Mining Town once had Ball

Coast Leaguers
HELENA, Montana, Aug. 5.
Marysvllle, Montana, to he wiped off
the railroad map within a few weeks
aa It has been erased from recorda
In Its other activities, onco was tho
Koal of a race between two great
railway systems and In tho 30-odd
years of lbs life was the source, of
metals valued at not less than 100
million dollars. The town, Inciden
tally produced a baseball team with
a record of defeating all Pacific
Coast leaguu clubs of its day and of
sending several players to the major
leagues. A quarter of a century ago
Marysvillc had a population of 7500.
Petition of the Northern Pacific
railway to remove lta tracks from
Helena to Marysvillc relegates to the
backwoods what Is left of the one
time famous town and again it is to
become a stage coach town 15
miles from a railroad. Years ago
tho (ireat Northern, which lost the
race tor a terminus within the city,
and ended its line just outside the
boundary, abandoned Marysrllle and
gradually, as the mines worked out,
the surviving line limited its ser
vice until, during the past year, a
train operated only when there was
an accumulation of freight for its
haul.
Truly a ghost city, with a hand
ful of sharks and tumbled founda
tions left of its once bustling busi
ness district, scattered, weather
beaten houses outlining its resilience
section, possibly 50 or 60 families
claiming it as home. Marysville In
dicates its past glory only to the Im
aginative. The famous Drum Lummon mine,
chief source of its wealth. Is stlU be
ing worked sufficiently, It Is said, to
pay wages to a handful of men;
some other of the older mines are
operated on the same scale and there
are numerous prospects whose own
ers optimistically forecast a renewed
activity in the old camp. Neverthe
less, the Montana railroad commis
sion, after an exhaustive investiga
tion, has pricked the bubble y hope
and has given its consent to aban
donment of the railroad.
The Drum Lummon mine, discov
ery of Thomas Cruse, alone is said
to have produced $67,000,000 worth
of gold. Cruse sold the mine to a
London syndicate for $1,600,000
when the vein had just been scratch
ed. The new operators honeycomb
ed the surface of the hill and, so
the story goes, made millionaires in
Boston, Helena and New York, as
well as In England. Many other
mines paralled its development and,
from one of these, the Penobscot,
Nate Vestal brought down to Hel
ena what was then the largest bar
of gold in the world, valued at $50.

What is said lo have been one of
the first concentrators ever con

built below- the Drum Lummon to
work the tailings of tho famous
mine. Tho ruins of the giant plant
still mark the road to the city.
