A Mining Man Tells Something oi
the Butte Disaster.

r. b. Turner, a well-known min
ing man, who was largely interested
for years in the great Revenue mine
in Madison county, says the Inde-
pendent, was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Turner built the first cyanide mill
in Montana, and it has proved to be
about the only successful mill of the
kind in the state. He is no longer
connected with the Revenue proper
ty, but is looking around for a good
investment in gold producer. Mr..
Turner was in Butte at the time of
the great explosion. He says the
newspapers have been unable to tell
the half of the horrors of that night.
"The explosion was indescribably
terrific. "The flash fit up for an in
slant the whole city. 1t was though
a calcium light had been turned on
every window. My brother and

just in time to see the second ex-

The scene that followed the explosion
was one that can never be forgotten

Secretary Carlisle Would Have
More Silver Certificates
in Circulation.
AN OPINION UPON THE EXPLOSION.
A Mining Man Thinks About
Two Tons of Powder
Did the Work.

An important meeting of the
house appropriations committee was
held in which Secretary Carlisle
took part at the request of Chairman
Sayers. The conference was over
the adoption of a policy by which the
secretary hopes to put into circula-
ton an increased volume of silver
certificates of small denominations in
place of treasury notes. The COM
mittee decided to strike from the
sundry civil bill the stipulation that
for several years has been added to
the item providing for printing treas
ury notes to replace those received
at the treasury.
The secretary stated it was his de-
sire to get more silver certificates of
small denominations into the hands
of the people, but explained that
other notes occupied the field and
crowded them out. Several mem
bers of the committee led the dis
cussion from the question into the
by-ways of finance. Once Repres-
entative Sibley asked the secretary
what objection there would be to a
system of redeeming notes in gold
and silver at the option Of the secre-
tary of the treasury instead of the
holder.
"If that policy had been inaugur.
ated at the beginning of resumption
answered the secretary, "it would
have worked benefcally, and nc
trouble would have arisen from 1t
But my predecessors have followed
the policy of redeeming in gold OF
silver at the option of the holder Of
paper, and any secretary who tries
to change this policy and force silver
on a man who wanted gold, or vice
versa, would have precipitated dis.
astrous results"

General Warner Says That Will Be

people on the money issue alone.
The consideration which seems to be
leading them to this result is wide
spread conviction that there is no
hope of restoring the bimetallic stand
and through the republican or demo-
cratic parties as now controlled; and
on the other hand it is equally i'm
possible to accomplish this result
within the lines of the populist party,
or to unite on the Omaha platform

allie standard as it was before 1878.

A Plan Devised BY Attorney
General Olney and Intro
duced by McGann.
AN IMPORTANT MINING INVENTION.
Other Scraps of News Gathered
from the Worlds Stage
of Action.

A labor arbitration plan has been
devised by attorney general Olney,
and introduced in congress by chair
man McGann, of the house commit
tee on labor. 1t is intended as a sub
stitute for the one framed by labor
commissioner Wright, as result of
the labors of the Chicago strike COM
mission. In several points the bill is
farther reaching in effect than any
that have previously been brought
forward. The terms ''railroad'' and
"employe" are defined in the bill,
and the latter class includes those
working on cars operated by carrier
under lease, making the carrier re-
sponsible for their acts as though they
were employed by him. Wages paid
to employees, it is stipulated, shall be
reasonable and just.
In case Of wage controversies, the
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission and the commissioner of
labor are to communicate with the
parties, endeavoring to effect an am
icable settlement and if this media
ton fails, the controversy may be
submitted to board of arbitration,
of which the chairman of the inter
state commerce commission shall be
chairman, and which shall consist
also of one commissioner chosen by
the employers and one by the labor
organization to which the employees
directly interested belong. That
award shall be final unless set aside
for error Of law apparent on the rec
ord. Employees dissatisfied with the
award shall not quit work without
three months notice in writing The
award shall be continued in force fol-
two years, and during that time nc
new arbitration between the same
parties on the same subject shall be
had.

ton of employment that men shall
not be members of any labor organi-
zation, or discharge or threaten tc
discharge men for such membership
or discriminate against them because
of it, or enter into contracts compel.

Earmed Out His Office.

Populist Sheriff Williams of Spok-

was SO besieged by applicants for
deputyships that he entered into an
agreement with J. B. Gray, the out
going republican county clerk,
whereby Gray should take the office,
run it and keep s11O of the monthly
salary-the remaining $40 he was to
turn over to Williams. The popu-
lists held an Indignation meeting,
sent for Williams and prevailed on
him to resign. Gray who had en-
tered upon the discharge of duties,
vacated the office. The county
commissioners then appointed Sam

A NEW MINE CAGE.
1t Was Invented by a Resident Of
Sheridan.

Alex Gray, a young mechanic for
merly in the employ of the Anaconda
company, is the inventor of patent
mine cage, which is now in operation
at the Letter mine at Sheridan. This
cage embodies some important feat
ures which have hitherto been neg
lected by mechanics and miners who
have taken an interest in the safety
of men underground. The principal
feature of the cage is the improve
ment it makes upon the old style
chair. In this cage the chairs are
made part of the cage, and by a
slight pressure of lever they can be
thrown in or out at will. The station
tender can never leave the chairs in.
as they fly back as soon as the engine
takes the load off of them. They can
be used in making repairs to the shaft
sucn as retimbering, ETC., as they will
rest on any set of timbers, and the
men feel much safer with the cage
resting on the chairs than if it hang
by the rope or cable. Allowing the
cage to drop on the chairs at station
is source of trouble at all the mines
OF the district. With this cage the
only way damage can be done is b,
dropping the cage into the sump oil
by hosting it into the sheaves. Will

the old style cage the bottom can be
taken off and another bottom with the
chairs substituted in about three
hours. AT the Letter mine the cage
was in running order two and one
half hours after work began on the
change, and it is claimed it costs less
to substitute the new bottom and
chairs than it does to put in an ordin-
ary set of chairs.

for several years ago, when our mill
burned down at the Revenue mine
in Madison county, we had 300
pounds of the stuff burnt up. The
powder was in the building, and
when the fire started, you may be-

it out, but simply covered ground to
get at safe distance. We got
about half mile away and waited
for the explosion, but it never came.
The powder actually burned up, al

Wholesale Decapitation.

Advices from the orient, per steam
er Empress of Japan, say the situa-
ton in Pekin is growing more COM
plicated since the arrival of Viceroy
Lui Kun Lib. The first evidence of
his activity is the issuance of decree
condemning Admirals Ting Kung
and Tao Tai to death, and all other
officers in command of divisions, vet
alive, who showed cowardice before
or after battle. BY this sweeping
order none of the admirals or gener-
ais escape. The board of punishment
will publicly disgrace the command
ers before execution. Admiral Kung
is brother to the Chinese minister
to England and is especially selected
on account Of his enmity to Ii Hung
