/ fluentiai citizen Of Judith Basin and
Fergus counties, was one 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, Mr. Murray relates
that 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 were 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 800 or 400 feet and it wa8
playing pretty thin. Copper ore was
under the silver, but many did hot
know it, and those who did know did
not bother about 1t because high cost Of
transportation in those days before the
railroads took all the profit out Of cop
per 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 hack Until manganese ore was
needed. There is much manganese IN
the foothills around Philipsburg and
the mining camps took on new lease
on life
What the average "tenderfoot" does
not realize Is that there are many other |
factors to be considered In making a
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 fs something fascinating to
the average person In plies Of yarl-
cOlOred rock, the black cavern which
leads into the side Of the hill and
dElapidated, EOpsided shacks which
bespeak the ghost o. q long
dead mine. Once people lived In those
houses. They went down into the
biackness 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 20
others. Get the old timers In Mon

and stagecoach In the seventies, TO
talking about these ghost mines and
the old diggings suddenly come alive,
peOpIed with brawny, bearded miners,
brave In wide, flat hats, big buttOned
shirts and high boots.
Here and there are women, tall anc
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
boasted 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,

was 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. It was
4 located in Castle buttes across the Little
Belt mountains from Judith basin. The
year 1889 was very dry and hay brought
q high price. Hearing that there 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 enterprising Judith
basin woman told Tom, ASK what they
are paying for butter, Tom. 1t may
be good market"
After he sold his hay for S45 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 butter2"
Fifty cents pound" replied the
cook, whereupon one Of the boarders
already seated picked up the butter
dish and remarked, Mighty expensive
axle grease at so cents a pound"
This remark incensed the cook to
such a point that he picked up plate
and shied It at the boarder, who replied
with a platter Of salt pork The cook
scored q goal with a wooden potato
maSher but the boarder was only
knocked silly enough to send 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 b0nrder, who was
the doctor in the community was busy
sewing cash In his opponents head.
Mr.. Murray decided that 1t 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 BEiagar canyon. They were caught
one dark night on g muddy stretch OF
mountain road half way between the
two places and decided that as they
met no ona ON the road all day, it !
would be safe TO leave their loaded
wagons there and camp for the night. l
After tInhitching their horses and lead |
ing them down into the valley to Craze,
they spread their blankets on the
ground under their loads Of lumber
and went TO sleep.
They hardly doZed off when they /
were awakened by the sound of voices.

and women bound for q dance, were
