gram. ) Two hundred thousand head of cat
tle are perishing from cold and hunger on the
ranges west of the Missouri river , in this
state. Two weeks ago a heavy fall of snow
pre-ceded by twenty-four boura of rain , cov
ered the ground to a depth of twelve to Fix-
teen Inches. Cattle were uwiblo to get food
and have since drifted Into the ravines and
fcttlements for Hheltcr. Hundreds" of them
have puccumbed to starvation. Three days
ago a tdmllar storm set In. and baa prevailed
with unrelenting vigor ever since.
Cattle owners early began shipping
to market stock that was almost
too weak to stand , and the last
storm , with a solid coating of Ice over the
deep mow. assures" heavy loss. None of
ihppe cattle can 'be driven through the mow
to the railroads. Thousands of tons of hay
arc stacked on the can side of the river , and
no Flock to feed It to.

This Is B story of Congressman Amos
Cummlngs's experience in the recently
ended campaign. It is perfectly true , says
tbe Washington Post , for I have it from
Mr. Cummlngs's own lips. He supported
the regular democratic ticket , as you know.
but for reasons of his own he avoided as
far as possible all discussion of tbe cam
paign's financial issues. Secure in tbc
friendship of every policeman and letter
carrier in his district , bo pot on swimmingly
till almost the very last speech be ma.le.
It was In a great hall , and he bad a large
audience. He talked about national honor.
and thci flag , and the equality of roan , and
the rights of the mastes. with a twist nr
two of tbe British lion's tall by way of
variety. It was a great speech. Suddenly
It wai interrupted by a man down In tbe
front row.
"Tell us about tbe ratio ! " be cried , and
he pronounced the Qrit syllable to rhyme
with hash. Mr. Cummlngs paused , per
plexed. Just then his eye caught tbe eye
of an especially friendly policeman. No
words were exchanged , but an Instant later
the strong hand of the law descended on
tbe collar of the Inquiring man. lie was
yanked clear out of bis seat and bustled to
the door.
"I'll have you understand , " said tbc po

Twcatr mllw north ef t ) e capital city of
Montana. n * llng among the peak * of the
Hitter Hoot range , is thpmnlnlng town of
Marysville , born , reared and practically sus
tained by tb * crop of gold from the Drum
LurniDon mine. Recently the town sue-
talned a severe business shock by the
sudden reduction of the working force of
the famous mine. One hundred and fifty
of the 800 men employed were laid off on
November i. two t mp mills ceased opera
tion * , and an air of gloom settled on the
town.
The general belief In the locality is that
the Drum Lummon hs eeen Its best days ;
that It will soon be to Montana what the
Comstock is to Nevada a mighty hole In
the ground. This tjellef Is not entertained
by the managers. They declare the great
mine Is by no means exhausted , and that
the reduction of force Is necc iary because
the ore brought up from the recently cpened
1.000-foot level cannot be profitably worked.
This was the climax of a series of great
hopes dashed on barren rocks. During the
present year extensive operations were
prosecuted , which were expected to yield
handsomely , but disappointment was the re
sult.
CONDITION' OF THE PLANT.
A similar situation In the history of this
great mine was reached three years ago.
although at that time It was not generally
kno\\n to the public. At that time a num
ber of experts were sent over to examine
the mine and report upon Us outlook for
the future. Several of these reported that
they could not find enough < ro In sight
to keep the mills going three month * , and
one of them wrote : " 1 cannot see one
month's supply of ore for your mills In
reserve. " A change was Immediately made
in the undercround workings , however ,
under the direction e-f the manager , with
the result that 250.000 tons of ere have
since been developed and milled out of this
Identical ground. This wonderful mine has
produced $13.000.000 in twelve years , and
during that time it has kept 110 stamps
In continuous operation.
The Montana Mining company at present
has a cash balance with bankers In Helena
of ff.C.000 : unrealized million. $10.003. In ad
dition to a rcierxe fund In London of $73-
000. Regarding the position at the mine. It
Is reported thst the stores with which it is
equipped amount In value to $14.000 and In

from the treatment of the tailings of the

A LUCKY PRO = P CTOR.
The history of the Drpni . .Luinmon mine
and the vtccltb it bestowed on its owners
rivals tte lurid talcs of Aladdin's cave.
The original discoverer was Thomas Cru- .
nsw a batikT and capitalist of Helena , and
formerly brotber-ln-law of Senator Tom
Carter. The ctory of his persistent search
for fortune does not differ .from that of
countless prospectors. But comparatively
few of them who struck. It rich struggled so
Ions and as hopefully as-Cruse , braving the
elements , as ucll as hunger , to reapvthe
reward denied tt > many. ' .Stories of Cruse's
struggles and hardship : are numerous
among the old cottiers on th > Missouri val
ley. anJ not a few of'them have boasted
of furnishing supplies ' "on tick" to the
hardy Irish prrspector. 3Aoft of these have
been denied by Cruse , : 'ho' Is decidedly
averse to publlcatlons''caWfalsied to 'weave a
golden halo about his head. He now at
tends strictly to the business of loaning
money and is reputed to have more ready
cash end to drive- closer bargain than any
banker in Montana. He Is president of the
Thomas Cruse Savings bank at Helena , ife
the largest Individual hcldcr of government
securities In ttc west , and stands near the
top of the state's millionaire list. Of mort
gages he has an abandtnce and could pinch
out or save an ordinary western town as
easily as Aladdin found lib famous cave.
He Is withal as plain-going and Indifferent
to pleasure as when be wandered about the
hills twenty-five years ago in search of
"float , " as the' first indication cf a mine is
called.
Some people In Helena will point the tour
ist to Cruse , and say they remember him
when he couldn't get trusted for a sack of
flour. When these stories are printed by
the Montana newspaper gossips Cruse will
write a card of denial , and say that he
could aluays get flour v. hen he wanted it.
He Trevor that may be. all old-timers re
member this man when he lived alone In a
little cabin in the lower gulch In the winter
and tramped the bills by summer.
REWARD OP PERSEVERANCE.
Crute stood it yiar by year. Sow belly
and hard tack made up his bill of fare and
be did not complain. In an old worn pair of
jumpers he climbed over the hills looking
for prospects , and when his work failed
was content to work by the day in placers
for enough money for grub. Occasionally
some one staked him , but he never found
anything. He had no companions because
he had no money , and he was content to
work end live alone.
The prospector is In most Instances a
romantic and Interesting character. His
mind is filled with mountain lore ; he catches
the spirit of solitude from long association
with the hills and canyons , and in time be
comes as quaint in manner , and original In
talk as the two Wellers. What a fathomless
fount of stories Is found In this harmless
Ulysses cf the hills ! Good stories , too , if
the truth does get frayed and ragged before
the finish.
Tom Cruse belonged to this field of fic
tion -when be made such a strike as was
never known before or since In Montana.
Ife found it on the lower end of a mountain
range ending in St. Louis gulch , twenty
miles north of Helena. This gulch , like the
others , had been a swarming- ground for
gold hunters until the diggings bad been
worked out and left to reward the patient
and easily satisfied toil of John Chinaman.
Cruse was still at his tireless search when
he stumbled one day across a bit of gold
quartz float. This , as all miners know , had
been washed away from the mother lode In
a Journey of centuries. The thing to do is
to follow It for other traces. This Cruse
did. Ills keen eye followed his footsteps
until anothzr bit of quartz'appeared on the
washed down mountain fides. Day after
day he followed this golden trail until bis
pick struck the long-souRht eboot of ore
sticking out fro.T > the' mountain side. It
was not a foot wide , but the old man knew
that there wcs something below.
Thia was the discovery of1 the Drum Lurn-
mon. the greatest gold-producing quartz ever
found In this country , and the first to be pur
chased In Montana by an Bngllah syndicate.
It has paid for Itself over and over again
and today represents tbe lUrgeet Investment
for machinery ever placed In a gold mining
prope-rty. Where Crupe's pick struck the ore
stands the entrance to the Cruse tunnel. 1,000
feet lone , and running down from thU I ? the
deepest mining shaft in Montana. Cut from
solid rock at the end of the Cruse tunnel Is
a great chamber and herein U a pplendld
hoist , rivaling the fluent In the world for
cpeed and safety. ThU tunnel with Its
fbaft is but part of the mine. Two other
tunnels quite as lone run In from the other
side of the hill , and two other hoists quite
as large as the giant whirled the ore by night
and by day from the lower levels. Tbe.se
levels , running at all angles , are BO timbered
and painted that under the white rays of the
Incandescent lamp * the mental impression
left li that of a weird and grue ome resting
place for the dead to come. Th tllence In
these deplho \ broken by the dull and heavy
click of the rnoimer Cornish pumps churning
water upward from the shaft bottoms and
the grind of the ore care coining from the
drift * .
Single-handed and alone Crut * started in
to find tbt ? size of the vein. He bored a
tunnel COO feet into tbe mountain and found
the wi 't ' > t gal.caj \ t er r-tro k In this t . . ,

1'antes ' take wc-ond place In run for lurfc anJ
would have tarneJ the head of many a man
lets fortunate than Cru e. Not s > o with him.
He knew better than any one the value and
future of this property and he wa willing
to wait until the golden floodgates were fairly
opened. The man's nerve w s b wt rtown
when be went to the ground one day and
found fnar tough-looking pro jctort keeping
gna-'t.

as Nerrou * Johnvon.

Crae Mid nothing more to the hired men ,
but stuck a Ions * lxhootcr In hli boot
leg and went over to Helena. He walkeJ
down Main street until he met the leader of
the syndicate. After they had exchanged
the time of day Cru e > hand dropped slowly
down to the elx-rfiooter and remained there.
"I understand. " he said , "that there it n job
to jump me mine , an' I JUK thought I'd
come In town to say that every man who
Etarte-3 It will find crape on his door before
the Job Is finished "
SALE OF THE MINE.
Nothing more was tald and when Crusx ; re
turned the next day the jumpers had lifted
their stakes snd left. It was a long time ,
however , before Cruse enjoyed the full
fruition of his toll. He was not dazed by his
good fortune and lie well knew the value of
hi find. Various local syndicates were or
ganized to purchase the mine , which had been
named the Drum Lummon , after the county
in Ireland where Cruse wa ? born. Times ,
however , grew easier , for Cruse could borrow
money on the Mrength of hl discovery. He
did not blow this In , as many a wary and
hopeful miner would have dofle. but chose to
wait until It came In a lump. He built a
small ten-stamp mill , which he was working
while the deal which culminated In the Kale
of the mine was being planned.
ThU rale Is still talked about whc-n old
mining men pet together. It was the first
Investment of Enpllrh capital In Montana
mines and was brought about by smart men-
smart enough to make themselves wealthy
on commissions of the rale. One of the ablest
was Colonel Sum Word , tben living In
Virginia CKy. He was just the man to tnlk
to the foreign Investor , t.ecaufe he knew the
country and could tell about It. Hugh Me-
Quild , editor of the Helena Independent ,
w-ap let Irto the deal because he was cloo to
Crure and suppose-d to have Influence with
him. Colonel W. C. Child , who killed him
self In Helena three years ago because of
financial troubles , was also let in. as were
several others who happened to be friends
of the promoters. Eerh made from $10.000
to } 200.003 out of the sale.
When the local pipc- > were laid Colonel
Word brought the attention of London
capitalists to the mine. 'Expert ? were sent
over by Mr. Al Chadbourne. the famous
London mining broVer. reportr were rent from
Montana to London and ba"k acaln. and
offers were made to Cruse and refui-ed. It
was a long and tryltic pull to get hold of the
mine , tie value of which hart been well de
termined by this time. Crure beJd off for a
much larger sum than the mine with its
great vein was really worth.
The end came at lail when Cruse came Into
Helena one evening with a compromise propo-
tltlon. which was aecepte-d. The purchase
was closed in the back room of a bank and
when the meeting adjourned he stuffed a
check for $750,000 in the pocket of his worn
Jumpers with the agreement that he shouM
receive stock In the new company to the
value of $1.250.000 at the par value of $5 a
f'-iare. The Drum Lummon wap sold and
Cruse has never since ceased kicking him
self for palling It so cheap. At the same
time he was lucky enough to sell bis bold-
Incs when the stock reached the top figure
J25 a share.
Hfltllll ) SHIPS.
They \Vi-re Pound In.NT n Portion of
Diilillii by SV T Workmen.
The excavations in connection with the
main drainage works In Dublin have resulted
In some discoveries of considerable Interest ,
particularly to the antiquarian. Unfortu
nately those who come on the finds are not
enthuolaptlc searchers Into the secrets of
the pan. and they did not overexert them-
selvej In the work of investigation. When
the trench for the main sewer at Upper
Ormond quay was being dug , rays the Dublin
Independent , the diggers came on an old
ship , which was buried in the ground some
twenty feet down , nearly opposite the head
of Eait Arran wrcet. The direction of the
ship was at right angles to the quay -wall ,
tve bow projecting toward up river.
The vessel was evidently swallowed up In
the rands which formed the banks of the
river long ere the present quays were built.
The width of the ship is > fifteen feet. Its
length Is an unknown quantity , for thow
who found the vessel simply cut away ar
much as was neceftary to construct the
sewer. Even Its depth was not. ascertained ,
because the bottom of the new sewer is only
some t o feet underneath the point where
the gunwales of the boat begin , and the
workmen did not go to a greater depth than
they were compelled for main drainage pur
poses. The material of which the s > Mp war
made 1 ? oak. but owing to Its long stay in
the ground the wood Is stained almost black.
A peculiar feature in the construction of
the vessel is that the timbers are almost ull
fastened together by means of oak plugs ,
there being very little Iron employed. From
the charred appearance of the deck timbers
it is considered probable that an attempt
was made to set fire to the ship , but the
fire did not spread , as the side timbers show
no traces of burning. Near the top of the
chip was found a quantity of coal , and a
fourteen-pound cannon ball was also dis
covered. Higher up the quay , almost op
posite the city sheriff's office , another ship
was found. This one. which lay In the di
rection parallel to the quay wall , had also
evidently been swallowed up by the sands
which used to border the Llffey In its prog
ress through the Dublin of other days. The
same peculiarities of construction as were
observed in the case of the first ship were
noticed In that of the cccoad. The-re did not
however , appear to have been an attempt
to set the boat on fire.
The workmen express their belief that the
ships are as old as the days of Drian the
latter name being rather a familiar refer
ence to the conqueror of Clontarf. Thp
presence of a cannon ball would seem to do
away with this theory , for at the time of
the historic conflict firearms were unknown
and the gentle art of projecting heavy mis
siles at one's fellow creatures by means of
artillery was not employed for the spread
of civilization until Brian tbc Ilrave had
been In the grave for several centuries. It
is probable , houevcr. that the ships are at
least as old as the time of King Charles I
or even of Queen Elizabeth.

For several months past experiments have

AMUSEMENTS.
The Whltrey Optra company now present
ing DeKoven and Smith's successful opera
"Rob Roy" at the Crclgnton , will close
the engagement at that theater with two
performances today , a matinee being given
at 2:30. :
"Town Topics. " which JE taid to be a
sparkling farce of no mean pretensions , will
be Been at the Crclghton for two nights ,
commencing Sunday matinee , December C.
For tomorrow ( Sunday ) matinee and night
the return of "The Twelve Temptations" Is
announced at Boyd's. Tlut this will be
pleasing to large numbers of theater-goers ,
even coming so soon after the recent ver ;
successful engagement at that playhouse ,
there can be but little doubt. This well known
spectacle has retained 1U popularity ex
ceedingly well , which may be accounted
for by the fact that Mr. Yale ketps his
beautiful scenery In good condition and
presents a company of up-to-date come
dians , pretty girls and commendable special
ties.
Sol Smith Russell will play his annual
engagement at Boyd's Tuesday and Wednes
day nights with a matinee on Wednesday.
apj > earing In his latest , and it is said his
greatest play. "A Bachelor's Romance , "
written for him by Martha Morton. Mr.
Russell's remarkable triumphs are but the
Just reward of his painstaking and artistic
cllorts on behalf of the American drama.
He aims to present clean und wholesome
plays , embodying In his characterization the
highest and noblest instincts. Mr. Russell'e
company includes such well known people
as George Alison. Alfred Hudson , George
Denham , Arthur Forrest. Addiron Pitt.
Bertha Creighton , Beatrice Moreiand , Jose
phine Thompson and Fanny Addlson Pitt.
"The Girl I Left Behind Me. " which comes
to thu Creighton for three nights , commenc
ing with a matinee tomorrow , is a thrilling
play , whose dash , action , deeds of gallantry ,
woven Into which is a pretty romance , will
explain to those who witness it why
It scored such phenomenal runs In the large
cltlre.
The scene Is a post on the frontier and
the time during the wicrd ghost dances of
the- Indians , which roused them into a frcnry
of wrath and Impelled them to declare war
against the white man. The beautiful
daughter of the post is affianced to Lieu
tenant ParR-w , but love Lletenant Hr.wks-
worth. Psrlow knows of this love , but Is
not gallant enough to relieve his promised
wife of a tie that Is odious. The two lieu
tenants and a detachment of men engage
t io Indians. Eomo of the party are cut
off and are massacred , because Parlow
proved too cowardly to go to the rescue.
He lays th cowardice at the door of hs !
rival , who proves the charge falte by riding
at midnight through the Indian line for
succor for the pwt. As ho leaves bis sweet-
he-art. who had theretofore been too
womanly to tell him her heart , she throws
her arms urcund him and says : "I love you. "
while Parlow skulks , in the knowledge that
the general knows be has lied. There is
a battle willthe Indians , plenty of blood
and poA-dfer , and the hero once more proves
his gallantry , while the poltroon is disgraced
and resigns.
It has beer , decided to open the advance
sale &f seats for May Irwln'a performances
on Monday morning next. This is done on
account of the number of inquiries which
have already been made at the box oflice of
the Crelijbton for reserved places. The in
dications are , therefore , that Mlns Irwln
will rocelve a weleoiae something In the
nature of an ovation. It ought to be borne
in mind that Allss Irwin will give only
three performances , and that "The Widow
Jonro , " last season's big hit. will be given
on Friday night and at the Saturday mati
nee , while Mtes Irwln's new comedy will
have its first production on any stage on
Saturday evening. MUs Irwin's cclcbraud
negro bongs formed one of the roost strik
ing feature * of her performances here last
season. She baa a fine new collection to
spring on her Omaha admirers next week.
Both "The Widow Jones" and the new
comedy will have budgets of specialties ,
songs and dances , which will be entirely
new to local theater goers.

Duryea Is a small mining village tlirco
miles north of Plttston and there is a largo
colony of foreigners there who work in
the mines. They celebrated Thanksgiving
day principally by drinking and the tavern

Several of the residents of the town ssy that
the ulgbt was a veritable re/lgn of terror ,
in uhlch it was unsafe to be at large , and.
the assertion is made that fully a score ot

pointx in various sections of the place. Tha
shoatlng occurred about 3 o'clock this mornIng -
Ing and the Eton * of Its origin told by ;
Paller , the tavern keeper. Is the only ono
yet beard. He says that a number ot Po-
laudcrs were drinking In his place , when a
party of young Americans entered. After
much drinking they began to taunt the for
eigners. This led to a quarrel. In which
the Americans assumed the aggressive and
set upon the Polanders with earns. The
first blow had no sooner been struck than
the foreigners drew their guns and bullets
began to fly. The Americans beat a retreat.
The shooting was FO general and promiscu
ous that it is Impossible to tell who fired the
fatal shots. Lambert was carried away by
his friends and Motsli and Belts were found
on the floor when the fusllade was over.
The two wounded Polanders were taken to
thc-Ir homes. There their wounds were
dressed.
The authorities promptly started an In
vestigation and this afternoon arreste-d
