Waters Conceal a Fortune.
Gold Dust Worth $4,000 Lost in
the Missouri Years Ago.
(Anaeonda standard)

Among the many tragedies that have
REDEEMED the history of Montana the
story of how $500 900 in gold dust and
nuggets was lost in the Missouri river
thirty-six years ago is perhaps the
most wonderful. 1t has to do with the
snUffing out OF a score of lives and the
loss OF q treasure in the sOmber waters
Of the Missouri. where the eddy was
cTimsoned with the life blood of the IN
fortunate miners who had won fortune
and were returning to their loved ones
back in civilization.
That the precious cargo Of yellow
dust is a reality there is not the slight
est doubt, but where it rests beneath
the quieksands there is but one man
can tell, lie hopes some day 10 find
the sunken scOw with its glittering
wealth, but the changing eddies in
the treacherous channel Of the river
have erased the evidences in the sand
and his chances Of again finding the
spot rests entirely on his recollection
Of the place as it was described and
pointed out to him by one now long
since dead.
J. D. Emerson Of Basin, one Of Mon
tana's earliest pioneers, is the only per-
son in the world that knows the true
story Of the tragedy that cost twenty
miners their lives and their fortunes.
In 1865 a party of miners started from
Virginia City for their homes in the
east. with the accumulated savings Of
several years of hard work. OF the
vast army of placer miners that in
vaded the primordial wilderness of the
treasure gulchss of the territory, few
were fortunate enough to find great
wealth.

In 1867. Two years after the loss Of the
scOw. J. D. Emerson. now the agent for
the Northern Pacific at Basin, was
working for the Northwestern Fur
company He was at Fort Benton one
day when he met Richard Pope. The
old mans son had died Of fever and
he was the sole person in the world
that knew Of the existence of the gold.
The Old man was without money and
wished to get back to his home in Ohio.
Mr.. Emerson was on his way down to
Omaha and offered the Quaker passage.
On the way down the river he told En-
erson the story Of the gold in the river
A fleet Of boats were going down the
river at that time, so it was decided to
stop at Fort Rice and come back alone.
They started back from the fort. dis
lance Of twenty miles. but disaster
again befell the gold seekers. When
ten miles from the Mace the boat
sprang a leak and before they could
reach the bank it had sunk. Pope was
nearly drowned and Mr.. Emerson saved
him only by the greatest effort. With
their boat sunk in the middle of the
river it was folly to think Of going
farther, so they turned their faces to-
ward the fort.

This Inflated score one day decided
that enough gold had been dug, ana

home. A rude scow was built staunch
and rough, which was to take them
down the river to civilization. In the
bottom Of the scow in Water-tight COM
partments lay the wealth of each man
securely tied in sacks Of bUckskin and
marked with the names of the owners
A floor of boards hid the treasure of
golden dust and nuggets and above this
floor were packed the rifles, ammuni-
ton ana provisions of the voyagers.
The journey down the Missouri from
Fort Benton was fraught with thrilling
adventure. AS the boat was carried

From out the bushes came a rafting
fire which splashed the water and bit
little pieces out of the wood on the boat
The current was swift at this point
and in handling rifles those in the boat
looked not to the steering oar. With a
crunChing sound the scOw went full
upon a rock and the rush of water
through a hole in the square prov
showed that this was to be the last
stand of the little party of fighters.
The story of how the miners fought
until dusk, wounded and sorely pressed,
is a tale of thrilling heToism. When
their ammunition gave out the red foes
on the shore were quick to see the ad-
vantage and swan out TO finish their
bloody work.
In the little band of white men there
was a Frenchman who had taken unto
himself a Sioux maiden for a bride.

the three went up the river from Fort

gravel and found the PROV. A barking

and Lavalle was killed. Pope and his

JOHN W. MAckAY DEAD.

LONDON, July 21.-John w.
Mackay, the California million
aire, who was overcome by the
heat on Tuesday last, died at
$50 o'clock last evening at his
residence at Carlton House.
He was a pioneer of California,
coming West in 1851, and at once
went to work with pick and
shovel as miner. After accum-
ulating some money Mackay in
1868 became a partner of Flood,
O'Brien and Fair, the ''big four, "
who were afterwards known as
the bonanza kings and who ex-
pended $500.000 on a deserted
prospect on the Comstock ledge,
from which they mined $40, 900,
900. Mr.. Mackay was interested
in the White Knob mines in this
county, and the town of Mackay
was named in his honor.

output until such time as the
tunnel with which the ore bodies
are to be tapped and that will

a capacity for treating 600 tons

a large volume of ore, the rail
road which operates ten miles of
track over six per cent grade,
is ready to do its part, and every
condition now looks favorable to
the success the company started
out to achieve. The order to re-
