THE CROW INDIANS' WORK. They Send White Prospectors to fthe Happy Hunting Ground— The Lead Never Re- discovered, Perhaps the most famous, as well as the most mysterious, mine on the con- tinent is the celcbrated Lost Cabin Lead, says a Fort Keogh, Mont., letter to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, 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 is orie of the magnets that drew Thomas Paige Comstock (Old Pan- cake) north from hs Nebraska bonanzas; but he never found the lead, and ho came but to find a suicide’s death, Th Lost Cabin has grown to be some 13 of a legend, although there cun be no doubt that rich veins of gold are scat- tered all through the Big Horn range, and among these moun- tains this much-sought mine is snugly hidden away and will probably remain so until eome lucky prospecior tumbles upou it nd so_be- comes a thrice millionaire ina twink- ling, That there is gold in the Big Horn mountains cannot be questioned. Colors have been found all along the Big and Little Horn and other rivers, and at the mouths of the Big Horn and Rosebud a little industrious panning on the bars will show undoubted signs of auriferous washings.. But the weasurs vaults of the Big Horn must be closed to prospectors for many years yet,us the Crow Indians are barons, in fee, of all that rich country. and do not propose to part with one inch of their birthright }ur love or money until a wise congress legislates on the matter and throws th *h lands—rich in minerals and —open to the industrious white prospector and [armer, whether the Crows like it or not. Allen Hulburt, o 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 eitizen of Juanes- ville, Wis., in 1849, when he caught the Californis o, and 0 in October of the su av he left home, friends, » behind him and jour neyed neross the plains to the Pacifie Eldorado, e worked his way north to Oregon, then into what is now Wash- ington, and in the spring of 1863 found himself in Walla Walla without o cent in his pocket. : In company with two other roving spirits—one Jones and one Cox—the trio bought anew prospecting outfit, including six horses, and, with a month’s provisions in pannier packs, set out ov: » Mullen trail for an ex- ploring expedition on tne eustern slope of the Itockies, After hard trials, and upassing almost insurmountable ulties, the little band finally reached the Yellowstone, floated down on a raft to the Big Horn river, and made camp on an is- in the wildest and m portion of the United Stats graphy of the country was lit- days. Most of their traveling had to be done in the night time, as the country was full of Indians, and therefore, not being well able to distinguish the country roundahouts they passed through it at night, the range of mountains that loomed up just in front of them one bright morning fuul neither name nor location for them. Into these mountain yhey hurried, pros- ting ard panning as 'they went, and striking better pay the deeper and higher up the gulch they got. . At last coming to a. wonderfully rick streak which prospected handsomely,a shaft wus suuk 0 bed rock, which ‘was ouly seven feet below, and here was found gold from the grass roots down, panning all the way from These frantic men made up their minds all winter, They had plenty of powder and lead, the country was' full of game, and so, without further delay, the little pioneer party began work in wnest for o long winter’s stay. They whip-sawed lumber, built a dam across the ereek, put upsluice-boxes,and while the weather lasted. The average yield was about $100 a day to the mi waste it in building operations; butnow it was getting late; and the boys indus- triously whip-sawed lumber and cut logs sufficient to erect round it with a stockade.
