The Well Child
BY LUCIA MALLORY

How is Tommy, Mrs. Weston?"
asked friend whose little son had
been i'll for several months.
Tommy is doing very we'll, Miss
Mallory" my friend replied. land the
other children are better, too"
Have the other children been ill?"
I hastened to inquire. I'm sorry I
hadn't heard"
Perhaps you wouldn't call their
plight Illness" Mrs. Weston explained,
smiling at my bewilderment 1.-THE other
children have been suffering from lack
of mothers attention. Since I found
that out week ago, Tommy has made
more improvement than in any of the
weeks that lowered by his bedside
with such anxious care"
That's good news, Mrs. Weston. I
felt sure Tommy must be better or you
wouldn't be here" We had been seated
together at club meeting and were
chatting during the refreshment hour
Celia is with Tommy this evening, u
his mother answered. "She is old
enough to take care of her little BROTH
er and it is good for him to have a
change of nurses-good for me, too
to be away for little while, though I
have found it hard to realize that"
IT think you have done wonderfully
well in caring for Tommy through such
long Illness" I assured her.
'Of course I've tried to do my best, ~
Mrs. Weston answered, but now that
the child is convalescing, he needs less
attention and the other children need
more.
"One day last week I looked out Of
the window of Tommy's room to see a
boy who looked like little tramp
swinging on our back gate. His trous-
ers were torn, his hands appeared red
and cold, and his hair was long and
unkempt. Would you believe that I
wondered what child in our neighbour
hood could be so neglected until the
little fellow turned around and I saw
that I had been looking at my own
SOM
Vaguely I remembered that Lloyd
who is just two years older than
Tommy, had come in from school and
wanted to show me his spelling paper,
but had hurried him away, saying,
Run on out and play, so the house
will be quiet for Tommy"
Tears blinded my eyes as stumbled
to the door and called Lloyd into the
warm house.
II looked up at the clock. It was Sis
and Celia had not come home from
high school. With my new understand
ing thought that she had probably
stopped at the home of some friend
where all hghthearted good times
were not so relentlessly banished a:
they had been at our house.
II found out afterward that she hac
remained at school to practice fol
| play in which she had one of ths
leading parts. It had been long tint
since I had taken any interest II

passed since I had paid any attention

VIRGINIA CITY
BOOM DAYS MAY
STAGE REVIVAL
DUE TO MODERN OWNING ROD
ALDER GULCH MAY YIELD
MORE RICHES

A modern "divining rod" may lead
to 10th century boom revival Of gold
mining in Montana's historic Alder
gulch, where dust" worth more than
500 100000 has been wrung from the
earth since struggling party of pros
pectors panned the first patch Of
gravel May 26, 1868.
Alder gulch has been mined many
times-by the early prospectors, by
road agents who panned gulch gold
with siX-shooters. and by modern
dredging outfits.
All the miners have told the same
story: The rich diggings ended at a
certain point, vanishing apparently
into thin air.
For As years. however. biologists
have been dissatisfied with this ending.
The channel of the old creek bed. rich
in the precious metal, must be there.
G.. r. B. Elliott, Bozeman, geophysical
! engineer, recently reported discovery
Of the ''lost" bedrock channel.
Elliott's modern divining rod-a
super-sensitive potentiometer built at
Montana State college with the as
| sistance of Prof. A. Raymond Jordan
has enabled him, he reported to piece
together the complete history of Alder
gulch.
He said the "lost" channel eluded
searcherS because nature effectively
hid it by a volcanic eruption which
caused some four miles of the creek
bed to drop about 1000 feet.
Based on production from the previ-
ously known channel section of gold
valued at about S6.500,O00 per mile of
the channel for 10000, 900 years, Elliott
estimated the new discovery should
yield from slo,0OO,OO0 to s4O,0OO,O 900.
Elliott's theory will be tested by the
Alder Creek Mining Corp, which has
announced plans to drill test holes as
soon as the heavy spring snow runoff
has ended.
Alder gulch was the scene of Mon
tana's second early day gold rush. The
precious yellow metal was first found
in western Montana'S Deer Lodge val
ley in 1852 by Francois Finlay, Scotch
Indian peddler, but the first real
stampede was to Bannack, afterward
the territorial capital, in 1862.
Alder gulch first made news the
following year, when a party of pros
pectors enroute to the diggings at
Bannack was attacked by Indians, be-
came lost and took refuge in the gulch.
Noticing likely-looking gravel, these
prospectors-their names now yelled by
the passage of Unrestricted panning
and discovered what has since been
called the richest piece of ground for
Its size on the North American con-
tinent.
The gulch made national news when
Sidney Edgerton, first territorial gov
ernor OF Montana. sewed some of the
gold dust into the lining of his coat
and took it to Washington, where it
Jousted for newspaper space with the
latest news of the day from the war
between the states.
1t made headlines again when road
agents from Robbers Roost," now a
rotting landmark in Madison county,
"panned" gulch gold with six-guns
only to fall heir to vigilante-prepared
graves on Virginia City's boothill.
