 cubic feet of
space in the United States Treasury It contains 10000 gold
certificates Of the $4,000 denomination totaling $40OO
OO0"
In onehaf of small suitcase you could put these
pieces of yellow paper worth four hundred millions of dollars
an interesting thought
A more impressive thought however is this:
The value of paper printed by nation depends that
nations credit and on its power TO PROTECT ITSELF not
the color Of the paper the promises written it.
The Government writes on each Of these tenhousand
dollar bills its promise pay thousand dollars IN GOLD
and it will do it, while remains the American Government
of today.
It will it in spite of the fact that it has already issued
bonds for great deal gold than there is in all the
world to nothing Of yellow bills calling for hundreds Of
millions.
Everything depends on the countrys credit power to
yellow bonds when the others DUE its power to
inspire confidence in god certificates that it prints and
pays out.

the people had voted the Ad-

that the purpose is to reduce

This is the serious side of

The "share-the-Job"
Movement

A~VVVA4CAV
The plan of "Share-the
Job" is being pushed now;
which means that the man
with a job, whose wage has
been reduced more than
once, shal! divide the job
and the diminished income
with some jobless man. Owen
D. Young has just sought to
meet the charge that this
is a plan to shift the bur-
den of caring for the job
less from government and
philanthropy to the working
classes. He does not meet
it with a denial. He does
meet it with the claim that
employers funds, the funds
Of private charity, and pub
lie treasures have "reached
the full limit of their ca
pacity to respond"
But - without attacking
the Share-the-Job movement
the worker who once made
$40 a week and has been
reduced to $25-has he the
capacity to responds No
more than the others. But
there is no way to force the
individual to give more, and
the worker can be forced.
That is an ugly statement,
but a true one.
More and more we are
convinced that there was
stupid shortsightedness in
the failure to float a $5,-

years ago, before unemploy-
ment got beyond bounds.
