NOT IN TEN YEARS
Has Such a Heavy Snowfall Been
Seen in Montana.

Special to the GloDe.
HELENA, Mont, March 3.-BetWeen
Feb. and March l there was scarcely a
day but more or less snow fell in Mon
tana. In conse quence there was a total
fall of about five feet i'll and around
Helena. In the hills and OH the table
lands throughout the state the fal
amounted to ten feet. No such amount
of snow has been seen in such a short
time since 1881. In sparsely settled dis
trlcts roads were impossible for teams.
Very little delay occurred on any of the
railroads, however, and no suffering
is reported from any locality. The
weather has been cold, the thermometer
nearing the neighborhood of zero; gen
orally dnder that. The only casualties
reported from that cause in the whole
month was the loss of party Of five
labOrerS who started out to find work
on the line OF the Great Northern road
about two weeks ago. Three were
found later, two frozen to death and
the other nearly so. The other two
have not been found. ssz@
The report reached here early this
morning that man had been found
frozen to death on the line of the motor
railway, one mile from town. The pO-
lice hurried out in carriage, but
on arriving there failed to
find the body. 1t had walked
off while the discoverers were at the
telephone calling the police. 1t is be-
lieved the man was drunk, and, recov-
ering pattially, walked off and may have
fallen into drift. The whole street
force of Helena is busy to-day cleaning
the mountains of snow from the streets.
This is considered necessary, as a sud-
den thaw would otherwise cause flood
thoroughfare. which is built along
gulch. The weather yesterday and to-
day was clear but cold. Cattle are re-
ported still in fine condition, and able at
most places to find feed on the ranges.
In some places, however, herds are be-
ing ted Oh hay.

Property Sold.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 3.-Ferdi-
nand Schlesinger returned yesterday
from New York, where he went to dis
pose of his railroad on the Northern
peninsula. Mr.. Schlesinger said the
road had been sold to a syndicate of
capitalists. Who they were, he said.
he did not know. all business trans
acted having been through New York
attorney. With the read went half of
the Chaplin mine and half interest in
the six steel steamers being built at
Cleveland. The Florence Iron River
mine had been disposed of, Mr.Schlesing-
er said, to other persons than those who
took the railroad. The Office of the
Chaplin niue Will remain in Milwaukee.
In mining circles there is much gossip
and many SurmiseS as to who compose
the sysdicate that took Mr. Schlesinger's
railroad off his hands. 1t is evident.
however, that the plan outlined by Mir.
Schlesinger, of having the output of the
Chaplin and other mines in the group
carried to the lake by railroad CON
trolled by the mine owners, and thence
shipped in their own ships to Lake
Erie ports, will be carried out about as
