Prehistoric Wrinkle Forces
Glacier Park Road Repairs

Because prehistoric pressure made
a prehistoric wrinkle in what had
been the bottom of prehistoric ocean,
It Will be necessary to line the east
highway as Glacier parks next major
road project, Supt. D. S. Libbey an
nounced recently
Plerclng mighty Piegan mountain for
4O5 feet so the scenic drive from st
Mary lake may reach Logan pass and
cross the continental divide, this tun-
mel has been remembered by tourists
since the highways opening in 1888 as
the place where it always rains"
Underground springs the tun-
mel. but beneath the surface of Piegan
mountain-have been finding their
way through the rocks and sending
a constant shower on the road. De-
llghtful 1t is on warm day for all
except those in open cars, but not
without its dangers.
That's where the prehistoric ocean
comes in. Ages ago. rocks that now
form Glaciers crags were deposited
as layers of mud by the sea that once
covered this part of the world. After
many OF these layers hardened into
rock. a terrific pressure wrinkled the
surface of the earth, throwing part
of that ancient ocean bottom up over
the adjacent land. In time, glaciers
carved IL INTO mountains.
To this very day layers of the an
Gent mud, now turned to rock, are
easily visible as colored stripes in the
sides of the mountains. But these lay
ers are not all precisely horizontal
Folds and faults have given them ir-
regular SlantS and cracks.
Just such an irregularity at the east
side tunnel allows the underground
springs to shower water on the road,
1t is not the water that falls on the
road that worries park engineers so
cracks between the rocks, expanding
and contracting as it freezes and thaws
in the cool weather months.
This present day pressure, the after
math of unbelievably intense preSSureS
in ages past, threatens to drop rocks
on the road if prompt action is not
taken TO protect the road.
Plans are for a $4,000 reinforced
concrete barrel. foot thick, within the
tunnel which will divert both the
water and any rocks which may be-

The exterior rough-hewn appearance
OF the tunnel will not be marred, as
the contour of the portal will obscure

at one small point, where masonary
of native rock will be necessary to OBJ
scure the outer end of the lining.
Funds have been allotted for the
project and it is anticipated that the
park will advertise for bids early in
the fall. Traffic will be maintained
during the construction period.
The west side tunnel, overlooking
Heavens peak, will probably never re-
quire lining. inasmuch as the rock
layers are sIanted. Keystone like, sc
they hold each other tightly in place
and there is no underground water
problem.

PLACER QUARTZ
PONY'S HISTORY
HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
TOWN DATES FROM PROS
PECTING DONE IN 1860
District Never Wed with Alder and
Last Chance Gu1ch as Placer Gold
Territory: Many Rich Properties
Were Developed There.

Although the Pony mining dis
trict in Madison county never WED
with Alder and Last Chance gulch-
es as placer gold territory, some of
the states most noted and richest
gold producing quartz properties
were developed there. Located in
the valley of Willow creek at the
foot at what is known as Mineral
hill, the town was named for Te-
cumseh Smith, pioneer prospector
and miner known far and wide
over Montana in the sixties as
PONY" Smith.
1t was in the booming placer mining
days OF Virginia City that Pony"
Smith wandered over the hills from
Alder gulch into the Willow creek
bottom, dug a hole just about where
the town of Pony now stands, found
some gold and staked a claim. He
didn't remain there at that time, how
ever, but in 1868 he returned with a
partner and started placer mining
where he had staked his ground on
the previous visit.
They found coarse gold and several
nuggets Of from So to S. in value and
the returns in general were such as
to encourage them to remain there
for several seasons before continuing
on to other fields. In the meantime
Pony" and Pony it remained even
after Pony Smith had left.
The first gold-bearing quartz was
found in the vicinity by George More
land in 1875 later embraced in the
rich Strawberry group of claims, IA
nous producing territory for many
years. Moreland sunk a hole IA feet
deep and uncovered a lead 10 feet wide
which ran an average of $50 to the
ton of free gold with streaks in 1t that
went as high as 81 900 ton.
At the time Of Moreland's discovery
there were numerous other quartz
claims being worked but none of them
had encountered the wealth that More
land laid bare His strike, however, in
tenSified the effort of the miners and
as soon as the news leaked out, brought
many others into the district. Just be-
low his claim, two partners, Walters
and Reynolds, had ground, a hillside
covered with float quartz from which
free gold could be pounded with a
mortar and pestle.
A short distance away two other
partners, Mccoy and EdmundSon, were
opening the Crystal lode on a two
foot crevice of rich ore. Rich ore was
opening on the extension of the Straw
berry owned by man named Robin
son. The Strawberry, Moreland's origi-
nal claim, was so named because More
land found on it a patch of luscious
strawberries. A half mile away, Kendall
and BoWles were operating on the Ned
lode And so the free gold bearing
quartz mines of Pony were developed
over territory which kept increasing
in size for several years.

We are driving too fast. Life is
like that these days, always crowd
ing on a little more speed. We start
of in the morning with rush. 1t is
rush for the bus. II is rush to the
office. It is rush through our work.
It is rush out to lunch. II is rush
through the afternoon. 1t is rush
home for dinner. It Is rush out TO
the movies. Il is rush to bed, to get
8 little sleep so as to be ready for
another day Of rush.
John Rush was touring the coun-
try. He was proud Of the number Of
miles he could cover in days
time. II think can make Denver by
six tonight" he declared ambitious
ly TO his wife, riding beside him as
they few along the highway.
On through the day they sped.
They shot through stupendOus noun
tain gaps. They crossed impressive
rivers. They rOared through mon
strous gorges. They dashed along
enhancing wales of unsurpassing
beauty. But all that John Rush saw
along his tour was the narrow rib
bon Of concrete along which he
flew.
John Rush thought he was tour
ing the country. He was only speed
ing,-and robbing himself of enjoy
ing the beauties of nature.
We often think we are living,
when we are only speeding.
Let's slow down a bit and see the
enhancing beauty and the marvellous
grandeur of life-espeeially since
we tour through life but once.
II we slow down sufficiently we
might see God and come to know
