FIRST SHAFT
IN MONTANA
A Portion Of the Timber Used in the
Construction of Montana's First
Shaft Discovered.
WAS SUNK ON GOLD CREEK
Gold Tom" Dug the Shaft and It Is
Thought That He Was Caught In
Cave In at the Mine.

A relic OF the first mining shaft
that was ever sunk in Montana is in
the possession of Attorney Z. B, How
ell OF Butte. Pioneers Of this state
are positive in their statements that
the shaft that was the forerunner Of
all the tremendous mining operations
that have since made Montana famous
throughout the world raj sunk forty
two years ago on Gold creek, in Deer
Lodge county. by a man named Henry
Thomas. who was generally known as
Gold Tom"
It is well authenticated that Gold
Tom sunk the shaft almost unaided
to a depth OF about thirty feet, the
enterprise being regarded as a ire.
mendous undertaking in those early
days when the few prospectors had
not yet dreamed of anything beyond
washing gravel that they scraped from
the bedrock in the creek bottoms. AS
the ground was loose and a number
of boulders were encountered it was
necessary to do some timbering In q
rude way. Small trees were cut down,
and the timbering done in very much
the same way that a log cabin Is built.
The miner got a little gold all the
way down In his mining operations.
but not to any great amount, espec-
tally for those days when every painful
had to have a good deposit in its bot.
tom to pay expenses. Beans and flour
were 81 a pound and a prospect OF
10 and Is cents to the pan that would
now be a golden harvest would not
buy salt enough for baking In those
days.
Gold Toms" shaft was not a sue.
cess as far as the yield of gold was
concerned, and he did some washing
of dirt on the surface at that point
and in the neighborhood during that
and the following summer. He work.
ed to great disadvantage on account
of his crude methods, and 1t Is said
made only about $1.50 a day. He had
four little sluice boxes that were made
from rough boards hewed out with an
ak.
The shaft of the pioneer miner cav.
ed in shortly after it was dug and as
Gold Tom" disappeared about the
same time it was reported and believ'
ed generally for a long time that he
was in the shaft at the time of the
cavein and was buried under the loose
earth and b~oulders. To this day many
who live in the visinity of that pioneer
mining section in Deer Lodge county
believe that the bones of Golden
Tom" would be found in the shaft II

APPENDICITIS
CAUSED DEATH
Samuel LaRue Passed Away at the
Van Dusen Hospital at 6 p. m. on
Thursday Evening.
BEEN LIVING WITH 3. C. WHITE
Boy Was Sent to the Hospital for
Treatment on Sunday Evening"
Was in Bad Shape.

Samuel LaRue. who has been liv-
ing with the family of b. C. White
for the past two years, died on Thurs
day evening as the result of compli-
cations which arose after an operation
for the relief of appendicitis. La
Rue was only eighteen years Of age
at the time OF his death and a few
short weeks since was endowed with
that superabundance OF vitality which
is usual with a 10Y Of his age. The
symptoms of appendicitis were first
noticed a few days before he was
sent to town and were not thought
to be forerunners of the dread COM
plant which cut short the young fel.
lows career.
Mrs. McClave, a ear neighbor who
has had considerable experience as
a nurse, noticed the boys condition
and diagnosed the case al appended
tbs. Arrangements were at once made
to have LaRue brought TO Lewis.
town for treatment and on Saturday
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. McClave brought
him to the city and paced him in the
vanDusen hospital. The operation
was performed and on Wednesday
night the boy became so much worse
that a message was sent to Mr.. White
telling him Of the patient S condition.
| Mr.. and Mrs. White made immediate
| preparations to reach the city and
left home at 5 a. m. tor that purpose
and were present when the unfortun-
ate boy passed away.
The deceased was an inmate OF the
state reform school two years ago and
was taken from that institution by
| Mr.. White, who has employed him
since that time and treated him as
one of the family. The boy was not
an inmate of the reform school through
incorrigibility, but owing to the fact
that his mother. being dead and be-
ing disowned by his father, he was
without home or friends.
The deceased boys lather lives at
Bozeman and a message was at once
sent to him informing him of the
death of his son. No reply being re-
ceiyed arrangements were made to
hold the funeral at 2 o'clock on Fri
day. but on that day at noon a mes
sage arrived instructing those who
had charge OF the body to have 1t
embalmed and shipped to Bozeman for
interment.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
The Twenty-seventh Day Of November
is Set Aside by the President.

Washington, Oct. 29.-President
Roosevelt today issued his proclama-
ton designating Thursday, Nov. q,
as a day of Thanksgiving. The proc
lamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season of the year to appoint
a day of festival and thanksgiving to
God. Over a century and a quarter
has passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had on
the whole more to be thankful for
than has fallen to the lot o. any 9TH
er people. Generation after genera
ton has grown to manhood and pass
ed away. Each has had to bear its
peculiar burdens, each to face its
special crisis and each has known
years of grim trial, when the country
was menaced by malice, domestic or
foreign, when the hand of the Lord
was heavy upon it in drouth or flood
of pestilence, when in bodily distress
and anguish of soul it paid the penalty
of folly and a froward heart. Never
theless, decade by decade. we have
struggled onward ana upward. We
now abundantly enjoy material we'll
being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplift-
ing. The year that has just closed
has been one of peace and OF over
flowing plenty. Rarely has any peo-
pie enjoyed greater prosperity than
we are now enjoying. For this We rem
der heartfelt and solemn thanks to
the giver of good and we seek to
praise Him not by words only, but
by deeds, by the way in which we do
our duty to ourselves and to our fell
lowmen.
Now, therefore |. Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States.
do hereby designate as a day OF gen.
eral Thanksgiving, Thursday, the 9th
of the coming November, and do rec
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary oc-
equations and in their several homes
and places of worship render thanks
unto Almighty God for the manifold
blessings of the past year.
in witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington,
the 29th day of October. in the year
of our Lord nineteen hundred and
two. and of the independence OF the
United States the one hundred and
twenty-seventh.

MONTANA FRUIT RAISING.
The Judith is Well Adapted to the
Raising Of the More Hardy Fruits.

One of the most important things in
the matter of bury growing is to set
out a new bed each year. Even where
a good supply for family S is the
only object in view, we would advise
setting out a few rows of new plants
each spring. Indeed, with good care
in other respects, a fair crop each
year is almost assured by this meth
cd. 1t is time that plans were made
this fall for the location of the new
bed, as we find on all soils that the
plants do a great deal better on fall
blowing than on loosely thrown up
soil. And then it is so important to
get in the plants at the very earliest
possible moment in the spring that
we do not like to wait for the land
to be plowed.

BEEF INTERESTS COMBINE.
A Big Consolidation Is Being Brought
About by the Packers.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Record-Her
aid tomorrow will say that two big
consultations are planned by the beef
interests. The packers will combine
first, and then effect a merger OF all
the stock yards In the country. With
the exception OF the Chicago stock
yards, which are controlled in Boston.
all the properties involed are owned
and controlled by owners of the prin.
cipal beef packing plants. The diff,
ferent yards that will probably be in.
cluded in the deal, aside from the
Chicago yards, are those at Kansas
City, st. Louis. st. Joseph, Fort
Worth, South Omaha and Sioux City.
The Armour interest is probably
the largest In the Kansas City yards.
The Armours, Swift and Morris con.
troll the East st. Louis yards. Swifts
own the st. Joseph yards, the Armours
and Swifts own the Fort Worth yards,
the Armours, Swifts and Cudahys con.
troll the Omaha yards, and the Swifts
control at Sioux City.
While the control of the Chicago
yards is held in Boston, Chicago pack
ers have large holdings OF the stock
also. and their recommendations
would undoubtedly have great weight
with the eastern capitalists.
The plan for consolidating the var
ious stock yards has not progressed
as yet to a point where the amount of
stock required has been more than
discussed. 1t would undoubtedly run
close upon 800. 900, 900, exclusive of
the amount required for original pack
ing companies combination, which is
said to be $500, 900, 200.

makes a reference to Gold Tom" in

being that his life was not crushed
out under the boulders and earth of
his shaft. Mr.. Stuart said:

Fol many years the exact location
OF the shaft that Gold Tom" had dug
was unknown. but two years ago 1t
was re-discovered when Carl Berg.
strand. who owned the land. burned
of some fallen timber with a view
to prospecting. The mouth Of the old
cave-in shaft was plainly to be seen,
and two men we're put to work to
clean it out. The ground was loose,
however, and as no arrangements had
been made for timbering. the work
was soon abandoned. A number OF
pieces of the old timbers that had
been put in by the pioneer miner were
taken out in a little work that was
done, and they will no doubt In future
be regarded in museums as rare relics
of the first shaft that was sunk In
the treasure state.
Attorney e. B. Howell, of Butte,
who was in Deer Lodge last week on
legal business, and who takes much
interest IN historical affairs Of the
west, secured a piece of the timber,
and now has 1t to show his friends
at his office in the Silver Bow block
in this city.

Permit us to say that no doubt this err

not refer to it were it not for the fact that
such publication is in a sense harmful to
us. We have no desire not to be held to
are perfectly willing to fill the contract
with the Board of Health at the price
agreed upon of S3.42 per ton for steam
coal, and doubtless there are many deal
ers who would be willing to fill the con-
tract under normal conditions.
We do not nor have we asked to be re-
leased from the, contract, as it shows a
profit when steam coal is obtainable.
What we did ask Of the committee was
to pay US the difference in price between
the quality of the Belmont coal, we act
ually delivered, and the steam coal. which
we would have delivered had it been
obtainable at the time it was ordered to
the crematory. This action seemed to
us to be fair. owing to the fact that we
could not get the steam coal.
The Board of Health only uses about
400 tons of steam coal per year. and at
the price of S3.42 will show margin OF
profit instead of loss. We did not deliver
more than seventy-one tons of Belmont
steam coal. the difference. in price of the
two grades of coal approXimating So. The
committee declined to pay us this differ
