JUMPED THE SWITCH.

Two Engines and Five Coat Cars Piled
up on the Union Line.
Two trains on the Montana Union rail.
way collided yesterday about :3O near the
Parrot smelter, and as a result W en-
gtnes and five ore cars were left in a badly
dilapidated condition. An engine pulling
five ore cars had started for the Anaconda
mines. An incoming engine held the main
line beyond the switch track that bears of
TO the right. The ore t1ain was signslIed
ahead, and the engi:,eer, assured of a clear
track, dropped the reverse lever
down in this six,inch notch and
went dancing toward the cut : off.
An irregularity in the switch caused the
forward trucks TO climb the rail, and in.
stantly the swiftly moving engine veered
and collided with the locomotive standing
on the main line. The force Of contact was
such that pilots, 'front.' ends and cylinder
heads were crushed like egg shells. The ore
cars bringing up the rear, began tumbli.g
over the tender aud rolling into the cab.
The engineer of the switch engine took a
hasty.mental inventory OF himself, and,
concluding he was in no moral condition to
make his exit from this mundane sphere,
proceeded to unceremoniOusly dump him.
self out OF the cab window. He concluded
to go, and went. He didn't wait for the
stipulated five minutes variation, but
sidetracked at once. II thought the ore
cars would never quit pilin' up" remarked
the throttle-puller." "They r~eminded:me OF |
a flock ofkkeep. They kept comm until |
the last car had landed ON the tank. It |
was too close quarters for MI and I quit |

switch points must have been sprupg |

side IL ack." The loss will .ggregate several
thousands If dollars. Superintendent
Baldwin was at once notified of the wreck
and, with a gan of men, repaired to the
to clear up the wreck. The debris
vas soon removed, and in two hours the
rack had been cleared and trains were
as usual.

The Volunteer.

During the past two weeks rumers of a
rich strike on the 4O0,foot level Of the
Volunteer mine have been flying thick and
fast-so fast, in fact, that it has been al
most impossible to corral one rumor long
enough to catch another one and add the
two together and ascertain Just what they
amount to.
The property OF the company consists of
one full patented claim-6OOx1, 500 feet.
The main ledge is said to have all the
characteristics of the vein on which the
Gagnon is located, and is, it is said, a
continuation of the same. The vein is 40
feet in width, but it is not all solid mineral,
Previous to the strike on the 40O-foot lev
Ell, the vein seemed to be very much
disturbed, but a portion OF the ledge is
now more compact. About $780, 900 worth
OF ore has been taken from the surface of
the ground to a depth Of sixty feet. This
ore was found in punches and kidneys, and
Its value averaged about seventy ounces in
silver to the ton. The character Of the
ore was principally a dry sulphide. The
main shaft on the Volunteer is
now down 400 feet. At present
the rock is hoisted to the surface
in q bucket, but a cage has been ordered
and possibly by the latter part of this
week it will take the place Of the bucket.
From the 200 I'M 3O0-foot stations cross
cuts and levels have been run and copsid- |
erable ore Of both a free-milling and base
character have been found, some OF which
was high grade; but the vein at these
|evels was SO badly broken that the fore
man concluded that greater depth was
necessary in order to catch the vein mat
Ter in q more compact form. 1t is now
stated that solid ore has been struck in the
Vsst end OF the 400-foot level. Several as.
'ays OF the ore have been taken by parties
Who are interested in the Volunteer, some
II which ran from $50 ounces to 757
'unces in silver per ton. 1t is said that
dayor Kenyon now has q certificate of as.
ay bearing the 757 figures.
A reporter for The MINER visited the
nine yesterday and discovered that an ore
in had been built on the west side of the
Jump and that about a ton OF ore had :
cen thrown therein. Stock in the mine is
ow held at 20 cents per share. |,

Copper company. who have been in the
state for several days past on business con.
nected with the Boston and Montana com
pany. examined several OF the company's
mines in this city yesterday. To say that
they were pleased with what they saw
would be only q mild way OF expressing it.
The Mountain View, in particular, struck
the gentlemen as being n OF the greatest
properties owned by the company, but
this is mainly because the development
work lone in the mine is such that the
ore bodies ere shown of to greater
advantage than they are at any OF
the other mines owned by the company.
The amount OF ore exposed to view in the
Mountain View is almost beyond compre-
hension. It is estimated that when the
company has uee for it, which will be when
the new smelter at Great Falls is com-
pleted, 1000 tons Of ore daily will be the
product OF the mine. The ore.will average
in copper and silver about $25 per ton.
This is q rather low estimate, but it is |
better to have it too low than too high. |
One thousand tons per day then would be |
$25, 900; one month Of thirty days, |
100000, and for one year OF 365 days,
50, 125, 900.
By the time the smelter at Great
