1879: THE WEIRD CREATURE OF HUMMINGBIRD MINE
Of all the strange incidents that have taken place in Idaho, the
mysterious deaths of Henry Ludlum and Albert Humburg in 1879 certainly
rank near the top of the list.
The incident took place in April 1879 in Sleight's Canyon (now Paris
Canyon--J.T.), a few miles west of Paris, Idaho. Humburg, an immigrant
from Germany, owned the mine but leased it out to the three bachelor
Ludlum brothers.
Henry Ludlum told his brothers that he had heard strange noises coming
from behind the rock walls while working in the shaft. His brothers
said it was simply the ground settling. When Henry insisted that he
had heard odd, faint shrieks, whistles and metallic clanking noises,
his brothers simply laughed at him. Incensed, Henry decided to obtain
some proof. Here's how it all went down in the words of Humburg's
daughter, Mrs. Emma Hymas.
"I will never forget that April morning when I was just four. There
was still a lot of snow with a right heavy crust on top. Ludlum banged
on our door and said one of his brothers went down in the mine to work
and had not showed up. They had called down the mine shaft over and
over again, but there was no answer."
"Father just left the breakfast table, put on his new red cap, and
went. That new cap just stuck in my mind because I wondered why he did
not have it on when they found him."
"The Ludlums had run into pockets of 'foul air' in their mine, but had
been lighting fires to kind of make it safe, I guess. When Father
reached the mine, he said he would go down in the bucket to see what
was wrong."
"He found Ludlum, all right, but he was dead."
"He tied the body tightly to the bucket with a rope and gave the
signal to be pulled up. About halfway up, the other fellow heard a
groan and a body drop."
"When they called and got no answer from Father, they got scared and
hurried to Paris (Idaho) for help. Paris was a long way down the
canyon with snow- crusted roads."
"A lot of men came back with them. They had some horses hitched to a
bobsled, but by that time it was way in the afternoon, and nobody
wanted to go down in that mine..."
"Finally they got some kind of grappling hook and kind of hooked it
into his overalls, which were brand new. By being right careful, they
finally pulled him out. Bob Spence, a lawyer who was there, figured he
could see some signs of life in Father, but they did not know much
about artificial respiration in those days."
"I can remember so plain Mother leaving the house and climbing the
hill by our place with my brother Albert, who was only six, and
sending him down the other side of the hill on our homemade toboggan
to tell our neighbors, the Foxes, that Father was dead."
"They finally got the bodies down to the courthouse where they had
some kind of an inquest. Neither one of those mines was ever used
again..."
No one could explain the mystery. Two grown men, strapping Idaho pit
miners, found dead underground and not a mark on them. Nor could they
explain Albert Humburg's strange soft groan or what had taken his new
red hat.
The Humburg mine eventually became known locally as the Hummingbird
Mine, and it's still up there in Paris Canyon, about 25 miles (40
kilometers) south of Soda Springs, Idaho.
