Moreover, MIR. Lands is no longer
an active miner. The adventurous
days of questing for gold ore are over
for him. He and Mrs. Lands are nV-

miles from Norris. Cold spring water
is piped from the mountain to their
house and to the fine garden which is
bringing Dick renewed fame. Below the

Of his life to the search for gold, and
what more could any one want?"
Once a ~prospector. though, always
a prospector, Dick to whom the west
owes so much, is watching, with alert
interest, the renewed activities all about
him, the re-opening and working Of old,
long-idle mines with modern equip
ment. He is convinced that the easy
days of mining are over forever, that
only by scientific methods a there
be a profit. However, the mining in
dustry, he says, is better in Montana
now than ever before because the men
who are coming in now are of a much
higher class, men who will help to
stabilize and build up the communities.
Dick has seen the towns of Norris and
Ennis grow from wild adolescence to
mature, sober. prosperous villages. He
knew Red Bluff in the days of its
boom, when it flourished, for a time,
out rivaling all other towns about. And
then he saw its decay and ultimate
death until it is now but q ghost town.

Dick make money soon for, back in
Pennsylvania, there was a girl waiting
for him, with utmost faith that he
would keep his promise to send for
her. And so, true to his creed that a
man al do whatever he makes up his
mind to do, Dick began panning that
gravel for gold. Handicapped by lack
OF capital he met and overcame one
obstacle. after another. He built a dam
for hydraulic water power and built
a flume. One night he was wakened
by a sudden, loud roaring. He got up to
investigate and found that his dam was
destroyed. letting a flood of water down
through the gulch. He had, it ap-
peared. intruded upon the rightfM do
main of a beaver, interfering with its
! labors, and the resentful animal had, in
turn, undone about all it had taken
Dick weeks to accomplish.
There anne a day, however, when he
struck a small piece of gravel, not more
gold dust. It was fate, Dick feels. He
found that small, isolated rich piece
just because he had to. 1t yielded him
$1,700 and he, of course, sent at once
for the girl back in PENNSYLVANIA.
He says today, with a CLINT of pride:
"a girl who would come from the east
out to the wilds of Montana, and trust
her life to a young, unsuccessful pros
pector had to be a real girl"
And she was, without doubt, a real
girl. He built a cabin for her, their
first home, high up in Hot Springs
gulch, near his mine. No trail led to
the little cabin. They had no neigh
bors. Norris, now a short half hours
drive by auto, was so far away she
didn't go much. But, Mrs. Lands as
sures you, she was happy, never lone
some. A son was born to them in the
solitude of that lonely gulch, and a
daughter, and Mrs. Lands was so busy,
so content, so confident of her hus-
bands ultimate success that she could
waste no time on self pity.
Although Dick had already made q
small fortune in the Magma Charta and
lost it, and had seen a vast fortune
slip through his fingers he wa not
heart, gamblers and therefore optimis-
tic. What he had done once he could
do again. That 81, ZOO which Dick Lam
dis panned from gravel simply because
he had to have money at once was his
one and only experience in gravel. From
] thence on he was a hard-rock man. The
hills all about the Galena mine are
still full of holes he dug. For nine years
he worked, never making the fortune
he was so confident he would make,
but always finding enough ore in q
month or two to keep him and his fam
lily in comfort the remainder of the
year, and to save a little capital for
speculation. He bought the Josephine
mine from Jake May. It ored, he says
about SIS per ton. Later he sold the
Josephine and bought the keystone
which he still WINS. The Keystone Is

he had made a big pile of money, all
of which he sunk into the Stuart mine.
Dick had staunch faith in that mine.
He felt that he was close on the trail of
a rich vein. But it took capital and
time to operate the diggings. He Dor
rowed money when the ore from the
Magma Charta was exhausted, put all
extent of about $50, 1000 into the Stuart.
And it wasn't enough. There came a
panicky day when his lease ran out
and he couldn't renew it. And just 10
days, although he didn't know that
then, stood between him and vast
wealth. A man named Clark took owe
his lease. Ten days later n Of the

was struck and Clark sold the mine

days, he reminds us, the streams were
full of big trout and the hills alive
with antelope and black-tail deer. He
tells an amusing story of his fishing
adventures. It seems that he wa hav-
ing better luck than any other of the
prospector-fishermen, pulling out big
trout and filling hearts with envy. P.
v. Jackson, another of the early-day
prospecors, was curious as to the magic
that brought about Dicks success. The
triumphant fisherman guarded his Sec
ret jealousy, but jackson was SO de-
termined to find it out that he resorted
to vile. He tracked Dick Lands, pa
tiently, cautiously, day after day, along
mountain streams, until, managing to
sneak close to him, behind cover Of
underground, his persistence vas re-
varded. For. wriggling at the end of
Dicks line, was a mouse. Field mice,
Dick assures you, makes the best of bait
for big trout.
During that first winter while Dick
was trudging hills and gulches about
Norris he got chummy with William
Parkinson. The two men fished to-

big talk of gold. Parkinson came into

life are inseparably intertwined. Dick
is famous for many things. He is n
of the oldest of the early-day pros
pectors. He is reputed to make the
best, lightest, whitest ~sourdough
bread any man ever ate. High up in
Hot Springs gulch where, As years
ago, he built a cabin for his bride, he
had a strawberry patch that would
make your mouth water. And he was
the locator and first Owner of the
famous Stuart mine which later sold
for the fabulous sum of $40, 000, 900.
Born In Pennsylvania, Dick came
west when he was 10 years old, with
no capital except youth and courage
and high hopes. He boasts with just
pride that in all his long, eventful life;
with all its ups and downs he worked
only seven months for wages. That
was when he first arrived in the big
unsettled west and CHANGED to land at
Hyram Kelly's cattle ranch near Chey-
enne, Wyo. He says, with a twinkle:
In those days there wasn't any dole.
A man couldn't beg and he couldn't go
or relief. He had to work or starve."
Dick applied for a job-just any job.

promptly replied: Eyes, I'm a good
cook"
For, he says, I knew I could make of
myself a good cook because there isn't
a thing a mar can't do if he just makes
up his mind to do it. And so the in
experienced lad Of 10 took the job as
cook for a big ranch. He put his en-
tire mind and heart into the work and
built up a reputation a. one Of the best
cooks in the west. He goes into detail
owe the three-decker pie he invented.
"A layer of crust in a deep pan,' he
explains, then a layer of berries, then
another layer of crust, and so on until
you get to the top. And did the Hyram
Kelly cowboys go for that pie when I
took it out of the oven!"
But Dicks ambitions scared higher
than the art of pie making. He had
ventured into the west because he
wanted to be a prospector. And so.
with a capital of $3.50 he had saved in
wages he struck out for himself. He
came up into Montana territory, where
already big gold strikes were exciting
attention and leased the Magma Charta
mine. He was lucky. In a short time

Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well Being to Unknown
Preparations

BEFORE you take any prepara-
II ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it - in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
Of headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin"
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

Conference Here.

Representatives of retailers in II

bis today had transmitted to Amer
lean Retail Federation headquarters
their views on state unemployment

under the Federal Social Security
Act.
TWo-day conference sponsored by
the federation closed yesterday at

ing an address by DR.. l. M. Rubi-
now, Cincinnati, social security au-
thority, who urged that good sense
must prevail for it frequently is

He explained that strict acturial
basis for unemployment insurance
legislation would be too theoretical
for practical use.
Suggestion that the federation
sponsor a social security survey in
Indiana similar to one made in Ohio
was approved by Gov. Mcnlutt. How
ever, he added, the same informa-
ton had been obtained by his
owne committee on governmental
economy.
