Former Live Silver Camps Near
Helena Will Return to Their
Former Glory.
Helena, Nov. 28.—One of Montana's
oldest gold mines, originally known as
the Wliitlach, and now called the Court
House, which is located five miles south
of Helena, will again be operated. Yes
teday the Silvery Spray Mining & Mill
ing Co. took over the property, which
has been held by the Montana Gold Con
solidated Mining company.
The mine is one of the sensational
producers of the Helena district and is
said to have given up to its workers
more than $5,(XX),000 in gold.
Work will be started at the Court
House at once. A small force of uen
will be put to work within the next i'ew
days and will be gradually increased. If
necessary, as many as 50 men will be
employed at the mine getting out ore.
Reliable information has reached the
offices of the Montana Mining associa
tion that D. C. Walker is about to re
open the old Elkhorn mine. The Elk
liorn was, in its day, one of the biggest
silver producers in the country. Its ore
shoots were at once the wonder and the
admiration of mining men from all over
the I'nited States.
When the mine was operating Elk
horn was one of the livest camps in the
state. It boasted a large pay roll, hun
dreds of employes being steadily on the
job. The pay shoots which were opened
from time to time netted splendid re
turns. The low price to which silver
dropped caused the mine to close. At
the time of the shut-down, so it is re
ported. a new shoot had been broken
into which promised to rival in produc
tion any of those previously mined.
Handred Thousand Pounds of
Gobbler Consumed in Mining
City on Thanksgiving.
Butte, Nov. 28.—Approximately 100,
000 pounds of turkey, representing an
expenditure of nearly $50,000, graced
the festive boards of Kutte people
Thanksgiving day, according to esti
mates of buyers for local wholesale
houses. The estimate is considered a
conservative one. but is less than half
of the estimate of the 1918 Thanksgiving
day sales.
Fewer turkeys were sold this year
than last year because of the increase in
prices, the dealers stated. Most of
the birds sold for from 45 cents to 48
cents a pound, No. 1 grade. The de
mand at this price was easily supplied,
but it was impossible to sell the birds
cheaper, according to the supply houses.
The average Butte family of five per
sons paid approximately $0.95 for its
Thanksgiving dinner, a local chef esti
mated Thursday afternoon. Here is thtj
way he figured it: Soup, 25 cents; salad,
75 cents; turkey, S3.50; cranberry sauce,
'M cents; celery, .'<5 cents; potatoes, 25
cents; dressing. 25 cents; dessert, 50
cents; coffee, 25 cents; bread and butter,
55 cents. Total, $6.95.
RUE O.K. SOMETIMES,
Chicago Magazine Writer Hires
One to Watch His Daughter
and a Mllionaire.
Chicago Tribune Nperlal Dispatch to
Great Fall« Daily Tribune.
t Chicago, Nov. 28.—The next time that
Cullen A. Cain hires a private detective
to watch his daughter—but no, Mr. Cain
promised his daughter today that next
time there would be no private detec
tives.
For private detectives, Mr. Cain has
decided, are apt. like fathers, to be
blessed with too large imaginations.
Meanwhile the private detective him
self is wondering whether the John T.
Milliken of St. Louis, whose red racer
he has tracked for three days, is the
John T. Milliken whose father, famous
St. Louis capitalist, died less than a year
ago leaving $30,000,000 made in the
Golden Cycle mine at Cripple «'reek,
Colo., and in the Milliken Chemical com
pany.
Mr. Cain refuses to identify the rich
youth who he decreed should not marry
his daughter as the heir to the St. Louis
millions. His daughter also refuses to
talk. The supposed millionaire himself
cannot be reached.
Is Maoazlne Writer.
Mr. Cain is a magazine writer who
lives at 741 Cornelia avenue. Gwendolyn
is his daughter, has been for IS winters.
She went to school last winter in St.
Louis and met there the youthful owner
of the red racer and the name famous
in the financial columns of Colorado and
Missouri.
Mr. Milliken entered Chicago three
days ago, preceded by a telegram to
Gwendolyn, and the private detective
entered at the same time.
Mr. Cain instructed his sleuth that
his daughter was not to be molested—
linless she started for Crown Point, Ind.
The private detective tracked the couple
to two leather chairs in the lobby of the
Hotel Sherman. It looked suspicious.
Moreover, the red racer out by the curb
stone looked as though it could travel.
It could travel much faster, the private
detective decided, than any
might hire.
It Ends Well.
So lie asked Mr. Milliken from St.
Louis and his employer's danghter to
step over to Central detail station. They
did. The next arrival was Mr. Cain.
The next was his attorney, Daniel R.
Forbes.
There were explanations, tears, apolo
gies. Mr. Cain went back home. Gwen
dolyn went with him. Mr. Milliken went
Lack to the Hotel Sherman, and the pri
vate detective, paid in advance, returned
to his office.
P. S.—They hadn't intended to go to
Crown Point. They were about to go
to the north side for dinner.

LEAVES FOR VISIT
IN MIDDLEWEST STATES
Special to The Daily Tribune.
Chinook, Nov. 28.—Miss Margaret
Reed, daughter of Col. Jas. E. Reed of
the Silver Bow country, left Tuesday for
Williston to visit. From there she will
go to visit relatives in Chicago. Ohio and
Kentucky..
People of Browning
Almost Unanimous
for Incorporation
Browning, Nov. 28.—By a vote of
101 to 2, the residents of Browning
expressed themselves as in favor of
Incorporating at the incorporation
election held at this place Tuesday.
Owing to the extreme bad weather
the vote was very light, being about
■one-fourth of what was expected to
be cast, but taken all in all, every
resident is feeling rather jubilant over
the result.
FERGUS COIL VEINS
IRE BEING TAPPED
Coal Deposits Hitherto Merely
Scratched Are Now Being
Brought to Front.
Special to The Daily Tribune.
Lewistown, Nov. 28.—Not only are the
coal mines of this vicinity that have for
years been working on a small scale
greatly increasing their output as a re
sult of the coal shortage, but several
new coal deposits are being opened up.
All of these are big enough to make
regular, though small shipments, and
some of them have very promising veins,
both as to size and quality of the coal,
so that indirectly the strike is doing
some good. By the time normal condi
tions are restored with respect to fuel
three or four new mines on Moore and
Beaver creek will be working while some,
of the excellent deposits in the Wini
fred country will also be under opera
tion.
Magistrate of Butte
Places the Taboo
on Games for Candy
Butte. Nov. 28.—In future, gambling
games which may be played for candy or
cigars, or any other articles having a
commercial value, will be regarded as
sufficient cause for the arrest, of the
participants, according to a dictum hand
ed down by Judge Grimes of the munici
pal court.
"This court can see no moral differ
ence between the games which are played
for money and those which are played
for the equivalent of money," says the
judge. "Therefore, my decision in such
cases will hereafter be identical."
The ruling, it is believed, will bring
within the purview of the court prac
tically every poolroom and soft drink
parlor in the city, if it is rigidly en
I
forced. It is pointed out by those who
see things through a viewpoint at va
riance with the judge that there are 1
hundreds of law-abiding men in the city
who play cards or pool for fun, but who
like to have some small token in the
balance in order to keep up interest.
It is argued, from this viewpoint, that
the statement of Judge Grimes is draw
ing a rather Puritan line.

Livingston, Nov. 28.—"You should

name of the people," Governor Sam V.
Stewart is urged in a telegram sent from
Livingston to the capital this afternoon
by representatives of al! local business
houses. Continuing, the telegram states;
"This community is confronted with the
most acute fuel famine ever faced by
people. Many families are ulready suf

not interested in the profits of the coal

Returns of Past Season Have in
Some Instances Figured
About $100 Per Acre.
Special to The Daily Tribune.
Harlem, Nov. 28.—Figuri'ig the returns
from the land at 10 per cem ou the in
vestment the irrigated mod-! of the
famous Milk river vallev arc worth $900
to §1.000 per acre. These figures have
just been revealed b\ two prominent
farmers, who raise alfalfa, in thcli annual
report to the reclamation service tfbJch
is taking a census of the product« grown
under reclaimed hmds under the -Milk
river project.
Thomas M. Everett, who has a field
of 200 acres of alfalfa reports that this
year his crop went four tons to the
acre for ha^ and that he has sold the
whole crop in the stack for $23 per ton.
bringing him $18,400 or an average of
$92 per acre.
James Rannel, who had in 200 acres
of alfalfa let his crop go to seed. From
this crop ho threshed 700 bushels of
Grimm alfalfa seed which he sold for
$21 per bushel; 200 bushels of common
seed which he sold for $10 per bushel
and he has left 300 tons of alfalfa straw
which he is selling at $15 per ton. His
total income will be $21,200 or an average
of $106 per acre.
Every foot of the Miik river valley
which is properly farmed can be made to
firoduee in a similar manner^ when the
and is brought under irrigation, and a
movement has been started by the
Harlem Development association to push
all irrigation projects so that, the whole
Chinook unit of the Milk river irrigation
project can be brought under water.
With the St. Mary's water supply now
turned into the Milk river the Milk river
project has the best and most stable
water light in the state of Montana. The
drouth of the past season gave it the
I severest possible test. The source of
water for most every other irrigation
project in the state dried up during the
season when water was most needed, but
there never was a shortage of water for
irrigation purposes in the Milk river. As
a result the irrigated lands of the. Milk
river valley have produced the greatest
crops in years.
According to the movement which has
been started an irrigation district will
be created on the north side of Miik river
this winter which will water all the land
between Rohman and Harlem and the
people east of Harlem are proposing to
have the Harlem ditch extended clear
down to Coburg which will add about
lO.Otk) acres.
The Harlem Water T'sers association
purchased a large dredge last summer
which has been working continuously and
is still in operation enlarging their main
canal. New stock holders have been taken
into the company increasing the capital
to $100.000 and next summer it is ex
pected to water 3,000 acres more than
1 ^ ast year.
There has been a great deal of activity
in the valley this fall in building new
I lateral ditches and improving the old
] ones. The cold weather coming on
I earlier than was expected stopped a
i great deal of this improvement works.
! Several farmers who have come under
' the irrigation project are planning on
; installing large centrifugal pumps for
I pumping water on their nigh ground so
as to get all their land under production.
It is estimated that at least 50 per cent
more land will be under water nest spring
in and around Ilarlem.
