THE ANACONDA SHUT DOWN.
A Break In the Machinery Causes n sus
pension of Work

Break In the Machinery Causes n Sus-
pension of Work.
BUTTE. March 5.-tSpeciall Tho Ana
conda mine was closed down at noon to-
day, on account of the breaking Of the
twelve-inch shaft Of the hoisting engine.
At $3.50 this morning Engineer ST Hawiey
allowed the cage to drop on the chairs.
Work was continued with one cage in one
compartment Of the shaft, while new cage
was being put in position to take the place
of the one damaged by the fall on the
chairs. At this time nothing was noticed
of the damage to the reel shaft and work
was carried on until noon. When the en-
Rineer went to oil up at the dinner hour he
discovered the break, between the reel and
the bearing of the hoist. After calling the
attention of the chief engineer to it, the
latter decided it unsafe to continue work,
and a shutdown was ordered. 1t will be
necessary to send to Philadelphia for
new shaft, and this will require four and
possibly six weeks. There were 44O men
employed in tho Anaconda mine and all
have been laid off. An old engine is being
rigged up and it is expected to be able to
partially resume in q day or two perhaps
200 men being employed. The other mines
of the Anaconda company will be run to
their full capacity and will be fully able,
meanwhile. to supply the sme!ters at Ana
conda.
