THE ANACONDA MINE.
Output Work Suspended on tho LIST.

The Miner OF Sunday announced that or
ders had been received to discharge the mi
ners in the Anaconda mine, Butte, and that
only four men would be kept under ground.
Some $50 or 800 miners had been employed
there. The presumption was that as the
Anaconda Company has 800 900 tons Of ore on
the dump, and as the full capacity Of the
smelter at Anaconda-fve hundred tons
daily--can be mined as fast as required,
Aessrs. Haggin & Tevis had concluded 1t
was best TO convert this immense dump, es-
timated TO be worth twelve or fifteen million
dollars, into money and not carry such a
heavy output ahead. The Inter Mountain,
however, on Monday took the following view
OF the situation, intimating the suspension
Of work will be of only short duration: "For
the past three years, almost without inter-
ruptIon, operations have been continued at
the Anaconda, and with ceaseless regularity
the cages have assembled and descended the
shaft. The machinery and workmanship In
the mine have been Of the best. The utmost
care has been taken to procure durability
and prevent delay, and all that was possible
IN this direction has been secured. But iron
will wear and shaft timbers will settle and
get out Of plumb, which is the cause Of the
shutting down of this property for the next
week or two. Tho air COMPRISING appara-
tus is in need Of extensive repairs, and the
guides in the shaft require adjustment. The
men cannot work in the mine without air
and 1t is impossible to work In the shaft with
cages constantly running up and down, and
the present was thought the best possible
time to prosecute the necessary repairs and
put the mine In shape"

Last Spike Anniversary.

While the last rail of the n. =. road was
actually laid August %, 1883, at point four
miles below Garrison, the grand celebration
of that event did not take place until SeptS,
when few hundred feet Of the track was
taken up and relaid with imposing ceremo-
MES In the presence of the most distinguished
assemblage that ever congregated in Mon
tana or the Northwest. That 1t was the &C
tual completion of the road was q fiction
but as formal opening IL was the most mag
nihcent demonstration that ever occurred in
America. In some respects it was conducted
with aristocratic snobbishness, and many of
US who did not get the idea all at once that
the blowout was gotten up exclusively for
the delectaton of Mr.. Wizards imported
guests, were thoughtless enough to notice
with Indignation the exclusiveness OF their
mutual admiration antics. But IL was big
show, and It was free and when VIC recall
the brilliant pageant, the meteoric greatness
OF Willard, which eliminated that day the
distressful fortunes that have befallen the
company from the refusal of the palace car
crowd to be beguiled into investing In North.
ern Pacific and Transeontinental securities,
and the ginning up they got before the ex-
cursion ended, we are disposed to believe
the hundreds of the "Rowdy West" who
stood on the lower platforms that day had
the best Of it, even though they were hungry
and athirst and lost n few hours sleep. 1t
was al event the like Of which we shall
never see again, and when the lads who were
tbere-even "Thad Stephens boy" that we
heard Of ia the Constitutional Convention
are white with years, the traffic Of the con-
tinent will still be laundering over the
scenes Of the asst Spike, and 1t is fair to pre-
sumo the Northern Pacific will be solid and
successful company, and Wizards name, with
his virtues remembered and his follies for
gotten, will be bright in its historic annals.
Last Spike Day may not become national
holiday, but IL Is entitled to at least one an
niversary remembrance In Montana, and We
recommend that on the occasion each Mon
tana participant partake Of good square
in-memory .of-the- last-spike meal. and that
Tom Baker, of the had,sonian, be asked to
say grace at midday.

The School House Matter.

At the school election last Friday on the
proposition to vote $4,000 additional bonds
for the school house construction, there were
I33 votes CASTS for and and As against the
bonds. The proposition was therefore re-
jected. We know Of no disposition by any
one to leave tho school house uncompletsd
The only question is the method. We were
informed last evening that Trustees Irvine
and stackpolc had placed their designations
in the hands OF Clerk Cockrsll, to be deliv-
cred to Superintendent Catlin on his return.
II accepted, other Trustees will be appointed,
and there are several parties who propose to
advance funds to roof the building ut once
and take bonds st par for the amount when
the same are issued. Probably the plan sug.
ge.ted In this paper two weeks ago will be
followed, as it seems the approved solution
Of the problem.

Fatal Accident at Phiiipsburg.

Me.srs. +. D. Holland and James Gala
CHER, of Philipsbu-g, inform us of the acct
dental killing OF John Gallagher and Alex
ander Raith in tho No. 2 tunnel Of the Gran
lite Mountain mine, about or a. m. last
Friday. The two men were working alone
on the night shift. Their bodies were found
by the day shift going in at o'clock. A
Burleigh drill is used, and generally ten or
twelve holes are drilled, the charge and Il
long fuse then inserted and all fred together
by splitting" the fuse with a hot iron, the
mon retiring. As four or five charges were
found with the fuse not "spitted" it was pre-
sumed there was bad fuse used in
one charge and that it ran quick" causing
the explosion before the men could get
away. Both were found near the face Of the
1900 foot tunnel, having evidently been
blown back by the explosion. Both were
dead. Gallagher was cut in the head and his
brains blown out Raith's clothes were al
most blown off, his liver and bowels protru-
ding. The men were taken to Philipsburg,
and the funeral on Sunday was the largest
over seen there. The men would not have
the bodies hauled to the cemetery, mile
away, but took the collins on their shoulders
and carried them the entire distance. Both
were steady, good men. Gallagher was a
native of Ireland, aged %, an excellent man,
and had been in Philipsburg about years.
He was nephew OF Mr.. James Gallagher.
Raith had only been in the camp few days.
Letters found on him show he had a wife and
children.
rSI. - l.
d. Brown, J. p, found in accordance with
the facts, adding: while the jury does not
find the Granite Mountain Mining Company
directly to blame in the matter, they would
suggest to them the immediate discontinu-
auce Of the quality of fuse in present use at
their mine, as the same, in the opinion Of the
jury, is highly [omissionl to the lives of
those who use It,"

COMMISSIONERS, CONVENTION.
Northern Pacific Taxation-New Legislation
Recomms ended.

We are indebted to John Y. Batterton,
Esq, for a copy Of the proceedings Of the
convention Of County Commissioners, which
met in Helena July %, and an adjourned
meeting of whom will take place in Helena
Friday, Sept. IL. We make the following
extracts:
The matter of assessment Of the n. P. r. r.
Co. being fully discussed, Col j. A. Johnston,
District Attorney, At the request of the Con
vention, gave as his opinion that, notwith-
standing the decision Of Judge Wade to the
contrary, all property Of the N. P. r. r. Co.
in the Territory was subject to taxation.
1t was further thought advisable to have
the legal advice of Z. w. and J. X. Toole,
vhereupon J. X. Toole, one II said firm,
came before the Convention and said 1t being
a matter of great Importance, he was not
prepared upon 80 short notice to give legal
opinion thereupon.
Further consideration of the matter was
deferred until the adjourned meeting. to
vited.
1t was resolved as the sense of the meeting
that the several Boards of the Territory me-
morializs the ensuing session of the Legisla-
ture to enact such laws as will conform with
the following recommendations
"Where real estate has been improperly
described by the Assessor, authorize the
County Commissioners, at any of their regu-
lar sessions, to order correct description of
the same"
"where lands are redeemed for taxes, the
interest should be greatly reduced, as it is
now exorbitant."
"And in case of no bidders for any real
estate for taxes, authorize your - to bid
in the same for the -"
"Whsre real estate is missed for any year,
authorize your Assessor to back-tax the same
for all back years"

We understand Toole & Toole are now pre-
pairing a written opinion on the matter OF

troll, another started in an unoccupied house
on Front street, where loose women live, and
three onestory frames were burned; most Of
furniture being saved. The wind was blow
ing toward the business part Of town,
and emily almost supsrhuman exertions pre-
vented further spread and total destruction
of the city.

The Madisonidn mentions as two singular
circumstances connected with the death Of
DIR. i. G. Smith, the following: 1.-TWO singu-
lar events in connection with this unfortu-
nate event are related. One, that the team,
while within few feet of water, had stood
there for over forty hours without making
an effort to get away, although they could
easily have drawn the light vehicle down to
the river; and the other Is that the clock in
the doctors office, aud the watch which he
was carrying, both stopped at the same mo-
ment, and, probably, at the identical time
that the fatality occurred"
During the excitement occasioned by the
fire yesterday morning, James Fletcher
shot twice at Amos Sonbcrg, who had re-
fused to stop removing some goods from the
street at Fletchers request. Explanations
revealed the fact that Fletcher was one of
several special policemen, who had instruc-
tions 10 shoot at any one caught in the act Of
removing goods or setting fire, while Son.
berg had been requested by the owner to
remove the goods. There was nc hard feel
ing, but each were obeying orders. Neither
of the shots took effect, and tho authorities
discharged both parties, holding that they
were not criminally guilty Hissoula Times.

An idea of the volume OF the late storm on
the Missouri Division Of the Northern Pa
cific may be gained from the following as
told by n railroad official to the Mandan
Pioneer: At places the heavy track, includ-
ing ties and rails, was carried intact dis
lance OF one hundred yards from the road
bed. The water came down In torrents. IL
did not take time to rain, and hail fell so
rapidly during the progress OF the storm that
in places the ground was covered with hall
stones 10 depth Of Eve feet. In many places
the hail was two feet deeptwenty -four hours
after the storm ahated, when Assistant supt
Green and other officials arrived at the scene
OF Destruction. The tracks and bridges have
all been temporarily repaired and made per-
pectly safe. The permanent repairs will re-
quire several weeks longer.
