The True Story of Its Discovery and Development. A STIRRING TALE OF GOLD. Allen Hulbert's Find j= the Big Horn Mountairs—Trhe Lost Trail-The Lead Rediscovered — A Sad Sequel. Fort Keogh,' Mont., Correspondence of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Per- haps the most famous, as well as the most mysterious, mine on the continent is the celebrated Lost Cabin Lead. It has been discovered, rediscovered and lost half a dozen times, and at the pres- ent writing the exact location of this rich lode is as much a mystery as ever. This mine isone of the magnets that drew Thomas Paige Comstock (Old Pan- cake) north from the Nevada bonanzas; but he never found the lead,and he came but to find & suicide’s death and a ]mgpor's grave awaiting him. He drove a pistol ball through his brain near Bozethan, September 27, 1870, and his neglected tomb is now there, without a sign to mark this famous man’s last resting place, and almost unknown. The Lost Cabin has grown to be somewhat of a legend, although there can be no doubt that very rich veins of gold are scattered all through the Big Horn range, and among those mountains this much-sought mine is snugly hidden away. and will probably remain so until some lucky prospector stumbles upon it, and o becomes a thrice milliona ina twinkling. That thereis gold in the Big Horn mountains can not be ques- tioned. Colors have been found all alorg the Big, Little Horn and other mountains, and_at the mouths of the Big Horn and Rosebud a little indus- trious panning on the bars will show undoubted signs of auriferous washings. But the treasure vaults of the Big Horn must be closed to prospectors for many vears yet, as the Qrow Indians are arons, in fee, of all that rich country, and do not_propose to part with oue inch of their birthright for love nor money until a wise congress legislates on the matter and throws these rich lands—rich in minerals and grasses--- open to the industrious white prospec- tor and larmer, whether the Crows like it or not. 1 have seen many descriptions of the Lost Cabin in print, but never yet has the true story been told, or how it got the name of Cabin, nor how such a big thing as a gold mine with a log cabin attachment came to be so utterly and totally lost as never to be found again. on 21, THE LOST CABIN TRIO. Allen Hulburt,a California stampeder of the 49 epoch, was the man who dis- covered the mine, built the cabin, lost the mine, and never found it again. He was a quiet, sensible citizen of Janes- ville, Wis., in 1849, when he caught the California gold fever like a great many others, and so in October of the same year he left home, friends and every- thing else behind him and journeyed aoross the plains to the Pacific El Dor- ado. He worked his way north to Oregon, then into what is now Wash- ington, and in the spring of 1863 found himself in Wallawalla without a cent in his pocket. In company with two other roving spirits, one Jones and one Cox, the trio bought a new prospecting outfit, includ- ing six horses, and with a month’s pro- visions in pannier packs, set out over the Mullen trail for an exploring expe- dition on the eastern slope of the Rock- jes. After hard trials, and encompass- ing almost insurmountable difliculties, the little band finally reached the Yel- lowstone, floated down on a raft to the Big Horn river and made camp on an island in the wildest and most hostile portion of the United States. The geography of the country was little known in those days. Most of their traveling had to be done in the night time, as the country was full of Indians and therefore not being very able to distinguish tha country roun- about as they passed through itatnight, the range of mountains that loomed up in front of them one bright morning had neither name or location for them. Into these mountains they hurried, panning and prospecting as the and striking better pay the deeper and higher up the gulch they got. At last, coming to a wonderfully rich streak which prospected ‘handsomely. a shaft was sunk to bed-rock, which was only en feet below, and here was found gold from the grassroots down, panning all the way from 5¢ to $1 each trial, These frantic men made up their mind to stay all winter. They had plenty of powder and lead, the country was fuil of game, and so, without further delay the little pioneer party began work in dead carnest for a long winter’s stay. They whip-sawed lumber, built a dam across the creek, put up the sluice boxes, and sluiced from morning to night while the weather lasted. The average yield was about 8100 to a man until snow be- gan to fly. When the water froze, and mining operations had to be suspended, Cox, Jones and Hulburt had about half a bushel each of bright, sparkling nug- gets and gold dust, Now came winter, The time was too valuable while the season lasted to waste it in building op- erations; but it was now getting late, and the boys industriously whip-sawed lumber and cut logs sufficient to erect a cabin and surround it with a stockade. This was the famous cabin that has since been lost so many times. Hay was cut, too, for the five horses. One had been drowned in the Yellowstone. In the spring, when the water began to run again, the three men were at their sluice-boxes and taking out just as much rold as ever. One day Hulburt sud- enly returned to the cabin for some necessary article, leaving his two com- rades busily at work. Scarcety had he gotten out of sight when bang! bang! went a number ot vifles, and Cox and Jones lay weltering in their blood. From a tree Hulburt saw the Indians strip, scalp and mutilate his comrades, after which the redskins followed the well-beaten trail up to the cabin and rifled the latter of every sin- gle article or thing they wanted. They even attempted to set fire to the famous structure; but the logs were green and would not burn, thus sparing the cel- ebrated building to future discovery. After awhile the Indians left. Hulburt slipped quickly from his perch, gath- ered together a few necessary articles (the Indians had carried off the horse packed his , knapsack full of gold (bur ing such tryasure as he could not carry). and withou' pausing to look around or f'\;m to take a landmark, fled for his ife. HULBURT'S FLIGHT, His route did not lay back over the old trail he and his two friends had come the year before (the Indians had gone that way] but to the south, in the opposite direction, through a strange, wild, undiscovered country,so to speak, over which no white man's foot had ever traveled before. After many days, when far away from the camp he i rived at & lofty precipice where to the east could be seen a vast strotch of open drairie, while to the west was a lofty range of mountains whose !vmw-cnppea peaks pierced the very clouds. Hoping to strike some trail if he trusted to the open, Hulburt struck boldly out over the prairie, and headed a8 near as he coald judge, for the Platte crossing of the great transcontinental route to California. After eighteen dayshe did reach the North Platte rivgr, ninety miles above Fort Laramfe, at Reshaw's bridge, and found himself on the old trail which he had passed over, fifteen days before, on his way to California. Here he met the first white people he had seen for nearly two years, except of course, his slain comrades. The country was then on fire over the news from Alder gulch. Rich diggings had been reported on Grass- hopper creek and Alder in Montana, and the trend of the gold hunters was now toward the northwest instead of the setting sun, as was the case in 1849, Hulburt met a big stampede coming up the Platte bound for Montan. Without going back to the state or sending any word to his friends, he joined this party of El Dorado hunters, and was soon_ eu- route to the very country he had so anxiously been fléeing from during the previous thirty days. Going along, he told the story of his own wonderful ex- periences to others, which resulted in a split in the crowd, with him heading a new stampede, in which he came near getting killed for his pains, To show the size of this division, it is only neces- sary to state that' Hulburt had no less than 140 wagons at his heels, with something like 550 men, women and children, and all of these crazy people going off on a mad, wild chase after the goose that had laid the golden egg for Hulburt in the first instance. Hu#‘ident is it to say that they never found the bird. HULBURT'S CLOSE CALL, Hulburt proved a very bad pilot, and after leading his parly everywhere without success til winter came on, he finally and relubtantly confessed that he was lost, and his famous cabin mine along with him. This man, whose word had been law in camp for s0 many days, was now an outcast and in danger of death by violence. Men and women sprung at him like tigers, erying— “Lynch him; he has lied to us; lynch him!” Preparations were made for an im- promptu necktie party, and Hulburt was just about to be strung up, when the individual 1n that crazy mob, who had aspark of humanity left in him, ste{mc(} over to the doomed man’s side and drew his revolver. That was enough. Sullen with rage, but cowed by one man’s bravery, the lynching bee was postponed and poor wretched Hul- burt’s life spared. The Indians started on the war-path about this time, which made it a very unhealthy country for white people; whereupon the Lost Cabin stampeders hastened westward and scattered through the gulches in and around Virginia Cit, Hulburt was last seen in Virginia City in the fall of ’64. since when the world has lost track of him, although itstill remembered his famous though mythical lead. Hun- dreds saw the gold which Hulburt brought back with him from the Big Horn country, and since then a sort of blind faith has possessed many that the Lost Cabin mine really exists. Bart Beckley, a Colorado miner and chum of Jack McDouald, spent a year of his life searching the Big Horn, Castle and Emigrant mountains for this wonderful lead, but at last he, like the rest, be- came disheartencd and gave it up, although his belief in the existence of the mine was stronger at the close of unsuccessful search than when he began it. Jack McDenald spent many years in the mountain mining camps, during a twelve-month of which he was lost to all save himself, somewhere on the southern rlope of 'the Big Horn range, Suddenly Jack turned up all bustle and excitement’ leaving hurriedly for Colo- rado, but there he was taken sick and died in a cabin on Buckskin creek, where the city of Leadville now stands. Before he breathed his last he called his friend and *‘pard”—Bart Beckley— to his side, and told him of a lead in far- away Montana that he believed to be very rich. BART B] LEY'S BONANZA. Years 10lled 0n and Beckley, turning the story over and over in his mind fin- ally decided to make an attempt to find this famous mine of McDonald’s. He drifted thither among the mountains of the northwest, found himeslf first in the Black Hills, then in the Wood River country, and finally in the New World mining district, near the Big Horn. He recognized Cloud peak, the lofttiest pile in the country, and strange to say from the accurate description given him_ by his friend, he was enabled to find Me- Donald’s lead, which was half way up the side of the very mountain he was then exploring. But, alas, the dying wman was either deceived of else distance lent enchantment to the view, for the supposed gold had turned out to be only copper, which would not have paid the cost of mining it at that lofty attitude and in such rugged country. Bee confidently thought he was on the tr: of the Lost Cabin mine, but his prac- ticed eye told him at a glance that only copper 'lay before him, and he gave up the chase, returning to Colorado muvf) disheartened and thoroughly disgusted. Not long after Beckley’s failure an- other prospector from ~the southern mines, named Joe Sweeney. suddenly appeared in the Big Horn mountains, and spent days and days hunting for the lead that seemed to baffle all efforts at discovery. He finally stumbled upon a vein far up near the head of the Big- Horn canyon, which he firmly believed to be an outeropping of the famous lode, if not the mother treasure herself, The news was telegraped by the Associated vress giving an account of the discov- ery, saying that the *‘Lost Claim lead was found at last.” The discovery was twenty-five miles long, 620 feet wide, and where cut by the stream which crossed it, showed a perpendicular depth of sixty feet. Pieces of it were knocked off and sent to McVicker, of Salt Lake, for assay, and in two weeks a report came back showing 41.55 per cent of copper, with a trace of silver. A great lead had been discovered, for 50 per cent of the rock was pure metal; but there was not a sign of gold about it, and therefore it could not be the Lost Cabin, Agéin, unfortunately, this galena lode was on_ the Crow reserva- tion, which preculded the working of it, no matter how profitable it might be. JACK NYE'S ADVENTURE. A short time afterward J Nye (no relation to William and his cat), a well known Nevada prospector, appeared in the Big Horn country, and was lost to view for several months. All at once he bounced into Bozeman, and startled the natives with the assertion that he had positively discovered the Lost Cabin lead. It was, like Sweeney’s find, situ- ated near the headwaters of the Big Horn, where the famous river gushes a torrent down out of the mountains, the stream in gquestion cutting the ledge al- most at right angles. At this point the lode was 250 feet wide, and M id it showed up sixty odd feet on th He traced the lode across the coratry for twenty- five miles or more, finding it in places as much as sixty feet wide. Nye wired his father and uncle to come on without delay, but the result waseusily foreseen, for the vein which Nye . believed to be the much-sought.for Tost Cabin was neither more nor lass than Jeo Sweeney's old discovery. When Nye learned the truth—that another man had found the very same lead béfore him,and what was more, had given it up as no good he, too, surrendered in disgust, and went back to Nevada a very badly dis- appointed man. UNPARALLELED HARDINOOD. About this timé the Sitting Bull troubles came on, and the country where the Lost Cabin lead was sup- osed to be hid away became alive with ostile Indians. ‘Old Touka-te-tonka §Siu|ng Bull), with over a thousand odges, had his camp near the junction of the two Horn rivers,on the spot where General Custer afterward found him and met his death. Notwithstand- ing the frightful dangers and almost certain death awaiting any white man who should have the hardihood to pene- trate into the country, three white men did go prospecting up the Big Horn about this time, and made their way safely through the hostile region (traveling night and resting days), fir ally reaching the headwaters of the Little Big Horn in sufety: Here these three venturesome spirits came across a body of ore so large and so rich that they could hardly credit the evidence of their senses. Oldminers believe im- plicitly that all rich veins in a mineral country must be emanations from a backbone or mother lode. Here was unquestionably the mother lode. If the mythical Lost Cabin lead really had an existence, there could be no doubt but what these hardy prospectors had ac- tually stumbled upon it, for, from the description given, it was certainly the largest body of rich quartzin the known world. A SAD SEQUEL. But listen to the sequel. After work- ing until their tools wore out, the brave fellows built a boat with which to de- scend the river, loaded it down with nuggets and rich specimens (burying what they could not carry) and starte down stream intending to float by night to the Yellowstone, and thence on by daylight, and night {oo, until civiliza- tion or a settlement was reached. The plan was then to return with sufficient men and supplies to withstand the at- tacks of the red men and to work the uew mine for all there was in it. Had they known that the camp which they intended to steal past at midnight was the largest ever gathered together on the North American continent, stretching up and down the river for more than three miles, and containing between 5,000 and 6,000 warriors, it is probable they would have gone the other way and gotten out of the country with all’ possible haste. Their boat was discovered by an Indian dog whose single yelp set 10,000 other throats barking, and in their hurry to push forward the frail craft was upset in the rapids of the Little Horn, and the poor devils were prisoners. Two of the men were killed instantly, but the third, in the darkness of the night, managed to effect his escape, and after wandering abiout ifor. Aaya: and!daya ittt food and with little or no clothing, finally reached a settlement, more dead than alive. He related his experience, ex- hibited one or two nuggets of pure vir- gin gold in proof of his assertion, but would not give the exact location of the lode. Through his privications, suf- ferings and ponderings over his im- mense wealth his'mind became unbal- anced, and the poor fellow, unhappily became insane; and afterwards, when the country was opened up and Sitting Bull conquered, it was then too late to return to (the lead, for the only survivor who might have pointed out the doorway to untold millions was a babbling, senseless fool. His reason had left him. el WALKED IN HIS SLEEP* How John Callaghan Came to be Ar- rested for Grand Larceny. San Francisco Call; When the name of John Callaghan on a charge of grand larceny was called in Police Co 2 yesterday, a well-dressed, quiet-looking, middle-aged man stood up in the dock and pleaded not guilty. Officer Horton, who made the arrest, was called. and testified that on Monday night he was called to the lodging- house at 510 Ellis street to arrest a man who was roaming about the house in a strange manner. With some difficulty, and after he had chased the man about the house for some time, he caught him in the kitchen and arrested him. He was attired in his shirt only, and seemed in a dazed condition and not to r e his surrounding: The officer took him to the police station, and on the complaint of the landlady. charged him with grand larceny. Mrs. Helen Grant, the landlady, was then called, and testified that at a late hour on Monday night she was aroused by loud screams from the room of Miss Nel- lie Porter, one of her lodgers, and on going to her door was mnearly knocked down by a man who rushed out in hir shirt-sleeves. he raised an alarm and sent for en officer, and on his taking the man into custody discovered he was the one who had rented a room from her that day. She went into his room when the officer had arrested him, and found a lady’s bonnet, & pair of gloves, some stockings, and a lady’s gold brooch se- creted in the wardrobe, and on making inquiries found that they belonged to Miss Florence Allen,another of her ten- ants, and for this reason she had Cal- laghan charged with grand larceny. Miss Allen identified the articles ns her own,and said that she had laid them on her bureau befo; Miss Porter testified that she was awakened on the night in question by a noise in her room, and saw by the dim light of the hall a man standing at her bureau and apparently brushing his hair before the mirror. She screamed, and the intruder made his escape. She saw him after his arvest, but could not positively identify him, but thought he was the same one, The defendant was then placed on the stand, and testiffed substantially as fol- lows: i “My name is John Callaghan and I am aminer. I eame to this city on Sunday last and took a room at Mrs. Grant’s house, On Monday evening I went to bed ahout 11 o'clock, and knew nothing further until I was awakened by stumbling over something and heard a man tell me to stop running. I found myself in the kitchen with very few clothes on, and this officer and and the household standing about me and asking me all sorts of questions. I was so bewildered that I could not ex- plain myself, and then the policeman took me to the lockup. The only ex- planation I can make of how I got into the kitchen is th When 1 was a young man I was subject to fits of som- nambulism, and have frequently walled in my sleep during the past few years. *About the things found in my room I know nothing, and the interval from the time I went to bed to the'timel awoke in the kitchen is a blank to me. I suppose the excitement of my journey from the north worked on me, and I got up and acted as these ladies testify.” Frank Peterson, an engineer, and William Jennings, & mining expert, both testified that they had known the defendant for a long time and that he was subject to fits of sleep-walking, and would wander about for hours if not awakened.
