Montana Prisoner lncumbered with Six

sGLENDIVll, MONTE. W. Osborn,
who recently recovered from an attack of
smallpox, made his escape from the pest
house this morning between the hours Of
and 6. When he came down with the
malady, Osborn was in Jail awaiting trial
on a charge Of grand larceny, it being as
serted he had mortgaged fictitious bunch
Of sheep to w. A. ORGAN Of Wibaux.
Upon his recovery at the pest house he
was allowed some liberty by Special Dep
uty Chris Scverts, leg irons only being
placed upon him at night, but when he
broke up one pair and hid, another six
teen pound Oregon boot was placed upon
him.. This he carried off with him last
night. Officers think he cannot be far
away, but cannot get any trace of him to-
day.. He is thought to be hiding in the
river bottoms or in the Bad Lands. In
the event of being unable to get off the
Oregon boot, which is almost impossible,
he may end his life.

MICHIGAN
PREHISTORIC TOOLS.
Some Of the estSpecimens Known
Taken From Bluff Near
~ Rockland.
Crude Appliances Of Ancient Miners
Who Knew Of the Value
Of Copper.
Special to The Journal.

special 10 1hS JOuEuaAs
Houghton, Mich, June IA valuable
find Of prehistoric tools was made sew
eral days ago by men eXcavatlng near
shaft A of the Michigan Copper Mining
companys mine near Rockland in On
tonagon county. The place of the find
was in the side of a steep bluff fifteen feet
high, against which was large rock,
placed there thirty or. forty years ago
during early operations at the Minnesota
mine.
In making an excavation in the alluvial
overburden it was found the earth was
stained black at a depth of ten feet. With
increased depth the earth became black
as tar, and chips and chunks of charcoal
were found. Finally large pile Of charred
logs was taken out Nearby large stone
hammers, the largest weighing thirty
pounds, were found, some Of them being
the finest specimens over uncovered in
the copper country.
Evidently the relics were used by an
cient miners In separating the gangue
rock from the copper. The process OF
these miners, it is believed, was to build
a fire around the masses OF copper rock
and heat the material to a high tempera-
ture, dashing water upon them to spin
ter them by the sudden cooling, and att
erward pounding out the copper with the
stone hammers from the gangue.
The Michigan mine office at Rockland
has a valuable collection of mining tools
and utensils used by the prehistoric
mound builders who are believed to have
inhabited this region.
Iron has been discovered about fourteen
miles below SidnaW in Houghton county
by George Heineman. The surface show
| ing yields what is known as bog ore, a
| low grade ore running about As per cent
| in metallic iron. Assays show the high
| est values to be 1872 per cent and the
| lowest "a per cent. Heineman has Sc
cured an option on the land and has
| closed a deal for exploratory work.

THE WEEK IN LUMBER
Market Is Quiet But strong-season's
Shlpments So Far 100 900 900 Feet

Market Is outlet But Strong-season's
Shipments So Far 100000, 900 Feet.
/. DULUTH, MINN.-The lumber market
is very quiet, tho about as strong as
ever. Buyers In the east are holding Off
somewhat, in an endeavor to let stocks
accumulate sufficiently to make the ac-
ceptance of off prices more likely. Mill
men here are not disposed to let down
now, and most of them have abundant
room on docks for the saving Of sometime
to come. Indeed shipments are heavy
and continuous and there is little accumu-
lation Of stocks except Of such as are too
green for shipment. In many cases
green lumber is being sent forward.
There has been a big procession of ship
ping at mill docks here this week, and
the quantity Of boards taken has been
very large, amounting to about 18, 900, 900
feet. So far this season shipments of
lumber from Duluth Superior have been
100000,000 feet, nine-tenths from Du-
luth.
The Merrill Ring lumber company,
Richardson & Avery and others sold this
week 100000 feet Of boards, mostly No.
8 and better at about the same prices that
have prevailed Of ate.
Heavy forest fires have been burning the
past week in timber slashings, but have
done little harm, and it is probable will
cause comparatively small loss for some
time. The woods are damp and vegeta-
