SDcNcation We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and forty-seven, lo sincerely dedicate this book, our record of four years as students of Beaverhead County High School, to the servicemen of this county who have died in the services of the United States in order that students — not merely of this high school, but of all schools in this country — may have a chance for a well- proportioned education. Although this book is an inadequate expression of our appreciation, we hope it will, to some extent, console the hearts of the mothers, fathers, and wives of these brave soldiers.

Beaverhead County High School. The memories of the friends we made, the fun we had, and the new trails we blazed, will always remain with us. We began as Tenderfeet and worked our way up to Tophands. Now the time has come for us to saddle up and see what lies beyond the next hill. The purpose of this book is to keep these memories bright and shining, in spite of the attempts of years ahead to dim them. Though we may now go our separate ways, between the covers of this book we are bound together forever. “The Ranch” Beaverhead County High School Administration Any successful organization must have well-chosen leadership. It must be in the hands of a person willing to insure the needed discipline for good activity. Mr. D. L. Johnson, a man capa- ble of holding this responsibility, is Beaverhead County High School’s big boss. Our administration is also made effective with Mr. Bierrum as our assistant big boss. He takes over when Mr. Johnson is away on official business. The ranch work finds the foremen in different corrals. The teachers of our departments are the corral bosses. Our teachers carry the load of personally directing the Hands through their four years of training. The four years spent in this outfit are important in determining the trails we will follow in later life. Beaverhead County High School is considered one of the finest buildings in the state of Montana. It has fourteen regular class rooms, boys’ and girls’ shower and dressing rooms, a mechanical drawing room, an agricultural department, a home economics department, a shop department, a science department, a commercial department, a journalism department, a clinic, study hall, library, a little theater, a gymnasium with seating capacity of 1,000, and an audi- torium seating 600, and the administrative offices. It is earthquake and fire proof and was constructed at a cost of $350,000. It is a beautiful building and one of which Dillon and the whole Beaverhead County can be very proud. The Big Bosses 1). L. JOHNSON Principal W. J. Hierrum Assistant Principal Principal's Message TO THE SENIORS: As we approach the end of another year we are mindful of the fact that another fine class of young men and women are graduating from Beaverhead County High School and about to take their respective places in society. We hope that as a result of your training while in school both you and society will be bene- fited and you will find the time well spent in preparation for your chosen work. Part of the purpose of education is to teach one to live more fully and completely and in harmony with the other members of a democratic order. We hope that as a result of your training you are better able to meet the problems of life, to make your own decisions and to dare to think for yourselves. The faculty join me in congratulating you upon the completion of your education this far, and we wish you continued success as you journey life’s highway. Sincerely, I). L. JOHNSON, Principal BOARD OF DIRECTORS EDGAR WILLIAMS, President MRS. CHRISTINE OPP, Secretary DR. R. D. CURRY - C. E. BLINN TED McFADDEN RALPH HUNTLEY PARKE SCOTT In the Office Administration of this fine building is directed by Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bierrum, and Miss Christine Zugel. Records of students, their grades, and registration cards are compiled and preserved in the many cabinets of the office. All students entering Beaverhead County High School pay their tuition through this staff. Tardiness and absences are recorded and excuses are granted in the office. Bills of the various clubs and organizations are checked and approved by this staff. Many of the school activities are directed by means of the two-way sound system with phonograph and radio attachments. The speaker may speak to only one classroom or to all the rooms in the building. This staff is the students’ biggest and most helpful friend — ironing out their problems and aiding them in every possible way. The High School wouldn't be complete without our two custodians, Jules Wenger and George Pettit. Jules came here in 1940 as an extra helper when Conrad Orr was principal. The High School had only been in use a few months. The first time it was used was after the Christmas vacation in 1939. Mr .Pettit, known better to students as “Red,” came to work in 1943, taking Harold Murray’s position. Mr. Pettit, himself, was an outstanding athlete in football and base- ball when he was younger and a student at B.C.H.S. - We give both of these fellows much credit for the fine work they have done in keeping our school in good condition.

We have done our best to make this book, the 1947 Beaver, a true record of the activities of the school year. May it recall only happy mem- ories. Sports Editors— John Osborne Bruce Jardine Feature Editor— Leah Johnson Assistants— Verda Howard Geraldine Gillies Dorothy Lou Tyro Frances Fox Activity Editor— Carol Giudici Cartoons— Ramona Simon Sponsors— Evelyn Mikkelsen Joe Krall Hawkins’ Ranch — Blacktail The Hands Although we have four separate classes, Tenderfeet, Wranglers, Waddies. and Toohands. it is a prevalent attitude for them to “stick together.” Many times the groups have been called upon to work together not on the competitive basis but on the cooperative scheme. This has been shown during our successful basketball tournaments and music concerts. All classes responded with equal vigor to do their part. There is a friendly rivalry between our classes in yells at assemblies, in money-raising projects, and in contests. During the year each class organizes several projects; these projects are worked out very carefully and are put into the school ranch's regime. Through unity our outfit has become one of the most outstanding competitors in the state. The record of tolerance it shows is one of which we can be proud. Every year a group of Tenderfeet, who are newcomers to the outfit, enter the gates of Beaverhead County High School. As Tenderfeet they begin their secondary education. At first they wander around aimlessly until they become familiar with the outfit. They progress and in their second year they become Wranglers. By then they have spent a year working and learning the ropes. They break out fairly well and begin to settle down. Perhaps, the Wranglers have a lot to be proud of but it takes work handling some mighty big herds before they are turned out. The Wranglers advance and are now Waddies. The Waddies do a lot of hard work and are a necessary part of any organization. Along in the spring they have a “big shindig ’ the Junior Prom. Every outfit has some hands who are outstanding in their work. Having completed the four years of training they are ready to leave for bigger ranges. So it is with the Tophands of Beaverhead County High School. The time has come to say, “S’ long, pal.” Wayne Nelson Bruce Jardine Gerry Gillies Bruce Helming Jack Hoyrup Norah Richardson Leah Johnson Brandt Casterline Tophands President.

Miss Madge McRae was class sponsor. The members of the class were slow in joining extra activities. However there were a few bold ones. Twelve girls became members of the G.A.C. Thirteen boys had a hankering to be farmers, so they joined the F.F.A. Some of the rougher boys turned out for football and basketball. Four girls joined the Senior Girl Scouts. All the girls became members of the Girls' Club. When we entered our sophomore year, we were more enlightened. We started out by electing our class officers who were: president, Gerry Gillies; vice-president. Wayne Nelson; secretary. Bob Jones; treasurer. Frances Fox. Wanda Blomquist and Mary Long were Student Council representatives. Miss Evelyn Mikkelsen and John Hartwig were class sponsors. Bob Jones moved to Sheridan and Wanda Glascey succeeded him as secretary. Gerry Gillies and Janet Curry were elected to the National Honor Society. Two members were initiated into the “B” club.

A few members showed their talent in the operetta, “Firefly.” The sopho- Class Will We, the senior class of 1947, leave some of our most precious belongings to those whom we believe need them most. To the freshman class we give our manners and obedience, also our industriousness. To the sophomores we present our scholarships, honors, and all of our outstanding feats of bravery. To the juniors we will our good looks, naturally curly hair, and tiny feet. To the teachers we will our knowledge so they may pass it on to the other classes. mores were represented in the music department by Verl Sargent.

There were fifty-five members in the junior class. The class officers elected the first day were; presi- dent, Wayne Nelson; vice-president.

We gave a harvest dance during football season and gave the Christmas assembly with Arley McLaren acting as Santa Claus a d handing out gifts. The juniors elected for Honor Society were Frances Helming, Ford Knight, Carol Guidici, and Mary Long. Juniors in Color Guard were Bruce Helming, Wanda Glassey and Carol Gui- dici. Eugene Bennett went farther with his music playing in the all-state band. Twelve members were in band and seven took part in twirling and flag swinging. Harold O'Connell. Wayne Nelson, Ford Knight. Bruce Jardine. Luther French and John Osborne were initiated into the “B” club. The class put on a play, “Out of the Frying Pan,” by Francis Swann. Our class sponsors were Miss Evelyn Mik- kelsen, Mrs. Claudia Faust, and John Hartwig. In the spring we put on the annual Junior Prom, having a Spanish Fiesta theme. Our senior year we had an enrollment of fifty- two. Class officers elected were: president, Wayne Nelson; vice-president. Jack Hoyrup; secretary, Luther French; treasurer, Billy Roberts. Nora Rich- ardson was elected to succeed Luther French when he and Jean Hillstead were married and moved to Billings. Leah Johnson was elected to take the place of Billy Roberts as treasurer when Billy joined the Marines. Student Council representatives were: Carol Guidici, Gerry Gillies, John Osborne, and Bruce Jardine. Lowell Hildreth and Wayne Arbour were the new members initiated into the “B club. Janet Curry, Lois Sacry, Ramona Simon, Brandt Casterline. Ford Knight, Bruce Helming, Dorothy Lou Tyro were the seniors initiated into Quill and Scroll. We put on a play. “Stage Door,” written by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman. Lowell Hil- dreth was initiated into Honor Society and also was elected Good Citizen by his classmates. At the end of the football season we put on a dance. Mary Long was chosen valedictorian of the class and Carol Guidici. salutatorian, by virtue of having the high- est grade averages in the class. The Union Pacific scholarship was awraided to Wayne Nelson. The class is planning a senior dinner dance to be held May 20. The annual you are now reading has been produced by the senior class.

Seniors Farewell Ramona Simon )-------( Thank you for your happy memories, Dear old B.C.H.S. halls— We ll never forget the fun we’ve had Here within your walls. The classes, meets, and football games The tournaments and plays— Concerts, staff, and Junior Prom Our happy high school days. We remember the day when first we came With wondering Freshman gaze On the lofty seniors strutting by— The strange new high school ways. Then as Sophomores, oh so wise, No one as great as we— The world was ours and ours alone And no one else we could see. Junior year came swiftly on, We were upper classmen now, And as perfect examples for lower classes We Juniors showed them how. And now as mighty Seniors, Arrayed in cap and gown, We look back on high school days. And all the things we’ve known. And with diplomas in our hand, Another triumph we have earned; We’ll say goodlbye, but won’t forget. These last four years and all we’ve learned Colors: Blue and White Flower ; White Carnation M t t o : The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.

An orchestra made up of Bonnie Ann Martin, Ann Carroll, John Sanner, Marion Camp, Kay Whitworth, Delores Da- vis, and Raymond Simon furnished the music. Bev- erly Tucker and Kitty Curry sang and played some Western music. Jim Burt and Denton Hughes acted as clowns.

Cowhands come from miles around to see some mighty fine riding, roping, and bulldogging. These are the real thrillers of any rodeo. We call them sports here at our ranch. Ours are football, basketball, track, and softball. The athletics of a high school is the making of a high school just as the rodeo is the making of the history of the county. There is a great deal of competition among players but always good sportsmanship is shown. Big crowds turn out for all contests. Trophy Case Beaverhead County High School has always been outstanding in athletics. The two favorite sports are basketball and football. The Beavers have earned their greatest fame in basketball. The trophy case contains a large number of trophies showing how the Beavers have excelled in this sport. The basketball team has been in the Class “B” division for the past fourteen years, winning eight championships. They have been divisional cham- pions six times. In 1920 the Beavers won the State championship. The football team of Beaverhead County High School dropped from Class “A” to Class “B” in 1943, as it was hard to compete against the larger school squads. The Beaver's have always had a tough team to beat but lack of substitutes have hindered them continuously. The Beavers have been divisional champions three times. The last time was in 1945 when they defeated Columbus. We have had no track since 1943. This year the Beavers have been trying to revive track with hopes of being able to compete in a few meets. This year the first annual East-West football game will be played August 23 at Great Falls. Ford Knight had the honor of being selected from the '46 squad to play a guard position. The Beavers have always been a strong contender for athletic honors in the state and we are certain they will continue to be champions. We hope they will1 bring back more trophies for the trophy case.

These sports are football, basketball, and track. 1° make a letter in football, it is necessary to play in ten quarters. The basketball letters are given to the ten players who win positions on the tournament team. Letters are given to trackmen who earn eight points. The “B” Club helps with all sport activities of the school. They also sell candy during the noon hour in the hall on school days. They sell re- freshments at all tournaments held in Dillon. The Club sponsors several dances during the year. Senior members of the club receive jackets each spring from the club's funds. Their biggest event of the year is the annual spring picnic, at which time a lunch is bought and members invite their girls to Elkhorn. Officers of the “B” Club this year are: president, Jim Bateman; vice- president, Arley McLaren; secretary-treasurer, Ted Hazelbaker; sergeant- at-arms, Ford Knight. COACH MORRISON The coach of the Bea- vers this year was Royal Morrison. Mr. Morrison attended col- lege at Montana State College, Port Oxford University, Portland, Oregon, and the Mon- tana State Normal College. Before tak- ing over the coaching position here, he coached at Port Ox- ford University in Oregon and at Fort Benton high school. He now has won a po- sition as junior varsi- ty coach at the Mon- tana State Normal College in Dillon. (First row, bottom). Elroy Westad, Wayne Nelson.

The Beavers were outweighed and had less experience but certainly were not outfought, as shown by the fact that the Saints’ lead was not assured until late in the fourth quarter. The game opened with the Saints receiving and advancing to their 30-yard stripe. The Saints scored midway through the first quarter on passes and end runs; Flynn packed it over and kicked the extra point. The Beavers out- fought the Saints for the rest of the half which ended with Jardine, Beaver center, intercepting a pass two plays before the period ended. Anaconda kicked to begin the third quarter and the Beavers returned it to their own 35- yard line. On the first play, a pass from Cop- pin to Banks on the Saints’ 40-yard line con- nected and the sophomore end eluded three tacklers to score; the conversion failed. The Saints scored a touchdown late in the third quarter and again in the middle of the fourth to make it a decision. Although the Beavers were defeated, they never gave up during the game. It is certain also that they didn’t lose their spirit and de- termination. It was just that they were up against a big experienced team which had an unlimited number of substitutes. The game was the Beavers’ first afternoon game on their home field in three years. The final score was 20-6. This game decided the “B” class South- western District Championship. BRUCE JARDINE Bruce played center on the 1946 football squad. Bruce has come upon his football playing honestly; Bruce’s father was also a star foot- ball center when he attended B.C.H.S. Bruce has been out for football two years before making his letter during his junior year. Bruce was the main spark of the team; he was always willing to hold up his end of the line. His fine sportsmanship and character won for him the place of Captain of the ’46 football team. Bruce weighs 165 pounds. MERLE SACER and FORD KNIGHT Ford Knight and Merle Sauer were the backbone of the Beaver line. Merle was right guard while Ford played left guard. Merle weighs 150 pounds and Ford 145 pounds. Even though they were not very big, the opposition found out that dynamite comes in small packages. Ford was highly honored when he was picked to play in the East- West game at Great Falls, August 23, 1947. Ford has been out for foot- ball all four years he has been in school, earning his letter when he was a junior. Ford played most of the season with a bad knee that gave him a great deal of trouble. This was Merle’s first season of football. WAYNE NELSON and HAROLD O’CONNELL Wayne Nelson and Harold O’Connell were the big rugged tackles on the team. Wayne was hurt in the second game at Butte but played some during the rest of the season. He has two years of football to his credit. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 160 pounds. Harold was hurt in the third game at Anaconda and was out for the remainder of the season. He stands 6 feet tall and weighs 165 pounds. These two boys were surely missed when they were not in the game. ARLEY McLaren Arley McLaren was the Beavers powerhouse full'back. He had the credit of packing the most tape of any boy in Montana. Although he was hurt all season, he played practically the whole time. Arley has four years of football to his credit. He weighs 175 and stands 6 feet tall. ¥ JOHN OSBORNE John Osiborne played right halfback and was the signal caller for the Beavers. John was the tower of strength on defense and his block- ing on offensive was invulnerable. He has two years of football to his credit. He weighs 155 pounds and stands 5 feet, 10 inches. JIMMY BATEMAN Jimmy Bateman played left halfback and was nicknamed “Jack- rabbit Jim” because of his fleet and elusive running. He had his leg broken in the third game of the season at Butte and was out for the rest of the season. This was his third year of football for the Beavers. Jim weighs 150 pounds.

The Beavers were handicapped by the loss of Jim Bateman, a letterman of the 46 Beavers, who suffered a broken ankle during football season, and Arley McLaren who received a shoulder injury in football. Although seriously hampered by the in- jury, McLaren was the only player who played in every game for the Beavers. The Beavers inexperienced prospects were receiv- ed by Coach Royal Morrison who took over coaching duties at B.C.H.S. this year. Coach Morrison for- merly coached at Fort Benton, Montana. Of the group reporting for the first practice, only Patton, McLaren, Hazelbaker, and Osfborne returned fiom last year’s team and only McLaren played on the first five last year. The starting lineup for the Beavers for the first game with Salmon, Idaho, was: forwards, Coppin and Osborne; center, Patton; guards, McLaren and -Banks. Coach Morrison found that this combination lacked the height to control the backboards. After much shifting of players, he found that Patton and Johnson as forwards, Huntley as center, and McLaren and Osborne as guards, formed the best scoring combination. The Beavers started slowly by dropping their first game to Salmon, 27-22, -but came back to defeat Philipsburg, 29-24, then lost a close one to the Anaconda Eagles, 31-28. In pre-tournament play the Beavers lost by no more than four points which shows that their games were very exciting. The Beavers suffered only four losses on their home floor, three of them to Anaconda teams and the other to the Dillon Independents. In district tournament play the Beavers took second place, losing to their old rivals, Anaconda Central, who took first place both in the district and the divisional tournaments. The Beavers defeated Ennis, 32-18, the first night; barely nosed out Twin Bridges, 39-37 in the semi-finals, then lost to Ana- conda Central, 53-41, in the finals. In the divisional tournament, the Beavers won one game and lost two, defeating Eureka in an over- time, 48-44, the first night, but losing to Hamilton, 58-34, in the semi-finals. The Beavers then played Deer Lodge to see who would play for third and fourth places but were defeated 59-47. Hamilton took second place in- the divisional tournament but went on to win the State Class B Championship at Glasgow. During the season, Patton was high in the indi- vidual scoring column with 225 points, followed by Huntley with 202 and McLaren with 185. Patton was consistent at forward scoring, having an ave- rage of 11 points per game. Patton had an almost uncanny eye from the corner and was also the best ball hardier on the team. Huntley improved rapidly during the season and- soon earned a position on the fir t five. Huntley was brilliant on rebounds and had q very effective hook shot. McLaren was out- standing at guard both offensively and in breaking up the opposition’s offensive plays. McLaren was rugged on rebounds and was always respected be- cause of his size by the other teams. Jim Johnson, six-foot-four-inch forward, was a mainstay under the basket and was also effective with a corner shot. Jim was one of the hardest workers on the squad and consequently soon earned a position on the first five. , _ _ The Beavers lose only McLaren and Osborne next year. They were elected co-captains of the ’47 Beavers. Next year’s team will have a good nucleus to work with as Patton, Huntley, Hazel- baker, Coppin, Westad, Johnson, Banks, and Hill- stead will be back along with a lot of good freshman material.

Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club, known as Kappa Lambda Gamma, has been organized ever since there has been a home economics department in Beaverhead County High School, Kappa Lambda Gamma was adopted as the club name in 1934. The aims of the club are; to develop team- work and to promote friendship among mem- bers, to gain experience in entertaining, to encourage improvement in scholarship, and to encourage members to contribute toward the happiness and well-being of her home. The sponsor of this years’ Home Ec Club is Mrs. Harry Andrus. Frances Fox is president of the group. The activities of the group have varied a great deal. At different occasions the girls have given and served dinners to the various social groups of the high school—the F.F.A. fr ather-and-Son Banquet, National Honor So- ciety Banquet for the new initiates and also the faculty members, and the National Quill and Scroll Banquet. For the annual Christmas party for all the high school, the home eco- nomics girls prepared and served popcorn balls and passed them out among the students. This year, miniature candy canes were given out. In May the Home Ec girls went together with the Girls’ Club and gave the Annual Mothers’ Day Tea. The girls who have taken sewing during the year are given the opportunity of exhibiting their clothes in the style show. Tea coffee, sandwiches and mints are served for refreshments. Two girls were sent from the department to attend the High School week at Bozeman, Montana. Part of their expenses are paid by the club. This gives the girls an opportunity to see what girls from the other schools of Montana have accomplished. (Bottom row, left to right): Wanda Glassey, Frances Helming, Janet Curry, Virginia Eddy.

The purpose of the club is to promote service for others, unselfishness, leadership, and cooperative teamwork. All girls in high school automatically become members of the dub. In 1943 the Girls’ Club voted to become an inactive organization which would present only its traditional social events. This year the annual Christmas party was given in honor of about twenty grade school children. They were entertained with games and singing and were presented with gifts and candy by Santa Claus. This year the Girls’ Club joined the Home Economics Club in giving a formal dance. The Guild Hall was decorated in a Dutch Garden theme. Approximately fifty-five couples at- tended. The other social event of the year is the Mothers’ Day tea to which each girl invites her mother or some close friend. This takes place the week before Mother’s Day. The girls aided in selling Christmas seals at downtown booths and also in the spring sold Cancer tags. Miss Evelyn Mikkelsen is the sponsor of Girls’ Club and also of the Pep Club, a newly organized branch of the Girls’ Club.

It is governed by a central com- mittee composed of representatives from the classes with a committee from American Le- gion Auxiliary acting in an advisory capacity. The Central Committee has a regularly elected chairman, vice-chairman, secretary-treasurer, and two representatives from each class. The Auxiliary Chairman meets with the central committee and all business pertaining to the center is taken care of on the first Thursday of each month. The center is open Friday and Saturday evenings during basketball season. Many spe- cial dances and parties are held at the Hi Spot during the school year. The officers during the past years are as follows: chairman, Ted Hazelbaker; vice- chairman, Wayne Arbour; secretary-treasurer, Donna Carrigan; senior representatives, Fran- ces Helming and Bruce Helming; junior repre- sentatives, Clayton Huntley and Rosemary Lane; sophomore representatives, Delores Da- vis and Robert Banks; freshman representa- tives, Charles Hendron and Eddie Davis.

Band Under the baton of Fred A. Honeychurch, the band and orchestra have witnessed a year of exceptional activity. The usual schedule of the music year was followed completely. In the early fall when football was at its peak, the band was at the grandstand to cheer the team on with the school song and appro- priate marches. In November and December the concert band started its preparations for the winter concert. Proceeds from this concert went into the band and orchestra fund. The money from the fund paid for the twirlers and flag swingers' costumes and for the piano ensemble girls’ dresses. When basketball season rolled around, the band was ready with its half-time band shows. During the District Tournament, which was held at Dillon in late February, the band again presented intermission shows. This spring the band went to Helena for the Music Meet which was held on May 10. The band gave a half-hour program over KXLF, the radio station in Butte. The school takes off its hat to the band for its splendid cooperation with the sports activi- ties and willingness to help at all times. Orchestra The Orchestra of B.C.H.S. has also had a busy life during the school year. During the fall and early winter it prepared to give its share of the winter concert. The highlight of the concert was the “Finale to the Farewell Symphony” by Hayden. The orchestra played this number under the light of candles which were in stands by the music. As each player finished his cue and was through playing, he extinguished his candle and left the stage. When the piece was finished, the only remain- ing players were the violins and the conductor. This scene was very effective. The orchestra also went to the Music Meet at Helena where it played two numbers for adjudication and then it joined in with the other orchestras and played in the massed orchestra. The orchestra is under the direction of Mr Fred Honeychurch. (Reading from left to right): Darlene Stefanatz, Peggy Lovell, Mary Griffith, Kathryn Jakovac, Janet Bridenstine, Verda Howard.

It has large ranges of mountains, rolling foothills and fer- tile valleys. The richest wild hay land in the world is here. There are clear mountain streams and big roll- ing rivers. Of course we call it BEAVERHEAD COUNTY a Beaverhead County Beaverhead County acquires its name from the curious rock formations near the mouth of Beaver- head valley. It is a barrier three hundred feet in height with the river sweeping along its base. The seams of the rocks are filled with beautiful crystals. On the eastern side of the rock, a large number of hot springs issue forth a great amount of mineral water which combines to form a stream of consider- able size. On the Big Hole river, four miles to the north, is another group of springs called Ziegler Hot Springs which keep the surrounding ground so warm the snakes and insects do not have to seek winter quarters. This county is largely devoted to agriculture; cattle being predominate, although sheep are also raised in large numbers. The Big Hole Basin is devoted to cattle raising entirely, due mostly to the fact that its wild hay is one of the greatest fat producers known. Grasshopper and Horse Prairie districts are also large producers of beef cattle. Centennial valley between Red Rock and Yellow- stone park, is a producer of both sheep and cattle. Grain, sheep, and cattle are raised in Blacktail valley south of the county seat. The largest valley, Bea- verhed, is a great hay and grain producing river bottom extending seventy miles from Lima to Bea- verhead Rock, and here much stock from the higher valleys is wintered. Mining is also an important industry, the first discovery being made on Grasshopper creek near Bannack by John White on July 28, 1862. Copper and iron ores are both found in the Birch Creek mountains, and along the ranges skirting Bea- verhead and Red Rock valleys are numerous mine discoveries and workings. Bannack is both a placer and quartz mining district. Its placer ground has been worked twice by dredgers. Bannack is honeycombed with quartz workings. There are two flotation mills remaining in Bannack today, one of two hundred and fifty and the other of one hundred ton capacities. Bannack is still potential as both a placer and quartz district. The Argenta-Rattlesnake district is, next to Ban- nack, the oldest quartz camp in Montana. The first smelter erected in the state was built here by the Saint Louis and Montana Milling Company with S. T. Hauser as the head. Part of this smelter still stands today. Argenta has recently found new life, due to the wartime demands for metals; much ore including gold, silver and lead, is shipped weekly. The Blue Wing district, though never very pro- ductive, is still prospected. Elkhorn, Horse Prairie, and Big Hole are also prospected. The mines at Glendale and Lion City near Melrose have been large producers in their day. Newly developed mines of talc and graphite south of Dillon have proved profitable during the last several years. Fishing in the streams of Beaverhead County draws many vacationers and week-enders to the Beaverhead valley. Residential Scene Near Normal College Campus Dillon Dillon, (5,067 alt.), seat of Beaverhead County, was named for Sidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific R.R. It is a very important primary wool market and the largest wool-shipping point in Montana. Dillon, having only a population of a little over 3,000, has the air of a much larger city, and an assurance and repose that it owes perhaps to its having known few economic setbacks. Many of the homes are typical of the early 1900’s while others are of modern design. A few of the first log cabins still remain. As the seat of the State Normal College, Dillon has a great variety of cultural activities, including those of literary and choral clubs, high school and grade school bands and orchestras. The college prepares teachers for the public schools of the state. The position of the town, amid the low, lazy, rather arid hills, was determined by accident. Con- struction of the Utah and Northern R.R. was sud- denly brought to a standstill in 1880, when a rancher on land here refused to give it up for the right-of- way. A few enterprising men engaged in business at or near the terminus banded together, bought the ranch, and gave the railroad company the right to go through. They continued their partnership by executing a trust deed, recorded on December 4, 1880, which marked the bi fr of Dillon. The new town became the county seat when voters decided that Bannack was too far off the beaten track. The wool warehouse, near the railroad station, is operated by a local company that markets wool for the growers, and can hold three million pounds of wool. Main Building — M.S.N.C. i Brown's Turkey Farm B a n n a c k Bannack was named for an Indian tribe. It sprang up overnight, July 28, 1862. Bannack is situ- ated on Willard’s (Grasshopper) creek, a tributary of the Beaverhead. John White and Williams Eads made first gold strike in Montana which was at Bannack. Bannack’s residential district became “Yankee Flat.” Henry Plummer became sheriff at Bannack. With him as a chief, a gang of highway- men began operations in 1863 along the wild 90-mile stretch between Alder Gulch and Bannack. Schools were started at Bannack in 1863; a niece of Sidney Edgerton, first governor of the territory, taught at Bannack. Bannack was tumultous and rough, the headquarters of highwaymen and lawlessness. Mis- rule seemed the prevailing spirit. Bannack is an almost deserted town at the present time. Wisdom In the heart of the Big Hole country is a small town, population 255, called Wisdom. It was settled early in the Spring of 1882 by a pair of newlyweds, A1 Nays and his wife, Hattie. Before this, Lewis and Clark had passed through the center of this small town. The so-called Big Hole river was called the Wis- dom river by the Lewis and Clark expedition but traders and trappers changed it to the “Big Hole.” Hattie Nays, having taken a liking to the name Wis- dom, named the little town what it is called today. The town name and makeup is practically the same as it was years ago; it is still a place for the ranchers to replenish supplies and get their mail. At the present time Wisdom has several small stores and saloons. Dell Dell, which is about forty miles south of Dillon, has an altitude of 6,050 and a population of 45. It is a trading center for the valley ranchers. Argenta Argenta was chartered January 6, 1865, as the town of Montana. Under the act, Sam McLean, Samuel W. Batchelder, Edwin R. Purple, Walter C. Hopkins, William H. Miller, Thomas Pitt, George Stapleton, Darwin Hawkins, James Tufts and their associates were empowered to lay out the town of Montana. Under the act approved December 30, 1868, the name was changed to Argenta. The location is thir- teen miles northeast of Bannack on Rattlesnake creek near the silver quartz mountains and gold placers and at one time was the property of three thousand claimants. Fishing Stream — Beaverhead County _ Jackson On the site of some warm springs, which start on the Wendell Jardine ranch, is the small town of Jackson. The town is mostly a trading center, hav- ing a postoffice, saloons, and stores. It is kept alive by the neighboring ranchers. It is a historic little town having been in existence some fifty years. Grant Grant was started by the G. P. Railroad on the Barrett ranch over thirty years ago. It was named after President Grant. The town has a post office, a store, a saloon, and a blacksmith shop. There is a small tunnel near Grant which the railroad went through. Every train that has gone through this tunnel has gone through backwards because of the steepness of the pass. The tunnel is still there, but the railroad is gone. Armstead Armstead has an altitude of 5,505 and a popula- tion of 109. It is located at the junction of Prairie and Red Rock creeks which form the Beaverhead river. Captain Meriwether Lewis, scouting ahead of his canoe party, turned west along an Indian trail by Prairie creek, and found the camp of Came- ahwait, Sacajawea’s brother. The meeting between Sacajawea and Cameahwait occurred a little way downstream. Right from Armstead about one mile are rock paintings, believed to be the work of prehistoric Indians. Behind the first large red butte are lines of stones running from it across the valley like spokes radiating from a hub. At the foot of the butte are crude paintings in the center of a large ring of rock. It is supposed that the place was the scene of the tribal rites. Red Rock Red Rock, so named because of the predominant red of the rocks around it, is in Red Rock valley, a fine broad sweep of irrigated hayland. It is 5,490 feet above sea level and has a population of twenty. Because of the elevation and the short growing season, sheep and cattle are the chief products of the ranches, whose prosperity is shown by their well-kept buildings. Nonida Monida has an altitude of 6,798 feet and a popu- lation of 75. It is located on the Continental Divide, and has a name composed of parts of the names of the States meeting here. It was a welcome stage stop on the old Salt Lake Trail, which in the 1860’s brought people hungry for gold into Montana and took away those who were satisfied. The Centen- nial mountains and the Beaverhead mountains form the Continental Divide. Lima Lima has an altitude of 6,256 feet and a popula- tion of 459. It is the division point on the Oregon Short Line. Since the removal of the railroad repair shops, it has lost much of its activity. Some of the stores are boarded up and several houses have been deserted. It has a round house for' ser- vicing the Union Pacific Railroad. It also has a tow for trains over the Monida divide. Left from Lima is Lima reservoir which provides water for much of the grassland along Rock creek. E 1 k h o r n This is a lovely scenic region situated in green pine, with cold and hot water springs running through the tall cool forests. This site is one of the most visited spots in Montana. It started in 1925 when Mr. R. Brown built the lodge and decided to put to use this natural vacation spot. On arriving at Elkhorn you drive up a lovely road surrounded on either side by wild game. Four miles past Elkhorn on the Wise River road you find yourself in Crystal park. For the more daring of nature there is skiing. There are two rope tows, three slides, three jumps with one under construction. When finished it prom- ises to be one of the biggest in the world and largest one in our state. The present owners, the Haights, provide horse- back riding for sunny days. Picnicking, hiking and souvenir hunting are all popular sports enjoyed by vacationists here. The streams around this area provide water for the swimming pools. They are just warm enough to be inviting in the winter and just the right tem- perature for that invigorating swim in the summer. What more could a vacationist, nature lover, peace seeker, want? Just another spot that goes to make up the novel interior of Beaverhead County. f Plunge — Elkhorn Hot Springs Advertising In the next section you will find many items offered by our trading posts of Beaverhead and surrounding counties. It would not have been possible to put out this annual if our advertisers had not given so gener- ously. Because of advertising, we were able to meet all expenses and make this book one of which we are proud. We sincerely thank all the merchants of Dillon, Butte, and Wis- dom.
