DEDICATION This annual is gratefully dedicated to those Pioneers who settled in the GOLORUSH 60’s The backwash of the 49'ers drifted north as their luck played out. Many came to Montana. Between 1862-1865 successive gold strikes at Gold Creek, Alder Gulch and Last Chance Gulch brought thosuands of prospectors, trades- men, and adventurers. Gold fever reached its peak with the Confederate Gulch strike in 1865. Henderson Gulch sprang up in 1865, and Henderson City mushroomed near the diggings southwest of Hall. In its heyday, Henderson Gulch sup- ported 1,000 people and produced over a million dollars in gold. Garnet and the surrounding area poured out three and a half million dollars in gold. Bear Town, near Bearmouth, was the center for the Bear Town Roughs and was once considered as the site for the State Capital. The Mullan Trail, completed in 1862, was a main artery to the west for pack trains carrying goods from Fort Benton, head of navigation on the Mis- souri, to Walla Walla, Washington Territory. New Chicago sprang into existence as an overnight stop along the trail and as a station for fresh horses. Lawlessness and trickery were oddly mingled with culture and refine- ment. Outlaws, claim jumpers and rustlers were handled by vigilantes. Drummond townsite, originally a fur trader's camp, came to be known as Packer's Ranch during the 60's.

GAMBLING 70’s New Chicago of the 70's was a rip-roaring, high-spirited town boasting of two general stores, two hotels, a church, a school, a livery stable and a number of saloons and gambling houses. Many a poke of gold dust was won or lost on horse racing bets. The steadier strain of miners took out homesteads, sent East for their wives and settled down to carve a home out of the valley. Life was a gamble—many died or gave up and went else- where. Making a living and providing for a family was serious business. Only the sturdy and determined could withstand the sifting of the frontier life. Edwardsville, formerly Packer's Ranch, was growing but was still overshadowed by New Chi- cago. In 1870, the first cattle were brought into the valley. Mining was still important. The menace of troublesome Indians was lessened. Settlers could import more food and furniture now that the Civil War was ended.

Buchanan Gerry McGuire Victor Gardner Eugene Donaldson Willis Manley Charles Cooksley n GAY 90’§ The people of the 90's were characterized by enterprise, relentless activity, and contempt for danger or privation. Hospitality was general and unaffected. There was a rough, though genuine, courtesy much in vogue among the pi- oneers. In spite of the endless toil, they found time for gaiety and laughter. Barn dances, turkey shoots, sewing bees and wedding parties were always well attended festive occasions. The harshness of the frontier had faded. The state underwent many changes. With the coming of the railroads, the usefulness of the steamboat was at an end. The last commercial boat left Fort Benton in 1890. In 1893, the Montana State Agricultural College at Boze- man was opened, and in 1895, the Montana State University. The silver crash came in 1897. Granite, one of the greatest silver mining towns in Montana, became a ghost town overnight. This town once had a population of 3,000 people. Drummond was gaining its stride and had become a sizeable town. The pioneers were passing on; the frontier was gone; but the imprint of this era could never be erased.
