at a slight loss. Since July /,
there have been a total Of 574
purchases made by the Helena
office. In 1882, there were 243
and in 1881, ia, evidence Of the
Increased search for the glitter
ing metal in the hills or along
the creeks.
From Small Operations
The gold purchased comes
mainly from either placer claims
or diggings and has been either
PANIED or run through a stamp
mill. In the early days, previous
to the establishment Of the Can
adian mint large quantities from
Canada were shipped to Helena
but now the shipments come
mainly from Montana points.
In former years when the
wealth producing mines were OPP
Grating at full blast the deposits
were much heavier than those
now, when the average ap-
proximates s4OO, although the
greater percentage is much less.
When the gold is purchased it
is not kept in the vaults for any
length of time but is Immediately
shipped to Denver.
The gold received within the
last few years comes fiom all
parts of the state but particu-
Iarly in the mountainous regions.
Many shipments are received
from the vicinity Of Helena and
a great many from Virginia
City and points, in Madison
county.
Practically all OF the now IA
nous early day camps contribute
to some extent to the years total
purchases. Gold taken from the
mines along with copper, zinc
and silver is not purchased be-
cause Of the fact that it has not
been separated sufficiently from
The other metals and is not in a
pure state.

Old GOLD ca Fps OF
STATE LURE MINERS

Renewed activity in gold
operations in Montana during
the hast several months has
in mary instances conferred a.
round areas that caused or
followed the gold rush to the
territory in the sixties rec
Ords at the United States
land office at Great Falls,
show.
Since the time when discovery
of gold lured thousands into the
southern part of the state
and into Last Chance gulch at
Helena, approximately 1O.7OO sur
veys of placer lode claims have
been filed, according to the
Great Falls office records. Many
of these were patented.
Among the old records of the
office is survey No. 8, which was
filed in June, 1868. It covers the
Dexter lode in the Belt noun
tain mining district in Meagher
county, Montana territory. The
lode was claimed by the Dexter
Mining company and surveyed
by George B. Foote, United
States department surveyor. It
covered 5 6-1OO acres. The sur
vey shows that the surveyor gem
eral certified that $1,000 in
work had been done
on the lode claim.
Officials Of the Great Falls
office pointed out that the Mon
tana gulch, in which the Dexter
lode was located, was part of
the old Confederate gulch and
that during the last year activity
has been recorded in this same
district. While only 10 appli-
cations for mining patents were
made through the office at
Great Falls during 1892, they do
not cover any part Of the acti-
yity in the state. for patents are

The late Senator Walsh had
repeatedly blocked attempt at
ter attempt to abolish the Helena
and other western assay offices
and was successful in placing an
amendment to the bill when 1t
came up for approval in the
senate but 1t was not agreed to
bv the house. In addition to
the Helena office, those at Salt
Lake City, Carson City, New
and Boise, Idaho, also will be
abolished.
The assay office business has
practically doubled within the
last year, chiefly because OF the
depression. Miners and pros
pectors who in boom times find It
more profitable to work for
wages have taken to the hills or
the historic and pioneer places
digging in an effort to exc out
a living, hoping at the same time
for the proverbial strike.
Get Cash At Once
Now, when one Of these pros
pectors makes a little strike,
even though It is only two, three
or four ounces. he can send 1t
or bring it into the Helena assay
office and secure the cash for it
after it mas been assayed. Amy
amount above two ounces is ac-
ceptable and the records would
reveal many shipments for which
thousands of dollars were paid,
particularly when the Drumlum-
mon, the Bald Butte and other
big gold producers in the Marys-
vile district were operating.
From historic Alder gulch,
gold totaling hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars, taken out by the
Conrey Dredging company. has
been purchased in recent years.
The assay building in Helena
was erected in 1875, although
construction began Immediately
after the bill establishing the
office was approved by congress
in 1874.
Should the Helena office be
abolished, It would then be neces-
sary for the prospector or miner
to fix up his precious metal and
send it to the U. S. Mint at DEN J

fully checked each year to assure
their accuracy.
One of the earliest shipments
from the Helena office was re-
puted to have been a $4,000
gold brick which was exhibited
at the Philadelphia exposition n
1875, the first year in the Offices
history.
Sixty years ago, it is recalled
by old timers, a whole trainload
Of lead, silver and gold bullion
from the Wdcks smelter. estab-
lished by Territorial Governor
S. A. Hauser, was shipped East.
1t was the year the Northern Pa
cific completed it's line through
Montana and the occasion Of
historic celebration, according
to S. T. Hauser and George B.
Conway.
The first shipment Of bullion
from Montana by railroad was
two years previous to that time,
over the Utah Northern narrow
gauge railroad to Salt Lake from
the Hecla silver properties in
to Mr.. Conway. The Utah North
ern later became the Oregon Line

newing here again, SO years
after discovery Of gold In
tho Black HILLS, with the
prospect that more gold win
be taken from the streams
Of this district than dur
ing any previous year.
The rush began two years ago
when the creeks saw a return
OF the type OF miner who made
history in pioneer days with
pick and shovel. pan and sIulce
Men of this type made wages
with their limited equipment.
Then came others with vi
sion who brought dredges. steam
shovels and went to work on
large scale. Their huge steam
shovels bit into the earth, tear
ing up the gravel and rock, their
conveyors poured the material in-
to crushers, huge bowls washed
away the dross and finally a
sensitive part of the machin-
cry collected the gold and
proved to scoffers that there
Is still gold in them thar
hills"
The most extensive placering
operations have been around
Custer. on French Creek. where
Horatio Ross discovered gold
in 1874. The sands were found
to contain a good amount OF
gold and operators OF placer
mining outfits have found their
activities to be profitable. Last
summer three outfits were work
ing on the stream most of the
time and at times there we're
even more than than that.
Around keystone, too, the
placer miners are busy, altho no
large outfits have gone in there.
On Spring Creek, preparations
are under way for extensive op.
erations, and in the north OPP
orators are planning develop
ments at Mystic and at various
points in spearfish Canyon.

LACK OF SHELTER SPOILS
 SPOOFENDYKES' PICNIC PARTY

One nice, sunny day Mamma and Papa Spoofendyke decided to go on a picnic, so they piled little Johnny and their lunch in the old Model T and set out for the City Park. Soon they had coffee boiling, meat frying and everything just about in readi- ness for the "big spread. However, they had been so interested in pre- pairing the lunch that they failed to notice the little black clouds that had been gathering in the sky above, and just as they were sit ting down to eat, the rains de- scended from heaven and the floods came. The fire went out, the meat stopped frying, the coffee wouldn boil, the cake was all soggy-- and their dispositions were drenched! They piled into the Model T again and went speeding home-to cold house and no dinner Besides that, for the next week they were kept awake every night with Johnny's terrible cough. Then they were sorry they hadn't helped with the Food Sale that had been given to raise money to build shelter in the Park-and that's exactly the way YOU'LL feel if you don't come and buy something at the Food Sale to be given at 2:00 p. m., July 3, Tn the Wheeler Building.
 The Forestry Department has promised a dandy shelter cabin for picnickers with cement floor, good roof n everything, including fire place for cooking, if the materials are provided by the townspeople, and a group of girls have prom ised Charlie Moore, who is very much interested, that they will put on the Food Sale above mentioned.
 Besides helping furnish a shelter in the Park you'll be helping your self, too. You won't have to worry about cooking anything to lunch on' on the Fourth. Just come to the sale and buy a good supply of salad, beans, cake, pie, and dough nuts. Remember the Spoofendyke'

MAKING TRAILS

Probably the greatest blessing this country has enjoyed next to our public school system is our pub lie roads. It has Quickened indus try and has brought smaller towns near together.
 Smaller towns are much more prosperous than they were years ago. Local industries are being built up. There is a real back to the farm movement.
 Another benefit results from it. If smaller towns can have some of the recreations that cities have it works for the peace and quiet and prosperity of the small town. Families have pleasure in living there.
 A trail to Pats Creek would be point at issue. It would furnish an inducement for city people to build summer homes here. Such work as that would be very bene ficial to all Alaska, open up more of our beautiful places, and help the residents along the coast to appreciate more what is one of the most attractive places in our country.

Missing?

If you are among those who are trying to get along without tele- phone service, number of things are likely happening that may di- rectly influence the welfare of yourself and family.
 You are probably missing the pleasant, informal gatherings that are arranged by telephone. Or, if there are children in the home, they no doubt feel cut off from the happy contacts that the telephone affords.
 Being without a telephone also deprives you of the means of call ing the doctor quickly, or getting help in case of fire or other emer- gencies. In short, the home with out a telephone today is isolated.
