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.
