Gent machinery such as the Hum
phreys corporation will install.
First operations in Adder gulch
were conducted entirely by hand
either by open cuts or by sinking
shafts to bedrock and then drifting
along the pay streak. The gold
bearing graveis were then hOisted
10 the surface and washed. This
form OF placer mining was In vogue
from the time OF the gold discovery
until the middle '70's. By that
time the richer portions, with few
exceptions, had been exhausted, and
II became necessary to use more Ell
ficient methods Of mining.
In connection with the early drift
mining done here, 1t might be said
that at one time the entire guleh
was supported by timbers, and that
Il was possible to enter the work
ings at virginia City and walk un-
foreground all of the way to Summit
CITY. Then at a later date, ex-
tensIve hydraulic and ground sluie-
ing operations were started and
these timbers were washed out OF
the ground.

Several OF Montana's great noun
tain ranges were Islands in that
sea which existed 50 long ago that
the first hard-shelled forms Of life
were just beginning. To the west
the sea was bounded by Idaho or
eastern washington; the eastern
shore lay somewhere along central
Montana. Among the mountain
ranges which were islands were the
Big Snowy, Big Belt, Little Belt,
Highood. Castle. Tobacco Root
Madison, Beartooth, and Absaroka-
For cons of time the sea waters

IMPORTED COPPER
SHOULD PAY TAXES

Every pound Of copper produced
in the United States accounts for
more than five cents a pound in
the way OF direct taxes, increased
collateral business, and the en-
pioyment, health, and happiness OF
those who depend upon 1t directly
or indirectly for a livelihood. There
is no reason why every pound OF
copper produced outside of the
United States should not make an
equal contribution when 1t crosses
our borders-an amount which is
only sufficient to equalize the diff
ference in cost due largely to the
maintenance of American stand
ards.

This latter move, officials said,
merely was precautionary

had been visiting for nearly d

The entire matter, the United

have convinced officials that the

Reuben Gomez Prado, one or

they believed he had no intention
to murder the president and thus
far have failed to discover any
