lake where they intended to fish.
They left their wives and Sonny
Campbell at Bridget Cove and r~"''
ised they would return in three
hours to pick them up if they found
the lake.
When they did not return by
Saturday night, their wives became
frantic, since that section is known
as bear" country. BY Sunday
noon they decided to dispatch Som
ny with a note asking for assist
ance in the search. The boy was
picked up on the road to Juneau
by DR.. William p. Blanton and DR..
G. c. Carter, who took the matter
up with u s. Commissioner Felix
Gray. The United States Commits
'sioner sanctioned the searching
party.
Frank Metcalf, local civil engin-
eer, organized the searching crew,
which consisted of Bud Dodson
Morris Tonsgard, Eric Schultz and
John Knutson.
AS the AAT plane landed near
Bridget Cove, they found the two
men reported lost, dirty and hun
CRY. They had, the searching party
learned, taken the turn to Echo
Cove instead of returning to Bridget
Cove and had to retrace their trip
Large groups of Juneauites fol-
lowed the progress of the search by
their short-wave radio. A dramatic
break in the plane broadcast came
from the time they were about to
land at Bridget Cove until they
returned to the air a few minutes
later. At that time it was learned
that Mrs. Knudson and Mrs. Camp
well were returning to Juneau with
Pilot Simmons and Eric Schultz and
Bud Dodson, while Tonsgard and
John Knutson remained with Herb
Knudson and Frank Campbell to
return on the boat.

Mclaughlin had been the first of
them to sell. In September, 1859, before
the mine had been fairly started, he
disposed of his one-SiXth interest for
$500. What sum Comstock received
for his share in the Ophir is not def
initely known, but it is supposed to
have been $4,000 or $4,000. He, too,
sold during the year 1859. ORiley hung
onto his interest longer than any of
the. original locators and eventually
realized $4,000 for his share and an
additional sum from back dividends.
Constock, after selling out, embarked
in the mercantile business at Carson
City, with branch establishments in
several other camps. He was untitled
for business. He was generous to fault
with his money and onyone who asked
for 1t was given credit in almost any,
amount. The result was that before
long he was left with a burden of
hopeless accounts. He went broke.
A short time before Comstock dis
posed Of his interests at Virginia City,
a stranger arrived in the camp, mar
ried man named Carter, accompanied
by his wife. To this woman ComstOck /
paid industrious court. One day the
two went TO Washoe valley and got
married, despite the fact that the woIn-
an already had one husband. At least

thought should have been his, then
turned his back upon that country. +.
He became convinced that he had
been wronged by designing men ana
always maintained that he had rights
and titles and claims and interests and
agreements which he could not main
tain because Of lack Of written proof.
It was in that frame Of mind that he
came to Montana and lived for 3 time
in Butte. Just how long he remained
there and where he lived and worked
is uncertain.
Broke and AfOOt
From there, however, 1t Is known
that he went to Wyoming, for it was at
Miners Delight on the Sweetwater In
Wyoming that he and three other men
Joined the remnants Of the Big Horn
expedition which was on its way back
to Montana. ComStock, who had been
working in a quartz mine, had no morse
and had to walk with the main body OF
the expedition.
Mounted members Of the party
ranged far and wide over the country
hunting and fishing.
One day Comstock's three partners
said they were going to ride on ahead
Of the party and do some fishing. Be-
fore they reached the stream they had
in mind, band OF Sioux Indians way

tinued on with the party until 1t ar

and man named Smith, started keep

Chinatown
once or twice Comstock started for
other points in the state, but each
time turned back to Bozeman before
he got very far on his way.
Picks Hole for Grave
One morning he stepped out OF the
log cabin where he and his friends
were living, walked to the hole in the
ground from which dirt had been taken
to cover the roof of the newly built
jail, got in it and blew out his brains
Judge A. D. Mcpherson, who was
walking down the street q short dis
tance away, heard the shot and looked
around to see ComStock fall into the
hole which was about three feet deep.
He had been standing up when he shot
himself.
The Judge and one Of the men from
Comstock's cabin ran to the dying
man. He was buried by the county.
During the latter years Of his life,
Comstock would hardly speak to any
one except to discuss mines and min
ing, and in such conversations his own
fancied wrongs and grievances were
the principal subject. Even with the
companions with whom he Travelled into
Bozeman, then a little settlement Of
about 40 cabins, he was taciturn and
reticent unless opportunity arose for
discussion Of his favorite subject.

in Bozeman, in the fall Of 1870. Before
doing so he jumped into a hole three
or four feet deep which had been dug
by workmen who used the dlrt 70 cover

Questions From Soop,hooters
Question: What film, stop opening,
and time should use when taking a
bietsre Of the surrounding country from
q mountain TOP? "A. b.
Answer: suggest that you try an
exposure of /25 second at stop f.22,
provided the sun is shining brightly.
Because of the atmospheric haze,
which tends to cause overexposure
and yelling over of the more distant
parts of the picture, it is often dd-
visable to place yellow filter over the
lens. If you use light yellow filter
and super sensitive panchromatic
film, you still should be able to get
good results by giving /25 at f.22.
But should you find you need more
exposure, you might try l/25 at f.l6.
If your camera has single lens, then
stop number 3 would correspond to
about f.22 and number 2 to f.l6.

cnating possibilities?
Lighted street scenes can be photo
graphed even with the most mex
pensive cameras - with little more
experience than it takes to make a
snapshot in broad sunlight. If the
pavements are wet, so much the bet
ter; interesting reflections will help
the photograph.
Such pictures, being fairly long
exposures, will not show any trace of
occasional passing persons or vehicles
providing they do not stop in the field
of vision and providing automobile
headlights do not shine directly into
the camera lens. If an automobile
comes toward the camera, close the
shutter or hold something dark over
the lens until the headlights have
passed. Be careful not to move the
camera.
The length of exposure will depend
on the quantity and quality of the
light on the scene. With stop f.8 (stop
