SAND COULEE MINE.
Some Kind Words of Manager Burrell
From Competent Authority.

Some Kind Words of Manager BurrelI
From Competent Authority.
Superintendent Tibbey of the Parrot
mine at Butte, who has been visiting the
Sand Coulee mines to see what he could
see, spent Saturday in Great Falls ow-
ing to the delay of the west. bound train.
Mr.. Tibbey was seen at the Park by THE
TRIBUNE, and in the course of CONVEX
satlon paid some high compliments to
the work of Manager Burrell OF the Sand
Coulee.
Mr.. Tibbey is a man fully competent
to speak upon the subject of mining, for
he has followed the business from the
age Of Z years until the present. He has
worked in the coal mines of England,
Wales, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Wyo-
ming, and in the quartz mines in the
northwest, and the Parrot is conceded to
be model.
In speaking Of mining generally, he
said that any thoroughly competent coal
miner could open up and conduct q
quartz mine, but not all the quartz min
ers would be able to develop great coal
mine. The conditions were materially
dluerent, Che coal miner having size OF
mine, the course of vein, ordinarily fiat
instead Of pitched, and above all the
gases to contend with.
Regarding the Sand Coulee mine be
said that the development and condition
Of the mine was such that he could say
that it is by far the best managed coal
mine he has seen in the northwest or the
coast, and he has seen the most of them.
This Of course could only be attributed
to the capacity and practical knowledge
of the manager, Mr.. Burrell, whose
knowledge had not only been gained by
long experience, but who was still stu
dent and an originator. and who was
willing to adopt all new devices and i'm
prove on them when he could.
Mr.. Tibbey spoke in detail Of several
improvements and during the entire talk
used only words Of praise for the Sand
Coulee mine and it's manager.

The sweet strains rendered by the
Black Eagle band attracted the atten.
tion Of hundreds Of people Saturday
but they could not be coerced or cajoled
into attending another Helena for the
capital meeting, and consequently great
vacancies were observable in the hall,
showing that the attendance was not
one-half as large as at the meeting held
two weeks ago. The speeches were de-
voted to attempts to show that Anaconda
is the center Of barbarism, that all evil
emanates thence, and that Helena is the
Source Of all goodness. Very few ladies
attended and they left, with the major

Perhaps such would have been the case
had less enthusiastic and able librarian
than Miss Weitman been chosen, but, in
fact, her courteous treatment of all

issued to constantly increase, and her
efforts have caused the patrons to re-

she been unaided in her attempt to
stimulate the people to read solid liter.

Benjamin Tibbey, superintendent of
the Parrot mines in Butte and largely
interested in coal properties in the Flat
head, arrived in Great Falls Thursday
and registered at the Park. Mr.. Tibbey
is an old Pennsylvania coal miner and in
the management OF the splendid Parrot
quartz mine in Butte his 'hobby" is ven-
tilation and timbering, and in these re-
spects the Parrot is a model. The OBJ
ject of the gentleman's visit here is to
look over some of the recent improve
ments in the Sand Coulee mines, and for
that purpose he will be the guest Of Supt.
Burrell and visit the properties today.
Mr. Tibbey has just returned from a
visit to the Flsthead country by way Of
Spokane, and was in the latter city when
the late Prof. Parsons met his death
His attention was In some way directed
to the article in The TRIBUNE Of Tues
day upon the death Of Mr.. Parsons in
which it was stated by The TRIBUNE
correspondent at Spokane that he
(Jfbbey) and Marcus DAILY, being
In the city, rendered all the assistance
they could to notify the friends of de-
ceased, and see that the body was en-
balmed and sent to Boston in suitable
manner. Mr.. Tibbey, being a modest
gentleman, felt that the correspondent
had not given credit just where it be-
longed and he called at The TRIBUNE
office last night to make an explanation.
He says that while it is true that, pend
ing the arrival of news from the relatives
Of the deceased, both Mr. DAILY and him
self offered any assistance in their power,
the remains had been taken in charge
by Patrick Clark and Ben G. Kingsbury,
both formerly Of Butte, and they had at
tended to all the details IN the way of
telegraphing and having the body pre-
pared for burial that were necessary.
He asked that this statement be made
in justice to the gentlemen named and it
is cheerfully done.

THE CITY ENGINEERS RECORDS
Much Valuable Work Is Being Done
in Reducing Order Out Of
Chaos.
The Grades Of the City Streets Need
Checking Up and New Pro-
files Made.

City Engineer Swearinger is bus!
working up the records in his offibe and
getting the matters pertaining to street
grades, sewers and sidewalks into ship
shape. He has prepared profile maps
showing the excavation on all the latera
sewers built since he was city engineer
These maps are colored to show the diff
ferent strata Of earth, sand, gumbo. soft
rock and hard rock through which the
contractors had to 60 in excavating the
bitches through the various blocks, and
these records will be very valuable to
the city when the streets in these blocks
come to be graded, showing as they do
just the amount and character Of the
excavations required and enabling the
city engineer to make very close esti-
mate on the cost Of any proposed i'm
provement.
Speaking of street grades Mr.. Swear
niger said that there was urgent need Of
checking over the street grades and
placing proper monuments at street in
tersections many Of these having been
lost. In most OF the blocks there is a
slight excess, and this should also be
properly distributed among the different
blocks. Speaking of the necessity for
checking over the street grades the en-
gineer instanced the site Of the new
high school building. At this point,
which is the crest of rise, sloping
down on either side, the grade
as laid down in the ordinance
gives fill of about foot and half
where there should be a cut. The
profile map at First avenue north shows
the ground at this point to be about IA
inches higher than it actually is. A
good many mistakes Of this kind have
been discovered and it is probable that
many more exist. These errors may
prove very troublesome to the city later
on and Mr.. Swearinger in his annual re-
port to the council urged on them the
necessity of having the work Of former
city engineers gone over and checked up
and new profiles Of the street grades
made.
Since Mr.. Swearinger has been acting
as city engineer a system has been
adopted of keeping the most detailed
records in regard to every piece Of city
" ork done, and macs Of most valuable
information has been gathered and
placed in convenient shape for ready
reference.

Guard the Jail to Prevent His
Being Lynched.

bring the news of dastardly crimina
assault committed upon the person o.
Mrs. Roger La Barge, living about three
miles east Of Hsvre. A burly negro
called at the La Barge home, while Mr..
La Barge was absent in the Little
Rockies, and learning that Mrs. La
Barge was alone, forced her to submit
to his fiendish purpose, meantime hold
ing the keen edge Of a razor at her
throat.
After the crime had been committed
one Of the woman's sons went to Havre
and spread the news. A posse was sum-
moned and soon had the ravsher in it's
clutches. He was taken to Havre where
he is confined in Jail.
Then the full story OF his crimes was
revealed. In the evening a sergeant
from Fort Assinaboine recognized the
villain as Private John Washington a
recent deserter.
Mary Brass filed complaint alleging
that Washington met her on the high
way and relieved her of S5.
Sam Spaulding complained that
Washington stole from him the horse
and equipments with which he visited
the LaBarge ranch. A soldier boy at
Assinaboine filed complaint charging
the negro with stealing the razor with
which he terrorized his victims.
The LsBarges are French half-breeds
and are excellent citizens and are greatly
respected in Havre. When the tale of
the outrage reached Havre the chival-
rous citizens were ablaze with excite
ment. And when it was learned that
the criminal was in jail it seemed that
nothing could save his life. Special depu-
ties are guarding the Jail and the excite
ment is somewhat allayed.
