Bones of Indian Are
Found at Whitefish

While digging a basement for the
new residence Of DR.. G. G. Sundelius
on the south shore of Whitefish lake,
Roy Bengsten found deep in the earth,
q skeleton believed to be that Of an
Indian. Nothing but bones was left but
with the skeleton were found a number
of sharp teeth similar to bear teeth.
The teeth of the skeleton were worn
as are the teeth of Indians. A tree
20 inches in diameter had grown over
the spot where the skeleton was found.
The site of the new residence is

came to get their winter supply of

were intensely cold. The miners who
worked there wore heavy gloves, cloth
ing and overshoes. That made it un-
comfortable for the miners, but was
advantageous to the owners, in those
hammer and drill days, for the boys
had to keep hitting the steel in order to
keep warm. The production from the
double hand teams was particularly
heavy, for the man who twisted a drill
for Is minutes was anxious to get his
circulation started again when it came
his time to swing the double jack,
and thus operations were we'll nigh
continuous during a shift.
The single jackers labored under the
same disadvantage. They had to keep
Whanging away in order to keep warm.
There was no draft in the mine but
even when the workings had reached
the depth of 1000 feet the same frigid
temperature existed.
The Hecla lead properties have long
been nonproductive and the camps
which flourished when the Lion noun
tain mines were in their prime have
d~isintegrated. But for many years
when there was good money in lead
mining and when the rich ore bodies
of Lion mountain were yielding at their
best, it was a busting section.

Mountain Named
Jerry Grotovant, one of the party
which made the first discovery of ore
on Lion mountain, owned a white mule,
and it strayed away from their camp
at Trapper. Joe McCreary went toward
the mountain in search of it. When he
reached a cliff just above where the
Hecla bunk house later stood, he saw

er they went back to the place-and
found the mule.
The laugh was on Joe and the noun
tain thereafter was known as Lion
mountain.
The town of Trapper soon sprang
into prominence. James l.. Hamilton,
later a Butte millionaire, owner of
the Hamilton block and of many other
properties there, was the camps first
postmaster. He afterwards turned the
office over to John Caravan, who SUBJ

prominent resident of Anaconda.
In addition to being postmaster. Can

The Hecla company then erected q

existence. John LongIey ran the fist
boarding house there. 1t stood upon
the site of the Caravan house, winch

IeamS and wagons hauled the or:

one time SO teams being engaged in the
work. Later a tramway was built. The
Smelter and the concentrator were
burned and a 50-ton Srnelter was on
structed to replace the old one. The
concentration was built six miles nearer
to n mine thus cutting down on the
necessary hauling.
Hazardous Work
The old Hecla tramway which car
ried the ore from the base of the noun
tain to the concentration was the scene
OF many thrilling rides. The tramway
was four miles long. A brakeman rode
a car on its downward trip, and was
supposed to retard the speed SO the cars
would remain on the track. But many
times they jumped off. The ride was
especially hazardous in the winter
time, even though the track was Gov
cred with snow sheds most of the way.
Mules pulled the cars back up to the
ore house at the base of Lion mountain.
The ore was moved from the mine,
nigh up on the mountainside, to the
loading chutes below, in buckets car
r1ed along on q cable. The mountain
was steep to the Cleopatra mine, and a
rope was strung along the trail to en-
able the miners t. pull themselves up

could inflict such punishment on q
ship. A relief ship was sent out i'm
