They Struck Oil.

Helena Journal THE Pleasant View
Mining district, five miles north of
Victor, Montana, is the scene of one of
the most curious freaks of nature that
ever occurred on the American continent.
John W. Hickey and his employs in the
mines in blasting encountered II vast res
crvoir of natural gas, which exploded
with the powder. The conclusion was
terrific. The mountain was rent assun-
der. The gas proceeded from vast
subterranean lake of petroleum the latter
being ignitcd, throws up a flame over
two hundred feet high. The oil flows
at intervals of about forty minutes, and
the effect IS strikingly grand. Snow
capped peaks are illuminated for miles
around and the roar of the escaping gas
is indeed terrific. The oil is flowing at
the rate of eight thousand barrels every
twenty. four hours and as it rusl,es and
roars through the ranches in the foot
hills, it causes great CONSERVATION to the
bravest and stoutest men, who never eX-
pccted it and are entirely unprepare.l
for such IN appalling calamity. Great
excitement prevails.

Struck q Bats Nest.

4 peculiar strike was made a
short distance from Wardner, Idaho,
the other day, and is a subject
worthy of investigation. John and
Jim Westley, two prospectors and
miners, have been working upon a
claim of their own up Snow Shoe
gulch all winter, running tunnel.
1t is crosscut tunnel intended to
reach the vein in about 50 feet.
They were in $50 feet few day s
ago and ever since after each shot
they hurried eagerly back into the
tunnel to see if it had been broken
through. On one of these occasions
they were startled by something
fluttering in the air, aud upon ex-
animation found the tunnel full of
bats. The repulsive looking Great
lures, with their bead-like eyes
glistening in dim candle light, gave
the place a weird and CHASTITY APP
pearance. A little investigation,
however, showed where they
were from. The last shot had brok
en- through the foot wall and into
the vein where the quartz was more
or less loose with some cavities. In
these cavities WAS the home of the
bats and a number of them were in
there. The question is how did they
get there. The rock through which
the tunnel ran is tight and solid, the
ground on the surface shows no
openings and the point where the
tunnel struck the vein is about 100
deep. There is much speculation
regarding it, some arguing that
when the assuring took place the
bats got access to the vein, which be-
came subsequently filled with debris
and that the bats have lived there
throughout the ages. 1t is more
probable that they have an entrance
and exit by some way that has not
yet been discovered. But it was an
unexpected find, and the boys think
that if there were only market for
bats they would have fortune.

AN INTERESTING COLLECTION.

State Librarian Wheeler has
some rare and curious relics in the
collection belonging to the State
Historical Society. The most com
plete collection of Indian curios has
recently been received from Mr.
Allen, of Jefferson City, who was
agent of the Blackfeet Indians in
1882. These occupy cabinet pre-
pared for the purpose and while not
actually belonging to the society
they probably will be by purchase
The specimens are of the finest kind
consisting of beaded moccasins, wal
bonnets, arrows, belts, pipes, child
ren's dolls dressed in buckskin and
ornamented with beads, and last, but
not least, women's skirt of buck
skin. This unique dress is fashion
ed somewhat upon the ancient Gree
ian model and is decorated withmore
than 200 elk's teeth, or tusks, which
are of ivory. 1t will be especially
interesting to the ladies as showing
the highest style of decoration OF
under garments by the hauten OF
the Blackfeet tribe.
Col Wheeler is also receiving as
fast as they can be prepared, com
plete colored maps Of the locality OF
every important engagement during
the late war. These are be ing pre-.
pared under the supervision Of Sec.
retary of war Tracy, and will accom-.
pany the official record of the Union
and confederate armies. The society
is in possession Of 247 bound vol
umes of Montana newspapers, from
1865 up to date and other data that
will be of the greatest value in pre-
par'ng history of the early settle
ment of Montana.-Ex.

--one right after the other-the last one,
about 4 o'clock was more severe than
the others. The rain poured in torrents
for awhile, flooding many of the streets
from curb to curb. Lightning struck the

ran down the wire clothes line to the
fence of Mrs. Lowman's, next door. split

Dwellings Destroyed by Fire al
Jessups


Two vacant dwelling houses owned by
the estate of j. +. Lowekamp, at Jes-
sups. Anne Arundel county, were de-
stroyed by fire Wednesday evening. Two
small boys, who were playing In the
road, gave the alarm, and the whole
population of the little village formed a
bucket brigade to save other property.
Owing to the wind and heat the fire made
its way to the dwelling-h houses occupied
by Messrs. Frank Merson md John Case.
Both of these dwellings caught fire, but
were saved from serious damage. The
large frame canning house and store-room
also owned by the estate of J. +. Lowe
kamp, and which was about thirty feet

took fire several times While the fire

Already the proposed lecture course is

in regard to securing season ticket is
the fact that the ticket will be transfera-

for q season ticket and you will never re-

the first lecture in the course which will
be delivered some time In October The
necessity for such early action is due to
the fact that the dates for the lecturers
must be booked early, and If the work
should be put off until later in the sea

filled with men having open dates. OF
