MYSTERY OF A, SILVER NINE.

PROSECUTORS Who Discovered 1t Disa'
greed and Rich Lode Was Lost.
Nearly every mining district Of the
West has had it's lost mine, similar to
the Lost Cabin mine, in which a rich
strike of gold had been discovered, but
by some unhappy circumstance its
location had been lost by its dis
coverers. The stories circulated Of
these lost mines of wealth have caused
many hardships, loss Of money, and
even loss of life, to those longing for
adventure and the rich reward with
which their efforts might be crowned
have induced them to spend months
and yeags in vain attempt to dis
cover the hidden treasures. Missoula,
which takes a back seat to no town in
the West when it comes to interesting
experiences during it's EARLY day strug-
giles for existence. had it's story of a.
lost mine for number of years, but
the secret has been so closely guarded
by few old timers who knew Its his
tory that it has never reached the ears
of the public.
According to the story told to the
Anaconda Standard a few days ago by
a we'll known and reliable old timer Of

kept during these days as the only and
the best way to settle ouarrels which
would occur between old pals, and
sometimes lifelong friends. 49,
"A few days after this Simon gather
ed together his few belongings and dis
appeared. Not long after he went
away Dave took sick, and one day I
received word that he wanted me to
come to him, and to come quick. left
my work in the field and hurried to
the old mans cabin, finding him in bed
and hardly able to wait on himself. He
told me to come near and sit down on
the only chair the cabin afforded, made
by mailing a couple of saplings to the
back Of tomato case, and said that he
had something he wished to tell me
before he died. tried to cheer the old
man up bit, but found it a useless
task, and so to please him and also be-
ing very curious as to what was on his
mind drew the rude seat close by the
bedside and sat down.
Before I speak, said Dave, you
must take an oath that the secret di-
vulge you will faithfully keep until
am dead Wondering more than ever
and thinking that perhaps the old man
sickness had unbalanced him, T took
off my hat and raised my right hand,
following his example, and there in
that lonely cabin the sick man admin
istered as solemn an oath to me as was
ever administered in any court of the
land.
He then told me of the discovery of
the mine and the falling out of himself
and Simon and of the promsie they had
made, one to the other, in consequence.
He showed me a sample of the silver,
and after T had looked at it carefully
he tossed it through the cabin door
down the river bank, The location was
also described, and he said that upon
leaving their treasure they had blazed
three large fir trees which stood in a

triangle about fifty feet apart around
the discovery, making two hacks with
their axes in the trees farthest west
and only one in theone east from the
hole. ~
Now, when am gone, you must find
this hole,' said Dave, and there is a
fortune in it for you, but while live

Il did all that could for the old
mans comfort, and went home thinking
but very little about his story, and even
after his death, which occurred a few
days later, thought but little of what
he had said still thinking that his
trouble with his partner and his sick
ness had led to this wild statement.
"Some time after this a man and his
family settled on the place where Dave
and Simon had lived, and upon making
them visit several years later heard
story which made me change my
mind in regard to the old mans story
and caused me to spend considerable
time in the search for the hole he had
described.
The man Of the house told me that
after he and his family had settled on
the place there appeared at the house
one day a man, and from the descrip-
ton given am positive 1t was Simon.
He must have heard of his partner s
death and came back with the inten-
ton of claiming the mine. He asked
for room and board at the house. stat
ing that he intended to do some pros
pecting in the neighborhood. The re-
quest was ragnted him, and he set
about to find the hole that he had left
several days before. For days he made
trips in the direction Of the holeFa des-
cribed to me by his partner.
after several days the man seemed
to be quite worrier over something, but
never had a word to say in this regard
to the family. AT night he would sit
for hours with his. head in his hands,
apparently in a deep study, and in the
early morning they would find him
seated at the window pointing in the
direction of his lost treasure. His ac-
tons became more and more peculiar,
until the family saw that he was de-
mented from his worry and We're al
most afraid to have him around.
"About a month passed in this man
ner, Simon every day making regular
trips in the same direction and return
ing at night in the same condition. Fin
ally one day he left for Missoula, say
ing that he must have a compass be-
fore he would be able to find it and
started to the city. That was the last
ever seen or heard of poor Simon by
the rancher, nor have I ever heard Of
him from that day to this.
THAT reason every time I could
spare few days from my work made
trip to the country described by the
old man. but without ever being able
to locate the Lost Hole.

this district, the strike in question was
discovered by Dave OBrien, who Is
well remembered by all of the early
settlers Of the valley, and his partner,
who went by the name of silent"
Simon. The discovery, which is known
as the Lost Hole mine, differ from the
other lost mines, inasmuch as it was
silver discovery instead of gold, but the
samples Of the ore which have been
seen by the man who told the story
were very rich-in fact, practically
pure silver. The story of the discovery
of the treasure and it's subsequent loss
as told is practically as follows:
Dave and Simon were both old pros
pectors in the West and had gone
through many hardships together.
Dave was the older. having travelled
across the plains and arrived in Mon
tana in 1868. Simon, as his name sug-
gests, was a very silent man, and never
had much to say, and nobody ever
knew or could find out just what he
was or where he came from. He was
very determined prospector, however,
and he and Dave made a good team.
They had made several good strikes be-
fore coming to the Bitter Root Valley,
and had considerable Of the yellow dirt
with them upon their arrival here.
They settled on a little ranch on the
west side of the Bitter Root River,
about five miles from where Missoula
now stands, and for a long time lived a
very quiet and easy life together.
1T was not long, before the fever
seized them again, and one morning in
the early summer they started out to
make a trip to the mountains back Of
their cabin, taking only few days ra-
tons and their mining tools along. 1t
seems they made the find during the
first eday while only few miles from
their home, and after determining the
quality of the ore which they found on
the surface they spent several days in
digging, until they came upon the main
body and found it to be of wonderful
richness and having the appearance Of
coming from a very large lead.
"Then something happened. A differ
ence of some kind, just what Dave
would never tell me, broke the friend
ship existing between the two men.
They were digging in their discovery
at the time, and to settle their trouble
both there and then took a solemn
oath that they would leave their mine
and that neither Of them would return
to it as long as the other one lived.
Then, coming out of the diggings, they
slowly shovelled back the earth, which
had caused them several days of hard
labor to dig. out, and returned to their
cabin. This seems like a very foolish
vow to make but many just as unreal
sonable ones were made and solemnly
