/ ago In Belgium In memory of "thG
apostle Of the Indians in Montana"
Looking at the statue as a boy, he
too, became fired with desire to 81
to America and follow in the footsteps
Of his illuStrious compatriot He ar
rived at st. Ignattus in 1890, and with
the exception Of four years as preSi-
dent of Gonzaga university in Spokane
and ii years with the Grow Indians
near Billings, he has been at the Flat
head mission ever since He has a
fluent command Of the Indian Ian
guage.
Established Mission
When De Smet arrived a'century ago
and was met by the advance guard Of
the Flatheads who had Travelled from
their Bitter Root valley-their original
home-he was so impressed by their
great need that he determined, then
and there, to return 70 ST. Louis for
more missionaries and lay brothers,
who would be needed in the work of
establishing a mission. Accordingly, he
remained only few days after cele-
brating the first mass in Montana,
and went back to headquarters. The
following year he returned, this time
pushing on to his original objective
the Bitter Root-where, with the help
of such men as Father Anthony Ra-
valli, he established the Stevensville
mission. In later years the F1athead
tribe was moved by the federal gov
eminent to its present home in a valley
that is bordered by the awe-inspiring
Mission mountains, and which has
since been known as the F1athead val
ley.
In his sermon, Father English said
in part:
IF ever there was a journey inspired
OF heaven, 1t was the pilgrimage of
1gnace and his companions; If ever
a people sought the kingdom of God
1t was these Indians of our mountains.
And if ever there was an answer to a
prayer, it was the black robe, Peter
De Smet, who received at point near
here a greeting similar to that of
LOaghaire to Patrick on the royal hill
of Tara, and of Ethelbert to Augustine
on the Kentish strand.
Born in Belgium at the height of
the power OF Napoleon, who conquered
Europe and imprisoned the pope, young

Three Flathead Indians Attend
DeSmet Centennial Rites

When pontifical mass was celebrated
recently in the Jefferson valley Ia
mark the Tooth anniversary of the first
mass said IN what Is now Montana
three Flathead Indians sat In front
OF the large gathering. They had come
70 nonor the memory OF Father Pierre
Jean De Smet, the man who first
brought the Christian religion to the
northern Rocky mountain region.

the towering Rockies as a background.

brated mass before rude cross such
as Father De Smet may have fashioned
for that first mass along the Jefferson

Indians Sought Cross
The great Jesuit came to Montana
at the repeated requests of the Selfish
or Flathead tribe of Indians. They had
heard of the Catholic religion from a
small band Of Iroquois who had ven
tured into the western country from
their native habitat in eastern Canada.
The Iroquois, whose leader was known
as Big Ignace." told the F1atheads
about the men who carry the cross"
who SAY the great prayer" who wear
the black robes" Referring to the mat
ter in his sermon, the Rev Michael
English said:
Gradually, these redmen, fired by
the zeal of Ignace, grew to believe that
this religion offered more consolation,
more strength than their own tribal
beliefs, and, at his suggestion, dele
cation was dispatched to st. Louis to
bring the black robes to this territory"
Sitting in front of the large gather
ing, occupying the only seats on the
grounds, were three representatives of
.he Flathead tribe. They had heard of

HECTIC HEYDAY
OF COPPEROPOLS
1T BEGAN WHEN MARCUS DAILY
PURCHASED MINING CLAIMS
THERE IN 1900
II Ended Three Years Later When
Adverse Conditions Closed Mines and
Boom Town Became Ghost Camp.

Hallway between MartinsdaIe
and White Sulphur Springs, the
Electric highway swings over the
divide that separates the head
waters of Smith river from the
North fork of the MusselshelI. APP
preaching from the west, one sees
the hills on either side of the road
pOcked and pitted with innumer-
able prospect holes. These gopher
holes" spill their red or yellow or
oxidixed black rubbIe, bearing wit
ness to the energy with which pros
pectors dug these barren hills for
copper.
Conspicuous to the left is the hoist
and dump of the old Northern Pacific
shaft, and Immediately below 1t is a
log cabin that marks the site Of the
original Copperopolis stage station.
Passing this, one must look quickly
backward and to the right to catch a
glimpse, through a gap in the hills,
OF the deserted new Copperopolis
whose heyday began in 1900. The town
of mile from the road, hidden from
1t by intervening knobs.
The mines Of Copperopolis were To-
Gated by j. e. Hall and his partner,
Hawkins, in 1866. They took out some
very rich ore, and sent it by pack
mules to the Missouri river, to be re-
shipped to Swansea, Wales, for smelt-
ing. This was the year before the
townsite of Butte was laid out to ac-
commodate its 500 inhabitants, and 10
years before the ultimate owner of
Copperopolis, Marcus DAILY, was sent
from Salt Lake City by the Walker
brothers to find good investment in
Butte. Hall made money on the copper
he shipped. How much is a question,
but enough to make him hold his
claims until 1900, when he sold them
for 81 800.
Up to 1900 there had been plenty Of
prospecting, and occasional shipping of
ore, but little significant DEVELOPMENT.
A John Blewitt worked for q year or
two in the late nineties, finding rich
ore. But Copperopolis was q thriving
stage station and little more. Stock
men were crowding into the Mussel-
shell valley for its sheltered range and
heavy winter feed, and there was con-
slant travel between the county seat,
White SULPHUR Springs, and the stage
stations to the east-Ma rtinsdale, Big
Timber, Winnec0ok. and Ubet.
In July, 1884, there was sufficient
stir In Copperopolis to justify Mary
Holiday In buying Eliza SCOTS hotel
and stage station, and paying $1,000
or it. She operated 1t for several years
