The Black Warrior Hoisting Works BIown Up by an Unknown
 ScOuadrei,

The hois5ing engine of the Black WsFrior Copper company, in Webster
 gulch, was blown up on Monday morn
 ing about four o'oiook, by some uG-
 known miscrearb. Giant powder wae placed under each of ths two cylinders Of the engine end exploded few min utss apart. The reports were distinctly
 heard ct the Black Warrior camp, eight
 hundred or nine hundred feet diatsnt,
 but no one wsnt to investigate the cause
 until three hours latsF. The explosion
 completely wrecked the engine, blowing
 the cylinders inso fragments and tear
 ing esuudsr bhe wooden fouuds-
 tion blocks which were boited to the
 the stone beneath, ,end elao blew the roof
 off thab poFtioa of the building Ths
 damage done amounts sc fully 8 ,OO0,

 So fer Gs is known thAFs is no dsfnite clue as to the peFpetrstor of this msig
 nsnt act, but he ia evidently someone
 we'll aequ siDted with the premises and with the working hours as tue time chosen WAS half hour after the night force comes off shift, but for week or more previous there had been no night work done.
 The wrscksr, vsry likely, was @ dis- charged employe, who took this damn able method to revenge himself on the company. He showed reckless audEcity, too, as he evidently took g lamp which hung at the end of the building and after the explosion went into the en- zine house to view the destruction he had wrought. Mir. Ross, the mine foreman, having been awakened by the report, got up and looked out of his tent and he say the light moving around the corner of the. building, but concluded it was one of Me. R 1binson's 1 teemstsTs who haul ore, and whom he supposed had gotten up earlier than l usual to repair his wagons.
 Within 8 copple of hours after the | news was received in town Sheriff Will | Iiamstone, John Bgauamau and two In- 1 dian trailers won't out to Webster gulch | to investigate the crime, but failed to | iud any evidanoe which might lead to 1 .he identity of the cuIprit. The ground l about the hoisting works had been ;Femped over so much before the 'heriff's posse arrived that the Indians were unable to distinguish the tracks.
 The foul oeed caused great indiRns- ,ioD, and the opinion wss generally ez pressed thst the perpetFator if caught hould be given a short shift and trong. rope. The company has offered reward of S2OO for information that ,ill lead to the arrsss ard conviction of he wreckers Globe SiIUer Bell.
