MONTANA CITY
JUST SIGNBOARD

Maps Of Montana show upon the
Butte line Of the Great Northern rail-
way at point about seven miles south
east of Helena a station by the rather
imposing name of Montana City. In
spite Of the prominence thus given
the station the trains never stop there,
there are no depot or station buildings
and the only indication the traveller
sees Of a stopping point is signboard
bearing the name, Montana City"
Nothing in the immediate vicinity Of
the sign post appears to the eye Of
the traveller which would indicate the
proximity of a city, town or even a
hamlet. Not building is in sight
not stick Of timber which might sug-
gest that it was once part Of build
ing-nothing but the sign post, stretch
of serrated ground such as is common
where placer diggings once existed, and
the railroad track following the course
of Prickly Pear creek into the noun
tains.
Yet Montana City was once a town
of such promising importance that 1t
served for a short time as the first
county seat Of Jefferson county
1t was in 1862, before the discovery
of gold In Last Chance gulch which
resulted in the building Of the city Of
Helena, that gold was first discovered
where Montana City once stood but
stands no more. Histories of Montana
have very little to say about Montana
City for the reason that gold was not
found in any great quantities and the
deposits were soon worked out, but
from what little has been written Of
this operation it appears that gold was
found there in the middle of July, 1852.
A man whom history has known only
as Harlbert, one Of a party of proSpec-
tors who came up the Missouri river,
discovered the Prickly Pear diggtngs
at the point where Montana City was
afterwards built Harlbert was not very
popular with his fellow miners for the
reason that he had for q partner a
negro with whom he ate and slept, a
fact which greatly prejudiced him IN
the minds Of his fellow adventmers.
While 1t does not appear that there
was any great rush TO these diggings,
several hundred men were engaged for
q considerable time in working the
gravel along Prickly Pear creek, they
centering at the point where the town
Of Montana City was built.
Evidently the miners Of that locality
expected big things Of this district, as
a TOWNSHIP company was incorporated
and a townsite was laid out within
which many crude log and frame struc-
lures we're erected.

PICTURE OF RED MEN AS CALM
STOICAL, is SAID TO BE
IN ERROR
(By LUCY A. CURRANl


So much has been said about the
stoical calm and impassivity Of the
Indian that the average person I'M
familiar with Indian ways pictures him
going about with folded arms and a
stern brow, the way he always looks
in the movies. I have had the privi-
lege Of seeing our red brother unbend,
and can tell you that the Indian
can give himself up as unreservedly
to rOllicking good time as the mer-
riest OF his white brothers. The In
dams usually impassive demeanor Is
the shield Of a spirit almost abnor-
mally sensitive to ridicule.
I am going to tell you about an
Indian picnic I attended at Riverside
day school, near Brockton, Mont, on
the Fort Peck Indian reservation, In
August, 1918. These gatherings Of the
Indians are growing scarcer, as the
Indians join the whites in the national
holidays, fairs and celebrations of that
sort, and affairs such as this one,
planned and managed solely by and
for the Indians, will soon be merely
a matter of history
Variety Of Dress
Young Thomas BucleS, a half-breed,
who is secretary of the Indian Y. M.
c. A., had come to the newspaper Of
flee several days before, with a care
fully prepared program Of the picnic
and an order for $50 posters. Before
leaving, he gave me cordially polite
invitation to the festivities, so on the
appointed day a number Of us drove
out from Brockton.
The addresses given by Captain
Mushrat and Crazy Bull, we're over.
as was also the bali game. played be-
tween the Big Horn team and the
Poplar Indian team, and lunch was
just being served when we arrived.
I wish I could present adequately
to your imagination a true picture Of
that picnic ground. There was every
kind of q conveyance there, verify
believe, except the travels. Old rick
ETY. buckboards, with skinny pinto
ponies attached, old-fashioned car
riages, wagons drawn by big handsome
horses, and every variety of car, were
lined up on either side of the ground
laid out for the races and stunts Of
the afternoon.
And there was as great variety Of
dress as of equipages. Greasy rags
rubbed elbows with beaded buckskin,
and these in turn with as modish sum-
mer costumes as you might see at a
picnic anywhere, and over them all
was apparent a spirit Of hilarity and
good fellowship.
I heard Major Mossman, who was
then superintendent of the Fort Peck
complaining humorously

dained local preacher. They at once
built a church at Junction City. and
had regular preaching and Sunday
school. Brothers McCullock and Wis
ner were class leaders. 1t was there
I preached my first sermon in the
territory some time in July, 1854.
TN the winter of 1884 few mem
bers of the M. E. church in Virginia
City organized themselves into class
under the leadership of Brother VIII
liam Florkey for the purpose Of hold
ing prayer and class meetings. This
organization was kept up until the
fall of 1854, when Brothers Haugh and
Mclaughlin arrived, having been sent
out by the missionary board to take
charge of the work.
In the summer of 1854 the first
permanent M. E. church Of Montana
was erected in Virginia City at a cost
of about 81 500 in gold. The same
was dedicated on November 6, 1854.
A collection of $704.50 was taken up
which freed the church from debt. On
November Is, 1864, the first M. e. Sun
day school was organized, and on the
fourth of December the parsonage was
completed
1.-THE church was regularly organized
on the 14th of November, 1854. There
were present A. M. Haugh, pastor; AS
sistant Mclaughlin, local preachers
Florkey, Penberty and Lenny, and lay
men brothers Ritchie, McCulock, Knot,

to the two handsome breed women
who were offering him sandwiches and
cake brought from the bakery In Pop
lar, that they never offered him In
dian cookery. that he could get bakery
stuff any timel This, he repeated
to a group Of the older Indian women,
busy with their pemmican and stew,
brought forth appreciative cackles and
shrill, mirthful retorts IN their own
language. The majors ability 70 talk
to the Indians In their own language
must have helped greatly to make him
popular with his charges. and popular
he certainly seemed to be. He joined
heartily in the sports, and was in
constant demand.
Many Interesting Contests
Promptly at l o'clock the afternoon
program began. There we're the usual
foot and horse races, keg roping
contest, in which a number Of young
men on horseback rode at a gallop
past a keg, casting their rope as they
swept by. II is no easy task to rope
a keg, It's shape making It very hard
TO rope tight enough to hold, and the
boys displayed considerable skill.
During this time had been busy
with my little camera, and found
that while the men we're always ready
to pose, the squaws objected seriously
when I pointed the kodak In their
direction-one dandy group, seated on
the grass, throwing themselves for
ward on their faces just as got them
nicely in focus. Another squaw. with
a baby on her back. turned her back
when she saw me getting ready 10
Shoot" thus giving me a splendid
view Of her baby.
