the advance advertisements of one
musical comedy gave rise to much grave
consideration, for it was rlmored that

Back In the sixties two old pros
pect0rs who had shared their
blankets through California TO
Colorado and mp 10 Alder GuEch
gave up placer mining and turned
their attention to quartz
In 1858 they struck lode about
miles north Of Pipestone which they
named the Minnie Wilson. The deposit
was q rich one, shown by the fact that
they shipped ore 10 Swansea, Wales, for
treatment.
They sank on the lode, as was COM
mon IN that day, to q depth Of 1876
feet 1t was slow work as neither was
possessed Of funds.
They had the prospector's proverbial
dislike of outsiders" and declined to
take in any one to back them finan-
cialiy They didn't need help"
The mine was producing enough for
their needs. They were brought up to
hard work. The idea of organizing a
company and putting others to work
never entered their heads. Everybody
worked. Why should not they?
Thus they progressed, running two
drifts from the shaft each about $50
feet long.
One day one partner was killed by
q blast. The other buried his associate
in a grave near their cabin and con-
tinued to pursue his uneventful way
until he finally died Of old age In 1889.
The two old men had attracted scant
attention in their later years and prac-
tically none when the mine became
strictly one-man proposition.
They had applied for a patent but
never had completed it, so, with the
death Of the last man the property
reverted TO the government.
Kid" Ogle, veteran Butte prospector,
was shopping about the Pipestone dis
trict some months ago and stumbled
on the shaft.
He looked it up, discovered its early
day record and acquainted himself
with its history. He filed a new Ioca-
ton, and now the old claim is under
lease to Ed Lahey and Fl. A. Shute,
who promise TO make a mine out Of It.
The shaft and drifts have caved
through the passage Of neglected
years "but we have the goods" said
Ogle, land the Minnie Wilson is going
back into production.

house, all Of one dreadful night, pour
ing buckets Of water over the shingles
as they were handed UP to her She
remembers that for days an ominous
sense Of foreboding had settled over
the town and that there had been
chalked on board sidewalks and store
buildings the symbol-"77." AS to the
significance Of the numbers she is un-
certain but she understood, as did the
outlaws, that the chalked TT" meant a
grim warning to them to leave. She
remembers the anxiety of that night
when forked tongues of fire from the
burning town shot up into the sky and
the outlaws, assembled under their
leader, John Chinook, out on their is
land, voiced their defiance Of law and
order with waiting, loaded guns. The
crisis had come A battle between Wig
ilantes and horse thieves seemed inn
minent. Then John Chinook was shot
and the outlaws, without a leader,
turned tail and fled. She remembers
wildly the thunder of hoofs on the
silent streets of Miles City that early
morning as the criminal band made
their escape, never to return.
After that peace and security settled
down upon the thriving little town.
With danger clouds dispersed some
thing of the first mad, joyous reckless
ness of youth went also. Our best
times lasted only q few years." Mrs.
Decker says, wistfully, then there were
changes as old friends left and new
ones came"
Changes which undoubtedly spelled
progress but which tinged the romance
IF the wild west with sobriety.

Discovery of deposits containing
small amounts Of platinum metals
and of nickel with incidental mem
tion Of the large chromite deposits
In the region northeast OF Yellow
stone park between the Yellow
stone and Clark Fork rivers is the
subject of a bulletin recently pub
iished by Montana bureau OF mines
and geology, according to an an
n0uncement by President Francis A.
Thomson Of Montana School of
Mines, director of the bureau.
This report represents a contrlbu-
ton from certain members Of the
Princeton university geologic group,
which Is making a notable addition to
knowledge of the geology OF the state
through its field work in the Beartooth-
AbSaroka area.
The publication is entitled THE
Saltwater Igneous Complex Of Nickel
and Platinum Group Metals" and was
written by Dr. Edward Sampson, A. l..
Rowland and j. w. Peoples. 1t COM

Ogy and copies may be obtained from
the bureau office at Butte by ren,itting

ALTHOUGH the nickel and platinum
deposits are practically devoid Of eco
nonic significance, according TO the
results reported Dy the princeton lieu
parties" President Thomson says, 1T
"a. however, possible that further in
tensive prospecting might uncover de-
posits containing greater amounts OF
nickel or platinum. The importance OF
fine chromium deposits is such that the
Montana bureau of mines and geology
sent q field party into the region last
summer to study the chromium belt
and q report on this important Mon
tana resource is now being prepared"
An unusual feature Of the Montana
deposits is that they are almost 1den-
teal with similar deposits in South
Africa. Similar geologic features OF the
Montana and African regions led the
eastern scientists to prospect for plat
mum and nickel The chromium oe-
posts have been well known for more
than 20 years. -.
FaiIure to mine Montana chromium
ores successfully Is due chiefly 70 Lack
Of knowledge Of the extent OF the de-
positg. coupled with EnetaIiurg1cal PROB
