Up Granite mountain from Philips
burg leads one OF the most interest
ing Of MOntana's old trails. Tt Is a
quiet-enOugh trail now. One may
travel mp and down from PhMpsburg
TO the town Of Granite at the noun
tain's top and hack again and not
meet a soul. But time was when this
was q busy highway. IL was teem-
ing with life les entire length. Great
teams strained up the long grade,
laden with supplies for the thousands
o. people whose home YVES IN the pic-
turesque town, whose buildings found
resting places between the great
b0ulderB Of granite or else upon
shelves which were dug out Of che
mountain side-peOple whose living
depended upon the great silver mines
Of the mountain, the most wonderful
producers Of the white metal ever
known. Passenger c0nveyauces moved
more rapidly mp and down the won
deTfuI cid mountain, moved over
what was probably the finest noun
tain read In the whole west--a verit-
able boulevard for smOOthness and
constructed upon 3 grade which was
as easy rs possible when the attitudes
Of It's terminals are considered.
1t was an experience never 10 be for
gotten, to travel the old Granite noun
tain road in those days. It was
thoroughly busy, every foot Of 1t, and
It was busy for nearly every one Of the
"A hours which made up the day; some
times the folks wished for more hours;
it seemed impossible to crowd into the
allotted number the amount Of business
which had TO be done. Along the trail
ran the cable line, whose suspended
cars transported the silver ore from
the wonderful mines on the mountain
to the mills at the base Of the great,
old hill. Ceaseless was the movement
OF the endless line Of cars and down
below the great stamps beat incessant-
" upon the stream Of ore which pour
ed beneath them, hammering out the

wealth which the rock contained. II
was the greatest silver camp ON earth,
Maybe there have been nveIier towns
somewhere, than we're these two
Philipsburg and Granite-at the ends
OF the Granite mountain trail In the
DAYS when silver was monetary metal.
Maybe there have, but II there have
been, their names and locations are not
q matter Of record. It would be diff
ficult matter to convince anybody who
saw these camps In those days that
there could be any town hvelier. There
was no night in either town The day
was "A hours long. Every hour was
busy and the lights made the midnight
season as bright as midday. But there
was little disorder; the folks were AL
too busy.
OF necessity, a trail which connected
two such towns as these would, itself
be busy. And the road up the noun
tain fulfilled the law OF probability to
a nicely. 1t was mighty industrious
thoroughfare The decentralization OF
silver sapped the life blood Of the great
industry which made these towns what
they were. Almost within the span Of
a single day, these camps were trans
formed from hives OF industry INTO
deserted villages. It was one OF the
interesting experiences OF my Life that
was present during the exodus OF the
miners from Granite mountain; 1t was
a memorable event. There we're no.
vehicles enough to transport those VINO
wished to ride down the mountain and
many of them walked; trunks were pill
ed high upon great hayracks and ship
ped down to the railway station; there
were tears in good many eyes, Tor
GRANTEES people loved their town. But
1t Is not my purpose to describe further
or to discuss at all the dropping OF the
curtain upon the activities OF Granlte
mountain. This is TO be story OF the
man who made Granite mountain FAM
GUS, and who, incidentally, made a
whole bunch Of millionaireS.
When the history Of Montana is writ
ten, there should be a long chapter
given to the story Of Charles d. Nc
Lure He took millions out Of Mon
tana ground. A. large portion OF this
wealth went to make the famous St.
Louis group Of mfllionaires. Mr.. Nc
Lure retained some Of it. A vast slice
Of it went back into the development
OF the states mining industry and there
are many mills among the Montana
Rockies which are monuments TO the
c0garaee OF this remarkable man, many
hogsts which are testimonials to his
Aaraax. When he was confident that
fhere was ore 10 be found, he never
i1ee1knfed a minute 10 risk his all 10
flrsd e. In the face OF encouragement
fie became tins b0ldeT and more deter

country making ghostly record for sell
a grizzly bear, old enough 10 have
accumulated plenty OF knowledge Is
establishing somewhat Of q record as
a more or less harmless fnhabitanf
Of the Benchmark country, southwest
Of Augusta. In fact, his record Is be-
coming a bit tinged with the antics
commonly attributed TO ghosts. When
the fishing season first opened q
Great Falls angler was trying his
luck, accompanied by 3 water spaniel
The dog was chasing gOphers or
whatever IL Is that dogs are always
chasing, and the fisherman was fish
ing when the dog nearly upset the
angler by trying to hide behind his
legs.
The angler swore at the dog, then
happened to glance over his shoulder
and saw large grizzly slowly passing
down the road. Lacking a gun, the
angler forgaVe the dog and returned to
town TO tell Of big grizzly which had
little fear OF men or dogs.
Parties spending week-ends in cabins
In the Benchmark section found they
we're unable to keep garbage dumps
covered. One party covered garbage
dumps every night, to find the debris
scattered all about the yard the next
morning. Men with rifles kept
watch. But the men tired, slept and In
the morning found the grizzly had Wis
tied the garbage dump and left UNI
observed.
Recently woman member Of q cabin
party was awakened by noise on
screened window. A bright moon out
lined the head and shoulders OF the
Benchmark bear as he looked the party
over from his VaYtQca mint in fhe win
dow. His forepaws rested lightly on
the screen. AS the woman awakened
the rest of the party the grizzly dis
appeared. Investigation showed one
huge claw had broken the screen. A
muddy track on the windowsill showed
where the other paw rested.
The record being established by the
Benchmark bear leaves hunters with
mixed emotions, opinions and c0nsid-
cradle doubt. Some experienced hunt
ers say they would like to await cold
weather before trying for the pelt Of
the big fellow. They feel he should
not be shot now. They hope nobody
will have to kill the grizzly until his
oelt is good.
Some inexperienced nimrods are
'eady to shoot at the grizzly any time. |
The veterans advise they use heavy /
-if1e, in fact, the old timers counsel
several rifles If the hunters are novtces. /
A few think they would like TO be on a l
horse when the shooting starts All q /
horse needs Is one look at a grizzly
and the horse leaves for far away
places without urging.
Then, there are the folks who try
o keep sanitary camp, only to have
he grizzly scatter things all about the
,lace. They are considerably vexed.

one thousand eight hundred feet deep
is entered at the one thousand foot level
by tunnel three miles long. The great
ore body has shown no sign of exhaus-
ton; in its miles Of levels the great
mine yet holds vast bodies Of workable
ore The low price Of silver caused the
cessation Of operations at the mine;
water fills its depths TO the height Of
the drainage tunnel. Some day the
market may warrant the resumption Of
work here.
But always the Granite mountain and
the marvellous wealth It produced viii
remain as a monument to the man who
found it In the face of difficulties. he,
through his keen insight, contributed
to the wealth OF Montana more than
SIS, 600 ,000 His whole record Is Con-
structive; he has risked more than any
other mining man in Montana, but it
has been no haphazard risk; It has
been the venture of the far seeing man,
of the man who knows. Montana owes
much to Charles d. Mcclure, who first
saw her soil as q freighter and who
became one Of her greatest men.

MUNCIE, Jan. ga movement
to have the new White River boule-
ward in this city extended to York
town and Daleville and from there
to Anderson in gaining wide support
in all the communities concerned.
Such a project would provide wide

sert.
Much of the boulevard is already
completed here and SAL 900 has been

ency Relief Administration to carry
on the work to the city limits.
Meanwhile yorktown and Daleville

with the road work. This includes
Strengthening, cleaning and rebuild
