Washington, the great-grandfather Of
George, emigrated to America in 1867 or
1853. Among the notable neighbors OF
the Washingtons were the Fairfaxes and
the Harrisons. Major General Thomas
Fairfax and Major General Thomas Har-

army. The brothers, John and Laurence,
sons Of Sir William Washington, left
England during the rule Of Cromwell

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND OBJ.

INSTRUMENTATION AND OBJ.
JECTIONs.
The news Of the passage Of the state
hood bill through Congress, the p~articu.
lars of which were given in TIE MINER
yesterday morning, was received by the
people of Butte with general rejoicing
Here and there a person would be found
who thought the expenses and RESPONSE
bilities incurred by statehood more than
counterbalanced the advantages re-
sulting.
Statehood, it is true, does mean in
creased duties and it may, or may not,
mean increased b~urdens-that depends.
But it also means increased advantages,
in that capital and population will the
more eagerly flow into our borders. With
these will come greater ability to meet
the additional burdens.
Noone need regard with a%pprehensions
this new condition, for it simply puts
Montana and the great Northwest on an
equal footing with other commonwealth
in the union. Given this condition, the
Northwest will take care of itself. Its
politics and government will be home
made.
The formalities yet to be gone through
with to complete the work done by Con-
gress, will doubtless follow 50 precisely
that no hitch will result. The May cleo
ton, the 4th of July convention, and
the autumn ratification will complete
the work.

wAsHINGToN,s BIRTHDAY.


This is Washington's Birthday, a legal
holiday, but one which, of late years
has, unfortunately, become more honored
in the breach than in the observance.
George Washington was born near the
Potomac river, in Westmoreland county,
Va, in 1732. He was the son of Angus.
tine Washington, a planter, and his sec
ond wife Mary Bell. His g~reat-grand-
father, John Washington, emigrated
with his brother Lawrence from England
to Virginia about 1867. The father of
his country died December IA, l79a, at
Mount Vernon, Va.
The history of George Washington's
British ancestors has been traced back
on m side to the Norman conquerors of
England, and on the other to the Saxons,
and from the earliest d., ties the family
appears to have belonged to the landed
gentry or lower nobility. Freeman, the
historian, says: "The Teutonic clan.
which in some %unrecorded settlement of
our folk planted OF a spot Of English
soil the obscure name of the Wascingps.
dreamed not that the name of their little
mark should become the first of names
in a younger and vaster England"
While the lame of Washington is of
German origin, the blood is largely
Norman. The old record says that when
Henry VIII dissolved the inconsistencies in
l52s-2s he gave the land in Sulgrave with
other estates in Northampton to Laurence
Washington of Northampton, gentleman,
who built a stone house on the estate:
and there eleven children and sixteen
grandchildren were born G~ncluding John
and Laurence. the emlgrants to America)
and fourteen great-grandchildren. 1t is
almost in the center of England ard in
a quiet, rural neighborhood. Irving
thought that the three red stars and two
red stripes of the family coat of arms
furnished the germ idea of the American
flag, but the accepted history of the flag
is somewhat different. Three genera
lions of Washingtons lived there. Then
the fortunes Of the family declined, but
were afterwards restored by wealthy

THE BOILER r
Marrow Escape of Miners at the Blue Jay
With Their Lives.

Narrow Escape of Miners at the Blue Jay
With Their Lives.
About 1 O'Clock Thursday afternoon
those living in the eastern part oil town
were startled by a loud report, and those
who looked Immediately in the direction
whence it came saw fragments OF timber
flying about the air little northeast Of the
High School building. The cause wa the
bursting of the boiler of the Blue Jay mine,
situated north of Granite street, about
500 yards northeast of the High School.
1t belongs to the Thornton estate and is
under lease to Whitford & Co. The boiler
in question was a horizontal y and had
been in use probably ten years. 1t is said
to have been made at Erie, Pa.
At the hour mentioned the men, w.
Webb, Frank Stone, c. ]. Jansen and Jack
McCrimmon. with the engineer, E. NJ. Al.
derman, were at work raising the water
column to put it into the tank. The
boiler lay north of the engine house, and
was set north and south. When the explo-
sion took place, it was lifted by the force
from the 6re-box, passed through the en-
CINE house, completely wrecking it, knocked
down the gallows frame and fell about q
hundred feet away. None of the meu
were in the least injured, except McCrim-
mon. Who was cut On the head and on the
shoulder by flying de bris. Two
pieces of the boiler were hurled
east. one about quarter of a mile and the
other several hundred feet further, where it
struck against the side OF a house occupied
by a family named Gillis. P. ]. Lotus
was in the vicinity as it went hurting
through the air and saw it lodge against the
house. The children inside were nearly ter
rifed out Of their wits by the shock, and
hearing their outcry Mr.. Lotus ran to the
assistance of the family, but found them
nothing worse than scared. 1t was the
steam drum and weighs probably $50
pounds.
The engineer stated that he had been in
the habit OF carrying from 1875 to $50
pounds Of steam on the boiler and had
carried as high as 16O. The boiler is used
to run a Knowles ~1Ox7x5x10 sinker pump,
which is one OF the best made. They were
down to a depth of $50 feet and the en-
gineer asserted that he could not pump
from that depth with less than 125 pounds
OF steam.
The pump is guaranteed to work perfectly
at that depth with far less steam than this,
and the agents for the manufacturers say
that % pounds of steam is enough for the
depth mentioned. Practical engineers all
maintain that 80 pounds of steam is the
most any boiler should be allowedto carry.
The engineer had no theory to offer for
the accident. 1t was apparently due to
the unequal strain caused by the original
diagonal stays which had been in it once
not being replaced, but rivsts put into the
holes in the shell instead.
The same mine had an accident a year
ago, the hosting works being demolished
by an explosion OF giant powder set to
dry against the boiler.

The Phenomena of Falling Trees and
Bursting Water Pipes Preceding Storms.

The Phenomena of Falling Trees and
Bursting Water Pipes Preceding Storms.
From the Virginia. New, "Enterprise:''
Those who have at any period OF their lives
resided in a timbered country will remem.
Der that strange phenomenon OF old dead
trees falling to the ground at times when
not a breath Of air was stirring. Often in
a single day, in thickly wooded regions, the
boom and crash OF no fewer than half a
dozen old trees would be heard. This
laundering to the ground of the dead
patriarchs Of the forest was universally
considered by the old backwoodsman to
indicate that a storm was near at hand.
A curious storm phenomenon in this city
is the breaking OF water pipes. The pipes
have now been con the rampage" since last
Sunday night. There has been no freezing
weather, and the pipes appear to burst
without the slightest cause or provocation,
1t is not alone in the ground that the leaks
occur, but in the upper stories OF buildings
as well. 1t is a thing, like the falling Of the
old decayed trees, for which no one is able
to account, yet it is a sure indication OF a
storm.
