Trail of gold under Helena streets tells of boomtown dream
Helena Montana story recalls last century prospectors who tunneled under Main Street to Pan yellow dirt. Four men struck rich in the Last Chance Gulch area and helped build Helena into Montana's capital with dredges thrashing on Main Street and a city of hopeful miners thriving amid poverty. Over 50 million dollars worth of gold has come from this region in seventy five years, with much remaining unseen beneath the city.

Winter Lawn Care For A Stronger Deep Root System
The article explains how cold alone won’t damage lawns but poor drainage and repeated freezing and thawing can cause winter injury. It advises feeding, soil preparation, and dense reseeding to develop deep roots, with precise rates: four pounds of complete plant food per 190 square feet in fall, and four pounds per 100 square feet when preparing new lawns. Water thoroughly, avoid very short or long mowing, and seed at four to five pounds per 1,000 square feet. Continuous watering through germination is required for three to four weeks.
