Railroad Washed Away, at Cabinet,
the First Station West of the
Montana Line.
Regular East Bound Train Delayed
Twelve Hours in Consequence
Of the Disaster.
A Special Number Made Up 1T Helena
to Accommodate Travellers Bound
for the East,

Reports received from the west last even
ing are to the effect that tremendous
cloud burst occurred at Cabinet, the first
station beyond the Montana line in Idaho.
There is bridge across small stream at
Cabinet, at the headwaters of which consid-
cradle timber is being cut for lumber. The
clouds gathered in dark mass in the
mountains, and the food gates Of heaven
were opened for short time. precipitating
great quantities of water in that section.
Trees, saw logs and cord wood were car
ried down the stream, creating havoc in
their course, especially to the Northern Pa
cific railroad, which was washed out, and
caused delay of the east-bound passenger
train for twelve hours. The bridge stood all
right, but the embankmsnts on either side
were washed out, being unable to with
stand the pressure of the flood. Forum
ately the accident to the road was dlscov-
cred in time and the train stopped to await
necessary repairs. A gang of laborers have
been busy at work since the washout and it
is expected the damage will be repaired in
time for the train to arrive by 1880 this
morning. To facilitate travel and prevent
any. unnecessary delay special train was
made up by General Agent Edgar, of this
city, and started east at 7:3O last evening,
and will arrive in st. Paul on time.
A cloud burst in the Occur d'Alenes is
something unusual. The trouble hereto
fore has been with the melting snow, but
this has not caused any serious inconven-
fence as yet. The high water of that re-
gion generally occurs in June and this
year probably will prove no exception to
the rule. But the Northern Pacific road is
we'll secured against any ordinary flood. A
cloud-burst is difficult thing to guard
against. It is just as likely to precipitate
bowling food down hitherto dry ravine as
anywhere else.
In this instance, logs. trees and drift
wood were piled up alongside of the track
to such an extent as to form a dam. The
regular water course became clogged and as
result the embankment upon which the
road rested was gradually washed away,
leaving the rails and ties in bad shape for
night train. The worst trouble on that end
of the line during the past winter was
caused by snow-drifts and snow-slides, The
snow fall was unprecedented in that section
of country and throughout Washington.
Snow-slides in the Occur d Alenes have been
of frequent occurrence, but trouble from
this source is now past for the season, and
with the exception of an occasional wash
out to which all railroads are subject, the
Northern Pacific will enjoy season of un-
interrupted traffic. Trains in two sections
are passing west daily, carrying hundreds
of emigrants and immense quantities of
freight.

THE MINES OF MONTANA.
Tho Lightning Lode In Cataract Dfstris
and Other 1[inea.

Tho Lightning Lode In Cataract District
and Other Mines,
The tightening lode. adjoining the Cop
per Bell, and which is said to be ON the
same vein, has recently been bonded by
Forbes d Davis, of this city. The lead con-
tains the same rich character Of ore as the
Copper Bell, and has every indication of
being good mine when properly developed.
It is said to be the intention Of Messrs.
Forbes & Davis to work the property ex-
tensively during the coming season. Nego-
tiations are now going forward for machin-
cry and when this is secured and placed on
the mine the work of sinking the shaft will
begin. The Cataract is destined to be a
great mining camp in the near future. The
principal mines thus far developed are the
Copper Bell, Evening Star and Bullion.
But this year there will probably be many
others equally as good developed.
