The event to bo commemorated Is coo of wide-reaching Importance and ot long-endur ing Intercut. It made a vast -Industrial revolution and aroused the human mltid to higher activity. Fifty years ago the Pacific luilf of the earth , tbo vast region that cjcnds Its waters from the slopes of four continents to the greatest ot oceans , was bound In the bends of savagery or torpidity. Its quiet was uot disturbed by the whistle of the railway or the cry of the newsboy two of the char acteristic symbols of civilization. Austra lia iv a a prUon pen ; Japan a recluse ; tho. only chips-that vlt-ltoJ California or the coast to the northward came for hides , lul- low , whales or furs ; and the" other shores of our ocean were nearly as dull. Marshall's shout that he had found gold echoed and re-echoed so loudly through all civilized countries that they were moused to an activity previously unknown. Cal ifornia aprlciR at cnco Into a high state of enlightenment. She .not only developed her own mineral wealth with magical speed , but by her missionaries of the pick and pan she cptncd the mlues of our ccUst from Arizona to Alaska , ted even those of Australia. She I'.oured out more than $1,500,000,000 of her own gold Into the channels cf trade and btlmuilUcd toe HelRJiborlng states and ter ritories to add ? 500,000,000 more of that vast turn.

PATRIOTIC CALIFORNIA. When our union was In Imminent danger , . when vast , armies occupying an area large enough for a great nation were arrayed against the stars and stripes , when the wel fare of America was so greatly Imperiled 'that many brave and wlso men feared and oven bellevcJ that disunion was Inevitable In that awful crisis the gold of California came 'to the rcucuc and helped "greatly to save our country from the fearful evils that would have Inevitably accompanied dual disruption. 'Besides widening the area and Increasing the. spread of culture , California made many J | valuable contributions to original thought.

Thcso glorious achievements , these ' -great contributions , to culture , these remarkable cyen'ta which our'city has witnessed , to j I which she owes her birth and In many ot which oho played a large part these results of Marshall's gold discovery , deserve to bo commemorated In a magnificent festival at the completion of the first half century , the only opportunity of the kind for this gtnora- tlsn ; and therefore we Invite you to aid us In a worthy celebration of the Golden Jublleo ° ' California on January 24 , 1S9S.

Thcso licncOta are by no means small , and their value will bo largely Increased by the success of our Jubilee celebration , which , In turn , must depend for Its success upon the liberality and public spirit of our citizens.

The first discovery of gold made In what Is now Montana was In 1SCO , on Gold crock , now called Pioneer. In the fall cf 1S62 eras-s hopper creek , or East Eanaick , diggings were discovered by a party of Immigrants on their way to Florence , Idaho , and then follaweJ t'.io discoveries oP Cedar gulch In the .iprlns ot 1SG3 by Bill Falrwcather , Carney Hughes , Henry Edgar , Tom Cosvers , S. T. Hauscr of Helena , and Jim Stuart. Stuart vai the leader of this iparty , who had started en au exploring expedition of the Yellowstcao fo.- the purpose of determining how far up that river It would be navigable for steamers. The discovery of gold In Idiho was In 1SCO also. T4io Spokane Spokesman-Review- that year Captain Pierce , with a party from Slsklyou county , California , started on a pros pecting trip In the Clcarwater mountains , guided by a Nez Pcrce Indian womin nimcd Jane. Plerco had been told by the woman Jane of the existence of a bis diamond In t'icse mountains , and he firmly believed her story , but to get a party together Pierce rep resented that It was for a prospecting trip. After getting Into the mountains one of the l > arty 'found gold In a small meadow. This j was called Ore Flno diggings. This was fol lowed by other discoveries made In 1SG1 , 1SG2 and 1S63 the Elk City , Warren's and Inrenco diggings , then the Boise basin mines. Gold had been discovered on the bars of the Columbia river near the mouth of tbo "cokane and Pend' ' d'Orellle rivers , on the Slmllkameca and Natchez rivers In 1S5S , all hen In Washington .territory. In the spring of 18G5 a man named Robert- eon came out of the Coeur d'Alena mountains after provisions. Robertson cald he had struck some rich placer ground on what he railed Trout creek , to the west of the Old Mission , ! a the Coeur d'Alene range. During the summer of that year Robertson sue- : eeded In raising the blggr-st stampede ever lad In that country. Itnas estimated at the : lmo that there were , during t'jo summer of ISGS , 10,000 men In the Coeur d Alone moun tains , and they did not make a location. Robertson had last hla bearings and could not find his discoveries. This grand stampede pretty well drained tbo Boise Gasln and Ore Flno of miners. A great majority of them went Into the Bitter Root and Hell Gate mountains , discovering Cedar , Moose creek. Bear gulch and other illggtaga. Up to the year I860 not one loca- tlcn of quartz had been made west from Michigan to Oregon and worked. The first quartz mill ever started in Montana was on Rattlesnake creek , at a olace called Argents. Some quartz locations wcro made In the vicinity of Butte and In the range dividing Hie Prickly Pear and Dear Lodge valleys. But It was many years before they were worked , as but little attention then was paid to quartz ledges. Plerce's dlsovery In I860 , thirty-seven years ago , was the opening up of this upper country. Within a quarter of a century will placer mlnlag give way to' quartz mining In Alaska ? The placer miner Is the pioneer there , as well as bore. of Montana. HELENA , Dec. 27.
