By the collapse of a scatfold yesterday five men
we're dropped into the basement of building in
course of erection on First-ave. Fortunately
however, only from the first story, 80 that no
one was killed outright, and all may recover.
This kind of carecssneSs on the part of copt|s
OBS is altogether too common. Ignorance of their
rights, or friendlessncss, or a fear of losing en-
ployment in the future, generally prevents the
recovery of damages by wOrlmen who have been
injured in that fashion, which is all the more
reason why the authorities should intervene.

Butte, Monv has, however, escaped with
much smaller loss than either Seattle or Spokane

in this way in so brief a period hardly seems
accidental. In Seattle and Spokane Falls it
was the large number of wooden buildings

MAsTopoNs IN ALASKA.
a Queer Report Circulated by . Band OF
Northern Indians.

n queer Report Circulated by Band OF
Northern Indians.
That the mastodon was once common
in Alaska is certain from the great
number of their skeletons, found in the
marshes and clay banks of the Yukon
and northern plains; but that this huge
pachyderm still exists there in the liv-
ing state has never been deemed likely,
or even conjectured until recently.
This conjecture rests on reports by way
of the Stick Indians on the White river,
tributary of the Yukon.
The account is that while hunting on
q wooded bottom, q few miles from this
river, two Indians came upon Il trail,
consisting of enormous tracks fully two
feet across, and deeply imprinted in the
moss and earth, strewn along near
which were broken branches of the
trees. Following cautiously on these
signs, they at length heard the noise OF
the creature feeding, and presently
spied a prodigious animal, as largo,
they assert, as white mans house
meaning the traders one-story store.
Its teeth, they declared, were as long as
mans leg, and curved outward, while
its ears were likened to q seal-skin in
size. In color it was represented to be
dark brown. 1t leaned against dead
tree-stub, and scratched its side, and is
body seemed to be covered with patches
of coarse brown hair. Terrified at the
sight of such enormous game, the two
hunters promptly reiterated.
Other native hunters corroborate this
story with similar accounts of their ex-
periences; accounts which they are re-
luctant to relate for fear of ridicule. or
from some superstitious feelings regard
ing the matter. The uncharitable at
tribute the appar. tion of the strange
beast to the misunderstanding effects of
hoochinoo-a particularly viilainous
kind Of whisky distilled from moiusses.
Others rejoin that these Indians never
take h0Octtmoo while on hunt-or. in
other words, that they never go on
hunt as long as there is any hoOchiHoo
left in the ranckerie.
This may be subjecting the narrative
OF the natives to a somewhat harsh crit
icism, the more so when tits considered
that one of the two who saw the sup
posed mastodon is an Indian of known
probity and good characterize with
three others of his tribe having brought
down to the trading post the body of
the late murdered bishop.
Let us hope that these Indians have
really seen a mastodon, and that it may,
in due course. figure in the place of the
lamented Jumbo, and not only substan-
riate the theories of the savants, but de-
light the eyes of every boy and girl in

The Area Of British India.

An appendix to the new Indian sta
tistical abstract contains a table show
ing the increase in the area and popu-
lation Of India since 1912. In that year
the area was 626,000 square miles, in
1914 it increased to CTS, 900, in 1877 to
1914, 900, in 1913 to 600, 900. and 80 down
to 1865 more or less was added every
year Except 1859, until it reached
832, 600 square miles, and in 1857 it rose
to $4,000. At this it remained until
1860, when this increased to $50, 600; in
1882 this rose to 86S, 256, and in 1886 to
947,887 square miles. So that British
india in 1886 was half as large again as
1t was in 1912. Perhaps this extraor-
binary increase will be better UNDER
stood when put in this way: Since 1912
IN area equal TO that of France, Italy
and Belgium has been added to British
India-that is, to British Territory in
India ling the native States. In
1912 British India had an area equal to
that of France, Spain and the German
Empire to-day; by 1852 an area as large
ms Italy and Portugal together was add
ed to this; by 1862 a further area as
large rs Hungary was added, and. by
1882 this was increased by the area of
Holland, and by 1886 an area equivalent
to that Of the whole German Empire
excluding the Kingdom Of Prussia, was
added to this. The area Of the native
States under British protection, which
are not included in the above. is rough
ly equivalent to the combined areas of
the Austro Hungarian Empire,
Spain, Portugal and Italy.-London

WEST GRANITE.
It is understood from St.Louis, says the
Journal, that L. A. Coquard has instruc.
ted his attorneys to bring action against
the trustees Of the West Granite com.
pany. This makes the poor stockholders
ask, "Oh, Lord, how long will this con.
tinue?" This Coquard is gaining a repu-
tation as an obstructionist. He does not
control over 1900 shares of the stock
yet he appears to be able to impede the
contemplated operations on tho mine
which the St. Louis syndicate proposes
to put into execution. The people ol
Montana are anxious to see the West
Granite, as we'll as any other mine, pro-
duce metal if it has any. AS far as the
West Granite properties are concerned
nobody bnt those on the inside know
whether it is valuable or not, but ir the
light of recent occurrences, it is more
than probable that rich body OF ore has
been encountered. else, why should the
heaviest owners of the Granite Mountain
and B1-Metal!ic be willing. and even
anxious, to advance $15O,OO0 ia order to
gain control of the property. The mining
people of Montaca, and particu' arly those
Of Phi ipsburg, are anxious to see this
property worked, and Mr.. Coquard will
not be app auded for his efforts in OBJ
structing mining operations"
