PROSPECTORS ROA M HILLS IN MONTANA HELENA, Mont., August 18» Quartz prospectors are loaming the Montana hills, gulches and abandon ed mining camps this summer in such numbers as to arouse specula tion among the early settlers at to whether the cry of “geld’’ again may lure hundreds into the areas where few men have ventured sinc e the early sixties. Free milling ore veins have long since been exploited, and in most cases abandoned by the individual prospector, to be taken over by the larger companies or operated on a small scale by miners. Gold laden sands in th e creek beds where old placer camps were located have been panned and repanned, yielding millions in the early sixties until bed rock grata turned the fortune seekers to other fields. Forced to discontinue the placer mining on a large scale, the pioneer prospectors are now enlisting younger Jtlood in the search for quartz, hoping to dis cover veins of sufficient size to war rant construction of stamp mills and reduction works. Reports from the early-day camps indicate renewed activity at Vir ginia City and Alder Gulch, one of the richest of early-day sites, while from Confederate Gulch, 30 miles east of here, come stories of oc casional nuggets in sluice boxes. • There is no use in starting trouble.

By virtue of his achievements in the Olympic games Harold M. Osborne of the Illinois A. C. has won an en during place among America’s pre mier track and field athletics of all time. Osborne won two gold med als by his brilliant victories in the running high jump and decathlon at Faris, thereby reaching the zenith of a long and remarakble career. The one man, aside from Os borne himself, to whom a lion’s share of credit is due for the ath lete’s record is Coach Harry Gill, who has been training men at the University of Illinois for 20 years. Gill discovered and developed Os borne shortly after he arrived at the university, an obscure aspirant for honors in the world of spots. Osborne, who possesses intercol legiate, National A. A. U. and Olympic trophies, won his first im portant title, the Western Confer ence high jump championship, only four years ago.

And how they make the bachelors dance to the tune they sing is a caution. A lady with a flirting eyelash and saucy eyebrow can take a per fectly good, honest-to-goodness he man who has had years of experi nece staying single, and when she says “Go!” off he goes with a bang, leaving untold distaster in his wake, as he crashes off his porch of smug, selfish complacence. That’s exactly what happens in “Daddies,” the latest Werner Bros, production. But, mind you, folks, it happens to five—a whole poker hand of hardened, skinflint male spinsters, whose united stand against Dame Marriage doesn’t even phas e the cock-sure Eves of lusci ous charms. Do the girls know how to maka them do it? Five conclusive r,n swers to that question cm be seen in the picture, “Daddies,” rhe comedy drama of bachelor life, re plete with hilarious incidents that augers ill for the peace of confirm ed bachelors. “Daddies,” the newest Warner Bros. Classics of th e Screen will be shown at the Rylander theater today and Tuesday. FOR QUICK SERVICE AND HEAVY HAULING PHONE 121 WOOTTEN TRANSFER CO.
