DuillOu II. 1 NeWS-Mluer.
Sunday night, shortly after eleven
o'clock, James NJ. Bacon, a miner
employed in the Bullion mine, met
with a horrible death. He had just
gone to work, and was busy with all
up.lift from one level to another. He
stopped a nome t to rest and was
looking up, when a mass of rock
from above, without any warning,
fell directly upon him. A comrade
near by, heard the noise Of the cav
ing earth, and the voice of poor Ba-
con %exclaiming in a stifled way, two
or three times, 20 God!" Then moth
ing could be heard for a short time
but the labored breathing and dying
gasps of the unfortunate man. 1t
seems that he died from s%utfocation
rather than the weight of the rock
upon him. Every effort was made
to rescue him, but in vain. His face
was suftused with blood, on being
taken out. which is an evidence of
suffocation.

primitive one, being discovered some
thirteen years ago. 1t originally was
embraced within the limits Of the
Crow reservation, being segregated
and thrown open to occupation in
1882. Since then rapid strides of de-
velOpment have been going on, and
in a few years more will rank among
the bullion producing sections of
Montana.
The mineral belt is about 8 miles
wide, extending from the western
slope of Miller to the eastern slope of
the Henderson mountains and fifteen
miles long, running from the Wyom-

"In this broad Montana land where

form of salutation is somewhat
thusly: One shot fired through your
hat, "Good morning." Two shots
fired through your hat. "How are
YOU? glad to see you" Three shots
mean, "By jinkum! old fel., where
all summer? Here, shake" The
more bullets that 60 through your

without hitting you, the more cor
dial is the salutation intended"
