There is a rumor to the effect that the Iron Mountain mine, situated near Superior, is to be operated again within the near future.

For more than two years the property has been shut down owing to the inability of the machinery to be successfully operated at so great a depth. According to present plans a large tunnel is to be constructed at an expenditure of so as to facilitate matters in the handling of the ore. For a number of years this was considered the most valuable property in all of the Coeur dAlene country, and during the palmy days paid some handsome dividends to the stockholders, many of whom are residents of Missoula and western Montana. Thomas Greenough of Missoula, who is heavily interested in a number of properties in western Montana and eastern Idaho, Is said to have acquired a big block of stock in the Iron Mountain property recently, which was purchased from Helena parties, who were unfavorable to the proposition of going ahead with the contemplated Improvements owing to the great expense that would be entailed in constructing the tunnel. The property is said to be as valuable as ever, providing a tunnel is constructed, and according to the most reliable reports this is likely to be done within the very near future.

The report says that since the establishment of the office, the bank and trust companies in the state have increased from nine in 1895 to twenty-nine at (Present, two-thirds of which were during the past four years.

It is stated that the only shortage in accounts was found in the office of J. P. public administrator of Galla tin county, who was $1,459.20 short. It is stated, however, that no loss resulted to the state, but that the heirs of J. A.

Darton suffered. It is stated that it was the county commissioners' duty to look after the office of public administrator.

Thomas Patent, one of the owners of the coal mine which is developing into a promising property near Darby, spent a couple of days this week interviewing the residents of Missoula in regard to a market for the product of the mine. The assurance was given him that if the coal was ot a good quality and could be sold in competition with the coal now on the local market he would be accorded all courtesy and Darby coal would be pushed for all that its merits would justify.

The mine is located a short distance from Darby and the statement is made that the Northern Pacific railway is willing to build a spur track to the mine in order that it will not be necessary to handle the coal twice; that it can be shipped to wherever a market Is secured direct from the mine. According to Hamilton advices some of the coal has been marketed In that city during the last week, the prevailing price being $3 per ton. That price is considerably lower than coal can be sold for in this section when it is shipped either from the mines in the eastern part of Montana or from the fields at Diamondville, from where the greater part of the coal consumed In Missoula is derived. Nothing concerning the quality of the Darby coal is known in the city, but report says that it is of a good grade, burns freely and produces a great heat. The district surrounding Darby is favorable for the production of coal and it is thought that the fields are extensive and that they extend entirely across the summit of the Rocky mountains and into the Big Hole basin, good croppings and veins of a slight depth having been uncovered in the latter section during the placer operations which have been conducted in the past.

Should the Darby fields prove to be permanent and the veins develop well, it is not at all unlikely that all of the coal used in this part of Western Montana will come from the fields near the head of the Bitter Root in the near future.

HAMILTON OLD SETTLER HAD EVIDENTLY DIED FROM EXPOSURE TO COLD IN MOUNTAINS. Coroner J.

M. Lucy was called to Thompson Falls yesterday afternoon by the report that the body of Dave Courtier had been found early yesterday morning by neighbors who had been searching for it for the past few days. As reported exclusively in yesterday's Missoulian, Mr. Courtier has been missing since Monday, at which time he left Thompson with the intention of going to his ranch, two miles north of town, near the foothills and at the mouth of a canyon known as Snowslide gulch. That was the last seen of him alive, and his friends became alarmed concerning his disappearance, and Wednesday morning they organized a search party and scoured the hills and valley surrounding Thompson.

When darkness came Wednesday evening they had secured no trace of the old man, but early yesterday morning his remains were found in a little gully where he had gone for shelter after becoming exhausted on the trail. Mr. Courtier was one of the earliest settlers of the valley and about 70 years old. He was a veteran of the civil war and as far as is known had no relatives in Montana. Being one of the earliest settlers in the Thompson section he had his choice in the selection of a home, and the ranch he picked was in the foothills about a mile and three-quarters from where the town of Thompson was afterwards established.

He accumulated a small amount of livestock and was in fairly comfortable circumstances, making enough each year to hold his own. About five years ago Mr. Courtier was hurt in an accident on the railroad. At the time he was walking along the track and was knocked oti by a passing engine. Ever since that time he has been lame and it was witf-some difficulty that he made his way from place to place.

This lameness, with the weakness brought by his old age, is thought to be responsible for his death. Monday night was one of the coldest of the season, and it is thought that he was belated on his homward trip; that he became bewildered and wandered from the trail and finally sat down to rest and the sleepiness which the cold produces caused him to yield to its fatal influence and the rest he found was an eternal one. Mr. Lucy held an inquest last night and is expected home this morning.

Special to The Dally Missoulian.

Drurnmond, Dec. 3. Freight Conductor Frank H. Zirbell and Head Brakeman R. R.

Chesbro of train No. 57 were instantly killed here at noon today by being caught between two cars. No. 57, on Its arrival here, was cut from the engine and a switch engine was ordered to cut an intermediate car out. The train was broken in two and Zirbell and Chesbro went In between the two sections to adjust, it is said, a drawbar.

The two sections were suddenly shunted together and the men were caught by the drawbars and crushed, sustaining such Injuries that they died instantly. The engineer of the switch engine claims that he received a signal to back his cars. It Is claimed by some of the railroad men that the cars were bad orders and that Zirbell and Chesbro were caught by the heavy timber work and not by the drawbars. The coroner at Phllipsburg was no-tilled of the accident immediately and authorized the justice of peace here to hold an inquest. At 5 o'clock this evening a verdict was returned of "death due to accident." The remains of both the men were shipped to Missoula on No.

3. Frank H. Zirbell came to Missoula three years ago accompanied by his brother, Fred Zirbell, from his home in Cul de Sac, Idaho. He obtained a position with the Northern Pacific as a freight brakeman and by strict adherence to business and untiring effort he rose to the position of freight conductor In a remarkably short time. He has been on the run between here and Helena since becoming associated with the road.

The officials and his fellow employes speak very highly of the unfortunate young man and deeply regret his untimely end. He was 26 years of age and a native of Cul de Sac. Head Brakeman Chesbro has been with the road for a number of years, most of his time being devoted to this division. His fellow workmen say that he was a man of splendid personality and one who enjoyed a very extensive acquaintance. He has no relatives here, but a wire was sent last night to his brother In Iowa.

He was about 46 years of age and unmarried. The remains of the two unfortunate trainmen are at the Lucy undertaking parlors. Monday morning Fred Zirbell will leave for Cul de Sac with his brother's body. MARK WAUGH KILLED. Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Hamilton, Dec. 3. Mark Waugh was instantly killed while working on Willow creek this afternoon. He was engaged as a teamster in 'the lumber woods and was driving a truck. In some manner, nobody knows just how, he fell off and the wheels, passing over his head, crushed It like an eggshell.

Just before the discovery of the awful accident was made the foreman of the woods had occasion to call to Waugh and tell him something about the work. He replied cheerily and a minute later the foreman again looked In Waugh's direction and was horrified to see his lifeless body on the ground with the truck team left un-guided. Hamilton was notified and Coroner Lockwood and a brother, Al Waugh, who is employed at the Bitter Root farm, left for the scene of the accident. Mark Waugh was one of the well-known residents of this section. He has relatives living in the Ross Hole country, and his father Is proprietor of a hotel at Sulu.

He was a young man, sober and industrious, and had a wide circle of friends throughout the Bitter Root valley. TO FACE GRAND JURY. Denver, Dec. 8. United States Commissioner A.

B. Capron today bound over to the grand jury Max and William Schradsky, two of the persons charged conspiracy to prevent people from voting at the recent election. Sadie Plessner, Macklsslck and Samuel Slatkln were discharged, although Commissioner Capron, in rendering his decision, said: "The conduct of the latter was reprehensible and they could be punished for misconduct at an election, but the evidence does not justify holding them on the charge of conspiracy. It does not appear that they said or did anything to prevent the people from wting." All of the defendants were election officials. The two Schradskys acted as constables and the testimony offered by the attorneys for the republicans Bhowed that they ran the polling place to suit themselves.
