STARTLING MINING RUMOR
l Report Circulated to the Effect that
the Bi-Metallic Mining Co. Is Run
ming a Crosscut South Into
the Elizabeth Ground.

A rather startling rumor has been 90
ing the rounds in mining circles for the
past week or so. It may be untrue, but
where there is considerable smoke there
must be a little fire. It is this: that the
Bi-Metallic Mining company have started
a crosscut south in their main working
shaft on the Jas. G. Blaine lode from the
seven hundred foot level, with the evident
intention of exploring the Rattlesnake
ground, the property of the Elizabeth
company.
Under the old West Granite manage
ment all of the underground workings
from the Rattlesnake shaft were to the
north, in the vain hope of striking the
Granite lead, but since then the Granite
company have proven the existence of a
very rich vein of ore directly east and
adjoining the Rattlesnake, in the Sunny
side claim.
Even at the time the West Granite
was in full bloom it is we'll known fact
that some expert miners who were heavy
stockholders earnestly advised the
to run crosscut from the
Rattlesnake shaft to their south side
lines, and had this been done it is more
than probable that the West Granite
company would still be in existence and
possibly great bullion producer.
If the Bi-Metallic company are doing
this, it is OF course doing it with the con-
sent and knowledge of the Elizabeth
company, and if successful, as they al
most unquestionably will be, the Eliza
beth company's stock will soon be again
the best to trade in and the most active
on the st. Louis market.

about forty feet high we'll supported by
guy lines fastened to stakes firmly driven
into the ground. The two young men
were starting for the first load after din
ner, and in driving away from the stack
one of the horses got the lines entangled
around his head, which caused the team
to turn from the direction they were 60
ing. and brought it in close proximity to
one of the stakes to which guy line was
fastened. Fred brought the team to
standstill, and Charley got out and fixed
the lines. Fred started the team, but
did not notice the guy rope was fast on
herack. The team is large, strong one,
and without much effort they pulled the
stake, and also the one on the opposite
side of the mast, which caused the mast
to fall towards them. Charley was lean
ing against the railing on the left side of
the rock. The mast grazed his head,
leaving bad bruise, and struck the rail-
ing he was leaning against with great
force, severely injuring his back and
throwing him to the front end of the
rack, where he lay unconscious. 1t was
most likely the large block at the top of
the mast that struck Fred, crushing in
the whole side of his head. Mr.. Young
saw the mast was falling, not being over
two hundred feet from them. He shouted
at the top of his voice and ran toward
them, but the wind was blowing hard
from the opposite direction and he could
not attract their attention. He got to
the team in time to avoid runaway, un-
hitched them and turned his attention
to the injured men. He found Charley
just regaining consciousness, but Fred
showed no signs of life. Hepoured water
on him, and he began to breathe. He never
recovered consciousness. however, and
ceased to breathe at o'clock that even
ing.
Fred was young man twenty years
old, born at Virginia City, Montana, and
removed with his parents to Washington.
He left home last November and came to
this valley, where he has gained the re-
spect and affection of every person who
a thoroughly good man. By
his kind and gentle treatment be gained
the love of children wherever he went;
and by his inofensive manner, sober and
industrious habits, he gained the respect
and admiration of all who knew him.
The funeral occurred on the 29th at 10
o'clock. Burial services were read by Mr..
it being impossible for a
to get here in time. The funeral
was attended by everyone in this SETTLE
ment. Loving hands covered his coffin
with flowers, and the poor boy was laid
away with as tender care as if he had
been with his own people.

ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.
W. II. ALLEN AND, MRS. COLLINS
IN CHARGE OF THE SHERIFF,
They Will Have a Preliminary Exami.
nation Before Judge Connolly
Sometime During the Week.

OAoIIu @ulSley arrived IN town or
yesterdays noon train, having in custody
W. II. Allen and Mrs. Sarah Collins, who
are both charged with the crime OF
bigamy. In July 1880, at Minot, North
Dakota, W. H. Allen was married, and
shortly afterwards he was convicted of a
crime and sent to the state penitentiary
at Bismarck for long term; but by the
efforts of his wife he was released after
serving four and one-half years. This
spring Allen came to Philipsburg and
secured board at the boarding house of
Mrs. Sarah Collins.
Mrs. Collins had come here during the
winter from Bozeman, and applied to H
F. Titus to act as her lawyer in procur-
ing divorce from her husband, Collins
The suit was entered, but for some cause
wa.sc1slowed to go by default.
Shortly after Aliens arrival, it became
apparent that Mr.. Allen and Mrs. Collins
could never be happy until united for
life, and to that end Justice of the Peace
Connolly was employed to make out the
necessary application for license, and
in that application he gave his name as
w. H. Allen and she as Mrs. Sarah
Collins.
In due time the license was procured
and one evening they applied to Jud dge
Connolly to be married. He refused, and
they at once hired a team and went to
Granite, where, before Judge Gallagher
they took the final step that will very
likely land them both in the penitentiary.
This was about July 1, and shortly
afterwards the boarding house began to
lose business, until 1t was attached by
D. R. McRae & Co. After this misfor
tune Mr.. and Mrs. Allen No. 2 struck
out hunting for new range. Mrs. Col
Inns had two children. One of these was
adopted by a rancher, and the other one
she has with her yet.
They had only got fairly away when
Mrs. Allen No. l, from Minot. came to
town. She at once swore to complaint,
charging Allen with bigamy, and Fl. F.
Titus made similar complaint against
Mrs. Collins.
Sheriff Quigley captured the pair at
Butte the other day ard brought them
here for preliminary examination. They
we're both arraigned yesterday before
Judge Connolly and both plead not
guilty. She denied that Collins was her
name, and he said that his name was
VIM. H. Shackles. Aliens examination
Will be held this afternoon at o'clock,
and Mrs. Collins will have hers at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. w. L.
Brown has been retained for the defense.
