GOLD DUST IN OLD BOOTS.
How a Montana Merchant Got His
Treasure Through to the East.
From the Anaconda Standard.

From the Anaconda Standard.
Henry Filing came to Montana in
the early COS. Then the greenbacks
were practically unknown In Virginia
City. Gold dust was the circulating
medium, and every counter and bar
was equipped with gold scales, and, in
stead of being dollars and cents, the
reckoning medium was ounces and
pennyweights. Every miner had his
buckslxin pouch instead of a pocket
book, and generally this pouch had sew
eral ounces of gold dust in it, for those
were the days of plenty in Alder Gulch
and all other parts of the territory
which is now known as Montana.
When his stock of goods was sold
out Mr.. Filing decided it would be a
good investment If he should make Il
trip overland to the states, purchase a
new stock of goods and continue in the
clothing business. He had about $10,-
900 In the best of gold dust to his
credit in the banks then established in
Virginia City, and a question which
bothered him sorely was how to get
this money to civilization without los
ing it, for road agents often disputed
the right of way with the stage
coaches, and they levied frequent trib-
utes on the passengers, sometimes
stripping them to the hide. Wells,
Fargo & Co. made a practice of ship
ping gold dust east for the miners, but
this was expensive, the ratio of insur-
ance being sometimes as high as 10
| per cent on the amount carried. This
meant great deal of money to man.
even in those days, and Mr.. Filing
thought he could find way to get his
money to Omaha which would beat

After considering the matter In its
different phases he finally expressed
the money to his own order as far as
Salt Lake City, taking passage on the
| same coach. To Salt Lake City the
express rate was not so high, and prac-

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
Che verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care

ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
meas, and she Ii entirely nnflt to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it Is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous despondency. "the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits Of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like bail ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbid1y sensitive TO light and sound ;
pain in tho ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostrstion.

Iished several southern novels, this is
said by the critics to be far the best

Its conclusion as a serial in a popular
magazine, and has evoked many letters
of praise from readers impatient to know
the outcome of the plot. Mr.. Harden is
now unquestionably the south's most

The characters stand out from the chap

sorrows and patiently work out life's
problems. There Is no better critic of
southern literature than the Hon. Thomas
e. Watson, and wholly unsolicited he
wrote as follows to the author:
Il not only read the book once, but

tically the danger zone of road agents
was passed after this point was
reached, the Portneuf canon and the
Beaver canon in Idaho and the section
along the Beaverhead valley between
Pete DAILY ranch and Williams juno
ton, in what is now Montana, being
the most dangerous.
Mr.. Filing and his gold dust arrived
in Salt Lake without incident. For
some reason the road agents had not
learned that the coach carried a great
amount of treasure, and no attempt at
hold-up was made, though more than
one of the passengers breathed hard
and had his heart in his mouth when
some unexpected stop was made dur
ing the dark hours of the night, for the
coach travelled night and day and as
fast as four or six horses could bowl
1t along, and it made an average speed
of about ten miles an hour.
After days rest in Salt Lake City
the journey was resumed. Mr.. Filing
had already secured his gold dust and,
as 1t was strictly against the rules of
| the company to carry gold In the bag
gage, he was in a quandary for while

he was going on to Omaha, SO they
were watching him. The morning tho
coach was hitched up and drove around
to the hotel after him he wandered
into the back yard of the hotel and
spied pair of boots not too badly
worn, which some one had discarded.
These gave him an idea. His gold
dust was in two packages, and, secur-
ing a stout buckskin string, he tied
the two boots together by their ears,
and, putting a part Of the gold into
either boot leg, he threw them into
| the bottom of the coach with the re-
mark that his boots hurt him and that
| he was taking the old ones along so
that he could change II his feet got to
hurting him too badly.
| Nobody had a suspicion that there
was $4,000 In those old boots, and
Mr.. Filing kept them under his feet
night and day until he reached Omaha.
When coaches were changed he gen.
orally carried the boots across his arm,
and, retiring to some convenient room,
would actually change his boots, in
this manner hoodwinking the express
messengers, the driver and every one
else as to the amount of money he was
carrying with him, and he got a great
deal of sympathy from the rest Of the
passengers on account of the pain he
was suffering from his tender feet.
