+ districts is certain.

Although Lawns will observe
his 10th birthday on March "a,
he retains his enthusiasm and
belief in the benefits to be real
lied through development Of the
mineral resources of the state.
At present as for years past he
is actively engaged in prospect
ing for and developing paying
mines.
"Yogo Bill" is one Of the sur
vivors Of the days when mining
rushes were frequent. He was
born in Holton, Me-, and when
16 years Of age was employed
ION the river" in Pennsylvania.
He later worked and was an ex-
pert log roller.
During the earlier years Of his
life, he was much interested in
racing and accompanied his
brother, the owner Of a string
of race horses, to Boston, Hail
fax and other places on the east
ern and Canadian racing circuits.
Lawlis came to Montana in
1886 and for six years rode the
range for the Benton-St. Louis
Cattle company. At odd times, he
drove freight teams in the area
between Fort Benton and Lewis
town.
The Yogo gulch mining district
had attracted attention as early
as 1879, and in 1892 Mr.. Lawlis
to Yogo. Since that time
ne has been prospecting in the
Yogo district, in the Little Belt
and Morhasin mountains.
when l went to Yogo," said
Lawlis, Jackie Hoover was still
there and it was he who really
discovered the Yogo sapphires.
Gold was discovered in the gulch
about 1879 and later the big
ditch was built for the plac-
err mining. It cost nearly $4o.-
O0O."
The digging of this ditch. ac-
cording to "Yogo Biz, really
led to the discovery Of the sap
phires, which were not known as
such at that time. however. To
the late Mathew Dunn Of Great
Falls was attributed the distinc-
ton Of first discovering that
the stone were really of value
and not merely pretty.
Milly Ringold, a colored nurse
who came from Fort Benton as
early as 1879, located at Yogo
and was there when Lawlis COM
menced work for the American
mine operated by Jack Burk and
Pat Sweeney.
In the days Of Yogo gulch's
greatest activity many pam
ned for gold. The sandbars were
small and the pay was small.
Still many miners retained their
faith in the district and contin-
ued operations.
The placer gold was on top Of
the bench this side Of the Toll
Gate hills. according to "Yogo
Bill" Quartz mining has been un-
der way for some time but opera
tions have been retarded by the

gave a number of interviews on
this plan. The upshot OF all this
is that at least 100000 people
have resorted to placer panning
for gold as a means OF livelihood
and are getting by. AT the time
appreciated that any blanket ap-
proval by the president might
be out OF line with his policy. But
the fact still remains that thous-
ands have resorted to this very
primitive method-using the cru
dest methods: the placer pan,
cradle, etc. It has served to
prove that the gold exists. The
Denver mint alone reports the
largest number of deposits in all
history and attributes the in
crease to placer mining. Keep
in mind the further fact that a
dollar in gold when minted ex-
pands conservativeiy to 90 dol
lars in our banking credit struc-
ture.

Increase in gold production
would stimulate business as
nothing else wOuld-just as it did
in ,'4s and '96, both worldwide

Canada has placed a ban on
the export of gold; so has South
Africa, Mexico, Chile etc, and a
premium of about Is to 20 per
cent on all gold mdnted. Peru
has adopted my grubstaking plan
as a government relief.

TURKEY BRANDING
OUTFITS FOR SALE
By County Agent E. c. Durdle

We have on hand at this time four
turkey branding outfits which we can
dispose of at $175. These are outfits
which were purchased by a party who
did not dispose of them and they have
been turned to us with the privilege OF
having the dies changed to correspond
to the system which we are using IN
this county for registering Of brands.
The regular price on these is 81 without
ink. Mr.. Clore, manufacturer OF these,
has agreed to change the dies so that
these can be disposed of at the above
figure.
Anyone interested in purchase OF
branding outfit for turkeys or poultry
should get in touch with the county
agent Immediately so that all instru-
ments can be returned to Mr.. Clore for
changing of dies, at one time. Two OF
these have already been sold this year.
Branded birds are much harder to dis
pose of and hence much less apt to be
stolen than unbranded birds. If inter-
ested, see your county agent hnmedl-
ately.
