Famous Mine is Located Again
Lost Cabin Diggings Moved to Middle Piney Creek in the Big Horns
(Special to the Tribune)

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Sept. 19. - The famous "Lost Cabin" mine appears to
have been discovered again, this time on a fork of Middle Piney
creek a few miles above Story postoffice in the Big Horn mountains.
Recently the fabled mine was reported to have been discovered on
the opposite side of the Big Horns, fifty miles away, and on numerous
other occasions its discovery at widely separated other points in the
range in which legend says it exists have been reported. Always,
however, further investigations has revealed that the old workings
assumed to be those of the "Lost Cabin" mine were not on a vein
of the fabulous richness accredited to the Lost Cabin.

The old workings above Story which may be the Lost Cabin mine were
found recently by Kenneth Bellows, a Sheridan mining man, and William
Babione, a ranchman residing in the vicinity who is able to testify
that no mining operations have been carried on in that district during
the last 40 years. The men came upon an old tunnel, the entrance
concealed by underbrush and the roof caved in at several points.
This extended into the mountain 50 feet. At the end were two shovels
and two picks the handles of which had almost rotted away, two
rusty kettles and a heap of mouldering cloth and bones which may be
the clothing and remains of a man but which the explorers judged to
be deer or elk bones and rotted sacking. The presence of the tools,
placed as they would have been by a person intending soon to return
and resume using them, indicates that the owner probably was prevented
by some unexpected happening from returning.

near the mouth of the old tunnel Bellows and Babione unearthed what
appeared to be the rotted remains of a tent, and on a nearby peak
they found the remains of what probably was a stone lookout, probably
used in watching for the approach of Indians. Thirty years ago near
this spot Babione picked up a human skull.
