Observations of Mining Expert
Shows Cooke is 'Topsyturvydom'

one goes the inescapable word is
Nothing to SELL"
Let the Hollywood director seek
where he will among the hundreds
of old camps in the west and his
tory will show him that this con-
dition never existed before. Yet
this is a typical mining camp with
its ramshackle old buildings of
another day, log cabins, tents, sa-
looms, gambling and dance halls.
The single, broad street sweeps
up the valley of Soda Butte creek,
with silver mines on one side and
gold mines on the other.
Tie oldest operating company
in the district is. the Republic
Mining company on Republic
mountain, reputed to have taken
$4,000 profit from 1000 tons of
ore. The Little Daisy mine is re-
ported to be the bonanza location
of the camp, claiming ore running
$4,000 a ton, and having an old
stamp mill. The Atlantic and Pa
cific Oil company, belonging to
the John Hays Hammond inter-
ests, is operating 80 claims. The
Ell Dorado Syndicate, headed by
John Robertson of Denver, has 30
claims and is erecting a mill. The
Montalaska company, having 125
claims, is headed by George F.
Jimason, with whom are associat-
ed T. E. White and Robert X.
Staley of Casper. Walter McLaren
is operating extensive properties
Independently and has a new fifty
ton mill erected and will be ready
for operation before the end of
this month.
The Glengarry Mining company
operates ten claims and its ma
terial is said to be yielding $1,000
a ton. This property, under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of Harry Kam-
preth, is rumored to have been re-
Gently acquired by the Guggen-
helm interests. Ray Phebus of
Billings, has rs claims and is ac-
lively developing them. No state
ment of his values has been made
but it is significant that he is not
planning any recovery equipment
but will ship his ore to the smelter
in East Helena at a freight cost
of $40 a ton. The Irma mines
company owns the Republic group
of silver claims and it is claimed
that their ore runs 800 ounces OF
silver to the ton.
None of these companies have
set up any stock structures for fl
nancing. None have any claims tc
sell. All Of them are competing in
the stalking of new claims and in
the buying up of patented loca-
lions as fast as the owners can be
found and titles cleared.
In addition to the more import
ant operations mentioned, there
are many small holders working
open pit and placer properties.
Cooke has been handicapped by
its inaccessibility but this is being
rapidly remedied by the building
of a magnificent new highway
from Red Lodge, Mont, over the
mountains and down the Soda
Butte valley, passing through
Cooke and entering Yellow
stone park at its northeast cor
ner. This highway is completed
from Red Lodge, southwest of Bill
lings, OF the top of the mountains
at an altitude of 1000 feet. Be
tween the summit and Cooke rang
err station at the entrance to Vel
lowstone park, work is underway
and it is expected that the road
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1934-07-18

will be completed before the bad
weather begins in the fall.
The new highway will be one Of
the scenic marvels of the world,
the completed portion from Red
Lodge to the summit already pre-
senting views of mountains, gorges
and lakes probably unsurpassed
anywhere. The road is a magnifi-
cent piece of construction, sweep
ing upward by gentle grades and
around "hair-pin" turns, high
banked for speed and often 100 to
200 feet wide. Experienced driv-
ers claim that this road, when
completed, will be the safest, fast
est and most scenic mountain road
in the world.
1t is reported that one of the
great railway systems of the
northwest stands ready to build a
line into Cooke whenever the ton
mage produced justifies the work.
Surveys for this line have been
completed.
AT present, the nearest shipping
point to Cooke is Gardiner, Mont,
the north entrance to Yellowstone
park. Gardiner must be reached
by truck haul from Cooke to Cooke
ranger station over a road that Is
little more than a trail. A good
highway extends through the park
from Cooke ranger station, through
Mammoth, to Gardiner. Travel in
the opposite direction from Cooke
toward Red Lodge is made tenn
porarily difficult by the fact the
new highway is under construc-
ton between Cooke and the sum-
nit. In this stretch there is about
IA miles of very rough going.
The most intimate study of the
area around Cooke, known as the
New World mining district, was
made by T. S. Lowering for the
United States geological survey in
1929 and published as bulletin
811-A. 1t is an 87-page book, with
inserted maps and charts and re-
cords of the operations in this
area from 1868 up to a date short
ly prior to publication. This book
is too technical for the average
reader but may be had IN the pub
lie libraries or purchased from the
Superintendent of Documents, u,
S. Government Printing Office.
Washington, D. c., at soc per
copy.
The geological information in
the Lowering book is given in
great detail but much of the dis
cussion deals with metals and non
metallic minerals other than golc
and silver and relates frequently
to the efforts at lode mining, most
of which failed. Reference is also
made to the one stock promotion
in the history of Cooke, the So
called Western Smelling and Pow.
err company, of scandulous history
This concern built a huge smeltel

BY GEORGE VAIL STEEP


Editors Note: Mr.. Steep is
managing director of the Califor-
MIA Mining council, a clearing
house for western mines with Of
fices at New York City, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. For
some time he has been engaged in
making a thorough-going study of
the Cooke City region and his OBJ
servations are graphically set
set forth in the following article.
"Topsyturvydom and the New
Deal in Mining" would be the sort
of title given to a drama of the
New World mining district around
Cooke, Mont, if the story were
being written in Hollywood; and
some Of Hollywood's far-sighted
directors might well look at this
queer community at the northeast
corner of Yellowstone park for the
m~elodramatic factors for a real
western.
Gold is being taken out of the
Beartooth mountains around
Cooke, taken out in quantities
which make the casual observer
thrill in establishment, but the
strangest factor is not that gold
is being taken out, for gold has
been taken out in hundreds of
western camps, but in the fact
that gold is being taken out of
supposedly and apparently barren
rock and earth; taken out of shale
and limestone and tale which, by
all prior experience, should be alb
solutely sterile.
One claim, the former Melrose,
now called the Melissa, and be-
longing to Walter McLaren, of
Dayton, Ohio, over a continuous
shipping period of a year, showed
average smelter returns of $83 a
ton and that value was taken out
of materials that experienced min
ers have always thrown on the
dump. In fact, areas have been
ignored or abandoned solely be-
cause of the fact that this ma
terial appeared to predominant
Hundreds of claims in this area
show exactly the same formation
and assay values from a few dol
lars up to hundreds of dollars q
ton. The ownership of these claims
is widely distributed.
That is the reason that this
camp has been called "Topsy-
turvydom". Gold in great quaint
tiles is being found where no golo
ever before was supposed to be
And there are literally mountains
of this material around Cooke
subject to open-pit Or steam
shovel mining.
That is the first factor in th'
drama. The second factor, equal!
unusual, is a negative one. Cooke
is a typical, mining boom" camp
rough and primitive, and yet there
is not a single stock promoter, moi
a single claim trader, not a sigr
of a promotion scheme in the
whole area. Who ever heard tel
of such a condition around a boon
camp? Truly, the "New Deal" is
expressing itself in mining, fol
Cooke is a strictly development
camp, operated by the soberest
type of business men. Walter Nc
Laren, the most conspicuous oper'
ator in the area, is an ex-auditor
His principal associates are George
F. Jimason, formerly a surveyor
and T. E. White, a machinery
salesman. This is the type of mer
to be found from n end of the

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN
popular fiction is running more
4 and more these days to stories
of the early west when the Indians
were really killers and fighters.
Many publishers are coming out
with such stories and Bobbs Merrill
of indianapolis has added to this
type of story by publishing Green
horns Hunt" by G. M. Sublette.
1t sells for 50.
Although the chief character is
Dick Havenell who is just a youth
who went west from his home in
Kentucky, his companions as we'll
as his experiences are all adult.
"Greenhorn'S Hunt" is a story Of
adventure which connects history
with adventure. Havenell's green
horn experiences began in 1923 when
he ran away from home or rather
rode away to become a trapper with
Littlebary Jennings, a veteran trap
per and mountain man.
Mr.. Sublette is painStaking au-
thor who causes the reader to ride,
walk, run, fight, starve and feast as
the young greenhorn advances into
the great west and northwest.
The chiefs of warning Indian
tribes become men to be admired as
well as feared. The various charac-
teristics of different tribes have been
developed masterfully.
Another accomplishment of the
author is that he has captured the
unique expressions and dialog of
the many trappers and traders who
helped make history
1t is this realism of characterize
ton as well as of background which
makes this Sublette not only en-
crossing fiction but a splendid re-
cital of the experiences of real his
tory makers.
"Greenhorn's Hunt" exhibits many
appetizing menus of bison, deer and
old wild game, all created over a
camp fire. I know that many a
reader will smack his lips in hungry
anticipation at the description Of
some of these meals prepared by
Jennings.
This book will appeal to the young
man who is just becoming acquaint-
ed with the fascinating history of
the west and will appeal just as iu-
diligently to men of sixty and even
seventy.
Here is all-family reading.

Decision to take this step was reached after a series of con- ferences between Delegate Dimond and Colonel J. Carroll Cone, assist ant director of the Aeronautics Branch. Mir.

But this means state manufacture and sale direct to the consumer, which is form of state socialism which would be op- posed by both the drys and the capi- talists. Smuggling, they point out, will continue because many hard liquor and wine drinkers prefer im- ported brands So the game of mak- ing laws and the attempts at enforc- ing them go merrily on while the people wonder why promises of poli- ticians seldom become realities, why the laws do not work out as expect ed

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE

Are we not travelling in a vicious circle? The advocates of prohibition contended that an amendment to the Constitution would cause jails to empty On the contrary, in many places more people were sent to jail and the penitentiary than previous ly. Then the people were asked to repeal the 18th Amendment. It was argued that the amendment was destroying respect for all law; that the expense of enforcement was enormous; that the bootlegger was growing opulantly wealthy with no revenues to the Government.
 We'll, it is true that the Govern ment is collecting some revenues on alcoholic beverages; municipali- ties and states are doing likewise, but the bootlegger and smuggler continue business, and, it is stated. on a greater scale than before the repeal went into effect. The Coast Guard has increased it's fleet of yes sells and seaplanes to wage war on the rum runner, and the Internal Revenue Bureau has recently mobil- ized a liquor tax enforcement army of 1000.
 Yes, the Government is collecting revenue on intoxicating beverages but is paying a large part of it in salaries and other expenses. Legal ized liquor has made it easier for the bootlegger and disrespect for the law continues unahated
 The vets say that the cause of smuggling and bootlegging is due to the high tariff on hard liquors; that large profits are to be made by smuggling in liquor to avoid the

DIM0ND ASKS AUTHORIZATION
 PWA FUNDS FEDERAL WORKS

The Delegate is endeavoring to have inserted in the deficiency ap- propriation bill, now before the Senate, a statement authorizing the Public Works Administration to make grants for federal projects in Alaska. The object is to have as a matter of permanent record a dec- laration as to the willingness of Congress to have such grants made Failure to include the statement in the bill will not mean that grants cannot be made. It will merely serve notice on the PWA that such allotments are not contrary to con- gressional interpretation of the law under which the PWA operates.
