Yesterday acquitted of robbery, was to-day
found guilty of attempting to break jail

CHICAGO, Oct. a1.-A special dispatch
from Butte City, Mont, says: Within the
next ten days the famous Anaconda mine
will be in full blast. Last spring the mine
shut down. Two reasons are given for
this. One WAS that Haggin, believing he
owned and controlled the bulk of the cop
per in the world. closed down in order
to corner it. The other reason was
that the railroad which runs from
Anaconda over to Butte a distance OF
twenty five miles, had concluded to charge
Haggin its own rate for conveying ore from
the mine at Butte to Anaconda and return
ing the product ready for market from Ana
conda TO Butte. This Haggin would not
consent to, and he closed tho mine. From
what is considered a pretty reliable source
information has been received that within
tho next ten days 1000 men will be put to
work in the construction Of new line from
Butte City to the smelters This done, the
new road will be built from Boise City. the
intention being to extend 1t ultimately TO
