Death, the inevitable. The death of the Rev.
James E. OBren in the very hospital to whose erection
he gave much time and energy in the days of his ad
ministration of the Immaculate Conception Church
must recall those happy days to many Waterburians.
Father O'Brien came to Waterbury just before the
turn of the century. In time he became the senior
member of trio of curates at the mother church. of
Waterbury whose popularity probably never ex-
ceeded We refer to Father O'Brien the Rev. James
BrOderick, now stationed in New Haven and the Rev.
Charles Brennan pastor of ST. Francis Xavier Church
in our city. :. Those were happy and peaceful
days in Waterbury-no rush, just horse and-buggy
days We recall the three priests well; many others
must entertain the kindly thoughts of them, too

Washington, Feb. 6 - The presi-
dents abrupt termination Of nego-
tiation toward pooling iva power
with the electricity Of the private
power companies should give you
some idea Of the type Of programs
which will be recommended by his
new, hand-picked national power
policy committee.
II something doesn't happen to
throw 1t off the track, this commit
tee and the administration may be
expected to work toward the day
when the country will be almost
blanketed by public power projects
modelled after the one in the Ten
nessee Valley. with little II any
compromise with private power COM
panies except such as might be
forced by decisions Of the supreme
court.
If the power policy committee
didn't decide for Roosevelt that the
iva pool negotiations should be
called of, 1t was at least In COM
plete agreement with him when the
president acted, citing the persis-
tency with which the industry had |
pressed Its court suits against iva.
More authorities"
The committee, under chairman
ship of Secretary Harold Ickes, will
concentrate for the time being on
policy for the big Bonneville project
in the northwest.
Eventually, according 10 those
who know its members most In
timatelly, there probably will be
authorities" handling Tennessee
Valley, Boulder Dam, Bonneville,
Missouri River, st. Lawrence,
Ohio Valley, and perhaps other big
federal power developments more
o. less covering the country.
An Ohio Valley Authority be-
comes daily more fixed idea with
Roosevelt and his power advisers,
who realize something must be
done toward flood control in that
area and, Of course, prefer to tie
1t In with power development.
Such program faces a hot fight,
not only with the power companies
but also with railroads, which will
SEE a menace In any improved navi-
CATION facilities. The same interests
m " be expected to try to beat the
proposed st. Lawrence NAVIGATION
power project when the president
begins to push 1t this year.
FDR's Big Idea
Bonneville will be selling power
by October, 1t Is now predicted, and
the NPPC will work out rates and
distribution policies. probably rec
oi..mcnding that the federal power
commission be temporarily empow-
e1ci to fix the rates.
The committees scope Is huge,
a 1t also CAL make decisions as to
what ought to be done about rates
and ether equally important prob
lens by iva and any other future
developments.
II the administration does push
with the program for q series
Of far flung regional federal pow
er authorities 1t will only be re-
verting to the original big idea
Roosevelt had in creating PWA.
That idea primarily was one Of
developing the river valleys.
Lew Douglas, then director of the
b 1get, persuaded Roosevelt to let
tn It ride and concentrate on NRA
as recovery weapon. BY the time
the president got his mind back on
pWA, there was too much pressure
for specific local projects to be re-
sisted. And money poured out
t -ough CWA and PWA and into
school, eswers, bridges, and court
houses instead Of into the original
6: and scheme.

No Army Operation

-'ublic power enthusiasts now are
whispering that decisions as to
cheap power are so important In de-
trimming the location OF INDUSTRIES
that the NPPC may soon effect be
workinf1 ou3 the industrial future
OF the nation.
Legislation to be introduced to
cover operation Of Bonneville will
almost certainly not call for OPP
Grafton by the army engineers, as
was proposed In bill pushed last
year by the foud senators from
Washington and Oregon.
After years of taking orders from
conservative administrations which
never desired to offend the private
power industry. the army engineers
a.e not held in high esteem by the
New Deal power group.

Geology

The geology Of the Cooke City district is
very interesting as there are exposures Of
some Of the Oldest rocks, archean limestone
Some very well preserved exposures are
found few miles north Of Cooke on Wolver-
inc Pass, west Of the Daisy Pass.
To get q better idea Of the formation one
must start at a point west Of Soda Butte
ranger station where the Lamar. river and
Soda Butte creek meet In the Yellowstone
national park and about is miles west OF
Cooke City.
Coming from the west and going toward
Cooke City, one Is confronted with the high
cliffs Of limestone, forming mountains Of
tremendous size. which seem like impossible
barriers This limestone Is mostly silictfied OF
tire limestone. Coming closer to Cooke, vol
canic intrusions are very apparent. Thess
intrusives are the source OF the mineral de-
posits in this region.
Entering Cooke on the north side Of the
valley there are Silver mountain and Miller
mountain, both mountains running north and
south and parallel to each other, with Sheep
creek running between them This creek emp
ties into Soda Butte at the entrance of Cooke
of limestone, in part bedded limestone as
on Silver mountain, or more or less broken
formation including cemented nmestone with
older lime boulders, forming a sort Of con-
giomerate lime which is the character Of the
GalIatin limestone on Miller mountain, there
is also found some mennonite and pink Cooke
granite These formations are present also
in the Silver mountain but not SO apparent
The ore deposits are chiefly silver-iead ore.

trails unprotected, and was the Indians

resented the coming OF the white man In
their land Crandall returned with the It'd
ings Of finding gold in the Big Shining noun
tains. as the country was then known.
II was arranged that he would 20 back
the next year and some other prosPectors
were to follow and meet him with supplies
at a defined point, which is known now as
Crandan Ground on Crandan creek, where
a bronze plaque on a granite boulder now
marks the resting place Of the brave pioneer
In the summer OF 1871 as Crandall had
gone ahead, Miller Henderson and others
followed to Join Crandan, but when they
reached the meeting place they found Gran
dali dead. HIS head had been scalped and cut
off. tin cup stuck in his mouth, and the
head stuck on a pick.
No sooner had Miller and his party buried
Crandall than the Indians attacked them.
They were good riflemen and managed to
stand them off and elude them, and came
through over the toughest country and the
steepest mountain peak in the district-Index
and Pilot Rock Peaks. over 1000 feet high,
and very barren, rugged granite rocks. They
finally reached the Soldiers post at what is
now Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone
park. The soldiers we're watching the Indians

who were in Yellowstone park. then an In.
dian territory.
Miller Operations

Shortly after. Miller and larger party
went back to Cooke district. as the tale had
spread that gold had been found. These
early miners started to work the placers for
gold and explored the hills and found some
very rich silver ore, as well as gold ore.
Then the Daisy Mine was located, the
Homestake Mine was opened and some ore
was rawhided to the camp then known as
Soda Butte. The mines on Miller mountain
we're opened by Miller himself, and some ore
shipped, but 1t was very expensive mining
as all the supplies had to be rawhided (packed
on horse back into the territory and from
a long way off. Mining methods were very
crude, and only extremely rich ore and free
gold from placers we're worked. However, In
1880 a small smelter was erected at Cooke,
the ruins OF which are stin seen, and silver
lead was smelted using charcoal, but even
then only high-grade was smelted and re-
duced to silver bullion This smelter was raid
ed twice by the Indians who wanted lead for
bullet making.
BY that time a column Of United States
cavalry came through on q punitive expe-
dition against the Crow and Shoshone In
dams. They stayed in Cooke for few days
patrolng the surrounding country in order to
clear any band Of rowing Indians.

James Cooke Arrives

Around 1886 q railroad builder named
James Cooke got interested In the mining
operations there, and he saw the rich fu-
ture Of the district. He Immediately planned
to connect 1t with a railroad. he even went
as far as to survey several ways to run
into Cooke. He backed Miller and others in
several enterprises. ore was mined and
shipped by wagons and teams. Then the de-
preston of 90 came, and the Cooke project
died out as Cooke lost all he had The town
was named after him
Later on in the early nineties q group Of
vrginians Of the Buffalo Gold Mining Co
started to develop the mines on Republic
mountain. and Miller mountain on
larger scale and with better equipment than
the early miners OF the district were able to
afford. modern smelter was built, with
crusher, sampling room, flux and ore bins,
large blast furnace. and later a low rack
rooster was added. This smelter, which stands
yet in good condition, produced large
amount Of silver-iead bullion, but as the
ore Of the Republic mine was getting higher
in zinc, troubles developed In the furnace
and finally the work was shut down. At that
time the Alma mine was not well developed.
but later 1t became a rich silver-lead mine
with low zinc content: In fact some OF this
ore contains no zinc
In the early days Miller smelted on rocks
in Miller gulch some rich lead ore. The
writer saw and dug some lead out OF the
flat rocks which formed the base OF this
crude furnace which was made OF rocks
and clay. The ore came from the Black War
rior and other mines on the northeast side
Of Miller mountain, and much Of that ore Is
Stin there, as the writer saw some OF 1t.
At present, ore which Is shipped from the
Republic group, from the Alma mine, Is
high-grade silver-lead ore.
AS 1t is explained further on, the mines
so far have been worked only for their best
grade Of ore. This applies to all types OF ores
there.
There is much development and many new
mines to be opened or old prospects to be
