quest that gripped them. About IL
years ago P. V. Jackson died, a CON-
paratively poor man, although the
Boaz mine, which he located in 1868,
the seventh patent in Montana, and one
of the oldest mines in the state, has
yielded vast wealth from its deep,
black nav. For many years lying idle,
the Boaz, under stimulus of the new
fever for gold, is being revoked.
Not far from the Boaz is another
mine, the Revenue. lowering over its
renewed activities is the glamour of the
tragedies of n mans lifetime Of hopes
and toll, triumphs and defeats. About
90 years ago a young man, his face
pale with triumph, went to Mr.. jack
son and tried to borrow money or to
raise it by selling ore. The mans
name was Alexander Norris, and he was
suffering with excitement. I've struck
It'll" he shouted. 1--WE got something
big. I've got to have money to develop
It'll" What a paradox that men, plod-
ding daily over sands glittering with
specks of gold, were continually baked
by lack OF money! Jackson refused to
lend capital to this trembling young
prospector.
well then, will you buy my ore?"
"Where did you get it?"
None of your business. Here's a
specimen. I can deliver one hundred
tons just like that"
Jackson examined the little chunks
of rock and said, quietly: I'll give
you S18 a ton for all you've got of that
stuff"
That day Alexander Norris began de-
livering ore to Jackson. He hauled the
rock with team and wagon. He worked
night and day. BY the end of a month
he had hauled one hundred tons and
received from P. v. Jackson $1,000. With
that capital he began operating the
claim he had staked-the Revenue
mine, which through later years, has
given out a fortune. But a few years
ago Alexander Norris died, an old,
friendless, poor man, at Warm Springs,
Mont.
Then there is the Red Bluff mine
which, since 1872, has produced $2,000,-
600 in ore and sand, but the man who
located that rich find did not reap its
wealth. For many years the Red Bluff
had lain dormant. Across the mouth
of it stretches a long, high ridge, built
up Of the waste ore, the "tailings." To-
day men are working over that ridge
of waste, and, with new, scientific
methods of extracting gold dust, are
squeezing from the carelessly tossed
aside debris another small fortune, to
the extent of about SIS per ton.

tBy GLENDOLIN DAMON WAGNER)
Cuddled among the foothills OF
Montana between the Tobacco Root
and Madison ranges is the little old
town OF Norris, which boosts a gen.
eral store, hotel, two filling stations,
the justly famed Morris Club" and
about 200 inhabitants. 1t is the CEN
ter of a region rich in gold ore and
stock. Much wealth in gold and i'm
sheep and cattle goes from the little
town to the outside world.
In days past men talked and bargain
ed, bought and sold, in terms of gold
dust. Daily, grim-faced, dust-grimmed
prospectors came into Norris from
lonely hills, bought enough grub to
last for months, flung a sack of gold
dust across the counter In payment
Of their purchases, and stalked back
into the solitudes, where they probed
with pick and shovel deep into the
mystery Of the hills, or squatted beside
little streams of water patiently shak-
ing pans of gravel, watching continual
ly, hopefully, for the tiny, shiny, yell
low specks that meant wealth, and,
more than wealth, the triumph of a
lifetime. Some of those tight-lipped
men might, in time, return to Norris
beaten, some with a fortune in dull
chunks of rock, and some might never
return at all.
Few Of the prospectors who devoted
a lifetime to the search for gold were
greedy for money. Few of them would
have valued wealth if it had come their
way. 1t was the thrill of the search,
the sporting chance, the challenge of
the silent mystery Of the hills that pos
seSsed them above all other considera-
tions. And very few of the determined
men who did find the elusive yellow
metal that has ruled the world benefit
ed directly from their discoveries. AL
most invariably they bungled, playing
always for higher and higher stakes,
Fortunes slipped through their fingers
and other men reaped the harvest of
their years Of lonely. ~gruelling toll.
Sixty years ago, the soil OF the hills
and gulches all about Norris fairly ooz-
ed gold. The bleak, sun-baked valley
between the Madison and Tobacco Root
ranges held power within its breast.
In 1864, the Hennepin Ore and Melt
ing company came out from the East to
locate and work diggings. They brought
with them, rs bookkeeper and ~assayist,
a young man named P. v. Jackson.
Young Peter Jackson vas a we'll edu-
Gated man, a university graduate. For
four years he and the Hennepin COM
pany struggled along with limited cap
ital and without results. When the
company finally admitted defeat its
young bookkeeper took leases as pay
ment for back salary. Those leases
CHANGED to include a little spot of
earth down in a gully between two
buttes, known today as the "Boaz
mine" 1t is said that the small hole
in the earth's surface yielded, at one
shot $3.50, 000. But P. v. Jackson. the
discoverer and first owner, a little,
spidery fellow" the old-timers recall,
never made or kept a fortune in gold.
Miners are, at heart, inveterate gambl-
ers. Frequently the wealth taken from

had slipped away from him. Today
Dick Lands and Mrs. Lands are liv-
ing in modest comfort on a ranch not
far from a piece Of gravel about nine
by 16 feet where once he took out $1700
at n digging. The exciting activity
of mining is over for Dick. He has
enough for their needs and what more
could any man desire? He is happy with
his cows, his chickens, his garden. He
can, whenever he chooses, pull trout
from the stream below their house for
their dinner. He is content now to look
on while others continue the mad quest
for the gold he helped locate.
This is the history of almost all the
early-day p~rospectors. They were the
trail blazers but others, following along
the smoothed trails, are reaping the

Little Rocky mountain country in the
nineties, was brought to the Allison

1t is an upright, made by the Baker

it for his ranch home and it was later
used in a saloon at Landusky.

The history of the famous Alder
gulch near Virginia City is an old, IA
miliar story. We know that non of
the men who were instrumental in 10
eating the richest vein in the west,
neither Fairweather nor Granville
Stuart, nor Anderson, filled their own
pockets with the vast wealth they OPP
ened up. Today, in Alder gulch, already
worked three times, a huge dredge, like
a monstrous prehistoric animal, is bit
ing deep into the "tailings" left by
early miners, and lifting, at one mouth
full, $500 pounds Of sand. There was
a time when Alder gulch yielded $25
worth of ore per yard. In those days
men toiled with pick, or panned gravel,
kneeling beside a stream, watching,
with an intensity of quivering hope we
can only imagine, for the bright, yellow
flecks glittering in the sand. Then,
with the crudest of mining equipment,
