Il Is a trifle difficult to explain Just
the exact location of this Thunder

Neither has there been any exact sur
vey. so, of course. accurate maps can
not be expected yet. II is the biggest
unexplored region In the United
States.
This vast region covers about l2,0O9
miles. II Is known to be a very rich
mineral country. II has all the ele
ments to make II a success, pleGty of
ore, the most numerous and beautiful
streams imaginable, lots OF wood and
a good. energizing climate Plans are
being entertained OF pushing rail

Work on Abbey Claim.

Development work in the Abbey
mine is proving exceedingly satisfac.
tory to the management. From the
bottom of the big cave a drift was run
into the ore body long distance. and
the ore sampling proved most graft
flying. The ore body is now to be
crosscut, so its extent may be deter
mined When this is done the man
agement will be able to proceed with
a better understanding of what to do
in the way Of future development.
That the Abbey has an immense ore
body of milling quality is now Ger.
tain. All that now remains is for the
company to proceed to open 1t up.
The presence of a great ore body
in Abbey ground is conclusive eyi.
dence that this cyanide belt is over
three miles in length and carries pay
ore the whole distance. Such a stu.
pendous ore body does not exist else.

THE MULES WENT SOUTH.
Bill Deaton Has a Recurrence OF His
Usual Luck.

1t was a pleasant day last Friday
and W. ID. Deaton hitched up his team
of sorrel mules and headed for the
open country in order to exercise the
mules and takes notes on the bunch
grass growth. This has been his only
means of locomotion for some time
past owing to the fact that the livery
barns are little ''leery" about let.
ing out team to bill" since the
equine tribe seemed to have got a
'hunch" that they ought to go south
at a rapid gate whenever they got
Deaton behind them.
The stage lines barred him some
time ago after having been almost put
out of business by the rapid recur-
rences of breakdowns consequent up
on taking "Bill" as passenger. The
mules are extremely gentle and 1t was
thought until Friday that the only
thing that would cause them to STAN.
pede was a nosebag full of oats. How
ever, the hoodoo was on hand and on
passing a big white rock on the top of
the, bench south of the city, the mules
threw their caudel appendages over
the rear curve of their spine and
stampeded for tall timber. Deaton
yanked on the lines in an effort to
head them off but the buckle on the
check had caught and he was power
less to stop them. Away went the
mules and "Bill" and the buggy;
racking from side to side like unto the
motion of JEFF Sherman's pet pacing
horse. and as the game was getting
too fast, bill" thought he would quit
and jumped out of the buggy with the
result that the sudden contact with
Mother Earth caused several painful
contusions on the impolite portion OF
his anatomy.
After the mules had discovered that
"Bill" had quit them they slowed uI
and were stopped by a half-breed
freighter who happened along at the
time. On being interviewed the day
after the occurrence Mr.. Deaton stat
ed that he was open for a deal where
by he could acquire a span of black
ball.faced steers which were guaran
teed to drive with jerk line and
were familiar with the meaning ol
gee and haw.

the vein is three feet wide and has
well defined walls of what he calls
blue porphyry. This is his first ex-
perience in prospecting in this coun-
try, but he says the North Moccasins
present some very hattering indica-
tions. Penstock proposes to work on

SLEPT IN THE cABooSE.
Herman eaugIer and Wife are Caught
In a Storm.

While returning from Harlowton to
their home at Garneill, after a pro-
longed bridal tour, Mr.. and Mrs. Her
man Gaugler encountered violent
blizzard several miles the other side
of Ubet about eleven o'clock at night.
The team Mr.. Gaugler was driving
would hardly face the storm and the
situation was fast becoming serious
when a freight outfit, to which was
attached comfortable caboose,
loomed up amidst the whirling snow.
It was the work Of but few moments
to awaken the slumbering freighter
and persuade him to allow the storm
beaten travellers to occupy a portion
of the caboose, who were thus enab-
led to pass the night in comparative
comfort.
The couple arrived in Garneill early
the next day none the worse for their
unique adventure, though they will no
doubt remember the rough experience
for some time to come.
