Death of Tuck Lambert.

Information concerning the death
of Tuck Lambert in Alaska has
reached this city, He was one of
the b~est-known and one of the oldest
pioneers of Northern Montana, and
especially identified with the early
days of Fort Benton and the mining
camps of Barker and Neihart.
Death overlook him while he was
prospecting in company with 7. J.
Finnegan, formerly city marshal of
Fort Benton, at the head of Kusko-
win river in Alaska the latter part
of last August. Lambert died very
suddenly from cramps while about
500 miles from the Yukon and a
still greater distance from the coast.
Up to the present time all efforts
to trace the history of Lambert back
to his original locality have proved
fruitless, but it is believed that he
came to Montana from the state of

nificent silver tea service, of five
pieces, one chance to go with each
20 cent purchase. The tickets will
be given out throughout December,
commencing December L, and on

erybody's desire, but there is also a
second prize, which anybody will he
glad to obtain, namely, a fine large
doll, the finest ever offered in the

Bonded the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth Mining anG
Milling company held "a business
meeting Monday night and granted
to David l.. S. Barker a bond anc
lease of the property at 100000, tn:
time to extend over a period of Is
months. This meeting has beer
advertised in the HERALD for the
past six weeks.
The property of the Common.
wealth consists of a group of four
claims, lying near the summit Of
Old Badly, and known as the Com,
monwealth, Diamond Bell, Silver
Tip and Spotted. The Common.
wealth joins the Silver Belt on the
east. 1t is a good thing for Mel
hart when MI. Barker takes hold OF
a mine, for the fact of his interest
signifies that he will work the
ground. No statement has yet been
given out as to the manner of oper-
alton, but it is understood that work
will soon be begun upon the Com
monwealth group.

Indiana. 1t is a fact, however, that
ne was n of the early vanguard to
this state and one of the original
trail blazers. During the early and
exciting days of Fort Benton and
the WhooP- Up country he was an
lhdlan trader and went through ma
ny thrilling experiences. In 1876
he was in the Black Hills stampede,
but soon afterwards returned to
Montana, being among the first
prospectors in the Barker and Mel
hart districts. In the early '80's he
was comparatively wealthy, for those
times, and was the owner of a num-
Der of properties which have since
become very valuable. He made
the first sale of any importance in
that district when he disposed of the
Mountain Chief mine to J.. G. E.
Barker of Great Falls for the sum of
$4,000.
In 1886 Lambert sailed for Alas
ka' For a number of years he
worked about Circle city, Forty
Mile and the York peninsula, and,
although he eve succeeded in To-
eating any of the fabulous wealth
that has since made the Klondike
world-renowned, he still accumulat-
ed considerable wealth. He return
ed to Montana some time in 1893.
where he remained for a short time.
after which he returned to Alaska.
where he spent the rest of his days.
During the time he spent in Alas
ka Lambert acquired considerable
notoriety by crossing the Boring
straits into Siberia by means of a
dog train. While there he explor-
ed a considerable portion of the ST.
berlan coast. His last work, which
has proved very valuable to the
government service, was the discov-
cry of an overland trail from Kodiak
island to Nome. The trail has since
been explored by the United States
government and will be used as the
winter mail route.

continuing rise in wages to promote in

easier with the return of $4.OOO,OOO from
the interior during the week and further
deposits by the treasury and more liquid
alton in some speculative stocks has also
helped. Banks report an increase In their
per cent of commercial loans. and rates
were generally more easy after the de-
cline announced by European banks.
