9O-Year-Old Livingston Resident One of First to
Discover Gold Ore Float i'm Cooke City Region

young city-a rail center, an agricul-
tural and livestock supply point, with
mining business flowing from the silver
mines at Castle, and with dreams of
wealth as the big brother of a rich
mining camp at Cooke.
In 1885, after all routes had been
looked over, and all other efforts to get
a railroad to Cooke had been exhausted,
Livingston men caused a bill to be in
troduced in congress to return to the
public domain that part of Yellowstone
park east of the Yellowstone river and
north of the Lamar river. BY taking
this region out of the park, they
reasoned, the most logical rail route
to Cooke would be available, and the
build.
The elimination bill passed the house
of representatives, and garbled infor-
nation of this caused a claim-locating
stampede into the Soda Butte section
of the park which was ShOrt-lived but
which caused the most unusual comedy
of errors and subsequent razzing of the
principals ever recorded in the annals
of the Rockies.
In the senate the bill failed of pas
sage, and dreams of a road to Cooke
received a permanently severe setback.
Through the years, however, the project
rose again and again, like the phoenix
of old, from the ashes of previous fail
ures. There were new surveys, new pro-
motional schemes, and new hopes in
the breasts of those who still chung to
their claims and their dreams of Cooke.
Men began to grow discouraged, and
left. Others became discouraged, and
couldn't leave; they managed to exc
out a living some way, and their only
hope was that some day the lucky hole
card would turn and they would gather
in their pot of gold. Men died clinging
to their claims and a belief that their
tunnels would reach the pay streak,
perhaps next week.
! Then came the depression, and after
a while the revaluation of gold. Gold
mining began to boom in e locations,
and old, abandoned thought-to-be,
worked out mines were rejuvenated.
Ores that had been a total loss
might o prove themselves profitable
through new mining technique. Any
way, men were willing to take a chance
again.

the vein that leads to riches and a
boom camp.
Again, improvements in or~e-treating
technique have made valuable many
prospects formerly given up as hope
less.
So the railroad promoters and the
mining magnates were not advertising
their findings. It might be that some
day somebody would draw the lucky
hole card in the poker game with
Mother Nature, and they'd all want to
get back into the game.
Whatever they may have known of
these Investigations, however, many
people still believed rich ore was to be
found at Cooke, and that it needed
only a railroad to start a boom that
would be followed by a long period of
profitable production. Some of them
hung on, believing a lode would be
found which would be so rich it would
force a railroad to come to them.
BY 1885 the main line of the Northern
Pacific SPAWNED the country from Du-
luth to the Pacific. The Yellowstone

Blaine's house. Their speed was &C
CELEBRATED by the flying fire brands
which struck them in the back and fell

When Feldberg and his crowd arrived
array Of householders out throwing
water upon their homes, outbuildings
and woodpiles. Most of the men were
at the scene of the fire downtown, but
women and children and a few men
were battling side by side to prevent
the fire from getting a start. Horses
were led to places of safety, and cows,
pigs and chickens were turned loose
to hustle for themselves.
Just as the firefighters thought that
victory was in their grasp, q tongue Of
flame shot from a pile of pitch pine
wood back of the Blaine home. The
wind had blown a burning firebrand
into it while the fighters were devoting
their efforts to the buildings. Now the
frantic efforts of Feldberg and his as
sistants were unavailing.

into the Blaine kitchen. There he gath

he could find, carried them out and

It was just what had been needed.
Feldberg herded everyone into bucket
brigades reaching from the nearest

ing caught fire, and water was thrown
onto the other houses to keep them
from catching. In that name the fire
was confined to those two buildings.
When the men who were battling

fire on the hill, q large part of them
left the firelines there, where fury Of
the fire was already largely exhausted,

there was out.

No great amount of gold has been
taken from Cooke as yet; perhaps in

many other towns just waiting for the

which vies with mining for first place
in the Cooke country.
The tourists have found Cooke.
