tract with the county when
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher, a Republican with 13
years of county service, said he
would resign if Mr.. Briggs
stayed.
The affair also gave the
party's extreme right wing a
chance to attack DR.. Wilson,
who has displeased them by
several of his decisions on the
Council.
Organized Effort
DIR. Wilson, who ran as a
conservative and who says he
lis a conservative now no mat
ter what my opponents say"
added, this affair will tend to
get the RESPONSIBLE people of,
the party together"
He said the attacks and the
calls and letters were part of
an organized effort. These
people have claimed that the
left-wingers are a well-organ-
lied minority, and they operate
the same way" he said.
Mr.. Soul said he wrote the
newspaper column because "the
agitation against some party
members was putting the en-
tire political picture out of
focus"
Don r. Kendall, chairman of
the Republican State Central
Committee in Montgomery, said
the incident was "a difference
of opinion. with good faith on
both sides"
Chain Reaction Seen
He confirmed that the Coun-
cil's action had started a chain
reaction of criticism in Repub-
lican ranks, but mot a split
between Republican Council
men or anyone else" The af-
fair. he added, could lead to
greater unity among the ma
jority Of party members.
Council President John A.
Floyd. the man whose leader
ship was tested by the decision,
repeated his earlier statement
that "the matter is closed"
1t was Mr.. Floyd who was
instrumental In hiring Mr..
Briggs. He said earlier that he
opposed the firing decision.
Councilman John H. Hiser, a
Republican who was out Of
town when the vote was taken,
also said he was disturbed by
the action.

Site Offered
For County
Youth Center

The offer Of one acre for a
$250,000 youth center - the
first in Prince Georges County
is under "active" considera-
ton by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The site. valued at more
than 100000, was offered in
January by Herschel and Mar
vim Blumberg, brothers who are
building the $78 million new
Town Center on East-West
highway in Hyattsville next to
Prince Georges Plaza.
Since then, the planning
commission has met informal
ly with the Prince Georges
County Commissioners to dis
cuss the proposal. They re-
portedly reacted "favorably."
The Blumberg offer calls for
the one-acre donation with
provisions that work start
within two years and that the
design be approved by Edward
Durell Stone, architect of New
Town Center and the yet-to-
be-built National Cultural Gen.
ter.
Park and planning set aside
100000 in the current budget
to buy land for a youth center
in the Langley Park area.
However. If the Blumberg Of
fer is accepted, this money
could be put into the construc-
ton costs of a center in Hyatts-
vile, according to Jesse Nichol-
son, executive director of the
M-NCPPC.

Traffic Over
Potomac UD
so in Year

The latest monthly traffic
count shows that crossings over
Potomac River bridges have in
creased around five per cent in
the past year, officials said
yesterday.
Traffic counters kept on the
bridges in April show a daily
average Of 100000 cars. buses
and trucks crossing five Po-
tomac River bridges, compared
with 295,000 in April 1862.
District Highway officials
said the traffic counts show a
trend for increasing congestion
at the bridge crossings.
At this rate, officials said
the entire number Of bridge
crossings would be doubled
within 20 years.
The District expects to open
the Southwest Freeway to traf-
fic to Second and d streets
S.W. within a few weeks, and
this will increase the flow
across the bridge at the crucial
rush hour.
I'VE know the volume Of
traffic will increase as a
result additional restric-
tions will have TO be imposed
upon the traffic flow on
Fourteenth street." a District
Highway Department official
said.
The District has been talk
ing TO the Virginia Highway
Department about using the
old Fourteenth Street Bridge
for reversible lanes. This would
give the Fourteenth street
crossing about so per cent more
capacity during rush hour. Of

In 7 Years

The Districts budget in
creased 1912 million, or ISL
per cent, between 1855 and
1862, according to the city
Governments annual report for
fiscal 1862 released yesterday.
Since the Districts popula-
ton declined 4.8 per cent be-
tween 1850 and 1860, some peo-
pie have had difficulty in un-
derstanding why spending con-
tinued to increase, the report
commented.
The report said that 51.3
cents in every dollar of increase
went for higher pay for teach
ers and other District Govern
ment employees and various
fringe benefits.
These increases, the report
noted, were provided by Con-
gress and matched the upward
trend in Government personnel
salaries across the Nation.
The report also gave the fol-
lowing breakdown on what por-
ton of each dollar of increase
went to various Government
activities:
Education, 24.3 cents; Health
and Welfare, 800 cents; Public
Safety, 22.6 cents; Highways
and traffic, 3.8 cents; parks
and recreation, 3.4 cents; sani-
tary engineering, 8 cents; and
general government. SO cents.
The report said that a shift
in the age composition Of the
city had created a need for
more education funds.
1t noted that, in 1850, out of
every 100 persons in the city,
26 were children 19 years or
under and that by 1860 the
number of youngsters for every
100 persons had climbed to 80.

Until it came to an end with the adj
vancing railroads in the 1880s, Fort Benton
was one of Montana's busiest spots. Head
waters for navigation on the Missouri, this
was veritable beehive of activity after
the gold strikes in the 186Os demanded
more and more travel and freight via the
Missouri. The first steamboat to come close
to Benton's docks was the Chippewa, ,
which arrived in 1859. Until the end of the
era, hundreds of shallow-draft steamers
arrived and left from it's crowded levees,
their skilled captains often losing out to
the tricky river bottom, and marauding
Indians who delighted in picking off the
small parties of wood-cutters who strove
to feed the boilers. Thirty-one steamers
arrived in 1866, 80 in 1867, 35 in 1868,
and "a in 1862 1t was in 1867 that ST.
100000 in raw gold was shipped to St.
Louis.

the Alice and bought the tabled Anaconda,
developing it with the help of Haggin,
Hearst and Tevis.
Unlike Clark this uneducated Irishman
was intensely likeable, his popularity leg
endary. But like Clark, with whom he was
friendly at first, DAILY was intelligent and
could be and was utterly purposeful and
ruthless By the turn of the century, he was
wealthy, at war with Clark's political as
pirations, and dying
The bitterness between Clark and DAILY
was not lifelong, as is sometimes thought.
1t began in 1888, when a confident Clark
found himself defeated for territorial dele
gate by Thomas H. Clark He guessed, with
some justification, that DAILY had joined
with Sam Hauser and other banking and
numbering interests in defeating him. Clark
never forgot this affront, and was to carry
ON his vindictive feud for over decade.
The third in the copper triumvirate was
F. Augustus Heinze, brash 20-year-old
engineer who came to Butte in 1889 with
a $4,000 inheritance. Quickly sensing the
possibilities, he went to Germany to study
mining and smelling, and returned to work
for the Boston and Montana Consolidated
company. Here he learned the complicated
vein systems underlying Butte so well that
he began seriously challenging the big in
terests in the courts, including Anaconda,
which was bought out by Standard Oil in
1899 and controlled by the giant and COM
pick holding company, Amalgamated.
w. A. Clark was an interested observer
as young Heinze won court cases with sus-
picious regularity, the while taking with
impunity the underground wealth of Anal
gamated. Thus a Clark-Heinze coalition
was effected, and by instituting an 8-hour
day in the Mines the partners of expedien-
cy even challenged the personal popularity
of Daily The Clark-Heinze alliance did not
last long after Days death in New York
in 1900, and shortly thereafter Amalga-
mated assessed Heinze's nuisance value at
around $40 million and bought him out
Heinze went to New York, where he hoped
to juggle the New York Stock Exchange to
his advantage. His Vaccinations failed and
are blamed by some for the panic of 1907.
He was relatively impoverished and a COM
pletely broken man when he died three
years later
Back in Montana, the War of the Copper
Kings was about over: DAILY was dead, and
began buying up the proper
ties of w. A. Clark, by now much more
interested in politics. In 1915, the gigantic
holding company was dis
solved, Standard Oil was no longer in
volved, and the old operating name Ana
conda, was back to stay.

Wnen Lno gOIQ SCT1keS OIL Tile IoOU > are
discussed, one made along little Silver Bow
Creek flowing down from the Continental
Divide is usually dealt with in another his
tory book chapter. G.. o. Humphrey, Will
liam Allison. Dennis Leary and Alexander
Scott were prospecting out of Alder Gulch
in October, 1854, when they came upon
some old diggings. Although it was shallow,
there was enough of the yellow metal to
justify calling it the Missoula Lode and
forming mining district.
Soon more prospectors came along and
Silver Bow City, Rocker, McMinnville and
Butte City sprang up. The gold played out,
and Silver Bow City and Rocker quickly
became ghost towns; indeed, in 1874 there
were only about 60 people living in Butte
itself. 1t was then that Congress passed the
Raw requiring certain amount of work be
done ON mining claims or the owner faced
forfeiture. William Farlin, generally con-
sidered the man who saved Butte from
oblivion, began taking over abandoned
claims, guessing correctly that there was
mineral wealth in the hard quartz.
Exploitation of the real wealth in the
richest hill on EARTH, of course, came
with the storied Copper Kings: William A.
Clark, Marcus Daily, and F. Augustus
Heinze. These men were to figure so strong
ly in the political upheavals before state
hood that this aspect will be dealt with in
the final section on that subject. But the
arrival of the three in Butte, the evolving
of their fantastic fortunes, and brief note
on the kind of men they were seems appro-
pirate here.
The first to come was Clark, in 1872. He
had followed the gold seekers to Bannack
in 1868, described by one who saw him as
"a little, red,headed man with a pack on
his back he wore red shirt, an old
army coat with one of the tails burned off
by too close proximity to the fire.. He
did not yet wear the beard which covered
a sharp chin, and his high thin voice was
not yet raised in flowery oratory. He was
not hkeable man, and kept much to him
self But he quickly saw the route he would
take: not gold, but merchandising. By 1867
he had expanded his business to Virginia
City and had a contract to haul mail from
Missoula to Walla Walla When he began
buying mining property in Butte in 1872,
Clark was already man of wealth. With
typical sagacity, he went east to the Co.
lumbia School of Mines to study metallurgy.
When William Farlin defaulted on mort
gage in 1875, Clark obtained the Dexter
Stamp Mill, and he owned a bank in Deer
Lodge and a good deal of real estate
Marcus DAILY, an Irish immigrant, arrived
in Butte in 1876 after serving his mining
apprenticeship in California and Nevada.
He had made some powerful mining con-
acts: George Hearst Gather of William
