Humburg, an immigrantfrom Germany, owned the mine but leased it out to the three bachelorLudlum brothers.Henry Ludlum told his brothers that he had heard strange noises comingfrom behind the rock walls while working in the shaft. His brotherssaid it was simply the ground settling. When Henry insisted that hehad heard odd, faint shrieks, whistles and metallic clanking noises,his brothers simply laughed at him. Incensed, Henry decided to obtainsome proof. Here's how it all went down in the words of Humburg'sdaughter, Mrs. Emma Hymas."I will never forget that April morning when I was just four. Therewas still a lot of snow with a right heavy crust on top. Ludlum bangedon our door and said one of his brothers went down in the mine to workand had not showed up. They had called down the mine shaft over andover again, but there was no answer.""Father just left the breakfast table, put on his new red cap, andwent. That new cap just stuck in my mind because I wondered why he didnot have it on when they found him.""The Ludlums had run into pockets of 'foul air' in their mine, but hadbeen lighting fires to kind of make it safe, I guess. When Fatherreached the mine, he said he would go down in the bucket to see whatwas wrong.""He found Ludlum, all right, but he was dead.""He tied the body tightly to the bucket with a rope and gave thesignal to be pulled up. About halfway up, the other fellow heard agroan and a body drop.""When they called and got no answer from Father, they got scared andhurried to Paris (Idaho) for help. Paris was a long way down thecanyon with snow- crusted roads.""A lot of men came back with them. They had some horses hitched to abobsled, but by that time it was way in the afternoon, and nobodywanted to go down in that mine...""Finally they got some kind of grappling hook and kind of hooked itinto his overalls, which were brand new. By being right careful, theyfinally pulled him out. Bob Spence, a lawyer who was there, figured hecould see some signs of life in Father, but they did not know muchabout artificial respiration in those days.""I can remember so plain Mother leaving the house and climbing thehill by our place with my brother Albert, who was only six, andsending him down the other side of the hill on our homemade tobogganto tell our neighbors, the Foxes, that Father was dead.""They finally got the bodies down to the courthouse where they hadsome kind of an inquest. Neither one of those mines was ever usedagain..."No one could explain the mystery. Two grown men, strapping Idaho pitminers, found dead underground and not a mark on them. Nor could theyexplain Albert Humburg's strange soft groan or what had taken his newred hat.The Humburg mine eventually became known locally as the HummingbirdMine, and it's still up there in Paris Canyon, about 25 miles (40kilometers) south of Soda Springs, Idaho.Drop by and visit this summer...if you dare!
