Butte's Rise from From
tier Mining Camp to
Worlds Richest Cop
per City Due to Vision
and Courage of Early
Settlers.
RY WALTER I'D TAYLOR

BY WALTER ED TAYLOR
Virginia City was In the height
of its gold excitement in May, 1864,
when two pr0spect0rs left there,
heading westward In search OF
new b0nanza--One they might call
their own. These two hardy gold
seekers were G. o. Humphrey and
William Allison. g. o. Humphrey
was a native Of Todd county, KY,
and his family had migrated, a
few years before his birth, from
Charlottesville, Va. As boy
Humphrey heard much of the story
of Meriwether Lewis, a gentleman
Of Virginia and "The Lindbergh
of 1897"
Not so many years after Lewis pio'
neered the trail, Humphrey came weSl
and so it came about that May, 1854
saw him, in company with Allison, II
search Of a new place to dig gold
Virginia City was getting crowded. Lit
tie did either Of the men know thai
they were to discover THE Richest Hill
on Earth"-the most productive min
eral territory in America.
On the journey westward from Alder
Gulch, Humphrey and Allison passed
a landmark which had been noted by
Lewis and Clark So years earlier. 1t
was the Point of Rocks IN what is now
county. There the two pros
pectors swung north and followed the
Big Hole river until they reached a
point where the river emerges from a
big basin to the west. There they de-
serted the river and continued north

ward in the direction Of what is now
the city of Deer Lodge, but which was
known prior to 1864 as Spanish Fork,
then Cottonwood, and still later, La
Barge City. A few months before
Humphrey and Allison left Alder Gulch,
LaBarge City had embarked upon a
slight boom and the Deer Lodge Land
Co. had engaged Walter w. DeLacy to
plat the townsite.
Humphrey and Allison did not con-
finue toward Deer Lodge beyond what
is now the town of Silver Bow. There
they turned east toward the main
range of the Rockies, which doomed up
10 miles away, Riding their horses over
a rolling foothill country, they saw a
stream winding its way across the
flat floor of the mountain valley. This
stream is now known as Silver Bow
creek, thus named because it formed
an arc which glistened like silver in
the sun. History does not record
whether Humphrey and Allison or
some later explorers named the creek.
On a site believed TO have been what
is now the South Wyoming street dis
trict in Butte, the two proSpectors made
camp, began to prospect. After two
months of work they returned to Vir-
ginia City for supplies and perhaps
for bit of holiday in that then

Ferdy was the ball-hawk of the Catholic crowd, and was still un- begrimed by contact with the Florida sod when he started his run down the glory road.
 These vital statistics puff the linesmen quite 0 bit, but they were also more than usually cantankerous In other ways.

 Looking back on this second orange-squeezing adventure, which was witnessed by 0 crowd of some- thing like 10000 who obviously er- joyed the gridiron hangover from Q season long since patsed on the head up north, I note the men on both sides of tho boil were speeiai- ists.

But downfield the Catholic forwards lost the crispness of execution and this leads me to the subject of one Ray Hapes, c sophomore of the Ole Miss brigade.

'BAUCH WAS COAT. THEN HEUOOF3-2 VICTORY YBY T.C.U.
Bad Pass in End Zone Brought Safety - Man-
 tons Field Goal Won
By GEORGE KIRKsEx
United Press Stan COrrespondent)

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New Orleans, Jan. 2.-(UP)- Thumb back through the pages of football history and you1l never find a football game like Texas Chris tian's 3 to 2 victory over Louisiana State in the second annual Sugar Bowl game.
 Almost everything that can hap pen in a football game except . touchdown took place on the rain. soaked field of Tulane's Stadium as these two reckless, gambling southern teams thrilled 3B,000 spec- tators with their dramatic play. There was never 0 dull moment during the drab, rainy day. Sammy Baugh, Q pr. jekyll and Mfr. Hyde of the gridiron, was the leading actor in the New Years day post-season battle which en- thralled the rain. .drenched crowd with Q football circus that almost defles description.
 Goat to Hero
 All the scoring took place in two minutes of the second period, but the thrills were sprinkled through out 60 minutes of the game. In that span of time, Baugh, T.C.U.'s ie0-pound quarterback who was named on the United Press All- America team, was transformed from Q goat into Q hero.
 For the second time during the game, Baugh, violating one of the cardinal rules of quarterback play, exempted to pass from behind the goal line. He was driven almost back into the temporary bleacher seats in the end zone by two Loulsi. ana State linemen. He finally got rid of the ball just as he stepped out of the end zone, and 1t fell about eight yards away. It didn't even reach the goal line, and gave Louisiana State two points on Q safety. It was . stupid mistake which might have broken the hearts of whole team.
 |. But not of Baugh. Two minutes later he had directed his team into . position to kick Q field goal. Bill Grass, Louisiana State fullback, fumbied on his own 40-yard line, and Will Walls, T. 0. U.'s ie0- pound end from Little Rock, Ark, recovered the ball for the Horned Frogs.
 Surprlsel
 Here Hough crossed up the Louisl- ana state defense with an unex- pected aerial from Jimmy Lawrence, Horned F'rogg halfbaok, to Walls for . 23.yeard gain, placing the ball on L. s. us i7-yard line. Louisiana State stopped three T. Q. .. plays without gain, and then Baugh drop. ped back on his knee and held the ball while Taldon (Tilly) Manton, ieo-pound fullback, kicked Q perfect field goal.
 Baueh, who has won fame as the nations greatest passer, was the shining light of the spectacular game. fIe made the longest run of the day, 6 44.yard dash off tackle to L. g. U.s four line late in the fourth period. He amazed the crowd with his uncanny kicking of c heavy, water.logged ball, bunting l4 times for an average of 48 yards. On several occasions he drove L. g. U. deep in its own territory with beautiful placements out of bounds.
