wa SO damp the owners finally gave
up operating it. Frank Wright, first
treasurer of Fergus county, worked
there during the eighties.
Castle was a camp which was not in
operation until the late eighties. 1t was
located in Castle buttes across the Little
Belt mountains from Judith basin. The
year 1889 was very dry and hay brought
a high price. Hearing that thece was a
big demand for it in the new mining
town, Thomas Murray and Joe Wan
derlin decided to haul two loads
through the gap and profit by high
prices.
Before he left, an enterprlsing Judith
basin woman told Tom, ASK what they
are paying for butter, Tom 1t may
be a good market"
After he sold his hay for Sis a ton
and was ready to sit down to supper at
the boarding house. he remembered his
promise and asked the cook, How
much are you paying for butter?"
Fifty cents a pound" replied the
cook, Whereupon che OF the boarders
already seated picked up the butter
dish and remarked, Mighty expensive
axle grease at so cents a pound"
LID 1tllldlh tiIC kOOh ~
such a point that he picked up a plate
and SHE'D it at the boarder, who replied
with a platter of salt pork. The cook
scored a goal with a wooden potato
masher but the boarder was only
knocked silly enough to send a sugar
bowl and a cup in the direction OF the
stove, behind which several noncom-
batants, including Murray, Wanderlin
and Jerome LeRight had taken refuge.
BY the time the battle was over, the
crockery was pretty evenly distributed
on both sides and the bcarder, who was
the doctor in the community, was busy
sewing a cash in his opponents head.
Mr.. Murray decided that it would be
better not to mention butter again in
Castle and the enterprising business
woman was forced to seek other mar
kets for her wares.
Castle was booming sc rapidly lum-
Der and hay were at a premium. Tom
and Joe decided to freight it into town
from Bridger canyon. They were caught
one dark night on a muddy stretch OF
mountain road half way between the
two places and decided that as they
met no one on the road all day, it
would be safe to leave their loaded
wagons there and camp for the night.
After unhitching their horses and lead
ing them down into the valley to Craze,
they spread their blankets or the
ground under their loads of lumber
and went to sleep.
They hardly dczed off when they
were awakened by the sound of voices
Two spring wagon loads of young men
and women bound for a dance, were
complaining because the road was

f~luential citizen Of Judith Basin and
Fergus counties, was n OF the anx-
ious miners who followed the Irish
man down his %toboggan slide. The
cook, said Tommy, was a Celestial, who
insisted on having his opium pipe every
evening after the chores for the day
were over and Tommy, himself, almost
became an addict from smelling second
hand fumes that floated to his room
directly over the kitchen. In recalling
this community, MI. Murray relates
that 1,500 men were employed in the
three mines and snoWslides frequently
rushed down the mountain in early
spring, sweeping away men and build
ings in its path and burying the little
town spread out at its foot.
Mines all around Butte we're IN a
somewhat precarious position during
the early eighties. Business men and
mine owners were nervous. Most OF
the old mines were worked for silver
for the first 300 or 400 feet and it was
playing pretty thin. Copper ore was
under the silver, but many did not
know it, and those who did know did
not bother about it because high cost OF
transportation in those days before the
railroads took u out OF cop
pei mining.
Marcus DAILY had not come yet. He
was still at Cottonwood, south Of Salt
Lake City. With the coming of the
railroads, copper began to lead in min
ing and copper made Butte. When sill
yer was demOnetized camps around
PhilipSburg were almost deserted.
Roads from the mines looked like rcfu-
gee roads in districts being evacuated
in France and the diggings never really
came back until manganese ore was
needed. There is much manganese in
the foothills around Philipsburg and
the mining camps took or a new lease
on life.
What the average "tenderfoot" does
not realize is that there are many ether
factors to be considered in making IL
mine pay besides just the fact that ore
is located in it. Size and slope Of the
vein, drainage, composition of the rock
and distance the ore has to be trans
ported are important matters. When

There is something fascinating to
the average person in piles OF vari-
cOlored rock, the black cavern which
leads into the side of the hill and
d~ilapidated, lopsided shacks which
bespeak the ghost Of a long
dead mine. Once people lived in those
houses. They went down into the
blackness of that cavern and brought
back the rich ore which meant COM
fort and security and home to some
and glitter and gayety and girls to
others. Get the old timers in Mon
tana, the men who came in by pony
and stagecOach in the seventies, to
talking about these ghost mines and
the old diggings suddenly come alive,
peopled with brawny, bearded miners,
brave in wide, flat hats, big buttpned
shirts and high boots.
Here and there are women, tall and
strong, doing, from necessity, a mans
work among men. In the mushroom
town are more women, tinseled crea-
lures, weak as the others are strong
and barkeepers and gamblers with
~broadcloth clothes and soft, white
hands. Old names come easily and
joyously to the lips of these old tim
ers-Spotted Horse and Castle, Big
Sheep and Granite Mountain, Copper
opolis and Cleopatra.
There was one interesting mining
community in Beaverhead county which
boosted almost as many names as the
prince of Wales, since it answered i'm
partially to Lion City, Trapper or Burnt
Pine. Glendale, where the smelter was,
lay at the foot of the mountain. Then,
to get to the mines, one climbed l,700
steps to the first one, called Big
Sheep, 200 steps more to Little Sheep,
and, if fate " the mine boss directed
one to work in the last mine, the
Cleopatra, he got along without steps
and climbed by NEAR of a rope ias-
tened with iron rings to the solid rocks
of the mountain. The ore was sent
down to the smelter by cars shaped
like boats and running on a sort OF
trolley. the filled car going down and
pulling up the empty one.
Once an Irishman, working a little

copper was first mined in Montana, ore
had to be sent to Wales to be smelted,
which cut the profit way down. Not
until 1892 vas copper metal made in
Montana.
A silver mine called the Algonquin
provided a good example of difficulties
that often made mining more expensive
than the metal warranted. This mine
was rich in manganese and silver Gre,
but as the shaft sank deeper the forma-
ton became very hard and the mine

way from the top, lost his balance and
slid the entire way down to the bottom,
where he ended with a bump against
the empty ore boat. Comrades up the
line breathlessly followed him down by
the safer and slower 1900 steps, ex-
pecting to find him crushed and life
less at the foot. He was sitting up,
sound and in his right mind and ours

Listeners to the Jumbo broad- casts over NBC-WEAF every Tues day night at 9:30 p. m, are get- ting more of the story which Ben Hecht and Charlie MacArthur wrote for the Jumbo" stage show than the persons who pay their way into the New York Hippo drome to see Billy Roses spec tacle. It seems that after they got through cutting the stage script to normal length, there were pages and pages of material left over. And on this reservoir the sponsor can draw weekly fer romantic lines for Gloria Grafton and Donald Nevis, comedy charac- ter stuff for Jimmy Durante, and serious problems for Arthur Sin- clair and w. J. Mccarthy, the last wto playing serious roles of rival .showmen. Of course, the radio audience misses the menagerie odors, but the sound effects men partially make up for that with animal noises. The stage show. however, has gone radio" the Hip lpodrome being so big that hanging and moveable suspension mikes have to be used so the gallery gods can hear the actors lines.
 These public address system mi- crophones are used for the benefit of the studio" audience on broad cast nights, the equipment being synchronized with the radio mikes" but the p. a. system is so adjusted that the amplification does not reach the NEG gadgets. The radio audience heard about half of the stage show before Jumbo" opened for cash cus- toners

Among the stars of the radio, screen and stage that MT. Cam has been professionally associated with are Mary Pickford, whom he presented on a national network in Toronto, Canada, in 1884: Rose Ho- bart, Ethel Barrymore and many others.
 
 This new type of radio
 brOadcasts Mir. Cam brings to
 Waterbury is the result of
 many years of concentrated
 study, years of experience in a
 field of successful personality
 development.
 MT. Cam, while in Waterbury, will be available for public ap- pearances at such civic organiza- tions as may desire to hear his message. His talk is interesting, inspiring, and instructive. You may communicate with him care of radio station WATR and there will be no charge whatsoever tor any appearances he makes.
 MT. Cam will be heard over

 ?. m. daily, beginning Sunday.
 Just ten years ago, in December 1925, Harry Reser and his orches- tra, the Eskimos, began a series of broadcasts that made his name a national byword. The series lasted for seven and a half consecutive years. Now after a lapse of two and a half years, Harry Reser and his Eskimos return to the airwaves, representing the same sponsor. The new series, which will begin on December q, will go on the air for a half-hour at 8 D. m. on Satur- days, over the Columbia Broadcast ing System. For those "old-timers" who used to enjoy Reser's music as 1t came through the old regener- ative or neutrodyne circuit, there will be enough of the unusual ReSer arrangements to bring back sentimental yearnings for the old goose-neck loud-speaker days. As a concession to the new generation of listeners, there will be an un- usual innovation in an electric or gan used in combination with Res CTS dance music. There will also be vocals by Lynne Gordon and Ernie Weber, while Harry Reser will again present hsi famous banjo specialities.
