by the greatest effort that he saved him
self from %strangling in the snow and 1t
took Is minutes Of desperate struggle to
extricate himself.
On New Years day q snowslide cost
the life of two of the miners and nearly
wiped out the entire camp. Mr.. Ram
nael went into tow that morning for
the mail and had gone about q mile on
the way back when he struck a blizzard
and returned to Cooke, knowing that 1t
would be impossible TO get through the
high passes in the storm. When he ar
rived at the camp the next morning, ne
learned of the tragedy from the panic
stricken survivors.
On the forenoon of New Years day. q
small slide had come down and buried
the mouths of both tunnels. The miners
shoveled a way out and then came home
for Inner. In the afternoon, several
men returned to finish cleaning out the
entrances. Tredinnick, the foreman, who
is now president and general manager
of the Tredinnick Development COM
pany operating on Scotch Bonnet
mountain near Cooke. was standing
on a timbered ridge about rs yards from
where Clarence Martin and Tony Wise
were at work.
Whole Mountain Slips
Suddenly the now from along the
whole side of the mountain for a dis
lance of two miles broke loose and swept
everything before it. Spruce trees two
feet through were broken down. The
slide went across bottom land a third of
a mile wide and against the walls of the
mountain on the other side.
When the roar came, Tredinnick
grabbed a sapling and held with such
strength that he stripped the bark off in
his hands. He was shot up into the air
but managed to grasp the limb Of a big
spruce where he hung for dear life.
When exhausted, he was finally COM
PEELED to let go. The main mass of the
snow had gone by. however, and he was
only carried about so yards when an
other tree stopped him.
Rescuers from the camp went with
shovels to try to find the two miners
who had been swept down but the snow
was packed so hard and there was SO
much of it that they soon realized that
the task was hopeless. The body of Wise
vas found the next jun in a draw near
the timber stretch with the shovel still
in his hand. Martin had been carried
half way across the bottom and his body
was not discovered until July 4. Nearly
every zone in his body had been broken.
The two men were buried in Cooke GEM
etery.
The bunkhouse was in the shadow of
some perpendicular cliffs inc the slide
stopped about 25 yards to the side of the
quarters. Several of the men were so
unnerved by the experience hat they
quit but others from Cooke took their
place. An italian named Ben who was
the most thoroughly frightened of the

with the utmost difficulty. pulling, coax
ing and urging that they were able to
make any progress, even though Ram
nael gave him one of his skis.
Finish on TOboggan
Finally they got to the top of Fair
view about 900 feet above Cooke City
which was at the foot of a steep slope.
Here Ramnael made a %toboggan by tying
together the three skis. Ben was placed
behind with orders to hold on to Ram
naels shoulders and then Ramnael got
in front. AS they plunged down the
mountain side, the experience was not
dissimilar to riding a cowcatcher on an
engine, bucking snowdrifts, according to
Mr.. Ramnael. Ben, thoroughly fright
ened, struggled to get off but Ramnael
had grabbed him around the legs so that
was impossible. Ben shouted, You keel
me, you keel me-" as they swept down
the steep slope but in spite of his fears
he was soon landed safely in Cooke.
Once Mr.. Ramnael was going along
Sheep mountain with a pup which he
had taught to ride on top of his pack
when he was making fast time on his
skis. Suddenly a large mass Of snow
broke off about 10 feet below him while
the snow began to roa and settle above
him. Acting by instinct, he veered to-
ward the left and down a steep incline

we'll supplied with loafing places.
Late in the fall MIR. Ramnael obtained
a contract for packing about a ton of
supplies, provisions, mining tools, assay
outfit, powder, caps and fuse, to a min
ing camp which had been established on
the headwaters Of the Saltwater about
10 miles northeast of Cooke. There were
about a dozen men at the camp who
were driving two tunnels into the side
of a mountain.
The buildings at the camp consisted
of a bunkhouse and kitchen, a black
smith shop, a charcoal pit n other
outbuildings. The snow became so deep
that 1t was necessary to cut an inclined
shaft with steps to the top. There was
another shaft to the bunkhouse window
to give light. Tunnels were cut between
the different buildings. Lamps and can
dies were burned day and night.
New Trail Every Day
In making the trips from Cooke City,
MIR. Ramnae carried from rs to 100
pounds at q trip, usually making q round
trip each day. Usually 1t was necessary
to break a new trail every day and often
the new snow was SO thick that the point
of his skis could not be seen for q mile
at q stretch.
One time Mr.. Ramnael had a case Of
Goa oil weighing SO pounds in the pack
harness on his back and was carrying a
miners pick and sledge hammer in front
for balance. He climbed or a high ridge
where the wind had packed the snow,
n slid down the slope but at the bot
ton he suddenly plunged into deep snow
which stopped him abruptly. With the
skis strapped to his feet and the Goa
oil case cutting into his neck, it was only

"The world doesn't look so bad from
a hospital cot says Nick Murphy, 10
year-Old Butte miner, who should be
an authority on the subject, having
spent the last two years in a ward w
st. James hospital. The veteran pa.
tient entered the hospital June IL,
1926, and has the distinction of being
the oldest patient, In length OF con
hnement, in my Butte hospital.
Since entering the hospital. Mr.. Muir
phy has NEVER been able to leave his cot
and he considers 1t a rare occasion when
he is allowed to sit up. His cot lies In
an isolated part of a ward on the third
floor of the hospital, opposite q window
wher he can watch the moving world
outside. That vista, conversations with
hospital attaches and other ward in
valids and n~ewspapers form his sole con-
facts with humanity.
Never Downhearted
Never downhearted because Of his in
ability even to leave his bed. Nick has
won the admiration and sympathy Of all
hospital attaches and other persons who
come in contact with him by his good
humor and fortitude. He has nc rela-
tives and declares his closest friend is
a rather worn pipe. Nick declared the

during his two years on a sick bed.
Pipes His Best Friend
"Yeh, the pipes getting pretty strong
now but l can't part with it. I don't
know now to explain my feelings toward
it. but it's been like a trusted dog to
me. Somehow l am thinking Of it as
being alive, as 1t has brought me a great
deal of comfort in some rather lonely
moments. If n ever gets angry or
lonely or respondent. he should just
lgiht his pipe n have a good smoke.
at least that's what I do, and I've found
1T to be a fine remedy for i'll humor.
There's more comfort ia a pipeful Of to-

The veteran patient is a great follower
of all sporting events n a keen baseball
fan. Whenever convalescent patients in
his ward enter an argument about SPORT
ing affairs Nick always is called upon to
act as arbitrator.

Evolution in gold mining methods,
from the days of creek panning and
battered shacks. has apparently de-
yelOped along the lines of other mod
ern devices. according to ID. ID. J0slyn
of Great Falls, who recently inspected
newly-deyeloped placer workings in
Wisconsin Creek canyon, four miles
east of Sheridan in Madison county.
Two bungalow bunk houses. equipped
with running water and electric lights,
have been erected to house the crew OF
40 workmen. W.. H. Paddock, engineer
for the Syracuse and Montana Mining
company, is in charge of the project, &C
cording to Mr.. Joslyn, n is making
preparations to start operations before
June l with the most modern placer de-
velopment equipment available.
An area five miles long will be operated
by the aid of a four-foot direct sluicing
hume, acting under a 300-foot head Of
water from the upper creek. Direct water
pressure will be brought through steel
pipe lines from the flume.
Mr.. Joslyn reports that o conditions
in Montana are gradually improving,
after a state tour recently completed. He
reports tina progress toward a great pro-
duction year seems to be uniform
throughout the state. In commenting on
efforts of the state highway commission,
he stated that the present executive staff
is going at the matter of Monana road
building in the right manner, and that
the launching of a uniform program for
the state has lone much to improve gem
eral road situations.
