ACCESSIBLE ONLY THROUGH THE
BITTER ROOT VALLEY,
DISCOVERY WAS MADE IN AUGUST, 1902
rlany Locations Have Already Been
Made-lf Reports Are Confirmed
Stampede is Likely to Follow.

Reports Of what promises to be one
of the greatest discoveries Of gold
ever made in this part of the country
have reached Hamilton from Owl
creek, about 100 miles from here.
1t these reports are confirmed a resu-
lar stampede may be expected, many
parties having already been organized
for the purpose of making locations.
If half what is said be true it is the
biggest strike made in many years.
MIR. Cross, representing New York
syndicate, made the discovery on Aug.
%, last He returned to Hamilton and
wired to the New York people what he
had found. His syndicate sent an ex-
pert on at once. Mr.. Reah, David A,
Bishop, p. J. Shannon and Byron
Castn er, of this city, followed the ex-
pert to the new discovery and each of
the gentlemen made locations. Mr.,
Bishop, Mr. Reah and Mr.. Castner re-
turned to Hamilton Saturday. They
report that Mr.. Cross had located thr-
ty-eight claims for his people, all
either placer or quartz. They say the
ledge is fully 100 feet wide and that
there is enough ore III sight to keep
fifty stamp mill running for ten years
without doing any underground min
ing. Assays run from S1O7 to 81 900
in gold to the ton. Mr.. Reah claims
all of the ore will run at least S25 to
the ton.
From one phenomenally rich streak
of the ore, eighteen pounds gave from
$500 to $500 in gold.
Fifty thousand dollars have been
placed to the credit Of Mr.. Cross in
the Hamilton bank for preliminary

son was swung into the air, where he
was left hanging until 2:O7, at the
expiration of which time Coroner F.M.
Lockwood was notified that Jackson
was dead and that he could have the
body whenever he wanted it.
The coroner Immediately appeared
SON suspended in the air, with his
hands securely tied behind him; he
was barefoot and dressed in his under
clothes. The body was cut down and
taken to the understanding rooms,
where it was viewed by many during
the ntire day.
The mob dispersed. Their work
had been accomplished. Not shot
was fired and SO quiet had been their
movements that those in close prox-
unity of the scene were not awakened.
A jury was impaneled at O'Clock
this afternoon to inquire into the
cause of his death, the jurors being

ONE HUNDRED DETERMINED MEN QUIETLY
ACCOMPLISH THEIR PURPOSE.
IS SWUNG TO AN ELECTRIC LIGHT POLE
81 Am Not Guilty; Have Mercy On Me-" Says
Jackson--Coroner Holds Inquest--Crowd
Was An Extremely Orderly One.

Walter Jackson, the author of the
most heinous crime in the catalogue, is
dead-dead at the hands of a mob.
Despite all rumors pro and con, a
mob of some 100 or $50 masked men
made an assault upon Hamilton about
O'Clock this morning. A more quiet,
orderly crowd with the same intentions
would be hard to imagine. The nu-
cleus of the mob formed at Stevens
Vile, the scene of the dastardly act
of their intended victim, and gathered
strength in its march up the valley.
Every man was resolute and marched
two by two at the southeast corner of
the Jail yard, hating on the north side
of the Jail,
Several men stepped from the ranks
and proceeded to the entrance of the
Jail, there demanding of JailorStephens
the keys. They were forthcoming as
the jailor was alone and resistance
useless. These men quietly march
ed to Jackson's cell, Jackson made
desperate struggle as an attempt was
made to slip the moose over his head,
caught the rope between his teeth and
it took the com bined efforts of several
of the crowd to dislodge it. This ac-
complished he was marched from the
Jail to an elecric light pole opposite the
southeast conner of the Ravalli hotel.
Here Jackson was given an oppertuni-
ty to speak, but he only said, II am

REIGN CONTIGUOUS
TOFORT SMELLING
Picnics at Harris Park Have
Been Abolished for the Sea-
son and Pleasure Seekers
Enjoy Themselves.

1t was a pretty tame day yesterday
in the vicinity of Fort Smelling. Not
even a Harris park picnic disturbed
the serene atmosphere of an ideal June
day. amid these picturesque surround
ings.
There was one scheduled, but it did
not materialize, for George Harris, the
proprietor of the Fort Smelling hotel
and its adjoining acres, Cancelled the
date, and quiet reigned.
Peace likewise lowered over the Fort
Smelling street cars on their way to
and from the government reservation.
The passengers chatted and laughed
and enjoyed the passing scenery in a
quiet, orderly manner The hoarse
guffaw the coarse jest, the profane
eXpletiyes, We're all absent. 49, The pas
sengers, and they were many, rode in
comfort to the Fort Smelling bridge,
wandered about the grove unmolested
and basked in the sunlight, as we'll as
in the shade, of perfect peace. 1t was
complete metamorphosis.
George Harris, proprietor of the
Fort Smelling hotel and Harris park,
has Cancelled all enga gements for the
park this summer and will remove the
pavilion and buildings upon the
grounds. When seen yesterday, he
said
Il had decided to shut up the park
some lime ago, but on account .Ofthes
recent unfavorable criticism which the
place has received, L resolved to close
it Immediately. 1 was obliged to can
eel dates for every Sunday till the 1st
of September.
Il always rented the park to incor-
porated bodies, but they were not re-
sponsible for the conditions that pre-
vailed, the rough element being at
tracted by the beer that was sold
There will be no more beer sold on the
ground. 1 will have nothing further to
do with it. | rented it and had been
subletting it to societies and unions.
The place was getting disgraceful,
and am glad that 1 will have moth
ing more to do with it. I had made
up my mind to close it and get rid of
it at the end of the season, but on ac-
count Of the unfavorable comments
that have been made 1 took the action
few months sooner"
The Druids, who were to hold a pic
mic at the park yesterday, called the
event, off. There was small crowd
at the place yesterday owing to. the
absence of attractions.

Tonka Bay by the entire Ramsey coun-
ty division of the Ancient Order of Hi

agreed that such a genteel and we'll
