Early Day Publishers ''Hot News"
Centered On Battles With Indians

In the early days of Montana,
publishing a newspaper was not
without its difficulties, as will be
attested by some of the men who
have welded the editorial pen in
this state since the times of slow
rush order for ink or paper had
to be filled by stagecOach express,
perhaps after a Lapse of weeks.
The atmosphere of an old Montana
print shop clings to a letter which
was discovered in the office Of the
Deer Lodge Silver State, successor
to the New Northwest, one of the best
known of the pioneer Montana news
papers, which was founded and edited
for some years by Capt. James H.
Mills.
